Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of wafer processing, and specifically to a method for adjusting wafer grinding and polishing processing based on pressure sensing. Background Art
[0002] A wafer refers to a silicon wafer used to fabricate silicon semiconductor circuits. Its raw material is silicon. Before being put into use, the surface of the wafer to be processed needs to be polished according to a preset control strategy to ensure good flatness and smoothness of the wafer after processing, so as to meet the requirements of subsequent processes.
[0003] Conventional methods for adjusting wafer grinding and polishing processing usually first fix the wafer on a grinding table, and then adjust the initial feeding distance of the grinding push rod according to a preset control strategy. After that, the wafer can be ground. During the grinding process, the grinding push rod will gradually move towards the wafer through the preset feeding distance to ensure good contact between the grinding disc and the wafer, thereby ensuring the grinding and polishing effect of the wafer.
[0004] In the prior art, during the grinding process, the grinding push rod gradually moves towards the wafer through the preset feeding distance. However, during the use of the grinding disc, its grinding surface will wear, resulting in a decrease in grinding efficiency. If the feeding of the grinding push rod is always controlled according to the established feeding distance, when the wear of the grinding disc is relatively high, the pressure exerted by the grinding disc on the wafer will gradually decrease, thereby affecting the grinding efficiency and grinding effect.

[0040] Advantages of the present invention:
[0041] (1) By analyzing the state parameter data of the grinding equipment and the wafer in the grinding operation in real time, the present invention can determine the grinding state of the wafer at different time points. When the grinding disc is severely worn, the feeding distance of the grinding push rod can be adjusted in real time according to the grinding state of the wafer at different time points, so as to ensure good contact between the grinding disc and the wafer throughout the grinding process, ensure the grinding efficiency and effect, and by analyzing the state of the wafer after processing, it can be judged whether the grinding disc needs to be replaced, thus avoiding the severely worn grinding disc from increasing the load of the grinding equipment and accelerating the wear and aging of the equipment.
[0042] (2) By combining the state data of the wafer during grinding with the pressure change between the grinding disc and the wafer to be processed and the rotational speed change parameter of the grinding disc, the present invention can calculate the grinding state influence coefficient of the wafer at different time points. This data reflects the grinding state of the wafer at different time points. Therefore, by comparing the grinding state influence coefficient of the wafer at different time points with the preset influence coefficient, it can be judged whether to adjust the feeding distance of the grinding push rod, and the feeding distance of the grinding push rod can be adjusted in time in combination with this data, so as to ensure that the grinding disc applies sufficient pressure to the wafer and improve the grinding efficiency and effect.

[0044] (4) By comparing the grinding state influence coefficient of the wafer at the i-th time point from the start of grinding with the preset grinding state influence coefficient threshold By comparing, the grinding quality can be judged by combining the influence of the grinding state at the current time point. When judging the grinding quality, it means that if the feeding of the grinding push rod is still controlled according to the established feeding distance, the grinding efficiency and grinding effect will be greatly reduced.

[0055] S5: When it is determined that the grinding wheel needs to be replaced, give a warning and automatically stop the wafer grinding operation, waiting for the grinding wheel to be replaced;
[0056] Through the above technical solution, this embodiment provides a method for adjusting wafer grinding and polishing based on pressure sensing. First, measure the current initial thickness of the wafer to be processed, determine the target thickness of the wafer to be processed, and bond the wafer to the substrate. Then, adjust the initial feeding distance of the grinding push rod according to the preset control strategy to make the pressure between the grinding wheel and the wafer to be processed reach the size corresponding to the preset control strategy. Subsequently, the grinding operation can be performed at the grinding wheel rotation speed in the preset strategy, and collect and analyze the status parameter data of the grinding equipment and the wafer in real time to determine the grinding status of the wafer at different time points, and adjust the feeding distance of the grinding push rod in real time according to the grinding status of the wafer at different time points; when the wafer is ground to the target thickness, analyze the status of the processed wafer to determine whether the grinding wheel needs to be replaced. If it is determined that the grinding wheel does not need to be replaced, directly complete the wafer grinding operation.

