Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of semiconductor manufacturing, in particular to a detection device and a wafer de-gluing system. Background Art

[0002] In the process of semiconductor chip preparation, a wafer fab needs to cut the wafers that have completed integrated circuit preparation, and transfer the cut wafers to a packaging and testing factory. The packaging and testing factory mounts and tests each die cut from the wafers, and finally completes the chip products. Among them, before wafer cutting, a cutting film, such as a UV film, needs to be attached to the back of the wafer. The UV film has strong adhesiveness, which can not only fix the wafer, but also prevent the wafer from cracking, improve the cutting accuracy and increase safety. Moreover, under the irradiation of an ultraviolet lamp, the adhesiveness of the UV film will be greatly reduced, which is beneficial to taking the die in the packaging process.

[0003] However, before and after ultraviolet light irradiation of the cut wafer, its appearance does not change significantly, so it is difficult to determine whether the wafer has been irradiated with ultraviolet light. And the existing de-gluing machines can only monitor the energy of the ultraviolet light, cannot confirm whether ultraviolet light de-gluing is carried out, and even less can confirm the de-gluing effect after ultraviolet light irradiation. For this, the existing solution is to send the wafer to the packaging and testing factory to indirectly estimate whether the wafer has been irradiated with ultraviolet light and its de-gluing effect by using the die picking effect of a die bonder. If the die bonder in the packaging and testing factory cannot pick up the die, the wafer needs to be returned to the wafer fab, and then reworked by the wafer fab. Such back-and-forth transfer not only wastes time costs and affects the process, but also easily damages the wafer. And for the detection of the de-gluing effect of the UV film, some manufacturers use the pulling force of a manual tensile test to characterize the de-gluing effect and the adhesiveness after de-gluing. However, this detection method not only has a large sample preparation difficulty, a long test time, but also has a relatively low test result accuracy.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a new detection device to solve the above technical problems. Summary of the Utility Model

[0017] Optionally, in the detection device, the detection unit further includes an alarm; the alarm is connected to the comparator to issue an alarm when the degree of glue removal is insufficiently removed glue or unremoved glue.

[0019] Optionally, in the detection device, the suction unit further includes a vacuum generator; the vacuum generator is connected to the vacuum pen so that the vacuum pen is in a vacuum state when sucking the crystal grain.

[0020] Optionally, in the detection device, the vacuum generator is also connected to the vacuum recorder, and the vacuum generator has a first working state and a second working state;

[0036] Please refer to Figure 1 , this embodiment provides a detection device 1 for detecting the de-gluing degree of a de-gluing machine on a cutting film, and the cutting film is attached to the surface of a wafer W. The detection device 1 includes: a suction unit 10 and a detection unit 11; the suction unit 10 includes a vacuum suction pen 100 for sucking the chips D on the wafer W after cutting; the detection unit 11 includes a vacuum recorder 110; the vacuum recorder 110 is connected to the vacuum suction pen 100 and is at least used to obtain the vacuum value when the vacuum suction pen 100 sucks the chip D; and the vacuum value is used to characterize the de-gluing degree.

[0037] Based on this, the detection device 1 provided in this embodiment uses a vacuum suction pen 100 to suck the die D on the wafer W to determine the degree of debonding of the cutting film by the debonder, and characterizes the degree of debonding by the vacuum value when sucking the die D. It can not only accurately quantify the degree of debonding, but also is easy to operate, which is beneficial to improving the process efficiency.

[0038] The following combines with the attached Figures 1 to 4 , and specifically describes the detection device 1 provided in this embodiment.

[0039] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the detection device 1 includes a suction unit 10, a detection unit 11, a feedback unit 12 and a carrying unit 13. Among them, the suction unit 10, the detection unit 11 and the feedback unit 12 are connected in sequence; and the suction unit 10 is used to suck the die D on the wafer W by using the vacuum pressure difference; the detection unit 11 is used to obtain the vacuum value when the suction unit 10 sucks the die D, and obtain the degree of debonding accordingly; and, the feedback unit 12 is also connected to the debonder 2, and is used to feedback the degree of debonding to the debonder 2, so that the debonder 2 can adjust its own process parameters according to the degree of debonding, thereby optimizing the debonding effect. The carrying unit 13 is a carrying platform for carrying the wafer W, so as to facilitate the suction unit 10 to suck the die D. Among them, the connection referred to in this embodiment can be a wired electrical connection or a wireless communication connection.

