Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of semiconductor processing, in particular to a wafer and a wafer thinning process processing technology thereof.
Background
With the update and iteration of semiconductor power devices, silicon Carbide (SiC) materials, which are represented by the third generation of semiconductors, are increasingly being widely used in the field of power devices due to their wide forbidden band, high electron mobility and high thermal conductivity. In the field of power device fabrication, a wafer backside process is often performed. However, the conventional back side process of the monolithic wafer often has a certain influence on the front side of the wafer, so that the wafer needs to be bonded before the back side process, thereby protecting the front side of the wafer.
The traditional silicon carbide wafer thinning process adopts a mode of adding a UV film or a thermal induction film to the wafer for single-chip thinning. By adopting the mode, the silicon carbide wafer is subjected to larger warping due to the generation of internal stress after thinning. Therefore, a back side process method of wafer bonding thinning is developed. In the conventional wafer temporary bonding thinning process, the bonding adhesive layer is thinned due to the existence of the thinning pressing stress, so that deviation of the thinning thickness is finally caused, and the stability of the manufacturing process is affected.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to provide a wafer and a wafer thinning process thereof, which are used for solving the problems that in the traditional wafer temporary bonding thinning process, bonding adhesive layers are thinned due to the existence of thinning pressing stress, and finally the thinning thickness is deviated, so that the stability of the process is affected.
The technical scheme for solving the technical problems is as follows:
the invention provides a wafer thinning process processing technology, which comprises the following steps:
performing a trimming process on the wafer;
carrying out laser grooving on the slide glass, and forming a deep groove on the front surface of the slide glass;
coating bonding glue on the wafer and washing edges;
performing a temporary bonding process on the wafer and the carrier;
carrying out first thinning treatment on the wafer;
the wafer and the slide glass after thinning are subjected to a de-bonding process;
carrying out bonding adhesive coating and edge washing on the thinned wafer;
performing a temporary bonding process on the thinned wafer and the slide glass;
and carrying out second thinning treatment on the thinned wafer.
Further, in the wafer thinning process, the wafer is trimmed in a multiple step manner, and the total trimming depth is greater than or equal to the total thinning depth.
Further, in the wafer thinning process, the wafer is subjected to a first thinning treatment, and the thinning thickness is 85-95% of the total thinning thickness.
Further, in the wafer thinning process, the first thinning treatment is performed by adopting a multi-process mode, and the steps include:
performing primary thinning on the wafer, wherein the primary thinning thickness is 80-85% of the primary thinning thickness;
thinning the wafer again, wherein the thickness of the thinned wafer is 15-20% of that of the first thinning;
and polishing the wafer.
Further, in the wafer thinning process, the wafer is subjected to a low temperature annealing treatment between the first thinning treatment and the debonding treatment.
Further, in the wafer thinning process, the temperature of the low-temperature annealing treatment is lower than the melting temperature of the bonding glue.
Further, in the wafer thinning process, the wafer is subjected to a second thinning treatment, and the thinning thickness is 5-15% of the total thinning thickness.
Further, in the wafer thinning process, the second thinning treatment is performed by adopting a multi-process mode, and the steps include:
carrying out primary thinning on the wafer, wherein the primary thinning thickness is 80-85% of the secondary thinning thickness;
thinning the wafer again, wherein the thickness of the re-thinned wafer is 15-20% of that of the second thinning;
and polishing the wafer.
Further, in the wafer thinning process, the wafer is cleaned between the debonding process and the edge cleaning process.
The invention also provides a wafer prepared by the wafer thinning process.

3. In the single thinning process, the thinning process is divided into a plurality of times by adopting a mode of combining multiple bonding and thinning, so that the time of each thinning process is effectively reduced. In addition, after each thinning, the influence of thinning of the bonding adhesive layer is reduced by adopting a bonding-removing and bonding-cleaning mode, so that the influence of severe thinning of the bonding adhesive layer on the repeatability of the manufacturing process is prevented.
4. According to the wafer thinning process provided by the invention, the wafer is trimmed for multiple times, so that the breaking risk in the trimming process due to the fact that the hardness of the wafer is high is reduced; and processing the edge of the wafer into a step shape, so that the risk of breaking the wafer in the subsequent thinning process is reduced.
5. The wafer thinning process provided by the invention is used for carrying out low-temperature annealing on the bonding sheet, so that the internal stress generated in the bonding sheet due to the first thinning is eliminated.
6.
