[0024] An embodiment of this application provides a method and system for double-sided thinning of a wafer 400. By controlling liquid compensation and tilt compensation, the centering effect of the wafer 400 is improved.
[0025] To better understand the above technical solution, the above technical solution will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of the specification and specific implementation manners. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain this application and are not used to limit this application.
[0026] This application provides a method for double-sided thinning of a wafer 400, which is applied to a double-sided thinning device, such as Figure 1-3 As shown, the double-sided thinning device includes: a substrate assembly 100, a carrier assembly 200, a grinding wheel assembly 300, and a driving assembly (the driving assembly is not shown). The substrate assembly 100 includes a substrate 110, and there are two groups of substrates 110, which are arranged oppositely; the carrier assembly 200 includes a carrier ring 210 and a support member 220. The carrier ring 210 is used to carry the wafer 400, and the carrier ring 210 is arranged between the two groups of substrates 110. The support member 220 is used to support the carrier ring 210, so that the carrier ring 210 and the wafer 400 can be vertically arranged between the two groups of substrates 110. The support member 220 can rotate, so that the carrier ring 210 can rotate while being supported by the support member 220; the grinding wheel assembly 300 includes a grinding wheel 310, and there are two groups of grinding wheels 310, which are respectively arranged on both sides of the carrier ring 210, so that the grinding wheel 310 can act on the wafer 400 axially for grinding; the driving assembly is used to drive the carrier ring 210 and the wafer 400 to rotate.
[0027] It should be noted that the substrate assembly 100, the carrier assembly 200, the grinding wheel assembly 300, and the driving assembly are all existing double-sided thinning structures, and will not be elaborated in this embodiment.
[0028] Among them, as Figure 2 、 3As shown, a liquid supply port 120 for supplying liquid to the wafer 400 to support the wafer 400 is provided on the substrate 110; a distance sensor 130 for detecting the offset of the wafer 400 is provided on the substrate 110; specifically, the liquid supply port 120 is used to connect to an external liquid supply source, such as a water tank, etc., and liquid is supplied from the water tank to the liquid supply port 120 through a water pump, so that the liquid flows out of the liquid supply port 120 to support the wafer 400; in one embodiment, a plurality of liquid supply ports 120 may be provided on each substrate 110; the distance sensor 130 may adopt a pneumatic measuring instrument, and a pneumatic measuring instrument detection port is provided on the substrate 110 to detect the position of the wafer 400; in one embodiment, a plurality of pneumatic measuring instruments (distance measuring sensors) may be provided on each substrate 110.
[0029] Based on the above-mentioned double-sided thinning equipment, this embodiment proposes the following method: Figure 4 As shown, S1.1: obtaining the pressure change △P, wafer position offset △x and wafer position offset rate between the substrate 110 and the wafer 400; S1.2: establishing a first compensation function model of the pressure change △P, wafer position offset △x between the substrate 110 and the wafer 400 with respect to the liquid compensation amount Q; S1.3: adjusting the liquid compensation amount Q of the liquid supply port 120 based on the first compensation function model to center the wafer 400.
[0030] In other words, the calculation of the fluid compensation amount Q is based on the pressure change ΔP and the wafer position offset Δx. Q is related to ΔP and Δx, and the parameters required to achieve liquid dynamic compensation can be calculated by combining the correlation functions. It should be noted that the changes of ΔP and Δx are monitored in real time, and the flow rate and pressure of the fluid are dynamically adjusted according to the calculation results to achieve accurate liquid compensation.
[0031] The first compensation function model is:
[0032] Among them, K r is the proportionality coefficient of △x; K p is the control factor used to adjust the pressure change; K x is a control coefficient for adjusting wafer position offset; K dx is the control coefficient used to adjust the wafer position deviation rate.
[0033] In one embodiment, the pneumatic measuring instrument monitors the distance between the wafer 400 and the substrate 110 in real time, with 3 monitoring points on each side, for a total of 6 raw data. The wafer position offset Δx at each pneumatic measuring instrument monitoring port ij (i=1, 2, 3, j=1, 2, 3) = x 基ij -x加ij , j 1 , j 2 , j 3 correspond to the values at the tool changing position, the start of the fine grinding stage, and the start position of the optical grinding stage respectively.
