Description
Backgrind tape and method for manufacturing electronic device
[0001] The present invention relates to a backgrinding tape and a method for manufacturing an electronic device.
[0002] Some manufacturing methods for electronic devices include a process of backgrinding (grinding) the surface of the electronic component opposite to the circuit-formed surface after forming the circuit on the electronic component (e.g., semiconductor wafer, etc.). In these processes, backgrinding tape is used to protect the circuit-formed surface of the electronic component.
[0003] As a technique relating to backgrinding tape, for example, the technique described in Patent Document 1 can be mentioned.
[0004] Patent Document 1 describes an adhesive tape for protecting the surface of a semiconductor wafer, which comprises a base film and a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer provided on the base film, and which is used in a step of polishing the backside of a semiconductor wafer by laminating a semiconductor wafer having an uneven surface to the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer, the adhesive strength to SUS being 1.3 to 10.0 N / 25 mm when measured in accordance with JIS Z 0237 at a peel angle of 90° and a peel rate of 50 mm / min, and which is characterized in that the base film is flattened by grinding the unevenness formed by transferring the unevenness when the semiconductor wafer is laminated to the base film before polishing the backside of the semiconductor wafer. According to the adhesive tape for protecting the surface of a semiconductor wafer described in Patent Document 1, even if the back surface of the adhesive tape for protecting the surface of a semiconductor wafer, i.e., the base film, is ground, the adhesive tape for protecting the surface of a semiconductor wafer does not peel off from the semiconductor wafer, and the unevenness formed on the back surface of the adhesive tape for protecting the surface of a semiconductor wafer, which is formed when the semiconductor wafer is laminated and is transferred from the unevenness of the surface of the semiconductor wafer, can be flattened by grinding the base film, eliminating the need to separately mold a resin and then grind the resin, thereby preventing the process from becoming complicated. Furthermore, according to the adhesive tape for protecting the surface of a semiconductor wafer described in Patent Document 1, the back surface of the adhesive tape for protecting the surface of a semiconductor wafer can be flattened well, and as a result, the thickness accuracy when the back surface of the semiconductor wafer is polished is improved.

[0011] It is a cross-sectional view showing an example of the back grinding tape of the present embodiment. It is a view for explaining Method 1. It is a cross-sectional view showing an example of the structure in Step (A).
[0012] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In all drawings, similar components are designated by common reference numerals, and descriptions thereof will be omitted where appropriate. The drawings are schematic and do not correspond to actual dimensional ratios. Numerical ranges "A to B" represent A or more and B or less unless otherwise specified. In this specification, "(meth)acrylic" means "at least one of acrylic and methacrylic."
[0013] A conventional method for manufacturing an electronic device includes, for example, preparing a structure in which an electronic component and a backgrinding tape are bonded together, and grinding the surface of the electronic component in the structure opposite the surface to which the backgrinding tape is bonded. The inventors' investigations revealed that unevenness on the surface of the backgrinding tape opposite the electronic component in the structure before grinding can cause deterioration in the thickness accuracy of the electronic component after grinding. In particular, when the electronic component has an uneven structure, the thickness unevenness of the backgrinding tape tends to worsen.
[0014] The inventors have investigated a method for manufacturing an electronic device that improves the thickness accuracy of electronic components after grinding, which includes a step of grinding and flattening the surface of the backgrinding tape in a structure in which the electronic component and the backgrinding tape are bonded together before the step of grinding the electronic component.
[0015] However, the inventors' investigations have revealed that such a method for manufacturing an electronic device leaves room for improvement in terms of improving the thickness accuracy of the electronic components. Furthermore, the inventors have discovered that, with such a method for manufacturing an electronic device, there is a trade-off between the grinding properties of the backgrinding tape (hereinafter also referred to as "tape grinding properties") and the thickness accuracy of the electronic components.
[0016] The present invention has been made in consideration of the above circumstances, and provides a backgrinding tape and a method for manufacturing an electronic device that can improve the thickness accuracy of electronic components.Furthermore, the present invention can provide a backgrinding tape and a method for manufacturing an electronic device that can improve the performance balance between tape grinding ability and thickness accuracy of electronic components.

