Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of semiconductor manufacturing technology, and in particular to a method for eliminating bonding interface defects, a module for eliminating bonding interface defects, and a semiconductor device processing equipment. Background Technology
[0002] Die-to-wafer bonding is a core process in semiconductor 3D integration and system packaging. The cleanliness and flatness of the bonding interface directly determine the quality of the packaged product. In actual production, nanoscale particulate contaminants, organic residues, or localized unevenness are prone to exist on the die surface and in the wafer bonding area, causing gas cavities to form inside the interface after bonding. During the subsequent wafer grinding and thinning process, dies with such interface defects will fracture due to stress concentration and insufficient bonding force. The splashing of fragments not only causes abnormal shutdowns of the grinding equipment but also leads to the scrapping of the entire wafer, significantly reducing production yield and equipment operating efficiency.
[0003] Chinese patent document CN 122180407 A discloses a module, method, and semiconductor device processing equipment for eliminating bonding interface defects. It discloses a method of using high-energy pulsed beam drilling to remove trapped gas within the bonding interface cavity, thereby improving the interface defect problem. However, existing drilling processes have significant limitations in controlling the parameters of the high-energy beam, making precise control of the drilling depth impossible. The beam can easily penetrate the die, damaging the underlying device wafer and resulting in substantial repair costs.

Therefore, the first components, regions, layers, and / or parts discussed below may be referred to as second components, regions, layers, and / or parts without departing from some embodiments of the present invention.
[0028] As mentioned above, die-to-wafer bonding is a core process in semiconductor 3D integration and system packaging. The cleanliness and flatness of the bonding interface directly determine the quality of the packaged product. In actual production, nanoscale particulate contaminants, organic residues, or localized unevenness are prone to exist on the die surface and in the wafer bonding area, causing gas cavities to form inside the interface after bonding. In the subsequent wafer grinding and thinning process, dies with such interface defects will fracture due to stress concentration and insufficient bonding force. The splashing of fragments will not only cause abnormal shutdown of the grinding equipment but also lead to the scrapping of the entire wafer, significantly reducing production yield and equipment operating efficiency.
[0029] Chinese patent document CN 122180407 A discloses a module, method, and semiconductor device processing equipment for eliminating bonding interface defects. It discloses a method of using high-energy pulsed beam drilling to remove trapped gas within the bonding interface cavity, thereby improving the interface defect problem. However, existing drilling processes have significant limitations in controlling the parameters of the high-energy beam, making precise control of the drilling depth impossible. The beam can easily penetrate the die, damaging the underlying device wafer and resulting in substantial repair costs.
[0030] To overcome the aforementioned deficiencies in the existing technology, the present invention provides a method for eliminating bonding interface defects, a module for eliminating bonding interface defects, and a semiconductor device processing equipment for precisely controlling the etching depth at bubble defects to avoid damage to the underlying device wafer caused by high-energy pulsed beams, thereby improving the safety and stability of bonding defect repair.
[0031] In some non-limiting embodiments, the method for eliminating bonding interface defects provided in the first aspect of the present invention can be implemented based on the bonding interface defect elimination module provided in the second aspect of the present invention. Specifically, the bonding interface defect elimination module is configured with a memory and a controller. The memory includes, but is not limited to, a computer-readable storage medium storing computer instructions thereon. The controller is connected to the memory and configured to execute the computer instructions stored in the memory to implement the bonding interface defect elimination method provided in the first aspect of the present invention.
[0032] Furthermore, the bonding interface defect elimination module provided in the second aspect of the present invention can be configured in the semiconductor device processing equipment provided in the third aspect of the present invention. Specifically, the semiconductor device processing equipment includes: a bonding module for bonding a die to the bonding interface of a wafer to form a die-wafer bond; a bonding interface defect elimination module as described in the second aspect of the present invention, located at the rear end of the bonding module, for eliminating bubble defects on the bonding interface of the die-wafer bond; and a polishing mechanism, located at the rear end of the elimination module, for polishing and thinning the wafer side of the die-wafer bond after the bubble defects have been eliminated.
[0033] Please refer to the details. Figures 1-2 , Figure 1 A schematic diagram of bonding interface defect localization provided according to some embodiments of the present invention is shown. Figure 2 A schematic diagram of a bonding interface defect elimination module structure provided according to some embodiments of the present invention is shown.
[0034] like Figures 1-2As shown, the bonding interface defect elimination module may include a defect location mechanism 30 and a pulse beam emitter 40.
[0035] The defect location mechanism 30 is used to scan the grain 10-wafer 20 bonding assembly to determine the coordinate position of the bubble defect 31 on the bonding interface.
[0036] The pulsed beam emitter 40 is located on the grain 10 side of the bonding interface and faces the bonding interface. It is used to apply a first pulsed beam 41 to the bubble defect 31, forming a blind hole on the corresponding grain 10 of the bubble defect 31, so that the corresponding grain 10 has a first thickness at the corresponding position at the bottom of the blind hole. The pulsed beam emitter 40 is also used to apply a second pulsed beam 42 to the bottom of the blind hole to form an exhaust micro-through hole communicating with the bubble defect 31 on the corresponding grain 10. Here, the first single pulse energy of the first pulsed beam 41 is greater than the second single pulse energy of the second pulsed beam 42.