[0034] By curve fitting the above 9 data, the overall skew state of the wafer 400 and the wafer position offset Δx are obtained; at the same time, Δx is sampled every 1 second ij The numerical values in the grinding stage are fitted to obtain the wafer position offset rate ; record the pressure P adjusted manually each time ij (i = 1 - 8 corresponds to 8 liquid supply ports 120, j = 1, 2 corresponds to two substrates 110), and the weighted average of each group of data is obtained , ΔP = - Ps (Ps is the standard value of 0.2 MPa).
[0035] Record the above Δx, , and ΔP numerical values into the first compensation function model ; at the same time, K r takes values in 1 / 2 steps, verifies the deviation value between the subsequent data and the model, and continuously tries to take the K r value. After obtaining more accurate numerical values, the steepest gradient confirms K p , K x , K dx and other control coefficients. So far, the first compensation function model is established.
[0036] Data fitting: The offset data is directly read and calculated through each pneumatic gauge monitoring port; for the data of 3 monitoring points in the same stage (such as the tool changing stage), cubic polynomial fitting is used to obtain the overall offset function , where t is time. For example, the offset function in the tool changing stage can be expressed as:
[0037] Among them, the coefficients a 1 , b 1 , c 1 , d 1 are determined by least squares fitting.
[0038] Offset rate calculation: By taking the derivative of the fitting function with respect to time, the offset change rate is obtained:
[0039] For example, in the fine grinding stage (j = 2), if the fitting result is , then the rate is:
[0040] Pressure deviation calculation: In one embodiment, the pressure data P of 8 water support ports is collected ij (i = 1 - 8 corresponds to 8 liquid supply ports 120, j = 1, 2, corresponding to two substrates 110), and the weighted average value is calculated:
[0041] where the weight w i is set according to the distribution symmetry of the support positions (for example, the weight of the central support position is 0.3, and the weight of the edge support position is 0.1); the pressure deviation is:
[0042] The first compensation function model is:
[0043] Initial trial value: Set K r = 0.5, and other coefficients K p = K x = K dx = 1.
[0044] Gradient descent optimization: Define the loss function: , calculate the partial derivatives of the loss with respect to each coefficient: , and similarly calculate 、 .
[0045] Update the coefficients: , where α is the learning rate (for example, α = 0.01); iterate until the loss function converges, such as L < 10 −4 .
[0046] Exemplarily: Suppose the monitoring data for a certain time is △P = 0.05 MPa, △x = 0.8 μm, = 0.2 μm / s, and the model output under the initial coefficients is: Q 模型 = 1×0.05 + 1×0.8 0.5 + 1×0.2 = 1.144; If the actual compensation amount Q 实际 = 1.5, then the loss is L = (1.5 - 1.144) 2 = 0.127; adjust the coefficients through gradient descent iteration, and finally obtain K p = 2.1, K x = 1.6, K dx = 0.5 。
[0047] However, limited by the mechanical structure, when the adjustment amount of Q is small (Q ≤ θ), liquid compensation can meet the requirements for adjusting the posture of the wafer 400; but when Q ≥ θ, the inclination compensation of the grinding wheel 310 needs to be combined: By combining the Wrap3D image obtained from the calibration wafer on the detection equipment (viewing the overall topography of the simulated wafer 400), the PV curve graph and values (viewing the unevenness degree and amplitude of the Center-mark and B-ring regions, the uniformity and values of the overall PV curve), the BOW curve and values (viewing how the wafer 400 bends on the overall level), and simultaneously comprehensively combining the current monitoring conditions on both sides of the grinding wheel 310 during each wafer grinding and the tooth consumption data of the grinding wheel 310, to adjust the small horizontal angles of the grinding wheel 310 on both sides and the left and right micron-level movement of the tool-changing position of the grinding wheel 310 in the axial direction, so as to accurately adjust the grinding upright state of the wafer 400 and the warping degree of the wafer 400, and to control the parameters of the wafer 400.
