Abstract

PURPOSE:To execute a marking operation without a crack and to enhance the handling property of a GaAs single-crystal wafer by a method wherein a dielectric layer is formed on the rear of the GaAs single-crystal wafer as a wafer for marking use and the marking operation is executed to the surface of the dielectric layer. CONSTITUTION:A dielectric layer 4 is formed on the rear of a GaAs single- crystal wafer 1. The surface of the dielectric layer 4 is irradiated with a laser 3; the laser is moved so as to match a marking character. Thereby, an engraving 2 is engraved. Since a part marked by using the laser is the dielectric layer, it is possible to prevent a crack when the wafer is handled, the wafer can be handled easily and the part can be discriminated surely. As the dielectric layer formed on the rear of the wafer, SiO2, SiN or SiON is desirable; the layer can be formed easily by using a plasma CVD apparatus. The thickness of the dielectric layer is preferably 10mum or lower although it depends on the condition of a laser marking operation.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, when a substrate supply maker delivers a wafer to a customer, the identification is performed by marking each tray containing the wafer. Recently, in order to further ensure the identification of the wafer, there is a demand for identification not only by the wafer tray but also by directly marking the back surface of the wafer. In this case, laser marking is generally often used as a method for marking a GaAs wafer. In this method, a laser is irradiated according to the characters to be directly marked on the back surface of the wafer, and the laser is moved to perform marking.

However, in this conventional marking method, since the laser is directly applied to the back surface of the wafer to carry out marking, there is a defect that cracks are generated from the marked portion depending on the handling, and the marking is easy to break. And the handling of the wafer had to be more careful than the unmarked one.
