Specific embodiment
Below by specific embodiment and combine accompanying drawing the present invention is described in further detail.Shown in Fig. 1, this Invention provides deep silicon etching method, including following basic step:
S101, etchant solution is placed in water-bath and is heated to predetermined temperature, and etchant solution is entered by magnetic stirring apparatuss Row stirring, makes etchant solution internal temperature uniform;
S102, the silicon chip with mask is vertically placed to corrode in etchant solution;
S103, the silicon chip deionized water corroded is cleaned and Jing nitrogen is dried up, obtain finished product silicon chip.
The effect of step S101 is that etchant solution is heated to the predetermined reaction temperature that can be performed etching, it is to avoid straight The uneven and temperature uncontrollability of being heated that heating is caused is connect, etchant solution can be allow smoothly using immersion method heating It is heated to predetermined reaction temperature.During heating in water bath, heat is the four circumferential middle part conduction from etchant solution, is still probably temperature Degree is not uniform enough, and it is well known that reaction temperature determines the speed of reaction, by using magnetic stirring apparatuss to etchant solution It is stirred so as to which internal temperature becomes more uniform, it is ensured that etching reaction is that the temperature inside etchant solution is equal Under conditions of start, make the corrosion rate on corrosion of silicon surface equal everywhere.
The effect of step S102 is that, after predetermined temperature is heated to, silicon chip to be corroded is put in etchant solution to be carried out Corrosion, while magnetic stirring apparatuss are still in operating, magnetic stirring apparatuss are to be constantly in working condition in the overall process of etching reaction , always etchant solution is being stirred, is making temperature and concentration inside etchant solution equal everywhere.As etching reaction is Heat release, and the concentration and reaction temperature of etchant solution determine corrosion efficiency, by the rotation of magnetic stirring apparatuss, make corrosion molten Temperature and solution concentration inside liquid keeps stable, it is ensured that the concordance of silicon chip different piece corrosion rate.
The effect of step S103 is after corrosion has carried out a period of time, by the silicon chip extracting for having corroded, and using going Ionized water is cleaned to the silicon chip for having corroded, then which is dried up with nitrogen, and the corrosion for eliminating silicon chip surface residual is molten Liquid so as to can be preserved for a long time.
Wherein step S102 can also be refined, as shown in Fig. 2 being specially
Silicon chip with mask is vertically placed to corrode in etchant solution, following steps are specifically included:
S201, side is vertically placed in etchant solution with the first mask, silicon chip of the opposite side with the second mask rotten Erosion, makes silicon slice corrosion predetermined thickness, and the aperture position of the first mask is different from the aperture position of the second mask;
S202, taking-up are vertically placed to the silicon chip in etchant solution, and remember that predetermined thickness is H1, remember that silicon chip is placed in etchant solution In time be T;
S203, is placed in silicon chip inside etchant solution again, and timing;
S204, when again being reached the anticaustic time time that silicon chip is placed in inside etchant solution, takes out silicon again Piece, removes the mask with the second mask open opposite position on the first mask, remove on the second mask with the first mask open The mask of opposite position, and the corrosion depth of silicon chip that note is taken out again is H2;Wherein anticaustic time=(silicon chip total thickness Degree-H1-H3) * T/H1,15%-20%s of the H3 for silicon chip gross thickness;
S205, silicon chip of the corrosion depth for H2 is placed in etchant solution, and timing;
S206, takes out the silicon chip in etchant solution, obtains the silicon chip for having corroded when the time of timing remaining time is reached, The calculation of remaining time is, remaining time=(silicon chip gross thickness-H2) * T/H1.
During performing etching to silicon chip, it is important that a link be determine etching the time point for completing, such as The time of fruit etching is too short, then silicon chip can be caused directly cannot to use, also in need on silicon chip to carve disconnected, but and not carved off connection Place, may now need to perform etching again, or directly discard silicon chip, cause the waste of resource;If etching when Between it is long, then the phenomenon carved can occur, crossed the silicon chip carved as its structure there occurs change, be to realize which is due Effect, cannot also use, can only discard, this equally causes the waste of resource.
