[0002] With the rapid development of the semiconductor industry, fan-out or fan-in wafer-level packaging structures are widely used in the semiconductor industry. At present, when the wafer is coated with photoresist, a photoresist layer is formed on the surface of the wafer by a machine rotation spraying method to meet the subsequent exposure and development process.

This method has linear glue layer marks and uneven glue layer coating during the spin coating process. More colloid will be deposited on the edge of the wafer due to centrifugal force, resulting in poor coplanarity of the coated glue layer. Utility Model Content

[0038] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 The present embodiment provides a wafer coating jig 100, comprising at least two coating discs, namely a first coating disc 110 and a second coating disc 120. The first coating disc 110 is provided with a first liquid injection hole and a first spray hole 111 connected to the first liquid injection hole; the second coating disc 120 is provided with a second liquid injection hole and a second spray hole 121 connected to the second liquid injection hole; the first liquid injection hole and the second liquid injection hole are connected; the first coating disc 110 and the second coating disc 120 are coaxially connected and can rotate relative to each other; the diameter of the first coating disc 110 is smaller than the diameter of the second coating disc 120. The wafer coating jig 100 can realize zoned coating, reduce the deposition of colloid on the edge of the wafer, save the edge washing process, and improve the coating quality.
[0039] One of the first coating disc 110 and the second coating disc 120 is provided with a first rotating boss 113, and the other is provided with a first rotating hole 123, and the first rotating boss 113 is rotatably arranged in the first rotating hole 123. The first coating disc 110 and the second coating disc 120 are arranged in a stacked manner. In the present embodiment, the first coating disc 110 is provided with a first rotating boss 113 at the center, and the second coating disc 120 is provided with a first rotating hole 123 at the center, and the first rotating boss 113 is inserted into the first rotating hole 123, and the first coating disc 110 and the second coating disc 120 can rotate relative to each other. Of course, in some embodiments, the first rotating hole 123 may also be provided on the first coating disc 110, and the first rotating boss 113 may be provided on the second coating disc 120. No specific limitation is made here.
[0040] It can be understood that the first coating disk 110 includes a first surface and a second surface 115 that are arranged opposite to each other, a first liquid injection hole is provided on the first surface, and a plurality of first spray holes 111 are provided on the second surface 115, and a first flow channel (not shown) is provided between the first surface and the second surface 115, and the first flow channel can be provided along the radial direction of the first coating disk 110 to connect the first liquid injection hole and the first spray hole 111. The plurality of first spray holes 111 can be evenly distributed along an annular array, or distributed in a rectangular array, or distributed along any other shape. During coating, the first coating disk 110 is provided with a side of the first spray hole 111 facing the wafer. The coating liquid, such as the photoresist liquid, enters from the first liquid injection hole, enters the first spray hole 111 through the first flow channel, and is thus coated on the surface of the wafer. In this embodiment, the wafer is fixed on the table and does not move, and the first coating disk 110 rotates to spin-coat the coating liquid onto the wafer.
[0041] Optionally, the second surface 115 of the first coating plate 110 is provided with a plurality of bosses 112, and each boss 112 is provided with a first spray hole 111. This can provide a better flow guide for the coating liquid, which is beneficial to improving the coating quality.
[0042] The first injection hole can be provided on the first coating disk 110, and is spaced apart from the first rotating boss 113. In the present embodiment, the first rotating boss 113 is provided on the first surface. In order to make the structure more compact and the coating liquid can flow into each first spray hole 111 more evenly, the first injection hole is also provided at the center of the first coating disk 110. The first injection hole, the first rotating boss 113, the first rotating hole 123 and the second injection hole are located on the same axis. A first center hole 114 is axially opened on the first rotating boss 113 as the first injection hole. It can be understood that the hole wall of the first center hole 114 is provided with an opening for communicating with the first flow channel.
[0043] The first rotating hole 123 and the second spray hole 121 are arranged on the same surface of the second coating disc 120. Optionally, the first rotating hole 123 is a through hole that passes through the second coating disc 120. In this way, the first rotating hole 123 can be used to install the first rotating boss 113 and can also be used as the second liquid injection hole, the structure is more compact, and the structural strength of the first coating disc 110 and the second coating disc 120 is greater. The second coating disc 120 is provided with a second flow channel, and the second flow channel is used to connect the second liquid injection hole and the second spray hole 121.
[0044] In this way, during actual coating, the coating liquid enters from the second injection hole, enters the second spray hole 121 through the second flow channel, and can also enter the first spray hole 111 from the first center hole 114 through the first flow channel to achieve spraying on the wafer. It can be understood that the size of the first coating plate 110 is smaller, which can achieve spraying on the center area of the wafer, and the size of the second coating plate 120 is larger, which can achieve spraying on the area relatively close to the edge of the wafer. In this way, the first coating plate 110 and the second coating plate 120 rotate relative to the wafer in different areas to achieve spraying, which can solve the problem of excessive colloid deposition on the edge of the wafer caused by the centrifugal force generated by the rotation of the wafer in the prior art, improve the uniformity of colloid coating, improve the coating quality, and solve the problem of poor coplanarity after colloid coating.
[0045] Optionally, the first flow channel or the first spray hole 111 is provided with a control valve (not shown). The control valve can control the opening and closing of the first spray hole 111. According to the actual coating situation, the first spray hole 111 in a specific area can be selectively controlled to be opened or closed to adjust the coating area. Similarly, the second coating plate 120 is provided with a second flow channel for connecting the second injection hole and the second spray hole 121; the second flow channel or the second spray hole 121 is provided with a control valve. The control valve can control the opening and closing of the second spray hole 121. According to the actual coating situation, the second spray hole 121 in a specific area can be selectively controlled to be opened or closed to adjust the coating area.
