Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of semiconductor preparation, and in particular relates to a piezoelectric composite substrate capable of reducing wafer warpage, and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] The information disclosed in this background technology section is only intended to enhance the understanding of the overall background of the invention, and should not necessarily be regarded as an admission or any form of suggestion that the information constitutes the prior art already known to a person skilled in the art.

[0003] As people pursue the increasing data transmission speed, performance and power consumption of telecommunication equipment, people need to provide acoustic filters that work at higher frequencies and larger bandwidths to achieve higher data transmission. In recent years, filters based on piezoelectric composite substrates with piezoelectric single crystal films can effectively improve the center frequency and bandwidth of the filter, reduce power consumption and reduce heat dissipation.

[0004] The general preparation method of piezoelectric composite substrate is to transfer the piezoelectric single crystal material to the required substrate using an ion beam stripping method. However, during the ion implantation process, a large amount of thermal effects will be generated during the implantation process, resulting in obvious warping of the piezoelectric wafer after implantation, which will have an adverse effect on the subsequent process, easily causing the composite film to break, and increasing the production cost of the composite film. In order to improve the wafer warping, the prior art suppresses the warping of the wafer by designing a special structure or offsets the warping of both sides by ion implantation or etching on the other side. CN117597008A performs wafer bonding twice on the piezoelectric wafer with the first supporting substrate and the second supporting substrate in sequence to obtain a composite bonding structure with rigidity, which can effectively suppress the uneven thermal expansion of the piezoelectric wafer. CN105702564B deposits a stress film on the wafer first, then patterns the wafer through a photolithography process, protects the stress film in a specific area with a photoresist, and then performs an ion implantation process on the wafer, so that the stress in a specific direction can be released, thereby being able to make targeted adjustments to the warping degree in a specific direction of the wafer. CN113053747B forms a first back doping region corresponding to the front doping region on the back of the wafer, so that the stresses generated by the back ion implantation and the front ion implantation can offset each other. Although the above prior art can reduce the warping degree of the wafer, it requires the use of complex bonding structures, photolithography patterns and other structures or the use of multi-faceted ion implantation, which increases the production cost.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0031] As described in the background technology, a large amount of thermal effect will be generated during the ion implantation process, resulting in obvious warping of the piezoelectric wafer after implantation. Although the existing technology can reduce the degree of wafer warping, it requires the use of complex bonding structures, photolithography patterns and other structures or the use of multi-faceted ion implantation and etching, which increases production costs.

[0032] In order to solve the above problems, an embodiment of the present invention provides a piezoelectric composite substrate with reduced wafer warpage, a preparation method and an application thereof.

[0033] Specifically, a method for preparing a piezoelectric composite substrate with reduced wafer warpage is as follows: Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the following steps are included:

[0034] S1, performing ion implantation on the piezoelectric wafer 100 in sequence to obtain a first wafer implantation sheet 110 which includes a thin film layer 1101, an implantation layer 1102 and a residual layer 1103 in sequence;

[0035] S2, soaking the first wafer implantation sheet 110 in a mixed acid solution containing hydrofluoric acid and an inorganic oxygen-containing acid to obtain a second wafer implantation sheet 120;

[0036] S3, bonding the thin film layer 1101 of the second wafer implantation sheet 120 to the support substrate 130 to obtain a bonded body 140;

[0037] S4, annealing the bonded body 140, removing the implanted layer 1102 and the residual layer 1103, and obtaining a piezoelectric composite substrate.

[0038] In an embodiment of the present invention, the piezoelectric wafer 100 includes one of lithium niobate, lithium tantalate, quartz, lithium tetraborate and lanthanum gallium silicate, the diameter of the piezoelectric wafer 100 is 4 to 12 inches, and the thickness of the piezoelectric wafer is 100 to 1000 μm.

[0039] In an embodiment of the present invention, the ions implanted include at least one of hydrogen ions and helium ions, the energy of the ion implantation is 50 to 500 KeV, and the dose of the ion implantation is 3×10 15 ~5×10 18 ions / cm 2 , the thickness of the thin film layer 1101 is 50 to 1000 nm.

[0040] The present invention does not specifically limit the method of ion implantation, and any ion implantation method in the prior art can be used, and the implanted ions can be ions that can generate gas through heat treatment. The thickness of the thin film layer 1101 is adjusted by adjusting the energy of the ion implantation. Specifically, the greater the energy of the ion implantation, the greater the thickness of the prepared thin film layer 1101; conversely, the smaller the energy of the ion implantation, the smaller the thickness of the prepared thin film layer 1101. At the same time, the depth of the implanted layer 1102 is adjusted by adjusting the ion implantation energy. Specifically, the greater the energy of the ion implantation, the deeper the depth of the implanted layer 1102; conversely, the smaller the energy of the ion implantation, the shallower the depth of the implanted layer 1102. The implantation time is controlled according to the thickness of the thin film layer 1101.