After the load is applied, the silicon wafer with the backgrind tape attached is cooled to 23 ° C., and then the backgrind tape is peeled off from the silicon wafer. The amount of deformation in the height direction at the point on the SB side of the backgrind tape where the shape of the groove M is transferred is taken as the embedding amount.

[0052] <Uses of Backgrind Tape> The backgrind tape 100 is a backgrind tape that can protect the circuit-forming surface of an electronic component during the process of grinding the electronic component, and is preferably a backgrind tape that can be used in a method for manufacturing an electronic device that includes a step of planarizing the surface of the backgrind tape prior to the step of grinding the electronic component. The backgrind tape 100 is more preferably used in the method for manufacturing an electronic device described below. A preferred aspect of the step of grinding the electronic component is the same as the preferred aspect of step (C) in the method for manufacturing an electronic device described below, and a preferred aspect of the step of planarizing the surface of the backgrind tape is the same as the preferred aspect of step (B) in the method for manufacturing an electronic device described below.
[0053] [Method for Manufacturing Electronic Device] The method for manufacturing an electronic device of this embodiment includes the steps of: preparing a structure including an electronic component having a circuit formation surface and a backgrind tape, the structure including the circuit formation surface of the electronic component and one surface (SB surface) of the backgrind tape bonded together; planarizing a surface (SA surface) of the backgrind tape opposite the SB surface in the structure; and, after step (B), grinding the surface of the electronic component opposite the circuit formation surface. The backgrind tape includes a resin layer (A) and a resin layer (B), the resin constituting the resin layer (A) having a Vicat softening point of 45°C or higher, and an embedding depth measured by Method 2 of 10 μm or higher.
[0054] [Method 2] A silicon wafer with a 50 μm wide, 70 μm deep groove M is heated to 90°C, and with the groove M in contact with the SB surface of the backgrind tape, a φ7 mm compression disk terminal is attached to a digital force gauge from the SA surface, and a load of 30 N is applied for 30 seconds. After the load is applied, the silicon wafer with the backgrind tape attached is cooled to 23°C, and then the backgrind tape is peeled off from the silicon wafer. The amount of deformation in the height direction at the point on the SB surface of the backgrind tape where the shape of the groove M is transferred is taken as the embedding amount.
[0055] The preferred embodiment of the backgrind tape used in the method for manufacturing an electronic device according to this embodiment is the same as the preferred embodiment of the backgrind tape described above. Note that the preferred embodiment of the embedding amount measured by Method 2 is the same as the preferred embodiment of the embedding amount measured by Method 1.
[0056] The electronic device in this embodiment is meant to include, for example, semiconductor devices, power semiconductor devices, semiconductor chips, semiconductor elements, printed wiring boards, electric circuit display devices, information and communication terminals, light-emitting diodes, physical batteries, chemical batteries, and other elements, devices, and final products to which electronic engineering technology is applied.
[0057] Each step in the manufacturing of the electronic device of this embodiment will be described below.
[0058] 3 is a cross-sectional view schematically illustrating an example of a structure in step (A). The method for manufacturing an electronic device according to the present embodiment includes step (A) of preparing structure 500, which includes electronic component 400 having circuit formation surface 400A and backgrinding tape 100, and in which circuit formation surface 400A of electronic component 400 is bonded to one surface (SB surface) of backgrinding tape 100.
[0059] The SB side of the backgrinding tape 100 may be any side of the backgrinding tape 100, but is preferably one side of the resin layer (B) 20 of the backgrinding tape 100 as shown in FIG.
[0060] The structure 500 can be produced by bonding the backgrind tape 100 to the circuit formation surface 400A of the electronic component 400. The method for bonding the backgrind tape 100 to the circuit formation surface 400A of the electronic component 400 is not particularly limited, and bonding can be performed by a known method. For example, the bonding may be performed manually or by a device called an automatic bonding machine to which a roll of backgrind tape 100 is attached.
[0061] When the backgrind tape 100 is bonded to the circuit formation surface 400A of the electronic component 400, for example, the bonding may be performed while heating at least one of the electronic component 400 and the backgrind tape 100. The heating temperature is not particularly limited, but may be, for example, 40°C or higher, 60°C or higher, 150°C or lower, or 120°C or lower.
