Description

Dicing tape with adhesive film
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a dicing tape of a tape adhesive film that can be used in a manufacturing process of a semiconductor device.
Background
In the manufacturing process of a semiconductor device, a dicing tape with an adhesive film is sometimes used in order to obtain a semiconductor chip with an adhesive film having a size equivalent to that of a chip for die bonding, that is, a semiconductor chip with an adhesive film. The dicing tape with the adhesive film has, for example: the dicing tape includes a base material and an adhesive layer, and an adhesive film that is releasably adhered to the adhesive layer side thereof. The adhesive film has a disk shape exceeding the size of a semiconductor wafer as a work, and a dicing tape having a disk shape exceeding the size of the adhesive film, for example, is attached concentrically to the adhesive layer side thereof.
As one of methods for obtaining a semiconductor chip with an adhesive film using a dicing tape with an adhesive film, a method is known which comprises the steps of: and a step for expanding a dicing tape in the dicing tape with the adhesive film to sever the adhesive film. In this method, first, a semiconductor wafer is bonded to an adhesive film of a dicing tape with the adhesive film. The semiconductor wafer is processed such that it can be singulated into a plurality of semiconductor chips by being cut together with the dicing of the adhesive film, for example. Next, in a predetermined expanding apparatus, the dicing tape of the dicing tape is expanded in the radial direction thereof in order to sever the adhesive film so that a plurality of adhesive film chips each adhering to the semiconductor chip are generated from the adhesive film on the dicing tape (expanding step). In this expanding step, the dicing is also performed at a position on the adhesive film corresponding to the dicing position of the adhesive film of the semiconductor wafer, and the semiconductor wafer is singulated into a plurality of semiconductor chips on the dicing tape with the adhesive film and/or the dicing tape. Then, in a predetermined dicing bonding apparatus including a pick-up step mechanism or the like, each semiconductor chip is picked up from the dicing tape by being lifted up from the lower side of the dicing tape by the pin member of the pick-up mechanism together with an adhesive film having a size corresponding to the chip, which is adhered thereto (pick-up step). Thus, a semiconductor chip with an adhesive film was obtained. The semiconductor chip with the adhesive film is fixedly adhered to an adherend such as a mounting substrate by die bonding via the adhesive film. For example, the technique of cutting a tape with an adhesive film used in the above-described operation is described in, for example, patent documents 1 and 2 below.

Problems to be solved by the invention
Conventionally, a dicing tape having an adhesive film with ultraviolet-curable adhesive layer is sometimes used as the dicing tape adhesive layer. In the process of manufacturing a semiconductor device using such dicing tape with adhesive film, the adhesive force of the dicing tape adhesive layer of the semiconductor chip with a plurality of adhesive films is remarkably reduced by UV irradiation in the ultraviolet irradiation apparatus before the pickup step (ultraviolet irradiation step).
The ultraviolet irradiation device includes, for example, a chamber for performing UV irradiation. The workpiece to be irradiated with UV (for example, dicing tape for holding the tape adhesive film of the semiconductor chips obtained by singulation) is set in a chamber in a state of being housed in a plurality of cassettes (magazines), for example, and is subjected to an ultraviolet irradiation process. In a semiconductor device manufacturing line, there are cases where: the ultraviolet irradiation apparatus is continuously operated, and for example, such an ultraviolet irradiation process is sequentially repeated for each new set of UV irradiation target workpieces.
However, when the ultraviolet irradiation device is continuously operated, the ambient temperature in the chamber in which the UV irradiation is continuously or intermittently performed tends to be increased. The temperature in the chamber at the time of UV irradiation affects the degree of UV curing of the UV curable dicing tape adhesive layer of the dicing tape with adhesive film, and therefore affects the degree of decrease in the adhesive force of the adhesive layer. Specifically, there is a tendency that: the higher the temperature in the chamber at the time of UV irradiation, the lower the progress of ultraviolet curing of the ultraviolet curable dicing tape adhesive layer of the dicing tape adhesive film, and the lower the degree of decrease in adhesive force.
Therefore, conventionally, in a dicing tape (semiconductor chip with a singulated adhesive film on the dicing tape) with an adhesive film subjected to UV irradiation under a high temperature environment in an ultraviolet irradiation process, the semiconductor chip with an adhesive film may not be picked up properly from the dicing tape in a subsequent pickup process.
The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a dicing tape with an adhesive film, which is suitable for satisfactorily cutting the adhesive film on the dicing tape in an expanding process using the dicing tape with an adhesive film for obtaining semiconductor chips with an adhesive film, and is suitable for suppressing the semiconductor chips with an adhesive film after cutting from floating from the dicing tape and achieving satisfactory pickup in a pickup process.
