Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of wafer fabrication, and in particular to a method and system for double-sided wafer thinning. Background Technology
[0002] In the double-sided thinning equipment, the wafer is placed vertically on a ring-shaped carrier, which is positioned between two substrates. Fluid is supplied to both sides of the wafer through the substrates to balance the wafer pressure, causing the wafer and the carrier to rotate together. At the same time, grinding wheels located on both sides of the wafer grind the two surfaces of the wafer. During the grinding process, the two grinding wheels are fed axially until the wafer reaches the thickness required by the process.
[0003] In the existing technology, grinding wheels on both sides of the wafer act on the wafer. As the wafer continues to be ground, it becomes thinner, forming a large gap between the wafer and the substrate.

[0046] This application provides a method and system for double-sided thinning of a 400 wafer, which improves the centering effect of the 400 wafer by controlling liquid compensation and tilt angle compensation.
[0047] To better understand the above technical solutions, a detailed description of the technical solutions will be provided below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of this application and are not intended to limit the scope of this application.
[0048] This application provides a method for double-sided thinning of a 400mm wafer, applied to a double-sided thinning apparatus, such as... Figures 1-3 As shown, the double-sided thinning apparatus includes: a substrate assembly 100, a support assembly 200, a grinding wheel assembly 300, and a drive assembly (not shown). The substrate assembly 100 includes two sets of substrates 110, which are arranged opposite each other. The support assembly 200 includes a carrier ring 210 and a support member 220. The carrier ring 210 is used to support the wafer 400 and is disposed between the two sets of substrates 110. The support member 220 is used to support the carrier ring 210. 10, so that the carrier ring 210 and the wafer 400 can be vertically arranged between the two sets of substrates 110, and the support member 220 can be rotated so that the carrier ring 210 can rotate while being supported by the support member 220; the grinding wheel assembly 300 includes grinding wheels 310, which have two sets, and the two sets of grinding wheels 310 are respectively arranged on both sides of the carrier ring 210 so that the grinding wheels 310 can act on the wafer 400 along the axial direction to perform grinding; the driving assembly is used to drive the carrier ring 210 and the wafer 400 to rotate.
[0049] It should be noted that the substrate assembly 100, the carrier assembly 200, the grinding wheel assembly 300, and the drive assembly are all existing double-sided thinning structures, and will not be described in detail in this embodiment.
[0050] Among them, such as Figure 2 , 3As shown, a liquid supply port 120 is provided on the substrate 110 for supplying liquid to the wafer 400 to support the wafer 400; a distance sensor 130 is provided on the substrate 110 for detecting the offset of the wafer 400; specifically, the liquid supply port 120 is used to connect to an external liquid supply source, such as a water tank, and a water pump supplies liquid from the water tank to the liquid supply port 120 so that the liquid flows out from the liquid supply port 120 to support the wafer 400; in one embodiment, multiple liquid supply ports 120 can be provided on each substrate 110; the distance sensor 130 can be a pneumatic gauge, and a pneumatic gauge detection port is provided on the substrate 110 to detect the position of the wafer 400; in one embodiment, multiple pneumatic gauges (distance sensors) can be provided on each substrate 110.
[0051] Based on the aforementioned double-sided thinning equipment, this embodiment proposes the following method: (e.g., ...) Figure 4 As shown, S1.1: Obtain the pressure change ΔP, wafer position offset Δx, and wafer position offset rate between the substrate 110 and the wafer 400; S1.2: Establish a first compensation function model of the pressure change ΔP and wafer position offset Δx between the substrate 110 and the wafer 400 with respect to the liquid compensation amount Q; S1.3: Adjust the liquid compensation amount Q of the liquid supply port 120 based on the first compensation function model to center the wafer 400.
[0052] In other words, the fluid compensation amount Q is calculated based on the pressure change ΔP and the wafer position offset Δx. Q is related to ΔP and Δx, and by simultaneously solving the correlation functions, the parameters required to achieve dynamic fluid compensation can be calculated. It should be noted that real-time monitoring of changes in ΔP and Δx, and dynamic adjustment of fluid flow rate and pressure based on the calculation results, are necessary to achieve accurate fluid compensation.
[0053] The first compensation function model is:
[0054]
[0055] Among them, K r It is the proportionality constant of Δx;
[0056] K p This is a control coefficient used to adjust pressure changes;
[0057] K x These are control coefficients used to adjust wafer position offset;
[0058] K dx This is a control coefficient used to adjust the wafer position offset rate.