[0062] The electronic component 400 is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include a semiconductor wafer, a sapphire substrate, a lithium tantalate substrate, a mold wafer, a mold panel, a mold array package, a semiconductor substrate, etc., among which a semiconductor wafer is preferable. Examples of the semiconductor wafer include a silicon wafer, a sapphire wafer, a germanium wafer, a germanium-arsenic wafer, a gallium-phosphorus wafer, a gallium-arsenic-aluminum wafer, a gallium-arsenic wafer, a lithium tantalate wafer, etc., among which a silicon wafer is preferable.
[0063] The circuit-forming surface 400A of the electronic component 400 has, for example, circuits such as wiring, capacitors, diodes, or transistors formed on its surface. The circuit-forming surface 400A may also be plasma-treated. The circuit-forming surface 400A of the electronic component 400 preferably has an uneven structure. Generally, when the circuit-forming surface 400A of the electronic component 400 has an uneven structure, the uneven structure tends to reduce the thickness accuracy of the structure 500, and the thickness accuracy of the electronic component 400 after grinding tends to be reduced. On the other hand, the method for manufacturing an electronic device according to the present embodiment is capable of improving the thickness accuracy of the electronic component, and therefore, even when the circuit-forming surface 400A of the electronic component 400 has an uneven structure, the thickness accuracy of the electronic component is improved.
[0064] The above-mentioned uneven structure preferably includes a bump electrode. For example, when mounting an electronic device on a mounting surface, the bump electrode is bonded to an electrode formed on the mounting surface to form an electrical connection between the electronic device and the mounting surface (such as the mounting surface of a printed circuit board). Examples of the bump electrode include ball bumps, printed bumps, stud bumps, plated bumps, and pillar bumps. That is, the bump electrode is usually a convex electrode. These bump electrodes may be used alone or in combination of two or more types.
[0065] The height of the bump electrode is preferably 2 μm or more, more preferably 5 μm or more, even more preferably 10 μm or more, even more preferably 50 μm or more, and preferably 600 μm or less, more preferably 500 μm or less, even more preferably 400 μm or less, and even more preferably 300 μm or less. The preferred range of the diameter of the bump electrode is the same as the preferred range of the height of the bump electrode. The bump pitch of the bump electrode is not particularly limited, but is preferably 5 μm or more, more preferably 50 μm or more, even more preferably 100 μm or more, and preferably 600 μm or less, more preferably 500 μm or less. Here, the bump pitch of the bump electrode means, when adjacent bumps A and B are present, the distance between the end of bump A on the bump B side and the end of bump B on the bump A side.
[0066] The metal species constituting the bump electrode is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include solder, silver, gold, copper, tin, lead, bismuth, and alloys thereof. These metal species may be used alone or in combination of two or more.
[0067] <Step (B)> The method for manufacturing an electronic device according to this embodiment includes a step (B) of flattening the SA surface of the backgrinding tape 100 in the structure 500. The step (B) is performed after the step (A). An optional step may be included between the step (A) and the step (B).
[0068] The SA side of the backgrinding tape 100 is the side opposite to the SB side of the backgrinding tape 100, and is preferably one side of the resin layer (A) 10 of the backgrinding tape 100 as shown in FIG.
[0069] After step (A), irregularities may occur on the SA surface of the backgrinding tape 100 in the structure 500. Step (B) is a step of smoothing out the irregularities that have occurred on the SA surface of the backgrinding tape 100.
[0070] In step (B), the method for flattening the SA surface of the backgrind tape 100 is not particularly limited, and may be appropriately selected depending on the depth of the concave portions (height of the convex portions) of the unevenness generated on the SA surface, and examples thereof include a method for flattening the SA surface by grinding, a method for flattening the SA surface by polishing, and a method for flattening the SA surface by cutting, and among these, a method for flattening the SA surface by grinding is preferred. In step (B), the specific method for flattening the SA surface of the backgrind tape 100 is not particularly limited, and may be appropriately selected, for example, from known grinding methods, known polishing methods, known cutting methods, and the like.
