[0035] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the scheme of the present invention, the technical scheme in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments.

[0037] It should be understood that the various forms of processes shown above can be used to reorder, add or delete steps. For example, the steps described in the present invention can be executed in parallel, sequentially or in different orders, as long as the desired results of the technical solution of the present invention can be achieved, and this document does not limit this.

[0038] Figure 1 is a top view of a semiconductor chip sample to be ground in a positioning grinding system for a semiconductor chip sample cross section provided by an embodiment of the present invention, with reference to Figure 1 , a positioning grinding system for a semiconductor chip sample cross section provided by an embodiment of the present invention is used for grinding a semiconductor chip sample, wherein a target grinding position 2 and a grinding mark 3 are arranged on the surface of the semiconductor chip sample 1 to be ground; the grinding mark 3 comprises a first grinding mark 31 located on a first side of the target grinding position 2 and a second grinding mark 32 located on a second side of the target grinding position 2; the first grinding mark 31 and the second grinding mark 32 both comprise a plurality of rows of marking pattern groups arranged along a first direction X; each row of the marking pattern group comprises at least one marking pattern a, and the number of marking patterns a in two adjacent rows of the marking pattern groups is different, and the first direction X is parallel to the grinding direction; the positioning grinding system comprises: an optical microscope (not shown in the figure) and a grinding assembly (not shown in the figure);

[0039] The optical microscope is used to observe the grinding progress of the semiconductor chip sample 1 to be ground in real time;

[0040] The grinding assembly is used to grind the semiconductor chip sample 1 to be ground according to the mark of the target grinding position 2 and the grinding mark 3 .

[0041] Specifically, in the field of semiconductor manufacturing, the surface of a semiconductor chip needs to achieve an extremely high degree of flatness. By grinding the semiconductor chip, uneven areas such as protrusions and depressions on the chip surface can be effectively removed, making the chip surface flatter and smoother. Therefore, it is necessary to grind the semiconductor chip sample. The embodiment of the present invention creatively sets a target grinding position 2 and a grinding mark 3 on the basis of the original semiconductor chip. The target grinding position 2 refers to the need to grind the cross section of the semiconductor chip sample 1 to be ground to a horizontal line flush with the target grinding position 2. The grinding mark 3 includes a first side of the target grinding position 2 (i.e., Figure 1 The first grinding mark 31 located on the left side of the target grinding position 2 (i.e. Figure 2 The second grinding mark 32 (on the right side of the middle), the first grinding mark 31 includes a plurality of rows of marking pattern groups arranged along the first direction X, each row of marking pattern groups includes at least one marking pattern a, and the number of marking patterns a in the marking pattern groups of two adjacent rows is different, that is, Figure 1In the first grinding mark 31, the number of the first row of mark graphics a is 3, the number of the second row of mark graphics a is 5, and the number of the third row of mark graphics a is 9. There may be more rows of mark graphic groups, and each row of mark graphic groups may have more mark graphics a. The embodiments of the present invention are not exhaustive here; wherein the first direction X is parallel to the grinding direction.

[0042] A positioning grinding system for a semiconductor chip sample cross section provided by an embodiment of the present invention comprises: an optical microscope and a grinding assembly;

[0043] The grinding progress of the semiconductor chip sample 1 to be ground is observed in real time through an optical microscope. When the staff is about to grind to the target grinding position 2, an electron microscope can be used for observation to make the grinding more accurate. The optical microscope and the electron microscope can enable the staff to understand the grinding degree of the semiconductor chip sample 1 to be ground in real time to avoid the problem of insufficient grinding or grinding beyond the target grinding position 2.

[0044] The grinding component may include a wafer grinder, a chemical mechanical grinder, a compound semiconductor material grinder, a double-sided grinder, etc. The embodiment of the present invention does not limit this. As long as the device can accurately grind the semiconductor chip sample 1 to be grinded, it is within the protection scope of the embodiment of the present invention. The grinding component is used to grind the semiconductor chip sample 1 to be grinded according to the target grinding position 2 and the grinding mark 3.

