First, as it is shown in figure 1, partly the leading of such as thickness about 700 μm being made up of silicon (Si) The face side of body wafer 1 forms facade element structure.Facade element structure refers to be formed at active region Mos gate (insulated gate being made up of the metal-oxide film-quasiconductor) knot of such as longitudinal type MOSFET Unit cell structure (functional unit of element) such as structure (not shown) and/or be formed at terminal structure field The pressure-resistance structure (not shown) such as protection ring.The region of current flowing is had when active region is conducting state. Terminal structure region is arranged to surround around active region, and relax chip front side side electric field and Keep pressure region.Facade element structure is respectively formed in chip region 10, described chip region 10 be Semiconductor wafer 1 is configured with multiple.
Chip region 10 becomes semiconductor wafer (quasiconductor when being and semiconductor wafer 1 is cut into each shaped like chips Substrate) region, surround about with line of cut 2.Specifically, line of cut 2 is at semiconductor wafer The front of 1 is configured to cancellate plane figure, and chip region 10 is configured to line of cut 2 encirclement Rectangular plane figure.Line of cut 2 be the front of semiconductor wafer 1 be formed without surface described later The exposed portion of protecting film 13, joint-cutting when being that semiconductor wafer 1 is cut into single shaped like chips.Make For being formed at an example of the component structure of chip region 10, the super node MOSFET of n-channel type is shown In Fig. 2.In the case of the super node MOSFET shown in Fig. 2 is formed at chip region 10, such as, prepare As n+The initial wafer 21 of type drop ply.
Initial wafer 21 can be such as with 1 × 1019/cm3The most miscellaneous example of arsenic (As) of input dosage Silicon (Si) wafer such as the thickness about 725 μm.It follows that such as utilize each stacking N-shaped extension Only selectively ion implanting n-type impurity or be selectively ion-implanted n-type impurity and N-shaped during layer The multilayer epitaxial mode of impurity, is formed n-type area 23 and p-type area 24 edge in the front of initial wafer 21 The direction parallel with front wafer surface is alternately repeated the pn layer 25 arranged side by side of configuration.Now, the most permissible The N-shaped epitaxial layer 22,26 of the orlop being layered in initial wafer 21 and the superiors is not carried out ion Inject.Utilize operation hereto, be produced in initial wafer 21 and be sequentially laminated with undermost N-shaped The semiconductor wafer 1 of the N-shaped epitaxial layer 26 of epitaxial layer 22, pn layer 25 arranged side by side and the superiors.
It follows that such as form the mos gate structure etc. of plane grid-type in the face side of semiconductor wafer 1 Unit cell structure, the pressure-resistance structure such as protection ring.Specifically, by semiconductor wafer 1 just Face forms the screen oxide film (not shown) of the thickness of 50nm, across screen oxide film at semiconductor wafer The front of 1 carries out the ion implanting of the p-type impurity such as such as phosphorus (P), thus at N-shaped epitaxial layer 26 Surface layer forms n-type area 27.The impurity concentration in N-shaped field 27 can be p-type base 30 described later The 10 of impurity concentration-1Times, it is also possible to be n-type area 23 impurity concentration 102Times.
It follows that after eliminating screen oxide film, form the thickness of 100nm on the surface of n-type area 27 The gate insulating film 28 of degree.It follows that pile up (formation) with the thickness of 500nm on gate insulating film 28 It is made to pattern as the polysilicon layer of gate electrode 29.It follows that using gate electrode 29 as mask example As after the ion implanting of the n-type impurity such as boron (B), such as, (moved back by the heat treatment of the temperature of 1150 DEG C Fire) make impurity spread, with arrive the degree of depth in p-type field 24 n-type area 27 surface layer optionally Form p-type base 30.At this point it is possible to together with p-type base 30, formed in terminal structure region and protect The pressure-resistance structures such as retaining ring.It follows that by photoetching and ion implanting are repeated, utilize heat treatment to make miscellaneous Matter spreads, thus respectively selectively forms p in the inside of p-type base 30+Type contact area 31 and n+Type Source region 32.
