Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of ultra-precision machining technology, and in particular to an opto-chemical mechanical polishing device and method based on quartz column light guide. Background Technology

[0002] As the semiconductor industry upgrades towards high-frequency, high-voltage, and high-temperature applications, wide-bandgap semiconductors (such as silicon carbide (SiC) and gallium nitride (GaN)) have become core materials in fields such as new energy vehicles, photovoltaic inverters, and aerospace due to their superior characteristics, including high breakdown voltage, high thermal conductivity, and low switching losses. However, the strong covalent bonding energy and high hardness of wide-bandgap semiconductor crystals pose bottlenecks for traditional mechanical polishing techniques, such as low processing efficiency, numerous surface defects, and thick subsurface damage layers. These limitations make it difficult to meet the stringent requirements of device manufacturing for wafers, which demand "atomic-level flatness, low defect density, and high surface finish."

[0003] Against this backdrop, photoelectrochemical mechanical polishing (PECMP) technology has emerged. This technology integrates the synergistic effects of multiple energy fields: light excitation to generate electron-hole pairs on the semiconductor surface accelerates the surface oxidation reaction, forming an easily removable oxide layer. Electrochemical enhancement of oxidation kinetics is then combined with mechanical polishing to achieve efficient and low-damage removal of the oxide layer. Compared to traditional mechanical polishing, PECMP technology can significantly reduce processing stress and surface defects. However, existing PECMP technologies still have limitations in practical applications, such as: poor light field uniformity, insufficient synergy of oxidation reactions, and insufficient local light intensity leading to low electron-hole pair generation efficiency and slow oxide layer growth; excessive light intensity may cause over-oxidation, forming an uneven, thick oxide layer, increasing the difficulty of mechanical polishing; insufficient light transmittance and stability make it difficult to achieve uniform illumination on large-area wafers.

[0010] A photoelectrochemical mechanical polishing method based on quartz pillar light guiding, comprising the following steps, using the aforementioned photoelectrochemical mechanical polishing device based on quartz pillar light guiding: S1: The wafer is adsorbed onto the universal adjustment platform of the workpiece unit by a conductive vacuum chuck. Polishing liquid is added by the liquid supply unit so that the polishing liquid wets the surface of the wafer and the surface of the polishing pad, thus completing the polishing pretreatment. S2: The workpiece unit is moved by the horizontal and vertical guide rails to bring the wafer close to the surface of the polishing pad, so that the polishing pad unit, the workpiece unit and the polishing liquid form a photoelectrolysis cell. S3: Start the workpiece drive motor and spindle motor, the wafer and polishing pad begin to rotate, and control the cylinder to make the wafer contact the surface of the polishing pad. S4: Controlling the irradiation intensity and electric field parameters of ultraviolet light allows the wafer surface to undergo controllable oxidation modification under the photoelectrochemical reaction of the photoelectrolysis cell, forming an easily removable oxide layer; at the same time, the relative rotational motion between the polishing disk unit and the wafer is used to remove the oxide layer of the wafer layer layer by layer through mechanical grinding, thereby achieving ultra-smooth planarization of the wafer surface.