[0040] Specifically, the suction unit 10 includes a vacuum suction pen 100 and a vacuum generator 101 which are connected to each other. In this embodiment, the vacuum suction pen 100 and the vacuum generator 101 can be two separate devices; alternatively, the vacuum suction pen 100 and the vacuum generator 101 are integrated into the same device. The vacuum suction pen 100 is used to directly suck the die D; the vacuum generator 101 is used to evacuate the vacuum suction pen 100 to make it in a vacuum state when sucking the die D. Further, the vacuum suction pen 100 has an inner cavity T, and the side of the inner cavity T away from the wafer W is connected to the vacuum generator 101, and the side of the inner cavity T close to the wafer W is connected to the external environment through the holes at the pen tip. And the vacuum generator 101 is a vacuum pump. After the vacuum pump is started, it will evacuate the air in the inner cavity T to make the inner cavity T close to the vacuum state, thereby generating a suction force on the die D in the direction of the pen tip. And in view of the viscosity of the dicing film, when each die D is sucked by the vacuum suction pen 100, it is necessary to overcome the viscosity. Therefore, when the degumming degree of the dicing film is more sufficient, the viscosity of the dicing film to the die D is lower, and the smaller the vacuum value of the vacuum suction pen 100 sucking the die D is. Based on this, the detection device 1 provided in this embodiment quantifies the degumming degree by using the vacuum value according to the relationship between the degumming degree, the viscosity and the vacuum value.

[0041] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the detection unit 11 includes a vacuum recorder 110 and an alarm 111. The vacuum recorder 110 is used to obtain the vacuum value when the vacuum suction pen 100 sucks the die D, and output the degumming degree accordingly; the alarm 111 is used to give an alarm when there is no degumming or insufficient degumming. Specifically, the vacuum recorder 110 includes a detector 1100, a memory 1101, a comparator 1102 and a display 1103 which are connected to each other in pairs. The detector 1100 is connected to the vacuum suction pen 100, and is used to detect the vacuum value of the vacuum suction pen 100, obtain the vacuum value when the vacuum suction pen 100 sucks the die D, and obtain the instantaneous vacuum value when the vacuum suction pen 100 sucks the die D when the dicing film is not degummed. The memory 1101 is used to store the vacuum value and the instantaneous vacuum value obtained by the detector 1100. The comparator 1102 is used to compare the vacuum value or the instantaneous vacuum value with a set threshold value, and obtain the degumming degree according to the comparison result. The display 1103 is used to display the degumming degree, the vacuum value and / or the instantaneous vacuum value. And, the alarm 111 includes, but is not limited to, a buzzer and / or a warning light.

[0042] Preferably, the degree of debinding can be divided into sufficient debinding, insufficient debinding, and non-debinding. The set thresholds include a first threshold and a second threshold, and the second threshold is greater than the first threshold. When the vacuum value when the vacuum pen 100 sucks the die D is less than or equal to the first threshold, it indicates that the vacuum pen 100 can suck the die D with a relatively small suction force, so the degree of debinding output by the comparator 1102 is sufficient debinding. When the vacuum value when the vacuum pen 100 sucks the die D is greater than the first threshold and less than or equal to the second threshold, it indicates that the vacuum pen 100 needs to use a relatively large suction force to suck the die D, so the degree of debinding output by the comparator 1102 is insufficient debinding. When the vacuum value when the vacuum pen 100 sucks the die D is greater than the second threshold, it indicates that the vacuum pen 100 needs to use a very large suction force to suck the die D, or even if a very large suction force is used, it cannot suck the die D. The degree of debinding output by the comparator 1102 is non-debinding.

