TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of semiconductor technology, in particular to a test method for the film expansion performance of UV debonding film. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the precision manufacturing process of semiconductor wafer cutting and chip packaging, the film expansion performance of UV debonding film directly determines the chip separation precision and processing yield. However, the existing test method has a core technical bottleneck: it cannot realize the real-time linkage monitoring and correlation analysis of the tension change, chip position movement, material mechanical performance and environmental tolerance in the film expansion process, resulting in isolated data in each dimension, which makes it difficult to accurately evaluate the comprehensive performance of the material under actual working conditions.

[0003] Specifically, the traditional test method only tests single indicators such as tensile strength and adhesion independently, lacks real-time coupling relationship capture of "tension-distance change" in the film expansion dynamic process, and does not establish a correlation model across dimensional parameters (such as mechanical performance and chip adaptability). This makes the test results unable to reflect the real performance of UV debonding film in actual scenarios such as high-speed expansion and high-temperature environment, often leading to problems such as chip cracking and uneven spacing due to improper material selection, which restricts the yield improvement of semiconductor packaging process.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a test method that can real-time synchronously collect multi-dimensional data and establish a parameter correlation model to realize systematic and accurate evaluation of the film expansion performance of UV debonding film. SUMMARY

[0008] Preferably, the coordinate calculation module of the visual feedback positioning system identifies the chip profile through an edge detection algorithm and calculates the chip spacing change amount in combination with a preset coordinate system. Preferably, in step three, the establishment step of the cross-parameter correlation model comprises: Step A1: extract key parameters of each test dimension, the key parameters of each test dimension including tensile strength, tension retention rate, chip spacing standard deviation, and thermal shrinkage rate; Step A2: determine parameter weights by principal component analysis, construct a multivariate regression equation, and quantify the correlation between parameters.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0010] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments of the present application. 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 labor fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0011] The present application provides a technical solution: preparing a dumbbell-shaped sample, using a PET substrate UV adhesion-reducing film, cutting into a dumbbell shape with a gauge length of 50 mm and a parallel section width of 6 mm for basic mechanical property testing to obtain material tensile strength, elongation at break, and elastic modulus. Wafer-attached samples are 12-inch silicon wafers with an edge extending 5-10 mm beyond the wafer. After Ar plasma cleaning for 30 s to improve surface energy, vacuum bonding technology is used to roll press three times with a rubber roller at a pressure of 5-10 N / cm to eliminate bubbles with a diameter >100 μm, ensuring the stability of the edge chip during film expansion, and thus ensuring the close adhesion of the adhesive layer to the wafer surface. A high-precision universal material testing machine is used to stretch the dumbbell-shaped sample at a speed of 50 mm / min, and force-displacement curves are collected simultaneously. The tensile strength (σ=Fmax / (b×t)), elongation at break (δ=(L1-L0) / L0×100%), and elastic modulus (the slope of the initial linear segment of the stress-strain curve) are calculated. The automatic film expansion machine integrates tension sensors and visual feedback positioning systems to realize real-time linkage collection of tension data and chip position changes (collection frequency ≥100 Hz).

[0012] The visual feedback positioning system includes a high-resolution image acquisition unit, which uses a CCD camera to capture chip array images in real time, with a capture accuracy of ±1 μm; a coordinate calculation module, which identifies the chip profile through a Canny operator and calculates the adjacent chip spacing variation in combination with a preset coordinate system (with the wafer center as the origin); and a data synchronization unit, which aligns the spacing variation data and the tension data by timestamp, automatically calculates the tension retention rate (R=Tt / T0x100%) and the stress relaxation rate (S=(T0-Tt) / T0x100% / t). The environmental tolerance test is performed by placing a 100 mm x 100 mm square sample in a 150°C±1°C oven for 1 hour, measuring the diagonal length change by a two-dimensional image measuring instrument, and calculating the shrinkage rate (Sh=(L0-L1) / L0x100%); after the film is expanded, it is left to stand for 24 hours, the chip spacing fluctuation is monitored, and the dimensional stability of the film material at room temperature is evaluated.

[0013] The cross-parameter correlation model extracts key parameters from mechanical properties (tensile strength, elastic modulus), film expansion dynamics (tension retention rate, stress relaxation rate), chip adaptability (chip spacing standard deviation), and environmental tolerance (thermal shrinkage rate), determines the weight of each parameter, constructs a multivariate regression equation (such as Y=0.4X1+0.3X2+0.2X3+0.1X4, where X1 is the chip spacing standard deviation, X2 is the tension retention rate, etc.), and quantifies the correlation between parameters; preset industry standard thresholds are generated to generate a comprehensive performance report containing qualified items and early warning items.

[0014] It should be noted that, in the present text, relational terms such as first and second and the like can only be used to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, without necessarily requiring or implying any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Moreover, the terms "comprises", "comprising", or any other variant thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions, so that a process, method, article, or apparatus that includes a list of elements does not only include those elements, but can also include other elements not expressly listed or inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus. Without more limitations, an element defined by the phrase "comprising a..." does not exclude the presence of additional identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes the element.