[0048] Furthermore, the grinding wheel 310 can be rotated in the vertical direction and can also be rotated in the horizontal direction, so that the grinding wheel 310 can adjust the angle relative to the wafer 400; in other words, the grinding wheel 310 can be adjusted relative to the wafer 400, so that the wafer 400 can be aligned and centered by adjusting the position of the grinding wheel 310. As Figure 5 shown, the method further includes: S2.1: Obtaining the surface topography parameters of the previous wafer and the grinding wheel wear data; wherein, the wafer surface topography parameters include the PV curve and the BOW value; S2.2: Establishing a second compensation function model of the surface topography parameters of the previous wafer and the grinding wheel wear data with respect to the inclination compensation amount W; S2.3: Adjusting the inclination compensation amount W of the grinding wheel 310 based on the second compensation function model to align the wafer 400.
[0049] The second compensation function model is:
[0050] Wherein, is the root mean square of the peak-to-valley values in the PV curve graph, reflecting the microscopic unevenness of the surface of the wafer 400; is its corresponding control coefficient; is the maximum amplitude of the Center-mark in the PV, is the maximum amplitude of the B-ring in the PV; are their corresponding control coefficients respectively; is the BOW value (including positive and negative), K r ’ is related to the coefficient ratio, is its corresponding control coefficient; is the grinding wheel wear amount during this wafer grinding, is its corresponding control coefficient; As Figure 6 shown, in the PV curve graph, collect the PV values corresponding to every 25 coordinates of the abscissa from 25 to 250 in the 1st - 4th curves i (1 ≤ i ≤ 11), and obtain the root mean square of these data .
[0051] Select the maximum / minimum value within the abscissa range of 100 - 200 to obtain , and select the maximum / minimum value within the abscissa ranges of 0 - 50 and 250 - 300 to obtain .
[0052] For each lapping, import the above , , , as well as the aforementioned , data into the W model. Take K r ’ as 1.5 for trial, and temporarily take the other coefficient ratios as 1. Verify the deviation value between the subsequent data and the model, and continuously trial the value of K r . After obtaining a more accurate value, confirm the steepest gradient , , , , and other control coefficients. Thus, the second compensation function model is established.
[0053] Specific process for determining model parameters: The PV curve reflects the peak - valley height difference at different positions on the surface of the wafer 400 during the grinding process, and is used to evaluate the surface flatness; obtain the maximum protrusion (Peak) and depression (Valley) values to form the PV curve.
[0054] The root mean square value of PV (PVrms) refers to the root mean square value of the PV curve in a specific area, and is used to quantify the surface micro - unevenness; in the range of the abscissa from 25 to 250 of the PV curve, take a point every 25, a total of 11 points (coordinates 25, 50, 75,..., 250); record the PV value (peak - valley difference) of each point, denoted as PV 1 , PV 2 ,.., PV 11 , then
[0055] Example: If the PV values of 11 points are 2, 3, 4,..., 12 μm respectively, then:
[0056] Regional peak - valley difference (△PV 1With △PV 2 ): △PV 1 : The difference between the maximum PV value and the minimum PV value is taken within the range of 100 - 200 on the abscissa:
[0057] Example: If the maximum PV value in this area is 10 μm and the minimum is 4 μm, then △PV 1 = 6 μm.
[0058] △PV 2 : The differences between the maximum and minimum PV values are taken respectively within the ranges of 0 - 50 and 250 - 300 on the abscissa, and then comprehensively calculated:
[0059] Example: If the maximum PV in the range of 0 - 50 is 8 μm and the minimum is 2 μm; the maximum PV in the range of 250 - 300 is 7 μm and the minimum is 3 μm, then: △PV 2 = max(8, 7) - min(2, 3) = 8 - 2 = 6 μm.
[0060] The BOW value (wafer 400 curvature) refers to the overall curvature degree of the wafer 400 analyzed through the Wrap3D image. The BOW value is the height difference between the center and the edge of the wafer 400; if the Wrap3D image shows that the center depression depth is +5 μm and the edge warpage is -3 μm, then: ; The wheel wear amount (ΔX) refers to the thickness reduction amount of the wheel 310 during the grinding process, which is monitored in real time by a tooth profile sensor; if the thickness of the wheel 310 is reduced by 0.1 mm after a certain grinding, then: .