For the problem for overcoming etch period determine, solved in the application as follows.By side It is vertically placed to corrode in etchant solution with the first mask, silicon chip of the opposite side with the second mask, makes the predetermined thickness of silicon slice corrosion Degree, the aperture position of the first mask are different from the aperture position of the second mask.Wherein, the first mask, silicon chip, the second masking sequence Connection.The silicon chip surface covered by the first mask will not be reacted with etchant solution, and opposite side is covered with second The silicon chip surface covered by film also will not be reacted with etchant solution.Due to the aperture position and the second mask of the first mask Aperture position it is different so that although the surface not covered by mask by both sides silicon chip there occurs reaction with etchant solution, With by the first mask open position another side surface of the corresponding silicon chip of exposed silicon chip surface covered by the second mask, It is same be by the first mask institute by another side surface of the corresponding silicon chip of the exposed silicon chip surface of the second mask open position institute Cover, that is, one side etching is being carried out equivalent to the both sides of silicon chip.
Taking-up is vertically placed to the silicon chip in etchant solution, and remembers that predetermined thickness is H1, remembers that silicon chip is placed in etchant solution Time is T.Take out after the corrosion regular hour, it is clear that when defining that in subsequent step next time takes out, silicon chip is etched Depth in 80%-85% or so, so, this time taking out silicon chip needs to carry out before 80% in the depth being etched, specifically The time of taking-up can be voluntarily held by staff.Certainly, can not further take out after silicon chip is etched and breaks, otherwise cannot Carry out follow-up etching work.The purpose this time taken out is the corrosion rate for calculating silicon chip surface, is continued after concrete calculating process It is bright.The silicon chip deionized water of taking-up is cleaned up, then the liquid for remaining in the surface of silicon chip is blown with high pure nitrogen again Totally, then with step instrument the thickness that silicon chip is corroded is measured, and the corrosion thickness is recorded for H1.Record the silicon chip and be placed in and corrode molten Time in liquid is T.Wherein, the thickness being corroded refers to, the silicon chip being corroded apart from most portionafrom theasurface a little and its original table Vertical dimension between face, as the two sides of silicon chip is corroded simultaneously, and due to the concentration of the material and etchant solution of silicon chip it is equal It is identical everywhere, it is possible to be interpreted as, in the equal time, the thickness that silicon chip surface is corroded is identical, that is, H1, corrosion rate i.e. in the unit interval, erodes the depth of silicon chip, i.e. H1/T.
After reordering the silicon chip of taking-up is again placed in etchant solution, when again silicon chip is placed in inside etchant solution When time reaches the anticaustic time, take out silicon chip again, remove on the first mask with the second mask open opposite position Mask, removes the mask with the first mask open opposite position on the second mask, and remembers the corrosion depth of the silicon chip for taking out again Spend for H2, wherein anticaustic time=(silicon chip gross thickness-H1-H3) * T/H1,15%-20%s of the H3 for silicon chip gross thickness.The It is secondary that silicon chip is placed in etchant solution, and according to corrosion rate V for having calculated, it is precisely calculated silicon slice corrosion depth Reach the time required for 80%-85%, its calculation is, the anticaustic time equal to the thickness for needing to be corroded divided by Corrosion rate.Wherein need the gross thickness that the thickness being corroded is equal to silicon chip to deduct the first thickness H1 for eroding, then deduct The remaining thickness after anticaustic, when being to ensure secondary taking-up silicon chip, the thickness for having corroded is 80%-85%, so After anticaustic, remaining thickness is the 15%-20% of the gross thickness of silicon chip.Corrosion rate V=H1/T is brought into, that is, The anticaustic time=(silicon chip gross