Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of bonding processing equipment, and particularly relates to a wafer bonding device based on double-focus imaging and a wafer bonding method. BACKGROUND

[0002] Hybrid bonding technology is a new type of semiconductor packaging technology, which realizes high-strength and high-reliability interlayer bonding through mechanisms such as intermolecular force, metal diffusion, and eutectic welding, can integrate homogeneous or heterogeneous materials, realizes vertical stacking, and provides convenience for the development of three-dimensional integrated circuits (3D-IC).

[0003] Compared with traditional packaging technology, hybrid bonding has no bump, can realize higher density integration, and greatly reduces chip power consumption, and has extremely promising application prospects in many fields.

[0004] 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 chip and wafer surfaces by using plasma or acid-base to enhance adhesion. The alignment bonding is to complete the high-precision alignment of the chip and the wafer, ensure that the pads are one-to-one corresponding, and then directly bond through van der Waals force, intermolecular and interatomic force under the action of a certain pressure. 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 the key indicator affecting the electrical connection and reliability of the chip, and 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 trying to improve the efficiency and yield of hybrid bonding processing.

[0058] Embodiment:

[0059] For the wafer bonding device based on bifocal imaging of the present application, it aims to realize accurate alignment of the chip to be pasted 7 and the target chip 8 before chip bonding, and ensure the accuracy and reliability of chip bonding.

[0060] It should be noted that when the bonding device performs bonding operation, the bonding assembly 1 needs to at least go through two processes of taking (taking the chip to be pasted 7) and displacement (moving the chip to be pasted 7 from the taking position to above the target chip 8), and both processes are completed under precise control.

[0061] That is to say, when the bonding head 101 takes the chip to be pasted 7, the chip to be pasted 7 has a relatively accurate alignment relationship with the bonding head 101 in the bonding assembly 1, and the deviation between the two will not be too large. At the same time, after moving to above the target chip 8, there will be no obvious misalignment between the two chips.

[0062] Briefly, the wafer bonding device in the preferred embodiment is intended to achieve accurate alignment of two chips to be bonded under a certain alignment accuracy, and through the setting of corresponding components, the small errors introduced by the mechanical movement of the device are compensated, so as to ensure sufficient alignment of the two chips before bonding and improve the quality of chip bonding.

[0063] Specifically, the wafer bonding device in the preferred embodiment, as shown in Figures 1-6 , includes a bonding component 1, a first visual component 5, a second visual component 6, and a carrying table 10, and is provided with a first displacement mechanism 3 and a second displacement mechanism 4 corresponding to the movement control of the bonding component 1.

[0064] For example, the first displacement mechanism 3 in the preferred embodiment is an X-axis displacement mechanism, which is used to drive the second displacement mechanism 4 and the bonding component 1 to move horizontally in the first direction (i.e. the X-axis direction in the figure), and through the control of the first displacement mechanism 3, the processes of taking the chip 7 to be bonded, aligning with the second visual component 6, and aligning with the target chip 8 are completed.

[0065] Meanwhile, the second displacement mechanism 4 in the preferred embodiment is a Z-axis displacement mechanism in the figure, which is used to drive the bonding component 1 to move reciprocally in the second direction (i.e. the Z-axis direction in the figure), and through the control of the second displacement mechanism 4, the process of step bonding of the chip 7 to be bonded is completed.

[0066] It should be noted that, regarding the three coordinate systems in Figures 1-6 , the "O" in the coordinate system legend represents that the corresponding coordinate direction is perpendicular to the paper surface inward, for example Figure 1 the Y-axis in Figure 2 , the X-axis in Figure 3 ; and the " " in the legend represents that the corresponding coordinate direction is perpendicular to the paper surface outward, for example the Z-axis in

[0067] .

[0068] More specifically, the bonding component 1 in the preferred embodiment includes a bonding head 101 connected to a plane adjustment module 102, so that the bonding head 101 can be adjusted in the XYθ plane under the driving of the plane adjustment module 102.

