In the backside metallization process of a wafer with a carbon-containing substrate (such as a silicon carbide (SiC) substrate), an annealing process needs to be performed on the backside of the wafer. During the annealing process, carbon (C) powder inevitably precipitates on the backside of the carbon-containing substrate wafer.
[0003] However, during the annealing process, an inert gas (such as nitrogen (N2)) needs to be introduced into the annealing equipment to prevent oxidation of the backside metal of the wafer at high temperatures. The introduced inert gas will cause the precipitated carbon (C) powder on the backside of the wafer to be carried by the gas flow to the front side of the wafer, thereby causing device contamination problems on the front side of the wafer.

During the process of performing the backside metallization process on the backside of the carbon-containing substrate, the barrier film can block the carbon (C) powder precipitated from the carbon-containing substrate during the annealing process, so that the carbon powder carried by the inert gas flow to the front side of the carbon-containing substrate during the annealing process can only adhere to the surface of the barrier film to protect the front-side semiconductor device from carbon powder contamination.

Therefore, without departing from the teachings of this application, the first element, component, region, layer, doping type, or part discussed below can be referred to as the second element, component, region, layer, or part.
[0037] As used herein, the singular forms "a", "an", and "the" may also include the plural forms unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. It should also be understood that when the terms "comprise" and / or "include" are used in this specification, the presence of the stated features, integers, steps, operations, elements, and / or components can be determined, but one or more other features, integers, steps, operations, elements, components, and / or groups are not excluded. At the same time, as used herein, the term "and / or" includes any and all combinations of the related listed items.
[0038] Embodiments of the invention are described herein with reference to cross-sectional views that are schematic illustrations of ideal embodiments (and intermediate structures) of the present application, such that variations in the shapes shown are to be expected for example due to manufacturing techniques and / or tolerances. Embodiments of the present application should not be limited to the specific shapes of the regions shown herein, but include shape deviations due to for example manufacturing techniques. Accordingly, the regions shown in the figures are substantially schematic, their shapes do not represent the actual shapes of the regions of the device, and do not limit the scope of the present application.
[0039] Embodiments of the present application provide a method for manufacturing a semiconductor chip, which can protect the front side of the wafer from carbon powder and avoid the problem of impurity contamination on the front side of the wafer for the phenomenon of carbon powder precipitation on the back side of the wafer during the annealing process.
[0040] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 1 , the method for manufacturing a semiconductor chip includes the following steps S100 to S400.
[0041] S100, provide a carbon-containing substrate; a plurality of semiconductor devices are formed on the front side of the carbon-containing substrate.
[0042] S200, form a barrier film on the front side of the carbon-containing substrate; the barrier film covers at least each semiconductor device and the front side of the carbon-containing substrate.
[0043] S300, perform a backside metallization process on the back side of the carbon-containing substrate facing away from the semiconductor devices; the backside metallization process includes at least an annealing process.
[0044] S400, remove the barrier film.
[0045] In embodiments of the present application, by forming a barrier film on the front side of the carbon-containing substrate of the wafer, the barrier film covers the front side of the carbon-containing substrate and the semiconductor devices located on the front side of the carbon-containing substrate. During the process of performing the backside metallization process on the back side of the carbon-containing substrate, the barrier film can form a barrier to the carbon (C) powder precipitated from the carbon-containing substrate during the annealing process, so that the carbon powder brought to the front side of the carbon-containing substrate by the inert gas flow during the annealing process can only adhere to the surface of the barrier film, to protect the front-side semiconductor devices from carbon powder contamination. And, after the backside metallization process, the carbon powder adhering to the surface of the barrier film can be removed together with the barrier film. Under the combined action of the above technical features, embodiments of the present application can form a barrier protection for the front side of the carbon-containing substrate of the wafer and the semiconductor devices through the barrier film, effectively avoiding the problem of impurity contamination on the front side of the wafer caused by the carbon (C) powder precipitation phenomenon during the annealing process. Thus, not only can the yield of semiconductor chip products be guaranteed, but also the defect detection accuracy of subsequent product measurement can be improved.
[0046] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 2, for example, after step S400, the method for manufacturing a semiconductor chip further includes the following step S500.
[0047] S500, perform a dicing process on the obtained structure after removing the barrier film to obtain a plurality of independent semiconductor chips; each semiconductor chip includes at least one semiconductor device.
