Then, the processing method of the chip to being processed using laser processing device 1 to the wafer W shown in Fig. 2 is carried out Explanation.Wafer W is one of the machined object for the circular plate-like shape for implementing Laser Processing, for example, with the base being made up of silicon (Si) Plate.On the positive Wa of the substrate multiple devices are formed with the region marked off by a plurality of segmentation preset lines S of clathrate D.The back side Wb of the side opposite with positive Wa turns into for the incident plane of illumination of pulse laser beam described later.
Although not illustrated, such as protection band is pasted with the positive Wa of wafer W.On wafer W, it is pasted onto just Protection band side on the Wa of face is maintained on the holding unit 4 shown in Fig. 1, and back side Wb exposes upward.Also, pass through processing Feed unit 20 makes the holding unit 4 that remain wafer W move in the X-axis direction, and wafer W is moved to laser beam irradiation The lower section of unit 6.
(1) layer forming step is modified
The focal point of the pulse laser beam of the wavelength for wafer W with permeability is determined by laser beam irradiation unit 6 Position the inside of wafer W desired position and from the area illumination pulse corresponding with splitting preset lines S of Wb pairs of the back side of wafer W Laser beam, and feeding is relatively processed to holding unit 4 and laser beam irradiation unit 6, so that in the inside shape of wafer W Into modification layer.For example, being set to following processing conditions to implement to modify layer forming step.Also, modify layer forming step extremely The 1st step and second step of following explanation is included less to implement.
【Processing conditions】
Light source:YAG pulse lasers
Wavelength:1342nm
Average output:0.8W
Repetition rate:60kHz
Spot diameter:1.5μm
Process feed speed:700mm/s
(1-1) the 1st step
From laser beam irradiation unit 6 towards wafer W irradiated with pulse laser beam, as shown in figure 3, being internally formed in wafer W 1st modification layer 10.Specifically, laser beam irradiation unit 6 is adjusted so that concentrator 8 is in the direction close with wafer W It is upper to decline and the pulse laser beam LB1 of the wavelength (1342nm) for wafer W with permeability focal point 9a is positioned at leaned on The position of 1st depth H 1 of the positive Wa sides of nearly wafer W.The distance between positive Wa and the 1st depth H 1 of wafer W 101 is for example It is set to 60~70 μm.Also, pulse laser beam LB1 output is set to low output, so that from formation in wafer W The cracking (crackle) that the 1st modification layer 10 in portion is produced is not stretched longlyer on the thickness direction of wafer W.
Then, while with it is defined processing feed speed (700mm/s) wafer W is processed for example on X1 directions into Give, while making laser beam irradiation unit 6 shown in Fig. 1 along segmentation back side Wb side irradiated with pulse laser of the preset lines S from wafer W Beam LB1 and wafer W be internally formed intensity decreases the 1st modification layer 10.In addition, the length L1 of the 1st modification layer 10 is for example For 30 μm or so.
In the example in fig. 3, due to modifying the end of layer 10 towards the thickness of wafer W from formation the 1st of the inside of wafer W The cracking 11 that direction is produced is shorter, changes so being impinged upon in the absence of the pulse laser beam LB1 next irradiated from the 1st formed before The situation for causing the transmitted light that refraction or reflection occur at cracking 11 in the cracking 11 that matter layer 10 is produced.So, along Fig. 2 Shown column split preset lines S irradiated with pulse laser beam LB1 and be internally formed the 1st modification layer 10 in wafer W.
(1-2) second step
After the 1st step is implemented, along formd in the 1st step the 1st modification layer 10 segmentation preset lines S from swash Light beam illumination unit 6 is towards wafer W irradiated with pulse laser beam, as shown in figure 4, being internally formed the 2nd modification layer 12 in wafer W. Pulse laser beam LB2 output is set to low output in second step, so as to change from being formed the 2nd of the inside of wafer W The cracking that matter layer 12 is produced will not longlyer stretch on the thickness direction of wafer W.
