Embodiment
The cutting problem that present embodiment has comprised a covering device and solved above-mentioned rough wafer based on the methodology of this device.
This device comprises sucker and 15 4 parts of operating platform of probe 11, following probe 12, arrangement wafer, sees Fig. 1.
One rectangular guideway is arranged on the operating platform, and can supplying down, sucker slides along this guide rail.
Settle the sucker of wafer to be made of last sucker 13 and 14, two suckers of following sucker, last sucker 13 is to be the rectangle frame of hollow, the downward extension in the centre position of a horizontal opposite side one rectangular shaped slider 21 in the middle of one.Be distributed with vacuum on the last sucker and inhale hole 22 in order to hold the wafer that is placed on it.Following sucker 14 also is the rectangle frame of a middle hollow, and the size of this frame is identical with last sucker, and the correspondence position of the rectangular shaped slider of following sucker on last sucker is a rectangle chute 42 that cooperates with this slide block.Like this, sucker can laterally be slided along the rectangle chute of following sucker.The middle position of vertical opposite side of following sucker also extends the slide block 41 of a rectangular preiection downwards.Make that sucker can slide along the guide rail on this operating platform down.
Last probe is placed in the top of sucker, is the row of falling U, sees Fig. 6.The bottom that should go up probe is the pin of a stainless steel material, because stainless pin can arbitrarily change shape, finger applies the profile that external force can change stainless pin, by finely tuning the horizontal level of probe tip, the needle point of the probe following probe tip can be with lifting the time is overlapped.
Because the pin material of last probe adopts stainless steel material, its quality is softer, can avoid scratching the figure of crystal column surface.Its needle point size can be selected suitable dimensions according to requirement of client.
Following probe is formed by fixedly connecting by knob and shank two parts.And down the shank of probe passes operating platform and stretches in the sucker, is with screw thread outside the bottom of following probe shank, and the inwall of the through hole on the operating platform that this shank passed has the screw thread that cooperates with it.Can pass through adjusting knob 71 like this, the shank 72 that just can drive down probe vertically rises or descends, and the needle point of probe can be overlapped with the needle point of last probe.The needle point size of following probe can be selected suitable dimensions according to requirement of client equally.
Use this device as follows to the method that the rough wafer in surface cuts.
Earlier according to following steps to cut point on the rear indicia of wafer:
1, whole device is positioned on the objective table of light microscope (OM) of long reach;
2, regulate the following probe adjusting knob be positioned at below the operating platform, probe is risen,, make down the needle point coincidence of probe and last probe by probe in the OM adjusting;
3, regulate probe adjusting knob down, make down the about 2mm of probe decline;
4, dipping in black ink is coated on the probe tip;
5, put into wafer, and regulate sucker, drive wafer and move,, make probe and following probe, the cut point on the wafer is moved under the needle point of probe with respect to the motion of wafer on x (laterally) and y (vertically) direction by means of the observation of OM;
6, regulate the adjusting knob of probe down, probe is risen, until the back side of touching sample;
7, reduce probe down, take out sample.
Like this, sample wafer has just had a cut mark at the back side of cut point.
Wherein, the size of the precision of back side cut point mark and needle point has substantial connection.
By selecting different needle point sizes, can control suitable precision.
For example, the error information tabular has gone out the error amount of each mark position of probe of the needle point size of above-mentioned 3 sizes that measure in the mark test of the 7um among Fig. 8,2um and three kinds of needle point sizes of 1um.Wherein, mean value is reference data, is apart from the distance of impact point in the experimentation.Deviation is the deviate of each time acupuncture treatment position.
Shown in data in Fig. 8 form, select the pin of 7um for use, precision is low relatively, and pricking inclined to one side error can be big relatively, and the impact point area of fixed point is bigger, selects the pin of 1um for use, and because needle point is thin more, the precision of target is high more in the bundle.
Like this,, determine needed precision, and then determine suitable pin type, come wafer is positioned mark according to the kind of the needs and the product of front and back technology.
After wafer carried out mark,, be the cut point of reality, put into cutting machine cutting by existing mode with above-mentioned cut point at wafer back part institute mark with the wafer upset.
Because the back side of wafer is smooth, thus can be transmitted by vacuum suction system, and cut by existing mode, and do not need cutting machine is done any improvement.
Utilize the purpose of existing board thereby finish to the cutting of the rough wafer in surface.