[0045] The positioning grinding system for the cross section of a semiconductor chip sample provided by an embodiment of the present invention sets multiple grinding marks on the surface of the semiconductor chip sample. The grinding marks allow workers to observe while grinding and make real-time adjustments to solve technical problems of over-grinding or under-grinding.

[0046] Figure 2 FIG. 1 is a top view of a semiconductor chip sample to be ground in another semiconductor chip sample cross-section positioning grinding system provided by an embodiment of the present invention, with reference to FIG. Figure 1 or Figure 2 Optionally, along the first direction X, the number of the multiple rows of marking graphics a increases or decreases sequentially.

[0047] For details, please refer to Figure 1 , along the first direction X, the number of marking patterns a in each row increases successively, for example, the number of marking patterns a in the first row is 3, the number of marking patterns a in the second row is 5, and the number of marking patterns a in the third row is 9; or, referring to Figure 2, along the first direction X, the number of marking graphics a in each row decreases successively, for example, the number of marking graphics a in the first row is 9, the number of marking graphics a in the second row is 5, and the number of marking graphics a in the third row is 3; the embodiments of the present invention are not exhaustive, and the advantage of arranging multiple rows of marking graphics in an "equilateral triangle" or "inverted triangle" as a whole is that it can remind the staff step by step that the positioning target grinding position 2 is gradually approaching, and the marking graphics a in the last row enable the cross-section grinding to stop accurately at the target grinding position 2.

[0048] Figure 3 FIG. 1 is a top view of a semiconductor chip sample to be ground in another semiconductor chip sample cross-section positioning grinding system provided by an embodiment of the present invention, with reference to FIG. Figure 3 Optionally, the side length or diameter of the marking graphic a ranges from 1 μm to 100 μm.

[0049] Specifically, if the size of the marking pattern a is too large, it is beneficial for optical microscope observation and alignment, but it is not conducive to controlling the precision of grinding to the target. For example, when the target size is less than 0.5 μm, the target is basically invisible to the optical microscope. When establishing the marking pattern a on the plane, the bottom edge or top edge of the marking pattern a needs to be aligned with the target position, and the bottom edges of the marking patterns a on both sides are kept in a straight line (such as Figure 3 As shown), this method can be produced by a focused ion beam (FIB) marking method and observed by a scanning electron microscope (SEM). When the size of a single mark pattern a is 100μm, the grinder needs a resolution of 1 / 200 of the size of the mark pattern a to determine whether the target has been ground in place, which is still difficult. If the size of a single mark pattern a is 5μm, the grinder only needs a resolution of 1 / 10 of the size of the mark pattern a to determine whether the target has been ground in place, which will make grinding positioning much easier. However, if the size of a single mark pattern a is too small, it will be difficult to find the mark pattern a under an optical microscope, so it is necessary to balance the size of the mark pattern a.

[0050] Continue to refer Figure 1 and Figure 3 Optionally, the multiple mark graphics a on the side close to the target grinding position 2 in the first grinding mark 31 and the multiple mark graphics a on the side close to the target grinding position 2 in the second grinding mark 32 are both on the extension line of the target grinding position 2 along the second direction Y; wherein the second direction Y is perpendicular to the first direction X.

[0051] Specifically, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3In the first grinding mark 31, in the first direction X, a plurality of marking patterns a (i.e. Figure 1 The bottom row of multiple marking patterns a in the first grinding mark 31 is located on the extension line of the target grinding position 2 along the second direction Y; in the second grinding mark 32, multiple marking patterns a (i.e. Figure 1 The bottom row of multiple marking graphics a) in the first grinding mark 32 is also located on the extension line of the target grinding position 2 along the second direction Y. This arrangement can ensure that the staff can accurately grind to the target grinding position 2 of the semiconductor chip sample 1 to be ground.