It follows that clean semiconductor wafer 1.Then, such as utilize chemical vapor-phase growing (CVD: Chemical Vapor Deposition) method, in the way of covering grid electrode 29 at semiconductor wafer 1 just Face forms the interlayer dielectrics such as such as BPSG (Boro Phospho Silicate Glass: boron-phosphorosilicate glass) 33.It follows that by utilizing photoetching and etching to be formed at interlayer dielectric 33 in through the connecing of depth direction Contact hole 34, makes p+Type contact area 31 and n+Type source region 32 is exposed.It follows that utilize sputtering, with embedment The mode of contact hole 34 is formed such as by aluminum-silicon-copper (Al-Si-Cu) alloy structure on interlayer dielectric 33 The source electrode 35 become and electrode pad (not shown) etc..
It follows that carry out the temperature for make source electrode 35 and electrode pad low resistance such as 400 DEG C Heat treatment.This source electrode 35 is equivalent to the such as electrode pad (source electrode pad) 11 of Fig. 1 (b), Here the electrode pad formed is equivalent to the such as electrode pad 12 of Fig. 1 (b).Source electrode 35 and electrode Pad can be formed respectively.It follows that form surface protection film (passivation in the whole front of semiconductor wafer Film) 13, utilize surface protection film 13 to cover facade element structure.As the material of surface protection film 13, Use the thermosetting resins such as polyimides (PI), polybenzoxazole (PBO).It follows that by selecting Property ground remove surface protection film 13, thus while making various electrode pad 11,12 expose, with bag The mode enclosing chip region 10 forms line of cut 2 (Fig. 1 (b)).
The reason forming line of cut 2 is when semiconductor wafer 1 is cut into each shaped like chips, surface protection Film 13 can become cutting bits and produce granule.Surface protection film 13 can extend substantially to the weldering of various electrode On the end of dish 11,12.Fig. 1 (b) shows and prolongs on the end of various electrode pads 11,12 Stretch the state having surface protection film 13.The material of surface protection film 13 can be photosensitive with right and wrong, it is possible to Being photosensitive.In the case of the material making surface protection film 13 is non-photosensitive, utilize photoetching and Etching selectivity ground removes surface protection film 13.On the other hand, at the material by surface protection film 13 Material be set to photosensitive in the case of, can optionally remove surface protection film as described later merely with photoetching 13。
As it is shown on figure 3, formed by photonasty and heat cured resin in the whole front of semiconductor wafer 1 The surface protection film 41 constituted.The thickness t1 of the surface protection film 41 before densification can be such as About 16 μm.It follows that as shown in Figure 4, surface protection film 41 is formed etchant resist 42, utilizes Exposed and developed etchant resist 42 is made to pattern.Now, together with etchant resist 42, with etchant resist 42 phase Same pattern makes surface protection film 41 pattern.Thus, various electrode pad 11,12 is made to expose, and And, make the front of semiconductor wafer 1 expose in surrounding the clathrate being configured to rectangular chip region 10. Make the front of this semiconductor wafer 1 be the part exposed of clathrate be line of cut 2.Owing to can cutting The shaking volume of cutter regards deviation value as, so the width w1 of line of cut 2 can thick than the blade of cutter Degree width, such as, can be about 80 μm.By making the width w1 of line of cut 2 blade than cutter Thickness width, it is possible to suppression cuts to chip region 10, the situation of surface protection film 13 by cutter, Chip can be reduced bad.
It follows that as it is shown in figure 5, after eliminating etchant resist 42, such as pass through about 400 DEG C At a temperature of heat treatment (roasting) make surface protection film 41 densification.This heat treatment such as can be by whole Semiconductor wafer 1 keeps 75 minutes in such as remaining the constant temperature oven of temperature of about 380 DEG C.Pass through This heat treatment makes surface protection film 41 thermal contraction, and the thickness t2 of the surface protection film 13 after densification is such as Become about 10 μm.It addition, by making surface protection film 41 thermal contraction, thus at semiconductor wafer 1 Face side, near the end of the surface protection film 13 after densification (i.e. chip region 10 with cut Near the border of secant 2) on the direction of side, chip region 10, produce compression stress 43.Now, half Conductor wafer 1 by thin plate, is not thick state, and therefore semiconductor wafer 1 does not almost produce warpage, But the compression stress 43 being applied to the face side of semiconductor wafer 1 concentrates on the end of surface protection film 13 Near.
