Abstract
Description
Method for manufacturing laminate and processed semiconductor substrate
[0001] The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a stack and a processed semiconductor substrate.
[0002] Semiconductor wafers have traditionally been integrated in a two-dimensional plane, but for the purpose of further integration, semiconductor integration technology is required that integrates (stacks) the plane in a three-dimensional plane as well. This three-dimensional stacking is a technology that integrates multiple layers while connecting them using through silicon vias (TSVs). When integrating multiple layers, each wafer to be integrated is thinned by polishing the side opposite the circuit surface (i.e., the backside), and the thinned semiconductor wafers are stacked.
[0003] Semiconductor wafers (herein simply referred to as wafers) before thinning are bonded to a support in preparation for polishing with a polishing device. This bond must be easily peeled off after polishing, and is therefore called a temporary bond. This temporary bond must be easily removed from the support; applying a large force to remove it can cause the thinned semiconductor wafer to break or deform, so it must be easily removed to prevent this from happening. However, it is undesirable for the temporary bond to become dislodged or shifted due to the polishing stress during polishing of the backside of the semiconductor wafer. Therefore, the performance required of the temporary bond is to withstand the stress during polishing and be easily removed after polishing.
[0004] As temporary adhesives used for such temporary bonding, adhesives containing polydimethylsiloxane (Patent Document 1), temporary adhesives containing epoxy-modified polysiloxane (Patent Document 2), etc. have been proposed. In these techniques, the support and the semiconductor wafer are separated by inserting a sharp part of a device having a sharp part called a debonder into the layer of the temporary adhesive.
[0005] On the other hand, there have been proposals for peeling a support and a semiconductor wafer using infrared rays. For example, there has been proposed an infrared peeling adhesive composition that can be peeled off by infrared irradiation, and that contains a component (A) that cures by a hydrosilylation reaction and at least one component (B) selected from the group consisting of a component containing an epoxy-modified polyorganosiloxane, a component containing a methyl group-containing polyorganosiloxane, and a component containing a phenyl group-containing polyorganosiloxane (Patent Document 3). Furthermore, a method for peeling a laminate has been proposed, which includes a first step of bonding a first substrate formed of a semiconductor substrate and a second substrate formed of a support substrate transparent to infrared laser light via a first adhesive layer provided on the first substrate side and a second adhesive layer provided on the second substrate side, the first adhesive layer being an adhesive layer obtained by curing an adhesive (A) containing a component that cures via a hydrosilylation reaction, and the second adhesive layer being an adhesive layer obtained using an adhesive (B) that is a polymer adhesive having an aromatic ring in at least one of the main chain and the side chain and that is transparent to infrared laser light, and a second step of irradiating the laminate with an infrared laser from the second substrate side to peel the first adhesive layer from the second adhesive layer (Patent Document 4). In infrared peeling, the infrared irradiation alters the adhesive, making peeling easier.

[0007] The techniques described in Patent Documents 1 and 2 require a certain degree of insertion force when using equipment with sharp edges for peeling, which can result in problems such as a long processing time and damage to the semiconductor wafer or supporting substrate. The techniques described in Patent Documents 3 and 4 require sufficient irradiation with an infrared laser to facilitate peeling, but in this case, problems can arise such as a long processing time and deterioration of the adhesive, which can result in reduced cleanability.
[0008] An object of the present invention is to provide a laminate that can be peeled off using an infrared laser in a short processing time, with minimal damage to a substrate, and with good cleanability, and to provide a method for producing a processed semiconductor substrate or electronic device layer using the laminate.

[0013] (Laminate) The laminate according to the present invention includes a first substrate, a second substrate, an adhesive layer, and an infrared absorbing layer. The first substrate is a semiconductor substrate or an electronic device layer. The second substrate is a support substrate that transmits infrared laser light.
[0014] The adhesive layer and the infrared absorbing layer are disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate.
[0015] In the present invention, an adhesive layer and an infrared absorbing layer are provided between the first substrate and the second substrate. By providing the laminate with an infrared absorbing layer that absorbs infrared laser light, the first substrate and the second substrate can be separated with a small amount of infrared laser irradiation. This reduces the processing time. Furthermore, peeling using a material with sharp edges is not required, and even when a material with sharp edges is used in combination, the insertion force can be reduced, resulting in less damage to the substrates. By providing the laminate with an infrared absorbing layer that absorbs infrared laser light, excessive deterioration of the adhesive layer due to the infrared laser can be avoided. The reduced deterioration of the adhesive layer results in good cleanability of the adhesive layer.
[0016] The laminate of the present invention is used for temporary bonding when processing a semiconductor substrate or an electronic device layer, and can be suitably used for processing such as thinning of a semiconductor substrate or an electronic device layer. While the semiconductor substrate is being processed such as thinning, the semiconductor substrate is supported by a support substrate. On the other hand, after processing of the semiconductor substrate, the support substrate and the semiconductor substrate are separated. Also, while the electronic device layer is being processed such as thinning, the electronic device layer is supported by a support substrate. On the other hand, after processing of the electronic device layer, the support substrate and the electronic device layer are subsequently separated. Residues of the infrared absorbing layer or adhesive layer remaining on the semiconductor substrate, electronic device layer, or support substrate after separation of the semiconductor substrate or electronic device layer from the support substrate can be removed, for example, with a cleaning composition for cleaning semiconductor substrates, etc.
[0017] In the present invention, it is preferable that the insertion force (Fb) required to insert the sharp portion of a substrate having a sharp portion between the first and second substrates to separate the first and second substrates after irradiating the infrared absorbing layer with an infrared laser is smaller than the insertion force (Fa) required to insert the sharp portion between the first and second substrates without irradiating the infrared absorbing layer with an infrared laser. The insertion force is expressed as an absolute value. Examples of the insertion force (Fa) include 0.1 N to 100 N.
[0018] The ratio (Fb / Fa) of the insertion force (Fa) to the insertion force (Fb) is not particularly limited, but is preferably less than 1.0, more preferably 0.9 or less, and even more preferably 0.6 or less. The lower limit of the ratio (Fb / Fa) is not particularly limited, but the ratio (Fb / Fa) may be 0.01 or more, 0.05 or more, or 0.1 or more. The insertion force is measured, for example, as follows. After a laminate is obtained by temporarily bonding a semiconductor substrate or electronic device layer and a support substrate via an infrared absorbing layer and an adhesive layer, peeling is performed using a peeling device. During peeling, a scraper blade (manufactured by Esco Corporation; blade thickness 0.2 mm) is attached to the tip of a Newton meter, and the blade is inserted between the semiconductor substrate or electronic device layer and the support substrate parallel to the substrate to form a peel trigger. At this time, the maximum force required to insert the blade is measured with a force gauge and used as the insertion force. The insertion force can be measured using, for example, a force gauge or a texture analyzer. The force gauge value representing the insertion force is an absolute value.
[0019] The laminate will be described in detail below, with respect to cases where the laminate has a semiconductor substrate and cases where the laminate has an electronic device layer. The case where the laminate has a semiconductor substrate will be described in the following <First embodiment>, and the case where the laminate has an electronic device layer will be described in the following <Second embodiment>.
[0020] <First embodiment> A stacked body having a semiconductor substrate is used for processing the semiconductor substrate.

