There are multiple long strips arranged on the wafer, and multiple magnetic head units are arranged on each long strip. After multiple processing and testing steps, the wafer is finally separated into multiple independent magnetic head units.

[0018] The method for manufacturing a semiconductor wafer protective film of the present invention is further described below in conjunction with an embodiment, but the present invention is not limited thereby. The method of the present invention is intended to provide a method for manufacturing a semiconductor wafer protective film, which is simple and easy to implement, can efficiently produce a protective film, and when applied to a semiconductor wafer, can effectively reduce shock and prevent collision, thereby protecting the semiconductor wafer from damage during processing or transportation, ensuring its processing accuracy or quality, and ensuring its performance integrity.
[0019] In one embodiment of the method for manufacturing a semiconductor wafer protective film of the present invention, the method comprises the following steps:
[0020] forming a base film, the base film comprising a polyurethane material;
[0021] forming an intermediate layer film on the base film, the intermediate layer film comprising a polystyrene microbead material; and
[0022] A surface film is formed on the intermediate film, wherein the surface film comprises nano-aluminum oxide material.
[0023] In the method of the present invention, a bottom layer film of polyurethane material is first prepared, which has good softness and toughness; then, an intermediate layer film of polystyrene microbead material is formed on the bottom layer film, which has a shock-absorbing effect; then, a surface film of nano-alumina material is formed on the intermediate layer film, which has excellent corrosion resistance and wear resistance. Thus, the prepared protective film can be applied to the processing or transportation process of semiconductor wafers, thereby effectively alleviating the vibration and collision of semiconductor wafers during transportation and processing, reducing the risk of scratches and damage to semiconductor wafers, and improving manufacturing efficiency and quality. Moreover, the manufacturing method is simple, easy to operate, low-cost, and suitable for wide industrial applications.
[0024] Specifically, in a particular embodiment, first, a base film is formed. 50% of the polyurethane material is dispersed in a solvent for mixing, and the solvent can be selected from at least one of toluene, butyl acetate and butanone. The base film is formed by spray coating, such as spraying on a carrier or a main film layer, and then cured, such as by using an ultraviolet light device, to obtain the base film. It should be noted that after the base film is formed, the carrier can be removed, and if there is a main film layer, it and the main film layer are used as a constituent layer of the protective film.
[0025] Next, the polystyrene microbead material is dispersed in a solvent, and a commonly used solvent for polystyrene is a mixed solvent of toluene and xylene, for example, mixed in a ratio of 1:1 or 2:1, and then the mixed solvent is sprayed onto the surface of the bottom film, and after drying, an intermediate layer film is formed. Common drying methods may be air drying or oven drying.
[0026] Next, the nano-alumina material is mixed with a solvent to prepare a surface film solution, and the surface film solution is sprayed on the intermediate film, and the surface film is obtained after drying. Specifically, 50-70% of the nano-alumina material (usually with a diameter in the range of 0.5-5.0um) is dispersed in a solvent. Preferably, the solvent is at least one of dibutyl ether, methyl isobutyl ketone, propylene glycol methyl ether acetate and propylene glycol ethyl ether acetate. More preferably, the solvent also includes a dispersant and an anti-settling agent. The prepared surface film solution is sprayed on the intermediate film, and the surface film is obtained after drying.
[0027] In summary, in the method of the present invention, a bottom layer film of polyurethane material is first prepared, which has good softness and toughness; then, an intermediate layer film of polystyrene microbead material is formed on the bottom layer film, which has a shock-absorbing effect; then, a surface film of nano-alumina material is formed on the intermediate layer film, which has excellent corrosion resistance and wear resistance. Thus, the prepared protective film can be applied to the processing or transportation process of semiconductor wafers, thereby effectively alleviating the vibration and collision of semiconductor wafers during transportation and processing, reducing the risk of scratches and damage to semiconductor wafers, and improving manufacturing efficiency and quality. Moreover, the manufacturing method is simple, easy to operate, low-cost, and suitable for wide industrial applications.