Therefore, as shown in Figure 6, photoetching and etching are utilized, in the position of the line of cut 2 of semiconductor wafer 1 Put formation groove 3.By forming groove 3 at line of cut 2, it can be ensured that the face side at semiconductor wafer 1 is produced The passing away of raw compression stress 43, thus relax the compression of the face side being applied to semiconductor wafer 1 Stress 43.The width w2 of groove 3 can be below the width w1 (w1 >=w2) of line of cut 2.Preferably, The width w2 of groove 3 can narrower than the width w1 of line of cut 2 (w1 > w2), can be such as 50 μm Left and right.Owing to there is no exposed chip district 10 at the inwall of groove 3, it is possible to be avoided by cutter cutting Situation to chip region 10.Although it addition, the width w2 of groove 3 can be than the thickness of the blade of cutter Narrow, but cutter are due to cutting-up etc. in groove 3, it may occur however that and the life-span of cutter is short, or at quasiconductor The generation crack, end of wafer, cut.It is therefore preferable that the width w2 of groove 3 is than the blade of cutter Thickness width.
Degree of depth d of groove 3 can be the face side of semiconductor wafer 1 compression stress 43 concentrate the degree of depth with On.Specifically, the thickness t2 of the surface protection film 13 after degree of depth d of groove 3 can be densification About more than 1/2 (d >=1/2 × t2).More making degree of depth d of groove 3 is the surface protection film 13 after densification Thickness t2 more than 1/2 the degree of depth, more can reduce when making the lower thickness of semiconductor wafer 1 produce It is born in the warpage of semiconductor wafer 1.It addition, for example, it is preferable to comprise carbon tetrafluoride (CF by employing4) With hydrogen (H2) the anisotropy dry type etching of atmosphere etc. groove 3 is formed as cross section is substantially rectangular shape Shape.Its reason is dimensional accuracy can to form groove 3 well.It follows that remove for forming groove 3 The photoresistive mask etched and the polymer generated when etching.Therefore, it is possible to described later from the back side Side grinding semiconductor chip 1 relaxes the compression stress produced because of the densification of surface protection film 13 before, Manufacturing process after not carrying out when being applied with compression stress.Thus, carrying out from rear side In the thin plate chemical industry journey of grinding semiconductor chip 1, semiconductor wafer 1 is nearly free from warpage.Therefore, Easily carry out the thin plate of semiconductor wafer 1.It addition, can stably carry out at semiconductor wafer 1 The operations such as the formation of the backplate carried out after thin plate, the cutting making semiconductor wafer 1 singualtion, Chip can be reduced bad.
It follows that from rear side grinding semiconductor chip 1, be ground to the goods as semiconductor device thick The position of degree (about such as 180 μm).The pressure of the face side to semiconductor wafer 1 applied as described above Stress under compression 43 is relaxed by the groove 3 that formed at line of cut 2.Therefore, semiconductor wafer 1 is almost Do not produce warpage, it is possible to make the lower thickness of semiconductor wafer 1.It follows that at semiconductor wafer 1 The back side after grinding forms the backplate 36 as drain electrode.Afterwards, semiconductor wafer 1 is cut (single Sheet) it is single shaped like chips.That is, by along line of cut 2 cutting semiconductor chip 1, by each chip District 10 is separated into single semiconductor wafer, thus completes the longitudinal type MOSFET shown in Fig. 2 and (partly lead Body wafer).Then, by this semiconductor wafer is arranged on the circuit pattern of insulated substrate, draw Line bonding, connect up and the common assembling procedure such as sealing, thus complete semiconductor device.
It follows that the end shape of semiconductor wafer (i.e. the state of goods) is illustrated.Fig. 7 is Represent the sectional view of the end shape of the semiconductor device of embodiment 1.In Fig. 7, eliminate element knot The diagram of each several part beyond the surface protection film 13 of structure.It addition, though it is shown that from Fig. 1's in Fig. 7 One of cross section in the line of cut B-B' of the semiconductor wafer (semiconductor substrate) of semiconductor wafer 1 cutting Individual end, but the surrounding of substantially rectangular semiconductor wafer (i.e. four limits) all almost identical shapes State.Specifically, it is set as the blade than cutter as described above by by the width w1 of line of cut 2 Thickness width, thus be formed without table in the end of semiconductor wafer surrounding to remain in the way of chip region 10 The line of cut 2 of surface protective film 13.But, the side (end face) of semiconductor chip is according to being formed at cutting The width w2 of the groove 3 of line 2 and different.
