Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the field of bonding processing equipment, and particularly relates to a hybrid bonding device based on visual alignment and a hybrid bonding method. BACKGROUND
[0002] The hybrid bonding technology is a new type of semiconductor packaging technology, which can integrate homogeneous and heterogeneous materials and realize vertical stacking to improve the performance of chips. Compared with the traditional thermal compression bonding technology, the hybrid bonding technology can realize higher density interconnection without solder bumps and reduce chip power consumption.
[0003] Generally, the hybrid bonding process can be divided into three process stages of surface treatment, alignment bonding and post-treatment. Among them, the surface treatment process is to clean and activate the surfaces of chips and wafers by plasma or acid-base to enhance adhesion. The alignment bonding is to bond directly through van der Waals force, molecular and atomic force under the action of a certain pressure after the high-precision alignment of the chip and the wafer is completed to ensure one-to-one correspondence of the pads. The post-treatment process is to strengthen the bonding by annealing, and the annealing temperature is usually 200-300℃. In the whole process, the alignment accuracy is a key indicator affecting the electrical connection and reliability of the chip. Once the alignment accuracy is problematic, it will greatly affect the yield and cause huge losses. Therefore, how to accurately and effectively realize the alignment operation in the bonding process has become the focus of researchers and the first problem to be solved when improving the hybrid bonding processing efficiency and yield.

[0062] Embodiments:
[0063] Referring to Figures 1-5 The hybrid bonding device based on visual alignment in the preferred embodiment of the present application comprises a bonding assembly 1, a first visual assembly 4, an optical calibration assembly 5, a second visual assembly 6 and a carrier table 10.
[0064] The bonding assembly 1 is used for picking up the chip to be bonded 7 and performing the bonding process; and the carrier table 10 is used for carrying the target chip 8, specifically, for carrying a wafer 9 carrying a plurality of target chips 8.
[0065] Meanwhile, the optical calibration assembly 5 in the preferred embodiment is arranged on one side of the bonding assembly 1, and is used for cooperating with the first visual assembly 4 and the second visual assembly 6 to complete the visual alignment between the first mark point 701 on the chip to be bonded 7 and the second mark point 801 on the target chip 8, so as to ensure the accurate alignment between the chip to be bonded 7 and the target chip 8 in the subsequent hybrid bonding process of the bonding assembly 1, and avoid the existence of defective products due to the alignment error.
[0066] More specifically, the first visual assembly 4 in the preferred embodiment is arranged on one side of the bonding assembly 1, and the detection light output from the lens of the first visual assembly 4 is two parallel lights emitted downward, i.e., the negative direction of the Z axis as shown in Figure 1 .
[0067] Correspondingly, the second visual assembly 6 is arranged on one side of the carrier table 10 along the first direction, i.e., one side of the X axis direction as shown in Figure 1 , and the third detection light output from the lens of the second visual assembly 6 is upward, i.e., the positive direction of the Z axis as shown in Figure 1 .
[0068] Further, the optical calibration assembly 5 in the preferred embodiment comprises a black film layer 501 and a light transmission layer 502 arranged in the X axis direction, and a calibration point 503 is arranged at the bottom of the light transmission layer 502, so as to realize the visual alignment between the optical calibration assembly 5 and the two visual assemblies through the imaging of the calibration point 503 in the first visual assembly 4 and the second visual assembly 6.
[0069] In order to accurately realize the visual alignment process and the hybrid bonding process, the preferred embodiment is further provided with a first displacement mechanism 2 and a second displacement mechanism 3. Among them, the first displacement mechanism 2 is an X-axis direction displacement mechanism, which includes a horizontal displacement assembly for driving the bonding assembly 1 and the first visual assembly 4 to simultaneously perform horizontal displacement in the first direction, realizing the respective alignment of the bonding assembly 1 and the second visual assembly 6, the carrier table 10. At the same time, the second displacement mechanism is provided corresponding to the bonding assembly 1, including a vertical lifting assembly and a plane adjusting assembly, for driving the bonding assembly 1 to lift and adjust the XYθ plane relative to the first visual assembly 4, so as to ensure that the to-be-bonded chip 7 is accurately aligned with the target chip 8.
