Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of precision ceramic processing, and in particular to a laser processing system and a processing method for a ceramic disk surface structure. Background Art
[0002] Quality control in the semiconductor IC manufacturing process is a crucial link to ensure the yield rate of chip production, which runs through the entire integrated circuit manufacturing process, including front-end inspection, mid-end inspection and back-end measurement. Ceramic components are closely related to the precision of integrated circuit manufacturing processes, especially ceramic vacuum chucks, which are high-precision bearing mechanisms used to fix wafers in the semiconductor wafer inspection and measurement process, and are indispensable core key components in the quality control equipment of integrated circuit manufacturing.
[0003] There are many types of vacuum chucks. According to their materials, they can be divided into three types: aluminum alloy, alumina ceramic, and silicon carbide ceramic. According to their structures, they can be divided into three types: a combination of porous ceramics and a substrate, an integrated structure with a ring groove protrusion (ring chuck), and an integrated structure with a point protrusion (pin chuck). With the development of semiconductor manufacturing processes, the requirements for the accuracy of equipment for wafer inspection and measurement are getting higher and higher, and at the same time, the requirements for the accuracy and stability of the vacuum chuck of the wafer clamping system are also getting higher and higher. Therefore, the integrated structure series of ceramic vacuum chucks (especially silicon carbide ceramic vacuum chucks with point protrusions) have obvious advantages such as high flattening accuracy, strong adsorption force, good stability, small contact area with the wafer, and less back Paticle contamination. They have increasingly occupied the mid-to-high-end vacuum chuck market and gradually become the mainstream choice of the semiconductor wafer measurement / inspection industry.
[0004] Silicon carbide ceramics not only have the excellent mechanical properties of ordinary ceramics, but also have the best oxidation resistance among non-oxide ceramics, and the best high-temperature mechanical properties among current ceramic materials. Therefore, silicon carbide ceramics are increasingly used in pan-semiconductor related equipment, among which the silicon carbide vacuum chuck (Chuck) with thousands of small bumps or numerous concentric grooves on the surface is the most representative.
[0005] Thousands of coplanar circular small bumps or numerous concentric annular coplanar annular protrusions need to be prepared on a Chuck ceramic disk with a diameter of about 300mm. The purpose of designing these small bumps or annular protrusions is to be able to hold up and adsorb the wafer. The overall flatness of the adsorbed 12-inch wafer can reach 0.2μm; according to the shape of the wafer, the plane shape of the chuck can be freely adjusted; in order to improve the responsiveness of adsorption, the structure of the adsorption area or bumps can be specially made to better adsorb warped and deformed wafers. Usually, the diameters of these small circular bumps include about 2mm and 1mm. Now there is a trend towards smaller diameters, such as small circular bumps with a diameter of 0.2~0.4mm, and the target processing height of small circular bumps with a diameter of 0.4mm is about 0.2mm.
[0006] For the processing of such special structures as tiny bumps or annular protrusions on the surface of silicon carbide ceramics, the existing method mainly relies on CNC engraving and milling. However, due to the high hardness and brittleness of silicon carbide ceramics, not only is the efficiency extremely low and difficult to process, resulting in long processing time and high processing cost, but also the consistency of the bump diameter and the goodness of the bottom surface of the bump are very poor. When faced with small circular bumps with a diameter of 0.2~0.4mm, it is also very easy to break the bumps or even knock them off, resulting in uneven bumps on the entire chuck surface, resulting in an extremely low processing yield.
[0007] Another method is to achieve it through sandblasting. During sandblasting, a film corresponding to the size and position of the bump is attached to the surface of the ceramic suction cup, and then the surface of the ceramic suction cup is sandblasted. The sandblasting process removes a certain thickness of the position where the film is not attached, while the surface thickness of the position where the film is attached will not be removed, so a bump is formed at the position where the film is attached. This method has high requirements for the film. It must not only have good toughness, impact resistance and adhesion, but also achieve high flatness and development accuracy during film attachment, exposure and development. When facing small circular bumps with a diameter of 0.2~0.4mm, the adhesion of the film is extremely high. There is a great risk of the film falling off on a small bump in a certain area, causing the small bump to be incomplete during sandblasting, causing the entire chuck to be scrapped. In addition, this method is expensive, cumbersome and extremely inflexible. It is only suitable for the processing of single-specification, large-volume and high-value-added chuck products. In scenarios where the chuck specifications vary, the production and processing efficiency is low and the cost performance is not high. Summary of the invention

[0014] Furthermore, forming the laser spot 2D motion path in step S42 includes: While the laser spot is scanned in the horizontal plane by the movement of the two-dimensional scanning galvanometer, the ceramic disk is driven to move in the horizontal plane by controlling the movement of the carrying platform through the horizontal X-direction linear drive mechanism and / or the horizontal Y-direction linear drive mechanism. The movement of the two-dimensional scanning galvanometer is superimposed on the movement of the ceramic disk to form a 2D motion path of the laser spot relative to the ceramic disk.
