Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] In recent years, high-performance radio frequency filters based on piezoelectric single crystal thin films have attracted widespread attention and are finding increasingly widespread application. Consequently, the fabrication technology for piezoelectric composite substrates is also developing towards high efficiency, low cost, and high quality.

[0003] Currently, ion beam stripping (IBSL) technology is commonly used to fabricate composite substrates. First, a piezoelectric wafer is treated with ion implantation to form a thin film layer, a residual layer, and an implanted layer between the thin film and residual layers. The surface of the thin film layer on the piezoelectric wafer is then brought into contact with the polished surface of the supporting substrate to form a bond. Finally, the bond is heated for annealing. During the annealing process, the ions in the implanted layer form gases under the thermal effect, creating bubbles between the implanted layers. These bubbles connect to each other, ultimately separating the residual layer from the thin film layer instantaneously, resulting in a composite substrate.

[0004] The bonding process is an important method for achieving heterogeneous integration technology. Direct bonding technology involves directly attaching two wafers with sufficiently clean and smooth surfaces, utilizing intermolecular forces between the two wafers or the interaction between chemical bonds attached to the wafer surfaces. However, during wafer bonding, the two bonded wafers can easily trap some air at the bonding interface, forming air gaps and thus forming bond holes that cannot be eliminated. Furthermore, warped wafers can debond during bonding, leading to wafer bonding failure. Finally, preparing a composite substrate requires annealing the bonded body, which takes a long time and is prone to breakage, resulting in a decrease in the yield and finished product rate of the composite substrate.

[0005] The existing technology, which involves direct wafer bonding, can cause air bubbles and voids in the bonded wafers, and can cause debonding in warped wafers. Furthermore, when the bonded body is annealed, the yield rate of the composite substrate is low. Therefore, a wafer bonding method is urgently needed to avoid the bond voids and debonding caused by the existing direct wafer bonding technology. Furthermore, the yield rate of the bonding process needs to be improved, thereby increasing the yield rate 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 warping of the bonded wafers and avoid the problems of excessive bonding holes and debonding. The yield and finished product rate of the prepared composite substrates are significantly improved.

[0007] The present application provides a wafer bonding method, which includes the following steps:

[0008] 1) Prepare the piezoelectric wafer and supporting substrate;

[0009] 2) performing ion implantation on the piezoelectric wafer to obtain an implanted wafer, which includes a thin film layer, an implanted layer, and a residual layer in sequence;

[0010] 3) Separating the thin film layer of the wafer implant sheet from the supporting substrate, and positioning the first bonding surface of the wafer implant sheet and the second bonding surface of the supporting substrate relative to each other and aligning them, while heating the wafer implant sheet and the supporting substrate for the first time, bringing them closer together, and performing a bonding process;

[0011] 4) applying a first pressure to the first bonding surface and the second bonding surface and maintaining the pressure for a period of time;

[0012] 5) reducing the first pressure to a second pressure and performing a second heating;

[0013] 6) Perform a third heating and keep the temperature for a period of time to separate the film layer from the residual layer to obtain a composite substrate.

[0014] Optionally, the first pressure range is 4000~6000N; and / or,

[0015] The second pressure range is 1500~2500N.

[0016] Optionally, in step 3), the first heating is to 65-75° C.

[0017] Optionally, in step 5), the second heating temperature is 240-280° C. and maintained for 20-40 minutes.

[0018] Optionally, the third heating temperature in step 6) is 160-200° C. and is kept warm for 1.5-3 hours.

[0019] Optionally, the energy of the ion implantation is 50-500 KeV; and / or,

[0020] The ion implantation dose is 3×10 15 ions / cm 2 ~5×10 18 ions / cm 2 and / or,

[0021] The ion types used in the ion implantation are hydrogen ions, helium ions or mixed ions of hydrogen and helium.

[0022] Optionally, the thickness of the thin film layer is 100-2000 nm.

[0023] Optionally, the material of the support substrate is one or more of sapphire, silicon, silicon carbide, quartz, diamond, gallium nitride, and gallium arsenide.

[0024] Optionally, the piezoelectric wafer and the supporting substrate have a diameter of 4 to 12 inches and an initial thickness of 100 to 1000 μm.

[0025] The present application provides the application of the above-mentioned wafer bonding method in the preparation of a composite substrate.

[0026] The beneficial effects of this application include but are not limited to:

[0027] The wafer bonding method of the present application and its application in the preparation of composite substrates can greatly improve the production rate and yield of composite substrates through three heating and bonding pressure application processes, and significantly improve the quality of the prepared composite substrate products.

[0028] For single heating, the wafer implant and supporting substrate are heated once before bonding, and their temperature is kept constant during the bonding process. At the same time, bonding pressure is applied to form a first bonding body, which effectively reduces the thermal stress of the bonding body and the holes in the bonding process, improves the warping degree of the bonding body, and thus improves the bonding yield.