[0059] In one embodiment, a pneumatic gauge monitors the distance between wafer 400 and substrate 110 in real time, with three monitoring points on each side, resulting in a total of six raw data points. The wafer position offset Δx at each pneumatic gauge monitoring port is recorded.ij (i=1, 2, 3, j=1, 2, 3)=x 基ij -x 加ij j1, j2, and j3 correspond to the values at the tool receiving position, the start of the fine grinding stage, and the start of the finishing grinding stage, respectively.
[0060] By fitting the above 9 data points to a curve, the overall wafer 400 skew state and wafer position offset Δx were obtained; Δx was sampled every 1 second. ij The wafer position offset rate is obtained by fitting the values from the grinding stage. Record the pressure P for each manual adjustment. ij (i = 1-8 corresponds to 8 liquid supply ports 120, j = 1, 2, corresponding to two substrates 110), the weighted average of each group of data is obtained. (Ps is the standard value of 0.2 MPa).
[0061] The above Δx, The ΔP value is recorded in the first compensation function model. In the middle, at the same time K r Use 1 / 2 as a trial value to verify the deviation between subsequent data and the model, and continuously try different values for K. r After obtaining a more accurate value, the steepest gradient is confirmed for K. p K x K dx With the control coefficients set, the first compensation function model is now complete.
[0062] Data fitting:
[0063] Offset data is directly read and calculated through each pneumatic gauge monitoring port; for data from three monitoring points in the same stage (e.g., the tool engagement stage), a cubic polynomial fitting is used to obtain the overall offset function Δx. j (t), where t is time. For example, the offset function during the tool engagement stage can be expressed as:
[0064] Δx1(t)=a1t 3 +b1t 2 +c1t+d1
[0065] The coefficients a1, b1, c1, and d1 are determined by least squares fitting.
[0066] Offset rate calculation:
[0067] The rate of change of the offset is obtained by taking the derivative of the fitting function with respect to time:
[0068]
[0069] For example, in the fine grinding stage (j=2), if the fitting result is Δx2(t) = 0.02t 3 -0.5t 2 +3t, then the speed is:
[0070]
[0071] Pressure deviation calculation:
[0072] In one embodiment, pressure data P is collected from eight water support ports. ij (i = 1-8 correspond to 8 liquid supply ports 120, j = 1, 2, corresponding to two substrates 110), calculate the weighted average:
[0073]
[0074] Where the weight w i The weighting is set according to the symmetry of the support locations (e.g., the weight of the central support location is 0.3, and the weight of the edge support location is 0.1); the pressure deviation is:
[0075]
[0076] The first compensation function model is:
[0077]
[0078] Initial trial value: Set K r =0.5, other coefficients K p =K x =K dx =1.
[0079] Gradient descent optimization:
[0080] Define the loss function: L = ∑(Q) 实际 -Q 模型 ) 2 Calculate the partial derivatives of the loss with respect to each coefficient: Similarly, calculate
[0081] Update coefficients: Where α is the learning rate (e.g., α = 0.01); iterate until the loss function converges, such as L < 10. -4 .
[0082] For example:
[0083] Assume that a certain monitoring data is ΔP = 0.05 MPa and Δx = 0.8 μm. The model output with initial coefficients is: Q 模型 = 1 × 0.05 + 1 × 0.8 0.5+1×0.2=1.144;
[0084] If the actual compensation amount Q 实际 If the value is 1.5, then the loss is L = (1.5 - 1.144). 2 =0.127; by iteratively adjusting the coefficients through gradient descent, K is finally obtained after optimization. p =2.1,K x =1.6,K dx =0.5.
[0085] However, due to limitations in the mechanical structure, when the Q adjustment is small (Q≤θ), liquid compensation can meet the wafer 400 attitude adjustment requirements; but when Q≥θ, it is necessary to combine it with the tilt compensation of the grinding wheel 310.
[0086] By combining the Wrap3D image (to view the simulated overall morphology of wafer 400), PV curve and values (to view the degree and amplitude of unevenness in the Center-mark and B-ring areas, the uniformity and values of the overall PV curve), and BOW curve and values (to view how wafer 400 bends at the overall level) obtained on the testing equipment, and by comprehensively combining the current monitoring data on both sides of the grinding wheel 310 during each grinding cycle and the tooth consumption data of the grinding wheel 310, the minute horizontal angle of the two sides of the grinding wheel 310 and the micron-level left and right movement of the grinding wheel 310 tool engagement position in the axial direction can be adjusted to achieve precise adjustment of the upright state of wafer 400 during grinding and the degree of wafer 400 warpage, thereby controlling the wafer 400 parameters.