Solution for solving the problem
The dicing tape with an adhesive film provided by the invention is provided with a dicing tape and an adhesive film. The dicing tape has a laminated structure including a base material and an ultraviolet-curable adhesive layer. The adhesive film is peelably adhered to the adhesive layer of the dicing tape. In addition, in the dicing tape of the tape adhesive film, the ratio of the 1 st peel adhesion to the 2 nd peel adhesion of the 1 st peel adhesion, which is subjected to 300mJ/cm at a temperature of 22 ℃, is 0.8 to 2, preferably 0.9 to 1.8 2 The 1 st peel adhesion between the adhesive layer and the adhesive film in the 1 st test piece irradiated with ultraviolet rays, as measured by the T-type peel test, the 2 nd peel adhesion being 300mJ/cm at a temperature of 60 DEG C 2 The 2 nd peel adhesion between the adhesive layer and the adhesive film in the 2 nd test piece irradiated with ultraviolet rays, as measured by the T-type peel test. The 1 st test piece and the 2 nd test piece are test pieces cut from the dicing tape of the tape adhesive film, and each of the test pieces has the dicing tape and the adhesive layer detachably adhered to the ultraviolet curable adhesive layerA film. In the present invention, the ultraviolet irradiation to which the test piece is subjected means ultraviolet irradiation (irradiation from the substrate side) to the adhesive layer in the test piece across the substrate. 300mJ/cm 2 For example, the ultraviolet irradiation of (C) may be performed at an irradiation intensity of 150mW/cm 2 Is realized by irradiation of ultraviolet rays for 2 seconds. The T-type peel test for measuring the 1 st peel adhesion and the 2 nd peel adhesion was performed at 23℃and a peel speed of 300 mm/min. The dicing tape with the adhesive film having the above-described configuration can be used in the process of obtaining a semiconductor chip with the adhesive film in the manufacture of a semiconductor device.
As described above, the dicing tape having the adhesive film has a ratio of the 1 st peel adhesion to the 2 nd peel adhesion of 0.8 to 2, preferably 0.9 to 1.8, the 1 st peel adhesion being 300mJ/cm at a temperature of 22 DEG C 2 The 1 st peel adhesion between the adhesive layer and the adhesive film in the 1 st test piece irradiated with ultraviolet rays, as measured by the T-type peel test, the 2 nd peel adhesion being 300mJ/cm at a temperature of 60 DEG C 2 The 2 nd peel adhesion between the adhesive layer and the adhesive film in the 2 nd test piece irradiated with ultraviolet rays, as measured by the T-type peel test. When the temperature dependence of the decrease in the adhesive strength due to the irradiation of ultraviolet rays is limited to this range, the balance between the adhesive strength before the irradiation of ultraviolet rays (the adhesive strength before the irradiation of ultraviolet rays) and the adhesive strength after the irradiation of ultraviolet rays (the adhesive strength after the irradiation of ultraviolet rays) in the step of irradiating ultraviolet rays, which is actually accompanied by a change in the ambient temperature, is easily achieved, and therefore, it is easy to achieve both of the relatively high adhesive strength required for the dicing tape adhesive layer in the above-mentioned expanding step for cutting the adhesive film on the dicing tape from the wafer, and the relatively low adhesive strength required for the dicing tape adhesive layer in the above-mentioned picking step for picking up the semiconductor chips of the tape adhesive film from the dicing tape. The inventors have obtained the findings described above. Specifically, examples and comparative examples described below are shown.
The composition having the above ratio of 2 or less, preferably 1.8 or less is suitable for securing a sufficiently strong UV-irradiation adhesive force in the dicing tape adhesive layer, and not only the adhesive force obtained when subjected to UV irradiation in a normal temperature environment, but also the adhesive force obtained when subjected to UV irradiation in a high temperature environment of about 60 ℃ is practically used as a sufficiently weak UV-irradiation adhesive force required in the pickup step. In addition, a dicing tape adhesive layer in which a relatively high adhesive force required in the expanding process is sufficiently ensured is suitable for suppressing floating of the semiconductor chip with the adhesive film on the dicing tape from the dicing tape during the period from the expanding process to the ultraviolet irradiation process.
As described above, the dicing tape with the adhesive film is suitable for satisfactorily cutting the adhesive film on the dicing tape in the expanding process, and is suitable for achieving satisfactory pickup in the pickup process while suppressing floating of the diced tape.
The 1 st peel adhesion of the dicing tape of the tape adhesive film is preferably 0.03 to 0.15N/20mm. Such a configuration is preferable for limiting the post-UV irradiation adhesive force of the dicing tape adhesive layer in a practical range in consideration of a change in actual ambient temperature in the ultraviolet irradiation step.
The peel adhesion between the dicing tape adhesive layer and the adhesive film in the dicing tape with adhesive film, as measured by the T-type peel test at 23℃and a peel speed of 300 mm/min, is preferably 1.5 to 4.5N/20mm. Such a configuration is suitable for suppressing the floating of the semiconductor chips with the adhesive film on the dicing tape from the dicing tape during the period from the expanding step to the ultraviolet irradiation step when the dicing tape using the adhesive film is subjected to the expanding step. Further, this configuration is preferable for practical use of the pre-UV-irradiation adhesive force of the dicing tape adhesive layer and for limiting the post-UV-irradiation adhesive force in consideration of the actual ambient temperature change in the ultraviolet irradiation step to a practical range.
