Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for producing solid state elements according to the subject of claim 1 and to a solid produced by this method (claim 9).
- wafers In many technical fields (e.g., microelectronics or photovoltaic technology), materials such as e.g. Silicon, germanium or sapphire, often used in the form of thin discs and plates (so-called wafers). By default, such wafers are currently produced by sawing from an ingot, resulting in relatively large material losses (“kerf-loss"). Since the starting material used is often very expensive, there are strong efforts to produce such wafers with less material and thus more efficient and cost-effective.
- kerf-loss material losses
- kerf-free wafering are methods that do without conventional sawing and, for example. by using temperature-induced voltages can directly split thin wafers from a thicker workpiece. These include, in particular, methods such as e.g. in PCT / US2008 / 012140 and PCT / EP2009 / 067539, where a polymer layer applied to the workpiece is used to generate these stresses.
- the polymer layer has in the mentioned method a compared to the workpiece by about two orders of magnitude higher thermal expansion coefficient.
- a relatively high modulus of elasticity in the polymer layer can be achieved, so that sufficiently high voltages can be induced in the layer system polymer layer workpiece by cooling in order to enable the removal of wafers from the workpiece.
- the wafers produced usually each have larger variations in thickness, wherein the spatial thickness distribution often shows a pattern with fourfold symmetry.
- the regions of greatest variability unfortunately lie in the middle of the wafer where they are most disturbing.
- DE 196 40 594 A1 discloses a process for separating semiconductor materials by means of light-induced interfacial decomposition and devices produced therewith, such as structured and freestanding semiconductor layers and components.
- the method according to DE 196 40 594 A1 includes the illumination of Interfaces between substrate and semiconductor layer or between semiconductor layers, whereby the light absorption at the interface or in an intended absorption layer for material decomposition leads.
- the selection of the interface or semiconductor layer, which is brought to decomposition, takes place by the choice of the wavelength of light and light intensity, the direction of irradiation or the incorporation of a thin sacrificial layer during material production.
- This method has the disadvantage that high energy doses must be used to destroy entire layers, whereby the energy requirements and thus the cost of the process are very high.
- the above object is achieved by a method for producing solid state elements, in particular carrier elements for receiving electrically conductive components.
- the method according to the invention preferably comprises at least the steps of providing a solid, in particular a thick wafer, for cleaving off at least one solid layer, in particular a thin wafer, the generation of a first group of defects by means of a laser for defining a first release plane, along which the solid layer is separated from the solid, the generation of a second group of defects by means of the laser for specifying at least a second release plane, wherein the first release plane and the second release plane are mutually orthogonal, the detachment of the solid layer from the solid along the first release plane due to generation of Tensions in the solid and the sharing of the solid state layer along the second release plane for separating the solid state elements.
- At least one third group of defects for specifying at least one, and preferably several, third release planes is generated by means of the laser, wherein the and preferably every third release plane is aligned orthogonal to the first release plane and orthogonal to the second or to a second release plane is, wherein the solid state layer for separating the solid state elements along the second Ablössebene and along the third Ablöseebene be separated from each other.
- a plurality of third Abletteebenen be generated which, in conjunction with several second Abletteebenen form a preferably lattice-shaped pattern, which delimits the individual solid state elements that form the solid or form with each other.
- This embodiment is advantageous because the lattice-shaped pattern represents a lattice-shaped desired fracture parts, along which the plurality of individual solid state elements can be separated from each other in a simple and defined manner.
- the stresses for detaching the solid-state layer are generated by the solid body by the thermal loading of at least one receiving layer arranged on the solid, in particular a polymer layer, in accordance with a further preferred embodiment of the present invention.
- the ⁇ thermal exposure preferably is a cooling of the recording layer or polymer layer is at or below ambient temperature and preferably below 10 ° C and particularly preferably below 0 ° C, and more preferably below -10 e C.
- the cooling of the polymer layer is most preferably in such a way in that at least part of the polymer layer, which preferably consists of PDMS, undergoes a glass transition.
- the cooling may in this case be a cooling to below -100 ° C, which can be effected, for example, by means of liquid nitrogen.
- This embodiment is advantageous because the polymer layer contracts as a function of the temperature change and / or experiences a gas transfer and transfers the resulting forces to the solid, whereby mechanical stresses can be generated in the solid, which trigger a crack and / or crack propagation lead, wherein the crack propagates first along the first release plane for splitting off the solid layer.
