Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to a wafer bonding method and its application in the preparation of composite substrates, belonging to the processing technical field of composite substrates. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, high-performance radio frequency filters based on piezoelectric single crystal thin films have received extensive attention in the industry and have been more and more widely used. Correspondingly, the preparation technology of piezoelectric composite substrates is also developing in the direction of high efficiency, low cost, and high quality.

[0003] At present, the ion beam stripping technology is usually used to prepare composite substrates. First, the piezoelectric wafer is processed by ion implantation to form a thin film layer, a residual layer, and an implantation layer located between the thin film layer and the residual layer. Then, the surface of the thin film layer of the piezoelectric wafer is brought into contact with the polished surface of the support substrate to form a bonded body. Finally, the bonded body is heated for annealing treatment. During the annealing process, the ions in the implantation layer will form gas under the thermal effect, thereby generating bubbles in the implantation layer and connecting with each other, and finally the residual layer and the thin film layer are instantaneously separated to obtain a composite substrate.

[0004] The bonding process is an important method to realize heterogeneous integration technology. Among them, the direct bonding technology of the bonding process is to directly bond two wafers with sufficiently clean and smooth surfaces, and combine them by the intermolecular force between the two wafers or the interaction between the chemical bonds attached to the wafer surfaces. However, during the wafer bonding process, the two bonded wafers are likely to trap a part of the air in the bonding interface to form air gaps, thereby forming bonding holes that cannot be eliminated; secondly, for warped wafers, debonding will occur during bonding, directly resulting in wafer bonding failure; finally, annealing of the bonded body is required to prepare the composite substrate, the annealing time is very long and it is easy to break, resulting in a decrease in the yield and finished product rate of the composite substrate.

[0005] In the existing technical solutions, the method of directly bonding the wafers will cause bubble holes to form in the bonded wafers, debonding will occur for warped wafers, and at the same time, when annealing the bonded body, the yield of the composite substrate is low. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a wafer bonding method to avoid the bonding holes and debonding situations generated by the direct wafer bonding technology in the prior art, and the yield of the bonding process also needs to be improved, so as to improve the yield and finished product rate of the composite substrate. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In order to solve the above problems, a wafer bonding method and its application in the preparation of composite substrates are provided. The solution of the present application can effectively reduce the warpage of the bonded wafers and avoid the problems of excessive bonding holes and debonding, and the yield and finished product rate of the prepared composite substrates are significantly improved.

[0007] The present application provides a wafer bonding method, and the wafer bonding method includes the following steps: 1) Prepare a piezoelectric wafer and a support substrate; 2) Perform ion implantation on the piezoelectric wafer to obtain an implanted wafer, and the implanted wafer sequentially includes a thin film layer, an implanted layer, and a residual layer; 3) Separate the thin film layer of the implanted wafer from the support substrate, and make the first bonding surface of the implanted wafer and the second bonding surface of the support substrate face each other and be aligned. At the same time, perform a first heating on the implanted wafer and the support substrate, approach each other and perform a bonding process; 4) Apply a first pressure to the first bonding surface and the second bonding surface and maintain it for a period of time; 5) Reduce the first pressure to a second pressure and perform a second heating; 6) Perform a third heating and keep it warm for a period of time to separate the thin film layer from the residual layer to obtain a composite substrate.

[0008] Optionally, the first pressure ranges from 4000 to 6000 N; and / or, The second pressure ranges from 1500 to 2500 N.

[0009] Optionally, in step 3), the first heating is to 65 - 75 °C.

[0010] Optionally, in step 5), the second heating temperature is 240 - 280 °C and is maintained for 20 - 40 min.

[0011] Optionally, in step 6), the third heating temperature is 160 - 200 °C and is kept warm for 1.5 - 3 h.

[0012] Optionally, the energy of the ion implantation is 50 - 500 keV; and / or, The dose of the ion implantation is 3×10 15 ions / cm 2 ~5×10 18 ions / cm 2 ; and / or, The ion species used for the ion implantation is hydrogen ions, helium ions, or a mixed ion of hydrogen and helium.

[0013] Optionally, the thickness of the thin film layer is 100 - 2000 nm.

[0014] Optionally, the material of the support substrate is one or more of sapphire, silicon, silicon carbide, quartz, diamond, gallium nitride, and gallium arsenide.

[0015] Optionally, the diameter sizes of the piezoelectric wafer and the support substrate are 4 - 12 inches, and the initial thickness is 100 - 1000 μm.

[0016] The present application provides an application of the above wafer bonding method in the preparation of a composite substrate.

[0017] The beneficial effects of the present application include but are not limited to: For the wafer bonding method of the present application and its application in the preparation of a composite substrate, through three heating processes and the application pressure process during bonding, the yield and the good rate of the composite substrate can be significantly improved, and the quality of the prepared composite substrate product is significantly improved.

[0018] For the first heating, the wafer injection sheet and the support substrate are heated once before bonding, and the temperature is kept unchanged during the bonding process. At the same time, the bonding pressure is applied to form a first bonded body, effectively reducing the thermal stress of the bonded body and the holes during the bonding process, improving the warping degree of the bonded body, and thus improving the bonding good rate.

[0019] For the second heating, the bonded body is heated to a second elevated temperature, and at the same time, the pressure value of the bonded body is reduced. At this temperature, bubbles can be formed in the injection layer of the piezoelectric wafer, greatly shortening the time required for annealing and peeling. The precise control of the pressure ensures that the warping generated during the further temperature increase process is further reduced while ensuring that the bubbles do not burst, thereby improving the production efficiency.

