Description

本発明は、半導体素子の製造方法に関する。   The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a semiconductor element.

半導体素子の1つに半導体発光素子が有る。例えば、特許文献1では、フェイスアップ素子(FU素子)の様な、主に素子の半導体層側から光を取り出す素子について、基板の裏面側に反射層(機能膜)を形成する構成が提案されている。この様な半導体素子の構成に於いては、半導体発光素子ウエハの状態から個々の半導体発光素子への分離を容易とするために、該反射層を形成する前に、該裏面側に研削加工を施して、基板自体の厚みを所定の厚さまで薄くする工程を有することが一般的である。この様な研削加工を行う場合、所定の支持台へ該ウエハを仮固定する必要が有る。例えば、特許文献2では、少なくとも片面に熱剥離粘着剤層を有した両面粘着シートを、仮固定用の部材として利用することが提案されている。   One of the semiconductor elements is a semiconductor light emitting element. For example, Patent Document 1 proposes a configuration in which a reflective layer (functional film) is formed on the back side of a substrate for an element that extracts light mainly from the semiconductor layer side of the element, such as a face-up element (FU element). ing. In such a structure of the semiconductor element, in order to facilitate separation from the state of the semiconductor light emitting element wafer into individual semiconductor light emitting elements, the back surface side is ground before the reflective layer is formed. In general, the method includes a step of reducing the thickness of the substrate itself to a predetermined thickness. When performing such a grinding process, it is necessary to temporarily fix the wafer to a predetermined support base. For example, Patent Document 2 proposes that a double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet having a heat-peeling pressure-sensitive adhesive layer on at least one side is used as a temporary fixing member.

しかし乍ら、基板の裏面側に研削加工を施した後、該裏面側に反射層を形成するに充たっては、該裏面側に対して、ウェットエッチング等に拠る表面処理が必要な場合が有る。該研削加工用の支持台は、該研削加工に耐えるべく、所定の形状や大きさを有しており、該支持台に該ウエハを貼付した状態のまま、該表面処理を行う装置内へ収納することが、一般的には困難である。従って、該表面処理を実施する際には、該ウエハを該支持台から一旦剥がし、該表面処理工程に適した支持部材に対して再度仮固定する必要が有る。その際の仮固定用の部材として、特許文献2の様に熱剥離粘着剤層を有した両面粘着シートを利用することが考えられるが、該ウエハを該支持台から剥がして該支持部材に貼り替えるまでの間、該粘着シートの様な比較的柔らかい部材で該ウエハを保持することとなるため、その間に該ウエハが破損する虞が有る。   However, after the grinding process is performed on the back side of the substrate, a surface treatment based on wet etching or the like may be required on the back side in order to form a reflective layer on the back side. . The support table for grinding has a predetermined shape and size so as to withstand the grinding process, and is stored in the apparatus for performing the surface treatment with the wafer attached to the support table. It is generally difficult to do. Therefore, when carrying out the surface treatment, it is necessary to remove the wafer from the support table and temporarily fix it again to a support member suitable for the surface treatment step. As a temporary fixing member at that time, it is conceivable to use a double-sided pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet having a heat-release pressure-sensitive adhesive layer as in Patent Document 2, but the wafer is peeled off from the support and pasted on the support member. Until the wafer is replaced, the wafer is held by a relatively soft member such as the pressure-sensitive adhesive sheet, so that the wafer may be damaged during that time.

本発明に於いては、前述の様な懸念事項を解消可能とする、半導体素子の製造方法について提案する。   In the present invention, a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device is proposed, which makes it possible to eliminate the above-mentioned concerns.

And a removing step, wherein the first predetermined temperature is lower than the second predetermined temperature.

前述の半導体素子の製造方法に於いては、第1の所定の温度と第2の所定の温度との温度差が、20℃以上且つ110℃以下であることが望ましい。   In the semiconductor device manufacturing method described above, it is desirable that the temperature difference between the first predetermined temperature and the second predetermined temperature is 20 ° C. or higher and 110 ° C. or lower.

前述の半導体素子の製造方法に於いては、第2の熱剥離シートは、少なくとも半導体素子ウエハと向き合う面が、第2の所定の温度で剥離する面であることが望ましい。   In the semiconductor element manufacturing method described above, it is desirable that at least the surface facing the semiconductor element wafer of the second heat release sheet is a surface that peels at the second predetermined temperature.

前述の半導体素子の製造方法に於いては、表面処理工程の後、第2の除去工程に先駆けて、少なくとも基板の第1の面に機能膜を形成する、機能膜形成工程を更に有しても良い。   The above-described method for manufacturing a semiconductor device further includes a functional film forming step of forming a functional film on at least the first surface of the substrate after the surface treatment step and prior to the second removing step. Also good.