- the polymer layer in particular PDMS, is cooled in a defined manner in accordance with a further preferred embodiment of the present invention for generating the stresses, wherein the stresses in the solid can be generated in such a way that the Crack initiation and / or crack propagation to produce a predetermined surface finish of the surface resulting in the crack plane is controllable.
- This embodiment is advantageous because, due to the influenceable or controllable crack profile, regions in which the crack typically exhibits a rather heterogeneous surface, ie with a high thickness variation, can be reduced or can be displaced, for example, to the edge of the solid, that the total number the usable solid elements is increased.
- the polymer layer is subjected to a change of shape in a first direction and / or in a second direction, wherein a change in shape in the first direction causes a detachment of solid-state elements from one another along the second release plane and a Shape change in the second direction causes a detachment of solid state elements from each other along the third release plane.
- This embodiment is advantageous since the polymer layer already arranged or adhering to the separated solid layer serves not only to separate the solid layer from the solid and to take up the separated solid layer, but also to separate the solid elements. This therefore represents a significant simplification of the process and a significant acceleration of the process, as a result of which the individual solid state elements can be produced much more cheaply and more quickly.
- the polymer layer can thus preferably be changed in shape in various ways, thereby providing high process flexibility.
- the polymer layer is pulled in one or more directions, pressed and / or bent. Additionally or alternatively, however, it is also conceivable that the polymer layer is tempered so that it expands.
- the solid preferably comprises a material or a combination of materials from one of the main groups 3, 4 and 5 of the Periodic Table of the Elements, such as Si, SiC, SiGe, Ge, GaAs, InP, GaN, Al 2 O 3 (sapphire), AlN. Particularly preferably, the solid has a combination of elements occurring in the third and fifth group of the periodic table.
- Conceivable materials or material combinations are eg Gallium arsenide, silicon, silicon carbide, etc.
- the solid may have a ceramic (eg Al 2 O 3 - Alumiumoxid) or consist of a ceramic, preferred ceramics are eg Perovskitkeramiken (such as Pb-, O-, Ti / Zr-containing ceramics) in General and lead magnesium niobates, barium titanate, lithium titanate, yttrium aluminum garnet, especially yttrium aluminum garnet crystals for solid state laser applications, surface acoustic wave (SAW) ceramics such as lithium niobate, gallium orthophosphate, quartz, calcium titanate, etc. special.
- the solid body thus preferably has a semiconductor material or a ceramic material or particularly preferably the solid body consists of at least one semiconductor material or a ceramic material.
- the solid body has a transparent material or partially made of a transparent material, such as sapphire, or is made.
- Further materials which may be used as solid material alone or in combination with another material include "wide band gap" materials, InAISb, high temperature superconductors, in particular rare earth cuprates (eg YBa2Cu307).
- the first group of defects and the second group of defects are generated in accordance with a further embodiment of the present invention prior to peeling the solid layer from the solid in the solid.
- This embodiment is advantageous because the separated solid layer, then does not have to be treated again with a laser, but can be further processed directly or the solid state elements can be separated.
- the second group, and preferably the third group of defects are produced in accordance with a further preferred embodiment of the present invention after the solid-state layer has been detached from the solid.
- This embodiment is advantageous because there is no risk of influencing the crack guidance for separating the solid state layer by the defects of the second and / or third group.
- the invention further relates to a solid-state element or carrier element for receiving electrical components, which is produced by a method according to one of claims 1 to 8.

- the wavelengths 30, 32 are in this case matched to one another or the distance between the radiation source 18 and the release plane 8 to be generated is tuned such that the waves 30, 32 substantially or exactly coincide on the release plane 8 in the solid 2, whereby at the location of the coincidence 34 due to the energies of both waves 30 , 32 a defect is generated.
- the defect can be produced by different or combined decomposition mechanisms such as sublimation or chemical reaction, wherein the decomposition can be initiated eg thermally and / or photochemically.
- FIG. 2b shows a focused light beam 6 whose focal point lies preferably in the first release plane 8 (or second release plane 50, third release plane 52 cf. FIGS. 3a and 3b) to be generated. It is conceivable here that the light beam 6 is focused by one or more focusing bodies, in particular lens / s (not shown).