[0069] With the setting of the plane adjustment module 102, the adjustment of the plane position of the bonding head 101 after visual detection can be completed, and accurate alignment of the chip 7 to be bonded and the target chip 8 before bonding can be achieved.

[0070] Meanwhile, the displacement control of the corresponding bonding assembly 1 is also combined with the first displacement mechanism 3 and the second displacement mechanism 4. The planar adjustment module 102 of the bonding assembly 1 is connected to the second displacement mechanism 4 and can be reciprocally displaced under the driving of the second displacement mechanism 4 to approach or move away from the carrier table 10.

[0071] In Figure 1 In the preferred embodiment shown, the second displacement mechanism 4 is a lifting displacement mechanism, i.e., a Z-axis displacement mechanism, which can drive the bonding assembly 1 to reciprocally move up and down to approach or move away from the carrier table 10 in the Z-axis direction (vertical direction) and finally complete the pressing bonding process after the alignment of the chip to be bonded 7 and the target chip 8.

[0072] Meanwhile, the first displacement mechanism 3 in the preferred embodiment is a horizontal displacement mechanism, and the second displacement mechanism 4 is assembled on the first displacement mechanism 3. Through the control of the first displacement mechanism 3, the displacement control of the second displacement mechanism 4 and the bonding assembly 1 connected to the second displacement mechanism 4 in the horizontal direction can be realized.

[0073] In Figure 1 In the preferred embodiment shown, the first displacement mechanism 3 is an X-axis displacement mechanism, which can reciprocally displace in the X-axis direction. Meanwhile, the picking station of the chip to be bonded 7 and the carrier table 10 are spaced apart in the X-axis direction in the preferred embodiment, so that the bonding assembly 1 can switch between the picking station and the bonding station through horizontal displacement.

[0074] Exemplarily, both displacement mechanisms in the preferred embodiment preferably include a guide rail and a motor assembled on the respective guide rail, and the reciprocating displacement in the corresponding direction is realized by the control of the motor and the guidance of the guide rail.

[0075] For example, the first displacement mechanism 3 includes a translation guide rail 301 and a translation motor 302, and the second displacement mechanism 4 includes a lifting guide rail 401 and a lifting motor 402. The lifting guide rail 401 is preferably connected to the translation motor 302, so that the lifting guide rail 401 can reciprocally displace horizontally following the translation motor 302. Correspondingly, the planar adjustment module 102 is connected to the lifting motor 402 and can reciprocally displace vertically following the lifting motor 402.

[0076] Further, the alignment of the chip to be bonded 7 and the target chip 8 before bonding on the corresponding bonding head 101 is also combined with the first vision assembly 5 and the second vision assembly 6, and the position detection of the chip to be bonded 7 and the target chip 8 is accurately realized by the use of the two vision assemblies, and finally the accurate alignment before the bonding of the two chips is completed.

[0077] In actual settings, the setting structures of the two visual components in the preferred embodiment are preferably equal, and the shooting directions of the two visual components are opposite, the detection direction of the first visual component 5 is downward, and is used for position detection of the target chip 8. Correspondingly, the detection direction of the second visual component 6 is upward, and is used for position detection of the chip 7 to be attached.

[0078] In order to ensure that the position detection of the two chips has the same reference and target, a calibration plate 2 is preferably arranged on one side of the bonding head 101, the calibration plate 2 is made of transparent material, and a calibration Mark that can be focused and shot by the two visual components is arranged on the top surface or the bottom surface thereof.

[0079] Exemplarily, the calibration plate 2 in the preferred embodiment is transparent glass or glass with an anti-reflection film plated on the surface.

[0080] In the preferred embodiment, the calibration Mark is arranged on the bottom surface of the calibration plate 2, and subsequent further elaboration is made by taking this as an example. Of course, if the calibration Mark is arranged on the top surface of the calibration plate 2, the setting form of the two visual components can be adjusted correspondingly, which is not described herein.