The shape of the semiconductor substrate is not particularly limited, and may be, for example, a disk. Note that the surface of a disk-shaped semiconductor substrate does not need to be perfectly circular; for example, the outer periphery of the semiconductor substrate may have a straight line portion called an orientation flat or a notch. The thickness of the disk-shaped semiconductor substrate may be determined appropriately depending on the intended use of the semiconductor substrate, and is not particularly limited, and is, for example, 500 to 1,000 μm. The diameter of the disk-shaped semiconductor substrate may be determined appropriately depending on the intended use of the semiconductor substrate, and is not particularly limited, and is, for example, 100 to 1,000 mm.
[0022] The semiconductor substrate may have bumps. Bumps are protruding terminals. Bumps are, for example, electrodes. When the semiconductor substrate has bumps in a laminate, the bumps are located on the supporting substrate side. In a semiconductor substrate, the bumps are usually formed on the surface on which a circuit is formed. The circuit may be single-layered or multi-layered. The shape of the circuit is not particularly limited. In a semiconductor substrate, the surface opposite to the surface having the bumps (the back surface) is the surface used for processing. The material, size, shape, structure, and density of the bumps on the semiconductor substrate are not particularly limited. Examples of bumps include ball bumps, printed bumps, stud bumps, and plated bumps. The height, radius, and pitch of the bumps are usually determined appropriately based on the following conditions: a bump height of approximately 1 to 200 μm, a bump radius of 1 to 200 μm, and a bump pitch of 1 to 500 μm. Examples of materials for the bump include low-melting-point solder, high-melting-point solder, tin, indium, gold, silver, and copper. The bump may be composed of only a single component, or may be composed of multiple components. More specifically, examples include alloy platings mainly containing Sn, such as SnAg bumps, SnBi bumps, Sn bumps, and AuSn bumps. The bump may also have a layered structure including a metal layer composed of at least one of these components.
[0023] An example of a semiconductor substrate is a silicon wafer with a diameter of about 300 mm and a thickness of about 770 μm.
[0024] <<Support Substrate>> The support substrate is not particularly limited as long as it is a member that can support a semiconductor substrate when the semiconductor substrate is processed and is transparent to an infrared laser, and examples thereof include a silicon support substrate.
[0025] The shape of the support substrate is not particularly limited, but may be, for example, a disk shape. The disk-shaped support substrate does not need to have a perfectly circular surface; for example, the outer periphery of the support substrate may have a straight line portion called an orientation flat, or a notch. The thickness of the disk-shaped support substrate may be determined appropriately depending on the size of the semiconductor substrate, etc., and is not particularly limited, but is, for example, 500 to 1,000 μm. The diameter of the disk-shaped support substrate may be determined appropriately depending on the size of the semiconductor substrate, etc., and is not particularly limited, but is, for example, 100 to 1,000 mm.
[0026] An example of the support substrate is a silicon wafer with a diameter of about 300 mm and a thickness of about 700 μm.
[0027] <<Adhesive Layer>> The adhesive layer is provided between the support substrate and the semiconductor substrate. The adhesive layer is in contact with, for example, the semiconductor substrate. The adhesive layer may be in contact with, for example, the support substrate. The adhesive layer is, for example, an adhesive layer formed from an adhesive composition.
[0028] <<<Adhesive Composition>>> The adhesive composition contains, for example, an adhesive component. The adhesive composition may or may not contain a release agent component. The infrared laser irradiation of the infrared absorbing layer does not necessarily have to be performed on the entire area of the infrared absorbing layer. When only a part of the infrared absorbing layer is irradiated with the infrared laser, it is preferable that the adhesive layer itself has releasability. In this regard, it is preferable that the adhesive composition contains a release agent component.
[0029] <Adhesive Component> The adhesive component has, for example, a siloxane bond.
[0030] The adhesive component is not particularly limited, but is preferably a component that cures, and more preferably a component that cures by a hydrosilylation reaction.

Hereinafter, the combination of component (A-1), component (A-2), and platinum group metal catalyst (A-3) may be referred to as "curable component (A)" or "component (A)."

[0051] The weight average molecular weight of polysiloxanes such as polyorganosiloxane (a1) and polyorganosiloxane (a2) is not particularly limited, but is usually 500 to 1,000,000, and from the viewpoint of realizing the effects of the present invention with good reproducibility, it is preferably 5,000 to 50,000. In the present invention, the weight average molecular weight, number average molecular weight, and dispersity of the polyorganosiloxane can be measured using, for example, a GPC apparatus (EcoSEC, HLC-8320GPC manufactured by Tosoh Corporation) and a GPC column (TSKgel SuperMultiporeHZ-N, TSKgel SuperMultiporeHZ-H manufactured by Tosoh Corporation), a column temperature of 40 ° C., tetrahydrofuran as an eluent (elution solvent), a flow rate (flow rate) of 0.35 mL / min, and polystyrene (Shodex manufactured by Showa Denko K.K.) as a standard sample.
[0052] The viscosities of the polyorganosiloxane (a1) and the polyorganosiloxane (a2) are not particularly limited, but are usually 10 to 1,000,000 (mPa s), and from the viewpoint of realizing the effects of the present invention with good reproducibility, are preferably 50 to 10,000 (mPa s). The viscosities of the polyorganosiloxane (a1) and the polyorganosiloxane (a2) are values measured at 25 ° C. using an E-type rotational viscometer.
[0053] Polyorganosiloxane (a1) and polyorganosiloxane (a2) react with each other via a hydrosilylation reaction, and therefore the curing mechanism is different from that via, for example, silanol groups, and therefore neither siloxane needs to contain a silanol group or a functional group that forms a silanol group upon hydrolysis, such as an alkyloxy group.
[0054] <<Platinum Group Metal Catalyst (A-3)>> The platinum group metal catalyst is a platinum-based metal catalyst that promotes the hydrosilylation reaction between an alkenyl group and a Si—H group.
[0055] Specific examples of platinum-based metal catalysts that can be used include known platinum-based compounds (platinum or compounds containing platinum). Specific examples include platinum fine powder, platinum black, chloroplatinic acid, alcohol-modified chloroplatinic acid, complexes of chloroplatinic acid and diolefins, platinum-olefin complexes, platinum-carbonyl complexes (platinum bis(acetoacetate), platinum bis(acetylacetonate), etc.), chloroplatinic acid-alkenylsiloxane complexes (chloroplatinic acid-divinyltetramethyldisiloxane complex, chloroplatinic acid-tetravinyltetramethylcyclotetrasiloxane complex, etc.), platinum-alkenylsiloxane complexes (platinum-divinyltetramethyldisiloxane complex, platinum-tetravinyltetramethylcyclotetrasiloxane complex, etc.), and complexes of chloroplatinic acid and acetylene alcohols. Among these, platinum-alkenylsiloxane complexes are particularly preferred due to their high hydrosilylation reaction-accelerating effect. These hydrosilylation reaction catalysts may be used either individually or in combination of two or more.
[0056] The alkenylsiloxane used in the platinum-alkenylsiloxane complex is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include 1,3-divinyl-1,1,3,3-tetramethyldisiloxane, 1,3,5,7-tetramethyl-1,3,5,7-tetravinylcyclotetrasiloxane, alkenylsiloxane oligomers in which some of the methyl groups of these alkenylsiloxanes have been substituted with ethyl groups, phenyl groups, etc., and alkenylsiloxane oligomers in which the vinyl groups of these alkenylsiloxanes have been substituted with allyl groups, hexenyl groups, etc. 1,3-divinyl-1,1,3,3-tetramethyldisiloxane is particularly preferred because the resulting platinum-alkenylsiloxane complex has good stability.