[0071] <Step (C)> The method for manufacturing an electronic device according to the present embodiment includes step (C) of grinding surface 400B of electronic component 400 opposite to the circuit formation surface. Step (C) is performed after step (B). An optional step may be included between steps (B) and (C).
[0072] Step (C) is a step of thinning electronic component 400 to a predetermined thickness without damaging it. For example, structure 500 is fixed to a chuck table or the like of a grinding machine, and surface 400B of electronic component 400 opposite the circuit formation surface is ground.
[0073] In step (C), electronic component 400 is ground until its thickness is equal to or less than a desired thickness. The thickness of electronic component 400 before grinding is determined appropriately depending on the diameter, type, etc. of electronic component 400, and the thickness of electronic component 400 after grinding is determined appropriately depending on the size of the resulting chip, type of circuit, etc.
[0074] The grinding method in step (C) is not particularly limited, and for example, a known grinding method can be used. Grinding can be performed while cooling the electronic component 400 and the grindstone by pouring water over them. If necessary, a dry polishing step, which is a grinding method that does not use grinding water, can be performed at the end of the grinding step.
[0075] After grinding the surface 400B of the electronic component 400 opposite the circuit-forming surface, chemical etching may be performed as needed. Chemical etching is performed by immersing the electronic component 400 with the backgrind tape 100 attached in an etching solution selected from the group consisting of an acidic aqueous solution consisting of a single or mixed solution of hydrofluoric acid, nitric acid, sulfuric acid, acetic acid, etc.; and an alkaline aqueous solution such as a potassium hydroxide aqueous solution or a sodium hydroxide aqueous solution. Etching is performed for the purposes of removing distortion generated on the back surface of the electronic component 400, further thinning the electronic component 400, removing oxide films, etc., and pretreatment for forming electrodes on the back surface. The etching solution is appropriately selected depending on the purpose.
[0076] <Step (D)> The method for manufacturing an electronic device according to the present embodiment preferably further includes a step (D) of removing the backgrind tape 100 from the structure 500. The step (D) is performed after the step (C). An optional step may be included between the step (C) and the step (D).
[0077] In step (D), the method for removing the backgrind tape 100 from the structure 500 is not particularly limited, and may be performed manually or by a device called an automatic peeling machine. In step (D), the backgrind tape 100 may be heated as needed, and the heating temperature may be in the range of 50°C or higher and 120°C or lower, for example.
[0078] The surface of the electronic component 400 after the backgrinding tape 100 has been removed may be cleaned as necessary. Examples of cleaning methods include wet cleaning such as water cleaning or solvent cleaning, and dry cleaning such as plasma cleaning. In the case of wet cleaning, ultrasonic cleaning may be used in combination. The cleaning method may be selected appropriately depending on the degree of contamination on the surface of the electronic component 400.
[0079] <Other Steps> The method for manufacturing an electronic device according to this embodiment may include other steps in addition to those described above. Examples of other steps include any step that is generally performed in the manufacturing process of electronic components, such as a resist step, a developing step, an ashing step, a sputtering step, a dicing step, a die bonding step, a wire bonding step, a flip-chip connection step, a cure heating test step, a sealing step, and a reflow step.

The obtained acrylic adhesive solution is referred to as Acrylic 1.
[0086] [Examples 1 and 2] A resin shown in Resin Layer (B) in Table 1 was extrusion-molded onto PET1 to form a film having the thickness shown in Resin Layer (B) in Table 1, thereby obtaining backgrind tapes of Examples 1 and 2, respectively.
[0087] Comparative Example 1 A backgrind tape of Comparative Example 1 was obtained by forming a film of LLDPE2 on PET1 by extrusion molding to a thickness of 95 μm.
[0088] Comparative Example 2 Acrylic 1 was applied onto PET 1 and dried to form a resin layer (B) having a thickness of 120 μm, thereby obtaining a backgrind tape of Comparative Example 2.
[0089] [Comparative Example 3] EVA1 was extruded to form a film having a thickness of 120 μm. Next, Acrylic 1 was applied to the formed EVA1 film and dried to form a resin layer (B) having a thickness of 110 μm, thereby obtaining a backgrind tape of Comparative Example 3.

