Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of ultrafast laser cold splitting, and in particular to a multi-focus splitting device and method for laser processing brittle materials. Background Art

[0002] As a third-generation wide bandgap material, silicon carbide has excellent thermodynamic and electrochemical properties. In terms of thermodynamics, silicon carbide has good thermal conductivity (3.7W / K.cm) and cannot be melted at normal pressure. Silicon carbide is also one of the hardest substances, with a Mohs hardness of 9.3-9.5. In terms of electrochemistry, silicon carbide not only has a wide bandgap and a high breakdown electric field, but also has strong corrosion resistance and is immune to all currently known corrosion at room temperature. Due to its many advantages, silicon carbide has been rapidly developed in single crystal materials, epitaxial materials, power components and high-power modules. However, as a brittle material, silicon carbide is hard and fragile. Moreover, as the wafer becomes thinner and the diameter increases, the compressive and tensile strength of the wafer becomes weaker and weaker, and it becomes more sensitive to external mechanical forces. These characteristics make cutting silicon carbide a difficult problem.

[0003] Currently, the most established methods for cutting silicon carbide (SiC) are diamond wire or slurry wire sawing. However, both methods involve wire contact, which can lead to a range of issues, such as chipping, delamination, cracking, and heating. Furthermore, diamond wire scribing is slow, costly, and produces wide kerfs, resulting in significant cutting losses of approximately 50%. The surface of the cut disc is deeply damaged, and there are varying degrees of wire marks. Eliminating all these defects requires costly subsequent processes such as grinding, mechanical polishing, and chemical polishing. Furthermore, when microelectronic components are fabricated on SiC wafers, excess material may need to be removed, as 4H-SiC is difficult to etch, leading to further material loss and increased manufacturing costs. Therefore, a new technology is needed for lateral SiC cutting. Laser processing offers many advantages over mechanical methods, including the absence of mechanical stress and contact, enabling high-quality and high-precision machining, making it suitable for machining hard and brittle materials.

[0004] Laser cold cracking is a new type of hard and brittle material processing technology. Ultrafast laser cold cracking uses an ultrafast laser through a series of optical systems to focus the laser on the interior of a brittle transparent material. Based on the multiphoton effect, avalanche ionization effect, and thermal decomposition, a modified layer is formed within the material in a short period of time. The modified layer is mainly composed of silicon and carbon phases. Subsequently, a polymer is attached to the surface of the modified layer, and the temperature is rapidly lowered to form a crack layer within the material, and finally an ultra-thin wafer is obtained. In this process, laser modification of the material is particularly important. Traditional single-focus processing limits the efficiency of material modification. After each modification, the material surface needs to be ground and polished again, which greatly reduces the modification efficiency and limits the advantages of ultrafast laser cold cracking technology. Summary of the Invention

[0015] Optionally, types of the laser include picosecond laser, sub-picosecond laser, femtosecond laser and sub-femtosecond laser, and the beam focusing system includes a single focusing lens, a focusing lens group and a micromachining objective lens.

[0016] Optionally, the filter is circular in shape, has a diameter D, and the filter diameter D satisfies the following relationship:

[0017] D=2(h+d)tan[arcsin(NA)]

[0018] Wherein, NA represents the numerical aperture of the beam focusing system, h represents the distance between the filter and the surface of the brittle material, and d represents the distance between the first focusing point and the surface of the brittle material.

[0019] In addition, in order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present invention also provides a method for laser processing multi-focus splinters of brittle materials, comprising the following method steps:

[0042] See also Figure 1-Figure 3 The present invention discloses a multi-focus splitting device for laser processing brittle materials. The specific contents are as follows:

[0043] The multi-focus splitting device for laser processing brittle materials mainly includes a laser 1, a beam expansion and collimation system 2, a reflector 3, a diffraction element 5, a beam focusing system 6, an illumination system 7, an imaging system 8, an adsorption platform 12 and a driving system.

[0044] Furthermore, the laser 1 mainly includes picosecond lasers, sub-picosecond lasers, femtosecond lasers and sub-femtosecond lasers, which provide light sources for processing brittle materials and can provide sufficiently high peak power.

[0045] Furthermore, the beam expansion and collimation system 2 is located on the output path of the spatial light of the laser 1. The beam expansion and collimation system 2 mainly expands the beam of the laser 1 and then collimates the beam. The area of ​​the beam after expansion and collimation occupies more than 95% of the diffraction element 5 and the focusing lens when entering the diffraction element and the focusing lens.

[0046] Furthermore, the reflector 3 is mainly used to reflect the light beam and perform beam steering, so that the light beam located in the laser beam expansion and collimation system 2 can smoothly enter the diffraction element 5. The reflector 3 mainly includes a 45° reflector, a 0° reflector and TFP, etc. The reflective film of the chip needs to be coated according to the wavelength of the laser 1.

[0047] Furthermore, the diffraction element 5 is divided into first-order diffraction, second-order diffraction, and multi-order diffraction, and the number of focal points is determined by the etching order. For the second-order etched diffraction optical element, due to physical limitations, the power efficiency varies between 75% and 85% for dual and multi-focal points. The spacing between the multiple focal points is controlled by controlling the effective focal length before and after the diffraction element. The center position of the diffraction element 5 coincides with the optical axis 4, and the element needs to be specially customized according to the number of focal points and the spacing between the focal points.

