Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of semiconductor equipment technology, and in particular to a coating and cutting device and a sputtering machine. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of the semiconductor industry, an electromagnetic shielding layer is typically formed outside the package structure to prevent interference with chip operation. The fabrication process for this electromagnetic shielding layer usually utilizes sputtering. The traditional sputtering process involves placing the wafer on a dicing film to cut it into individual products, and then using a mounting process to attach these individual products onto the sputtered coating. The sputtered coating protects the solder balls at the bottom of the chip, preventing short circuits caused by metal sputtering between the solder balls. This sputtering process requires chip flipping to replace the adhesive layer, which can easily lead to residual adhesive. Furthermore, during wafer reconstruction, the spacing between adjacent chips is not fixed, which can easily cause uneven metal layer sputtering. Utility Model Content

Furthermore, it helps improve sputtering efficiency and sputtering uniformity.

[0036] The following detailed description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, outlines some embodiments of the present invention. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.

[0037] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 The coating cutting device 100 provided in this embodiment can be applied to processes such as wafer 210 cutting and sputtering. It eliminates the need to replace the coating tape 140, avoiding residual adhesive problems during replacement and saving on the amount of coating tape 140 used. Furthermore, it helps improve sputtering efficiency and sputtering uniformity.

[0038] The coating and cutting apparatus 100 includes a first mold 110, a second mold 130, and a carrier tray 150. The first mold 110 is provided with an adsorption section 113 and a cutting section 114. The second mold 130 is provided with a first lifting mechanism 131, a cutting platform 132, and a coating tape 140, which is laid on the cutting platform 132. The coating tape 140 is used to mount the wafer 210 to be cut; the first lifting mechanism 131 is connected to the cutting platform 132. The carrier tray 150 is disposed on the coating tape 140; the adsorption section 113 can adsorb the carrier tray 150 when energized. With the first mold 110 and the second mold 130 in the closed state, the cutting section 114 can cut and separate the wafer 210 to be cut; the cutting platform 132 can cause the coating tape 140 to break under the action of the first lifting mechanism 131; the adsorption section 113 adsorbs the carrier tray 150 and can transfer the broken coating tape 140 and the cut and separated wafer 210 on the coating tape 140 together. By setting the coating tape 140 on the cutting platform 132, the wafer 210 is placed on the coating tape 140. After the wafer 210 is cut, the coating tape 140 still holds the separated wafer 210 together, which is convenient for the whole assembly to be moved to the sputtering carrier 220. The coating tape 140 can still protect the bumps on the bottom of the chip during the sputtering process. There is no need to replace the coating tape 140 during the whole process, avoiding the problem of residual adhesive. It also improves the cutting and sputtering efficiency and reduces the amount of coating tape 140 used. In addition, the cutting platform 132 can lift to cause the coating tape 140 to break. Before the coating tape 140 breaks, the coating tape 140 expands to increase the spacing between chips on the coating tape 140, which is beneficial to improving the subsequent sputtering quality and sputtering uniformity.

[0039] Optionally, the first mold 110 includes an upper housing 111 and a pressing rod 112, with the pressing rod 112 disposed inside the upper housing 111. The pressing rod 112 is disposed opposite to the cutting platform 132. One end of the pressing rod 112 facing the second mold 130 is provided with an adsorption part 113 and a cutting part 114; the adsorption part 113 is disposed around the cutting part 114.

[0040] It is understood that the dicing platform 132 is provided with a coating tape 140, on which the wafer 210 to be diced is placed. The dicing section 114 is set corresponding to the position on the dicing platform 132 where the wafer 210 is placed, and the dicing section 114 can be designed according to the dicing grooves on the wafer 210. The adsorption section 113 can adsorb the carrier disk 150 when the power is on, and can release the carrier disk 150 when the power is off.

[0041] Combination Figure 3 Optionally, the cutting section 114 includes a rotating shaft 120 rotatably connected to the pressing rod 112, and a cutting disk 124 is provided on the rotating shaft 120 for cutting the wafer 210. Optionally, the rotating shaft 120 includes a first segment 121, a second segment 122, and a third segment 123 connected in sequence, with the first segment 121 and the third segment 123 arranged opposite to each other; the first segment 121 and the third segment 123 are rotatably connected to the pressing rod 112 respectively; the cutting disk 124 is provided on the second segment 122.

[0042] In this embodiment, to improve cutting efficiency, multiple cutting disks 124 are designed and spaced apart on the second segment 122. The positions of the cutting disks 124 correspond to the cutting tracks on the wafer 210.

[0043] Optionally, the pressing rod 112 is provided with two opposing fixed posts 126, and the first segment 121 and the third segment 123 are rotatably connected to the fixed posts 126 respectively. It can be understood that the pressing rod 112 has a groove 125, and the rotating shaft 120 can rotate within the groove 125 to achieve the flipping of the cutting disk 124. When wafer 210 needs to be cut, the cutting disk 124 flips to a position close to the cutting platform 132. When cutting is not required, the cutting disk 124 flips to a position away from the cutting platform 132.

[0044] Optionally, the first mold 110 also includes a second lifting mechanism 115, which is connected to the pressing rod 112. When cutting is required, the second lifting mechanism 115 drives the pressing rod 112 to move downward, improving the reliability of cutting.