[0037] In addition, the bonding interface defect elimination module may also include an optical system located between the pulse beam emitter 40 and the grain 10, for focusing the first pulse beam 41 and / or the second pulse beam 42 output by the pulse beam emitter 40 onto the surface of the corresponding grain 10 above the bubble defect 31, forming a first pulse beam 41 spot and / or a second pulse beam 42 spot with a diameter between 5 μm and 15 μm.
[0038] In addition, the bonding interface defect elimination module also includes a processor for determining the control parameters of the pulsed high-energy beam based on the ablation depth of the exhaust micro-via.
[0039] Thus, the defect location mechanism 30 first performs a full-area inspection of the bonded wafer 20, accurately identifying the target grain 10 with interface defects and acquiring the planar coordinates of the defect location. The pulse beam emitter 40, based on the grain 10 thickness data and pre-defined process rules, matches and adapts the single-pulse energy, pulse quantity, and other operating parameters to prepare for pulse beam output. The optical system simultaneously receives the defect location coordinate signal, completes optical path attitude adjustment and precise alignment, and transmits, shapes, and focuses the pulse beam emitted by the pulse beam emitter 40, ensuring the beam precisely targets the defect area of the grain 10.
[0040] The working principle of the above-mentioned bonding interface defect elimination module will be described below with reference to embodiments of some bonding interface defect elimination methods. Those skilled in the art will understand that these embodiments of bonding interface defect elimination methods are merely non-limiting implementations provided by the present invention, intended to clearly demonstrate the main concept of the invention and provide specific solutions convenient for public implementation, rather than limiting all functions or all working methods of the bonding interface defect elimination module. Similarly, the bonding interface defect elimination module is also merely a non-limiting implementation provided by the present invention, and does not constitute a limitation on the executing entity or execution order of the steps in these bonding interface defect elimination methods.
[0041] Please refer to the reference. Figure 1 and Figure 3 , Figure 3 A flowchart illustrating a method for eliminating bonding interface defects according to some embodiments of the present invention is shown.
[0042] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the bonding interface defect elimination module can first perform step S1: locate the bubble defect 31 on the bonding interface of the die 10-wafer 20 bonding component.
[0043] Specifically, the bonding interface defect elimination module can scan the die 10-wafer 20 bonded component via the defect positioning mechanism 30 to determine the coordinate position of the bubble defect 31 on the bonding interface. Here, the defect positioning mechanism 30 can employ an acoustic scanning microscope. This acoustic scanning microscope scans the entire die 10-wafer 20 bonded component, records all existing bubble defects 31, and generates a corresponding coordinate file.
[0044] Next, please refer to the reference. Figures 3-4 , Figure 4 A schematic diagram of applying a first pulsed beam to a bubble defect according to some embodiments of the present invention is shown.
[0045] like Figures 3-4 As shown, the bonding interface defect elimination module can continue to execute step S2: apply a first pulse beam 41 from one side of the grain 10 to the bubble defect 31 to form a blind hole on the corresponding grain 10 of the bubble defect 31, so that the corresponding grain 10 has a first thickness d at the corresponding position at the bottom of the blind hole.
[0046] In some embodiments of the present invention, the first thickness d can be a pre-set fixed value, which can be entered into the system in advance according to process standards and device protection requirements. During the processing, the preset value can be directly called as the target thickness of the corresponding position of the corresponding grain 10 at the bottom of the blind hole.
[0047] In some embodiments of the present invention, the first thickness d can also be dynamically calculated in combination with the overall thickness of the grain 10 obtained by real-time detection and adaptively determined to match the processing requirements of grains 10 of different specifications.
[0048] Specifically, those skilled in the art can set the first thickness to be 10% to 50% of the initial thickness of the die 10. Thus, the range of the first thickness can reserve a sufficiently thick die substrate as a buffer protective layer, thereby preventing the laser pulse from penetrating the die and damaging the underlying device wafer due to energy fluctuations and depth detection errors, while ensuring that the bottom of the blind hole is close enough to the bonding bubble defect.
[0049] In some embodiments of the present invention, the first thickness d of the corresponding position of the corresponding grain 10 at the bottom of the blind hole can be between 10 μm and 50 μm. Here, when the thickness at the bottom of the blind hole is not uniform, the first thickness d represents the minimum thickness of the corresponding grain 10 at the bottom of the blind hole.
[0050] In some embodiments of the present invention, the bonding interface defect elimination module can obtain the thickness of the corresponding grain 10 via an infrared ranging sensor.
[0051] For example, this infrared ranging sensor can employ single-ended near-infrared interferometry thickness measurement. Specifically, this infrared ranging sensor using single-ended near-infrared interferometry thickness measurement can first complete the optical path reference calibration. Then, a near-infrared detection beam is emitted perpendicularly towards the target die 10. Part of the beam is reflected on the upper surface of the die 10, and the other part penetrates the die 10 body and is reflected at the bonding interface between the die 10 and the wafer 20. In this way, the two reflected beams return to the sensor and couple with the reference beam to form an interference signal. The sensor calculates the thickness of the corresponding die 10 by analyzing parameters such as the interference phase and optical path difference.
