Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of laser cutting equipment, and particularly relates to a wafer laser cutting machine and a heterogeneous integrated wafer process parameter optimization method. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the rapid development of intelligent manufacturing, automotive electronics, artificial intelligence, 5G communication and the Internet of Things, integrated circuits as the core hardware of these industries, the market size and technical level are constantly improving. As a kind of integrated circuit, chip manufacturing has also become one of the rapidly developing industries.

[0003] Wafer cutting is a key process in chip manufacturing, and its technical precision and efficiency directly affect the performance and cost of chips. With the rapid development of semiconductor devices towards miniaturization and high integration, traditional mechanical blade cutting technology gradually faces bottlenecks: mechanical stress easily leads to wafer edge collapse or micro-cracks, especially for ultra-thin wafers (thickness less than 100 μm) or hard and brittle materials (such as SiC). Compared with mechanical cutting, the core of laser cutting is to use high-energy laser beams to precisely cut semiconductor wafers (such as silicon, silicon carbide, gallium nitride, etc.) to achieve chip separation or structured processing. Laser cutting mainly uses ultraviolet (UV) or ultrafast pulsed laser, which realizes material removal through photo-thermal or photo-chemical effect. Short wavelength (such as 355 nm ultraviolet laser) can realize smaller focused spot (micron level), and ultra-short pulse (<10 ps) can significantly reduce the heat affected zone (HAZ) by extremely high peak power to avoid thermal stress damage. In addition, laser cutting technology avoids the influence of mechanical stress on wafers through non-contact processing and high-precision energy control, reducing the generation of cracks and fragments.

[0004] However, the current laser cutting technology still needs to break through the following bottlenecks: 1. There is a contradiction between the processing precision and the processing efficiency of the wafer, and high-precision cutting needs to sacrifice cutting speed; 2. The process parameters need to be optimized when processing heterogeneous integrated wafers. Therefore, we propose a wafer laser cutting machine and a heterogeneous integrated wafer process parameter optimization method. SUMMARY

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0034] With reference to the accompanying drawings, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below, obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work belong to the protection scope of the present application.

[0035] In the present application, the terms of left, right, up, down, front, back and the like are established based on the positional relationship shown in the drawings, and the corresponding positional relationship may also change accordingly according to the different drawings, therefore, it cannot be understood as the absolute limitation to the protection scope.

[0036] Please refer to Figures 1 to 7 The embodiment provides a wafer laser cutting machine, which comprises a cutting platform 1, an industrial computer 8 and a laser 9. The Y-direction linear motor 5 is fixedly installed on the cutting platform 1. The clamp 4 is fixedly arranged on the Y-direction linear motor 5. The clamp 4 is used for clamping the wafer 13, so that the laser cutting head 3 can cut the wafer 13. The slider on the Y-direction linear motor 5 can drive the clamp 4 to reciprocate along the Y direction.

[0037] Specifically, one post 2 is arranged on each side of the Y-direction linear motor 5. The two posts 2 are fixedly arranged on the cutting platform 1, and the post 2 is made of marble. The X-direction linear motor 7 is fixedly installed on the two posts 2. The Z-direction linear motor 6 is fixedly installed on the X-direction linear motor 7. The laser cutting head 3 is fixedly installed on the Z-direction linear motor 6 through the bolt 10. The slider on the X-direction linear motor 7 can drive the Z-direction linear motor 6 to reciprocate along the X direction. The slider on the Z-direction linear motor 6 can drive the laser cutting head 3 to reciprocate along the Z direction. The laser cutting head 3 is electrically connected with the laser 9. The type of the laser 9 is collimation of 100 mm, and focusing is 125 mm. The laser 9 can emit infrared light with a wavelength of 1080 nm. In the embodiment, the light source used by the laser cutting head 3 is the infrared light with a wavelength of 1080 nm emitted by the laser 9. Compared with the yellow-green light cutting, the infrared light with a wavelength of 1080 nm can reach the best cutting threshold in a short time, and higher efficiency cutting can be realized by adjusting the pulse width of the laser 9. Compared with the traditional laser cutting machine, the time for cutting the wafer 13 with the same size can be shortened from several minutes to within one minute.