As shown in Fig. 7 (a), in the case of the width w2 of groove 3 is wider than the thickness of the blade of cutter, Groove 3 is cut cutter and disconnects.Therefore, the side at semiconductor wafer remains with in chip front side side by such as The groove 3 of L-shaped is formed on sidewall and bottom.The chip back side of the side of semiconductor wafer is from groove 3 Bottom utilizes, to chip back, the facet 14a that cutter obtain.That is, by the front at semiconductor wafer Side remains groove 3, thus the width w11 of the face side of semiconductor chip is narrower than the width w12 of rear side. On the other hand, as shown in Fig. 7 (b), narrower than the thickness of the blade of cutter at the width w2 of groove 3 In the case of, groove 3 is cut cutter cutting.Therefore, the side of semiconductor wafer is from chip front side to the back side The facet 14b utilizing cutter and obtain.That is, the width w13 of semiconductor wafer is from face side to the back of the body Side, face is the same.Width w11~w13 of semiconductor wafer is to have partly leading of substantially rectangular flat shape The length on one side of body wafer.
It follows that degree of depth d of groove 3 is verified with the relation of the amount of warpage of semiconductor wafer 1.Figure 8 is the degree of depth performance plot with the relation of the amount of warpage of semiconductor wafer of the groove representing line of cut.Fig. 8 (a) Degree of depth d that transverse axis is the groove 3 being formed at line of cut 2, the longitudinal axis is amount of warpage t12 of semiconductor wafer. Amount of warpage t12 of semiconductor wafer refers to the convex surface (back side 1b) of the semiconductor wafer 1 of the state in warpage The thickest direction of thickness outside (lower section) prominent from apex 1c to the angle of the convex side of wafer end The distance (Fig. 8 (b)) of portion 1d.Symbol 1a be the concave surface of the semiconductor wafer 1 of the state of warpage (just Face).In Fig. 8 (b), eliminate the diagram of the groove 3 formed at line of cut 2.
First, according to the manufacture method of the semiconductor device of above-mentioned embodiment 1, be ready for from Face side forms the operation of facade element structure to the operation of the lower thickness making semiconductor wafer 1 Multiple samples (semiconductor wafer 1).Degree of depth d of the groove being formed at line of cut 2 of each sample is different, Condition beyond degree of depth d of grooving 3 is foregoing illustrative each condition.That is, the surface before densification is protected The thickness t1 of cuticula 41 is set to 16 μm.The thickness t2 of the surface protection film 13 after densification is set to 10μm.The thickness t1 after the thin plate of semiconductor wafer 1 is made to be thinned to 180 μm.Then, these are measured The amount of warpage of each sample.The results are shown in Fig. 8 (a).
Can confirm that according to the result shown in Fig. 8 (a), degree of depth d of groove 3 is relative to the surface after densification When the thickness t2 of protecting film 13 is about 1/2 (=5 μm), the amount of warpage of semiconductor wafer 1 with partly lead The thickness t1 of body wafer 1 be the amount of warpage (≈ 200 μm) during 200 μm be same degree.Additionally can be true Recognize, by increasing degree of depth d of groove 3 further, it is possible to reduce the amount of warpage of semiconductor wafer 1 further.
As it has been described above, according to embodiment 1, even if using thermosetting resin as surface protection film In the case of material, by removing the surface protection film on line of cut before making surface protection film densification, Manufacturing process can changed hardly, and pass through surface protection film in the case of not adding new equipment Formation relax semiconductor wafer face side produce compression stress.Thus, partly lead making afterwards During the lower thickness of body wafer, semiconductor wafer is nearly free from warpage.Therefore, quasiconductor is easily carried out The thin plate of wafer, it is possible to easily carry out the exothermicity raising of semiconductor wafer, the low electricity of semiconductor element Resistanceization.By improving the thermal diffusivity of semiconductor wafer, such as produce when can be released in switch motion efficiently Raw heat, improves the stability of element movement.By realizing the low resistance of semiconductor element, it is possible to Reduce energy loss.
It addition, according to embodiment 1, even if use thermosetting resin is as the material of surface protection film, It also is able to improve the reliability of semiconductor element.It addition, according to embodiment 1, even if making semiconductor die The lower thickness of sheet, semiconductor wafer is also nearly free from warpage, and it is possible to stably to carry out is laggard The formation of the backplate of row, make the operation such as cutting of semiconductor wafer singualtion.Thereby, it is possible to reduce Chip is bad.It addition, according to embodiment 1, due to not as in the past by outside semiconductor wafer Perimembranous thickens residual for preset width to guarantee the intensity of semiconductor wafer, it is possible to increase semiconductor die The area of effective chip region of sheet.Thereby, it is possible to increase from having that a piece of semiconductor wafer can cut out Effect chip-count, it is possible to reduce manufacturing cost.