[0070] In actual setting, the bottom surface of the to-be-bonded chip 7 taken by the bonding assembly 1 and the top surface of the target chip 8 are respectively provided with mark points, i.e. the first mark point 701 and the second mark point 801. Then the position coordinates of the calibration point 503 and the first mark point 701 are obtained by the second visual assembly 6, and the position coordinates of the calibration point 503 and the second mark point 801 are obtained by the first visual assembly 4. By taking the position of the calibration point 503 as the conversion reference, the positions of the first mark point 701 and the second mark point 801 in the same three-dimensional coordinate system are converted, and finally the compensation position information between the first mark point 701 and the second mark point 801 is obtained, and the position of the to-be-bonded chip 7 is adjusted to be aligned with the corresponding target chip 8 before hybrid bonding.
[0071] Specifically, the bonding assembly 1 in the preferred embodiment includes a bonding head 101, the top of which is connected with the output shaft of a pressure motor 103, and a pressure sensor 102 is arranged corresponding to the connection of the two, so that the pressure of the bonding head 101 during the bonding operation can be accurately obtained through the detection of the pressure sensor 102.
[0072] More specifically, in order to accurately realize the taking of the to-be-bonded chip 7, the bonding head 101 is preferably arranged in the form of a suction disc with negative pressure adsorption capacity, and a plurality of adsorption holes are arranged on the bottom surface thereof at intervals.
[0073] Further, the first displacement mechanism 2 in the preferred embodiment includes a translation guide rail 202 arranged along the first direction, and a translation motor 201 and a fixed plate 203 are arranged corresponding to the translation guide rail 202. Among them, the translation motor 201 is assembled and connected with the translation guide rail 202, and can perform reciprocating displacement in the first direction relative to the translation guide rail 202 during work. At the same time, the fixed plate 203 is fixedly connected relative to the translation motor 201, and can follow the synchronous displacement of the translation motor 201 when the translation motor 201 performs translation.
[0074] Accordingly, in the preferred embodiment, the first visual component 4 is mounted on the fixed plate 203 , and the bonding component 1 is disposed on the fixed plate 203 via the second displacement mechanism 3 .
[0075] The second displacement mechanism 3 in the preferred embodiment includes a lifting guide rail 302 extending vertically and a lifting motor 301 assembled on the lifting guide rail 302. The vertical displacement of the bonding head 101 can be accurately achieved through the drive of the lifting motor 301 and the guidance of the lifting guide rail 302.
[0076] At the same time, the second displacement mechanism 3 also includes a plane adjustment component (not shown in the figure) arranged corresponding to the bonding component 1 and the first visual component 4, which is used to realize the first direction displacement of the bonding component 1 relative to the first visual component 4.
[0077] For example, in actual settings, the aforementioned plane adjustment component is preferably arranged between the lifting motor 301 and the pressure motor 103, and is further preferably an XYθ displacement adjustment module, which can perform displacement adjustment within the XY axis plane and θ angle adjustment around the plane Z axis as shown in the figure, thereby completing the application of compensation position information.
[0078] Through the combined arrangement of the first displacement mechanism 2 and the second displacement mechanism 3, the first visual component 4 can be synchronously displaced following the bonding component 1 during the visual alignment process, ensuring that the relative position between the first visual component 4 and the bonding head 101 can be maintained at a smaller distance, thereby reducing the displacement adjustment amount of the bonding component 1 relative to the first visual component 4 during the visual alignment process and the compensation position adjustment process.
[0079] Furthermore, in the preferred embodiment, the first visual component 4 includes a camera module 401 and a visual alignment light path corresponding thereto. The camera module 401 in the preferred embodiment includes a camera, a lens and a light source, and is capable of emitting detection light into the visual alignment light path. At the same time, a semi-transmissive and semi-reflective mirror 403 and a second reflector 404 are sequentially arranged in the visual alignment light path, and the two lenses are spaced apart in the first direction, so that the detection light emitted by the camera module 401 can obtain a beam of downward first detection light and a beam of transmitted light directed toward the second reflector 404 after passing through the semi-transmissive and semi-reflective mirror 403. After the transmitted light is reflected by the second reflector 404, a second detection light is obtained that is spaced a certain distance from the first detection light and is parallel to the first detection light.