[0048] Furthermore, if Figure 3 The first modified layer 11′, the second modified layer 11″ and the third modified layer 11′″, the beam focusing system 6 includes a single focusing lens, a focusing lens group and a micromachining objective lens. The lenses all use a spherical lens with NA>0.45, so as to achieve a small depth of focus and a small focus. The diameter of the focus is less than 5μm, and brittle materials can be processed in a small range, thereby forming a small damage layer.

[0049] Furthermore, the material of the filter 10 is determined by the wavelength of the laser 1, and a material capable of completely absorbing its wavelength is selected. The shape of the filter 10 is circular. The size of the filter 10 is determined by the beam focusing system 6, and it is capable of completely blocking the corresponding spot area when the first focal point a and the second focal point b are focused. The specific calculation method for the size of the filter 10 is based on the numerical aperture NA of the beam focusing system 6, the distance h from the surface of the brittle material 11, and the distance d from the first focal point a to the surface of the brittle material 11. The diameter of the filter D = 2(h+d)tan[arcsin(NA)]. The oscillation order of the high-frequency oscillator 9 is second-order oscillation, and the oscillation frequency is consistent with the laser frequency finally selected by the laser 1. The oscillation amplitude is the interval between the internal focal points when the beam focusing system 6 focuses.

[0050] The filter 10 is connected to the high-frequency oscillator 9, which can vibrate up and down, so that the bottom focus in the material (that is, the third focus point c) is focused first. After the slide 13 moves a certain distance, the distance moved is the size of the focus after focusing by the focusing system 6, and the middle focus (that is, the second focus point b) is focused again. Finally, after the slide 13 moves a certain distance again, the focus closest to the surface (that is, the first focus point a) is focused again. In this way, the focusing order of the focuses is strictly controlled. The purpose is to avoid the situation where the high-energy laser at the focus closest to the surface has carbonized the material when the three focuses are focused at the same time, and the subsequent laser cannot penetrate the material and smoothly reach the second and third focus points c.

[0051] Furthermore, the illumination system 7 is mainly used to provide illumination for the imaging system 8, and the wavelength is selected to be absorbed by the illumination system 7. The imaging system 8 is mainly used to monitor surface damage during processing and determine the depth of focus.

[0052] Furthermore, the adsorption platform 12 mainly includes a ceramic vacuum adsorption platform, the purpose of which is to adsorb the brittle material 11 on the vacuum adsorption platform to ensure that the material is not easily broken.

[0053] Furthermore, the drive system includes a slide 13 and a controller 14. Because ultrafast laser processing of brittle materials 11 involves ultraprecision machining, and the focal point diameter is less than 5 μm, the drive system requires control accuracy of at least micrometers, or even nanometers. The system primarily includes a slide 13 that translates in the X, Y, and Z directions. X and Y translations control the scanning direction and spacing of the brittle material 11; Z translation controls the depth of the multi-focal point. The controller 14, comprised of both a self-programmed controller and a computer controller, primarily controls movement in the X, Y, and Z directions. The X and Y axes require programmable movement patterns on the self-programming device, which can include circular, elliptical, rectangular, or I-shaped patterns. The Z axis simply requires inputting focus movement values ​​into the controller.

[0054] Furthermore, the brittle material 11 processed by the laser multi-focus process is relatively hard and brittle, and the materials mainly include silicon carbide, gallium nitride, diamond, and materials composed of group IV elements, group III and V, group II and VI elements, etc.

[0055] It should be noted that the multifocal position is a function of the refractive focal length fRefractive and the predetermined diffractive focal length fDiffractive. The "zero" order focal point refers to the refractive index FL of the lens used. The other diffractive focal points, orders ±1, 2, 3, etc., appear symmetrically around the "zero" refractive order. The distances between the focal points are described by the following equations:

[0056]

[0057] Where: f m′Diffractive : The refractive index of the “m” diffraction order, f Refiective : refractive index of the refractive lens; m: order of multifocality.

[0058] In the case of a multifocal diffraction element with an even number of focal points, special design and processing are required to achieve the removal of the zero-order point.

[0059] The diffraction order of the diffraction element is controlled by controlling the etching order of the diffraction element, thereby determining the number of diffraction focal points. In the absence of diffraction, there is only one focal point. In the case of first-order diffraction, the focal points appear symmetrically, with two focal points, plus a focus for the zeroth-order diffraction, for a total of three focal points. To achieve dual focal points, special design and processing are required to remove the zeroth-order diffraction. The same applies to other focal points. The above-mentioned "special design and processing" requires the manufacturer of multi-focal diffraction elements to provide.

[0060] In addition, the present invention also discloses a method for laser processing multi-focus fragments of brittle materials, comprising the following method steps:

[0061] Expand and collimate the laser beam of laser 1;

[0062] Reflect the laser after beam expansion and collimation;

[0063] Diffracting the reflected laser light;

[0064] The diffracted laser light is focused to form multiple focal points in the longitudinal direction of the brittle material.

