Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of wafer cutting, and in particular to a semiconductor wafer and a special cutting tool thereof. Background Art
[0002] Conductor wafer dicing is a crucial step in the semiconductor manufacturing process, involving the precise dicing of silicon wafers or other types of semiconductor materials into small pieces, also known as "wafer chips", for subsequent packaging, testing and integrated circuit production. This process plays a decisive role in the performance and yield of semiconductor components. With the continuous development of electronic technology, the requirements for semiconductor chips are getting higher and higher, especially in terms of chip size, precision and processing speed, which has led to the continuous optimization and innovation of wafer dicing technology.
[0003] Semiconductor wafers are usually round slices cut from silicon rods, usually with a diameter of 200 mm or 300 mm. Since the material of the wafer is relatively fragile and extremely thin, the cutting process places extremely strict requirements on the accuracy, stability and tools of the equipment. During the cutting process, any physical damage to the wafer must be avoided, so high-precision cutting tools such as diamond wire cutting machines, laser cutting machines and water jet cutting machines are used. Diamond tools are widely used in the cutting of semiconductor wafers due to their extremely high hardness and wear resistance, which can ensure accurate cutting and reduce material loss during processing; There are still the following defects in specific use: 1. In the traditional straight-line cutting process, due to the relative movement between the cutter and the wafer surface, serrated cutting marks are easily generated. These cutting marks may cause microcracks on the wafer surface, especially in the film layer, device area or the edge of the wafer. Microcracks may cause material failure or device malfunction, seriously affecting the product yield. When the edge roughness of the wafer is high, it may affect the subsequent packaging process. Especially in the semiconductor packaging process, the rough edges may make it difficult for the packaging material to adhere evenly, thereby affecting the strength, reliability and heat dissipation performance of the overall package.
[0004] 2. Wafer warping will cause the wafer to be unstable during subsequent processing, affecting the cutting accuracy. The unevenness of the wafer surface may cause the cutter's tool to not maintain uniform contact with the wafer surface during the cutting process, resulting in cutting errors, and even poor cutting quality and unnecessary defects. In addition, the wafer generates thermal stress due to uneven thermal expansion, which may cause cracks or fractures on the wafer surface, especially on thinner wafers. Wafer fractures caused by thermal stress will not only cause direct material losses, but may also cause the entire batch to be scrapped, resulting in significant production cost losses.

[0024] Summary 3: Compared with the wafer warping, breakage or dimensional deviation caused by thermal stress in the prior art, the friction disk 48 of the present invention diffuses or eliminates the locally accumulated heat through contact and friction with the tail end of the wafer during rotation, thereby maintaining the overall temperature of the wafer uniform; the contact action of the friction disk 48 can destroy the bubbles in the coolant generated by stirring or vibration, ensure that the coolant is in full contact with the wafer and the cutting blade, and improve the cooling efficiency; the friction action reduces the heat fluctuation and unstable factors at the tail end of the wafer, making the thickness and flatness of the wafer more uniform, enhancing the cutting accuracy, improving the smoothness of the cutting edge, and reducing microcracks or breakage; by removing bubbles and heat accumulation through the friction disk 48, the coolant can more effectively protect the cutting blade, reduce the wear of the blade caused by high temperature or dry friction, reduce the frequency of blade replacement, and save costs; the action of the friction disk 48 can disperse the residual bubbles and liquid on the surface of the wafer, and prevent the contaminants carried by the bubbles in the cutting liquid from adhering to the surface of the wafer; the friction disk 48 can polish the tail end of the wafer to a certain extent, reducing the surface roughness after cutting.
[0025] The complete working principle and steps of the above embodiment are as follows: Initial definition: First, the wafer is placed on the wafer fixture 12 to ensure that the wafer remains stable during the cutting process. At this time, the operator needs to calibrate the position of the wafer to ensure that the cutting path is accurately aligned with the marking line or designated area on the wafer.
[0026] Next, the spindle fixture 11 is started, driving the upper cutting blade 13 to move downward and rotate for cutting. The spindle fixture 11 provides strong torque and high-speed rotation to ensure that the cutting blade 13 remains stable and efficient during the cutting process. The cutting blade 13 is usually made of high-hardness materials such as diamond to ensure cutting accuracy and durability.
[0027] Subsequently, the cutting blade 13 slowly descends in the vertical direction and contacts the surface of the wafer. The cutting process is controlled by a numerical control system to ensure that the cutting blade 13 moves accurately along a preset path. During the cutting process, the cutting blade 13 cuts the wafer into a specified size or shape through its high-speed rotation. At the same time, the protective cover 14 covers the cutting blade 13, effectively preventing debris from splashing, and protecting the cutting blade 13 from external contamination, while improving the safety of the operation.
