Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of semiconductor gluing process, in particular to a LT and LN incoming wafer coating process. BACKGROUND
[0002] The gluing method in the yellow light process is roughly divided into two categories of spin coating and spraying, (generally adopted substrate is silicon base and glass), wherein the principle of spin coating gluing is to rely on centrifugal force to coat the glue from the center to the periphery, so that the whole wafer is fully coated, and the good thickness uniformity of the whole wafer can be achieved. However, in actual product research and development, customers have requirements on the material quality of the final product, such as LT & LN (lithium carbonate & lithium niobate), and through comparison of various measurement data, the solid content of the two materials is different from that of the silicon base, and the surface smoothness, water drop angle and roughness are quite different, which will cause the phenomenon of incomplete coating in the edge zone during the coating process, such as Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the surface of the wafer is not fully coated with glue, which will affect the quality and yield of the product. SUMMARY
[0003] To solve the above technical problems, the present application designs a LT and LN incoming wafer coating process. The surface pretreatment is added before gluing to optimize the gluing effect and solve the surface coating abnormality problem, improve the surface properties, improve the surface cleanliness, and optimize and improve the phenomenon of incomplete coating of the LT and LN incoming wafer surface.
[0004] The present application adopts the following technical scheme:
[0005] A LT and LN incoming wafer coating process, the process steps are:
[0006] S1, the LT and LN incoming wafer is put into the immersion tank card slot of the glue removing machine and soaked with NMP (N-methyl pyrrolidone) for a period of time;
[0007] S2, after the soaking is completed, the LT and LN incoming wafer is transported to the stripping cavity, and the surface of the LT and LN incoming wafer is stripped with NMP in the stripping cavity to remove the surface residues;
[0008] S3, the LT and LN incoming wafer completed step S2 is conveyed to the cleaning cavity, and IPA (isopropyl alcohol) and N2 are used to flush and blow through the nozzle in the cleaning cavity, and after the flushing is completed, DIW (pure water) is used to flush through the nozzle to remove the NMP residue on the surface;
[0009] S4, the LT and LN incoming wafer completed step S3 is spun dry, and the LT and LN incoming wafer is spin coated through the spin coating process to complete the whole LT and LN incoming wafer coating process.
[0010] As preferred, in step S1, the LT and LN incoming wafer is put into the degumming machine for NMP immersion for 3 minutes at 80℃.
[0011] As preferred, in step S1, the immersion is accompanied by up and down swinging of the card slot in the immersion slot to increase the contact rate of the substrate and the liquid.
[0012] As preferred, in step S2, the stripping process in the stripping cavity is carried out by clamping the LT and LN incoming wafer by a mechanical arm and rotating at a fixed speed, while a high-pressure nozzle swings back and forth to wash the surface of the wafer with NMP at high pressure for 120 seconds.
[0013] As preferred, the liquid pressure of the high-pressure nozzle is controlled at 0.3-0.4 MPa.
[0014] As preferred, in step S3, the IPA and N2 flushing and blowing conditions are as follows: IPA flushing pressure 0.05-0.1 MPa, N2 blowing pressure 0.2-0.3 MPa, and flushing time 90 seconds.
[0015] As preferred, in step S3, the DIW flushing conditions are as follows: DIW flushing pressure 0.3-0.3 MPa, and flushing time 90 seconds.
[0016] As preferred, in step S4, the LT and LN incoming wafer is clamped by a mechanical arm and spun at 3000 rpm for 90 seconds.
[0017] The present application has the following advantages: the present application generates a chemical reaction by NMP immersion, changes the properties of the LT and LN surface, improves the cleanliness of the wafer, reduces the water droplet angle, improves the adhesion of the glue during spin coating, and keeps the surface clean and dry through stripping and cleaning, which can solve the problem of incomplete coating of the LT and LN incoming wafer during spin coating, and fully improve the product quality and yield.

[0020] The technical solutions of the present application will be further described in detail below with specific examples and in conjunction with the drawings:
[0021] Example: a LT and LN incoming wafer coating process, the process steps of which are as follows:
[0022] S1, put the LT and LN incoming wafer into the soaking slot of the degumming machine, soak for 3 min at 80℃ with NMP; while soaking, the slot swings up and down in the soaking tank to increase the contact rate of the substrate and the liquid;
[0023] S2, after soaking, the LT and LN incoming wafer is transported to the stripping cavity, and the surface of the LT and LN incoming wafer is stripped with NMP in the stripping cavity; while stripping, the LT and LN incoming wafer is clamped by a mechanical arm and rotated at a fixed speed, and a high-pressure nozzle swings back and forth to wash the surface of the LT and LN incoming wafer with NMP at high pressure for 120 s to remove the surface residues, and the liquid pressure of the high-pressure nozzle is controlled at 0.3-0.4 MPa;
[0024] S3, the LT and LN incoming wafer after step S2 is transported to the cleaning cavity, and IPA (isopropyl alcohol) and N2 are used to flush and blow through the nozzle, and the flushing and blowing conditions of IPA and N2 are as follows: the IPA flushing pressure is 0.05-0.1 MPa, the N2 blowing pressure is 0.2-0.3 MPa, and the flushing time is 90 s; after flushing, DIW (pure water) is used to flush through the nozzle, and the flushing conditions of DIW are as follows: the DIW flushing pressure is 0.3-0.3 MPa, and the flushing time is 90 s; the surface NMP residues are completely removed;
[0025] S4, the LT and LN incoming wafer after step S3 is clamped by a mechanical arm and spun at 3000 rpm for 90 s, and the LT and LN incoming wafer is spin-coated by a spin coating process to complete the entire LT and LN incoming wafer coating process.
[0026] The product after the LT and LN incoming wafer is spin-coated by the process of the present application is shown in FIG. 1, and it can be seen that there is no phenomenon of incomplete coating during spin coating, which fully improves the product quality and yield. Figure 2
[0027] The measurement value of the water drop angle of the LT and LN incoming wafer before and after NMP soaking is detected, and it can be seen that the water drop angle of the LT and LN incoming wafer before soaking is large, and the water drop angle of the LT and LN incoming wafer after soaking is small; reducing the water drop angle improves the adhesion of the glue during spin coating, which solves the phenomenon of incomplete coating of the LT and LN incoming wafer during spin coating, and fully improves the product quality and yield.
[0028] The above-described embodiments are only a preferred scheme of the present application, and do not limit the present application in any form, and other variants and modifications are possible without exceeding the technical scheme recited in the claims.