The peel adhesion between the adhesive layer and the adhesive film in the dicing tape with the adhesive film is preferably 0.5 to 2N/20mm as measured by the T-peel test at-5℃and a peel speed of 300 mm/min. Such a configuration is suitable for satisfactorily cutting the adhesive film on the dicing tape when the dicing tape using the adhesive film is subjected to the stretching step at a low temperature of, for example, 0 ℃. Further, this configuration is preferable for practical use of the pre-UV-irradiation adhesive force of the dicing tape adhesive layer and for limiting the post-UV-irradiation adhesive force in consideration of the actual ambient temperature change in the ultraviolet irradiation step to a practical range.
The adhesive film in the dicing tape with an adhesive film preferably has a storage modulus (tensile storage modulus) at 25℃of 1 to 5GPa, more preferably 1.2 to 4GPa. Such a configuration is preferable for ensuring the adhesion of the adhesive film to the dicing tape adhesive layer at room temperature and a temperature range around the room temperature.
The storage modulus of the adhesive film in the dicing tape with the adhesive film at-5℃is preferably 3 to 5GPa, more preferably 3.5 to 4.5GPa. Such a constitution is suitable for ensuring the severability of the adhesive film under a low temperature condition of, for example, 0 ℃ or less.
The dicing tape of the tape-bonded film preferably has a tensile stress at a strain value of 20% of 3 to 12MPa, more preferably 3.5 to 11.5MPa, in a tensile test conducted on a dicing tape test piece having a width of 10mm at an initial inter-chuck distance of 100mm, -5 ℃ and a tensile speed of 300 mm/min. Such a configuration is suitable for satisfactorily cutting the adhesive film on the dicing tape when the dicing tape using the adhesive film is subjected to the stretching step at a temperature of, for example, 0 ℃.

In addition, since the technical difficulty in producing a polymer having an isocyanate group with high reactivity is high, it is more preferable that the 1 st functional group on the acrylic polymer side is a hydroxyl group and the 2 nd functional group is an isocyanate group from the viewpoint of ease of producing or obtaining an acrylic polymer.

In this measurement, the initial inter-chuck distance of the chuck for holding the sample piece was set to 22.5mm, the measurement mode was set to the stretching mode, the measurement environment was set to the nitrogen atmosphere, the measurement temperature range was set to, for example, -40 to 280 ℃, the frequency was set to 10Hz, the dynamic strain was set to 0.005%, and the temperature rise rate was set to 10 ℃/min. The storage modulus of the adhesive film 20 can be adjusted by, for example, adjusting the amount of filler blended in the adhesive film 20, adjusting the glass transition temperature of the thermoplastic resin blended with an acrylic polymer or the like, and adjusting the amount of the thermosetting component blended at room temperature.
The dicing tape X having the above-mentioned constitution of the tape adhesive film has a ratio of the 1 st peel adhesion to the 2 nd peel adhesion of 0.8 to 2, preferably 0.9 to 1.8, wherein the 1 st peel adhesion is 300mJ/cm at a temperature of 22 DEG C 2 The 1 st peel adhesion between the adhesive layer 12 and the adhesive film 20 in the 1 st test piece irradiated with ultraviolet rays, as measured by the T-type peel test, the 2 nd peel adhesion was subjected to 300mJ/cm at a temperature of 60 DEG C 2 The 2 nd peel adhesion between the adhesive layer 12 and the adhesive film 20 in the 2 nd test piece irradiated with ultraviolet rays, as measured by the T-type peel test. The 1 st test piece and the 2 nd test piece are test pieces cut out from the dicing tape X with an adhesive film, and each of the test pieces has the dicing tape 10 and the adhesive film 20 releasably adhered to the ultraviolet-curable adhesive layer 12 thereof. In the present embodiment, the ultraviolet irradiation to which the test piece is subjected means that the adhesive layer 12 in the test piece is irradiated with ultraviolet rays (irradiated from the side of the substrate 11) across the substrate 11. 300mJ/cm 2 For example, the ultraviolet irradiation of (C) may be performed at an irradiation intensity of 150mW/cm 2 Is realized by irradiation of ultraviolet rays for 2 seconds. The T-type peel test for measuring the 1 st peel adhesion and the 2 nd peel adhesion was performed at 23℃and a peel speed of 300 mm/min. The T-type peel test can be performed, for example, using a T-type peel tester (trade name "Autograph AG-20KNSD", manufactured by Shimadzu corporation).
The 1 st peel adhesion of the dicing tape X with an adhesive film is preferably 0.03 to 0.15N/20mm.
The peel adhesion (3 rd peel adhesion) between the adhesive layer 12 and the adhesive film 20 in the dicing tape X with adhesive film, as measured by the T-type peel test at 23 ℃ and a peel speed of 300 mm/min, is preferably 1.5 to 4.5N/20mm.
The peel adhesion (4 th peel adhesion) between the adhesive layer 12 and the adhesive film 20 in the dicing tape X with adhesive film, as measured by the T-type peel test at-5 ℃ and a peel speed of 300 mm/min, is preferably 0.5 to 2N/20mm.
These peel adhesion forces (1 st to 4 th peel adhesion forces) can be adjusted by, for example, adjusting the storage modulus as described above.
The dicing tape X of the tape adhesive film described above can be manufactured, for example, as follows.
