[0026] Please refer to the attached drawings in the instruction manual. Figure 1 and Figure 2 The silicon carbide ingot laser cutting method of the present application comprises the following steps: S100, obtaining a position of an operating station on the crystal ingot, wherein the operating station is a surface area of the crystal ingot facing a laser source; S200, setting a scanning path and a target depth below the operating station, controlling the first light beam to scan the target depth along the scanning path, and configuring the focus spot of the first light beam to be a Gaussian spot; S300, obtaining crack information formed by the first light beam, S310a, the crack information includes crack width, and classifying the crack width; S400a. Based on the crack width level, at least the following strategies are executed: S410a. If the actual crack width is determined to be level A, the first crack control strategy is executed: the second light beam is controlled to scan synchronously with the first light beam in phase, and the focusing spot of the second light beam is configured as an annular spot, and the action area of the annular spot moves with the synchronous scanning of the second light beam to cover the action area of the Gaussian spot in phase; wherein the time interval for phase modulation of the second light beam and the first light beam is controlled to be 20ns to 50ns, and / or the spatial interval for phase modulation of the second light beam and the first light beam is controlled to be 50μm to 100μm; S420a. If the actual crack width is determined to be level B, the second crack control strategy is executed: the scanning speed, pulse width and energy of the first light beam are maintained; S430a. If the actual crack width is determined to be level C, the third crack control strategy is executed: the pulse width and energy of the first light beam are increased, and the scanning speed of the first light beam is reduced.
[0027] It is understandable that the operating station of the ingot is generally selected as the upper surface of the ingot, and when the roughness of the upper surface is less than or equal to 3μm, it is more suitable for the silicon carbide ingot laser cutting method of the present application. The upper surface of this area is dominated by mirror reflection, the laser energy absorption is stable, and the absorption rate fluctuation is less than 5%. The scanning path and target depth are set below the operating station, that is, inside the ingot. The scanning path is a line-by-line scanning to form a scanning surface, and the target depth is preferably 80% to 90% of the required wafer thickness. Exemplarily, the first light beam is a nanosecond pulse laser with a pulse width range of 50ns to 500ns and an energy density of 10J / cm 2 ~50J / cm 2 , use the first light beam to ablate the target depth area inside the ingot. Because mirror reflection will cause the laser energy to dissipate and the crack is more likely to expand, it is necessary to avoid overburning. Crack detection is used to obtain crack information. The crack information includes crack width. When the crack width exceeds the set value, such as 30μm, a second light beam can be added, and the second light beam can be scanned synchronously with the first light beam in a phase-modulated manner. The focusing spot of the second light beam is configured as an annular spot. Exemplarily, the annular spot is preferably in the shape of a circular ring, or it can be a ring of two polygons with different diameters arranged concentrically, such as a regular n-gon ring. The second light beam can be a single light beam or a combined light beam composed of multiple light beams. The combined light beam projects multiple edges or multiple points to form an annular spot. Unlike the Gaussian spot of the first light beam, the energy distribution of the annular spot is more uniform. By configuring the energy distribution of the area within the inner ring of the annular spot to 0 or extremely low, thermal stress concentration is reduced, and the range of action of the annular spot tends to cover the range of action of the Gaussian spot along the scanning path of the second light beam. The position distribution relationship between the annular spot and the Gaussian spot, such as Figure 3 The various distributions shown in (a), (b), and (c) all have a certain inhibitory effect. Figure 3 In part (a), as a preferred embodiment, the cross section of the Gaussian spot at the target depth is S1, and the cross section of the annular spot at the target depth is S2, and the inner ring of S2 is controlled to move synchronously with the second light beam to cover S1 in phase. Since the area within the inner ring of the annular spot S2 has no energy to continue to project or extremely low energy to participate in the projection, the temperature is relatively low, and thermal stress can be generated from the edge of the outer ring to the inside of the inner ring, thereby limiting the expansion of the thermal stress originally generated by the Gaussian spot S1, thereby reducing the power of crack expansion, that is, inhibiting crack expansion, and ultimately reducing laser cutting losses. Figure 3 In the distribution mode of type (b), the annular area of the annular spot S2 partially overlaps with the Gaussian spot S1, which can also limit the thermal stress formed by the Gaussian spot S1, but the effect is poorer than that of the distribution mode of type (a). Figure 3In the distribution mode of type (c), the Gaussian spot S1 completely falls into the annular area of the annular spot S2, which has less restriction on thermal stress and is less effective than the distribution mode of type (b). Regarding the second light beam following the first light beam in a phase modulation manner, the interference or focusing point of the laser can be controlled so that the second light beam acts in time after the first light beam acts, thereby adjusting the distribution of residual stress. The time interval between the second light beam and the first light beam is controlled within 20ns to 50ns, and / or the spatial interval is controlled within 50μm to 100μm, so as to ensure timely intervention before the crack propagates. Among them, the roughness can be obtained by introducing laser scanning of the surface profile of the ingot, and the crack width in the crack information can be obtained by shooting with a CCD camera. It can be understood that by monitoring the crack width, the scanning speed, frequency and energy of the first light beam can be adjusted in time to prevent the crack from extending too much.