[0061] The second compensation function model is: ; Set K r ’ = 1.5, and the other coefficients K PV = 1, K1 = 1, K 2 = 1, K B = 1, K X = 1; Gradient descent method optimization: Define the loss function:
[0062] Calculate the partial derivatives and update the coefficients: For example, if the PV rms term is the maximum value, then update K PV : , where β is the learning rate, such as β=0.001.
[0063] The data of three dimensions, namely PV curve, BOW curvature and grinding wheel wear, comprehensively reflect the reasons for abnormal wafer 400 posture. The max function is used to automatically select the parameters that have the greatest impact on the current state to avoid the limitations of a single factor. The exponential term of BOW and the square root term of grinding wheel wear enhance the adaptability of the model to complex processes.
[0064] When the fluid compensation reaches the limit value θ, the grinding wheel 310 tilt compensation W is further introduced. The adjustment of W is based on the microscopic roughness (rms PV) of the surface of the wafer 400, the concave and convex degree of the center-mark and B-ring areas (PV1 and PV2), the uniformity and value of the overall PV curve, the BOW value, and the grinding wheel wear ΔX. By constructing a function model of W and collecting relevant data, the optimal grinding wheel 310 tilt compensation can be calculated.
[0065] Therefore, if Figure 7 As shown, the method also includes: S3.1: obtaining liquid compensation amount Q, inclination compensation amount W and grinding current data; S3.2: establishing a third compensation function model of liquid compensation amount Q, inclination compensation amount W, and grinding current data regarding comprehensive compensation amount Y; S3.3: adjusting the liquid compensation amount Q of the liquid supply port 120 and the inclination compensation amount W of the grinding wheel 310 based on the third compensation function model to center the wafer 400.
[0066] The third compensation function model is:
[0067] in is the integration proportional coefficient of the liquid compensation amount, is the integration proportional coefficient of the tilt compensation amount, is the proportional coefficient of the current data in the grinding stage; The weighted average of the difference between the reference current and the current on the pressurized side, which is sampled every second during the grinding stage; the Q, W, Data, imported into the Y model, Try 0.7, and temporarily set the other coefficients to 1. Confirm the fastest gradient , The third compensation function model is now established.
[0068] Current difference calculation: collect the current data of the reference side and the pressurized side every second. 基 (t) and I 加 (t), where the pressurized side and the reference side correspond to the two substrates 110, and the weighted average is calculated: =
[0069] The weight w(t) can be set according to time decay (e.g., w(t)=e −0.1t ).
[0070] For the third compensation function model:
[0071] Initial trial value: Set K q = 0.7, K w = 1, K i = 1; Define the total loss function ; Update the coefficients through partial derivatives: ; Similarly, update K w and K i .
[0072] Exemplarily: Assume that in a certain adjustment, Q = 7.2, W = 30.14, = 0.5, and the model output under the initial coefficients is:
[0073] If the actual requirement Y 实际 = 38, then the loss is (38 - 35.68)^2 = 5.38, and gradually approach the target value by adjusting the coefficients.
[0074] Preferably, set a preset value θ, calculate the liquid compensation amount Q, and judge: If the liquid compensation amount Q < the preset value θ, adjust the liquid compensation amount Q of the liquid supply port 120 based on the first compensation function model to align the wafer 400; if the liquid compensation amount Q > the preset value θ, adjust the liquid compensation amount Q of the liquid supply port 120 and the inclination compensation amount W of the grinding wheel 310 based on the third compensation function model to align the wafer 400.
[0075] In other words, when Q < θ: Only adjust the liquid compensation amount Q through the first compensation function model; when Q ≥ θ: Activate the third compensation function model and adjust Q and the inclination compensation amount W of the grinding wheel 310 simultaneously.
[0076] This embodiment also provides a double-sided thinning system for a wafer 400, which is applied to a double-sided thinning device. The double-sided thinning device includes a substrate assembly 100, a carrier assembly 200, a grinding wheel assembly 300, and a driving assembly. The substrate assembly 100 includes substrates 110, and there are two groups of substrates 110 arranged oppositely; the carrier assembly 200 includes a carrier ring 210 and a support member 220.