[0081] Meanwhile, corresponding focus Marks are arranged on the end surfaces of the two chips facing each other, that is, a first detection Mark arranged on the bottom surface of the chip 7 to be attached and a second detection Mark arranged on the top surface of the target chip 8. By acquiring the relative positions of the at least two sets of detection Marks, the relative positions of the two chips can be correspondingly acquired, and accurate position compensation information can be provided for the adjustment action of the plane adjustment module 102, so as to drive the chip 7 to be attached to complete the corresponding position adjustment.

[0082] In combination with the foregoing description, it can be understood that after the material taking and displacement control of the chip 7 to be attached are actually completed, a certain alignment relationship is met between the chip 7 to be attached and the target chip 8, and after the alignment detection of the two chips is completed, only a small-amplitude in-plane XYθ adjustment is needed, and the complete alignment between the two chips can be realized.

[0083] Further, the first visual component 5 of the preferred embodiment is arranged on the side of the bonding assembly 1 where the calibration plate 2 is arranged, the field of view of the light outlet thereof is downward, and a pair of parallel detection light paths (that is, the light path A and the light path B in Figure 2 The focusing optical paths of the two detection light paths are equal.

[0084] Meanwhile, the optical paths of the two detection light paths inside the first visual component 5 have a certain optical path difference, and the two detection light paths are respectively a first light path and a second light path, the optical path of the first light path inside the visual component is smaller than that of the second light path, and the optical path difference of the two light paths is W1.

[0085] In more detail, the optical path difference W1 of the first light path and the second light path is equal to the interval of the calibration Mark on the calibration plate 2 and the second detection Mark on the target chip 8 in the axial direction of the outgoing light path, i.e. the interval of the calibration Mark and the second detection Mark in the Z-axis direction. Figure 1

[0086] In this way, the two detection light paths with the optical path difference in the first visual assembly 5 can be respectively focused and imaged at the calibration Mark and the second detection Mark.

[0087] Obviously, after being emitted from the light outlet of the first visual assembly 5, the optical path of the second light path (the dashed line on the left in Figure 5 ) is shorter than the optical path of the first light path (the dashed line on the right in Figure 5 ), and the optical path difference is just equal to the optical path difference of the second light path in the visual assembly from the first light path, i.e. W1.

[0088] In actual settings, the two detection light paths with the optical path difference are obtained by the two mirrors arranged in a staggered manner in the visual assembly, such as the first mirror 5051 and the second mirror 5052 in Figure 2 . The two mirrors are arranged at the light outlet of the visual assembly, and the reflecting surfaces thereof are arranged at an acute angle with the axis of the light outlet for reflecting and outputting the detection light path from the camera module. At the same time, the two mirrors are arranged side by side in the interval direction of the two detection light paths, i.e. the reflecting parts of the two mirrors are in the same plane as the two detection light paths. Moreover, in the direction of the detection light path, the position of the first mirror 5051 is more forward than the position of the second mirror 5052, so that the first mirror 5051 reflects the first light path earlier than the second mirror 5052, resulting in the optical path difference of the two detection light paths in the visual assembly. In more detail, the interval of the two mirrors in the direction of the detection light path is just W1.

[0089] In this way, the first mirror 5051 will be shorter than the second mirror 5052 in one of the two parallel light paths, i.e. the optical path of the detection light path reflected from the first mirror 5051 in the visual assembly is shorter than the optical path of the detection light path reflected from the second mirror 5052.

[0090] For example, in the preferred embodiment as shown in Figure 2 , Figure 3 , the detection light paths towards the two mirrors extend along the Y-axis, and the first mirror 5051 protrudes the second mirror 5052 in the Y-axis direction by a distance just equal to W1, so that the originally parallel two detection light beams are reflected by the two mirrors in sequence.

[0091] ​Further, the two mirrors are arranged in a staggered manner in the displacement direction of the first displacement mechanism 3, so that the two detection light paths output after being reflected by the two mirrors are arranged in a staggered manner in the displacement direction of the first displacement mechanism 3.

[0092] It can be understood that the two detection light paths output after being reflected by the two mirrors are spaced apart in the Y-axis direction and the X-axis direction.