[0052] Optional, reference Figure 1-Figure 3 , the size and shape of the marker figure a are the same.

[0053] Specifically, the sizes and shapes of the plurality of marking patterns a located in the first grinding mark 31 and the second grinding mark 32 are the same so that the staff can better observe the grinding progress of the semiconductor chip sample 1 to be ground.

[0054] Figure 4 is a top view of a semiconductor chip sample to be ground in another semiconductor chip sample cross-section positioning grinding system provided by an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 5 FIG. 1 is a top view of a semiconductor chip sample to be ground in another semiconductor chip sample cross-section positioning grinding system provided by an embodiment of the present invention, with reference to FIG. Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 Optionally, the marking graphic a includes at least one of the following: a rectangle, a trapezoid and a circle.

[0055] Specifically, in the positioning and grinding system for the cross section of a semiconductor chip sample provided by the embodiment of the present invention, the marking pattern a of the semiconductor chip sample 1 to be ground can be one of a rectangle, a trapezoid and a circle.

[0056] Optionally, the grinding mark 3 is generated by processing on the surface of the semiconductor chip sample 1 to be ground by using a focused ion beam.

[0057] Specifically, the focused ion beam is a microdissection instrument that uses an electric lens to focus an ion beam into a very small size, and generates a plurality of marking patterns a on the surface of the semiconductor chip sample 1 to be ground by the focused ion beam.

[0058] Optionally, the positioning grinding system further includes a laser;

[0059] The laser is used to mark the target grinding position 2.

[0060] Specifically, the semiconductor chip sample cross-section positioning grinding system provided in an embodiment of the present invention also includes a laser, which is used to mark the target grinding position 2 on the surface of the semiconductor chip sample 1 to be ground, so that the staff can clearly and accurately observe the target grinding position 2 in the field of view of the optical microscope.

[0061] Figure 6 FIG. 1 is a top view of a semiconductor chip sample to be ground in another semiconductor chip sample cross-section positioning grinding system provided by an embodiment of the present invention, with reference to FIG. Figure 6 Optionally, along the second direction Y, a minimum distance L between the first grinding mark 31 and the second grinding mark 32 is greater than 100 μm, and the second direction X is perpendicular to the first direction Y.

[0062] Figure 7 FIG. 1 is a top view of a semiconductor chip sample to be ground in another semiconductor chip sample cross-section positioning grinding system provided by an embodiment of the present invention, with reference to FIG. Figure 7 Specifically, in the positioning grinding system for the cross-section of a semiconductor chip sample provided in an embodiment of the present invention, the minimum distance L between the first grinding mark 31 and the second grinding mark 32 in the semiconductor chip sample 1 to be ground is greater than 100 μm, corresponding to a maximum tilt angle α of approximately 5.7 degrees. The estimated minimum resolution angle is one-third of it, that is, 1.5 degrees, which is much more accurate than grinding the sample without any reference. Therefore, the angle resolution of the tilt depends on the single mark pattern a and the distance between the first grinding mark 31 and the second grinding mark 32.

[0063] Figure 8 is a top view of a semiconductor chip sample to be ground before being ground provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 9 is a side view of a semiconductor chip sample to be ground after grinding provided by an embodiment of the present invention, with reference to Figure 8 and Fig. 9 The positioning grinding system for the semiconductor chip sample cross section provided by the embodiment of the present invention can achieve the following beneficial effects:

[0064] 1. Before the cross-section positioning grinding, add the marking pattern positioning method, use multiple rows of marking patterns to accurately locate the grinding depth and angle, so that the grinding personnel can quickly and accurately grind to the specified position, especially the positioning grinding of advanced chip processes.

[0065] 2. The marking patterns are divided into multiple rows with progressive numbers, which can align the grinding angle and depth so that the target grinding position can be accurately located using the relative position of the marking patterns.

[0066] 3. According to the size of the designated position, the size of the marked graphic, and the spacing between the same icons on both sides of the target area, the target grinding position can be accurately identified.