[0043] It can be seen from this that the first threshold and the second threshold are the judgment bases for the degree of debinding. And the second threshold is the upper limit value of the vacuum value for sucking the die D. When the vacuum value is greater than the second threshold, the suction force generated by the vacuum pen 100 is relatively large, which is likely to damage the die D. Therefore, the vacuum recorder 110 provided in this embodiment is also connected to the vacuum generator 101. And during the process of detecting the degree of debinding, the vacuum generator 101 has a first working state and a second working state. In the first working state, the vacuum generator 101 evacuates the vacuum pen 100 until the vacuum pen 100 sucks the die D, and the vacuum value when the vacuum pen 100 sucks the die D is less than or equal to the second threshold. Preferably, in this state, the vacuum generator 101 controls the vacuum value of the vacuum pen 100 to gradually increase from less than the first threshold, so as to accurately determine the vacuum value for sucking the die D, thereby improving the judgment of the degree of debinding. When the vacuum value of the vacuum pen 100 increases to the second threshold and the vacuum pen 100 still does not suck the die D, the vacuum generator 101 is in the second working state. In this state, after the instantaneous vacuum value of the vacuum generator 101 evacuating the vacuum pen 100 is greater than the second threshold, that is, when it is determined that the degree of debinding is non-debinding, the vacuum generator 101 stops evacuating the vacuum pen 100 to avoid damaging the die D.

[0044] It should be noted that the specific values of the first threshold and the second threshold are not limited in this embodiment, nor is the unit vacuum value for the vacuum generator 101 to adjust the vacuum pen 100 specifically defined. In this regard, it can be specifically set according to factors such as the size and material of different grains D.

[0045] Further, the feedback unit 12 is a communication transmission device or a connecting wire, which is respectively connected to the vacuum recorder 110 and the debonding machine 2. And when the debonding degree is insufficient debonding, the feedback unit 12 provides the vacuum value when the vacuum pen 100 sucks the grain D to the debonding machine 2, so that the debonding machine 2 adjusts the process parameters according to the vacuum value, thereby improving the debonding effect on the cutting film. Exemplarily, when the cutting film is a UV film, the debonding machine 1 is a UV machine, then the process parameters include but are not limited to UV irradiation energy and irradiation time.

[0046] Based on the same concept, this embodiment also provides a wafer debonding system. Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 , the wafer debonding system includes the above-mentioned detection device 1 and debonding machine 2. The detection device 1 and the debonding machine 2 can be two separate devices and are connected to each other, or can be integrated in the same device and connected. Among them, the debonding machine 2 is used to perform debonding on the wafer W with the cutting film attached. The detection device 1 is used to detect the debonding degree of the debonding machine 2 and feedback the debonding degree and the sucked vacuum value to the debonding machine 2, so as to facilitate the debonding machine 2 to optimize its process parameters and improve the debonding effect. Further, the feedback unit 12 in the detection device 1 can also long-term monitor the working state of the debonding machine 2 through the feedback of data information, so as to realize the failure warning of the debonding machine 2 before it reaches the service life and avoid affecting the process. It should be noted that according to the different materials of the cutting film, the types of the debonding machine 2 are also different. For example, when the cutting film is a UV film, the debonding machine 2 is a UV machine to achieve debonding through the irradiation of ultraviolet light.

[0047] In summary, in the detection device and the wafer debonding system provided in this embodiment, the vacuum pen 100 is used to suck the grain D on the wafer W, and the sucked vacuum value is used to characterize the debonding degree of the debonding machine 2 on the cutting film. It can not only judge whether the wafer W has been debonded, but also accurately quantify the debonding degree, and the operation is simple, which is beneficial to improving the process efficiency. In addition, the feedback unit 12 is also provided in the detection device 1. On the one hand, it can timely feedback the debonding degree to the debonding machine 2, which is beneficial to the debonding machine 2 to optimize its process parameters and improve the debonding effect; on the other hand, it can also monitor the aging state of the components in the debonding machine 2 for a long time and realize the warning of the machine failure.