[0015] Further, the step S5 includes the following two situations: When the processing pattern size does not exceed the maximum processing range of the two-dimensional scanning galvanometer, the carrier platform does not move, and only controls the movement of the two-dimensional scanning galvanometer to make the laser spot scan along the set 2D motion path of the laser spot, generating the motion trajectory of the two-dimensional scanning galvanometer; When the size of the processed graphics exceeds the maximum processing range of the two-dimensional scanning galvanometer, the carrier platform and the two-dimensional scanning galvanometer move synchronously, and the 2D motion path of the laser spot is the superposition of the motion trajectories of the two-dimensional scanning galvanometer and the carrier platform.

[0024] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions 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. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0025] The laser processing system of the convex point and annular groove structure on the surface of a ceramic disk described in Example 1 of the present invention comprises a laser 3, an optical path reflective lens 5, a beam expander 4, a two-dimensional scanning galvanometer 6, a focusing field lens 7, a positioning camera 2, a carrying platform 1, a horizontal X-direction linear drive mechanism, a horizontal Y-direction linear drive mechanism, a vertical Z-direction linear drive mechanism, a motion controller, and a marble machine. The laser 3 is an infrared nanosecond pulse laser.
[0026] Furthermore, the horizontal X-direction linear drive mechanism and the horizontal Y-direction linear drive mechanism are horizontally arranged and arranged vertically, and are interconnected with the carrying platform, so that the carrying platform can move freely in two-dimensional directions on the horizontal plane. Specifically, the horizontal X-direction linear drive mechanism and the horizontal Y-direction linear drive mechanism can adopt a linear module or a telescopic cylinder or an electric push rod or other driving mechanisms in the prior art that can drive the driven part to perform linear motion. The working end of one of the horizontal X-direction linear drive mechanism and the horizontal Y-direction linear drive mechanism is connected to the carrying platform 1, and the fixed end is connected to the working end of the other, and the fixed end of the other is fixedly arranged. And the driving directions of the horizontal X-direction linear drive mechanism and the horizontal Y-direction linear drive mechanism are both perpendicular to the horizontal direction, namely the X direction and the Y direction, so that the horizontal X-direction linear drive mechanism and the horizontal Y-direction linear drive mechanism can drive the carrying platform 1 to perform two-dimensional movement in the X direction and the Y direction.
[0027] Furthermore, the vertical Z-direction linear drive mechanism, the focusing field lens 7, and the positioning camera 2 are arranged above the carrier platform 1, and the focal positions of the focusing field lens 7 and the positioning camera 2 are at the same height and fixedly connected to the vertical Z-direction linear drive mechanism, so that the laser beam is vertically directed downward toward the object platform, and the positioning camera vertically observes the object platform downward. The focusing field lens and the positioning camera are connected to the working end of the vertical Z-direction linear drive mechanism. Among them, the vertical Z-direction linear drive mechanism can also adopt a driving mechanism in the prior art such as a linear module, a telescopic cylinder, or an electric push rod that can drive the driven part to perform linear motion. In this embodiment, the driving direction is the vertical Z direction.
[0028] A two-dimensional scanning galvanometer 6, an optical path reflecting lens 5, a beam expander 4, and a laser 3 are sequentially arranged behind the focusing field lens to form an optical path for the laser beam to be emitted from the laser to the focusing field lens; the control ends of the horizontal X-direction linear drive mechanism, the horizontal Y-direction linear drive mechanism, the vertical Z-direction linear drive mechanism, the laser, and the two-dimensional scanning galvanometer are connected to a motion controller to realize linkage control of the above components.