[0087] Furthermore, the grinding wheel 310 can rotate vertically and horizontally, allowing the grinding wheel 310 to be angled relative to the wafer 400; in other words, the grinding wheel 310 is adjustable relative to the wafer 400, so that the wafer 400 can be aligned and centered through the adjustment of the grinding wheel 310's position. Figure 5 As shown, the method further includes: S2.1: acquiring the surface morphology parameters of the previous wafer and the grinding wheel wear data; wherein, the wafer surface morphology parameters include the PV curve and BOW value; S2.2: establishing a second compensation function model of the surface morphology parameters of the previous wafer and the grinding wheel wear data with respect to the tilt angle compensation amount W; S2.3: adjusting the tilt angle compensation amount W of the grinding wheel 310 based on the second compensation function model to center the wafer 400.
[0088] The second compensation function model is:
[0089]
[0090] Among them, PV rms It is the root mean square of the peak and valley values in the PV curve, reflecting the microscopic unevenness of the wafer 400 surface; K PVThese are their corresponding control coefficients; ΔPV1 is the maximum amplitude of the Center-mark in PV, and ΔPV2 is the maximum amplitude of the B-ring in PV; K1 and K2 are their corresponding control coefficients; ΔB is the BOW value (including positive and negative), K r ' is the coefficient ratio related to ΔB, K B It is its corresponding control coefficient; ΔX is the wear amount of the grinding wheel in this grinding cycle, K X It is its corresponding control coefficient;
[0091] like Figure 6 As shown in the PV curve graph, the PV values corresponding to every 25 points from the horizontal axis 25 to 250 in the first to fourth curves are collected. i (1≤i≤11), the root mean square of these data is used to obtain PV rms .
[0092] ΔPV1 is obtained by selecting the maximum / minimum value within the range of 100-200 on the horizontal axis, and ΔPV2 is obtained by selecting the maximum / minimum value within the ranges of 0-50 and 250-300 on the horizontal axis.
[0093] The above PV for each grinding wheel rms ΔPV1, ΔPV2, and the aforementioned ΔB and ΔX data are imported into the W model, K r 'Start with 1.5 as a trial value, and temporarily set the proportions of the other coefficients to 1. Verify the deviation between the subsequent data and the model, and continuously test K.' r After obtaining a more accurate value, the steepest gradient is confirmed for K. PV K1, K2, K B K X With the control coefficients set, the second compensation function model is now complete.
[0094] Specific model parameter determination process:
[0095] The PV curve reflects the peak-valley height difference at different locations on the wafer 400 surface during grinding, and is used to evaluate surface flatness; the maximum peak and valley values are obtained to form the PV curve.
[0096] The root mean square (PVrms) value of the PV curve refers to the root mean square value of the PV curve over a specific region, used to quantify the surface micro-irregularity. Within the x-axis range of 25 to 250 of the PV curve, 11 points are taken at intervals of 25 (coordinates 25, 50, 75, ..., 250); the PV value (peak-to-valley difference) at each point is recorded and denoted as PV1, PV2, ..., PV... 11 ,but
[0097]
[0098] Example: If the PV values of the 11 points are 2, 3, 4, ..., 12 μm, then:
[0099]
[0100] Regional peak-to-valley difference (△PV1 and △PV2):
[0101] △PV1: Within the range of 100-200 on the horizontal axis, take the difference between the maximum and minimum PV values.
[0102] ΔPV1=PV max (100-200)-PV min (100-200) Example: If the maximum PV value in this area is 10μm and the minimum is 4μm, then △PV1=6um.
[0103] △PV2: Within the horizontal coordinate ranges of 0-50 and 250-300, take the difference between the maximum and minimum PV values respectively, and then calculate them together:
[0104] ΔPV2=max(PV max (0-50), PV max (250-300))-min(PV min (0-50), PV min (250-300)
[0105] Example: If the maximum value of PV in the range of 0-50 is 8 μm and the minimum value is 2 μm; and the maximum value of PV in the range of 250-300 is 7 μm and the minimum value is 3 μm, then: △PV2=max(8,7)-min(2,3)=8-2=6μm.
