ダイシングしていた。As shown in FIG. 3, when the semiconductor wafer 3 is completely cut using the conventional technique, the semiconductor wafer is placed on the main surface of the stage 5 having the cooling vibro through the wafer sheet 7 attached to the flat ring 4. The semiconductor wafer 3 was successively diced with the diamond blade 1 while jetting cooling water from the jet nozzle 2 near the diamond blade 1, which was fixed by vacuum suction into the vacuum suction groove 8 of the diamond blade 1 and corresponded to the cutting part.

レード1の寿命を短かくするという欠点があった。In the conventional dicing apparatus and dicing method described above, when performing so-called complete cutting in which the diamond blade l cuts through the semiconductor wafer 3 to the wafer sheet 7, the wafer sheet 7 generally contains a polymeric material such as vinyl chloride or polyethylene. It was used. Here, the frictional heat generated in the diamond blade 1 is removed by water emitted from the jet nozzle 2 and a cooling vibro of a cooling mechanism provided on the stage 5. However, since the wafer sheet 7 is made of a polymer material, its thermal conductivity is about 10 W/cm°C, which is about one-tenth of the several W/cm°C of general metals. For this reason, a sufficient cooling effect could not be obtained. Furthermore, when the diamond blade 1 cuts into the wafer sheet 7, the wafer sheet 7 acts as a heat insulating material.
There was a drawback that heat was not dissipated and the life of the diamond blade 1 was significantly shortened due to this frictional heat.
本発明の目的は、前記欠点が解決され、熱の放散が良好

徴とする。The configuration of the present invention includes a stage on which a semiconductor wafer is placed on the main surface and has a cooling mechanism, a diamond blade provided above the stage, and a water supply device provided above the stage. In the semiconductor wafer dicing apparatus, a metal body having a recess into which the semiconductor wafer and water enter is provided on the main surface of the stage.

In the figure, the dicing apparatus of this embodiment has a metal body 11 having a concave portion placed on the main surface of a stage 5, and is fixed by vacuum suction using vacuum suction grooves 8 provided on the main surface of the stage 5. is done.

ある。Next, from the water supply pipe 9, there is a metal body 11 that carries water over the recess.
In the cooling vibro provided on the stage 5, using, for example, chlorofluorocarbon gas, the liquid is instantly frozen to become ice lO. The semiconductor wafer 3 is placed on the main surface of the ice 10, and the thermal energy of the semiconductor wafer 3 on the surface adhering to the ice 10 melts the instantaneous ice 1'O and freezes it again. The wafer 3 is completely fixed. This fixed semiconductor wafer 3 is passed through a spout nozzle 2 provided nearby using a diamond blade l.
Dice while applying cooling water. At this time,
The material of the metal body 11 having the recessed portion may be any metal that is easy to process, such as stainless steel or aluminum. Further, the thickness of the ice 10 is sufficient if the amount of water supplied from the water supply pipe 9 is kept constant and the thickness is about 20 to 50 μm.

な特徴とする。The method of fixing a semiconductor wafer to a dicing apparatus according to this embodiment is to fill the concave portion of the metal body 11 provided on the stage 5 with water from the water supply pipe 9 of the water supply device, and then to use the cooling mechanism provided on the stage 5. The main feature is that the material is frozen using a cooling device 16 and then diced using a diamond blade 1.

施例と異なる主な点である。FIG. 2 is a sectional view of a semiconductor wafer dicing apparatus according to a second embodiment of the present invention. In the figure, the main difference between the dicing apparatus of this embodiment and the first embodiment is that there is no ejection nozzle 2.
従来、半導体ウェハ3のダイシングは、噴出ノズルより

銅やタングステンなどを用いる。Conventionally, when dicing the semiconductor wafer 3, cooling water was constantly jetted from a jet nozzle to cool the dicing blade 1, but by using the apparatus of this embodiment, cooling the dicing blade 1 is no longer necessary. This is because the semiconductor wafer 3 itself has cooled down to a temperature at which water instantly freezes. In this embodiment, since this freezing must be instantaneous, the material of the metal body 11 having the recessed portion is not only easy to process but also has a high thermal conductivity, such as copper or tungsten.

を用いれば、簡単に除去できる等多くの利点を有する。In this embodiment, since it is not necessary to apply cooling water to the diamond blade 1, a large amount of water can be saved, and the wastewater equipment can be simplified. Moreover, since no water is used during dicing
The chips produced during dicing are also in the form of powder, and have many advantages, such as being easily removed using compressed air or the like.