[0029] For secondary heating, the bonded body is heated at a higher temperature for a second time while 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 pressure ensures that the warping generated during the temperature increase process is further reduced while ensuring that the bubbles do not burst, thereby improving production efficiency.

[0030] For the triple heating, the twice-heated bonded body is heated three times to the target temperature and kept warm to separate the thin film layer from the residual layer, and the injection layer is broken at a relatively low temperature, avoiding the occurrence of bond breakage caused by high temperature and long annealing time, thereby greatly improving the finished product rate and yield of the composite substrate.

[0031] In addition, applying pressure during bonding can solve the debonding problem of the warped wafer and effectively reduce the warping of the bonded wafer, and can also effectively avoid the bonding holes generated by the wafer direct bonding technology in the prior art.

[0108] Test Example 1

[0109] Performance tests were performed on the composite substrate products prepared 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 statistically analyzed.

[0110] Warpage (μm): The warpage of the wafer is detected and characterized using Tropel, a commonly used semiconductor testing equipment. Warpage is the appearance of wafer stress. If the warpage is too large, the bonding effect will be poor. For example, when the bond body is separated from the annealed film layer and the residual layer, the warpage caused by excessive stress will cause the bond body to break.

[0111] Number of bonding holes: Use infrared IR detection equipment to observe and directly observe the entire area of ​​the bonded wafer, collect detection images, and finally count and calculate their number.

[0112] The bonding yield (%) mainly reflects the bonding effect of the bonded wafer in the bonding process. The number of bonding holes in the bonded wafer is 0~1, which is considered good. The bonding yield is calculated by the ratio of wafers that meet product requirements to the total wafers.

[0113] The composite film yield (%) mainly reflects the quality of warpage and holes in the final composite film product. Warpage ≤15μm and the number of bonding holes 0~1 are considered good. The composite film yield is calculated by the ratio of wafers that meet product requirements to the total wafers.

[0114] The test results are shown in Table 1 below.

[0115] Table 1 Performance test results of composite substrates of Examples and Comparative Examples

[0116]

[0117] According to the results in Table 1, the wafer warpage and bonding holes are greatly improved by using Examples 1 to 3 of the present technical solution, and the bonding yield and composite film yield are greatly improved.

[0118] Comparing Example 1 with Example 4, it can be seen that when the pressure is too low, the wafer warpage increases, resulting in a decrease in the yield of the composite film and deterioration in quality.

[0119] 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 yield of the composite film and deterioration in quality.

[0120] Comparing Example 1 with Example 6, it can be seen that when the primary heating temperature is too high, wafer voids will increase, resulting in a decrease in bonding yield and composite film yield, and poor quality.

[0121] By comparing 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 deterioration in quality.

[0122] By comparing Example 1 with Example 8, it can be seen that when the secondary heating temperature is too high, a large number of bubbles will form on the wafer in a short time, which will lead to failure in peeling off the composite film, a decrease in the yield of the composite film, and deterioration in quality.

[0123] Comparing Example 1 with Example 9, it can be seen that when the tertiary heating temperature is too low, the composite film is difficult to be completely peeled off, which can easily lead to peeling failure, reduced composite film yield, and poor quality.

[0124] By comparing Example 1 with Example 10, it can be seen that when the tertiary heating temperature is too high, the thermal stress of the composite film peeling is large, which easily leads to the composite film being broken, resulting in a decrease in the yield of the composite film and deterioration in quality.

[0125] By comparing Example 1 with Comparative Example 1, it can be seen that when the non-pressure process is not included, the wafer warpage and the number of bonding holes increase significantly, and the resulting composite film has a low yield and poor quality.

[0126] By comparing Example 1 with Comparative Example 2, it can be seen that in the secondary heating process adopted therein, stress cannot be completely released during the bonding process, resulting in increased warping and bonding holes, which will cause the composite film to easily debond, fail to peel, and break. The resulting composite film has a low yield and poor quality.

[0127] By comparing Example 1 with Comparative Example 3, it can be seen that the method of heating the wafer injection piece adopts the 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, insulation for 30 minutes and no pressure applied during the bonding process will lead to increased wafer warping, thereby causing failure in composite film peeling and a decrease in composite film yield.

[0128] By comparing Example 1 with Comparative Example 4, it can be seen that the temperature of heating the wafer injection piece and the supporting substrate at the same time during the bonding process is too high, which easily leads to incomplete release of thermal stress. In addition, there is no pressure during the bonding process, which significantly increases the warping of the composite film and the bonding holes. During the secondary annealing process, debonding and peeling and breakage occur, resulting in a low yield of the composite film.

For those skilled in the art, the present application may have various modifications and variations.