[0065] Furthermore, the laser processing method for multi-focus splinters of brittle materials further includes the following steps:

[0066] The modified parts are sequentially attached to the surface with polymers and separated by rapid cooling. After all the modified layers are separated, multi-focus processing is performed again.

[0067] like Figure 1 As shown, the laser output by the ultrafast laser 1 has a small laser spot diameter and needs to pass through a beam expansion and collimation system 2, which is located on the optical path of the ultrafast laser output to expand the laser spot by 2 to 3 times. The beam expansion and collimation system 2 is composed of a single lens and a lens combination, and then the beam is steered by a reflector 3, wherein the laser reflector 3 includes a 45° reflector, a 0° reflector and a TFP, etc. The beam after beam expansion and collimation enters the diffraction element 5, passes through the beam focusing system 6, and forms three focal points inside the brittle material 11 according to the etching order of the diffraction element 5, controls the filter 10 connected to the high-frequency oscillator 9 to vibrate up and down, thereby achieving the following Figure 3The bottom focus in the material, that is, the third focus point c, is focused first. After the slide 13 moves a certain distance, the distance moved is the size of the focus, and the middle focus, the second focus point b, is focused again. Finally, after the slide 13 moves a certain distance again, the first focus point a, which is the focus closest to the surface, is focused again. In this way, the focusing sequence of the focuses in the material is realized. The brittle material 11 is adsorbed on the adsorption platform 12, and the adsorption platform 12 is fixed on the slide 13. The slide 13 is controlled by the controller 14, the lighting system 7 is turned on, and the Z axis of the slide 13 is controlled by observing the imaging system 8 to focus the laser on the appropriate position inside the brittle material 11. The appropriate path, spacing and speed of the X and Y axes are programmed in the controller 14 to eventually form a modified layer inside the brittle material 11.

[0068] like Figure 2 As shown, the laser 1 providing energy selects appropriate laser parameters such as laser wavelength, single pulse energy, repetition frequency and pulse width according to the band gap width of the brittle material 11, and focuses the laser of the ultrafast laser 1 inside the brittle material 11 through the diffraction element 5 and the focusing lens 6. Based on the microscopic effects in the material such as multiphoton effect, avalanche ionization and thermal decomposition, the laser is focused to the material damage threshold or above, forming a laser beam inside the material. Figure 3 The three modified layers shown are first modified layer 11', second modified layer 11", and third modified layer 11'". First wafer 111, second wafer 112, and third wafer 113 require polymers to be sequentially attached to their surfaces and then separated by rapid cooling. After separation, multi-focus processing is performed again. 11.1 Materials that can be cold-cracked after laser modification; 11.2 Materials that are not laser modified.

[0069] In one embodiment, semi-insulating 4H silicon carbide is selected, with a size of 4 inches and a thickness of 1 mm. The parameters of the laser 1 are a wavelength of 1064 nm, an output power of 45 W at a repetition rate of 1 MHz, a pulse width of 13 picoseconds, and a repetition rate of 1 Hz to 1 MHz. The repetition rate of the laser is selected to be 100 kHz, the power is 3 W, and the spot size of the laser output is 3 mm. The output laser is incident on the beam expansion and collimation system 2, and the spot is expanded by 3 times. The spot size after the expansion is 9 mm. ; The expanded laser passes through the reflector 3, is deflected, and is incident on the diffraction element 5. The center position of the diffraction element 5 coincides with the optical axis 4. The diffraction element 5 is etched in two levels. The diffraction element forms positive and negative first-order diffraction and zero-order diffraction. It passes through the focusing lens. The focal length of the focusing lens is 5 mm, and the numerical aperture is 0.54. Three focal points will be formed inside the silicon carbide. The size of the focus is calculated to be 2.4 microns according to the diffraction limit formula, and the spacing between the focal points is controlled to be 300 microns according to the refractive index of the diffraction element 2 and the focusing lens. Filter 10 is made of a material that absorbs light at 1064 nanometers. The initial height of filter 10 from the silicon carbide surface is 900 microns, and the distance between the first focal point a and the material surface is 300 microns. The diameter of filter 10 is calculated to be 1.54 mm. The high-frequency oscillator 9 connected to filter 10 is set to an oscillation frequency of 100 kHz, ensuring that at least one light spot passes through filter 10 during each oscillation. The oscillation order is two, and the amplitude is 300 microns. The silicon carbide is placed on a ceramic adsorption platform 12, which is connected to a slide 13. The platform is controlled by the X and Y axes and then scanned in an "I" pattern. The scan line spacing is set to 2.4 microns and the scan speed is set to 240 mm / s. This is done until the entire silicon carbide is scanned. Three modified spots are formed within the silicon carbide. After the scan is complete, polymers are sequentially attached to the surface and separated by rapid cooling, resulting in three perfect wafers. Finally, the surface of the separated sample, i.e., the third modified layer 11″′, is subjected to multi-focus processing again.

[0070] The specific embodiments described above further illustrate the objectives, technical solutions and beneficial effects of the present invention in detail. It should be understood that the above are only specific embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