[0093] More preferably, in actual arrangement, the two detection light paths of the camera mirror can directly come from the camera module, or come from a synchronous mirror group arranged corresponding to the camera module.

[0094] For example, in the preferred embodiment shown in FIGS. 5A and 5B, the camera module and the mirror group 505 are arranged in a staggered manner in space. The camera module includes a camera 501 and a lens 502, and at least one mirror is arranged corresponding to the two detection light paths emitted from the lens 502, for example, a first mirror 503 and a second mirror 504 in FIG. 5B, the former is used to convert the vertical light path emitted by the camera module into a horizontal light path, and the latter is used to realize the angle conversion of the horizontal light path in the plane. Figure 2 Figure 3 Figure 3

[0095] It can be understood that in the above embodiment, the camera module can also be arranged corresponding to the position of the first mirror 503, and emit two synchronous detection light paths to the second mirror 504, at this time, the number of mirrors arranged is one.

[0096] In addition, in the above embodiment, if the camera module is arranged at the position of the second mirror 504, at this time, no mirror is arranged, and the two parallel detection light paths emitted synchronously are directly reflected by the mirror group 505.

[0097] More specifically, the second mirror 5052 in the preferred embodiment is arranged on the side of the first mirror 5051 away from the bonding assembly 1, and when the two chips are aligned with each other, the axis of the first light path of the first mirror 5051 passes through the second detection Mark on the target chip 8, and the axis of the second light path of the second mirror 5052 passes through the calibration Mark on the calibration plate 2.

[0098] In a preferred embodiment, the setting position of the first visual assembly 5 can be relatively fixed, and the alignment of different target chips 8 on the wafer 9 with the first visual assembly 5 is realized by controlling the displacement of the wafer 9 on the carrying table 10, so as to ensure that the axis of the first light path always passes through the second detection Mark. At this time, the bonding assembly 1 is driven by the two displacement mechanisms to realize the displacement movement relative to the first visual assembly 5.

[0099] ​​​In another preferred embodiment, the first visual assembly 5 is preferably arranged on the displacement mechanism and can be displaced relative to the carrier table 10.

[0100] More preferably, the first visual assembly 5 is preferably arranged on the first displacement mechanism 3, for example, fixedly connected with the translation motor 302, and in this case, the first visual assembly 5 can be synchronously horizontally displaced with the second displacement mechanism 4 and the bonding assembly 1 connected to the second displacement mechanism 4. Correspondingly, the relative displacement between the bonding assembly 1 and the first visual assembly 5 can be realized by the planar adjustment module 102 or a displacement mechanism additionally arranged on the bonding assembly 1.

[0101] Illustratively, in a specific preferred embodiment, the first displacement mechanism 3 includes a fixed plate fixedly connected with the translation motor 302 and can follow the translation motor 302 to reciprocally translate. Correspondingly, the second displacement mechanism 4 and the first visual assembly 5 are preferably arranged on the fixed plate, and the displacement of the fixed plate drives the first visual assembly 5 and the bonding assembly 1 to synchronously displace relative to the carrier table 10. In this case, the relative displacement between the first visual assembly 5 and the bonding head 101 can be realized according to the control of the planar adjustment module 102.

[0102] More specifically, in another specific preferred embodiment, the function of the planar adjustment module 102 is focused on adjusting the compensation position information and not performing large-scale translation adjustment. In this case, the first visual assembly 5 or the lifting guide rail 401 is preferably arranged on the fixed plate through a translation assembly, and the relative position adjustment between the first visual assembly 5 and the second displacement mechanism 4 in the first direction can be realized through the control of the translation assembly. In this way, the control process of the bonding head 101 moving away from or shielding the first light path can be more conveniently realized, for example, the switching process of the state shown in Figure 5 、 Figure 6 .