前述の半導体素子の製造方法に於いては、表面処理工程の後、第2の除去工程に先駆けて、少なくとも基板に改質部を形成する、改質部形成工程を更に有しても良い。   The above-described method for manufacturing a semiconductor device may further include a modified portion forming step of forming a modified portion on at least the substrate after the surface treatment step and prior to the second removing step.

前述の半導体素子の製造方法に於いては、第2の除去工程の後、第2の熱剥離シートを残した状態で、半導体素子ウエハを個々の半導体素子に分離する、分離工程を更に有しても良い。   The method for manufacturing a semiconductor device described above further includes a separation step of separating the semiconductor device wafer into individual semiconductor devices in a state where the second thermal separation sheet is left after the second removal step. May be.

本発明の半導体素子の製造方法に於いては、各支持部材を、熱剥離シートで仮固定しておき、工程の過程で各支持部材を段階的に逐次除去していく作業とすることで、各支持部材を貼り替える作業を廃止している。従って、半導体素子ウエハを、各工程に適した各支持部材へ貼り替える作業に起因する、半導体素子ウエハの破損を抑制することとなる。   In the method for manufacturing a semiconductor element of the present invention, each support member is temporarily fixed with a heat-peeling sheet, and each support member is removed step by step in the course of the process, Work to replace each support member is abolished. Therefore, damage to the semiconductor element wafer due to the operation of attaching the semiconductor element wafer to each support member suitable for each process is suppressed.

また、本発明の半導体素子の製造方法に於いては、第1の所定の温度と第2の所定の温度との温度差を、20℃以上且つ110℃以下とすることで、各支持部材を段階的に逐次除去することが確実に行えるとともに、半導体素子に対する熱の影響を抑制することとなる。   In the method for manufacturing a semiconductor device of the present invention, the temperature difference between the first predetermined temperature and the second predetermined temperature is 20 ° C. or more and 110 ° C. or less, so that each support member is The removal can be performed in a step-by-step manner, and the influence of heat on the semiconductor element can be suppressed.

また、本発明の半導体素子の製造方法に於いては、第2の熱剥離シートを、少なくとも半導体素子ウエハと向き合う面が、第2の所定の温度で剥離する面とすることで、半導体素子から熱剥離シートを除去する際、容易に除去することが可能となる。   In the method for manufacturing a semiconductor device of the present invention, the second thermal release sheet is formed from the semiconductor device by making at least the surface facing the semiconductor device wafer a surface to be peeled at the second predetermined temperature. When removing the thermal release sheet, it can be easily removed.

また、半導体素子の基板に機能膜を形成する場合は、その際に支持部材が有った方が望ましいため、表面処理工程に引き続いて機能膜形成工程を経て、その後、第2の除去工程を行う様にすれば、工程を必要以上に煩雑にすることなく設定可能となる。   In addition, when a functional film is formed on a substrate of a semiconductor element, it is desirable to have a support member at that time. Therefore, a functional film forming process is performed following the surface treatment process, and then a second removal process is performed. If this is done, the process can be set without making the process more complicated than necessary.

また、半導体素子ウエハの基板に分離用の改質部を形成する場合は、その際に支持部材が有った方が望ましいため、表面処理工程に引き続いて改質部形成工程を経て、その後、第2の除去工程を行う様にすれば、工程を必要以上に煩雑にすることなく設定可能となる。   Also, when forming a modified portion for separation on the substrate of the semiconductor element wafer, it is desirable to have a support member at that time, so after undergoing the modified portion forming step following the surface treatment step, If the second removal process is performed, the process can be set without making the process more complicated than necessary.

また、半導体素子ウエハの分離工程を有する場合は、通常、分離後の半導体素子の散逸を抑制するためにダイシングテープを利用するため、第2の熱剥離シートを残して、該ダイシングテープの代用としても良い。   In addition, when a semiconductor element wafer separation step is used, a dicing tape is usually used to suppress dissipation of the semiconductor element after separation, so that the second heat release sheet is left as an alternative to the dicing tape. Also good.

図3に示す様に、先ず、第1のワーク部材60を加熱器90の上に置き、第1の支持部材50を加熱器90に仮固定する。   As shown in FIG. 3, first, the first work member 60 is placed on the heater 90, and the first support member 50 is temporarily fixed to the heater 90.

