Description

晶圆结构
【技术领域】
本案关于一种晶圆结构，尤指以半导体制程制出适用于喷墨打印的喷墨芯片的晶圆结构。
【背景技术】
目前市面上常见的打印机除激光打印机外，喷墨打印机是另一种被广泛使用的机种，其具有价格低廉、操作容易以及低噪音等优点，且可打印于如纸张、相片纸等多种喷墨媒体。而喷墨打印机的打印品质主要取决于墨水匣的设计等因素，尤其以喷墨芯片释出墨滴至喷墨媒体的设计为墨水匣设计的重要考量因素。
又在喷墨芯片在追求更高的高解析度与更高速打印的打印品质要求下，对于竞争激烈的喷墨打印市场中，喷墨打印机的售价下降得很快速，因此搭配墨水匣的喷墨芯片的制造成本以及更高解析度与更高速打印的设计成本就会取决于市场竞争力的关键因素。
但，以目前喷墨打印市场中所生产喷墨芯片是由一晶圆结构以半导体制程所制出，现阶段喷墨芯片生产皆以6吋以下晶圆结构所制出，又要同时追求更高的高解析度与更高速打印的打印品质要求下，相对喷墨芯片的可打印范围(printing swath)的设计要变更大、更长，始可大幅提高打印速度，如此喷墨芯片所需求整体面积就更大，因此要在6吋以下有限面积的晶圆结构上制出需求喷墨芯片数量就会相当地受到限制，进而制造成本也无法有效地降低。
举例说明，例如，一片6吋以下晶圆结构制出喷墨芯片的可打印范围(printingswath)为0.56英吋(inch)大概至多切割生成334颗喷墨芯片。若在一片6吋以下晶圆结构上生成喷墨芯片的可打印范围(printing swath)超过1英吋(inch)或者页宽可打印范围(printing swath)A4尺寸(8.3英吋(inch))来制出更高的高解析度与更高速打印的打印品质要求下，相对要在6吋以下有限面积的晶圆结构上制出需求喷墨芯片数量就会相当的受到限制，数量更少，在6吋以下有限面积的晶圆结构上制出需求喷墨芯片就会有浪费剩余的空白面积，这些空白面积就会占去整片晶圆面积的空余率超过20％以上，相当浪费，进而制造成本也无法有效地降低。
有鉴于此，要如何符合喷墨打印市场中追求喷墨芯片的更低制造成本，以及追求更高解析度与更高速打印的打印品质，是本案最主要研发的主要课题。
【发明内容】
本案的主要目的是提供一种晶圆结构，包含一芯片基板及多个喷墨芯片，利用至少12英吋以上晶圆的半导体制程来制出该芯片基板，促使该芯片基板上可布置更多需求数量的喷墨芯片，布置需求更高解析度及更高性能的打印喷墨设计，用来因应不同的喷墨范围，所以需要不同尺寸的喷墨芯片，以切割成需求实施应用于喷墨芯片，降低芯片对于喷墨芯片的限制，并且能够减少芯片上未使用的区域，提升芯片的利用率，降低空余率，降低制造成本，同时得以追求更高解析度与更高速打印的打印品质。
本案的一广义实施态样为提供一种晶圆结构，包含：一芯片基板，为一硅基材，以至少12英吋以上晶圆的半导体制程制出；至少一个喷墨芯片，以半导体制程制直接生成于该芯片基板上，并切割成至少一个喷墨芯片实施应用于喷墨打印；其中，该喷墨芯片包含：多个墨滴产生器，以半导体制程制出生成于该芯片基板上，而该喷墨芯片配置成沿纵向延伸相邻个该墨滴产生器保持一间距的多个纵向轴列组，以及配置成沿水平延伸相邻个该墨滴产生器保持一中心阶差间距的多个水平轴行组，该中心阶差间距为至少1/600英吋(inch)以下。

请参阅图1及图2所示，本案提供一种晶圆结构2，包含：一芯片基板20及多个喷墨芯片21。其中芯片基板20为一硅基材，以至少12英吋(inch)以上晶圆的半导体制程制出。在具体实施例中，芯片基板20可以利用12英吋(inch)晶圆的半导体制程制出；或者，在另一具体实施例中，芯片基板20可以利用16英吋(inch)晶圆的半导体制程制出。