[0080] In actual setting, the interval between the first detection light and the second detection light ( Figure 4 W3 in the figure corresponds to the size of the optical calibration component 5 in the first direction (the X-axis direction in the figure), ensuring that the two detection lights can be simultaneously irradiated onto the optical calibration component 5 under test requirements.
[0081] Meanwhile, it is further preferred in the preferred embodiment that a first mirror 402 is arranged between the camera module 401 and the half-transmissive half-reflective mirror 403, for reflecting the detection light beam from the camera module 401 to the half-transmissive half-reflective mirror 403, so as to facilitate the arrangement of the camera module 401.
[0082] In more detail, the second mirror 404 in the preferred embodiment is arranged at the side of the half-transmissive half-reflective mirror 403 close to the bonding assembly 1, i.e. the second detection light is located between the first detection light and the bonding head 101.
[0083] Further, the optical calibration assembly 5 in the preferred embodiment comprises a black film layer 501 and a light-transmissive layer 502 arranged in a stack in the first direction, and the center distance between the two layers is further preferably equal to the distance between the first detection light and the second detection light.
[0084] Meanwhile, a calibration point 503 is arranged on the bottom surface of the light-transmissive layer 502, so that the corresponding detection light beam (the second detection light in the preferred embodiment) can pass through the light-transmissive layer 502 and complete the shooting imaging of the calibration point 503, and further obtain the position information of the calibration point 503 in the corresponding coordinate system.
[0085] In more detail, the optical calibration assembly 5 in the preferred embodiment is arranged at the side of the bonding head 101 close to the first visual assembly 4, and the bottom of the optical calibration assembly 5 protrudes from the bottom surface of the bonding head 101, and the protruding distance is further preferably equal to the thickness of the chip 7 to be bonded, so that after the bonding head 101 completes the picking of the chip 7 to be bonded, the calibration point 503 and the first mark point 701 are located on the same horizontal plane.
[0086] Based on the above arrangement of the optical calibration assembly 5, it is also convenient for the second visual assembly 6 to quickly and accurately complete the positioning shooting of the calibration point 503 and the first mark point 701 when performing visual positioning.
[0087] For the second visual assembly 6 in the preferred embodiment, it is preferably a camera assembly, comprising a camera, a lens and a light source, and the arrangement form can be further preferably the same as the camera module 401.
[0088] Of course, according to the actual setting needs, the optical calibration assembly 5 can also be preferably arranged in a form that the bottom is flush with the bottom of the bonding head 101, and at this time, the second visual assembly 6 preferably selects a camera assembly with a depth of field range not less than the thickness of the chip 7 to be bonded. For this kind of mode, it is possible to reduce the installation difficulty of the optical calibration assembly 5 to a certain extent, and reduce the influence of the optical calibration assembly 5 on other chips except the target chip 8 during subsequent hybrid bonding.
[0089] Exemplarily, in a more specific preferred embodiment, the optical calibration assembly 5 is movably connected with the sidewall surface of the bonding head 101 through a displacement adjustment mechanism, and the vertical position of the optical calibration assembly 5 relative to the bonding head 101 can be adjusted as needed.
[0090] In actual alignment, after the pick-up of the chip 7 to be bonded is completed, the position of the bonding assembly 1 in the first direction is preferably adjusted to the following position:
[0091] The optical calibration assembly 5 does not block the first detection light reflected by the semi-transmissive semi-reflective mirror 403, and the second detection light output after being reflected by the second mirror 404 is directed to the black film layer 501.
[0092] At the same time, the vertical distance H1 between the chip 7 to be bonded and the target chip 8 is adjusted to be equal to the distance W3 between the semi-transmissive semi-reflective mirror 403 and the second mirror 404. In this way, the optical path of the first detection light for shooting the second mark point 801 and the optical path of the second detection light for shooting the calibration point 503 can be ensured to be equal.