Laser beam irradiation unit 6 shown in Fig. 1 is adjusted so that concentrator 8 is on from the remote direction of wafer W Rise, and it is as shown in figure 4, the pulse laser beam LB2 of the wavelength (1342nm) for wafer W with permeability focal point 9b is fixed Position is in the position of the 2nd depth H 2 of the back side Wb sides for the close wafer W for separating defined interval 100 upward from focal point 9a Put.Defined interval 100 is the interval between the 1st modification modification layer 12 of layer 10 and the 2nd, i.e. the 1st depth H 1 and the 2nd depth H 2 it Between interval.
On defined interval 100, led to not make the cracking of the 1st modification layer 10 and the 2nd modification layer 12 continuous each other Cause the cracking 13 especially produced from the 2nd modification layer 12 to the back side Wb sides of wafer W it is longer stretch, and by the defined interval 100 are set to the cracking discontinuous interval each other produced from the 1st modification modification layer 12 of layer 10 and the 2nd.It is preferred that between this is defined For example it is set as between 45~120 μm every 100.
Then, while with it is defined processing feed speed (700mm/s) wafer W is processed for example on X2 directions into Give, while making laser beam irradiation unit 6 shown in Fig. 1 along foring the segmentation preset lines S of the 1st modification layer 10 from wafer W Back side Wb sides irradiated with pulse laser beam LB2, so as to form intensity decreases in the top of the 1st modification layer 10 in the inside of wafer W The 2nd modification layer 12.In addition, the length L2 of the 2nd modification layer 12 is, for example, 30 μm or so.
With the 1st modification layer 10 similarly, since the tortoise produced from the end of the 2nd modification layer 12 towards the thickness direction of wafer W Split it is 13 shorter, so impinging upon what is produced from the 2nd modification layer 12 formed before in the absence of the pulse laser beam LB2 next irradiated Cause the transmitted light that the situation of refraction or reflection occurs at cracking 13 in cracking 13.Also, due to the 1st modification layer 10 with Interval 100 as defined in being provided between 2nd modification layer 12, so the tortoise produced from the 1st modification layer 10 is not present in second step Split 11 and the cracking 13 that is produced from the 2nd modification layer is continuous and situation that connected longlyer on the thickness direction of wafer W.In addition, Even if pulse laser beam LB2 light leak LB2 ' at the cracking 11 produced from the 1st modification layer 10 such as because occurring reflection, scattering And shine on device, due to energy attenuation, so also harmful effect will not be brought to device.
So, using the 1st step and second step as 1 group, the segmentation preset lines S of a row is laser machined.Pass through figure Indexable feed unit 30 shown in 1 carries out indexable feeding to holding unit 4 in the Y-axis direction, thus, carries out pulse laser beam The switching for the segmentation preset lines S that LB1 and pulse laser beam LB2 are irradiated.Also, repeat along whole segmentation preset lines S The step of row the 1st and second step, in the 1st modification modification layer 12 of layer 10 and the 2nd being internally formed as segmentation starting point of wafer W.
(2) segmentation step
After modification layer forming step is implemented, external force is applied to wafer W and layer is modified with the 1st modification layer 10 and the 2nd 12 split wafer W along segmentation preset lines S for segmentation starting point.For example, it is also possible to be ground by the back side carried out by grinding grinding tool Cut to carry out the segmentation of wafer W.In this case, while being pressed by the grinding grinding tool of rotation the back side Wb of wafer W, While carrying out thinning to wafer W until reaching desired thickness, and it is to split with the 1st modification modification layer 12 of layer 10 and the 2nd Wafer W is divided into the device chip with each device D by point by grinding action.
Segmentation step for example can also be carried out by expanding.In this case, elastic webbing is being pasted onto to the back of the body of wafer W In the state of the Wb of face, the elastic webbing is radially expanded, thus, external force is applied to the inside of wafer W, it is incessantly outer to bear Wafer W is divided into the device chip with each device D by the 1st modification layer 10 and the 2nd modification layer 12 of power for segmentation starting point. In this case, before above-mentioned modification layer forming step, wafer W is thinned into desired thickness in advance.Removed by (not shown) Go out unit etc. to be picked up to so splitting obtained device chip and be transported to next process.