[0048] It can be understood that the removal of the barrier film is required before the wafer dicing process to facilitate the wafer dicing process. In the embodiments of the present application, since the wafer dicing process is performed after the annealing process in the backside metallization process, the barrier film can be retained on the surface of the carbon-containing substrate until after the annealing process is completed and then removed, so that the barrier film can play a role in blocking carbon (C) powder on the front side of the wafer during the annealing process, effectively avoiding the problem of impurity contamination on the front side of the wafer.
[0049] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 , step S200 includes the following steps S210 to S220.
[0050] S210, provide a barrier film.
[0051] S220, adopt a film pasting process to attach the barrier film to the front side of the carbon-containing substrate.
[0052] In some embodiments, the barrier film is attached to the front side of the carbon-containing substrate through a photosensitive adhesive.
[0053] In the embodiments of the present application, by adopting a film pasting process to attach the barrier film to the front side of the carbon-containing substrate, compared with chemical processes such as coating glue, the front side of the wafer can be covered with a film without affecting the performance of the semiconductor devices on the front side of the wafer.
[0054] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 4 , after step S200 and before step S300, the method for manufacturing a semiconductor chip further includes the following step S600.
[0055] S600, perform a backside thinning process on the back side of the carbon-containing substrate to thin the carbon-containing substrate to a target thickness.
[0056] In some embodiments, the barrier film is reused as a polishing protection film in the backside thinning process.
[0057] In the embodiments of the present application, the carbon-containing substrate is thinned to a target thickness through the backside thinning process of the wafer to meet the requirements of the thin packaging of the wafer, and can improve the wafer heat dissipation efficiency in subsequent processes, reduce the on-resistance of the vertical conduction devices in the wafer and the volume of the semiconductor devices, thereby facilitating the miniaturization of the semiconductor chip.
[0058] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 5 , step S300 includes the following steps:
[0059] S310, perform surface pretreatment on the back surface of the carbon-containing substrate.
[0060] S320, form an ohmic metal seed layer on the back surface of the carbon-containing substrate.
[0061] S330, perform an annealing process on the ohmic metal seed layer to form an ohmic metal layer.
[0062] In some embodiments, the annealing process includes a laser annealing process.
[0063] In the embodiments of the present application, surface contaminants on the back surface of the carbon-containing substrate are removed through surface pretreatment, and surface activation treatment is performed to facilitate improving the adhesion of the ohmic metal material in the subsequent ohmic metal seed layer formation process. After the ohmic metal seed layer is formed, an annealing process is adopted, which can promote atomic diffusion between the ohmic metal seed layer material and the semiconductor interface, thereby forming a low-resistance ohmic contact.
[0064] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 6 , step S400 includes the following steps S410 to S420.
[0065] S410, irradiate the barrier film with ultraviolet light.
[0066] S420, remove the barrier film by using a film tearing process.
[0067] In the embodiments of the present application, the adhesive between the barrier film and the carbon-containing substrate can be softened or expanded under the action of ultraviolet (UV) irradiation, thereby reducing the adhesion between the barrier film and the surface of the carbon-containing substrate, and thus facilitating the peeling of the barrier film through the film tearing process. In this way, the carbon powder can be removed together with the barrier film without damaging the semiconductor device, and the problem of residual glue after film removal can be avoided by using ultraviolet (UV) irradiation and the film tearing process, effectively avoiding impurity contamination on the front side of the wafer.
[0068] It should be understood that although Figures 1 - 6 the steps in the flowchart of Figures 1 - 6At least some of the steps may include multiple steps or multiple stages, which do not necessarily need to be executed and completed at the same time, but can be executed at different times, and the execution order of these steps or stages does not necessarily need to be sequential, but can be executed alternately or in turn with at least some of the steps or stages in other steps or other steps.
[0069] To more clearly illustrate the manufacturing method of the semiconductor chip in some of the above embodiments, the following embodiments are to be understood in conjunction with Figures 7 - 13 this.
[0070] In some embodiments, the manufacturing method of the semiconductor chip C includes the following steps S100 to S400.
[0071] In step S100, please refer to Figure 7 , provide a carbon-containing substrate 1; a plurality of semiconductor devices 2 are formed on the front surface of the carbon-containing substrate 1.
