Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of integrated circuit technology, and in particular to a chip splicing method and chip splicing mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] With the development of digital technology, semiconductor manufacturing technology, and the arrival of the information age, image sensors, as optoelectronic components in the optoelectronic industry, are increasingly being used.
[0003] Compared to amorphous silicon, CMOS flat panel detectors have the advantages of high frame rate, low noise, and low dose. However, due to wafer size limitations, the largest wafer size that can be manufactured at present is 12 inches (300 mm) in diameter.
[0004] CMOS flat panel detectors are difficult to fabricate with large target areas, and due to the square shape of the internal chips, the actual chip size after wafer dicing is less than 300mm. In practical applications, CMOS flat panel detectors are limited by wafer size, making it difficult to achieve large imaging areas. Currently, the industry generally involves directly bonding several chips onto a large chip substrate using a medium with strong adhesive properties. This approach results in chips that cannot be removed, and if one chip in the module fails, the entire module becomes unusable. Large-sized chips are extremely expensive, leading to significant cost waste.
[0005] Therefore, those skilled in the art are dedicated to developing a chip splicing method and chip splicing mechanism that allows for the non-destructive disassembly of chip components after splicing, greatly solving the problem of overall module scrapping due to chip defects. Moreover, the splicing method is simple and easy to operate. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a chip splicing method and chip splicing mechanism, which allows for the non-destructive disassembly of chip components after splicing, greatly solving the problem of overall scrapping of modules due to chip defects. Moreover, the splicing method is simple and easy to operate.
[0007] The technical solution of the present invention to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: A chip splicing method, comprising the following steps:
[0008] S1. Place two chips under the rangefinder and splice them together, so that the distance between adjacent pixels on the two chips is equal to N times the pixel size of the rangefinder;
[0009] S2. After splicing, use adhesive to bond the seam between the two chips to make the two chips bond firmly;
[0010] S3. Repeat steps S1 and S2 until the M*T chips are firmly bonded together to form a chip assembly;
[0011] S4. Adhering a removable traceless glue on the surface of the chip assembly, and adhering the chip assembly on a fixed plate through the traceless glue;
[0012] S5. Coating an adhesive medium on a backing plate, and transferring the chip assembly and the fixed plate to the backing plate, so that the surface of the chip assembly and the side opposite to the fixed plate abuts and adheres to the adhesive medium;
[0013] S6. Removing the adhesive and the traceless glue on the fixed plate and the chip assembly, so that the surface of the chip assembly adheres to the backing plate through the adhesive medium.
[0014] The beneficial effects of the present application are that after the chips are placed at the required distance, the chips are pre-fixed through the adhesive, and then the chips are transferred to the backing plate through the traceless glue and the fixed plate, and the adhesive and the traceless glue are removed, so that the chips are fixed on the backing plate, and the CMOS flat panel detector module of the target size is obtained by splicing. The present application has the excellent characteristics of rework, that is, the chip assembly can be disassembled without damage after splicing, which greatly solves the overall scrapping of the module due to the chip failure, greatly saves the cost. When one of the chips is abnormal, it only needs to be replaced, so that the overall scrapping of the module due to the chip failure is solved, and the operator can perform manual operation, which is free from the dependence on the equipment, and the splicing method is simple and has strong operability.
[0015] On the basis of the above technical solution, the present application can be further improved as follows.
[0016] Further, in step S1, the distance measuring instrument includes a distance measuring microscope, and the precision error is less than or equal to 10 microns.
[0017] The beneficial effects of the above further scheme are that the distance measuring microscope is used, the distance error between the two chips is further reduced, and the splicing precision and splicing efficiency are improved.
[0018] Further, in step S2, the adhesive includes an anti-static adhesive tape, and the tensile strength of the anti-static adhesive tape is >40N / 10mm, and the peeling force is >5N.
[0019] The beneficial effects of the above further scheme are that the anti-static adhesive tape is used, which not only prevents the static electricity from damaging the chip, but also facilitates the fixation of the chip, prevents the displacement, and is beneficial to the subsequent removal.
[0020] Further, after step S2, it further includes measuring the splicing gap between the two chips again to ensure that the splicing gap does not change in the adhesive fixation.
[0021] The beneficial effect of the further solution is that the gap between the two chips is measured again, avoiding the movement of the chips when using the adhesive, which causes the gap to change.
[0022] Further, in step S5, the backing plate is made of one or more of alumina, silicon carbide, aluminum nitride or glass, and has a coefficient of thermal expansion of 10 ppm or less.
[0023] The beneficial effect of the further solution is that the backing plate is made of a material with a small coefficient of thermal expansion, which has a small thermal effect and reduces the gap variation between the chip assemblies.
