[0002] At present, the polishing of semiconductor components is usually fine grinding, that is, removing the mechanical and physical scratches on the surface of the wafer. However, due to the difference of the surface material of the semiconductor, the main component of the substrate is silicon dioxide, which is relatively hard; the substrate contains a nickel-iron component in the induction coil, which is relatively soft. The technical requirement of fine grinding and polishing is that the surface of the substrate needs to be higher than the surface of the nickel-iron by 0.25-0.3um. Therefore, if the diamond particles of the grinding fluid are large, it will cause scratches on the surface of the nickel-iron, and also cause the nickel-iron material to be too high above the silicon dioxide substrate. If the diamond particles are small, the nickel-iron material will be ground too much, and finally the plane will be too low above the silicon dioxide substrate. SUMMARY

[0021] Figure 1 is a flow chart of the method for semiconductor processing in the embodiment of the present application. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all the other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0023] Please refer to Figure 1 is a flow chart of the method for semiconductor processing in the embodiment of the present application.

[0024] The method for semiconductor processing in the embodiment of the present application comprises:

[0025] In step S101, the semiconductor is placed on a grinding disc for first thinning processing, so that the substrate of the semiconductor is thinned by a preset thickness; wherein the particle size of the diamond particles on the grinding disc in the first thinning processing is 450-550 μm.

[0026] In step S102, the semiconductor is placed on a grinding disc for second thinning processing, so that the substrate of the semiconductor is higher than the nickel-iron part of the semiconductor by 0.25-0.3 μm; wherein the particle size of the diamond particles on the grinding disc in the second thinning processing is 4-6 nm, and in the second thinning processing, a laser beam is used to irradiate the nickel-iron part of the semiconductor, so that the nickel-iron part of the semiconductor is protruded from the top surface of the substrate of the semiconductor by heating.

[0027] In the embodiment of the present application, the semiconductor is placed on a grinding disc for first thinning processing, so that the substrate of the semiconductor is thinned by a preset thickness; wherein the particle size of the diamond particles on the grinding disc in the first thinning processing is 450-550 μm; and the semiconductor is placed on a grinding disc for second thinning processing, so that the substrate of the semiconductor is higher than the nickel-iron part of the semiconductor by 0.25-0.3 μm; wherein the particle size of the diamond particles on the grinding disc in the second thinning processing is 4-6 nm, and in the second thinning processing, a laser beam is used to irradiate the nickel-iron part of the semiconductor, so that the nickel-iron part of the semiconductor is protruded from the top surface of the substrate of the semiconductor by heating. Therefore, in the grinding, the nickel-iron part of the semiconductor becomes the main part to be ground, and the surface of the substrate of the semiconductor does not bear too much grinding, so that the grinding is targeted, and the nickel-iron part of the semiconductor can easily meet the requirements in terms of height change and polishing precision, and thus the semiconductor obtains good grinding effect.

[0028] The main component of the substrate of the semiconductor is silicon dioxide, which is hard; the inductive coil containing nickel-iron component in the substrate is soft. Before the first thinning treatment, the semiconductor can be measured, and generally the test shows that the plane of the nickel-iron part of the semiconductor is 1-2 μm higher than the surface of the substrate of the semiconductor, and the preset thickness in this embodiment is 30 μm. In the first thinning treatment, the semiconductor element is placed on the grinding disc for thinning. Preferably, the particle size of the diamond particles on the grinding disc is 500 μm, and the rotation speed of the grinding disc is 50 rpm. This step is to thin the silicon dioxide substrate by 30 μm, but the surface of the nickel-iron coil is damaged to a greater extent. Most importantly, the surface of the nickel-iron is higher than the silicon dioxide substrate, and the height difference between the two surfaces is 2-3 μm. Under this operation condition, it is shown that the processing amount of the nickel-iron surface is less than that of the silicon dioxide substrate, thus causing the height difference to increase.

[0029] In an alternative embodiment, after the first thinning treatment, before the step S102 of "placing the semiconductor on the grinding disc for the second thinning treatment, so that the substrate of the semiconductor is 0.25-0.3 μm higher than the nickel-iron part of the semiconductor", it further comprises:

[0030] placing the semiconductor in deionized water and cleaning it by ultrasonic oscillation for 20 minutes;

[0031] drying the cleaned semiconductor.

[0032] In an alternative embodiment, in the second thinning treatment, the semiconductor element is placed on the grinding disc for thinning, and at this time, the nickel-iron part is irradiated by laser, and at this time, the nickel-iron material is elongated by heating. The laser beam is emitted by a laser generator, which is a pulsed laser. The wavelength of the emitted laser is 200 nm, the diameter of the laser beam is 0.1-2 μm, the laser power is 0.5-1 W, and the laser irradiation time is 4-6 seconds, for example, 4 seconds, 5 seconds, 6 seconds, etc., and preferably 5 seconds. Preferably, the laser power is 0.7-0.9 W, the particle size of the diamond particles on the grinding disc in the second thinning treatment is 5 nm, and the rotation speed of the grinding disc in the second thinning treatment is 10 rpm. The particle size of the diamond particles on the grinding disc is about 5 nm, and this step is a polishing thinning. The expected thickness of the thinned semiconductor is 5 nm. Since the surface of the nickel-iron is protruded by heating in this step, it will become the main part to be ground, and the surface of the silicon dioxide substrate will not bear much grinding. Therefore, the purposeful grinding can easily meet the requirements of the nickel-iron surface in terms of height change and polishing accuracy.

[0033] In addition, the polishing disc material in the embodiment of the present application is a tin disc. The PH value of the polishing liquid used by the polishing disc in the first thinning process and the second thinning process is 10. The polishing liquid is mainly an alkaline solution, mainly ammonium hydroxide, with a PH value of 10. If the PH value cannot meet the requirements, sodium hydroxide can be used for proportioning adjustment.

[0034] In an alternative embodiment, after the step S102 "putting the semiconductor into the polishing disc for the second thinning process, making the substrate of the semiconductor higher than the nickel-iron part of the semiconductor by 0.25-0.3 μm", it further comprises:

[0035] putting the semiconductor into deionized water and cleaning it by ultrasonic oscillation for 20 minutes;

[0036] drying the cleaned semiconductor.