[0072] In some examples, the carbon-containing substrate 1 may be a carbon-containing wafer, for example, it may be a silicon carbide (SiC) wafer.
[0073] Exemplarily, the plurality of semiconductor devices 2 are arranged at intervals on the front surface of the carbon-containing substrate 1.
[0074] In some examples, the semiconductor device 2 includes, but is not limited to, a junction barrier Schottky diode (Junction Barrier Schottky, abbreviated as JBS).
[0075] It should be noted that in a junction barrier Schottky diode (JBS) device, there is no gate electrode and metal contact layer. Its front metal layer is directly in contact with the active region (AA) of the carbon-containing substrate 1 (such as a silicon carbide substrate); and, the outer contour shape of the grain boundary of the front metal layer (such as an aluminum layer) in the junction barrier Schottky diode (JBS) device is fuller than that of the front metal layer grain boundary of a metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) device. For the above reasons, impurities (such as carbon powder) are more likely to form residues on the surface of the JBS device and have an adverse effect on the front metal layer. Therefore, the JBS device is more vulnerable to impurity (such as carbon powder) contamination than the MOS device. By adopting the manufacturing method of the semiconductor chip C provided in the embodiments of the present application, the problem of impurity contamination on the surface of the junction barrier Schottky diode (JBS) device can be effectively avoided.
[0076] In step S200, please refer to Figure 8 , form a barrier film 3 on the front surface of the carbon-containing substrate 1; the barrier film 3 covers at least each semiconductor device 2 and the front surface of the carbon-containing substrate 1.
[0077] Exemplarily, the material of the barrier film 3 includes, but is not limited to, polymer films such as polyimide (PI), polyester (PET), or polyolefin (such as LDPE).
[0078] Exemplarily, the thickness of the barrier film 3 ranges from 50 μm to 150 μm. For example, the thickness of the barrier film 3 can be 50 μm, 80 μm, 100 μm, 120 μm, 140 μm, or 150 μm, etc.
[0079] Here, the thickness of the barrier film 3 refers to the dimension of the barrier film 3 in the direction perpendicular to the carbon-containing substrate 1.
[0080] It should be noted that the barrier film 3 covers the top surface of each semiconductor device 2 facing away from the carbon-containing substrate 1 in the direction perpendicular to the surface of the carbon-containing substrate 1 and the opposite side walls in the direction parallel to the surface of the carbon-containing substrate 1.
[0081] Exemplarily, the temperature resistance range of the barrier film 3 includes 100 °C to 150 °C; for example, the temperature resistance value of the barrier film 3 can be 100 °C, 110 °C, 115 °C, 120 °C, 130 °C, 140 °C, or 150 °C, etc.
[0082] It should be noted that the "temperature resistance range of the barrier film 3" means: the temperature range that the barrier film 3 can withstand on the premise that the performance (such as isolation and protection performance) of the barrier film 3 does not degrade.
[0083] In some embodiments, step S200 includes the following steps S210 to S220.
[0084] In step S210, provide the barrier film 3.
[0085] Exemplarily, the thickness range of the barrier film 3 includes 180 μm to 230 μm.
[0086] Exemplarily, the thickness value of the barrier film 3 can be 180 μm, 190 μm, 200 μm, 210 μm, 220 μm, or 230 μm, etc.
[0087] It should be noted that the barrier film 3 provided in step S210 can be a finished film.
[0088] In step S220, please continue to refer to Figure 8 , and adopt a film laminating process to attach the barrier film 3 to the front side of the carbon-containing substrate 1.
[0089] Exemplarily, the barrier film 3 completely covers the front side of the carbon-containing substrate 1 without exceeding the edge of the carbon-containing substrate 1.
[0090] In some embodiments, the barrier film 3 can be attached to the front side of the carbon-containing substrate 1 through a photosensitive adhesive.
[0091] Exemplarily, the adhesives used in the film laminating process include, but are not limited to, ultraviolet (UV) curable adhesives, etc.
[0092] In some embodiments, after step S200 and before step S300, the manufacturing method of the semiconductor chip C further includes the following step S600.
[0093] In step S600, please refer to Figure 9 , a back thinning process is performed on the back side of the carbon-containing substrate 1 to thin the carbon-containing substrate 1 to a target thickness.