[0052] Subsequently, the processor of the bonding interface defect elimination module can determine the first process parameters of the first pulse beam 41 based on the difference between the thickness of the die 10 and the first thickness d. Here, the first process parameters include the first single pulse energy, and at least one of the following: first peak power, first pulse width, first duty cycle, first pulse frequency, spot diameter of the first pulse beam 41, or first number of pulses.
[0053] Optionally, the first process parameter may also include a first focusing depth or a first scanning speed, etc.
[0054] For example, in some embodiments of the present invention, the method for determining the first process parameters of the first pulsed beam 41 based on the difference between the thickness of the grain 10 and the first thickness d can be based on the first single pulse energy and the first pulse number. Specifically, the difference between the thickness of the grain 10 and the first thickness d is equal to the product of the first single pulse energy and the first pulse number.
[0055] Specifically, the bonding interface defect elimination module can use an optical system to focus the first pulse beam 41 output by the pulse beam emitter 40 onto the corresponding grain 10 above the bubble defect 31, forming a first pulse beam 41 spot with a diameter between 5 μm and 15 μm.
[0056] Finally, please refer to the reference. Figures 3-5 , Figure 5 A schematic diagram of applying a second pulsed beam to a bubble defect according to some embodiments of the present invention is shown.
[0057] like Figures 3-5 As shown, the bonding interface defect elimination module can first perform step S3: applying a second pulse beam 42 to the bottom of the blind hole to form a venting micro-channel connecting the bubble defect 31 on the corresponding grain 10. The first single pulse energy of the first pulse beam 41 is greater than the second single pulse energy of the second pulse beam 42.
[0058] Specifically, the processor of the bonding interface defect elimination module can determine the second process parameters of the second pulse beam 42 based on the first thickness d. Here, the second process parameters include the second single pulse energy, and at least one of the following: second peak power, second pulse width, second duty cycle, second pulse frequency, spot diameter of the second pulse beam 42, or second number of pulses.
[0059] Therefore, this invention utilizes a segmented laser pulse etching process. First, a high-energy pulse beam is used to complete a deep and rapid hole drilling. When the remaining drilling depth reaches a preset first thickness d, the pulse energy is reduced to a low-energy pulse beam. This adapts to the drilling requirements of chips with different thicknesses and allows for precise control of the etching depth at the bubble defect 31. This avoids the problem of high-energy pulse beams damaging the underlying device wafer 20, thereby improving the safety and stability of bonding defect repair.
[0060] Optionally, the second process parameter may also include a second focusing depth or a second scanning speed, etc.
[0061] For example, in some embodiments of the present invention, similarly, the method for determining the second process parameters of the second pulsed beam 42 based on the first thickness d can be based on the second single-pulse energy and the second pulse number. Specifically, the first thickness d can be equal to the product of the second single-pulse energy and the second pulse number.
[0062] In some embodiments of the present invention, the bonding interface defect elimination module can focus the second pulse beam 42 output by the pulse beam emitter 40 onto the corresponding grain 10 above the bubble defect 31 via an optical system, forming a second pulse beam 42 spot with a diameter between 5 μm and 15 μm.
[0063] In some embodiments of the present invention, the first single pulse energy of the first pulse beam 41 can be between 0.1 mJ and 10 mJ, and the second single pulse energy of the second pulse beam 42 is not greater than 10 μJ.
[0064] In some embodiments of the present invention, the first peak power of the first pulse beam 41 is between 10kW and 50GW, and the second peak power of the second pulse beam 42 is between 10kW and 50GW.
[0065] In some embodiments of the present invention, the first pulse width of the first pulse beam 41 is between 200 fs and 200 ps, and the second pulse width of the second pulse beam 42 is between 200 fs and 200 ps.
[0066] In some embodiments of the present invention, after a first pulsed beam 41 is applied to the bubble defect 31 from one side of the grain 10 to form a blind hole on the corresponding grain 10 of the bubble defect 31, and a second pulsed beam 42 is applied to the bottom of the blind hole to form a venting micro-via communicating with the bubble defect 31 on the corresponding grain 10, the processor of the bonding interface defect elimination module may apply a third pulsed beam to the bottom of the blind hole so that the corresponding grain 10 has a second thickness at the corresponding position at the bottom of the blind hole. Here, the second thickness is less than the first thickness d, and the third single pulse energy of the third pulsed beam is greater than the second single pulse energy.
[0067] In summary, this invention utilizes a segmented laser pulse etching process. First, a high-energy pulse beam is used to rapidly drill holes to a large depth. When the remaining drilling depth reaches a preset first thickness d, the pulse energy is reduced to a low-energy pulse beam. This adapts to the drilling requirements of chips with different thicknesses, allowing for precise control of the etching depth at the bubble defect 31. This avoids damage to the underlying device wafer 20 caused by the high-energy pulse beam, thereby improving the safety and stability of bonding defect repair.