[0057] The content of the platinum group metal catalyst (A-3) in the adhesive composition is not particularly limited, but is, for example, in the range of 0.1 to 50.0 ppm relative to the total mass of component (A-1) and component (A-2).
[0058] <<Polymerization Inhibitor>> The adhesive component may contain a polymerization inhibitor for the purpose of inhibiting the progress of the hydrosilylation reaction. The polymerization inhibitor is not particularly limited as long as it can inhibit the progress of the hydrosilylation reaction, and specific examples include alkynyl alcohols such as 1-ethynyl-1-cyclohexanol and 1,1-diphenyl-2-propyn-1-ol. The amount of the polymerization inhibitor is not particularly limited, but is, for example, typically 1,000.0 ppm or more relative to the total amount of polyorganosiloxane (a1) and polyorganosiloxane (a2) from the viewpoint of obtaining the effect, and 10,000.0 ppm or less from the viewpoint of preventing excessive inhibition of the hydrosilylation reaction.
[0059] The content of the adhesive component in the adhesive composition is not particularly limited, but from the viewpoint of suitably obtaining the effects of the present invention, it is preferably 30% by mass or more, more preferably 50% by mass or more, and particularly preferably 70% by mass or more, relative to the non-volatile content of the adhesive composition. The upper limit is not particularly limited, but may be, for example, 95% by mass or less, 90% by mass or less, or 85% by mass or less. The non-volatile content of the adhesive composition refers to components other than the solvent in the adhesive composition.
[0060] <Release Agent Component> The release agent component is not particularly limited, but from the viewpoint of more suitably obtaining the effects of the present invention, polyorganosiloxane is preferred. The polyorganosiloxane as the release agent component usually does not react with the adhesive component. For example, the polyorganosiloxane as the release agent component is a component that does not undergo a hydrosilylation reaction.
[0061] Polyorganosiloxane usually contains siloxane units (D units), but may also contain Q units, M units, and T units. For example, when consisting of only D units, when a combination of D units and Q units, when a combination of D units and M units, when a combination of D units and T units, when a combination of D units, Q units, and M units, when a combination of D units, M units, and T units, when a combination of D units, Q units, M units, and T units, and when a combination of D units, Q units, M units, and T units, etc. can be mentioned.

Furthermore, its dispersity is not particularly limited, but is typically 1.0 to 10.0. From the viewpoint of reproducibly achieving suitable release, it is preferably 1.5 to 5.0, more preferably 2.0 to 3.0. The weight-average molecular weight and dispersity can be measured using the method described above for polyorganosiloxane. The viscosity of the epoxy group-containing polyorganosiloxane is not particularly limited, but is typically 1,000 to 2,000,000 mm. 2 The viscosity value of the epoxy group-containing polyorganosiloxane is expressed as a kinematic viscosity, and is expressed as centistokes (cSt) = mm 2 Viscosity (mPa s) is converted to density (g / cm 3 That is, the value can be calculated from the viscosity and density measured with an E-type rotational viscometer at 25°C, and the kinematic viscosity (mm 2 / s)=viscosity (mPa・s) / density (g / cm 3 ) can be calculated using the formula:

A method for forming an infrared absorbing layer from an infrared absorbent composition will be described in detail below in the description of <<An example of a method for producing a laminate in the first embodiment>>.
[0137] An example of the configuration of the laminate of the first embodiment will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows a schematic cross-sectional view of an example of the laminate of the first embodiment. The laminate of FIG. 1 has a semiconductor substrate 1, an adhesive layer 2, an infrared absorbing layer 3, and a support substrate 4, in this order. The adhesive layer 2 and the infrared absorbing layer 3 are provided between the semiconductor substrate 1 and the support substrate 4. The adhesive layer 2 is in contact with the semiconductor substrate 1. The infrared absorbing layer 3 is in contact with the adhesive layer 2 and the support substrate 4.
[0138] <<Manufacturing Method of an Example of the Laminate in the First Embodiment>> A method for manufacturing a laminate will be described below using the laminate shown in Fig. 1 as an example of the laminate in the first embodiment. An example of the laminate of the present invention can be manufactured, for example, by a method including the following first to third steps. First step: A step of applying an adhesive composition onto a semiconductor substrate to form an adhesive coating layer. Second step: A step of applying an infrared absorber composition onto a support substrate to form an infrared absorbing layer. Third step: A step of heating the adhesive coating layer while the adhesive coating layer and the infrared absorbing layer are in contact with each other to form an adhesive layer.
[0139] The method for applying the adhesive composition is not particularly limited, but is typically spin coating. Alternatively, a method can be employed in which a coating film is formed separately by spin coating or the like, a sheet-like coating film is formed, and the sheet-like coating film is then applied as an adhesive coating layer. The heating temperature of the applied adhesive composition cannot be generally specified because it varies depending on the type and amount of adhesive components contained in the adhesive composition, whether or not a solvent is contained, the boiling point of the solvent used, the desired thickness of the adhesive layer, and other factors. However, it is typically 80 to 150°C, and the heating time is typically 30 seconds to 5 minutes. When the adhesive composition contains a solvent, the applied adhesive composition is typically heated. The thickness of the adhesive coating layer obtained by applying the adhesive composition and, if necessary, heating it is typically about 5 to 500 μm, and is appropriately determined so as to ultimately achieve the above-mentioned range of adhesive layer thickness.
[0140] The method for applying the infrared absorbent composition is not particularly limited, but is usually spin coating. The heating temperature of the applied infrared absorbent composition cannot be generally specified because it varies depending on the type and amount of infrared absorbent contained in the infrared absorbent composition, the desired thickness of the infrared absorbing layer, etc., but from the viewpoint of reproducibly achieving a suitable infrared absorbing layer, it is 80°C or higher and 300°C or lower, and the heating time is usually appropriately determined within the range of 10 seconds to 10 minutes depending on the heating temperature. The heating temperature is preferably 100°C or higher and 280°C or lower, more preferably 150°C or higher and 250°C or lower. The heating time is preferably 30 seconds to 8 minutes, more preferably 1 minute to 5 minutes. Heating can be performed using a hot plate, oven, or the like. The thickness of the infrared absorbing layer obtained by applying the infrared absorbent composition and, if necessary, heating it is usually about 5 nm to 100 μm.
[0141] In the present invention, the laminate of the present invention can be obtained by placing such coating layers in contact with each other, applying a load in the thickness direction of the semiconductor substrate and the supporting substrate while performing a heat treatment or a decompression treatment, or both, to bring the two layers into close contact, and then performing a post-heat treatment. Note that whether to adopt the treatment conditions of the heat treatment, the decompression treatment, or a combination of both, is determined appropriately in consideration of various factors such as the type of adhesive composition, the specific composition of the infrared absorbent composition, the compatibility of the films obtained from the two compositions, the film thickness, and the desired adhesive strength.
[0142] The heat treatment temperature is determined appropriately from the viewpoint of removing the solvent from the composition, softening the adhesive coating layer to realize suitable bonding with the infrared absorbing layer, etc., usually within the range of 20 to 150° C. In particular, from the viewpoint of suppressing or avoiding excessive curing or unnecessary deterioration of the adhesive component (A), the heat treatment temperature is preferably 130° C. or lower, more preferably 90° C. or lower, and the heating time is determined appropriately depending on the heating temperature and the type of adhesive, but is usually 30 seconds or longer, preferably 1 minute or longer, from the viewpoint of reliably achieving suitable adhesion, and is usually 10 minutes or shorter, preferably 5 minutes or shorter, from the viewpoint of suppressing deterioration of the adhesive layer and other members.