[0028] In some embodiments, the focus spot diameter of the first light beam is configured to be in the range of 15 μm to 25 μm, and the outer diameter of the focus spot of the second light beam is configured to be in the range of 40 μm to 60 μm. It is understood that by configuring the focus spot diameter of the first light beam to be in the range of 15 μm to 25 μm, a qualified cutting crack can be formed, and by configuring the outer diameter of the focus spot of the second light beam to be in the range of 40 μm to 60 μm, crack expansion can be sufficiently suppressed.
[0029] In some embodiments, the ratio of the inner diameter to the outer diameter of the focused spot of the second light beam is in the range of 0.5 to 0.7. It is understood that by setting the ratio of the inner diameter to the outer diameter of the focused spot of the second light beam to between 0.5 and 0.7, the energy distribution can be optimized so that a specific temperature field is formed inside the silicon carbide, and the temperature in the central area of the temperature field is substantially consistent with the temperature in the edge area, which can promote stress release.
[0030] In some embodiments, the crack width levels are divided into Class A, Class B, and Class C from large to small. It can also be divided into Class A and Class B only, or only into Class A and Class C, and the corresponding strategy is executed according to the determined crack width level. In some embodiments, the crack width range of Class A is >30μm, the crack width range of Class B is ≥20μm and ≤30μm, and the crack width range of Class C is <20μm. Exemplarily, the standard crack width range W0 is set to 20μm to 30μm, that is, Class B is the standard crack width. If the actual crack width W monitored is within W0, it is determined that the actual crack width is Class B, see Figure 4 , the second crack control strategy is implemented: maintain the scanning speed, pulse width and energy of the first beam. Figure 5, the third crack control strategy includes the following steps: increasing the pulse width and energy of the first light beam, and reducing the scanning speed of the first light beam. If the actual crack width W monitored is less than 20μm, the actual crack width is determined to be Class C, which indicates that the cutting effect is poor. It is necessary to reduce the scanning speed of the first light beam to extend the residence time of the first light beam at the target depth to improve the cutting quality, that is, to execute the third crack control strategy. The cutting parameters can be controlled by PID closed loop.
[0031] In some embodiments, the following steps are also included: S300, obtaining crack information formed by the first light beam, S310b, the crack information including crack extension frequency; S400b, based on the crack propagation frequency, executing the fourth crack control strategy, the fourth crack control strategy includes: adjusting the time interval and / or spatial interval between the second light beam and the first light beam. It can be understood that the crack is monitored by the crack propagation frequency, so as to timely adjust the scanning phase of the second light beam and the first light beam to ensure that the crack propagation is suppressed. Among them, if it is monitored that the crack propagation frequency is too fast, it is necessary to reduce the phase of the second light beam and the first light beam, and reduce the energy of the first light beam, so as to suppress the crack propagation. If the crack propagation frequency is too slow or the crack propagation frequency is intermittent and not continuous, it is necessary to increase the phase of the second light beam and the first light beam, and reduce the scanning speed of the first light beam and the second light beam, so as to ensure the cutting effect and prevent incomplete cutting. The crack propagation frequency is preferably detected by an acoustic emission sensor to obtain the sound wave generated by the crack propagation. In some embodiments, it can be detected by optical detection such as machine vision or infrared thermal imaging, or by X-ray or CT scanning.