[0045] Optionally, the dicing platform 132 is provided with a placement stage 133, which is disposed opposite to the carrier tray 150. The surface of the placement stage 133 is lower than the surface of the dicing platform 132. The carrier tray 150 is placed on the coating tape 140. When the first mold 110 and the second mold 130 are pressed together, the carrier tray 150 presses the coating tape 140 down onto the placement stage 133. It can be understood that when the dicing platform 132 rises and causes the coating tape 140 to break, it means that the coating tape 140 on the outer periphery of the carrier tray 150 is torn off, that is, the break of the coating tape 140 is located on the side of the carrier tray 150 away from the wafer 210.

[0046] Optionally, the second mold 130 is provided with a clamping part 134 for clamping the coated tape 140. This allows the cutting platform 132 to expand the coated tape 140 during movement and then tear it.

[0047] This utility model embodiment also provides a sputtering machine, including a sputtering carrier 220 and the aforementioned coating cutting device 100. After the coating tape 140 is broken in the coating cutting device 100, it is transferred to the sputtering carrier 220 to perform metal sputtering on a single product to form an electromagnetic shielding layer 230.

[0048] The working principle of the coating cutting device 100 provided in this embodiment of the utility model is as follows:

[0049] like Figure 1 As shown, the coating tape 140 is placed above the dicing platform 132, and its outer periphery is clamped and fixed by the clamping part 134 on the second mold 130. The mounting tray 150 is placed on the coating tape 140. Then, the reconstructed and ball-mounted wafer 210 is placed on the coating tape 140, with the wafer 210 directly above the dicing platform 132. The solder balls 211 at the bottom of the wafer 210 are embedded in the coating tape 140, and the coating tape 140 protects the solder balls 211. The coating tape 140 can be a dicing film or an adhesive film, etc., and is not specifically limited here.

[0050] like Figure 2 As shown, the first mold 110 and the second mold 130 close together, and the rotating shaft 120 on the first mold 110 flips, using the dicing disc 124 to cut the wafer 210. It should be noted that the dicing disc 124 only cuts the wafer 210 into individual products; it does not cut the coating tape 140. That is, the multiple individual products after cutting and separation are still bonded together by the coating tape 140.

[0051] It is understandable that the carrier disk 150 can also be first adsorbed onto the adsorption part 113 of the first mold 110. After the first mold 110 and the second mold 130 are closed, the carrier disk 150 is bonded and fixed onto the coating tape 140. Then, the power is turned off, and the adsorption part 113 of the first mold 110 and the carrier disk 150 are separated.

[0052] like Figure 4As shown, after cutting, the rotating shaft 120 flips again, causing the cutting disk 124 to stop cutting the wafer 210. The first lifting mechanism 131 drives the cutting platform 132 to rise, i.e., move towards the first mold 110. Since the periphery of the coating tape 140 is fixed, the cutting platform 132, located in the middle of the coating tape 140, lifts the wafer 210 and the coating tape 140 upwards as a whole. The coating tape 140 expands outwards under force, thereby increasing the distance between the multiple individual products on the coating tape 140. The increased distance between individual products is beneficial to improving the uniformity of sputtering in the subsequent sputtering process. As the cutting platform 132 continues to move upwards, the tensile force on the coating tape 140 continues to increase until the coating tape 140 breaks. It is easy to understand that the fracture surface of the coating tape 140 is located between the carrier disk 150 and the clamping part 134. And during this process, the cutting platform 132 rises, causing the carrier disk 150 to press the coating tape 140 onto the placement stage 133.

[0053] like Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, the first mold 110 and the second mold 130 are separated. Then, the adsorption unit 113 moves to the carrier plate 150 again and is powered on to adsorb the carrier plate 150. Since the carrier plate 150 has been bonded and fixed to the coating tape 140, the adsorption unit 113 transfers the coating tape 140 on the cutting platform 132 and the multiple single products on the coating tape 140 to the sputtering carrier 220.

[0054] Combination Figure 7 The coating tape 140 protects the solder balls 211 at the bottom of the individual product and can directly form an electromagnetic shielding layer 230 by metal sputtering on the individual product.

[0055] It should be noted that after the coating tape 140 breaks, other adsorption devices can also be used to adsorb and transfer the carrier disk 150; no specific limitation is made here.

[0056] Throughout the process, there is no need to replace the laminating tape 140, saving time and effort and increasing work efficiency. It also avoids the problem of residual adhesive left after tape replacement, and saves laminating tape 140, reducing its usage.

[0057] In summary, the coating cutting device 100 and sputtering machine provided in this embodiment of the present invention have the following beneficial effects:

[0058] The coating and dicing apparatus 100 provided in this embodiment of the invention features a coating tape 140 mounted on a dicing platform 132. Wafers 210 are placed on the coating tape 140. After dicing, the coating tape 140 retains the separated wafers 210 together, facilitating their overall transfer to the sputtering carrier 220. The coating tape 140 continues to protect the bumps on the bottom of the chip during the sputtering process. The coating tape 140 does not need to be replaced throughout the process, avoiding residual adhesive. This also improves dicing and sputtering efficiency and reduces the amount of coating tape 140 used. Furthermore, the dicing platform 132 can lift the coating tape 140, causing it to break. Before the tape breaks, it expands to increase the spacing between chips on the tape, thereby improving subsequent sputtering quality and uniformity.

[0059] The sputtering machine provided in this embodiment includes the above-mentioned coating cutting device 100, which has high cutting and sputtering efficiency, good sputtering uniformity, and is conducive to improving sputtering quality.

[0060] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