[0143] The reduced pressure treatment can be carried out by exposing the adhesive coating layer and the infrared absorbing layer, which are in contact with each other, to an atmospheric pressure of 10 to 10,000 Pa. The reduced pressure treatment time is usually 1 to 30 minutes.
[0144] From the viewpoint of reproducibly obtaining a laminate from which the substrates can be easily separated, the two layers that contact each other are preferably bonded together by a reduced pressure treatment, more preferably by a combination of a heat treatment and a reduced pressure treatment.
[0145] The load in the thickness direction of the semiconductor substrate and the support substrate is not particularly limited as long as it does not adversely affect the semiconductor substrate, the support substrate, and the two layers therebetween and can firmly adhere them to each other, but is usually within the range of 10 to 1000 N.
[0146] The post-heating temperature is preferably 120°C or higher from the viewpoint of achieving a sufficient curing rate, and preferably 260°C or lower from the viewpoint of preventing deterioration of the substrate and each layer. The post-heating time is usually 1 minute or longer, preferably 5 minutes or longer, from the viewpoint of achieving suitable bonding of the substrate and layers constituting the laminate, and usually 180 minutes or shorter, preferably 120 minutes or shorter, from the viewpoint of suppressing or avoiding adverse effects on each layer due to excessive heating. Heating can be performed using a hot plate, oven, or the like. When post-heating is performed using a hot plate, either the semiconductor substrate or the support substrate of the laminate may be heated facing down, but from the viewpoint of achieving suitable peeling with good reproducibility, post-heating with the semiconductor substrate facing down is preferred. Note that one purpose of the post-heating treatment is to achieve a more suitable self-standing adhesive layer and infrared absorbing layer, particularly to achieve suitable curing by a hydrosilylation reaction.
[0147] An example of a method for producing the laminate of FIG. 1 will be described below with reference to FIGS. 2A to 2C. FIGS. 2A to 2C are diagrams illustrating one embodiment of producing a laminate. First, a laminate is prepared in which an adhesive coating layer 2a is formed on a semiconductor substrate 1 (FIG. 2A). This laminate can be obtained, for example, by applying an adhesive composition to the semiconductor substrate 1 and heating the resulting laminate. Separately, a laminate is prepared in which an infrared absorbing layer 3 is formed on a support substrate 4 (FIG. 2B). This laminate can be obtained, for example, by applying an infrared absorber composition to the support substrate 4 and heating the resulting laminate. Next, the laminate shown in FIG. 2A and the laminate shown in FIG. 2B are bonded together so that the adhesive coating layer 2a and the infrared absorbing layer 3 are in contact with each other. Then, a load is applied to the semiconductor substrate 1 and the support substrate 4 in the thickness direction under reduced pressure. After that, a heating device (not shown; hot plate) is placed on the surface of the semiconductor substrate 1 opposite the surface where the adhesive coating layer 2a is in contact. The adhesive coating layer 2a is heated and cured by the heating device, converting it into the adhesive layer 2 (FIG. 2C). A laminate is obtained by the steps shown in FIGS. 2A to 2C.
[0148] 1 shows the laminate in the order of semiconductor substrate 1, adhesive layer 2, infrared absorbing layer 3, and support substrate 4, and therefore the above-mentioned manufacturing method is given as an example. However, when manufacturing a laminate in the order of semiconductor substrate 1, infrared absorbing layer 3, adhesive layer 2, and support substrate 4, for example, the laminate can be manufactured by a method including: a first step of applying an infrared absorbent composition to the surface of the semiconductor substrate and, if necessary, heating it to form an infrared absorbing layer; a second step of applying an adhesive composition to the surface of the support substrate and, if necessary, heating it to form an adhesive coating layer; and a third step of applying a load in the thickness direction of the semiconductor substrate and the support substrate to bring the infrared absorbing layer of the semiconductor substrate and the adhesive coating layer of the support substrate into close contact while performing at least one of a heat treatment and a decompression treatment, and then performing a post-heat treatment to form a laminate. Note that, as long as the effects of the present invention are not impaired, the application and heating of each composition may be performed sequentially on either one of the substrates.
[0149] <Second embodiment> The laminate having the electronic device layer is used for processing the electronic device layer. While the electronic device layer is being processed, the electronic device layer is adhered to a support substrate. After processing the electronic device layer, the infrared absorbing layer is irradiated with, for example, an infrared laser, and then the electronic device layer is separated from the support substrate.
[0150] <<Electronic Device Layer>> The electronic device layer refers to a layer having an electronic device. In the present invention, it refers to a layer in which multiple semiconductor chip substrates are embedded in a sealing resin, that is, a layer consisting of multiple semiconductor chip substrates and a sealing resin disposed between the semiconductor chip substrates. Here, "electronic device" refers to a member that constitutes at least a part of an electronic component. The electronic device is not particularly limited and can be a semiconductor substrate having various mechanical structures or circuits formed on the surface thereof. The electronic device is preferably a composite of a member made of metal or semiconductor and a resin that seals or insulates the member. The electronic device may have a rewiring layer (described later) and / or a semiconductor element or other element sealed or insulated with a sealing material or insulating material, and may have a single-layer or multi-layer structure.
[0151] <<Support Substrate>> Examples of the support substrate include those similar to those explained in the section <<Support Substrate>> of the <First Embodiment>> above.
[0152] <<Infrared absorbing layer>> The infrared absorbing layer is formed using, for example, an infrared absorbent composition. Detailed description of the infrared absorbing layer is as described above in the section <<Infrared absorbing layer>> of the <First embodiment>>.
[0153] <<Adhesive Layer>> The adhesive layer is formed using the adhesive composition described above. Details of the adhesive layer are as described above in the <<Adhesive Layer>> section of the <First Embodiment>>.
[0154] An example of the configuration of the laminate of the second embodiment will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 3 shows a schematic cross-sectional view of an example of the laminate of the second embodiment. The laminate of FIG. 3 has a support substrate 24, an infrared absorbing layer 23, an adhesive layer 22, and an electronic device layer 26, in this order. The electronic device layer 26 includes a plurality of semiconductor chip substrates 21 and sealing resin 25, which is a sealing material, disposed between the semiconductor chip substrates 21. The adhesive layer 22 and the infrared absorbing layer 23 are provided between the electronic device layer 26 and the support substrate 24. The adhesive layer 22 is in contact with the electronic device layer 26. The infrared absorbing layer 23 is in contact with the adhesive layer 22 and the support substrate 24.
[0155] <<Example of Manufacturing Method of Laminate in Second Embodiment>> A method for manufacturing a laminate will be described below using the laminate shown in Fig. 3 as an example of the laminate in the second embodiment. The laminate of the present invention can be manufactured, for example, by a method including the following first to fifth steps. First step: a step of applying an infrared absorbent composition to the surface of the support substrate to form an infrared absorbent coating layer (and, if necessary, further heating to form an infrared absorbing layer). Second step: a step of applying an adhesive composition to the surface of the infrared absorbent coating layer or the infrared absorbing layer to form an adhesive coating layer (and, if necessary, further heating to form an adhesive layer). Third step: a step of placing a semiconductor chip substrate on the adhesive coating layer or the adhesive layer, and bonding the semiconductor chip substrate to the adhesive coating layer or the adhesive layer while performing at least one of a heat treatment and a decompression treatment. Fourth step: a step of curing the adhesive coating layer by post-heat treatment to form an adhesive layer. Fifth step: a step of encapsulating the semiconductor chip substrate fixed on the adhesive layer with an encapsulating resin. Step three will be described in more detail, for example, by the step of embodiment (i) below. (i) A semiconductor chip substrate is placed on the adhesive coating layer or adhesive layer, and while performing at least one of a heat treatment and a decompression treatment, a load is applied in the thickness direction of the semiconductor chip substrate and the support substrate to bring them into close contact, and the semiconductor chip substrate is bonded to the adhesive coating layer or adhesive layer.