[0103] Further, the setting mechanism of the second visual assembly 6 in the preferred embodiment is similar to that of the first visual assembly 5, and the second visual assembly 6 can also generate two parallel detection light paths, and the directions of the two detection light paths emitted by the second visual assembly 6 are opposite to those of the two detection light paths emitted by the first visual assembly 5.

[0104] For example, in the preferred embodiment shown in Figure 1 , the detection light path emitted by the first visual assembly 5 is along the negative direction of the Z axis, and the detection light path emitted by the second visual assembly 6 is along the positive direction of the Z axis.

[0105] In more detail, the structural composition of the second vision assembly 6 is preferably identical to that of the first vision assembly 5, and the two detection light paths outputted from the light outlet of the second vision assembly 6 are respectively a third light path and a fourth light path, the focusing optical paths of the two light paths are equal, and the optical path of the third light path in the vision assembly is smaller than that of the fourth light path in the vision assembly, i.e. the distance between the focusing point of the third light path and the light outlet of the vision assembly is greater than that between the focusing point of the fourth light path and the light outlet of the vision assembly, as shown in Figure 4 the left dashed line in the figure is the third light path, and the right dashed line is the fourth light path.

[0106] More specifically, in the second vision assembly 6, the optical path difference W2 between the third light path and the fourth light path is equal to the distance between the calibration Mark and the first detection Mark in the axial direction of the light path, i.e. the distance between the two Marks in the Z-axis direction. Figure 1

[0107] Exemplarily, in a specific preferred embodiment, the bottom surface of the calibration plate 2 is flush with the bottom surface of the bonding head 101, and the calibration Mark is arranged on the bottom surface of the calibration plate 2, at this time, the distance between the calibration Mark and the first detection Mark in the optical axis is just equal to the thickness of the chip 7 to be bonded.

[0108] In actual arrangement, the bottom surface of the calibration plate 2 does not protrude from the bottom surface of the chip 7 after being taken out by the bonding head 101, and it is further preferred that the bottom surface of the calibration plate 2 does not protrude from the bottom surface of the bonding head 101, so as to reduce the impact of the calibration plate 2 on the bonding of the chip 7 to be bonded.

[0109] By using the arrangement of the two detection light paths in the second vision assembly 6, after the light outlet of the second vision assembly 6 is vertically aligned with the bonding assembly 1, the third light path can be focused on the calibration Mark of the calibration plate 2, and the fourth light path can be focused on the first detection Mark of the chip 7 to be bonded.

[0110] Preferably, in actual arrangement, the second vision assembly 6 is arranged between the taking-out position of the chip 7 to be bonded and the support table 10, and the line connecting the three is preferably parallel to the displacement direction of the first displacement mechanism 3, so that the bonding assembly 1 can be switched between the taking-out position of the chip 7 to be bonded, the second vision assembly 6 and the support table 10 under the driving of the first displacement mechanism 3.

[0111] In more detail, considering that the arrangement form of the second vision assembly 6 can be the same as that of the first vision assembly 5, in the second vision assembly 6, a pair of reflecting mirror groups can also be arranged to control the optical path difference of the two detection light paths.

[0112] For example, Figure 1 ​The preferred embodiment shown in the figure is taken as an example, at this time, the mirror corresponding to the third light path protrudes the mirror of the fourth light path in the Y axis direction, and the protruding distance is just equal to W2. Meanwhile, considering that the third light path and the second light path are both focused on the imaging of the calibration Mark, in the preferred embodiment, after the setting of the two visual components is completed, the mirror of the third light path and the mirror of the second light path (i.e. the second mirror 5052) are preferably spaced apart in the X axis direction, so that through the displacement in the X axis direction, the calibration Mark on the calibration board 2 and the corresponding detection light path in the two visual components can be sequentially focused and imaged.