[0032] See also Figure 6 In some embodiments, S400b, executing the fourth crack control strategy based on the crack propagation frequency specifically includes the following steps: S410b, setting a standard crack growth frequency range F0, judging and comparing the actual crack growth frequency F with the standard crack growth frequency range F0; S420b, if F is greater than the maximum value of F0, then reduce the time interval and / or spatial interval between the second light beam and the first light beam, and reduce the energy of the first light beam; if F is within the range of F0, then maintain the time interval and / or spatial interval between the second light beam and the first light beam; if F is less than the minimum value of F0, then increase the time interval and / or spatial interval between the second light beam and the first light beam, and reduce the scanning speed of the first light beam and the second light beam. It can be understood that crack propagation will be affected by factors such as beam energy and scanning speed, resulting in intermittent or continuous crack propagation. These conditions can be reflected by the frequency of crack propagation, and the frequency of crack propagation can be obtained by detecting the acoustic wave feedback generated by crack propagation. In this application, it is preferred to use an acoustic emission sensor to obtain the crack propagation frequency. Exemplarily, the standard crack propagation frequency range F0 is set to 400HZ~800HZ. If the actual crack propagation frequency F monitored exceeds 800HZ, it is characterized as too fast crack propagation. Therefore, by reducing the phase of the second light beam and the first light beam and reducing the energy of the first light beam, crack propagation is suppressed. If the actual crack propagation frequency F monitored is within F0, it indicates that the current cutting crack is at a normal level and the existing cutting parameters can be maintained. If the actual crack propagation frequency F monitored exceeds 800HZ, it indicates that the crack propagation is too slow or the crack propagation is intermittent and not continuous, so it is necessary to increase the phase of the second beam and the first beam, and reduce the scanning speed of the first beam and the second beam to ensure the cutting effect and prevent incomplete cutting. The cutting parameters can be controlled by PID closed loop.
[0033] In some embodiments, the wavelength of the first light beam is configured to be 1064nm, the wavelength of the second light beam is configured to be 635nm, and the energy ratio of the first light beam to the second light beam is X:Y, wherein X∈[5,8], Y∈[2,5]. It is understood that the first light beam uses a 1064nm nanosecond pulse laser with a pulse width of 50ns to 500ns and an energy density of 10J / cm 2 ~50J / cm 2 The second beam uses 635nm laser, and the ratio of the two is determined to facilitate processing.
[0034] In some embodiments, the acquisition of the position of the operating station on the ingot, where the operating station is defined as the ingot surface area with a roughness of ≤3μm and facing the laser source, includes the following steps: adding a third light beam, controlling the third light beam to scan the ingot surface to obtain the ingot surface roughness, and adjusting the pulse width and energy of the first light beam based on the ingot surface roughness. It is understandable that the third light beam is configured as a 635nm continuous laser with a power of <5W and a scanning resolution of 5μm, which can scan the surface morphology TTV and roughness value in real time and generate three-dimensional coordinates, so as to quickly find the operating station.
[0035] The silicon carbide ingot cutting system (not shown) of the present application is applied to the silicon carbide ingot laser cutting method of the present application, including: a carrier, a cutting module and a detection module, the carrier is used to carry the ingot, the cutting module is used to output the first light beam and the second light beam to scan along the target depth inside the ingot, and the detection module is used to detect the expansion frequency and crack width of the crack formed by the scanning of the first light beam and the second light beam, so as to feed back to the cutting module to control and adjust the first light beam and the second light beam. Exemplarily, the carrier is a vacuum adsorption carrier, which can adsorb and fix the ingot to facilitate processing, and the cutting module is mainly an optical path part, including lasers, reflectors, beam expanders, piezoelectric ceramics, acousto-optic modulators or spatial light modulators and other structures, and the acousto-optic modulator or spatial light modulator is used to divide the light beam emitted by the laser into the first light beam and the second light beam. The detection module includes an acoustic emission sensor and a high-speed CCD camera. The acoustic emission sensor is used to detect the frequency of crack propagation formed by the first light beam cutting the inside of the ingot. The high-speed CCD camera is used to visually detect the width of the crack. The information detected by the detection module can be fed back to the cutting module, so that the cutting module can adjust the first light beam and the second light beam, such as the time interval and spatial interval of the scanning path, or laser parameters such as scanning speed, pulse width and energy.
[0036] Beneficial effects: The present application adds a second light beam and uses phase modulation to make the second light beam scan synchronously with the first light beam. The focusing spot of the second light beam is configured as an annular spot. Different from the Gaussian spot of the first light beam, the energy distribution of the annular spot is more uniform, which can reduce the high temperature gradient in the central area, thereby reducing thermal stress concentration, inhibiting crack propagation, and reducing silicon carbide material loss; by controlling the time interval between the second light beam and the first light beam within 20ns~50ns, and / or the spatial interval within 50μm~100μm, timely intervention can be ensured before the crack propagates; the crack is monitored by acquiring the crack propagation frequency, so as to timely adjust the scanning phase of the second light beam and the first light beam to ensure that the crack propagation is suppressed; by monitoring the crack width, the scanning speed, frequency and energy of the first light beam can be adjusted in time to prevent the crack from propagating too much.
