Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of semiconductor manufacturing technology, and more particularly to a simple splitting device and method for separating crystal grains after laser hidden cutting of SiC. Background Art

[0002] As a typical third-generation semiconductor material, SiC has the characteristics of wide band gap, high carrier mobility, high thermal conductivity, and large critical breakdown voltage. Therefore, it is widely used in power devices, radio frequency devices, aerospace, intelligent manufacturing, nuclear energy and other fields. However, SiC wafers always need to be cut into different sizes to meet actual use requirements. At present, the main method of cutting SiC wafers in industry is diamond wheel cutting. Cutting SiC samples with diamond wheels can achieve zero taper and smooth cutting sections, but SiC is a typical hard and brittle material with a Mohs hardness of up to 9 and a low fracture toughness of 1.4-1.8Mpa.m1 / 2;

[0003] Therefore, there are still some disadvantages when cutting SiC with a diamond wheel, such as low feed speed, diamond tool wear, large edge damage, and a relatively large incision width of 50um; similarly, the patent with publication number CN111438442A discloses a method of processing the SiC surface using a nanosecond ultraviolet laser with a wavelength of 355nm and combining it with subsequent splitting knife three-point bending for splitting. The SiC surface has a strong absorption characteristic for this laser light source, and its surface is grooved by laser scanning, and the SiC is separated into small grains along the grooves using a sharp splitting knife. Although this method can separate SiC wafers into small grains, the splashing processing chips during the laser grooving process will contaminate the sample surface. In addition, the sharp splitting knife may also damage the sample surface during the splitting process;

[0004] Invisible laser cutting is a cutting technology that does not damage the upper and lower surfaces of the sample. By focusing the laser beam inside the sample, a photochemical reaction occurs inside the sample under the high temperature of the laser to form a modified layer, and microcracks are formed in the longitudinal direction of the modified layer, which solves the problems of thermal damage to the material, wide cutting seams, and surface contamination during the cutting process. However, the modified SiC still has a strong bonding force inside, and external force is needed to accurately separate it along the laser scanning path.

[0005] At present, the main source of external force is manual bending. When people bend SiC with both hands, the force points on both sides of SiC are sometimes at different distances from the laser-marked modified area, and people sometimes apply uneven force, resulting in the product not cracking along the laser-marked modified area, causing serious edge collapse or even breakage of the sample, which greatly affects the production yield.

[0074] S1: Place the sample: Place the SiC sample 41 to be cut by invisible laser on the PU 42 on the stage, and align the laser cutting track with the rectangular hollow area of ​​the stage to prevent the subsequent single cleaver structure from being able to contact the laser modified trace 411 inside the SiC through the hollow area;

[0075] S2: Sample visual imaging: Regulate the driving gear 15 to control the movable slide 13 to move up and down along the longitudinal displacement guide rail 12. The high-definition camera 17 moves up and down along the movable slide 13 until the display 11 displays a clearly focused SiC sample, and tighten the elastic assembly 14 to fix the high-definition camera 17;

[0076] S3: Adjust the single cleaver alignment system: observe the microscopic image on the display 11, and further control the movement of the SiC sample 41 on the stage by controlling the XY-axis cross roller guide 48, so that the subsequent single cleaver structure 45 passes through the hollow rectangular area and aligns with the laser modification trace 411 inside the SiC sample;

[0077] S4: Adjust the double-chopping knife alignment system: regulate the dovetail slide 31 to move slowly downward and further control the double-chopping knife structure 33 to move downward until the double-chopping knife structure 33 contacts the surface of the left and right sides of the laser modified trace 411 of the SiC sample. The double-chopping knife structure 33 applies downward pressure to the SiC sample 41, and the stage 43 moves slowly downward under the buffering action of the linear bearing 441 and the spring 442 surrounding the linear bearing. The single-chopping knife structure 45 applies an upward supporting force at the SiC laser modified trace 411. When the mechanical external force applied by the chopping knife reaches the fracture threshold of 10-20N at the SiC laser scribing 441, the two sides of the urethane foam 42 bend downward and receive the split SiC grains to complete the grain separation.

Changes, modifications, additions or substitutions made by ordinary technicians in this technical field within the essential scope of the present invention also fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