上述的多个喷墨芯片21分别包含：多个墨滴产生器22，以半导体制程制出生成于芯片基板20上，并切割成至少一喷墨芯片21实施应用于喷墨打印。又如图2所示，每一墨滴产生器22包含一热障层221、一加热电阻层222、一导电层223、一保护层224、一障壁层225、一供墨腔室226及一喷孔227。其中热障层221形成于芯片基板20上，加热电阻层222形成于热障层221上，而导电层223及保护层224的一部分形成于加热电阻层222上，且保护层224的其他部分形成于导电层223上，而障壁层225形成于保护层224上，以及供墨腔室226及喷孔227一体成型生成于障壁层225中，且供墨腔室226底部连通保护层224，供墨腔室226顶部连通喷孔227。亦即喷墨芯片21的墨滴产生器22是在芯片基板20上实施半导体制程所制出，以下予以说明。首先在芯片基板20上形成一层热障层221的薄膜，之后再以溅镀方式先后镀上加热电阻层222与导电层223，并以光刻蚀刻的制程厘定所需尺寸，之后再以溅镀装置或化学气相沉积(CVD)装置镀上保护层224，再以保护层224上以干膜压模成型出供墨腔室226，再涂布一层干膜压模成型喷孔227，构成障壁层225一体成形于保护层224上，如此供墨腔室226及喷孔227一体成型生成于障壁层225中，或者，在另一具体实施例上，是在保护层224上以高分子膜直接以光刻蚀刻制程定义出供墨腔室226及喷孔227，如此供墨腔室226及喷孔227一体成型生成于障壁层225中，因此供墨腔室226底部连通保护层224，顶部连通喷孔227。其中芯片基板20为硅基材(SiO2)，加热电阻层222为铝化钽(TaAl)材料，导电层223为铝(Al)材料，保护层224由在下层的第一层保护层224A堆叠上层的第二层保护层224B所构成，第一层保护层224A为氮化硅(Si3N4)材料，第一层保护层224A为碳化硅(SiC)材料，障壁层225可以为一种高分子材料。
当然，上述喷墨芯片21的墨滴产生器22在芯片基板20上实施半导体制程所制出，在以光刻蚀刻的制程厘定所需尺寸过程中，如图3A至图3B所示进一步定义出至少一供墨流道23及多个岐流道24，再以保护层224上以干膜压模成型出供墨腔室226，再涂布一层干膜压模成型喷孔227，如此构成如图2所示障壁层225一体成形于保护层224上，且供墨腔室226及喷孔227一体成型生成于障壁层225中，供墨腔室226底部连通保护层224，供墨腔室226顶部连通喷孔227，喷孔227如图3D所示直接裸露于喷墨芯片21表面构成需求的排列布置，因此供墨流道23及岐流道24也是同时以半导体制程制出，其中供墨流道23可以提供一墨水，而供墨流道23连通多个岐流道24，且多个岐流道24连通每个墨滴产生器22的供墨腔室226。又如图3B所示加热电阻层222成形裸露于供墨腔室226中，加热电阻层222为具有一长度HL及一宽度HW所构成一矩形面积。
又请参阅图3A及图3C所示，供墨流道23为至少1个至6个。图3A所示单一喷墨芯片21的供墨流道23为1个，可以提供单色墨水，此单色墨水可以分别青色(C：Cyan)、洋红色(M：Megenta)、黄色(Y：Yellow)、黑色(K：Black)墨水。如图3C所示单一喷墨芯片21的供墨流道23为6个，分别提供黑色(K：Black)、青色(C：Cyan)、洋红色(M：Megenta)、黄色(Y：Yellow)、浅青色(LC：Light Cyan)和淡洋红色(LM：Light Megenta)六色墨水。当然，在另外实施例中，单一喷墨芯片21的供墨流道23也可为4个，分别提供青色(C：Cyan)、洋红色(M：Megenta)、黄色(Y：Yellow)、黑色(K：Black)四色墨水。供墨流道23数量可依实际需求设计来布置。