[0156] The fourth step may be performed after bonding the semiconductor chip substrate to the adhesive coating layer in the third step, or may be performed in conjunction with the third step. For example, the semiconductor chip substrate may be placed on the adhesive coating layer, and the adhesive coating layer may be heated and cured while applying a load in the thickness direction of the semiconductor chip substrate and the support substrate, thereby simultaneously achieving close contact between the semiconductor chip substrate and the adhesive coating layer and curing the adhesive coating layer to the adhesive layer, thereby bonding the adhesive layer to the semiconductor chip substrate. The fourth step may also be performed before the third step, in which the semiconductor chip substrate is placed on the adhesive layer, and the adhesive layer may be bonded to the semiconductor chip substrate while applying a load in the thickness direction of the semiconductor chip substrate and the support substrate.
[0157] The application method, the heating temperature of the applied infrared absorbent composition or adhesive composition, the heating means, and the like are as described in the above <<An example of the manufacturing method of the laminate in the first embodiment>> in the above <First embodiment>.
[0158] The procedure for the method for producing a laminate according to the second embodiment will be described in more detail below with reference to the drawings. This method produces the laminate shown in FIG. 3 . As shown in FIG. 4A , an infrared-absorbing agent coating layer 23′ made of an infrared-absorbing agent composition is formed on a support substrate 24. The infrared-absorbing agent coating layer 23′ may be heated to form the infrared-absorbing layer 23. Next, as shown in FIG. 4B , an adhesive coating layer 22′ made of an adhesive composition is formed on the infrared-absorbing agent coating layer 23′ or the infrared-absorbing layer 23. The adhesive coating layer 22′ may be heated to form the adhesive layer 22. Next, as shown in FIG. 4C , a semiconductor chip substrate 21 is placed on the adhesive layer 22 or the adhesive coating layer 22′. While performing at least one of a heat treatment and a decompression treatment, a load is applied in the thickness direction of the semiconductor chip substrate 21 and the support substrate 24 to bring them into close contact, and the semiconductor chip substrate 21 is bonded to the adhesive layer 22 or the adhesive coating layer 22′. When the semiconductor chip substrate 21 is bonded to the adhesive coating layer 22', the adhesive coating layer 22' is post-heat-treated to harden it into the adhesive layer 22, and the semiconductor chip substrate 21 is fixed to the adhesive layer 22. When the adhesive coating layer 22' is post-heat-treated, the infrared absorbing agent coating layer 23' may also be post-heat-treated to form the infrared absorbing layer 23. Next, as shown in FIG. 4D , the semiconductor chip substrate 21 fixed on the adhesive layer 22 is sealed with a sealing resin 25. In FIG. 4D , multiple semiconductor chip substrates 21 temporarily bonded to a support substrate 24 via the adhesive layer 22 are sealed with the sealing resin 25. An electronic device layer 26 having the semiconductor chip substrates 21 and the sealing resin 25 disposed between the semiconductor chip substrates 21 is formed on the adhesive layer 22. Thus, the electronic device layer 26 is a base layer in which multiple semiconductor chip substrates are embedded in the sealing resin.
[0159] <<<Encapsulating Step>>> The semiconductor chip substrate 21 is encapsulated using an encapsulant. The encapsulant used for encapsulating the semiconductor chip substrate 21 is a material capable of insulating or encapsulating metal or semiconductor components. In the present invention, for example, a resin composition (encapsulating resin) is used as the encapsulant. The type of encapsulating resin is not particularly limited as long as it is capable of encapsulating and / or insulating metal or semiconductor components. For example, epoxy-based resins or silicone-based resins are preferably used. The encapsulating material may contain other components, such as fillers, in addition to the resin component. Examples of fillers include spherical silica particles. In the encapsulating step, the encapsulating resin, heated to, for example, 130 to 170°C, is supplied onto the adhesive layer 22 while maintaining a high viscosity, covering the semiconductor chip substrate 21. The encapsulating resin is then compression-molded to form a layer of encapsulating resin 25 on the adhesive layer 22. The temperature conditions are, for example, 130 to 170°C. The pressure applied to the semiconductor chip substrate 21 is, for example, 50 to 500 N / cm. 2 is.
[0160] (Method for manufacturing a processed semiconductor substrate or an electronic device layer) Using the laminate of the present invention, a method for manufacturing a processed semiconductor substrate or a method for manufacturing a processed electronic device layer can be provided. The "method for manufacturing a processed semiconductor substrate" uses the laminate described in the <First embodiment> section of the above (Laminate). The "method for manufacturing a processed electronic device layer" uses the laminate described in the <Second embodiment> section of the above (Laminate). The "method for manufacturing a processed semiconductor substrate" will be explained in the <Third embodiment> below, and the "method for manufacturing a processed electronic device layer" will be explained in the <Fourth embodiment> below.
[0161] The method for producing a processed semiconductor substrate or electronic device layer includes the following steps: a processing step in which the first substrate of the laminate of the present invention is processed; and a separation step in which an infrared laser is irradiated onto the infrared absorbing layer from the second substrate side, and then the processed first substrate and the second substrate are separated.
[0162] Examples of infrared lasers include lasers with wavelengths of 1 μm to 20 μm. The wavelength of the infrared laser is preferably 9.2 to 10.8 μm. Examples of light sources for infrared lasers include semiconductor lasers, He—Ne lasers, Ar lasers, carbon dioxide lasers, YAG lasers, and fiber lasers. The output of infrared light from the infrared laser is preferably 10 W to 100 W, and more preferably 30 W to 90 W.
[0163] The infrared laser irradiation of the infrared absorbing layer does not necessarily have to be performed on the entire area of the infrared absorbing layer. Even if there are areas irradiated with the infrared laser and areas not irradiated with the infrared laser, as long as the adhesive strength of a portion of the infrared absorbing layer is sufficiently reduced, the second substrate can be peeled off from the laminate by applying a slight external force and lifting the second substrate. The ratio and positional relationship of the areas irradiated with the infrared laser and the areas not irradiated with the infrared laser vary depending on the infrared absorbent composition forming the infrared absorbing layer, the thickness of the infrared absorbing layer, the intensity of the irradiated infrared laser, etc., but those skilled in the art can set appropriate conditions without requiring excessive testing. For example, a region not irradiated with the infrared laser, having the same width as the infrared drawing line width, may be provided adjacent to the area irradiated with the infrared laser. Furthermore, the infrared laser irradiation of the infrared absorbing layer may be limited to the end of the infrared absorbing layer sandwiched between the first substrate and the second substrate.
[0164] After the infrared absorbing layer is irradiated with an infrared laser, a material having a sharp portion may be inserted between the first substrate and the second substrate to make it easier to separate the first substrate and the second substrate.