[0041] In an embodiment of the present invention, the inorganic oxygen-containing acid includes sulfuric acid or nitric acid, the volume ratio of hydrofluoric acid to sulfuric acid is 1:(1-3), the volume ratio of hydrofluoric acid to nitric acid is 1:(1-5), and the immersion time is 5-1200 min.

[0042] The first wafer implantation sheet 110 is immersed in the mixed acid solution, which can effectively release the thermal stress in the piezoelectric wafer and reduce the wafer warpage; at the same time, the particle contamination on the surface of the implantation sheet is removed, which is conducive to reducing the bubbles caused by particles during the bonding process. Immersing in the mixed acid solution does not affect the progress of the previous and next processes, and there is no need to adjust the parameters of the previous and next processes. In addition, the mixed acid solution can be recycled, which reduces the cost.

[0043] In an embodiment of the present invention, the material of the support substrate 130 includes at least one of sapphire, silicon, silicon carbide, quartz, diamond, gallium nitride and gallium arsenide, the diameter of the support substrate 130 is 4 to 12 inches, and the thickness of the support substrate 130 is 100 to 1000 μm.

[0044] In an embodiment of the present invention, before bonding the thin film layer 1101 of the second wafer implantation sheet 120 to the support substrate 130, the surfaces to be bonded of the thin film layer 1101 and the support substrate 130 are cleaned. The cleaning method is not particularly limited, and any one of the prior art can be used. The bonding method is not particularly limited, and any one of the prior art can be used, such as plasma bonding and surface activation bonding. The surface activation method is not particularly limited, and any one of the prior art can be used, such as plasma activation or chemical solution activation.

[0045] In an embodiment of the present invention, an intermediate layer 150 is arranged on the supporting substrate 130, and the intermediate layer 150 is a single-layer structure. The thin film layer 1101 of the second wafer injection piece 120 is bonded to the intermediate layer 150 of the supporting substrate 130. The material of the intermediate layer 150 includes at least one of silicon dioxide, silicon nitride, aluminum oxide and aluminum nitride, and the thickness of the intermediate layer 150 is 50 to 5000 nm.

[0046] like Figure 3 As shown, the intermediate layer 150 is disposed on the support substrate 130 by deposition, and the deposition method is not particularly limited, and may be chemical vapor deposition (CVD), physical vapor deposition (PVD) or magnetron sputtering.

[0047] In an embodiment of the present invention, an intermediate layer 150 is arranged on the supporting substrate 130, and the intermediate layer 150 includes a defect layer 1501 and an isolation layer 1502 which are sequentially stacked on the supporting substrate. The thin film layer 1101 of the second wafer injection piece 120 is bonded to the isolation layer 1502 of the supporting substrate 130. The material of the defect layer 1501 includes at least one of polycrystalline silicon, amorphous silicon and polycrystalline germanium. The material of the isolation layer 1502 includes at least one of silicon dioxide, silicon nitride, aluminum oxide and aluminum nitride. The thickness of the defect layer 1501 is 100 to 3000 nm.

[0048] When the active layer composed of insulating material is in direct contact with the insulating layer composed of semiconductor material, there will be many defect energy levels in the insulating layer at the interface, and the defect energy levels can attract carriers. The carriers in the semiconductor substrate layer are attracted to the vicinity of the interface between the two by the defect energy levels in the insulating layer, thereby generating a parasitic surface conductivity effect (PSC) in the semiconductor substrate layer. This greatly reduces the effective resistivity of the substrate near the interface by more than one order of magnitude, which has a bad impact on the final performance of the components prepared by the thin film structure material based on the insulator substrate, and limits the ability of the substrate to meet the next generation performance requirements. There is a certain density of lattice defects in the defect layer 1501, which can capture the carriers existing between the isolation layer 1502 and the supporting substrate 130, and prevent these carriers from causing carrier aggregation at the isolation layer 1502 and the supporting substrate 130, thereby suppressing PSC and reducing the loss of the composite film.

[0049] like Figure 4 As shown, a defect layer 1501 is first prepared on a supporting substrate 130, and then an isolation layer 1502 is prepared on the defect layer 1501. Both the defect layer 1501 and the isolation layer 1502 are prepared by deposition, and the deposition method is not particularly limited, and can be chemical vapor deposition (CVD), physical vapor deposition (PVD) or magnetron sputtering.

[0050] In the embodiment of the present invention, the annealing temperature is 80°C to 800°C, and the annealing time is 0.5 to 60 hours. During the annealing process, the ions in the injection layer 1102 form bubbles, such as hydrogen ions forming hydrogen gas. The long-term annealing and heat preservation make the bubbles in the injection layer 1102 connected into one piece, and finally the injection layer 1102 is broken, and the residual layer 1103 is separated from the film layer 1101.

[0051] In an embodiment of the present invention, the thin film layer 1103 is polished and thinned.
