Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of silicon wafer processing, in particular to a double-sided differential thinning method for precise regulation of the bow value of a wafer after slicing, which is especially suitable for heavily doped boron substrate wafers of 28nm and above processes, can solve the technical problem of mismatch between the wafer and the subsequent epitaxial process, and belongs to the technical field of semiconductor manufacturing. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the continuous development of the integrated circuit industry, the quality requirements of silicon wafers are also increasing, especially in 28nm Logic and above processes, the geometric parameters such as the bow of the silicon wafer directly affect the quality and reliability of the final chip. However, in the existing silicon wafer processing technology, the bow of the wafer after slicing is basically fixed, and there is a lack of effective subsequent adjustment means. The amplification effect of the thermal history process in the epitaxial process on the bow value, especially the mismatch between the substrate bow and the change trend after epitaxy in the thick layer epitaxy scenario required by high-power devices, can easily cause the geometric parameters of the epitaxial product to deteriorate, which can cause local exposure to be misaligned during the subsequent photolithography process, thereby affecting the final parameter failure of the product and causing yield loss. The geometric parameters of the silicon wafer are mainly affected by the slicing of the wafer, and the geometric parameters of the wafer after slicing are not uniform, and the bow of the wafer is quite different between different slicing machines or different segments of the ingot.
[0003] The current processing method cannot effectively control the geometric parameters of the silicon wafer, and it is also difficult to match the geometric parameter changes of the subsequent film formation or thermal history. There is no effective means to correct the substrate wafer bow in the subsequent double-sided polishing or single wafer polishing process to accurately control the bow within the ideal range, which can easily cause the epitaxial wafer to be scrapped. In view of the problems of bow value deterioration after epitaxy and poor adaptability of the wafer to the epitaxial process, the control line of the geometric parameters of the substrate wafer is often tightened on one side, which seriously restricts the stable production of high-end wafers, and there is an urgent need for a method that can accurately and flexibly regulate the bow value of the wafer after slicing. SUMMARY
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present application is to provide a method for controlling the bow of a silicon wafer by thinning, which solves the problem of large bow value fluctuation of different slicing machines in different periods processing different Lots after slicing and mismatch with the subsequent epitaxial process in the prior art. The bow value of the silicon wafer after slicing is accurately controlled by double-sided differential thinning, the bow value of the silicon wafer after slicing is accurately corrected, the geometric parameters of the substrate wafer are matched with the change trend of the bow of the epitaxial process, and the wafer scrap rate is reduced.

If the bending degree does not reach the target value after adjusting the thinning parameters, the vacuum chuck of the thinning device is replaced, and the steps of S21-S23 are repeated until the micro-topographic parameters of the trial-processed wafer meet the preset requirements, that is, the desired bending degree value is reached.