[0094] Exemplarily, the back thinning process includes, but is not limited to, a grinding process. The back thinning process can be, for example, a Mechanical Grinding process or a Chemical Mechanical Planarization (CMP) process, etc.
[0095] In some embodiments, the barrier film 3 is reused as a grinding protection film in the back thinning process.
[0096] It should be noted that during the back thinning process, the barrier film 3 can protect the semiconductor device 2 on the front side of the wafer from being damaged by the grinding process, and effectively prevent the wafer surface from cracking and chipping during grinding, ensuring the integrity of the wafer in the back thinning process.
[0097] In step S300, a back metallization process is performed on the back side of the carbon-containing substrate 1 that faces away from the semiconductor device 2; the back metallization process includes at least an annealing process.
[0098] In some embodiments, step S300 includes the following steps:
[0099] In step S310, the back side of the carbon-containing substrate 1 is subjected to a surface pretreatment.
[0100] In some examples, the surface pretreatment process includes a surface cleaning process and a surface activation process, etc.
[0101] Exemplarily, the surface cleaning process can be, for example, an industrial standard wet cleaning (RCA) process, etc.
[0102] Exemplarily, the surface cleaning process can be carried out using a SEZ device.
[0103] In step S320, please refer to Figure 10 , an ohmic metal seed layer 4 is formed on the back side of the carbon-containing substrate 1.
[0104] In some examples, the forming process of the ohmic metal seed layer 4 includes, but is not limited to, a sputtering process and the like.
[0105] It should be noted that in the sputtering process of the ohmic metal seed layer 4, the maximum temperature of the cumulative temperature effect is less than or equal to 100 °C. Since the temperature resistance range of the barrier film 3 used in the embodiments of the present application includes 100 °C to 150 °C, the barrier film 3 will not be affected by temperature during the sputtering process of the ohmic metal seed layer 4, ensuring the protection function of the barrier film 3 for the carbon-containing substrate 1 and the semiconductor device 2.
[0106] In step S330, please refer to Figure 11 , an annealing process is performed on the ohmic metal seed layer 4 to form an ohmic metal layer 5.
[0107] In some embodiments, the annealing process includes, but is not limited to, a laser annealing process and the like.
[0108] In some embodiments, the annealing equipment used in the annealing process includes a nanosecond laser and the like.
[0109] It should be noted that during the annealing process of the nanosecond laser, instantaneous high temperature can be generated and there is no cumulative temperature effect. Therefore, using a nanosecond laser for the laser annealing process can perform the annealing treatment of the ohmic metal seed layer 4 without affecting the performance of the barrier film 3.
[0110] In step S400, please refer to Figure 12 , the barrier film 3 is removed.
[0111] In some embodiments, step S400 includes the following steps S410 to S420.
[0112] In step S410, the barrier film 3 is irradiated with ultraviolet (UV) light.
[0113] It should be noted that during the process of irradiating the barrier film 3 with ultraviolet (UV) light, the irradiation amount of the ultraviolet (UV) light will increase with the irradiation time until it reaches the target threshold. Among them, the irradiation amount refers to the product of the light intensity and the irradiation time.
[0114] Exemplarily, the value range of the target threshold includes 200 J / cm 2 ~500 J / cm 2 .
[0115] Exemplarily, the value of the target threshold can be, for example, 200 J / cm 2 , 250 J / cm 2 , 300 J / cm 2 , 350 J / cm 2, 400 J / cm 2 , 450 J / cm 2 or 500 J / cm 2 etc.
[0116] In step S420, please continue to refer to Figure 12 , and use the film tearing process to remove the barrier film 3.
[0117] Exemplarily, the specific process of using the film tearing process to remove the barrier film 3 can be: transporting the carbon-containing substrate 1 through the transfer arm of the machine tool to place it on the film tearing table, and making the film tearing table vacuum-adsorb the carbon-containing substrate 1; pressing one end of the heat-sealing film against one end of the barrier film 3 by the hot pressing head of the machine tool, and at the same time, the film tearing arm of the machine tool clamps the other end of the barrier film 3, so as to peel off the barrier film 3 on the surface of the carbon-containing substrate 1 through the relative movement of the film tearing table and the film tearing arm.
[0118] In some embodiments, for example, after step S400, the manufacturing method of the semiconductor chip C further includes the following step S500.