The dicing tape 10 of the dicing tape X with an adhesive film can be produced by providing the adhesive layer 12 on the prepared base material 11. For example, the resin substrate 11 can be produced by a film-forming method such as a roll-forming method, a casting method in an organic solvent, a blow-extrusion method in a closed system, a T-die extrusion method, a coextrusion method, or a dry lamination method. The film after the film formation and/or the substrate 11 are subjected to a predetermined surface treatment as needed. In the formation of the adhesive layer 12, for example, after preparing an adhesive composition for forming an adhesive layer, the composition is first coated on the substrate 11 or a predetermined separator to form an adhesive composition layer. Examples of the method for applying the adhesive composition include roll coating, screen coating, and gravure coating. Next, the adhesive composition layer is dried by heating and if necessary, and crosslinked if necessary. The heating temperature is, for example, 80 to 150℃and the heating time is, for example, 0.5 to 5 minutes. When the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 12 is formed on the separator, the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 12 with the separator is bonded to the substrate 11, and thereafter, the separator is peeled off. Thus, the dicing tape 10 having the laminated structure of the base material 11 and the adhesive layer 12 was produced.
In the production of the adhesive film 20 with the dicing tape X of the adhesive film, first, an adhesive composition for forming the adhesive film 20 is prepared, and then, the composition is applied to a predetermined separator to form an adhesive composition layer. Examples of the separator include polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film, polyethylene film, polypropylene film, and plastic film and paper surface-coated with a release agent such as a fluorine-based release agent or a long-chain alkyl acrylate-based release agent. Examples of the method for applying the adhesive composition include roll coating, screen coating, and gravure coating. Next, the adhesive composition layer is dried by heating and if necessary, and crosslinked if necessary. The heating temperature is, for example, 70 to 160℃and the heating time is, for example, 1 to 5 minutes. The adhesive film 20 can be produced with a separator in the manner described above.
In the production of the dicing tape X with the adhesive film, the adhesive film 20 with the separator is punched into a disc shape having a predetermined diameter, and then the adhesive film 20 is pressure-bonded to the adhesive layer 12 side of the dicing tape 10. The bonding temperature is, for example, 30 to 50℃and preferably 35 to 45 ℃. The bonding pressure (line pressure) is, for example, 0.1 to 20kgf/cm, preferably 1 to 10kgf/cm. Next, the dicing tape 10 bonded to the adhesive film 20 as described above is punched out into a disc shape having a predetermined diameter so that the center of the dicing tape 10 coincides with the center of the adhesive film 20.
In this way, the dicing tape X with the adhesive film can be produced. In the dicing tape X with an adhesive film, a separator (not shown) may be provided on the adhesive film 20 side so as to cover at least the adhesive film 20. The separator is a component for protecting the adhesive film 20 and the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 12 from being exposed, and is peeled from the adhesive film when the dicing tape X with the film is used.
Fig. 3 to 9 show an example of a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device using the dicing tape X with an adhesive film described above.
In the present method for manufacturing a semiconductor device, first, as shown in fig. 3 (a) and 3 (b), a modified region 30a is formed in a semiconductor wafer W. The semiconductor wafer W has a 1 st surface Wa and a 2 nd surface Wb. Various semiconductor devices (not shown) have been formed on the 1 st surface Wa side of the semiconductor wafer W, and wiring structures and the like (not shown) necessary for the semiconductor devices have been formed on the 1 st surface Wa. In this step, after the wafer processing tape T1 having the adhesive surface T1a is bonded to the 1 st surface Wa side of the semiconductor wafer W, the semiconductor wafer W is held on the wafer processing tape T1, and laser light in focus with the inside of the wafer is irradiated along the pre-dividing line from the side opposite to the wafer processing tape T1 to the semiconductor wafer W, whereby the modified region 30a is formed in the semiconductor wafer W by ablation due to multiphoton absorption. The modified region 30a is a weakened region for separating the semiconductor wafer W into semiconductor chip units. The method of forming the modified region 30a on the pre-cut line in the semiconductor wafer by laser irradiation is described in detail in, for example, japanese unexamined patent publication No. 2002-192370, and the laser irradiation conditions in the present embodiment can be appropriately adjusted within the following conditions, for example.
< laser irradiation conditions >
(A) Laser light
(B) Focusing lens
Multiplying power is 100 times or less
NA 0.55
Transmittance to laser wavelength is 100% or less
(C) The movement speed of the stage on which the semiconductor substrate is mounted is 280 mm/sec or less
Next, the semiconductor wafer W is thinned to a predetermined thickness by grinding from the 2 nd surface Wb while the semiconductor wafer W is held on the wafer processing tape T1, whereby, as shown in fig. 3 (c), a semiconductor wafer 30A capable of being singulated into a plurality of semiconductor chips 31 is formed (wafer thinning step). The grinding may be performed using a grinding apparatus having a grinding stone.
Next, as shown in fig. 4 (a), the semiconductor wafer 30A held by the wafer processing tape T1 is bonded to the dicing tape X of the adhesive film on the adhesive film 20 side. Thereafter, as shown in fig. 4 (b), the wafer processing tape T1 is peeled from the semiconductor wafer 30A.