- the solid body 2 is formed in this embodiment, multi-layered and preferably has a partially transparent or transparent substrate layer 3 or material layer, which preferably consists of sapphire or has sapphire.
- the light beams 6 pass through the substrate layer 3 e.g.
- the first release plane 8 which is preferably formed by a sacrificial layer 5, wherein the sacrificial layer 5 is acted upon by the radiation such that thermally and / or photochemically a partial or complete destruction of the sacrificial layer 5 in the focal point or in the region of Focus is effected. It is likewise conceivable that the defects for producing a release layer or the first release layer 8 are produced in the region or precisely on an interface between two layers 3, 4.
- the solid state layer 4 is produced on a carrier layer, in particular a substrate layer 3, and by means of one or more sacrificial layers 5 and / or by the production of defects in an interface, in particular between the solid state layer 4 and the carrier layer, a Ablöseebene 8 for detaching or separating the solid state layer 4 can be generated.
- a plan view of a solid 2 is shown schematically in the upper part of the picture and in the lower part of the image is a side view, in particular a sectional view shown.
- the solid 2 is provided in this illustration with straight lines, which limit the individual juxtaposed solid state elements 40, in particular support elements, such as computer chips or solar cells.
- the lines can describe here purely by way of example and for explanatory purposes the outer shape of the solid state elements 40, wherein they need not or not necessarily be present or present in a real solid 2.
- the solid body 2 in plan view, another outer shape, in particular with straight portions, have.
- a multiplicity of defects 34 can be seen in each case from the plan view and the side view.
- the defects 34 can, as shown for example in the plan view, be evenly distributed or increased in certain areas or reduced generated.
- a high concentration of defects 34 compared to a low concentration of defects 34 allows a defined crack initiation and / or a simpler detachment of the solid-state layer 4 in the respective region.
- an increased concentration of defects 34 is provided in the region of a point of the solid 2 at which a crack is to be triggered.
- defects 34 are preferably given in an increased concentration to direct crack propagation.
- an increased concentration of defects 34 relative to other regions of the first release layer 8 is generated. It can be seen from the side view that the release plane 8 is preferably formed by defects 34 generated in a plane.
- the plan view of FIG. 4 shows, in addition to the defects 34 which form the first release layer 8, further defects produced in second release planes 50, which are illustrated by dashed lines and extend in the Z-direction. Furthermore, dashed lines oriented in the X direction are shown, which also represent defects and lie in third release planes 52.
- the first release plane 8 is therefore preferably in the X-Z plane
- the second release plane 50 is preferably in the Y-Z plane
- the third release plane 52 is preferably in the x-Y plane.
- the side view or sectional view of FIG. 4 reveals that the defects, i. E.
- FIG. 5a shows a plan view according to which the defects 34 for generating the second release plane / n 50 have already been produced. However, the defects 34 for forming the third release plane / n 52 are not yet generated. It is thus conceivable that the defects for generating the second and third detachment levels / n 50, 52 are generated simultaneously, with a time delay or completely one after the other. Furthermore, it can be seen from the side view or sectional illustration that the defects for generating the second release plane / n 50 can be generated at different distances to a surface extending in the XZ plane. It can be seen from FIG. 5b that the defects for producing the first release layer 50 and the second release layer 52 in their entirety can also be generated with the same distance to a surface extending in the XZ plane.
- FIG. 6 shows an embodiment according to which the solid state layer 4 is arranged on the polymer layer 10. It is conceivable here that the defects for producing the second release layer 50 and the third release layer 52 are already produced in the solid state layer 4. Furthermore, it is alternatively conceivable that the defects for generating the second release layer 50 and the third release layer 52 are generated only after the removal of the solid state layer 4 from the solid state 2 in the solid state layer 4.
- FIG. 7a shows an arrangement according to which the solid state layer 4 is arranged on the polymer layer 10 or the solid state layer 4 is connected to the polymer layer 10, in particular adhesively.
- the polymer layer 10 is deflected in a first direction 60 and / or in a second direction 62 and / or bent around at least one axis.
- the deflection of the polymer layer 10 can be effected by thermal effects and / or external application of force, in particular stretching, compression and / or bending.
- the individual solid-state elements 40 are detached in the region or along the second release plane 50 and / or the third release plane 52.
- the detachment preferably corresponds to an interruption or departure of the individual Solid state elements 40 from each other.