[0165] The first and second substrates can be separated by, for example, holding the first and second substrates with holders and moving one or both of the holders in a direction separating the first and second substrates after the adhesive strength of the infrared absorbing layer is reduced by irradiating the infrared absorbing layer with an infrared laser. Examples of the holder include an adsorption plate.
[0166] In the separation step, irradiating the infrared absorbing layer with an infrared laser preferably reduces the penetration force required to insert the sharp portion of a substrate having a sharp portion between the first and second substrates to separate the first and second substrates, compared to when the infrared absorbing layer is not irradiated with an infrared laser. In other words, the penetration force (Fb) required to insert the sharp portion of a substrate having a sharp portion between the first and second substrates after irradiating the infrared absorbing layer with an infrared laser to separate the first and second substrates is preferably smaller than the penetration force (Fa) required to insert the sharp portion of a substrate having a sharp portion between the first and second substrates without irradiating the infrared absorbing layer with an infrared laser. The penetration force is expressed as an absolute value. Examples of the penetration force (Fa) include 0.1 N to 100 N.
[0167] The ratio (Fb / Fa) of the insertion force (Fa) to the insertion force (Fb) is not particularly limited, but is preferably less than 1.0, more preferably 0.9 or less, and even more preferably 0.6 or less. The lower limit of the ratio (Fb / Fa) is not particularly limited, but the ratio (Fb / Fa) may be 0.01 or more, 0.05 or more, or 0.1 or more. The insertion force is measured, for example, as described above.
[0168] <Third embodiment> The method for producing a processed semiconductor substrate of the present invention includes the following step 5A and step 6A. The method for producing a processed semiconductor substrate may further include the following step 7A. Here, step 5A is a step of processing the semiconductor substrate in the stack described in the above <First embodiment> section. Furthermore, step 6A is a step of separating the semiconductor substrate processed in step 5A from the support substrate. Furthermore, step 7A is a step of cleaning the processed semiconductor substrate after step 6A.
[0169] The processing performed on the semiconductor substrate in step 5A is, for example, processing of the side opposite the circuit surface of the wafer, such as thinning the wafer by polishing the back surface of the wafer. Thereafter, for example, through-silicon vias (TSVs) are formed, and then the thinned wafer is peeled off from the support substrate to form a wafer stack, which is then three-dimensionally mounted. Also, for example, before or after this, formation of wafer backside electrodes is also performed. During the wafer thinning and TSV process, heat loads of approximately 250 to 350°C are applied while the wafer is adhered to the support substrate. The laminate of the present invention, including the adhesive layer and infrared absorption layer, typically possesses heat resistance to such loads. The processing performed on the semiconductor substrate in step 5A may be a process of dicing (dividing) the semiconductor substrate. Note that the processing is not limited to the above-described process, and includes, for example, the implementation of a semiconductor component mounting process when the substrate is temporarily adhered to a support substrate to support the substrate for mounting the semiconductor components.
[0170] In the step 6A, the method for separating (peeling) the semiconductor substrate and the support substrate is the above-mentioned separation step.
[0171] The substrate can be cleaned by spraying the cleaning composition onto the surface of at least one of the separated semiconductor substrate and the support substrate, or by immersing the separated semiconductor substrate or the support substrate in the cleaning composition. The surface of the processed semiconductor substrate or the like may also be cleaned using a removal tape or the like. As an example of cleaning the substrate, after the step 6A, a step 7A of cleaning the processed semiconductor substrate may be performed. Examples of cleaning compositions used for cleaning include the following.
[0172] The cleaning agent composition usually contains a solvent. Examples of the solvent include lactones, ketones, polyhydric alcohols, compounds having an ester bond, derivatives of polyhydric alcohols, cyclic ethers, esters, and aromatic organic solvents. Examples of the lactones include γ-butyrolactone. Examples of the ketones include acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, cyclohexanone, methyl-n-pentyl ketone, methyl isopentyl ketone, and 2-heptanone. Examples of the polyhydric alcohols include ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol, propylene glycol, and dipropylene glycol. Examples of compounds having an ester bond include ethylene glycol monoacetate, diethylene glycol monoacetate, propylene glycol monoacetate, and dipropylene glycol monoacetate. Examples of derivatives of polyhydric alcohols include compounds having an ether bond, such as monoalkyl ethers or monophenyl ethers of the above polyhydric alcohols or compounds having an ester bond, such as monomethyl ether, monoethyl ether, monopropyl ether, and monobutyl ether. Among these, propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate (PGMEA) and propylene glycol monomethyl ether (PGME) are preferred. Examples of cyclic ethers include dioxane. Examples of esters include methyl lactate, ethyl lactate (EL), methyl acetate, ethyl acetate, butyl acetate, methyl pyruvate, ethyl pyruvate, methyl methoxypropionate, and ethyl ethoxypropionate. Examples of aromatic organic solvents include anisole, ethyl benzyl ether, cresyl methyl ether, diphenyl ether, dibenzyl ether, phenetole, butylphenyl ether, ethylbenzene, diethylbenzene, pentylbenzene, isopropylbenzene, toluene, xylene, cymene, mesitylene, etc. These can be used alone or in combination of two or more.Among these, propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate (PGMEA), propylene glycol monomethyl ether (PGME), cyclohexanone, and ethyl lactate (EL) are preferred.
[0173] Also preferred are mixed solvents containing PGMEA and a polar solvent. The blending ratio (mass ratio) can be determined appropriately taking into account the compatibility of the PGMEA and the polar solvent, but is preferably within the range of 1:9 to 9:1, and more preferably 2:8 to 8:2. For example, when EL is blended as the polar solvent, the mass ratio of PGMEA:EL is preferably 1:9 to 9:1, and more preferably 2:8 to 8:2. When PGME is blended as the polar solvent, the mass ratio of PGMEA:PGME is preferably 1:9 to 9:1, more preferably 2:8 to 8:2, and even more preferably 3:7 to 7:3. When PGME and cyclohexanone are blended as the polar solvents, the mass ratio of PGMEA:(PGME + cyclohexanone) is preferably 1:9 to 9:1, more preferably 2:8 to 8:2, and even more preferably 3:7 to 7:3.
[0174] The cleaning composition may or may not contain a salt; however, the absence of a salt is preferred in terms of increasing versatility in processing semiconductor substrates using the laminate and reducing costs.
[0175] An example of a detergent composition containing a salt is a detergent composition containing a quaternary ammonium salt and a solvent. The quaternary ammonium salt is composed of a quaternary ammonium cation and an anion, and is not particularly limited as long as it is used for this type of application. A typical example of such a quaternary ammonium cation is a tetra(hydrocarbon)ammonium cation. On the other hand, the anion paired with the quaternary ammonium cation is a hydroxide ion (OH - ) ; fluorine ion (F - ), chloride ions (Cl - ), bromine ion (Br - ), iodine ion (I - ) and other halogen ions; tetrafluoroborate ion (BF4 - ) ; hexafluorophosphate ion (PF 6 - ) and the like, but are not limited to these.
[0176] The quaternary ammonium salt is preferably a halogen-containing quaternary ammonium salt, more preferably a fluorine-containing quaternary ammonium salt. In the quaternary ammonium salt, the halogen atom may be contained in either the cation or the anion, but is preferably contained in the anion.