[0046] The number of coating discs is not limited to two, but can be three, four, five or more. Multiple coating discs are stacked and each coating disc can be rotated independently. The diameters of the multiple coating discs gradually increase from the direction close to the wafer to the direction away from the wafer.
[0047] Combination Figures 5 to 7 Optionally, in some embodiments, the wafer coating jig 100 further includes a third coating plate 130, and the third coating plate 130 is provided with a third liquid injection hole 135 and a third spray hole 131 connected to the third liquid injection hole 135. The third coating plate 130 is provided with a third flow channel connected to the third liquid injection hole 135 and the third spray hole 131, and the third flow channel or the third spray hole 131 is provided with a control valve. The control valve can control the opening and closing of the third spray hole 131. The connection mode, rotation principle, coating liquid flow path, etc. of the third coating plate 130 and the second coating plate 120 are similar to the connection mode, rotation principle and coating liquid flow path of the second coating plate 120 and the first coating plate 110.
[0048] The third coating pan 130 is rotatably connected to a side of the second coating pan 120 away from the first coating pan 110, and the third coating pan 130 and the second coating pan 120 are coaxially arranged. Optionally, one of the third coating pan 130 and the second coating pan 120 is provided with a second rotating boss 125, and the other is provided with a second rotating hole 133, and the second rotating boss 125 is rotatably arranged in the second rotating hole 133.
[0049] In this embodiment, the second coating disc 120 is provided with a second rotating boss 125, and the third coating disc 130 is provided with a second rotating hole 133, and the second rotating hole 133 runs through the third coating disc 130. The second rotating hole 133 can not only install the second rotating boss 125 to realize the relative rotation of the second coating disc 120 and the third coating disc 130, but also serve as the third injection hole 135. Optionally, the second rotating boss 125 is provided with a second center hole 126, and the two ends of the second center hole 126 are respectively connected to the second injection hole and the third injection hole 135. In other words, the injection holes of multiple coating discs are all passed through and connected in the center. If three coating discs are used, the diameter of the third coating disc 130 is greater than the diameter of the second coating disc 120, and the diameter of the second coating disc 120 is greater than the diameter of the first coating disc 110. From top to bottom, there are: the third coating tray 130, the second coating tray 120 and the first coating tray 110, and the wafer is below the first coating tray 110. The coating liquid enters from the third liquid injection hole 135 of the third coating tray 130 and flows to the third spray hole 131, the second spray hole 121 and the first spray hole 111 respectively. The control valve can realize the opening and closing of each spray hole to achieve directional coating.
[0050] During actual coating, the first coating disk 110 can be rotated first, and the first coating disk 110 applies glue to the center area of the wafer. Then stop the first coating disk 110, rotate the second coating disk 120, and apply glue to the relatively middle area. This can also eliminate the linear glue layer marks that exist after the first coating disk 110 is coated with glue, improve the coplanarity of the glue layer, and make the coating more uniform. Then stop the second coating disk 120, rotate the third coating disk 130, and apply glue to the relatively outer edge area. This can also eliminate the linear glue layer marks that exist after the first coating disk 110 and the second coating disk 120 are coated with glue, improve the coplanarity of the glue layer, and make the coating more uniform. Of course, the first coating disk 110, the second coating disk 120, and the third coating disk 130 can also be rotated at the same time to apply glue. Alternatively, according to actual needs, only the wafer areas corresponding to the first coating disk 110 and the second coating disk 120 are coated with glue, which is not specifically limited here.
[0051] Since there are multiple coating discs, each coating disc can rotate independently, and the spray holes on each coating disc can also be independently controlled to open and close, making the wafer coating more flexible. It is also possible to repair and repair the area with coating line marks to improve the coplanarity of the colloid. In addition, the spin coating method with the coating disc rotating and the wafer not moving can avoid the problem of excessive colloid deposition on the edge of the wafer due to centrifugal force, improve the coating uniformity and coating quality, and the coplanarity of the coating colloid is better, and even the edge washing process can be omitted, thereby improving the process efficiency.
[0052] The embodiment of the utility model also provides a coating device, including a carrier and a wafer coating jig 100 as in any of the above embodiments, the carrier is used to place the wafer, and the wafer coating jig 100 is rotatably arranged above the carrier. The first coating pan 110, the second coating pan 120, and the third coating pan 130 are provided with a spray hole on one side facing the wafer.
[0053] The wafer coating jig 100 and the coating device provided by the embodiment of the utility model have the following beneficial effects, including:
[0054] The wafer coating jig 100 provided in the embodiment of the utility model adopts at least two coating disks, which can be used to coat the wafer in different areas. During the coating process, the coating disk can rotate while the wafer is fixed. This can effectively alleviate the problem of excessive deposition on the edge of the wafer due to centrifugal force, improve the quality of coating, and facilitate the elimination of the edge washing process, thereby improving the process efficiency.
[0055] The coating equipment provided by the utility model includes the above-mentioned wafer coating fixture 100, which can effectively alleviate the problem of excessive colloid deposition on the edge of the wafer due to centrifugal force, improve the quality of glue coating, improve the coplanarity of the coated colloid, and improve the process efficiency.