[0093] By setting the optical calibration assembly 5 in a form that the bottom is flush with the chip 7 to be bonded, and setting the distance between the chip 7 to be bonded and the target chip 8 to be equal to the distance between the two detection light beams after being emitted by the first vision assembly 4, the alignment focal points of the detection light beams at the required shooting points are consistent, thereby reducing the visual precision error caused by inconsistent focal points.
[0094] More preferably, in actual setting, the thickness W2 of the optical calibration assembly 5 in the first direction is preferably 0.5-3 times the barrel opening width W1 of the first vision assembly 4.
[0095] Exemplarily, in the preferred embodiment, W1 is 1-10 mm, and W2 is 0.5-30 mm.
[0096] Further preferably, the thickness of the black film layer 501 and the light-transmitting layer 502 in the optical calibration assembly 5 is preferably equal, and the thickness of each is preferably 0.25-15 mm.
[0097] Exemplarily, in actual setting, the length dimension of the optical calibration assembly 5 in the second direction is preferably equal to the size of the bonding head 101 in the second direction, and the two ends of the optical calibration assembly 5 along the second direction are flush with the two end surfaces of the bonding head 101, as shown in FIG. 4. Figure 5 It should be noted that the above-mentioned second direction is a horizontal direction perpendicular to the first direction, i.e., the Y-axis direction as shown in FIG. 4. Figure 1
[0098] In actual operation, a first coordinate system {name1} is established based on the bonding assembly 1 and the first vision assembly 4 in the preferred embodiment, and a second coordinate system {name2} is established based on the second vision assembly 6.
[0099] Based on this, a matrix is set to convert the vector described in the second coordinate system {name2} to the description under the first coordinate system {name1}. In a two-dimensional coordinate system in a plane, The matrix is preferably 3x3.
[0100] The conversion matrix formula is as follows:
[0101]
[0102] In the formula, X and Y describe the origin of the {name2} coordinate system O name2 The position coordinates in the {name1} coordinate system; is defined as the rotation matrix of the {name2} coordinate system relative to the {name1} coordinate system, which is used to represent the rotation angle of the X axis and the Y axis, and describes the attitude of the {name2} coordinate system relative to the {name1} coordinate system; R 11 、 R 12 、 R 21 、 R 22 are unknown quantities, which can be solved by calibrating the vector P 1、 P 2 in the {name1} and {name2} coordinate systems.
[0103] Through the design of the above conversion matrix formula, after the position information of each point is acquired by the two vision assemblies, the conversion of the coordinate positions in the two coordinate systems can be accurately completed, and the compensation position information between the second mark point 801 and the first mark point 701 is accurately acquired, and the visual alignment of the chip to be bonded 7 relative to the target chip 8 is completed.
[0104] For example, if a vector P is known, the description in the second coordinate system {name2} is name2 P At the same time, the conversion matrix is known, then the vector P is described in the first coordinate system {name1}:
[0105] name1 P = name2 P
[0106] For the two visual components, it is possible to accurately complete the acquisition of the position coordinates of the calibration point 503 and the corresponding marking point in the two coordinate systems, and then obtain a vector based on the bright spot in each of the two coordinate systems; in the design based on the aforementioned transformation matrix formula, the position compensation information between the first marking point 701 and the second marking point 801 can be accurately obtained to complete the alignment between the chip to be bonded 7 and the target chip 8.
[0107] After alignment is completed, the bonding head 101 is controlled to press down. When the pressure reaches 1-5N, the vacuum is broken, and the two chips are tightly bonded together to complete the direct bonding process.
[0108] In a preferred embodiment, after the wafer 9 and the target chip 8 are loaded onto the carrier 10, the carrier 10 remains in a fixed position, and the relative position between the second vision component 6 and the carrier 10 remains fixed. However, in actual installation, a displacement mechanism may be preferably provided for the carrier 10 to adjust the position of the carrier 10 and the relative position between the carrier 10 and the second vision component 6 within the entire device.
[0109] In addition, it is also preferred to provide a displacement mechanism for the second visual component 6, which will not be described in detail here.