[0057] By setting like this, in this embodiment, by collecting and analyzing the status parameter data of the grinding equipment and the wafer in the grinding operation in real time, the grinding status of the wafer at different time points can be determined. When the grinding wheel is severely worn, the feeding distance of the grinding push rod can be adjusted in real time according to the grinding status of the wafer at different time points, so as to ensure good contact between the grinding wheel and the wafer during the whole grinding process, ensure the grinding efficiency and effect, and by analyzing the status of the processed wafer, it can be judged whether the grinding wheel needs to be replaced, thus avoiding the severely worn grinding wheel from increasing the load of the grinding equipment and accelerating the wear and aging of the equipment.
[0058] Please refer to Figure 2 As shown, the process of adjusting the feeding distance of the grinding push rod in S3 includes:
[0059] S31: First, collect the status data of the wafer during grinding, including the surface temperature, thickness and color depth of the grinding slurry of the wafer during the grinding process;
[0060] S32: Calculate the grinding state influence coefficient of the wafer at different time points by collecting the pressure change between the grinding disc and the wafer to be processed and the rotational speed change of the grinding disc, and combining the data collected in S31;
[0061] S33: Compare the grinding state influence coefficient of the wafer at different time points with a preset influence coefficient, and determine whether to adjust the feeding distance of the grinding push rod according to the comparison result. If the answer is no, no operation is performed. If the answer is yes, go to step S34;
[0062] S34: Adjust the feeding distance of the grinding push rod by combining the grinding state influence coefficient of the wafer at different time points and the driving motor equipment parameters of the grinding push rod;
[0063] Through the above technical solution, this embodiment provides a process for adjusting the feeding distance of the grinding push rod. First, collect the state data of the wafer during grinding, including the surface temperature, thickness, and color depth of the grinding slurry of the wafer during the grinding process. Then, the pressure change between the grinding disc and the wafer to be processed and the rotational speed change of the grinding disc can be collected, and combined with the state data of the wafer during grinding, the grinding state influence coefficient of the wafer at different time points can be calculated. Subsequently, compare the grinding state influence coefficient of the wafer at different time points with a preset influence coefficient, and determine whether to adjust the feeding distance of the grinding push rod according to the comparison result. When it is determined that the feeding distance of the grinding push rod needs to be adjusted, combine the grinding state influence coefficient of the wafer at different time points and the driving motor equipment parameters of the grinding push rod to adjust the feeding distance of the grinding push rod;
[0064] By setting like this, by combining the state data of the wafer during grinding with the pressure change between the grinding disc and the wafer to be processed and the rotational speed change parameters of the grinding disc, the grinding state influence coefficient of the wafer at different time points can be calculated. This data reflects the grinding state of the wafer at different time points. Therefore, by comparing the grinding state influence coefficient of the wafer at different time points with a preset influence coefficient, a judgment can be made on whether to adjust the feeding distance of the grinding push rod, and the feeding distance of the grinding push rod can be adjusted in a timely manner in combination with this data, so as to ensure that the grinding disc applies sufficient pressure to the wafer and improve the grinding efficiency and effect.
[0065] The process of calculating the grinding state influence coefficient of the wafer at different time points in S32 includes:
[0066] Through the formula Calculate the surface temperature discrete coefficient of the wafer from the start of grinding to the i-th time point ;
[0067] Wherein, i is a data acquisition of the wafer at a fixed time interval since the start of grinding, and n is the total number of data acquisitions of the wafer from the start of grinding to the i-th time point. is the surface temperature of the wafer at the i-th time point since the start of grinding. is for all average value, is the proportionality coefficient, which is set by empirical fitting. is the indoor temperature of the wafer at the i-th time point since the start of grinding. is the preset indoor temperature. is the indoor humidity of the wafer at the i-th time point since the start of grinding. is the preset indoor humidity;
[0068] Through the above technical solution, this embodiment provides the coefficient of variation of the surface temperature of the wafer from the start of grinding to the i-th time point , which can be obtained by the formula Obviously, when the surface temperature data at each data acquisition of the wafer at a fixed time interval since the start of grinding differ more, and the indoor temperature is higher and the humidity is lower, then the coefficient of variation of the surface temperature of the wafer from the start of grinding to the i-th time point is larger. On the contrary, when the surface temperature data at each data acquisition of the wafer at a fixed time interval since the start of grinding differ less, and the indoor temperature is lower and the humidity is higher, then the coefficient of variation of the surface temperature of the wafer from the start of grinding to the i-th time point is smaller;
[0069] By eliminating the influence of indoor temperature and humidity, when the surface temperature data at each data acquisition of the wafer at a fixed time interval since the start of grinding differ more, it indicates that the pressure exerted by the grinding disc on the wafer is continuously changing, that is, it represents that the grinding disc has a certain degree of wear. Through this calculation method, it can provide diversified data support for subsequent adjustment of the feed distance of the grinding push rod, thereby improving the accuracy and reliability of the adjustment result, and ensuring that the grinding disc can exert sufficient pressure on the wafer to ensure the grinding effect and efficiency after the adjustment of the grinding push rod is completed.