Next, a ring frame 41 made of SUS, for example, is attached to the adhesive layer 12 around the adhesive film 20 in the dicing tape X with adhesive film, and then the dicing tape X with adhesive film with semiconductor wafer 30A is fixed to the holder 42 of the expanding device via the ring frame 41 as shown in fig. 5 (a).
Then, as shown in fig. 5 b, a 1 st expansion step (cold expansion step) is performed under a predetermined low temperature condition to singulate the semiconductor wafer 30A into a plurality of semiconductor chips 31, and the adhesive film 20 with the dicing tape X of the adhesive film is cut into small pieces of the adhesive film 21, thereby obtaining the semiconductor chips 31 with the adhesive film. In this step, the hollow cylindrical jack member 43 provided in the expanding device is brought into contact with the dicing tape 10 at the lower side in the drawing of the dicing tape X with the adhesive film, and is lifted up to expand the dicing tape 10 with the dicing tape X with the adhesive film attached thereto of the semiconductor wafer 30A so as to be stretched in two dimensions including the radial direction and the circumferential direction of the semiconductor wafer 30A. The expansion is performed under conditions such that a tensile stress of, for example, 15 to 32MPa is generated in the dicing tape 10. The temperature conditions in the cold expansion step are, for example, 0℃or lower, preferably-20 to-5℃and more preferably-15 to-5℃and still more preferably-15 ℃. The expansion speed (the speed at which the jack-up member 43 is raised) in the cold expansion step is, for example, 1 to 400 mm/sec. The expansion amount in the cold expansion step is, for example, 3 to 16mm. These conditions concerning expansion in the cold expansion step are also similar to those in the cold expansion step described later.
Through such a cold expansion step, the adhesive film 20 with the dicing tape X of the adhesive film is cut into small pieces of adhesive film 21, and the semiconductor chip 31 with the adhesive film is obtained. Specifically, in this step, cracks are formed in the fragile modified region 30A of the semiconductor wafer 30A, and singulation (dicing of the wafer and the adhesive film in the form of invisible dicing) into the semiconductor chips 31 occurs. At the same time, in the present step, in the adhesive film 20 that is in close contact with the adhesive layer 12 of the dicing tape 10 that is being expanded, the deformation is suppressed in each region where each semiconductor chip 31 of the semiconductor wafer 30A is in close contact, while such deformation suppressing action is not generated at a position opposite to the crack forming position of the wafer, and in this state, the tensile stress generated on the dicing tape 10 acts. As a result, the adhesive film 20 is cut at a position facing the crack formation position between the semiconductor chips 31. After this step, as shown in fig. 5 (c), the jack-up member 43 is lowered, and the expanded state in the dicing tape 10 is released.
Next, as shown in fig. 6 (a) and 6 (b), the 2 nd expansion step (normal temperature expansion step) is performed, and the distance between the semiconductor chips 31 with the adhesive film is increased. In this step, the stage 44 provided in the expanding device is raised to expand the dicing tape 10 of the dicing tape X with the adhesive film. The platen 44 is capable of applying a negative pressure to a workpiece on the platen surface to vacuum the workpiece. The temperature condition in the 2 nd expansion step is, for example, 10℃or higher, preferably 15 to 30 ℃. The expansion speed (the speed at which the stage 44 is raised) in the 2 nd expansion step is, for example, 0.1 to 10 mm/sec. The expansion amount in the 2 nd expansion step is, for example, 3 to 16mm. In this step, the dicing tape 10 is expanded (the separation distance of the semiconductor chips 31 with the adhesive film is thereby increased) by the elevation of the stage 44, and thereafter, the stage 44 vacuum-sucks the dicing tape 10. Then, while maintaining the suction by the stage 44, the stage 44 is lowered with the workpiece as shown in fig. 6 (c). In the present embodiment, the periphery of the semiconductor wafer 30A (the portion outside the holding region of the semiconductor chip 31) in the dicing tape X with the adhesive film is heated and shrunk in this state (heat shrinking step). Thereafter, the vacuum suction state by the stage 44 is released. The dicing tape X of the tape adhesive film is formed into the following state by the heat shrinkage process: in a state in which a predetermined degree of tension acts on the wafer bonding region stretched and temporarily relaxed in the 1 st and 2 nd expansion steps, the separation distance between the semiconductor chips 31 is fixed even after the vacuum suction state is released.
In the present semiconductor device manufacturing method, next, as shown in fig. 7, the adhesive layer 12 is advancedUltraviolet irradiation for promoting ultraviolet curing to reduce the adhesive force is performed (ultraviolet irradiation step). Specifically, the ultraviolet radiation R is applied to the entire adhesive layer 12 from the substrate 11 side of the dicing tape 10 using, for example, a high-pressure mercury lamp. The cumulative irradiation light quantity is, for example, 50 to 500mJ/cm 2 Preferably 100 to 300mJ/cm 2 . The region of the dicing tape X with an adhesive film to be irradiated with ultraviolet light, which is a measure for reducing the adhesive force of the adhesive layer 12, is, for example, a region D shown in fig. 1 excluding the edge portion of the adhesive film 20 bonding region in the adhesive layer 12.