[0112] When performing process (1), the optical calibration component 5 is preferably calibrated to the following position: the black film layer 501 is aligned with the second detection light emitted by the second reflector 404, and the first detection light emitted by the semi-transmissive semi-reflective mirror 403 passes over the optical calibration component 5 and is emitted downward;
[0113] At the same time, it is preferred to align the bottom of the optical calibration component 5 with the bottom of the chip to be bonded 7 , and calibrate the vertical distance between the calibration point 503 and the target chip 8 to be equal to the spacing between the two detection beams in the first visual component 4 .
[0114] (2) Control the first displacement mechanism 2 to drive the bonding component 1 to move above the second visual component 6, as shown in FIG. Figure 2 As shown in ; At this time, the first visual component 4 follows the synchronous movement of the bonding component 1;

[0116] (4) controlling the first displacement mechanism 2 to work, and driving the first visual component 4 to move above the target chip 8; at this time, the bonding component 1 moves synchronously with the first visual component 4;
[0117] (5) controlling the second displacement mechanism 3 to work, and driving the bonding component 1 to move relative to the first visual component 4, and calibrating the black film layer 501 to the light path of the second mirror 404, and calibrating the second mark point 801 on the target chip 8 to the light path of the semi-transmissive semi-reflective mirror 403, and controlling the first visual component 4 to work, and acquiring the position coordinates of the second mark point 801 in the first coordinate system;
[0118] The above alignment process (5) can be completed in process (1), or can be performed after process (4) is completed, which will not be repeated here.
[0119] (6) controlling the second displacement mechanism 3 to work, and continuing to drive the bonding component 1 to move relative to the first visual component 4 (i.e. moving along the negative direction of the X axis in the second coordinate system), and calibrating the black film layer 501 to the light path of the semi-transmissive semi-reflective mirror 403, and calibrating the calibration point 503 to the light path of the second mirror 404; thereafter, the camera module 401 continues to take pictures, and the position coordinates of the calibration point 503 in the first coordinate system are acquired; Figure 4
[0120] (7) performing coordinate conversion between the second coordinate system and the first coordinate system, and according to the position coordinates of the first mark point 701, the calibration point 503 and the second mark point 801, the compensation position difference between the first mark point 701 and the second mark point 801 is calculated, and the second displacement mechanism 3 is controlled to move according to the compensation position difference, so that the first mark point 701 moves to the top of the second mark point 801, and the alignment between the chip to be bonded 7 and the target chip 8 is completed;
[0121] In the preferred embodiment, the coordinate conversion between the two coordinate systems is completed by the aforementioned conversion matrix formula, which will not be repeated here.
[0122] (8) controlling the pressure motor 103 in the bonding component 1 to work, and pressing the bonding head 101 downward, so that the chip to be bonded 7 and the aligned target chip 8 are tightly attached, until the bonding process is completed.

Correspondingly, two first visual assemblies 4 (i.e. visual assembly 4a and visual assembly 4b in FIG. 1) are arranged in the Y-axis direction of the second displacement mechanism 3, and the second visual assembly 6 is also arranged in two sets in the Y-axis direction. Figure 5
[0124] At this time, in the above process (3), the position coordinates of the two calibration points 503 at the bottom of the light-transmitting layer 502 and the two first mark points 701 at one end of the chip 7 to be bonded close to the optical calibration assembly 5 in the second coordinate system are obtained by the two second visual assemblies 6 respectively.
[0125] Meanwhile, in the above processes (5) and (6), the position coordinates of the two second mark points 801 at one end of the target chip 8 in the X-axis direction and the two calibration points 503 at the bottom of the light-transmitting layer 502 in the first coordinate system are obtained by the two first visual assemblies 4 respectively.
[0126] Thereafter, in the above process (7), based on the plurality of position coordinates obtained in the first coordinate system and the second coordinate system, the compensation position difference between the two first mark points 701 and the two second mark points 801 is calculated, and then the position adjustment of the chip 7 to be bonded is completed according to the compensation position difference, so that the chip 7 to be bonded and the target chip 8 are accurately aligned in the Z-axis direction.
[0127] Finally, the hybrid bonding between the chip 7 to be bonded and the target chip 8 is completed through the lifting movement of the bonding assembly 1 in the Z-axis direction.