So, the modification layer forming step having on the processing method of chip, the reality including at least the steps Apply:1st step, pulse laser beam LB1 focal point 9a is positioned close to the position of the 1st depth H 1 of the positive Wa sides of wafer W Put and irradiated with pulse laser beam LB1 so as to formed the 1st modification layer 10;And second step, by pulse laser beam LB2 focal point 9b is positioned at the position of the 2nd depth H 2 of the close back side Wb sides that defined interval 100 is separated away from the 1st modification layer 10 and irradiates arteries and veins Laser beam LB2 is so as to form the 2nd modification layer 12, in modification layer forming step, due to the output progress to pulse laser beam Being set so that the cracking 11,13 produced from the 1st modification modification layer 12 of layer 10 and the 2nd turns into will not be with the pulse next irradiated The length that laser beam meets, and defined interval 100 is set to the tortoise from the 1st modification modification generation of layer 12 of layer 10 and the 2nd Discontinuous interval each other is split, so the cracking 11,13 produced from the 1st modification modification layer 12 of layer 10 and the 2nd will not be in wafer W Stretched longlyer on thickness direction, the cracking produced from the 1st modification layer 10 and the 2nd modification layer 12 will not be longer because continuous each other Ground is connected.
Therefore, it is possible to suppress irradiated with pulse laser beam LB1 before pulse laser beam LB1, LB2 for next irradiating are impinged upon, Occur reflection/scattering in cracking 11,13 formed by LB2, can prevent from being formed the device D on the positive Wa of wafer W and damage Wound.
In the modification layer forming step shown in present embodiment, to being internally formed two modification layers (the in wafer W 1 modification layer 10 and the 2nd modification layer 12) situation be illustrated, but formed the inside of wafer W modification layer quantity not It is only limitted to this.For example, layer can be modified to two modification layer increases the 3rd and in the 3 modification layers that are internally formed of wafer W, also may be used To modify layer to 3 modification layer increases the 4th 4 modification layers are internally formed in wafer W.Equally in this case, each modification Interval between layer is set to make from the cracking of each modification layer generation discontinuous interval each other.
【Embodiment 1】
Then, one side reference picture 5, while to the crevasse crack propagation because of the modification layer generation from the inside of wafer W in wafer W Positive Wa on the evaluation experimental of the generation quantity of damage that produces and device D segmentation rate illustrate.In the present embodiment, Which kind of degree is set as to the defined interval between the 1st modification modification layer 12 of layer 10 and the 2nd of the inside that will be formed in wafer W Interval can obtain good result and tested.The use of be formed as a diameter of 300mm, thickness is 775 μ as wafer W M and on front the aluminium film covered with 100nm silicon wafer.The distance setting of layer 10 will be modified from the positive Wa to the 1st of wafer W For 60 μm.The defined interval of layer 12 is modified for the 1st modification layer 10 and the 2nd, according to every 10 μm between 20~140 μm Interval setting, the processing same with above-mentioned modification layer forming step and above-mentioned segmentation step is carried out to each wafer W, and in crystalline substance The number of damage (damage in aluminium film) and device D segmentation rate produced on piece W positive Wa is measured.The generation of damage Quantity is that the number of the damage produced on 1 line of the segmentation preset lines S at the central portion to wafer W is counted and obtained 's.Also, device D segmentation rate is calculated in the following way:By actually split obtained device D number divided by The total device count that can be obtained from 1 wafer W.
As shown in Fig. 5 chart, between as defined in the 1st modification modification layer 12 of layer 10 and the 2nd at intervals of 20~40 μm When, device D segmentation rate is 100%, but generates on the positive Wa of wafer W the damage of more than 10.When defined interval During between 45 μm~120 μm, there is no the generation of damage on the positive Wa of wafer W, device D segmentation rate is also 100%.So Afterwards, when it is defined at intervals of more than 120 μm when, there is no the generation of damage, but device D segmentation rate on the positive Wa of wafer W It is reduced to 60~70% or so.
So, it is thus identified that although can be obtained entirely from 1 wafer W in the case of defined interval narrower (20~40 μm) The device D in portion, but more damage can be produced on the positive Wa of wafer W.On the other hand, it is thus identified that although at defined interval Damaged farther out in the case of (more than 120 μm) on the positive Wa of wafer W without generation, but device D segmentation rate is deteriorated.Cause This, it is thus identified that by defined interval it is set as that most good result can be obtained in the case of 45~120 μm.