In the present semiconductor device manufacturing method, after a cleaning step of cleaning the semiconductor chip 31 side of the dicing tape X with the adhesive film via a cleaning liquid such as water as needed, a pickup step is performed using a dicing bonding apparatus having both a pickup mechanism and an expanding mechanism.
Specifically, first, as shown in fig. 8 (a), in a state where dicing tape X with tape adhesive film of a plurality of semiconductor chips 31 and/or dicing tape 10 thereof is fixed to holder 45 of the die bonding apparatus via ring frame 41, hollow cylindrical jack member 46 provided in the apparatus is brought into contact with dicing tape 10 at the lower side in the drawing of dicing tape 10 and raised. Thereby, the dicing tape 10 is stretched in two dimensions including the radial and circumferential directions thereof (pre-pick expansion).
Next, as shown in fig. 8 (b), the semiconductor chips 31 with the adhesive film are picked up from the dicing tape 10. For example, the semiconductor chip 31 with the adhesive film to be picked up is lifted up by the pin member 47 of the pick-up mechanism at the lower side in the drawing of the dicing tape 10, and then is sucked and held by the suction jig 48 after being lifted up via the dicing tape 10. In this pickup, the lifting speed of the pin member 47 is, for example, 1 to 100 mm/sec, and the lifting amount of the pin member 47 is, for example, 50 to 3000 μm.
Next, as shown in fig. 9 (a), the picked-up semiconductor chip 31 with an adhesive film is temporarily fixed to a predetermined adherend 51 via the adhesive film 21. Examples of the adherend 51 include a lead frame, a TAB (tape automated bonding ) film, and a wiring board.
Next, as shown in fig. 9 b, an electrode pad (pad) (not shown) of the semiconductor chip 31 and a terminal portion (not shown) of the adherend 51 are electrically connected by a bonding wire 52 (wire bonding step). The electrode pad of the semiconductor chip 31, the terminal portion of the adherend 51, and the bonding wire 52 can be bonded by ultrasonic welding accompanied by heating so as not to thermally cure the adhesive film 21. As the bonding wire 52, for example, a gold wire, an aluminum wire, or a copper wire can be used. The wire heating temperature in wire bonding is, for example, 80 to 250 ℃. The heating time is several seconds to several minutes.
Next, as shown in fig. 9 c, the semiconductor chip 31 is sealed with a sealing resin 53 for protecting the semiconductor chip 31 and the bonding wire 52 on the adherend 51 (sealing step). In this step, the adhesive film 21 is thermally cured. In this step, the sealing resin 53 is formed by a transfer molding technique using a mold, for example. As a constituent material of the sealing resin 53, for example, an epoxy resin can be used. In this step, the heating temperature for forming the sealing resin 53 is, for example, 165 to 185 ℃, and the heating time is, for example, 60 seconds to several minutes. In the case where the curing of the sealing resin 53 is not sufficiently performed in the present step (sealing step), a post-curing step for completely curing the sealing resin 53 is performed after the present step. In the sealing step, even when the adhesive film 21 is not completely thermally cured, the adhesive film 21 may be completely thermally cured together with the sealing resin 53 in the post-curing step. In the post-curing step, the heating temperature is, for example, 165 to 185℃and the heating time is, for example, 0.5 to 8 hours.
The semiconductor device can be manufactured as described above.
In the present method for manufacturing a semiconductor device, instead of the above-described configuration in which the semiconductor wafer 30A is bonded to the dicing tape X with adhesive film, the semiconductor wafer 30B manufactured in the following manner may be bonded to the dicing tape X with adhesive film.
In the production of the semiconductor wafer 30B, first, as shown in fig. 10 (a) and 10 (B), the dividing grooves 30B are formed in the semiconductor wafer W (dividing groove forming step). The semiconductor wafer W has a 1 st surface Wa and a 2 nd surface Wb. Various semiconductor devices (not shown) have been formed on the 1 st surface Wa side of the semiconductor wafer W, and wiring structures and the like (not shown) necessary for the semiconductor devices have been formed on the 1 st surface Wa. In this step, after the wafer processing tape T2 having the adhesive surface T2a is bonded to the 2 nd surface Wb side of the semiconductor wafer W, the semiconductor wafer W is held on the wafer processing tape T1, and then a dicing groove 30b having a predetermined depth is formed in the 1 st surface Wa side of the semiconductor wafer W by using a rotary blade such as a dicing device. The dividing grooves 30b are voids for separating the semiconductor wafer W into semiconductor chip units (the dividing grooves 30b are schematically shown with thick lines in the drawing).
Next, as shown in fig. 10 (c), the wafer processing tape T3 having the adhesive surface T3a is bonded to the 1 st surface Wa side of the semiconductor wafer W, and the wafer processing tape T2 is peeled from the semiconductor wafer W.