thickness-H1-H3) * T/H1.When corrosion depth reaches 80%-85%, taking-up is placed in corrosion Silicon chip in solution, and remove the mask on the first mask with the second mask open opposite position, remove on the second mask with The mask of the first mask open opposite position, makes silicon chip removing the mask of correspondence position, and here is placed in etchant solution The silicon chip for only carrying out originally single-sided corrosion can be made afterwards to carry out two-sided etching, meanwhile, 80%- is reached in the corrosion depth of silicon chip When 85%, by silicon chip extracting after, in order to more accurately measure the depth corroded, will also be to taking out the corrosion depth of silicon chip H2 is measured, and to be precisely calculated final etching time, final etching time is discussed in greater detail hereinafter.Wherein corrosion depth Refer to, vertical dimension a little and between its initial surface of the silicon chip being corroded apart from most portionafrom theasurface.It is anisotropic by silicon chip Affect, it is a plane that a side of etching silicon wafer can make 111 faces of the silicon chip being etched, if otherwise directly carrying out two-sided Etching, 111 faces are then a curved surface.And 111 faces for plane silicon chip when in use, effect be better than 111 faces be curved surface silicon Piece.When corrosion depth reaches the 80%-85% of silicon chip gross thickness, remove position corresponding with the second mask open on the first mask The mask put, removes the mask with the first mask open opposite position on the second mask, then proceeds by the surface of silicon chip Two-sided etching, on the premise of 111 faces that ensure that are plane, the technique for completing etching.
The silicon chip that corrosion depth is H2 will be recorded to be placed in etchant solution, while reclocking, now, covered due to first With mask with the first mask open opposite position on the mask and the second mask of the second mask open opposite position on film It has been removed, protecting film is removed from the surface of silicon chip, so original tape has protecting film and the position that is removed starts and corruption Erosion solution reacts, that is, the two sides of silicon chip is performing etching.Reach when the time of reclocking, that is, remaining time During to (silicon chip gross thickness-H2) * T/H1, the silicon chip is taken out.Now the silicon chip is both the finished product silicon chip for completing to etch.
Can obtain there remains by the difference for calculating silicon chip gross thickness with measure corrosion depth H2 for obtaining for the second time many The silicon chip of few thickness is not corroded, and combines speed V for having calculated, and the silicon chip that can obtain residual thickness is also needed to How long can be corroded, i.e. remaining time=(silicon chip gross thickness-H2)/V, bring V=H1/T into the formula, that is, Remaining time=(silicon chip gross thickness-H2) * T/H1.Certainly, now remaining corrosion depth is the 15%- of silicon chip gross thickness 20%.By the position that can be more accurately determined two-sided etching cross point remaining time for calculating etching, make etched The phenomenon carved will not occur in journey, and then the defect rate of the silicon chip of the etching for making to complete declined.So far, how to determine that silicon chip is carved The problem of erosion time is just solved.
When etchant solution corrodes to the silicon chip with mask, that is, there is chemistry with silicon chip in etchant solution When reaction, a certain amount of reactant can be produced, reactant is in black particle shape, if not by the material of the black particle shape Clean out, then black particle shape material can affect silicon chip to proceed reaction with etchant solution, make the concordance that silicon chip is etched It is deteriorated.In order to overcome the problem, the silicon chip with mask is vertically placed to corrode in etchant solution in step so as to which corrosion is predetermined After thickness, also include step before step takes out the silicon chip with mask being vertically placed in etchant solution, it is interim to clean Silicon chip, specially:
The silicon chip with mask is taken out, and is cleaned with high-purity deionized water and Jing nitrogen is dried up;
The silicon chip with mask that Jing nitrogen is dried up is again placed in the etchant solution.