次いで、加熱器90を用いて、第1の熱剥離シート40の熱剥離粘着剤42が第1の所定の温度となる様に、第1のワーク部材60の雰囲気温度を一定の温度まで昇温させ、数秒から数分間、加熱する。この実施例1に於いては、第1の所定の温度を120℃とし、該一定の温度での加熱時間を10秒としている。   Next, using the heater 90, the ambient temperature of the first work member 60 is raised to a certain temperature so that the heat-peeling adhesive 42 of the first heat-peeling sheet 40 has a first predetermined temperature. And heat for a few seconds to a few minutes. In the first embodiment, the first predetermined temperature is 120 ° C., and the heating time at the constant temperature is 10 seconds.

(表面処理工程S130)
次に、図4及び図9に表面処理工程S130について説明する。
(Surface treatment step S130)
Next, FIG.4 and FIG.9 demonstrates surface treatment process S130.

図4に示す様に、先ず、第2のワーク部材70をバスケット110の内部に収納する。このバスケット110はメッシュ状の部材から形成されており、その材質は、後述する溶液120によって変質及び溶解しない耐性を有していれば良く、特に限定されない。また、バスケット110の大きさは、第2のワーク部材70が収納可能な大きさであれば良い。   As shown in FIG. 4, first, the second work member 70 is accommodated in the basket 110. The basket 110 is formed from a mesh-like member, and the material thereof is not particularly limited as long as it has a resistance not to be altered or dissolved by the solution 120 described later. The size of the basket 110 may be any size as long as the second work member 70 can be accommodated.

次いで、第2のワーク部材70が収納されたバスケット110を、予め溶液120で満たされた容器100の内部へ挿入する。この容器100は、溶液120によって変質及び溶解しない耐性を有していれば良く、この実施例1では、外径が約90mm、高さが約120mmの円筒形を成す、ガラス製のビーカを使用している。バスケット110は前述した様にメッシュ状の部材から成るため、バスケット110の内部にも溶液120が浸入する。この様にして、第2のワーク部材70全体を、溶液120に浸漬させる。   Next, the basket 110 in which the second work member 70 is stored is inserted into the container 100 filled with the solution 120 in advance. The container 100 only needs to have a resistance not to be altered or dissolved by the solution 120. In Example 1, a glass beaker having a cylindrical shape with an outer diameter of about 90 mm and a height of about 120 mm is used. doing. Since the basket 110 is made of a mesh-shaped member as described above, the solution 120 also enters the inside of the basket 110. In this way, the entire second work member 70 is immersed in the solution 120.

次いで、攪拌装置130を用いて溶液120を攪拌させながら、第2のワーク部材70に於ける基板11の第1の面12の表面を改質若しくは洗浄する。   Next, the surface of the first surface 12 of the substrate 11 in the second work member 70 is modified or cleaned while stirring the solution 120 using the stirring device 130.

この表面処理はHACE(Heating Assisted Chemical Etching)処理と呼ばれるものであり、ウェットエッチングの一種である。このHACE処理は、特に、後述する様な、ALD(Atomic Layer Depsition:原子層堆積)装置を用いて、後述する機能膜140である反射防止膜を基板11に形成する場合、基板11に対する機能膜140の密着性を向上させる前処理として有用である。なお、HACE処理に於ける溶液120はTMAH(水酸化テトラメチルアンモニウム)の濃度が22%の水溶液であり、60℃に加熱して使用している。また、溶液120に第2のワーク部材70を浸漬する時間は、60分間としている。   This surface treatment is called HACE (Heating Assisted Chemical Etching) treatment and is a kind of wet etching. This HACE process is particularly effective when an antireflection film, which will be described later, is formed on the substrate 11 using an ALD (Atomic Layer Deposition) apparatus as will be described later. This is useful as a pretreatment to improve the adhesion of 140. The solution 120 in the HACE treatment is an aqueous solution having a TMAH (tetramethylammonium hydroxide) concentration of 22%, and is heated to 60 ° C. for use. The time for immersing the second work member 70 in the solution 120 is 60 minutes.

表面処理が終了したら、バスケット110毎、第2のワーク部材70を容器100から取り出し、第2のワーク部材70に付着した溶液120や、該表面処理で発生した残渣等を除去する洗浄を行う。   When the surface treatment is completed, the second work member 70 is taken out of the container 100 for each basket 110, and cleaning is performed to remove the solution 120 adhering to the second work member 70, residues generated in the surface treatment, and the like.

(機能膜形成工程S140)
次に、図5及び図9に機能膜形成工程S140について説明する。
(Functional film forming step S140)
Next, the functional film formation step S140 will be described with reference to FIGS.