Next, as shown in fig. 10 d, the semiconductor wafer W is thinned to a predetermined thickness by grinding from the 2 nd surface Wb while the semiconductor wafer W is held on the wafer processing tape T3 (wafer thinning step). Through this wafer thinning process, in the present embodiment, a semiconductor wafer 30B capable of being singulated into a plurality of semiconductor chips 31 is formed. Specifically, the semiconductor wafer 30B has a portion (connection portion) for connecting portions of the wafer that are to be singulated into the plurality of semiconductor chips 31 on the 2 nd side Wb. The thickness of the connection portion of the semiconductor wafer 30B, that is, the distance between the 2 nd surface Wb of the semiconductor wafer 30B and the 2 nd surface Wb side front end of the dividing groove 30B is, for example, 1 to 30 μm. The semiconductor wafer 30B manufactured in the above-described manner may be bonded to the dicing tape X with the adhesive film instead of the semiconductor wafer 30A, and the steps described above with reference to fig. 5 to 9 may be performed.
Fig. 11 a and 11B specifically show the 1 st expansion step (cold expansion step) performed after the semiconductor wafer 30B is bonded to the dicing tape X with adhesive film. In this step, the hollow cylindrical jack member 43 provided in the expanding device is brought into contact with the dicing tape 10 at the lower side in the drawing of the dicing tape X with the adhesive film, and is lifted up to expand the dicing tape 10 with the dicing tape X with the adhesive film attached thereto, which includes the semiconductor wafer 30B, so as to be stretched in two dimensions including the radial direction and the circumferential direction of the semiconductor wafer 30B. In such a cold expansion step, the semiconductor wafer 30B is cut at a portion which is thin in thickness and is easily broken, and the semiconductor chip 31 is singulated (the wafer cut by the half blade and the adhesive film are cut). At the same time, in the present step, in the adhesive film 20 adhered to the adhesive layer 12 of the dicing tape 10 to be expanded, deformation is suppressed in each region where the semiconductor chips 31 are adhered, and such deformation suppressing action is not generated at the position facing the dividing grooves between the semiconductor chips 31, and in this state, tensile stress generated on the dicing tape 10 acts. As a result, the adhesive film 20 is cut at a position facing the dividing groove between the semiconductor chips 31. The semiconductor chip 31 with an adhesive film thus obtained is subjected to a mounting step in the semiconductor device manufacturing process after the pick-up step described above with reference to fig. 8.
In the present semiconductor device manufacturing method, the wafer thinning process shown in fig. 12 may be performed instead of the wafer thinning process described above with reference to fig. 10 (d). After the above-described process with reference to fig. 10 (C), in the wafer thinning process shown in fig. 12, the wafer W is thinned to a predetermined thickness by grinding from the 2 nd surface Wb while being held on the wafer processing tape T3, and a semiconductor wafer divided body 30C (wafer in a form of being cut by a blade) including a plurality of semiconductor chips 31 is formed. In this step, a method (1 st method) of grinding the wafer until the dividing groove 30b itself is exposed on the 2 nd surface Wb side may be adopted, or the following method may be adopted: a method (method 2) of forming a semiconductor wafer segment 30C by grinding a wafer from the side of the 2 nd surface Wb until the wafer reaches the segment groove 30b, and then causing a crack between the segment groove 30b and the 2 nd surface Wb by the pressing force of the rotating grindstone to the wafer. The depth of the dividing groove 30b formed as described above with reference to fig. 10 (a) and 10 (b) from the 1 st surface Wa is suitably determined according to the method employed. In fig. 12, the dividing groove 30b through the 1 st method or the dividing groove 30b through the 2 nd method and the cracks connected thereto are schematically shown with thick lines. The semiconductor wafer divided bodies 30C thus manufactured may be bonded to the dicing tape X with the adhesive film instead of the semiconductor wafer 30A and the semiconductor wafer 30B, and then the steps described above with reference to fig. 5 to 9 may be performed.
Fig. 13 a and 13 b specifically show the 1 st expansion step (cold expansion step) performed after the semiconductor wafer separator 30C is bonded to the dicing tape X with adhesive film. In this step, the hollow cylindrical jack member 43 provided in the expanding device is brought into contact with the dicing tape 10 at the lower side in the drawing of the dicing tape X with the adhesive film, and is lifted up to expand the dicing tape 10 with the dicing tape X with the adhesive film bonded thereto, in which the semiconductor wafer separator 30C is stretched in two dimensions including the radial direction and the circumferential direction of the semiconductor wafer separator 30C. In the adhesive film 20 adhered to the adhesive layer 12 of the dicing tape 10 thus expanded, the deformation is suppressed in each region where the semiconductor chips 31 of the semiconductor wafer separator 30C are adhered, and on the other hand, such deformation suppressing action is not generated at the position facing the dividing grooves 30b between the semiconductor chips 31, and in this state, the tensile stress generated on the dicing tape 10 acts. As a result, the adhesive film 20 is cut at a position facing the dividing groove 30b between the semiconductor chips 31 (the wafer cut by the blade is cut from the adhesive film). The semiconductor chip 31 with an adhesive film thus obtained is subjected to a mounting step in the semiconductor device manufacturing process after the pick-up step described above with reference to fig. 8.