[0070] The process of calculating the influence coefficient of the grinding state of the wafer at different time points in S32 further includes:
[0071] Obtain the real-time rotational speed data of the grinding disc through real-time monitoring, and establish a real-time change curve of the rotational speed of the grinding disc ;
[0072] Through the formula Calculate the influence coefficient of the grinding state of the wafer at the i-th time point since the start of grinding ;
[0073] Wherein, is the pressure value between the wafer and the polishing pad at the i-th time point since the wafer started polishing, is the preset pressure value, is the polishing thickness of the wafer at the i-th time point since the wafer started polishing, is the preset polishing thickness, is the error influence function, is the color depth of the grinding slurry at the i-th time of grinding of the wafer since the wafer started polishing, is the preset color depth of the grinding slurry, is the standard value of, and the above standard value can be selected and set according to the allowable error in the empirical data, is the definition function. If , then let , otherwise, let , is the time point of the first data acquisition after the wafer started polishing, is the time point of the i-th data acquisition after the wafer started polishing;
[0074] Through the above technical solution, this embodiment provides the polishing state influence coefficient at the i-th time point since the wafer started polishing, which can be obtained by the formula . Among them, the formula can calculate the rotational speed change amount between the time point of the first data acquisition and the time point of the i-th data acquisition after the wafer started polishing. Obviously, when the rotational speed change amount is larger, and the polishing thickness, the color depth of the grinding slurry, and the pressure value between the wafer and the polishing pad at the i-th time point since the wafer started polishing are smaller, then the polishing state influence coefficient at the i-th time point since the wafer started polishing is larger, indicating that the polishing state influence on the wafer at the current time point is greater and the polishing effect is poorer. On the contrary, when the rotational speed change amount is smaller, and the polishing thickness, the color depth of the grinding slurry, and the pressure value between the wafer and the polishing pad at the i-th time point since the wafer started polishing are closer to the preset values, then the polishing state influence coefficient at the i-th time point since the wafer started polishing is smaller, indicating that the polishing state influence on the wafer at the current time point is smaller and the polishing effect is good;
[0075] That is because when the polishing thickness, the color depth of the grinding slurry, and the pressure value between the wafer and the polishing pad at the i-th time point since the wafer started polishing are smaller, it means that at this time point, the fitting effect between the polishing pad and the wafer becomes worse, which will lead to the polishing thickness being less than the preset thickness, and less dust resulting in a lighter color of the grinding slurry, and the pressure value between the wafer and the polishing pad being less than the preset value, that is, it represents that if the feeding distance of the polishing push rod is still controlled according to the established feeding distance at this time, the polishing efficiency and the polishing effect will be greatly reduced, and the feeding distance of the polishing push rod needs to be adjusted;
[0076] Through this calculation method, by combining the state data of the wafer during the grinding operation, the data information of the grinding equipment, and the surface temperature discrete coefficient of the wafer from the start of grinding to the i-th time point and other data, the diversified data improves the accuracy and reliability of the calculation result of the grinding state influence coefficient of the wafer at the i-th time point since the start of grinding, and provides accurate and reliable data support for subsequent adjustment of the feeding distance of the grinding push rod, ensuring the accuracy of the adjustment result of the feeding distance of the grinding push rod.
