Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of semiconductor chip detection equipment, and more particularly to a semiconductor chip splitting auxiliary tool and a splitting method using the tool. Background Art
[0002] Analysis of failed semiconductor chips and wafers typically involves surface and cross-sectional analysis. Compared to surface analysis, cross-sectional analysis typically involves preparing the chip section, which involves chip cleaving. Since the chips being cleaved are typically small in size, current chip cleaving methods typically rely on manual cleavage or automated mechanical cutting.
[0003] The former requires the operator to have a high level of finger feel and rich experience in order to achieve the desired effect on the splinter cross section. Improper operation may cause damage to the splinter cross section, requiring subsequent grinding to compensate. In addition, there is a risk of injury to the operator's body due to debris generated by the splinters.
[0004] The latter requires the purchase of related equipment, such as a chip production splitting machine with Chinese patent application number 202221927500.6, which drives the threaded rod to rotate through a driving motor, and the rotation of the threaded rod drives the moving block to move back and forth. The moving block drives the diamond pen to move back and forth through a hydraulic telescopic rod, and at the same time, the diamond pen is controlled to move up and down by the hydraulic telescopic rod, so that the diamond pen draws cracks on the surface of the chip, and then the electric telescopic rod is controlled to shorten. The shortening of the electric telescopic rod drives the sliding sleeve to move downward, and the downward movement of the sliding sleeve pulls the two positioning plates downward through the connecting rod. At this time, the positioning plate makes the chip evenly stressed. Under the action of the positioning plate, the chip breaks at the crack mark. Its structure is complex, and it is also driven by components such as a driving motor and an electric telescopic rod, which makes its manufacturing cost quite high. Summary of the Invention

[0042] The bottom of the middle body of the scratching pen 50 is formed with a pen tip, and a diamond is fixed at the end of the pen tip, which faces the top surface of the detachable rotating platform 30. The top of the middle body of the scratching pen 50 is fixed with a scratching head, which can be made of epoxy resin, rubber and other materials.
[0043] A transverse protrusion block 7 is formed or fixed on the right side wall of the vertical plate body 31, and a transverse limiting groove 111 and a vertical limiting groove 112 are formed on the left side wall of the right support frame part 11. The transverse protrusion block 7 corresponds to and cooperates with the transverse limiting groove 111 and the vertical limiting groove 112.
[0044] The clamping plate 20 can be made of epoxy resin, glass fiber, wood or other materials to prevent it from damaging the chip surface.
[0045] A method for splitting using the above-mentioned tool comprises the following steps:
[0046] The first step is to determine the chip cracking direction and position under the metallographic microscope, and then use the first adjusting bolt 1 to rotate and clamp the chip between the top surface of the right support frame 11 and the clamping plate 20. The specific process is to place the chip to be cracked on the top surface of the right support frame 11, so that the chip cracking position is directly below the tip of the cracking pen 50, and then rotate the first adjusting bolt 1 on the clamping plate 20 so that the chip is clamped between the top surface of the right support frame 11 and the clamping plate 20 to achieve fixation.
[0047] The second step is to align the top surface of the vertical plate 31 of the detachable rotating platform 30 with the top surface of the right support frame 11 at the same level; by removing the fixing bolts 6, the top surface of the vertical plate 31 is aligned with the top surface of the right support frame 11 at the same level. At this time, the left extension plate 32 is at the rear, and the fixing bolts 6 are tightened to fix the vertical plate 31. At the same time, its transverse protrusions 7 are inserted into the corresponding transverse limiting grooves 111.
[0048] The third step is to loosen the upper locking bolts 3 at the slide rail 13 and the slide member 40 so that the slide member 40 remains in a slidable state; the tip of the scratching pen 50 is facing downward, the tip of the tip is in close contact with the chip's cracking position and generates a certain amount of pressure, and the side locking bolts 5 are tightened to fix the scratching pen 50. The slide member 40 is moved back and forth along the slide rail 13 so that the tip of the scratching pen 50 moves back and forth from one end of the front or rear side wall of the chip along the position where the chip is to be cracked, so that a scratch is formed at the position where the chip is to be cracked;
[0049] Step 4: Remove the fixing bolts 6, disassemble the vertical plate 31 and rotate it 90 degrees so that the left extension plate 32 is at the top, forming a height difference between the top surface of the left extension plate 32 and the top surface of the right support frame 11;
[0050] The specific method is to rotate the fixing bolt 6 to separate the vertical plate 31 from the right support frame portion 11, then rotate it 90 degrees so that the left extension plate portion 32 faces upward, then insert the horizontal protrusion block 7 into the vertical limiting groove 112 (the horizontal protrusion block 7 makes the vertical plate 31 accurately positioned and improves the fixing effect), and then tighten the fixing bolt 6 to fix the vertical plate 31 to the right support frame portion 11. Figure 4 As shown, the top surface of the left extension plate portion 32 is now lower than the top surface of the right support frame portion 11 (the distance from the top surface of the vertical plate body 31 to the central axis of the connecting through hole is greater than the distance from the rear wall surface of the left extension plate portion 32 to the central axis of the connecting through hole, so that after rotating 90 degrees, the top surface of the left extension plate portion 32 is lower than the top surface of the right support frame portion 11);
[0051] Step 5. After selecting the splitting position, fix the slide rail 13 and the sliding member 40 with the upper locking bolt 3; loosen the side locking bolt 5, remove the splitting pen 50 from the adjustment hole 42, rotate it 180 degrees, with the splitting head of the splitting pen 50 facing downward, and then insert it into the adjustment hole 42. Turn the side locking bolt 5 so that the anti-slip sheet is close to the right side wall of the splitting pen 50, so that the splitting pen 50 can move up and down along the adjustment hole 42, but keep it from deviating.
