[0037] In order to further explain the technical means and effects adopted by the present invention to achieve the predetermined purpose, the present invention is described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.

[0038] The description of the method flow in the specification of the present invention and the steps of the flowchart in the drawings of the specification of the present invention do not have to be strictly executed according to the step numbers, and the method steps can be executed in a different order. Moreover, some steps can be omitted, multiple steps can be combined into one step, and / or one step can be decomposed into multiple steps.

[0039] like Figure 1 As shown, a method for preparing a semiconductor device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes:

[0040] B100, such as Figure 2 As shown, the SiC substrate 10 on which the front components are prepared is adsorbed onto the glass carrier 30;

[0041] For example Figure 2 As shown in FIG. 1 , the SiC substrate 10 can be fixed to the glass carrier 30 by adsorption by a robot 20 , or by adsorption by a suction cup or other vacuum adsorption equipment.

[0042] B200, such as Figure 3 As shown, after removing the SOG 60 between the SiC substrate 10 and the Si-based carrier 40 , the Si-based carrier 40 is removed;

[0043] B300, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the SiC substrate 10 is turned over, and the SiC substrate 10 and the glass carrier 30 are sealed using PI50;

[0044] B400, such as Figure 6 As shown, the SiC substrate 10 is subjected to a back-side coating process to form a metal film 150;

[0045] B500, such as Figure 7 As shown, the metal film 150 is cut according to a preset cutting track;

[0046] B600, such as Figure 8-Figure 11 As shown, the SiC substrate 10 after the metal film 150 is cut is bonded to the tempered glass 70 by UV adhesive 80, and the SiC substrate 10 cutting process is performed.

[0047] According to the method for preparing a semiconductor device of an embodiment of the present invention, when the SiC substrate 10 is transferred from the Si-based carrier 40 to the glass carrier 30, it is first fixed by adsorption, and then the SiC substrate 10 and the glass carrier 30 are sealed by the PI 50. Thus, the convenience of transferring the SiC substrate 10 from the Si-based carrier 40 to the glass carrier 30 is improved.

[0048] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 8-Figure 13 As shown, in step B500 , after the SiC substrate 10 is bonded to the tempered glass 70 , the PI 50 sealing the SiC substrate 10 and the glass carrier 30 is removed, and the glass carrier 30 is removed.

[0049] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 11-13 As shown, when cutting the SiC substrate 10, a picosecond laser is first used to perform invisible cutting on the SiC substrate 10 to cut out a texture, such as Fig.11 and Fig.12As shown, the texture described here can be understood as a laser modified area S1 formed on the SiC substrate 10 by a laser process. Then, the SiC substrate 10 is split from the texture by a split film expansion process. It should be noted that the picosecond laser has a short wavelength and high energy, and can perform invisible cutting on the surface of the SiC substrate 10 with a higher hardness. After the cutting process is completed, the UV glue 80 can be illuminated to unseal the cut SiC substrate 10 and the tempered glass 70.

[0050] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the strengthened glass 70 in step B500 is a flexible strengthened glass 70. The flexible strengthened glass 70 has good support and can be bent, so it can support cutting of a thin SiC substrate 10.

[0051] In some embodiments of the present invention, Fig.12 As shown, by bending the tempered glass 70 , the laser modified region S1 of the SiC substrate 10 is subjected to tensile force and tension, and the SiC substrate 10 is cleaved.

[0052] It should be noted that the SiC substrate 10 has a high hardness, and it is difficult to cut a thin SiC substrate 10. The present invention first uses a picosecond laser to cut a corresponding texture on the SiC substrate 10, and then cleaves the SiC substrate 10 by bending the tempered glass 70 to achieve cutting of the SiC substrate 10.

[0053] According to some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2 As shown, the glass carrier 30 is provided with a plurality of through vent holes 310 at intervals. Thus, the robot 20 can adsorb the glass carrier 30 and the SiC substrate 10 through the vent holes 310 .

[0054] In some embodiments of the present invention, before the SiC substrate 10 is adsorbed onto the glass carrier 30, liquid is used to pre-fix the SiC substrate 10 and the glass carrier 30. For example, water droplets or a water film may be coated on the surface of the SiC substrate 10, or water droplets or a water film may be coated on the surface of the glass carrier 30, and the SiC substrate 10 and the glass carrier 30 may be pre-fixed by liquid tension to improve the convenience of fixing the SiC substrate 10 and the glass carrier 30.