[0077] The comparison process in S33 includes:
[0078] By comparing the grinding state influence coefficient of the wafer at the i-th time point since the start of grinding with the preset threshold of the grinding state influence coefficient ;
[0079] If , it is determined that the current grinding state has a high influence and the grinding quality is reduced, and the feeding distance of the grinding push rod needs to be adjusted;
[0080] If , it is determined that the current grinding state has a low influence and the grinding quality is high, and the feeding distance of the grinding push rod does not need to be adjusted;
[0081] Through the above technical solution, in this embodiment, by comparing the grinding state influence coefficient of the wafer at the i-th time point since the start of grinding with the preset threshold of the grinding state influence coefficient , through this comparison method, the grinding quality can be judged by combining the high or low influence of the grinding state at the current time point. When it is judged that the grinding quality is low, it means that if the feeding of the grinding push rod is still controlled according to the established feeding distance at this time, the grinding efficiency and grinding effect will be greatly reduced, and the feeding distance of the grinding push rod needs to be adjusted, thereby realizing the dynamic adjustment of the distance of the grinding push rod in real time to ensure the grinding efficiency.
[0082] The process of adjusting the feeding distance of the grinding push rod in S34 includes:
[0083] By the formula calculate the adjusted feeding distance of the grinding push rod at the i-th time point since the start of grinding of the wafer ;
[0084] wherein, is the preset feeding distance of the grinding push rod at the i-th time point, is the voltage value of the driving motor of the grinding push rod at the i-th time point, is all standard value, is the current value of the polishing push rod driving motor at the i-th time point, is the preset current value, is the adjustment coefficient look-up table function, based on the influence of the value range of the numerical values in the empirical data on the feeding distance of the polishing push rod, obtained through testing;
[0085] Through the above technical solution, this embodiment provides the adjusted feeding distance of the polishing push rod at the i-th time point since the start of wafer polishing , through this calculation method, after combining the polishing state influence coefficient at the i-th time point since the start of wafer polishing with the voltage and current data of the polishing push rod driving motor, it can provide diversified data support for the calculation results of the adjusted feeding distance of the polishing push rod at different time points, thereby improving the accuracy of the calculation results, ensuring the real-time adjustment of the feeding distance of the polishing push rod, while improving the accuracy and reliability of the feeding distance adjustment, and ensuring the polishing efficiency and polishing effect.
[0086] The process of determining whether to replace the polishing disc in S4 includes:
[0087] By the formula calculate the quality loss coefficient of the wafer finished product ;
[0088] wherein, is the flatness of the wafer after polishing, is the preset flatness, is the smoothness of the wafer after polishing, is the preset smoothness, is the thickness of the wafer after polishing, is the preset thickness, is the standard value of, is the total polishing duration of the wafer, is the preset polishing duration, m is the total number of data acquisitions from the start to the end of wafer polishing;
[0089] Through the above technical solution, this embodiment provides the quality loss coefficient of the wafer finished product , which can be calculated by the formula Calculated, obviously, the higher the flatness and smoothness of the wafer after grinding, the less the thickness deviates from the preset value, and the shorter the grinding duration and the average feed distance adjusted by the grinding push rod during the grinding operation, the lower the quality loss coefficient of the wafer product, indicating that the quality of the wafer product is high and the wear of the grinding disc is low, and there is no need to replace it. On the contrary, the lower the flatness and smoothness of the wafer after grinding, the more the thickness deviates from the preset value, and the longer the grinding duration and the average feed distance adjusted by the grinding push rod during the grinding operation, the higher the quality loss coefficient of the wafer product, indicating that the quality of the wafer product is low and the wear of the grinding disc is high, and it needs to be replaced.
[0090] The process of determining whether to replace the grinding disc in S4 further includes;
[0091] By taking the wafer grinding state influence coefficient and comparing it with the preset grinding state influence coefficient threshold ;
[0092] If , it is determined that the quality loss coefficient of the wafer product is small, which means that the state and grinding effect of the wafer grinding process are good, and there is no need to replace the grinding disc;
[0093] If , it is determined that the quality loss coefficient of the wafer product is large, which means that the state and grinding effect of the wafer grinding process are poor, and the grinding disc needs to be replaced;
[0094] Through the above technical solution, in this embodiment, by comparing the wafer grinding state influence coefficient with the preset grinding state influence coefficient threshold , through this comparison method, the state and grinding effect of the wafer grinding process can be analyzed and judged according to the size of the quality loss coefficient of the wafer product, and whether to replace the grinding disc can be decided according to the analysis result, so as to avoid the situation that the grinding efficiency is reduced due to excessive wear of the grinding disc and improve the grinding effect of the wafer.