The dicing tape X with adhesive film has a ratio of the 1 st peel adhesion to the 2 nd peel adhesion of the 1 st peel adhesion of 300mJ/cm at a temperature of 22℃of 0.8 to 2, preferably 0.9 to 1.8, as described above 2 The 1 st peel adhesion between the adhesive layer 12 and the adhesive film 20 in the 1 st test piece irradiated with ultraviolet rays, as measured by the T-type peel test at 23℃and a peel speed of 300 mm/min, the 2 nd peel adhesion being 300mJ/cm at a temperature of 60 ℃ 2 The 2 nd peel adhesion between the adhesive layer 12 and the adhesive film 20 in the 2 nd test piece irradiated with ultraviolet rays was measured by a T-type peel test at 23 ℃ and a peel speed of 300 mm/min. When the temperature dependency of the decrease in the adhesive strength due to the ultraviolet irradiation is limited to the above-described range, the adhesive strength before the ultraviolet irradiation (adhesive strength before the UV irradiation) and the adhesive strength after the ultraviolet irradiation (adhesive strength after the UV irradiation) are balanced in the ultraviolet irradiation step actually accompanying the change in the environmental temperature, and therefore, it is easy to achieve both of the relatively high adhesive strength required for each expansion step for dicing the adhesive film 20 on the dicing tape 10 from the wafer and the relatively low adhesive strength required for the pickup step for picking up the semiconductor chip with the adhesive film from the dicing tape 10. The present inventors have obtained such findings. Specifically, examples and comparative examples described below are shown.
The composition having the above ratio of 2 or less, preferably 1.8 or less is suitable for securing a sufficiently strong UV-irradiation adhesive force in the adhesive layer 12, and not only the adhesive force obtained when subjected to UV irradiation in a normal temperature environment, but also the adhesive force obtained when subjected to UV irradiation in a high temperature environment of about 60 ℃ is practically used as a sufficiently weak UV-irradiation adhesive force required in the pickup step. In addition, the adhesive layer 12, in which the relatively high adhesive force required in the expanding process is sufficiently ensured, is suitable for suppressing the floating of the semiconductor chips 31 with the adhesive film on the dicing tape 10 from the dicing tape 10 during the period from the expanding process to the ultraviolet irradiation process.
As described above, the dicing tape X of the tape adhesive film is suitable for satisfactorily cutting the adhesive film 20 on the dicing tape 10 in the expanding process, and is suitable for achieving satisfactory pickup in the pickup process while suppressing the floating of the semiconductor chips 31 of the cut tape adhesive film from the dicing tape 10.
The 1 st peel adhesion of the dicing tape X of the tape adhesive film is preferably 0.03 to 0.15N/20mm. Such a configuration is preferable for limiting the post-UV irradiation adhesive force of the adhesive layer 12 in a practical range in consideration of a change in actual ambient temperature in the ultraviolet irradiation step.
In the dicing tape X with an adhesive film, the peel adhesion (3 rd peel adhesion) between the adhesive layer 12 and the adhesive film 20, as measured by the T-type peel test at 23℃and a peel speed of 300 mm/min, is preferably 1.5 to 4.5N/20mm as described above. Such a configuration is suitable for suppressing the semiconductor chips 31 with the adhesive film on the dicing tape 10 from floating from the dicing tape 10 during the period from the expanding step for dicing to the ultraviolet irradiation step. This configuration is suitable for practical use of the pre-UV-irradiation adhesive force of the adhesive layer 12 and limiting the post-UV-irradiation adhesive force in consideration of actual ambient temperature changes in the ultraviolet irradiation step to a practical range.
The peel adhesion (4 th peel adhesion) between the adhesive layer 12 and the adhesive film 20 in the dicing tape X with an adhesive film is preferably 0.5 to 2N/20mm as described above, as measured by the T-type peel test at-5 ℃ and a peel speed of 300 mm/min. Such a configuration is suitable for satisfactorily cutting the adhesive film 20 on the dicing tape 10 when the dicing tape using the tape adhesive film is subjected to an expanding step for cutting under a low temperature condition of, for example, 0 ℃. This configuration is suitable for practical use of the pre-UV-irradiation adhesive force of the adhesive layer 12 and limiting the post-UV-irradiation adhesive force in consideration of actual ambient temperature changes in the ultraviolet irradiation step to a practical range.
The storage modulus (tensile storage modulus) at 25℃of the adhesive film 20 in the dicing tape X with adhesive film is preferably 1 to 5GPa, more preferably 1.2 to 4GPa as described above. Such a configuration is preferable for ensuring the adhesion of the adhesive film 20 to the adhesive layer 12 at room temperature and a temperature range around the room temperature.
The storage modulus at-5℃of the adhesive film 20 in the dicing tape X with adhesive film is preferably 3 to 5GPa, more preferably 3.5 to 4.5GPa, as described above. Such a configuration is suitable for ensuring the severability of the adhesive film 20 under low temperature conditions of, for example, 0 ℃.
The dicing tape 10 in the dicing tape X with adhesive film preferably has a tensile stress at a strain value of 20% of 3 to 12MPa, more preferably 3.5 to 11.5MPa in a tensile test conducted on a dicing tape test piece having a width of 10mm at an initial inter-chuck distance of 100mm, -5 ℃ and a tensile speed of 300 mm/min as described above. Such a configuration is suitable for satisfactorily cutting the adhesive film 20 on the dicing tape 10 in the cutting and expanding process under low-temperature conditions.