[0091] [Evaluation and Measurement] <Measurement of Resin Density> The density of the resin [kg / m 3 ] was measured.
[0092] <Measurement of Vicat Softening Point of Resin> The Vicat softening point [°C] of the resin was measured in accordance with ASTM D 1525.
[0093] <Measurement of Backgrind Tape Embedding Amount> A silicon wafer having a groove M with a width of 50 μm and a depth of 70 μm was prepared. Next, the silicon wafer was heated to 90°C using a hot plate. With the groove M of the silicon wafer in contact with one side (SB side) of the backgrind tape, a φ7 mm compression disk terminal was set on a digital force gauge (manufactured by A&D Co., Ltd., product name: AD-4932A-50N) from the side (SA side) opposite the SB side of the backgrind tape, and a load of 30 N was applied for 30 seconds. The load was applied under the conditions of humidity: 50 RH% and atmosphere: air. After the load was applied, the silicon wafer with the backgrind tape attached was cooled to 23°C, and the backgrind tape was peeled off from the silicon wafer. The amount of deformation in the height direction of the area where the shape of the groove M was transferred on the SB side of the backgrind tape was measured using a shape analysis laser microscope (Keyence Corporation, product name: VK-X1000). The surface irregularities were measured, and the height of the convex portion was obtained from the profile. This height was used as the embedding amount [μm]. In measuring the embedding amount, the silicon wafer size was Φ200 mm, the silicon wafer thickness was 725 μm, and the backgrind tape size was 30 mm × 30 mm. The groove M was rectangular and formed across the wafer. That is, the groove M was 50 μm wide and 200 mm long (wafer diameter). The position of the groove M was the center of the silicon wafer surface, and the position where the Φ7 mm compression disk terminal was set was above the groove M.
[0094] <Evaluation of Grindability> The silicon wafer and the backgrind tape were bonded together so that the circuit-forming surface of the silicon wafer (height of the circuit-forming surface: 35 μm) was in contact with the SB side of the backgrind tape, thereby obtaining a structure in which the silicon wafer and the backgrind tape were bonded together. Next, the SA side of the backgrind tape of the obtained structure was ground using a tape grinder (manufactured by Disco Corporation, product name: DMG8762). The grindability was evaluated according to the following criteria: A: The SA side of the backgrind tape could be ground without any problems. B: The SA side of the backgrind tape was difficult to grind. C: The SA side of the backgrind tape could not be ground.
[0095] <Evaluation of Thickness Precision> After the evaluation of grindability, the structure was ground on the surface of the silicon wafer opposite to the circuit-formed surface using a wafer grinding machine (manufactured by Disco Corporation, product name: DGP8760). Next, the backgrinding tape was peeled off from the structure. The difference between the maximum and minimum thicknesses of the silicon wafer (TTV) was measured. Evaluation was made according to the following criteria: A: TTV is 5 μm or less. B: TTV is greater than 5 μm.
[0096] Here, the evaluation of grindability can be said to have been carried out by performing steps (A) and (B) in the manufacturing method of the electronic device of this embodiment, and the evaluation of thickness accuracy can be said to have been carried out by performing steps (C) and (D) in the manufacturing method of the electronic device of this embodiment.
[0097] In the [Measurement and Evaluation], the resin layer (A) side of the backgrind tapes in Examples 1 and 2 and Comparative Examples 1 to 3 was measured and evaluated as the SA side and the resin layer (B) side as the SB side. The backgrind tape in Comparative Example 4 was measured with one arbitrary side as the SB side and the side opposite to the SB side as the SA side.
[0098] The results of the measurements and evaluations are shown in Table 1.
[0099]
[0100] As can be seen from Table 1, the backgrinding tape of the example had good evaluation results for thickness accuracy. In other words, it can be seen that the backgrinding tape of this embodiment can improve the thickness accuracy of the obtained electronic component.
[0101] Furthermore, the backgrinding tapes of the examples were evaluated for good grinding properties. That is, it can be seen that the backgrinding tape of this embodiment can improve the performance balance between tape grinding properties and the thickness accuracy of the resulting electronic components.