[0020] For the third heating, the bonded body after the second heating is heated to the target temperature and kept warm to separate the thin film layer from the remaining layer, and the injection layer is broken at a relatively low temperature, avoiding the problem of the bonded body cracking caused by high temperature and long annealing treatment time, and greatly improving the yield and the good rate of the composite substrate.

[0021] In addition, applying pressure during bonding can solve the debonding problem of warped wafers and effectively reduce the warping of the bonded wafers, and can also effectively avoid the bonding holes generated by the wafer direct bonding technology in the prior art.

[0041] Test Example 1 Performance detection was carried out on the composite substrate products prepared by using the methods of Examples 1 to 10 and Comparative Examples 1 to 4, and the bonding yield in the bonding process and the composite film yield of the final composite film product were counted.

[0042] Warpage (μm): The warpage of the wafer was detected and characterized by the commonly used semiconductor detection equipment Tropel. Warpage is the appearance manifestation of wafer stress. If the warpage is too large, the bonding effect is poor. For example, when the bonded body is separated in the annealing film layer and the remaining layer, the warpage caused by excessive stress will cause the bonded body to break.

[0043] Number of bonding holes: Observation was carried out using an infrared IR detection instrument. The entire area of the bonded wafer was directly observed, detection images were collected, and finally its number was counted and calculated.

[0044] Bonding yield (%): mainly reflects the bonding effect of the bonded wafer in the bonding process. The number of bonding holes of the bonded wafer from 0 to 1 is regarded as good. The bonding yield is calculated by the ratio of the wafers that meet the product requirements to the total wafers.

[0045] Composite film yield (%): mainly reflects the warpage and hole quality of the final composite film product. Warpage ≤ 15 μm and the number of bonding holes from 0 to 1 are regarded as good. The composite film yield is calculated by the ratio of the wafers that meet the product requirements to the total wafers.

[0046] The detection results are shown in Table 1 below.

[0047] Table 1 Detection results of the performance of the composite substrates in Examples and Comparative Examples

[0048] According to the results in Table 1, it can be seen that for Examples 1 to 3 in the present technical solution, the wafer warpage and the number of bonding holes are greatly improved, and the bonding yield and the composite film yield are greatly increased.

[0049] Comparing Example 1 with Example 4, it can be seen that when the pressure is too small, the wafer warpage increases, resulting in a decrease in the composite film yield and a deterioration in quality.

[0050] Comparing Example 1 with Example 5, it can be seen that when the primary heating temperature is too low, the wafer warpage increases, resulting in a decrease in the composite film yield and a deterioration in quality.

[0051] Comparing Example 1 with Example 6, it can be seen that when the primary heating temperature is too high, it will lead to an increase in wafer holes, resulting in a decrease in the bonding yield and the composite film yield and a deterioration in quality.

[0052] Comparing Comparative Example 1 with Example 7, it can be seen that when the secondary heating temperature is too low, it is difficult for the wafer to form bubbles in a short time, which will lead to a decrease in the yield of the composite film and a deterioration in quality.

[0053] Comparing Comparative Example 1 with Example 8, it can be seen that when the secondary heating temperature is too high, a large number of bubbles will be formed on the wafer in a short time, which will lead to failure of composite film peeling, a decrease in the yield of the composite film, and a deterioration in quality.

[0054] Comparing Comparative Example 1 with Example 9, it can be seen that when the tertiary heating temperature is too low, it is difficult for the composite film to be completely peeled off, which easily leads to peeling failure, a decrease in the yield of the composite film, and a deterioration in quality.

[0055] Comparing Comparative Example 1 with Example 10, it can be seen that when the tertiary heating temperature is too high, the peeling thermal stress of the composite film is relatively large, which easily leads to fragmentation of the composite film, resulting in a decrease in the yield of the composite film and a deterioration in quality.

[0056] Comparing Comparative Example 1 with Comparative Example 1, it can be seen that when there is no pressure application process, the warping of the wafer and the number of bonding holes increase significantly, and the yield of the obtained composite film is low and the quality is poor.

[0057] Comparing Comparative Example 1 with Comparative Example 2, it can be seen that in the secondary heating process it adopts, there is a situation where the stress during the bonding process cannot be completely released, resulting in an increase in warping and an increase in bonding holes, which will cause the composite film to be easily debonded, peeled off and fragmented, and the yield of the obtained composite film is low and the quality is poor.

[0058] Comparing Comparative Example 1 with Comparative Example 3, it can be seen that in the way it heats the wafer injection sheet, there is a phenomenon that the film spontaneously falls off during the cleaning process, resulting in an increase in bonding holes and a decrease in bonding yield. In addition, the secondary heating at 260 °C, heat preservation for 30 min and no pressure applied during the bonding process will lead to an increase in wafer warping, resulting in failure of composite film peeling and a decrease in the yield of the composite film.

[0059] Comparing Comparative Example 1 with Comparative Example 4, it can be seen that when the heating temperature of both the wafer injection sheet and the support substrate is too high during the bonding process, it is easy to cause incomplete release of thermal stress, and no pressure during the bonding process makes the warping of the composite film increase significantly and the bonding holes increase. During the secondary annealing process, debonding and peeling fragmentation occur, resulting in a relatively low yield of the composite film.