[0038] Specifically, the X linear motor 7, the Y linear motor 5 and the Z linear motor 6 are electrically connected with the industrial computer 8, the X linear motor 7, the Y linear motor 5 and the Z linear motor 6 work independently, and the industrial computer 8 can control the X linear motor 7, the Y linear motor 5 and the Z linear motor 6 to move along their respective directions. The industrial computer 8 adjusts the position of the laser cutting head 3 by controlling the movement of the X linear motor 7 and the Z linear motor 6, and adjusts the position of the clamp 4 (i.e. the position of the wafer 13) by controlling the movement of the Y linear motor 5. In this embodiment, the stroke of the X linear motor 7 is 0-300mm, the maximum stroke is 300mm, the positioning accuracy is ±0.003mm, and the repeat positioning accuracy is ±0.001mm; the stroke of the Y linear motor 5 is 0-300mm, the maximum stroke is 300mm, the positioning accuracy is ±0.003mm, and the repeat positioning accuracy is ±0.001mm; the stroke of the Z linear motor 6 is 0-300mm, the maximum stroke is 300mm, the positioning accuracy is ±0.02mm, and the repeat positioning accuracy is ±0.01mm.

[0039] Specifically, the wafer laser cutting machine is provided with the X linear motor 7, the Y linear motor 5 and the Z linear motor 6, and the three linear motors work independently, which can reduce the failure rate and increase the service life. The industrial computer 8 controls the movement of the three linear motors in their respective directions, the industrial computer 8 adjusts the position of the laser cutting head 3 by controlling the X linear motor 7 and the Z linear motor 6, and adjusts the position of the clamp 4 by controlling the Y linear motor 5. Through the cooperation of the X linear motor 7, the Y linear motor 5, the Z linear motor 6 and the industrial computer 8, the positioning accuracy and cutting accuracy of the laser cutting head 3 and the clamp 4 can be quickly realized, and the cutting efficiency of the wafer 13 can be greatly improved. In addition, the laser cutting head 3 uses infrared light with a wavelength of 1080nm to cut the wafer 13. Compared with the traditional laser cutting machine, the time for cutting the same size wafer 13 can be shortened from several minutes to within one minute, further improving the cutting efficiency.

[0040] Specifically, the clamp 4 includes two oppositely arranged cross beams 41, and the two cross beams 41 are slidingly arranged on the slide rail 11. The slide rail 11 is a high-precision linear guide rail with a plating layer on the surface to prevent wear. The slide rail 11 is fixedly arranged at the edge of the top end of the groove box 122 of the fixed seat 12, and the setting direction (i.e. the length direction of the slide rail 11) is the X direction. The cross beams 41 can freely reciprocate on the slide rail 11. By moving the cross beams 41, the size of the wafer 13 fixing area can be adjusted to adapt to wafers 13 of different sizes, such as 4 inches, 6 inches, 8 inches, etc. In this way, the clamp 4 can clamp wafers 13 of different sizes, and the laser cutting head 3 can cut wafers 13 of different sizes.

[0041] Specifically, the beam 41 has two driving modes on the slide rail 11, one is manual mode, and the other is electric mode. In the manual mode, the staff needs to increase the slide rail locking mechanism, which can use the commonly used slide rail locking mechanism, which will not be described in detail here. In operation, the staff loosens the slide rail locking mechanism, manually pushes the beam 41 to the target position, and then locks it again. In the electric mode, the beam 41 is driven to move on the slide rail 11 by a stepping motor or a servo motor, and then controlled by an industrial computer 8 to realize automatic adjustment. The corresponding driving structure can use the conventional one, which will not be described in detail here.

[0042] Specifically, the opposite side of each of the two beams 41 is fixedly provided with a plurality of clamping grooves 42, and the clamping grooves 42 are uniformly arranged. The clamping grooves 42 are used to fix the wafer 13. Rubber pads are arranged at the edges of the clamping grooves 42. When the clamp 4 clamps the wafer 13, the rubber pads can increase the contact area between the clamp 4 and the wafer 13, reduce stress concentration, avoid micro-cracks or breakage of the wafer 13 due to external force during the cutting process, and prevent unnecessary damage and destruction of the wafer 13.

[0043] Specifically, the fixed seat 12 is fixedly arranged on the Y-direction linear motor 5. The fixed seat 12 includes a receiving box 121, and the top of the receiving box 121 is open. A groove box 122 is fixedly arranged at the top end of the receiving box 121, and a plurality of grooves 123 are arranged on the groove box 122. The grooves 123 are connected with the inner cavity of the receiving box 121 through the groove box 122. The top end of part of the grooves 123 is provided with a stainless steel dome 124. That is, a proper amount of stainless steel domes 124 are placed on the grooves 123 below the cutting position of the wafer 13. The diameter of the stainless steel dome 124 is greater than the diameter of the groove 123. The stainless steel dome 124 can support the wafer 13. After the wafer 13 is cut, the cutting area and the edge of the wafer 13 are separated, and the stainless steel dome 124 supports the wafer 13 to prevent the wafer 13 from falling and breaking. During the entire cutting process of the wafer 13, after each cutting is completed, the corner scraps larger than the diameter of the groove 123 will fall on the top end of the groove box 122. These large corner scraps need to be cleaned manually. The corner scraps smaller than the diameter of the groove 123 will fall through the grooves 123 without the stainless steel dome 124 to the receiving box 121 for centralized treatment.