[0177] In a preferred embodiment, the fluorine-containing quaternary ammonium salt is tetra(hydrocarbon)ammonium fluoride. Specific examples of the hydrocarbon group in tetra(hydrocarbon)ammonium fluoride include alkyl groups having 1 to 20 carbon atoms, alkenyl groups having 2 to 20 carbon atoms, alkynyl groups having 2 to 20 carbon atoms, and aryl groups having 6 to 20 carbon atoms. In a more preferred embodiment, the tetra(hydrocarbon)ammonium fluoride includes tetraalkylammonium fluoride. Specific examples of tetraalkylammonium fluorides include, but are not limited to, tetramethylammonium fluoride, tetraethylammonium fluoride, tetrapropylammonium fluoride, and tetrabutylammonium fluoride (also known as tetrabutylammonium fluoride). Of these, tetrabutylammonium fluoride is preferred.
[0178] The quaternary ammonium salts such as tetra(hydrocarbon)ammonium fluoride may be used in the form of a hydrate. The quaternary ammonium salts such as tetra(hydrocarbon)ammonium fluoride may be used singly or in combination of two or more. The amount of the quaternary ammonium salt is not particularly limited as long as it dissolves in the solvent contained in the cleaning composition, but is usually 0.1 to 30 mass% based on the cleaning composition.
[0179] When the cleaning composition contains a salt, the solvent to be used in combination with the salt is not particularly limited as long as it is used for this type of application and dissolves the salt such as a quaternary ammonium salt. However, from the viewpoint of reproducibly obtaining a cleaning composition having excellent cleaning properties and from the viewpoint of satisfactorily dissolving the salt such as a quaternary ammonium salt to obtain a cleaning composition having excellent uniformity, the cleaning composition preferably contains one or two or more amide solvents.
[0180] A suitable example of the amide solvent is an acid amide derivative represented by formula (Z).
[0181] In the formula, R 0 represents an ethyl group, a propyl group, or an isopropyl group, preferably an ethyl group or an isopropyl group, and more preferably an ethyl group. A and R B each independently represents an alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms. The alkyl group having 1 to 4 carbon atoms may be linear, branched, or cyclic, and specific examples include a methyl group, an ethyl group, a propyl group, an isopropyl group, a cyclopropyl group, an n-butyl group, an isobutyl group, an s-butyl group, a t-butyl group, and a cyclobutyl group. Of these, R A and R B As the alkyl group, a methyl group or an ethyl group is preferred, and both of them are more preferably methyl groups or ethyl groups, and both of them are even more preferably methyl groups.
[0182] Examples of the acid amide derivative represented by formula (Z) include N,N-dimethylpropionamide, N,N-diethylpropionamide, N-ethyl-N-methylpropionamide, N,N-dimethylbutyric acid amide, N,N-diethylbutyric acid amide, N-ethyl-N-methylbutyric acid amide, N,N-dimethylisobutyric acid amide, N,N-diethylisobutyric acid amide, N-ethyl-N-methylisobutyric acid amide, etc. Among these, N,N-dimethylpropionamide and N,N-dimethylisobutyric acid amide are particularly preferred, and N,N-dimethylpropionamide is more preferred.
[0183] The acid amide derivative represented by formula (Z) may be synthesized by a substitution reaction between a corresponding carboxylic acid ester and an amine, or a commercially available product may be used.
[0184] Another example of a preferred amide solvent is a lactam compound represented by formula (Y).
[0185] In formula (Y), R 101 represents a hydrogen atom or an alkyl group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, R 102 represents an alkylene group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms. Specific examples of the alkyl group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms include a methyl group, an ethyl group, an n-propyl group, and an n-butyl group, and specific examples of the alkylene group having 1 to 6 carbon atoms include a methylene group, an ethylene group, a trimethylene group, a tetramethylene group, a pentamethylene group, and a hexamethylene group, but are not limited to these.
[0186] Specific examples of the lactam compound represented by formula (Y) include α-lactam compounds, β-lactam compounds, γ-lactam compounds, and δ-lactam compounds, and these can be used alone or in combination of two or more.
[0187] In a preferred embodiment, the lactam compound represented by formula (Y) includes 1-alkyl-2-pyrrolidone (N-alkyl-γ-butyrolactam), in a more preferred embodiment, it includes N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP) or N-ethylpyrrolidone (NEP), and in an even more preferred embodiment, it includes N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP).
[0188] The cleaning composition used in the present invention may contain water as a solvent, but usually only an organic solvent is used as the solvent from the viewpoint of avoiding corrosion of the substrate, etc. In this case, it is not excluded that the cleaning composition may contain water of hydration of salts or trace amounts of water contained in the organic solvent. The water content of the cleaning composition used in the present invention is usually 5 mass% or less.
[0189] The constituent elements and methodological elements of the above-described steps of the method for manufacturing a processed semiconductor substrate of the present invention may be modified in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. The method for manufacturing a processed semiconductor substrate of the present invention may include steps other than those described above.
[0190] The peeling method of the present invention is a method for separating the semiconductor substrate and support substrate of a laminate of the present invention by irradiating an infrared laser onto the infrared absorbing layer from the semiconductor substrate side or the support substrate side when the semiconductor substrate or support substrate of the laminate is optically transparent. In one example of the laminate of the present invention, the semiconductor substrate and support substrate are temporarily bonded in a suitably peelable manner by the adhesive layer and the infrared absorbing layer. Therefore, for example, when the support substrate is optically transparent, the semiconductor substrate and support substrate can be easily separated by irradiating an infrared laser onto the infrared absorbing layer from the support substrate side of the laminate. Typically, peeling is performed after processing the semiconductor substrate of the laminate.
[0191] An example of the third embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 5A to 5E. This example is an example of manufacturing a thinned semiconductor substrate. First, a laminate is prepared (FIG. 5A). This laminate is the same as the laminate shown in FIGS. 1 and 2C. Next, a polishing device (not shown) is used to polish the surface of the semiconductor substrate 1 opposite the surface in contact with the adhesive layer 2, thereby thinning the semiconductor substrate 1 (FIG. 5B). The thinned semiconductor substrate 1 may also be subjected to the formation of through-hole electrodes. Next, an infrared laser L is irradiated onto the infrared absorption layer 3 from the support substrate 4 side (FIG. 5C). The infrared laser irradiation may be performed on the entire surface of the infrared absorption layer 3, or on a portion of it. Next, a peeling device (not shown) is used to separate the thinned semiconductor substrate 1 from the support substrate 4 (FIG. 5D). This results in a thinned semiconductor substrate 1 (FIG. 5E). Residues of the adhesive layer 2 and the infrared absorption layer 3 may remain on the thinned semiconductor substrate 1. Therefore, it is preferable to clean the thinned semiconductor substrate 1 with a cleaning composition to remove residues of the adhesive layer 2 and the infrared absorbing layer 3 from the semiconductor substrate 1 .
[0192] <Fourth Embodiment> The method for producing a processed electronic device layer of the present invention includes the following Step 5B and Step 6B. The method for producing a processed electronic device layer may further include the following Step 7B. Here, Step 5B is a step of processing the electronic device layer in the laminate described in the above <Second Embodiment> section. Furthermore, Step 6B is a step of separating the electronic device layer processed in Step 5B from the support substrate. Furthermore, Step 7B is a step of cleaning the processed electronic device layer after Step 6B. Specific examples of the fourth embodiment will be described below with reference to FIGS. 6A to 6G.
[0193] Examples of the processing performed on the electronic device layer in the step 5B include a grinding step and a wiring layer forming step.