[0055] According to some embodiments of the present invention, when liquid is used to pre-fix the SiC substrate 10 and the glass carrier 30, in step B300, when PI50 is used to seal the SiC substrate 10 and the glass carrier 30, part of the edges of the SiC substrate 10 and the glass carrier 30 are sealed.

[0056] It should be noted that by sealing part of the edges of the SiC substrate 10 and the glass carrier 30 , a gap can be created between the SiC substrate 10 and the glass carrier 30 to evaporate water droplets or water films, thereby preventing water droplets or water films from accumulating and affecting the performance of the semiconductor device.

[0057] The following is a detailed description of a method for preparing a semiconductor device according to the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings in a specific embodiment. It is worth noting that the following description is only an exemplary description and should not be construed as a specific limitation on the present invention.

[0058] like Figure 1 As shown, a method for preparing a semiconductor device comprises:

[0059] B100, such as Figure 2 As shown, the SiC substrate 10 with the front components prepared is adsorbed to the glass carrier 30 by the robot 20; the glass carrier 30 is provided with a plurality of through vents 310 at intervals. Thus, the robot 20 can adsorb the glass carrier 30 and the SiC substrate 10 through the vents 310.

[0060] Before the SiC substrate 10 is adsorbed onto the glass carrier 30 by the robot 20, the SiC substrate 10 and the glass carrier 30 may be pre-fixed by liquid. For example, water droplets or a water film may be coated on the surface of the SiC substrate 10, or water droplets or a water film may be coated on the surface of the glass carrier 30, and the SiC substrate 10 and the glass carrier 30 may be pre-fixed by liquid tension to improve the convenience of fixing the SiC substrate 10 and the glass carrier 30.

[0061] B200, such as Figure 3 As shown, after removing the SOG 60 between the SiC substrate 10 and the Si-based carrier 40 , the Si-based carrier 40 is removed;

[0062] B300, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the SiC substrate 10 is turned over, and the SiC substrate 10 and the glass carrier 30 are sealed using PI50;

[0063] When the SiC substrate 10 and the glass carrier 30 are pre-fixed by liquid, in step B300 , when the SiC substrate 10 and the glass carrier 30 are sealed by PI50 , part of the edges of the SiC substrate 10 and the glass carrier 30 are sealed.

[0064] It should be noted that by sealing part of the edges of the SiC substrate 10 and the glass carrier 30 , a gap can be created between the SiC substrate 10 and the glass carrier 30 to evaporate water droplets or water films, thereby preventing water droplets or water films from accumulating and affecting the performance of the semiconductor device.

[0065] B400, such as Figure 6 As shown, metal coating is performed on the back side of the SiC substrate 10;

[0066] B500, such as Figure 7 As shown, the metal film 150 is cut according to a preset cutting track;

[0067] B600, such as Figure 8-Figure 12 As shown, after the SiC substrate 10 after the metal film 150 is cut is bonded to the tempered glass 70 through UV glue 80, the PI 50 sealing the SiC substrate 10 and the glass carrier 30 is removed, the glass carrier 30 is removed, and the SiC substrate 10 is cut.

[0068] like Fig.11 As shown, when cutting the SiC substrate 10, a picosecond laser is first used to cut the texture of the SiC substrate 10, and then a split film expansion process is used to split the SiC substrate 10 from the texture. Among them, the strengthened glass 70 is a flexible strengthened glass 70, such as Fig.12 As shown, SiC substrate 10 is cleaved by bending strengthened glass 70 .

[0069] It should be noted that the SiC substrate 10 has a high hardness, and it is difficult to cut a thin SiC substrate 10. The present invention first uses a picosecond laser to cut a corresponding texture on the SiC substrate 10, and then cleaves the SiC substrate 10 by bending the tempered glass 70 to achieve cutting of the SiC substrate 10.

[0070] In summary, when the SiC substrate 10 is transferred from the Si-based carrier 40 to the glass carrier 30, the present invention uses the robot 20 to fix it by adsorption, and then the SiC substrate 10 and the glass carrier 30 are sealed by the PI50. As a result, the convenience of transferring the SiC substrate 10 from the Si-based carrier 40 to the glass carrier 30 is improved. Moreover, when cutting the SiC substrate 10, the texture is cut out by picosecond laser, and the SiC substrate 10 is cracked by bending the flexible glass, which improves the reliability of cutting the thinner SiC substrate 10.

[0071] Through the description of the specific implementation methods, a deeper and more specific understanding of the technical means and effects adopted by the present invention to achieve the predetermined purpose should be obtained. However, the accompanying drawings are only for reference and illustration purposes and are not intended to limit the present invention.
