Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of automation equipment, in particular to a wafer processing film inversion device. Background Art

[0002] In the process of semiconductor manufacturing, multiple chips (or called DIE, usually with some tiny circuit elements and transistors on this chip) are simultaneously manufactured on the same silicon wafer. Therefore, it is necessary to cut the wafer to separate individual chips. The currently relatively mature wafer cutting technology is the SDBG hidden cutting technology, that is, a protective film is pasted on the front side before cutting, and then laser hidden cutting is performed from the back side. After hidden cutting, back grinding is carried out, then the protective film on the front side is peeled off, and a cutting adhesive film is pasted on the back side. Finally, film expansion is carried out based on the cutting adhesive film to separate multiple chips from each other to achieve segmentation, etc.

[0003] In the actual processing of the wafer, when pasting the protective film on the front side and performing back hidden cutting, the outer ring of the protective film needs to be fixed with a steel ring. When pasting the cutting adhesive film on the back side for film expansion, the outer ring of the cutting adhesive film is pressed by an expanding film ring. Therefore, in the whole process, it is necessary to realize film inversion between the steel ring and the expanding film ring. The existing technology usually directly tears off the original protective film on the front side manually or by using an auxiliary jig and pastes the cutting adhesive film on the back side of the wafer to achieve film inversion. This method has the following disadvantages:

[0004] 1. When tearing off the protective film on the front side, due to the stickiness of the glue, it is easy to deform the protective film, affecting the use in subsequent processes;

[0005] 2. Directly tearing the protective film easily causes uneven stress on the wafer and fragmentation, and then some DIEs are taken away with the protective film and cannot be transferred to the new film, resulting in incomplete film inversion;

[0006] 3. When tearing off the cutting adhesive film on the back side, there will be glue residue on the DIE. Summary of the Utility Model

[0007] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to overcome the existing defects and provide a wafer processing film inversion device, including a platform with legs;

[0008] The upper surface of the platform is provided with a vacuum chuck whose vacuum degree is controlled by a one-way air valve, and the vacuum chuck is evenly provided with vacuum suction holes;

[0009] A circle of grooves concentric with the vacuum chuck is arranged on the radial outer circle of the vacuum chuck, and an expanding film ring is arranged in the grooves;

[0010] A steel ring positioned by a pin and fixed by a magnet is arranged on the radial outer circle of the groove, and the steel ring is concentric with the vacuum chuck;

[0011] A heating coil controlled by a temperature controller is provided on the lower side of the vacuum chuck.

[0012] Wherein: The platform is provided with a notch corresponding to the card slot to facilitate the taking and placing of the film expanding ring.

[0013] Wherein: A roll of film is also provided on the upper surface of the platform through a bracket. For a specific wafer, after being fixed by a vacuum chuck, the roll of film can be covered and compacted with a rubber roller, and tearing off the roll of film can effectively remove surface dirt; for a wafer that has completed film expansion, the roll of film can be covered and compacted with a rubber roller to achieve the purpose of protecting the wafer.

[0014] Wherein: A cutting groove is also provided on the upper surface of the platform to achieve a flush cut of the roll of film.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following advantages:

[0016] 1. Using a vacuum chuck to fix the wafer that needs to be inverted, while avoiding film deformation, it can ensure uniform stress on the wafer.

[0017] 2. The concentricity of the steel ring and the film expanding ring can be ensured through the pin and the card slot.

[0018] 3. Using a vacuum chuck to fix and tearing the film in a direction parallel to the plane of the vacuum chuck can ensure the integrity of the inverted film.

[0019] 4. Heating through the vacuum chuck can effectively avoid glue residue. Description of the Drawings