[0194] <<Grinding Process>> The grinding process is a process of grinding away the resin portion of the layer of sealing resin 25 in the electronic device layer 26 so as to expose a portion of the semiconductor chip substrate 21. Grinding of the sealing resin portion is performed by grinding away the layer of sealing resin 25 of the stack shown in Fig. 6A until it has a thickness substantially equal to that of the semiconductor chip substrate 21, as shown in Fig. 6B, for example. The stack shown in Fig. 6A is the same stack as the stacks shown in Figs. 3 and 4D.
[0195] <<Wiring Layer Forming Process>> The wiring layer forming process is a process of forming a wiring layer on the exposed semiconductor chip substrate 21 after the grinding process. In FIG. 6C , a wiring layer 28 is formed on an electronic device layer 26 consisting of the semiconductor chip substrate 21 and a layer of sealing resin 25. The wiring layer 28 is also called an RDL (Redistribution Layer), and is a thin-film wiring body that constitutes wiring connected to the substrate, and can have a single-layer or multi-layer structure. The wiring layer is made of a dielectric (silicon oxide (SiO xThe wiring layer 28 may be formed by forming wiring between a conductive material (for example, a metal such as aluminum, copper, titanium, nickel, gold, or silver, or an alloy such as a silver-tin alloy) and a layer of a sealing resin 25 (for example, a photosensitive resin such as a photosensitive epoxy, photosensitive epoxy, etc.), but is not limited to this. The wiring layer 28 can be formed by, for example, the following method. First, silicon oxide (SiO x ), a dielectric layer made of a photosensitive resin or the like is formed. The dielectric layer made of silicon oxide can be formed by, for example, sputtering, vacuum deposition, or the like. The dielectric layer made of a photosensitive resin can be formed by applying the photosensitive resin onto the layer of sealing resin 25 by, for example, spin coating, dipping, roller blade, spray coating, slit coating, or the like. Next, wiring is formed on the dielectric layer using a conductor such as metal. Methods for forming wiring can include, for example, known semiconductor process techniques such as lithography processes such as photolithography (resist lithography) and etching processes. Examples of such lithography processes include lithography processes using a positive resist material and lithography processes using a negative resist material. In the manufacturing method of the laminate according to the fourth embodiment, bumps can be formed on the wiring layer 28, or elements can be mounted on the wiring layer 28. Elements can be mounted on the wiring layer 28 using, for example, a chip mounter. The stack according to the fourth embodiment may be a stack produced in a process based on fan-out technology, in which terminals provided on a semiconductor chip substrate are mounted on a wiring layer extending outside the chip area.
[0196] In Step 6B, the method for separating (peeling) the electronic device layer from the support substrate is the separation step described above.
[0197] 6D to 6F are schematic cross-sectional views illustrating a method for separating the laminate, and FIG. 6G is a schematic cross-sectional view illustrating a cleaning method after separation of the laminate. FIGS. 6D to 6G illustrate one embodiment of a method for manufacturing a semiconductor package (electronic component). The step of separating the laminate is a step of irradiating the infrared absorbing layer 23 with an infrared laser L through the support substrate 24 to alter the infrared absorbing layer 23, thereby separating the electronic device layer 26 from the support substrate 24, as shown in FIG. 6D . After irradiating the infrared absorbing layer 23 with the infrared laser L to alter the infrared absorbing layer 23, the support substrate 24 is separated from the electronic device layer 26, as shown in FIGS. 6E and 6F . The conditions and method for irradiating the infrared absorbing layer with the infrared laser are as described above in the section entitled "Third Embodiment."
[0198] The substrate can be cleaned by spraying a cleaning composition onto at least one surface of the separated electronic device layer and / or the supporting substrate, or by immersing the separated electronic device layer or the supporting substrate in the cleaning composition. Alternatively, the surface of the processed electronic device layer, etc., may be cleaned using a removal tape or the like. For example, in FIG. 6F , after the separation step, the adhesive layer 22 and the infrared absorbing layer 23 are attached to the electronic device layer 26. The adhesive layer 22 and the infrared absorbing layer 23 can be removed by decomposing them using a cleaning composition such as an acid or alkali. By removing the infrared absorbing layer and the adhesive layer, a processed electronic device layer (electronic component) such as that shown in FIG. 6G can be suitably obtained.
[0199] The constituent elements and methodological elements of the above-described steps of the method for producing a processed electronic device layer of the present invention may be modified in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. The method for producing a processed electronic device layer of the present invention may include steps other than those described above.

Then, in a vacuum heating lamination apparatus, the silicon substrate having this adhesive coating layer and the silicon substrate having the infrared absorbing layer formed thereon produced in Preparation Example 1 were bonded together so that the adhesive coating layer and the infrared absorbing layer were in contact with each other, and the substrate having the adhesive coating layer formed thereon was placed face down on a hot plate and heated at 130 ° C for 5 minutes and then at 200 ° C for 5 minutes (post-heat treatment) to produce a laminate. The lamination was performed using a vacuum heating lamination apparatus at a temperature of 70 ° C, a vacuum of 1000 Pa, and a load of 150 kg for 3 minutes.
[0209] [Comparative Example 1] The adhesive composition obtained in Preparation Example 1 was spin-coated onto a 4 cm square silicon substrate at 950 rpm for 30 seconds, and then heated at 90 ° C for 1.5 minutes (pre-heat treatment) to form an adhesive coating layer. Then, in a vacuum heating lamination apparatus, the silicon substrate having this adhesive coating layer and another 4 cm square silicon substrate were bonded together with the adhesive coating layer sandwiched between them, and heated on a hot plate with the substrate having the adhesive coating layer facing down at 130 ° C for 5 minutes and then at 200 ° C for 5 minutes (post-heat treatment) to produce a laminate. The lamination was performed using a vacuum heating lamination apparatus at a temperature of 70 ° C, a vacuum of 1000 Pa, and a load of 150 kg for 3 minutes.
[0210] [4] Laser irradiation [Example 2] The substrate on which the adhesive layer was formed was placed on the device (bottom) side of the laminate produced in Example 1, and a laser with a wavelength of 9.3 μm was irradiated onto the entire surface of the 4 cm square substrate from a direction perpendicular to the silicon wafer on the carrier side using an infrared laser peeling device. The laser irradiation conditions were as follows: Scan speed: 1000 nm / sec, Laser power: 60 W, Frequency: 20 Hz
[0211] Comparative Example 2 Laser irradiation was carried out in the same manner as in Example 2, except that the laminate produced in Comparative Example 1 was used.
[0212] [5] Evaluation of Insertion Force [Example 3] The device side of the laminate irradiated with laser in Example 2 was fixed on a workbench with double-sided tape. Next, the blade of a force gauge with a razor blade attached to the tip was inserted into the adhesive layer of the fixed laminate, and the maximum absolute value of the force gauge at this time was taken as the insertion force.
[0213] Comparative Example 3 The insertion force was evaluated in the same manner as in Example 3, except that the laminate irradiated with laser in Comparative Example 2 was used.
[0214] The evaluation results of Example 3 and Comparative Example 3 are shown in Table 2.
[0215]
[0216] The results of Example 3 and Comparative Example 3 revealed that when a laminate having an infrared absorbing layer formed thereon was irradiated with an infrared laser, a substrate having a sharp portion could be inserted between the substrates with a low insertion force in the laminate having an infrared absorbing layer formed thereon. This confirmed that when the composition and process according to the present invention were used, the substrates were less damaged when the laminate was separated and peeled off was possible.
