Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to a wafer composite film and a preparation method thereof, belonging to the technical field of semiconductor preparation. Background Art

[0002] Piezoelectric wafers such as lithium niobate or lithium tantalate have the advantages of high Curie temperature, strong spontaneous polarization, high electromechanical coupling coefficient, excellent electro-optic effect, etc., and are widely used in the fields of nonlinear optics, ferroelectricity, piezoelectricity, electro-optics, etc. In recent years, composite films on insulators have attracted the attention and emphasis of the industrial community. Its structure can be simply understood as a three-layer structure, including the top functional layer, the middle dielectric layer, and the semiconductor support substrate. The active layer can be a piezoelectric film such as lithium niobate and lithium tantalate. Currently, the methods for preparing lithium niobate or lithium tantalate piezoelectric composite films mainly include the ion beam separation method and the thinning and polishing method.

[0003] Among them, when preparing a composite film by the ion beam separation method, the bonded body after bonding the support substrate and the piezoelectric wafer after ion implantation needs to be annealed, so as to retain the thin film layer on the substrate layer to prepare a piezoelectric composite film. However, in the actual annealing process, since the piezoelectric wafer and the support substrate are usually heterogeneous materials and there are differences in the thermal expansion coefficients, warping of the bonded body occurs during the heating process, generating a large force on the piezoelectric film, which in turn causes the composite film to break, increasing the production cost of the composite film.

[0004] To solve this problem, Patent CN118969628A discloses a method for preparing a thin film wafer based on laser peeling of a heterogeneous substrate crystal film. It uses a laser to focus on the implantation stop layer of the lithium niobate thin film sheet, so that the implanted layer is quickly heated to achieve peeling. At the same time, the thin film wafer and the substrate material far from the implanted layer are slowly heated, simply and efficiently solving the problem of fragmentation caused by the overall heating of the bonded wafers, and realizing the complete peeling of the thin film under the condition that the thermal expansion coefficients of the substrate and the thin film are inconsistent. The applicant found that during the above laser peeling process, since the laser can cause the focused part to be quickly heated to achieve peeling, there is a situation where the top of the wafer implanted layer is peeled off but the bottom has not been peeled off during the laser scanning. This situation will introduce a large peeling stress, thereby reducing the yield of the composite film preparation. At the same time, the rapid heating of the laser makes the instantaneous temperature reach 400°C to 600°C. Since the thickness of the composite film is generally less than 2 μm and is very close to the bonding layer, it will cause the bonded body to be debonded, thus affecting the preparation of the composite film. Therefore, it is necessary to develop a new method for preparing a composite film to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To solve the above problems, a method for preparing a wafer composite film is provided. In this method, the injection layer of the bonded body is first heated by laser, so that tiny bubbles are formed between the thin film layer and the residual layer but do not detach. Then, it is peeled off by annealing treatment, which can effectively achieve the complete peeling of the composite film. The combination of laser and thermal annealing processes has high process stability, can greatly improve the yield of the composite film, and shorten the time cost of composite film processing.

[0006] According to one aspect of the present application, a method for preparing a wafer composite film is provided, including the steps of:

[0007] (1) Performing hydrogen ion or hydrogen-helium mixed ion implantation on a piezoelectric wafer to obtain an implanted wafer, where the implanted wafer sequentially includes a thin film layer, an injection layer, and a residual layer;

[0008] (2) Sequentially forming a defect layer and an isolation layer on a support substrate;

[0009] (3) Bonding the isolation layer with the thin film layer of the implanted wafer to obtain a bonded body;

[0010] (4) Heating the injection layer with a laser, and then performing annealing treatment on the bonded body. After polishing and cleaning, a wafer composite film is obtained. The wavelength of the laser is 100 - 700 nm, the power is 50 mw - 1 w, and the scanning speed is 10 - 50 mm / s.

[0011] After hydrogen ion or hydrogen-helium mixed ion implantation, a thin film layer, an injection layer, and a residual layer are formed. These two ions can reduce the lattice damage to the thin film layer and the total thickness deviation of the thin film layer, thereby improving the uniformity of the composite film; at the same time, they can also make the thickness of the injection layer moderate. In step (4), the injection layer is heated with a laser, and the core parameters such as the wavelength and power of the laser are precisely controlled, so that a large number of bubbles can be formed by the ions in the injection layer in a short time. Then, annealing treatment is performed on the bonded body to achieve the complete peeling of the thin film, and the stress of the thin film layer can also be reduced.

[0012] Optionally, the annealing treatment in step (4) is:

[0013] Primary annealing treatment: the temperature is 100 - 300 °C, and the annealing time is 1 min - 60 min;

[0014] Secondary annealing treatment: the temperature is 350 °C - 500 °C, and the annealing time is 1 - 8 h.

[0015] The above annealing treatment is carried out in two steps. The primary annealing can achieve the peeling of the thin film, and the secondary annealing can repair the lattice damage caused by ion implantation. And the above secondary heat treatment annealing can reduce the stress of the composite film and improve the quality of the composite film.

[0016] Optionally, the energy for hydrogen ion implantation in step (1) is 50 keV to 1000 keV, and the dose is 3×10 15 ions / cm 2 ~2×10 18 ions / cm 2 .

[0017] More preferably, the implantation can be carried out in 3 to 10 steps. The energy for each implantation remains unchanged, and the dose is evenly distributed according to the total required dose. For example, if the required implantation energy is 200 keV and the dose is 8×10 16 ions / cm 2 , when it is divided into 10 times of implantation, the energy for each implantation is 200 keV, and the dose is 8×10 15 ions / cm 2 . Multiple implantations will reduce the warping of the wafer during the ion implantation process and improve the uniformity of the thin film; during the ion implantation process, the ion beam is sprayed with the particle beam generated by the shower head to reduce the surface particles of the implanted wafer.