[0029] In addition, a marble machine table is used to support and fix the components of the above-mentioned laser processing system and ensure the stability of each moving part.
[0030] The method for processing the surface convex point and annular groove structure of a ceramic disk described in Example 2 of the present invention takes the surface convex point and annular groove structure processing of a silicon carbide vacuum chuck as an example, and specifically comprises the following steps: Step 1: Build the laser processing system according to the structure of the above laser processing system.
[0031] Step 2: Install and position the ceramic disc to be processed: 2.1. The ceramic disk to be processed is fixed on the carrier platform of the laser processing system by adsorption and positioned according to the target; the horizontal X-direction linear drive mechanism and the horizontal Y-direction linear drive mechanism are controlled to move so that the target on the upper surface of the ceramic disk on the carrier platform (such as structural holes, boundary arcs, etc.) is moved to the position directly below the positioning camera; the vertical Z-direction linear drive mechanism is controlled by the motion controller to focus the positioning camera on the upper surface of the ceramic disk, and the image of the target observed by the camera is clear; the Z-direction position height at this time, that is, the height of the positioning camera from the upper surface of the ceramic disk, is also the focusing position height of the laser beam emitted by the focusing field mirror; the horizontal X-direction linear drive mechanism and the horizontal Y-direction linear drive mechanism are controlled by the motion controller to drive the current carrier platform to move in two dimensions on the horizontal plane, so that the position coordinates of the target on the upper surface of the ceramic disk on the carrier platform correspond to the position of the target on the processing drawing; 2.2. Repeat the above step 2.1 to complete the correspondence between at least three targets on the upper surface of the ceramic disk and the target positions and coordinates on the processing drawing, so as to locate and identify the actual position of the ceramic disk to be processed on the carrying platform according to the processing drawing.
[0032] Step 3: Set up the gradient composite processing graphics with multiple layers superimposed: 3.1. According to the processing drawing, import the contour line in the processing drawing into the laser, and define the closed area within the contour line that needs to be laser processed as the processing figure. Among them: when processing convex points, the outermost contour and the convex point contour and the closed area between them are the processing figures; when processing annular grooves, the annular groove contour and the closed area within the annular groove contour are the processing figures.
[0033] 3.2. To realize the controllable taper processing of circular frustum convex points, set multiple layers of processing graphics with a uniform size gradient from small to large. The setting method is: set multiple layers, set a processing graphic for each layer, and the inner contour of the processing graphics of each layer from top to bottom increases from small to large and uniformly. Among them: when processing convex points, the outermost contour of the processing graphics of each layer from top to bottom remains unchanged, and the contour diameter of the convex point gradually increases uniformly.
[0034] Step 4: Set fill lines and contour lines on the processed graphics, and scan the laser spot along the fill lines and contour lines to form a 2D motion path of the laser spot: Two groups of equally spaced fill lines are set in each processing graphic of each layer in turn, and the two groups of fill lines are set along the X direction and the Y direction respectively and cross vertically; the laser spot is scanned along the fill lines and contour lines in the processing graphics of each layer in turn to form a 2D motion path of the laser spot; Furthermore, in order to achieve large-scale processing far beyond the range of the two-dimensional scanning galvanometer, expand the processing format, or improve the processing efficiency, the synchronous linkage of the carrying platform and the two-dimensional scanning galvanometer and the integrated motion control technology are adopted, that is, a synchronous linkage control program of the carrying platform and the two-dimensional scanning galvanometer is set, and the movement of the two-dimensional scanning galvanometer makes the laser spot scan in the horizontal two-dimensional direction. At the same time, the movement of the carrying platform is controlled by the horizontal X-direction linear drive mechanism and the horizontal Y-direction linear drive mechanism to drive the ceramic disk to be processed to move in the horizontal two-dimensional direction. The two movements are superimposed and synthesized to form a synthetic laser spot 2D motion path of the laser spot relative to the ceramic disk to be processed.