[0044] Specifically, each component of the wafer laser cutting machine can be disassembled and installed. In particular, the receiving box 121 can be disassembled and installed. When the receiving box 121 is used for a period of time, the staff disassembles the receiving box 121 to facilitate cleaning of the receiving box 121.

[0045] The embodiment also provides a method for optimizing process parameters of a heterogeneous integrated wafer, which uses the wafer laser cutting machine described above and takes a Si / GaN heterogeneous integrated wafer as an example and includes the following steps:

[0046] S1: According to the material properties of the Si / GaN heterogeneous integrated wafer, the laser parameters of the laser 9, the motion parameters of the laser cutting head 3 and the motion parameters of the clamp 4 are set on the industrial computer 8. The laser parameters of the laser 9 include wavelength, power and pulse width, the motion parameters of the laser cutting head 3 include cutting speed, cutting path and focusing height, and the motion parameters of the clamp 4 include moving speed.

[0047] S2: The key parameter combinations are screened by using the Taguchi method to design a multi-factor orthogonal experiment, and then the response surface method is used for fine optimization.

[0048] S3: For the Si / GaN heterogeneous integrated wafer, a simulation software is used to build a layered model, the temperature field distribution, the heat affected zone (HAZ) and the stress concentration area of the heterogeneous integrated wafer under different parameter combinations in step S2 are simulated through the simulation model, and high-risk parameter combinations, i.e. parameter combinations that do not meet the cutting quality evaluation indexes, are excluded.

[0049] S4: The heterogeneous integrated wafer under different parameter combinations in step S2 is trial-cut, the cutting appearance and composition change are analyzed through SEM / EDS, then the yield (greater than 99%) is counted, and the defect types (such as edge collapse, micro-cracks and interlayer peeling) are recorded. If the trial-cut result does not meet the cutting quality evaluation indexes, the parameters are optimized repeatedly by combining the trial-cut data and the simulation data, steps S2-S4, until the cutting quality evaluation indexes are met, and then the Si / GaN heterogeneous integrated wafer is formally cut; if the trial-cut result meets the cutting quality evaluation indexes, the heterogeneous integrated wafer is formally cut.

[0050] Specifically, the cutting quality evaluation indexes include surface quality, cutting efficiency and heat affected zone, the surface quality includes edge collapse width and crack depth, the edge collapse width is less than 20 μm, the crack depth is less than 1 μm, the cutting efficiency is less than 1 minute / piece per unit length of cutting time, and the range of the heat affected zone is less than 5 μm.

[0051] Specifically, in the embodiment, the process parameters optimized for the Si / GaN hetero-integrated wafer are used to cut the Si layer and the GaN layer by using different parameters. For the Si layer, high power (40 W), low speed (5 mm / s), and deep focusing (the laser cutting head 3 is moved down by the Z linear motor 6) are used for cutting; for the GaN layer, low power (25 W), high speed (10 mm / s), and shallow focusing (the laser cutting head 3 is moved up by the Z linear motor 6) are used for cutting. In addition, 1080 nm infrared laser is used in combination with picosecond-level pulse (<10 ps) and intermittent emission strategy to ensure that the material is fully cooled during the pulse interval, and the heat-affected zone (HAZ) is controlled within 3 μm (the HAZ of the traditional nanosecond laser is >10 μm). In addition, the gradual power or speed reduction cutting is used in the hetero-interface area (Si / GaN junction) to avoid stress concentration and cause delamination.

[0052] Specifically, the mapping relationship between the material properties of the wafer 13 and the process parameters established in the optimization process of the hetero-integrated wafer process parameter optimization method can be used to establish a material-process database. When cutting a new hetero-integrated wafer (such as gallium oxide), the database can recommend initial values based on similar material parameters, and the laser cutting machine can support one-key calling, thereby shortening the research and development cycle.

[0053] Specifically, the process parameter optimization method dynamically matches the laser parameters, motion parameters, and material properties, and realizes real-time collaborative adjustment and parameter linkage through the industrial computer 8, thereby significantly improving the processing efficiency and consistency of the hetero-integrated wafer.

[0054] The above embodiments only illustrate the basic principles and characteristics of the present application, but are not limited to the above embodiments. It should be understood that, for those skilled in the art, various changes and modifications can be made to the present application without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application, and these changes and modifications all fall within the scope of the present application. The scope of protection of the present application is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