[0106] The BOW value (wafer 400 curvature) refers to the overall curvature of wafer 400 analyzed by Wrap3D image. The BOW value is the height difference between the center and the edge of wafer 400. If the Wrap3D image shows that the center concavity depth is +5um and the edge warping is -3um, then: ΔB=5-(-3)=8μm;
[0107] The grinding wheel wear (ΔX) refers to the reduction in thickness of the grinding wheel 310 during the grinding process, which is monitored in real time by a tooth profile sensor. If the thickness of the grinding wheel 310 decreases by 0.1 mm after a certain grinding cycle, then:
[0108] The second compensation function model is:
[0109]
[0110] Setting K r =1.5, the remaining coefficients K PV=1, K1=1, K2=1, K B =1,K X =1;
[0111] Gradient descent optimization:
[0112] Define the loss function:
[0113] L=∑(W 实际 -W 模型 ) 2
[0114] Calculate partial derivatives and update coefficients:
[0115] For example, if PV rms If the term is the maximum value, then update K. PV : Where β is the learning rate, such as β = 0.001.
[0116] The model comprehensively reflects the causes of wafer 400 orientation anomalies by using data from three dimensions: PV curve, BOW curvature, and grinding wheel wear. The max function is used to automatically select the parameter with the greatest impact on the current state, avoiding the limitations of a single factor. The exponential term of BOW and the square root term of grinding wheel wear enhance the model's adaptability to complex processes.
[0117] When the fluid compensation reaches its limit value θ, a further grinding wheel 310 tilt angle compensation amount W is introduced. The adjustment of W is based on the micro-unevenness (rms PV) of the wafer 400 surface, the unevenness of the center-mark and B-ring regions (PV1 and PV2), the uniformity and value of the overall PV curve, the BOW value, and the grinding wheel wear amount ΔX. By constructing a functional model of W and collecting relevant data, the optimal grinding wheel 310 tilt angle compensation amount can be calculated.
[0118] Therefore, as Figure 7 As shown, the method also includes: S3.1: acquiring liquid compensation amount Q, tilt angle compensation amount W, and grinding current data; S3.2: establishing a third compensation function model of liquid compensation amount Q, tilt angle compensation amount W, and grinding current data with respect to comprehensive compensation amount Y; S3.3: adjusting the liquid compensation amount Q of liquid supply port 120 and the tilt angle compensation amount W of grinding wheel 310 based on the third compensation function model to center wafer 400.
[0119] The third compensation function model is:
[0120]
[0121] Where K q The integration ratio coefficient for liquid compensation amount, K w The integration ratio coefficient for tilt compensation, K iThis is the scaling factor for the current data during the grinding stage; The weighted average of the difference between the reference current and the applied current, sampled every second during the grinding stage; the above Q, W, and [other parameters] are adjusted for each grinding wheel adjustment. Data, imported into the Y model, K i We'll start with 0.7, and tentatively use 1 for the proportions of the other coefficients. The steepest gradient will then confirm K. q K w With the control coefficients adjusted, the third compensation function model is now complete.
[0122] Current difference calculation: Current data I from the reference side and the applied side is collected every second. 基 (t) and I 加 (t), where the pressurized side and the reference side correspond to two substrates 110, and the weighted average value is calculated:
[0123]
[0124] The weight w(t) can be set according to time decay (e.g., w(t) = e -0.1t ).
[0125] For the third compensation function model:
[0126]
[0127] Initial trial value: Set K q =0.7, K w =1,K i =1;
[0128] Define the total loss function L 总 =∑(Y 实际 -Y 模型 ) 2 ;
[0129] Update coefficients using partial derivatives:
[0130] Similarly, update K. w K i .
[0131] For example: Suppose in a certain adjustment Q = 7.2, W = 30.14, The model output with initial coefficients is:
[0132] Y 模型 =0.7×7.2+1×30.14+1×0.5=5.04+30.14+0.5=35.68
[0133] If the actual demand Y 实际=38, then the loss is (38-35.68)2=5.38, and the target value is gradually approached by adjusting the coefficient.
[0134] As a preferred option, a preset value θ is set, the calculated liquid compensation amount Q is used, and the following judgments are made:
[0135] If the liquid compensation amount Q is less than the preset value θ, the liquid compensation amount Q of the liquid supply port 120 is adjusted based on the first compensation function model to center the wafer 400; if the liquid compensation amount Q is greater than the preset value θ, the liquid compensation amount Q of the liquid supply port 120 and the tilt angle compensation amount W of the grinding wheel 310 are adjusted based on the third compensation function model to center the wafer 400.
[0136] In other words, when Q < θ: only the liquid compensation amount Q is adjusted through the first compensation function model; when Q ≥ θ: the third compensation function model is activated, and Q and the grinding wheel 310 tilt angle compensation amount W are adjusted simultaneously.
[0137] This embodiment also provides a wafer 400 double-sided thinning system applied to a double-sided thinning device.

The drive assembly is used to drive the carrier ring 210 and the wafer 400 to rotate.