[0035] Step 5: Generate the scanning 2D scanning galvanometer motion trajectory and the carrier platform motion trajectory according to the 2D motion path of the laser spot: When the processing graphics format does not exceed the maximum processing range of the two-dimensional scanning galvanometer, the carrier platform does not move, and only the two-dimensional scanning galvanometer moves to make the laser spot scan along the set motion path. The motion trajectory of the two-dimensional scanning galvanometer is the 2D motion path of the laser spot. When the processing pattern exceeds the maximum processing range of the two-dimensional scanning galvanometer, the carrier platform and the two-dimensional scanning galvanometer are synchronously linked, and the motion trajectory of the two-dimensional scanning galvanometer and the motion trajectory of the carrier platform are superimposed to form a synthetic 2D motion path of the laser spot. At this time, the steps for generating the motion trajectory of the two-dimensional scanning galvanometer and the motion trajectory of the carrier platform include: 5.1. First, the processing pattern is proportionally reduced according to the maximum processing range of the two-dimensional scanning galvanometer. The reduced processing pattern is not larger than the maximum processing range of the two-dimensional scanning galvanometer. 5.2. Then, according to the synthesized 2D motion path of the laser spot, the motion trajectory of the two-dimensional scanning galvanometer and the carrying platform is generated according to one of the following rules: When the spacing between the fill lines and contour lines of the reduced processing graphics in the X and Y directions is greater than the motion resolution of the two-dimensional scanning galvanometer, the motion trajectory of the carrier platform is set to be multiple segments of end-to-end slash lines, and the intervals between the slash lines are small, that is, the angles between adjacent slash lines are very small. The carrier platform moves in one direction at a uniform speed along the multiple segments of end-to-end slash lines, so that the motion trajectory of the carrier platform is a plurality of "W"-shaped trajectories formed by multiple segments of end-to-end slash lines connected in sequence. Then, the 2D motion path of the laser spot is synchronously subtracted from the motion trajectory of the carrier platform to generate the motion trajectory of the two-dimensional scanning galvanometer; When the spacing of the fill lines and contour lines of the reduced processing graphics in the X direction is greater than the motion resolution of the two-dimensional scanning galvanometer, and the spacing in the Y direction is not greater than the motion resolution of the two-dimensional scanning galvanometer, the motion trajectory of the carrier platform is set to be a plurality of parallel straight lines along the X direction, and the straight line spacing is the spacing of the fill lines and contour lines of the processing graphics in the Y direction, that is, the carrier platform performs a serpentine uniform motion along the X direction, and then the 2D motion path of the laser spot is synchronously subtracted from the motion trajectory of the carrier platform to generate the motion trajectory of the two-dimensional scanning galvanometer; When the Y-direction spacing of the reduced processing graphics fill lines and contour lines is greater than the two-dimensional scanning galvanometer motion resolution, and the X-direction spacing is not greater than the two-dimensional scanning galvanometer motion resolution, the motion trajectory of the carrier platform is set to be a plurality of parallel straight lines along the Y direction, and the straight line spacing is the X-direction spacing of the processing graphics fill lines and contour lines, that is, the carrier platform performs a serpentine uniform motion along the Y direction, and then the 2D motion path of the laser spot is synchronously subtracted from the motion trajectory of the carrier platform to generate the two-dimensional scanning galvanometer motion trajectory; When the spacing between the fill lines and the outline lines of the reduced processing graphics in the X and Y directions is not greater than the motion resolution of the 2D scanning galvanometer, the 2D scanning galvanometer is set not to move, the focusing field lens is fixed at a single point to emit light, and the 2D motion path of the laser spot is the motion trajectory of the carrier platform; 5.3. Send the 2D motion path of the laser spot and the motion trajectory generation rules of the 2D scanning galvanometer and the carrying platform to the motion controller, control the 2D scanning galvanometer and the carrying platform to move according to their generated motion trajectories, set the laser spot to scan and process along the processing graphics of each layer from small to large, and scan the filling line in the processing graphics in the same layer first, and then scan the contour line of the processing graphics.