[0052] Step 6: Hold the tip of the scratch pen 50 and apply downward pressure so that the scratch pen 50 can break the slices into pieces along the scratch mark.
[0053] In the seventh step, the fragments and chips fall into the receiving trough 33, and the dust suction structure connected to the receiving trough 33 sucks air to absorb the powder generated by the chipping and other processing, and also absorbs some fragments on the surface of the fragments. The fragments are taken out from the receiving trough 33. When there is still powder on the surface, the fragments are blown away with an ear bulb to obtain a sample that can be observed in cross section.
[0054] The dust collecting device in this embodiment can adopt the existing dust collecting structure, or can adopt the structure as shown in FIG. Figure 1 The structure shown includes a main box body 60, a cover plate is fixed on the top of the main box body 60, a material receiving bucket 61 is placed in the main box body 60, the upper outer wall of the material receiving bucket 61 is pressed against the upper inner wall of the main box body 60, and a sealing ring can be installed between the two to achieve sealing.
[0055] A plurality of buffer springs 62 are fixed to the bottom surface of the bottom plate of the main box body 60, and a horizontal plate 63 is fixed to the top surface of the transverse portion of the frame body 10. A mounting groove is formed in the middle of the top surface of the horizontal plate 63. The bottoms of all buffer springs 62 are inserted into the mounting grooves, and the bottom ends of all buffer springs 62 are fixed to the bottom surface of the mounting grooves. The top ends of the buffer springs 62 are applied to the bottom surface of the bottom plate of the main box body 60. An extension sleeve is formed on the bottom edge of the main box body 60, and the upper part of the horizontal plate 63 and the buffer springs 62 are both inserted into the extension sleeve.
[0056] The upper side wall of the main box body 60 is connected to the air inlet pipe 64, and the top of the material receiving barrel 61 is covered with an upper connecting cover 65. A through groove is formed on the side wall of the upper connecting cover 65, which is connected to the air inlet pipe 64, and the through groove is connected to the material receiving barrel 61. An upwardly extending upper connecting sleeve 66 is formed on the top plate of the upper connecting cover 65, and the upper connecting sleeve 66 is connected to the material receiving barrel 61. An air pump 67 is fixed to the top surface of the cover plate, and the air inlet end of the air pump 67 is inserted into the through hole of the cover plate, and the bottom end of the air pump 67 is clamped in the upper connecting sleeve 66. A sealing ring can be clamped between the bottom end and the inner side wall of the upper connecting sleeve 66 to achieve sealing, and the air outlet end of the air pump 67 is outside the cover body.
[0057] A baffle portion 68 extending downward is formed on the bottom surface of the top plate of the upper connecting cover 65 between the upper connecting sleeve 66 and the through groove.
[0058] When in use, the connector 34 is connected to the air inlet pipe 64 through the connecting air pipe (indicated by a dotted line in the accompanying drawings), and it realizes suction by turning on the switch of the air pump 67 (the air pump 67 is connected to the power supply through an electrical connection line, and can be connected with a socket or an external independent power supply. It is a conventional structure and will not be described in detail here), so as to absorb the fragments and some fragments in the receiving trough 33. The fragments are blocked by the filter plate 35, and the fragments enter the main box body 60 through the mesh of the filter plate 35, and are blocked by the baffle part 68, so that they fall into the receiving bucket 61, and the remaining gas is discharged through the air outlet end of the air pump 67.
[0059] This embodiment has a simple structure, is easy to manufacture, and has a low cost. It is also easy to split and will not hurt people's hands during splitting. It is safe and the generated fragments will be directly absorbed to reduce pollution to the surrounding environment. It has good effects and high efficiency.