[0113] Through the above setting of the bonding assembly 1, the calibration board 2, the two displacement mechanisms and the two visual components, the bonding head 101 can sequentially complete the two times of focused imaging of the calibration Mark and the focused imaging of the first detection Mark and the second detection Mark after the material taking of the chip 7 to be bonded is completed. Through the acquisition of the relative coordinate values between the two detection Marks and the calibration Mark, the relative coordinate values between the two detection Marks can be calculated, and then the compensation position coordinates (X, Y, θ) of the chip 7 to be bonded which need to be displaced are obtained. x y ,θ). Thereafter, by using the control of the planar adjustment module 102, the chip 7 to be bonded and the target chip 8 can be adjusted to the completely aligned position, and finally the alignment bonding between the two chips is completed.

[0114] As another aspect of the present application, on the basis of the foregoing wafer bonding device, a wafer bonding method is further proposed, which is realized by using the wafer bonding device, and includes the following steps:

[0115] (1) The bonding assembly 1 is driven to the material taking station by the first displacement mechanism 3, and the material taking of the chip 7 to be bonded is completed;

[0116] (2) The first displacement mechanism 3 is controlled to work, and the bonding head 101 is driven to the second visual component 6, at this time, the two detection light paths on the second visual component 6 are respectively focused and imaged at the calibration Mark (corresponding to the third light path) and the first detection Mark (corresponding to the fourth light path), and the coordinate information of the first detection Mark relative to the calibration Mark is obtained;

[0117] (3) The first visual component 5 is controlled to align with the target chip 8, so that the first light path of the first visual component 5 is focused and imaged with the second detection Mark on the target chip 8, and the coordinate information of the second detection Mark is obtained;

[0118] ​Obviously, it can be understood that the bonding head 101 is away from the field of view range of the first visual assembly 5 at this time, the second light path is located on the side of the first light path away from the bonding head 101, and there is no obstruction in the light path direction of the second light path, but there is no content at the focus point of the second light path, so the second light path is not imaged by the camera module at this time, as shown in Figure 5 .

[0119] (4) The relative position between the first visual assembly 5 and the support table 10 is kept unchanged, the planar adjustment module 102 is controlled to work, and the bonding head 101 is driven to horizontally displace until the second light path is focused and imaged at the calibration Mark, the coordinate information of the calibration Mark at this time is obtained, and the coordinate information of the second detection Mark relative to the calibration Mark is obtained accordingly;

[0120] It can be found that when the calibration Mark is focused and imaged in the camera module of the first visual assembly 5, the first light path is blocked by the bonding head 101 and cannot be imaged, as shown in Figure 6 . At this time, the actual position coordinates of the calibration Mark can be determined in combination with the displacement of the planar adjustment module 102.

[0121] (5) The relative position coordinates between the first detection Mark and the second detection Mark are obtained according to the coordinate information of the first detection Mark relative to the calibration Mark and the coordinate information of the second detection Mark relative to the calibration Mark, and the compensation position coordinates (x, y, θ) of the to-be-pasted chip 7 required when the two chips are aligned are obtained; x , y , θ);

[0122] (6) The planar adjustment module 102 is controlled to work according to the compensation position coordinates, and the to-be-pasted chip 7 and the target chip 8 are accurately aligned; thereafter, the second displacement mechanism 4 is controlled to work, and the to-be-pasted chip 7 is driven to be pressed down by the bonding head 101 and the bonding of the to-be-pasted chip 7 and the target chip 8 is completed.

[0123] The processes in cycles (1) to (6) are repeated to complete the bonding process between the plurality of to-be-pasted chips 7 and the corresponding target chips 8.

[0124] The wafer bonding device based on double-focus imaging in the application has compact structure and is convenient to use, can respectively realize the imaging of the detection Mark on the two chips and the calibration Mark on the calibration plate based on the double-focus imaging principle, accurately obtain the relative position coordinates between the two detection Marks on the two chips, and obtain the compensation position coordinates required when the two chips are aligned, so as to ensure the alignment accuracy of the to-be-pasted chip and the target chip before bonding, improve the quality of chip bonding processing, reduce the defective rate of chip processing, and have good practical value and economic benefits.

[0125] Those skilled in the art can easily understand that the above description is only the preferred embodiment of the present application, and is not intended to limit the present application. Any modification, equivalent replacement and improvement made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