After corrosion certain hour, silicon chip is taken out with strong alkali-acid resistance tweezers, then is rinsed well with high-purity deionized water, Silicon chip high pure nitrogen is blown clean after the completion of flushing to reappose and continue corrosion in etchant solution.It should be noted that many The interim cleaning step of secondary repetition can reduce the black particle shape material produced on silicon chip surface during silicon chip erosion, improve overall The concordance of silicon chip erosion.Certainly, if repeat number of times it is excessively frequent, temporal waste can be caused, through measuring and calculating and Experiment show that interim cleaning was carried out once per 30 minutes just can be delayed while fully cleaning particulate material is ensured Normal etch period.Certainly, the work of interim cleaning in the whole process of corrosion, can be carried out to silicon chip, to remove its surface Black particle shape material.Interim cleaning can occur after being vertically placed to corrode in etchant solution by the silicon chip with mask, Before taking-up is vertically placed to the silicon chip with mask in etchant solution;Can also occur to be vertically placed in etchant solution in taking-up The silicon chip with mask after, until etching is completed, before taking out the silicon chip that corroded.
In deep silicon etching method provided by the present invention, the material of mask is SiO2, Tetramethylammonium hydroxide etchant solution pair The corrosion rate of SiO2 is extremely low, is especially suitable for deep silicon etching.Draw through measuring and calculating and experiment, etchant solution is mass concentration 25% Tetramethylammonium hydroxide etchant solution.
It is to be driven by magnetic stirring apparatuss to the stirrer that etchant solution is stirred, if its rotating speed is too high, corrodes Current in solution can affect the concentration of etchant solution, and rotating speed is too low, then do not have the effect of stirring.According to experiment measuring and calculating, magnetic The rotating speed of power agitator is that 160 turns/min-220 turns/min.
Temperature is an essential condition for affecting etchant solution and silicon chip reaction, can further be controlled by controlling reaction temperature Reaction processed carries out speed, and step is placed in etchant solution in water-bath and is heated to predetermined temperature, and by magnetic stirring apparatuss to corrosion Solution is stirred, and in making etchant solution internal temperature uniform, predetermined temperature is spent for 80 degree -85.When predetermined temperature at 80 degree extremely When between 85 degree, the speed of corrosion is relatively reasonable.
The silicon chip deionized water corroded is cleaned and Jing nitrogen is dried up, obtain finished product silicon chip.
After corrosion certain hour, the tweezers of the silicon chip strong alkali-acid resistance for having corroded are taken out, and deionized water Cleaned, dried up with nitrogen after cleaning again.Now the silicon chip through drying up is both the silicon chip for completing etching technics.
It should be noted that in the overall process of reaction, it is understood that drive after stirrer rotation for magnetic stirring apparatuss, Before the tweezers of the silicon chip strong alkali-acid resistance that will have corroded take out, as etchant solution carries out corruption to the silicon chip with mask It is that the hotter part of temperature can flow up in heat release, and etchant solution during erosion, and then in causing corrosion solution Temperature is not equal everywhere, that is, the phenomenon of thermal stratification.Meanwhile, the solute in etchant solution has precipitation to be occurred, and enters And the concentration in causing corrosion solution is not equal everywhere, that is, the phenomenon of concentration stratification.Though this kind of phenomenon can directly cause It is substantially equal everywhere that so silicon chip is put into the time in etchant solution, but the corrosion depth of the different piece on silicon chip is different , it is impossible to overcoming the problem of thermal stratification and concentration stratification directly result in the silicon chip for etching cannot use.
To overcome the problem of non-uniform temperature and uneven concentration, the stirrer driven by magnetic stirring apparatuss is in etching reaction The whole process for carrying out all in rotation so that temperature of the etchant solution in reactor in etching process is constantly in identical everywhere State and etchant solution are isocyatic state everywhere, it is ensured that the etching reaction carried out by each position of silicon chip is mutually synchronized Rate, and then the concordance of the structure and figure of the silicon chip for making to etch is more preferable.Fig. 4 shows the method pair using prior art The finished product enlarged drawing that silicon chip is performed etching, Fig. 5 are shown Finished product enlarged drawing.Very intuitively it can be seen that using the structure of the silicon chip etched after provided by the present invention but method, Figure, size concordance it is more preferable.