図5に示す様に、先ず、第2のワーク部材70をALD装置の支持台150に仮固定する。   As shown in FIG. 5, first, the second work member 70 is temporarily fixed to the support base 150 of the ALD apparatus.

次いで、ALD装置を用いて、第2のワーク部材70に於ける基板11の第1の面12の表面に機能膜140を形成する。この機能膜140は、例えばアルミナ(Al2O3)の様な、アルミニウムを含有する金属材料から成る反射防止膜である。なお、ALD装置を用いて機能膜140を形成する場合、機能膜140の材料の回り込み性が優れることから、図5に示す様に、半導体発光素子ウエハ10の側面部にも機能膜140が形成される。仮に、半導体発光素子ウエハ10のみをALD装置内に置いて機能膜140を形成した場合、半導体素子層15の表面まで機能膜140の材料が回り込んで堆積する可能性が懸念されるところ、第2のワーク部材70では、半導体素子層15の表面の全面を被覆する様に第2の熱剥離シート20が貼り付けられているため、半導体素子層15の表面に機能膜140の材料が回り込んで堆積することが抑制される。   Next, the functional film 140 is formed on the surface of the first surface 12 of the substrate 11 in the second work member 70 using an ALD apparatus. The functional film 140 is an antireflection film made of a metal material containing aluminum, such as alumina (Al 2 O 3). Note that when the functional film 140 is formed using an ALD apparatus, since the material of the functional film 140 is excellent in wraparound, the functional film 140 is also formed on the side surface of the semiconductor light emitting element wafer 10 as shown in FIG. Is done. If the functional film 140 is formed by placing only the semiconductor light emitting element wafer 10 in the ALD apparatus, there is a concern that the material of the functional film 140 may reach the surface of the semiconductor element layer 15 and be deposited. In the second work member 70, the second thermal release sheet 20 is attached so as to cover the entire surface of the semiconductor element layer 15, so that the material of the functional film 140 wraps around the surface of the semiconductor element layer 15. It is suppressed that it accumulates by.

機能膜140が形成されたら、ALD装置の支持台150から第2のワーク部材70を取り外す。   When the functional film 140 is formed, the second work member 70 is removed from the support base 150 of the ALD apparatus.

次いで、基板11の内部に向かって、レーザ光を照射し、基板11の内部に改質部14を形成する。この改質部14は、後述する分離工程S170に於いて、半導体発光素子ウエハ10を個々の半導体発光素子へ分離する際、分離を容易とするために、各半導体発光素子の境界となる部分に形成される。この改質によって、改質部14は、基板11の他の部位よりも機械強度的に脆弱化される。   Next, laser light is irradiated toward the inside of the substrate 11 to form the modified portion 14 inside the substrate 11. In the separation step S170, which will be described later, the modifying unit 14 is provided at a portion that becomes a boundary between the semiconductor light emitting elements in order to facilitate separation when the semiconductor light emitting element wafer 10 is separated into individual semiconductor light emitting elements. It is formed. By this modification, the modified portion 14 is weakened in mechanical strength as compared with other parts of the substrate 11.

基板11の内部に改質部14が形成されたら、レーザ照射装置の支持台160から第2のワーク部材70を取り外す。   When the modified portion 14 is formed inside the substrate 11, the second work member 70 is removed from the support base 160 of the laser irradiation apparatus.

And heat for a few seconds to a few minutes. In Example 1, the second predetermined temperature is 150 ° C., and the heating time at the constant temperature is 10 seconds. The temperature difference between the first predetermined temperature and the second predetermined temperature is preferably set to 20 ° C. or higher and 110 ° C. or lower. In consideration of the influence of the thermal history on the semiconductor element, it is more desirable that the temperature difference is 25 ° C. or more and 40 ° C. or less. In the first embodiment, the temperature difference is 30 ° C. The upper limit of the second predetermined temperature is preferably less than 250 ° C., and more preferably less than 200 ° C.

次いで、第2の所定の温度による加熱により、第2の熱剥離シート20の熱剥離粘着剤22の粘着力が弱まったところで、第2の熱剥離シート20より上方側に積層されている半導体発光素子ウエハ10を、第2のワーク部材70から取り外す。即ち、第2のワーク部材70から、第2の支持部材30と第2の熱剥離シート20とを除去する。   Next, when the adhesive force of the heat-peeling adhesive 22 of the second heat-peeling sheet 20 is weakened by heating at a second predetermined temperature, the semiconductor light emitting layered above the second heat-peeling sheet 20 is laminated. The element wafer 10 is removed from the second work member 70. That is, the second support member 30 and the second heat release sheet 20 are removed from the second work member 70.