[0018] The greater the energy of hydrogen ion implantation, the deeper the depth of the implanted layer, and vice versa, the shallower the depth of the implanted layer.

[0019] Optionally, when performing hydrogen-helium mixed ion implantation in step (1), the ratio of hydrogen ions to helium ions is 1:(2 - 5).

[0020] Under this setting, the total ion dose required for implantation can be significantly reduced, and the temperature required for annealing can also be reduced.

[0021] Preferably, the energy for hydrogen-helium mixed ion implantation is 50 keV to 1000 keV, and the dose is 3×10 15 ions / cm 2 ~8×10 16 ions / cm 2 .

[0022] More preferably, the implantation can be carried out in 3 to 10 steps. The energy for each implantation remains unchanged, and the dose is evenly distributed according to the total required dose. For example, if the required implantation energy is 150 keV and the dose is 6×10 15 ions / cm 2 , when it is divided into 3 times of implantation, the energy for each implantation is 150 keV, and the dose is 2×10 15 ions / cm 2 . Multiple implantations will reduce the warping of the wafer during the ion implantation process and improve the uniformity of the thin film; during the ion implantation process, the ion beam is sprayed with the particle beam generated by the shower head to reduce the surface particles of the implanted wafer.

[0023] Similarly, the greater the energy of the hydrogen-helium mixed ion implantation, the deeper the depth of the implanted layer; conversely, the shallower the depth of the implanted layer. With this setting, the depth of the implanted layer can be made appropriate, facilitating the peeling of the thin film layer and the residual layer, so as to obtain a composite film with complete peeling and more stable performance.

[0024] The energy of ion implantation also affects the thickness of the thin film layer. The greater the implantation energy, the greater the thickness of the thin film layer; the smaller the implantation energy, the smaller the thickness of the thin film layer. With the above settings, the thickness of the thin film layer can be within the range of 100 nm to 3000 nm to meet the usage requirements of the composite film.

[0025] Optionally, the thickness of the thin film layer is 100 nm to 3000 nm, the surface roughness of the thin film layer is less than 0.5 nm, and the warpage and curvature of the composite film are less than 20 μm.

[0026] Optionally, the material of the isolation layer is at least one of silicon dioxide, silicon oxynitride, and silicon nitride, the thickness of the isolation layer is 100 nm to 5000 nm, and the surface roughness of the isolation layer is less than 1 nm.

[0027] Optionally, the material of the defect layer is at least one of polysilicon, amorphous silicon, and polycrystalline germanium, and the thickness of the defect layer is 100 nm to 3000 nm.

[0028] Optionally, the piezoelectric wafer is one of lithium niobate, lithium tantalate, quartz, lithium tetraborate, and lanthanum gallium silicate;

[0029] The support substrate is at least one of sapphire, silicon, silicon carbide, quartz, diamond, gallium nitride, and gallium arsenide, preferably silicon.

[0030] Optionally, the initial thickness of the piezoelectric wafer and the support substrate is 100 μm to 1000 μm, and the diameter of the piezoelectric wafer and the support substrate is 3 inches to 12 inches.

[0031] Preferably, the thickness of the support substrate is 625 μm.

[0032] Optionally, the defect layer is formed by a deposition method, and the isolation layer is formed by a deposition method or an oxidation method. The formation method of the deposition method is not limited and can be chemical vapor deposition (CVD), physical vapor deposition (PVD), magnetron sputtering, etc.

[0033] According to another aspect of the present application, there is provided a wafer composite film prepared by the preparation method of the wafer composite film described in any one of the above.

[0034] The beneficial effects of the present application include but are not limited to:

[0035] 1. In the method for preparing a wafer composite film according to the present application, the injection layer is preliminarily heated by laser, during which the support substrate and the piezoelectric wafer are not heated. Then, the overall bonded body is subjected to annealing heat treatment, which can avoid the fracture of the composite film caused by the difference in thermal expansion coefficients between the piezoelectric wafer and the support substrate during annealing separation, improve the yield rate of the piezoelectric composite film, and reduce the production cost of the composite film. Moreover, it can avoid the debonding of the bonded body caused by too high laser temperature, thereby improving the yield rate of the composite film.

[0036] 2. In the method for preparing a wafer composite film according to the present application, by controlling the wavelength, power, and scanning speed of the laser to heat the injection layer, it can ensure that tiny bubbles are uniformly arranged on the surface where the injection layer contacts the film layer and the residual layer, laying a foundation for subsequent annealing heat treatment. In the subsequent annealing heat treatment, the annealing time can be reduced, greatly shortening the time cost, and at the same time improving the uniformity of the film.

[0037] 3. In the method for preparing a wafer composite film according to the present application, by using hydrogen ions or a hydrogen-helium mixed ion for ion implantation to obtain an implanted wafer, the total ion dose required for implantation can be significantly reduced, and the temperature required for annealing can be reduced.

[0038] 4. In the method for preparing a wafer composite film according to the present application, annealing is used in the annealing heat treatment to achieve the peeling of the film and repair the lattice damage caused by ion implantation. The temperature of the first annealing is 100 - 300 °C to achieve the peeling of the film, and the temperature of the second annealing is 350 - 500 °C to repair the lattice damage caused by ion implantation. Moreover, the above two-step heat treatment annealing can reduce the stress of the composite film and improve the quality of the composite film.

[0039] 5. In the method for preparing a wafer composite film according to the present application, the ratio, energy, and dose of the hydrogen-helium mixed ion can make the depth of the injection layer appropriate, so as to facilitate the peeling of the film layer and the residual layer, in order to obtain a composite film with complete peeling and more stable performance.