[0028] To prevent the high temperature generated by cutting from causing thermal damage to the wafer, coolant or air flow is introduced into the cutting area to help remove heat and cutting debris, thereby ensuring the smoothness of the cutting surface and the integrity of the wafer.
[0029] After the cutting is completed, the wafer fixture 12 positions the wafer to the pick-and-place area, and the operator or the automatic robot arm takes down the cut wafer for cleaning and subsequent processing; When using: Pre-cutting mechanism for pre-forming a tiny, regular crack or scratch path on the wafer surface by engraving an arc track 2 steps: like Figure 3 to Figure 4As shown, the operator starts the cross block 29 close to the reduction motor in one end of the inclined rod 28. The start of the reduction will drive the inclined rod 28 to rotate horizontally. The rotation of the inclined rod 28 will drive the double-headed rod 25, which is rotatably connected at one end, to deflect and rotate horizontally. Then, the horizontal deflection and rotation of the double-headed rod 25 will drive the upper rod 26 at its intersection to deflect and rotate horizontally. Secondly, the horizontal deflection and rotation of the double-headed rod 25 will also pull the bottom rod 23, which is rotatably connected at one end, to deflect and rotate horizontally. In this way, the horizontal deflection and rotation of the double-headed rod 25 and the bottom rod 23 will pull the universal ball 24 fixedly connected at their lower ends to drive the universal ball 24 to rotate inside. The connected engraving ball 210 is engraved on the outer wall of the spindle fixture 11 and the only trajectory is "similar to the shape of the '&' symbol, with the characteristics of a cross curve. Specifically, the motion trajectory is composed of a set of vertically symmetrical curves. The trajectory first moves upward and bends to the right, then bends downward near the intersection to form a closed curve, and then repeats a similar movement direction, and finally completes the entire complex path shape". At the same time, the horizontal deflection and rotation of the bottom rod 23 will also pull the long rod 22 connected to one end to deflect back and forth, so that the engraving path contains two vertically symmetrical curve rings and a central intersection, forming a complex cutting path with directionality and symmetry; Adsorption and separation mechanism for precise adhesion of cut chips to prevent them from falling off or sticking to the wafer. 3 steps: like Figures 5 and 6 As shown, when the long rod 22 deflects left and right to the outer wall of the block 312, the deflection of the long rod 22 will push the block 312 to slide inside the cavity plate 313, and then the sliding of the block 312 will drive the eccentric shaft 311 fixedly connected at one end to move synchronously. Since the eccentric shaft 311 is fixedly connected to the eccentric part of the longitudinal bevel gear 310, the movement of the eccentric shaft 311 will drive the longitudinal bevel gear 310 to rotate, and the transverse bevel gear 39 meshing with the longitudinal bevel gear 310 will rotate along with the longitudinal bevel gear 310. The rotation of the transverse bevel gear 39 will rotate synchronously, so the rotation of the transverse bevel gear 39 will drive the support shaft 38 fixedly connected at its lower end to rotate together, and the rotation of the support shaft 38 will pull the connecting shaft 37 fixedly connected at its bottom end to rotate together, so that as the connecting shaft 37 rotates, the sleeve shaft 36 will be pulled to drive the rotating shaft 35 and the protruding rod 33 to deflect up and down, so that the suction cup 315 initially attached to the outer wall of the spindle fixture 11 will separate, transfer and place the wafer covering the tail end of the spindle fixture 11 as the rotating shaft 35 deflects up and down; The friction foam mechanism adjusts the heat distribution on the wafer surface by friction to reduce cutting defects caused by local overheating. 4 steps: like Figures 7 and 8As shown, when the longitudinal bevel gear 310 rotates, the transmission belt 41 connected to the outer wall of one side thereof will rotate synchronously, and then the rotation of the transmission belt 41 will drive the crank 43 on the outer side of one end thereof to rotate, and the rotation of the crank 43 will pull the connecting rod 44 fixedly connected to one end thereof to rotate synchronously, so that the short rod 45 rotatably connected to one end of the connecting rod 44 will realize horizontal reciprocating swing along with the rotation of the connecting rod 44, and the horizontal reciprocating swing of the connecting rod 44 will drive the buckle 46 fixedly connected to one end thereof to reciprocate together, so that the friction blade 47 rotatably connected to the inner wall of the buckle 46 will push the friction disk 48 attached to the arc-shaped outer wall of the friction blade 47 to rotate intermittently along with the swing of the buckle 46, so that the wafer on the outer wall of the tail end of the main shaft clamp 11 that is in conflict is destroyed by the intermittent rotation of the friction disk 48, thereby destroying the bubbles generated by stirring or vibration in the coolant; Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