[0036] Step 6: Carry out laser etching rough processing: 6.1. Set the laser power to 50~90w, the laser spot synthesis scanning rate to 500~1000mm / s, and the processing pattern filling line spacing to 30~50μm; 6.2. Control the vertical Z-direction linear drive mechanism to focus the laser beam emitted by the focusing field mirror on the upper surface of the ceramic disk, and then the laser emits light. According to the current setting parameters, the two-dimensional scanning galvanometer and the carrying platform are controlled to synchronize and link according to the motion trajectory generated in step 5, so that the laser spot is repeatedly scanned layer by layer in sequence according to the 2D motion path of the laser spot set in steps 3 and 4. A large amount of material is quickly removed by laser, so as to achieve ultra-high efficiency etching rough processing of the surface processing area of the ceramic disk; 6.3. After each processing, use a depth gauge to measure the etching depth. If the etching depth does not reach more than 80% of the target depth, continue to increase the number of processing passes; if the etching depth reaches more than 80% of the target depth, stop the current rough processing step.
[0037] Step 7: Perform laser etching semi-finishing: 7.1. Set the laser power to 20~50w, the laser spot synthesis scanning rate to 200~500mm / s, and the processing pattern filling line spacing to 10~30μm; 7.2. The laser emits light, and according to the current setting parameters, the two-dimensional scanning galvanometer and the carrying platform are controlled to synchronize and link according to the motion trajectory generated in step 5, so that the laser spot is scanned layer by layer repeatedly in sequence according to the 2D motion path of the laser spot set in steps 3 and 4. The laser processing optimizes and weakens the metamorphic layer, recondensation layer and laser spot scanning ablation lines left over from the rough processing, so as to achieve efficient and precise etching and semi-finishing of the surface processing area of the ceramic disk; 7.3. After each pass of processing, use a depth gauge to measure the etching depth. If the difference between the etching depth and the target depth is greater than the single-pass etching depth in step 7.2, continue to increase the number of passes; if the difference between the etching depth and the target depth is not greater than the single-pass etching depth, stop the current semi-finishing step.
[0038] Step 8: Perform laser etching finishing: 8.1. Set the laser power to 1~15w, the laser spot synthesis scanning rate to 50~200mm / s, and the processing pattern filling line spacing to 2~10μm; 8.2. The laser emits light, and according to the current setting parameters, the two-dimensional scanning galvanometer and the carrying platform are controlled to synchronize and link according to the motion trajectory generated in step 5, so that the laser spot is repeatedly scanned layer by layer in sequence according to the 2D motion path of the laser spot set in steps 3 and 4. The laser processing completely eliminates the metamorphic layer and recondensation layer remaining on the surface, further weakens the laser spot scanning ablation texture, greatly reduces the roughness of the laser processing surface, and realizes ultra-high precision etching and finishing of the surface processing area of the ceramic disk; 8.3. After each processing, use a depth gauge to measure the etching depth. If the etching depth does not reach the target depth tolerance range, continue to increase the number of processing passes; if the etching depth reaches the target depth tolerance range, stop the current finishing step.
[0039] Step 9: Polishing and high flatness processing of the raised support parts on the surface of the ceramic disk: The upper surface of the laser-processed ceramic disc is placed face down on the polishing pad of the polishing machine, so that the circular protrusions and the raised supporting parts of the annular protrusions on the upper surface of the ceramic disc directly contact the polishing pad. A peristaltic pump is used to pour polishing liquid containing diamond particles with a particle size of less than 10μm into the contact area between the ceramic disc and the polishing pad. Driven by the machine, the polishing pad rotates along its central axis, and the ceramic disc revolves along the central axis of the polishing pad. The two are squeezed and rubbed under the action of the polishing liquid to achieve polishing and high flatness processing of the raised supporting parts on the surface of the ceramic disc.
[0040] Step 10: Clean and inspect the ceramic plate: 10.1 After polishing, the surface of the ceramic disk is cleaned by air blowing, organic solvent ultrasonic immersion, nitric acid and hydrofluoric acid mixture immersion, pure water ultrasonic immersion, nitric acid and sulfuric acid mixture boiling immersion, pure water ultrasonic immersion, hydrogen peroxide immersion, pure water ultrasonic immersion, and air blowing in sequence to complete the cleaning of the surface of the ceramic disk.
[0041] 10.2 Place the standard wafer on the upper surface of the ceramic plate, start vacuum adsorption, and support the standard wafer with the circular convex point or the annular convex part. Place the ceramic plate and the standard wafer together on the large-aperture plane interferometer to detect the flatness of the standard wafer. If the flatness of the standard wafer meets the index requirements, the ceramic plate is qualified. If the flatness of the standard wafer exceeds the index requirements, the ceramic plate will be returned for rework.
