Description
본 발명은 반도체 웨이퍼(wafer)의 이면연마(back grinding) 공정전, 웨이퍼의 앞면 보호를 위한 보호필림을 부착시키는 기술에 관한 것으로써, 더욱 상세하게는 롤러와 커터에 의한 손상을 동시에 방지하도록 스핀 코팅(spin coating) 방식으로 보호필림 같은 역할을 생성시키는 웨이퍼 보호용 보호필림 부착방법 및 장치에 관한 것이다.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a technique for attaching a protective film for protecting the front surface of a wafer before a back grinding process of a semiconductor wafer, and more particularly, spins to prevent damage caused by a roller and a cutter at the same time. The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for attaching a protective film for protecting a wafer, which creates a protective film-like role by a spin coating method.
일반적으로, 반도체 웨이퍼 제조공정에서 칩(chip)화하기 이전에 웨이퍼의 두께 축소 및 웨이퍼 뒷면의 이물 제거를 위해 이면연마를 하게 되는데, 이때 전처리 작업으로 웨이퍼 앞면의 회로패턴을 보호하기 위하여 보호필림을 웨이퍼 앞면에 접착시키는 라미네이팅(laminating) 작업이 실시된다.In general, back grinding is performed to reduce the thickness of the wafer and remove foreign substances on the back side of the wafer before chipping in the semiconductor wafer manufacturing process. A laminating operation is performed to bond the wafer front side.
도 1을 참조로, 상술한 라미네이팅 작업을 설명하면 다음과 같다.Referring to Figure 1, the above-described laminating operation will be described.
웨이퍼(W)의 상면이 상방을 향하도록 척 테이블(chuck table)(2)에 안착된 상태에서 보호필림(4)을 웨이퍼(W)의 상면으로 진행시키고, 롤러(roller)(6)를 이용하여 보호필림(4)을 압착시킴으로써, 웨이퍼(W)의 상면에 보호필림(4)이 부착되도록 하며, 부착이 완료된 보호필림(4)은 직선 이동용과 회전용 커터(cutter)(8)에 의해 웨이퍼(W)의 플랫존(flat zone)과 가장자리에 맞도록 웨이퍼(W)의 모양대로 커팅되게 된다.The protective film 4 is advanced to the upper surface of the wafer W while the upper surface of the wafer W is seated on the chuck table 2 so that the upper surface of the wafer W faces upward, and the roller 6 is used. By pressing the protective film 4, the protective film 4 is attached to the upper surface of the wafer (W), the protective film 4 is completed by the linear movement and the rotating cutter (8) The wafer W is cut in the shape of the wafer W so as to conform to the flat zone and the edge of the wafer W.
그러나, 이러한 라미네이팅 작업이 진행되는 과정에서 보호필림(4)과 웨이퍼(W)의 상면 사이에 접착력이 증대되도록 롤러(6)를 가압하며, 이는 웨이퍼(W)에 손상을 줄 수 있는 원인이 되며, 특히 보호필림(4) 아래에 파티클(particle) 존재시 가압되는 롤러(6)로 인한 웨이퍼(W) 깨짐(broken)이 발생될 수 있다.However, during the laminating process, the roller 6 is pressed to increase the adhesive force between the protective film 4 and the upper surface of the wafer W, which may cause damage to the wafer W. In particular, a crack in the wafer W may occur due to the roller 6 being pressed in the presence of particles under the protective film 4.
그리고, 상태가 양호하지 않은 커터(8)의 사용시 웨이퍼(W)의 에지(edge)부가 칼날에 의해 손상을 받게 되어 이후 진행되는 이면연마 공정에서 웨이퍼(W)에 크랙(crack)이 발생되게 되며, 특히 커터(8)에 의한 웨이퍼(W) 칩핑(chipping)의 문제도 간헐적으로 발생된다.In addition, when the cutter 8 is in poor condition, the edge portion of the wafer W is damaged by the blade, and cracks are generated in the wafer W in the subsequent back polishing process. In particular, the problem of chipping the wafer W by the cutter 8 also occurs intermittently.
나아가, 원활한 작업을 위해서는 롤러(6)의 정렬(align) 상태 및 커터(8) 칼날의 예리함(sharpness) 정도의 관리가 매우 중요하므로, 그 관리에 많은 노력이 소요되고 있는 실정이다.Furthermore, since the management of the alignment state of the roller 6 and the degree of sharpness of the cutter 8 is very important for smooth operation, much effort is required for the management.

본 발명의 상기 목적과 여러가지 장점은 이 기술분야에 숙련된 사람들에 의해 첨부된 도면을 참조하여 아래에 기술되는 발명의 바람직한 실시예로부터 더욱 명확하게 될 것이다.The above objects and various advantages of the present invention will become more apparent from the preferred embodiments of the invention described below with reference to the accompanying drawings by those skilled in the art.
이하, 첨부된 도면을 참조로 본 발명의 바람직한 실시예를 상세히 설명하기로 한다.Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
도 2는 본 발명의 바람직한 실시예에 따른 웨이퍼 보호용 보호필림 부착장치를 개략적으로 나타낸다.Figure 2 schematically shows a protective film attachment device for a wafer protection according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
본 발명에 따르면, 액체상태의 필림액을 웨이퍼(W)상에 도포하여 고형화되도록 함으로써 보호필림을 생성시키게 되며, 필림막의 엄격한 두께 조절 및 균일한 코팅을 위해 스핀 코팅(spin coating) 방식의 부착장치가 이용된다.According to the present invention, by applying the liquid film in the liquid state on the wafer (W) to solidify to produce a protective film, spin coating (spin coating) attachment device for strict thickness control and uniform coating of the film Is used.
상기 부착장치는 도시된 바와 같이, 상부가 개방된 보울(bowl)(60) 내부에 웨이퍼(W)가 놓여지는 웨이퍼 척(wafer chuck)(20)과, 웨이퍼 척(20)의 하부에 체결되고 보울(60) 하면을 관통하여 회전 가능하게 구비된 회전축(30)과, 회전축(30)의 다른 일단에 연결되어 웨이퍼 척(20)상에 놓여진 웨이퍼(W)를 회전시키기 위해 구동되는 구동부(40)와, 웨이퍼 척(20)으로부터 이격된 상부에 수직방향으로 상하로 이동 가능하게 위치하여 필림액을 공급하는 필림액 디스펜스 노즐(dispense nozzle)(50)을 포함한다.The attachment device is fastened to a wafer chuck 20 and a lower portion of the wafer chuck 20 in which the wafer W is placed inside a bowl 60 having an open top as shown. The driving unit 40 is driven to rotate the wafer 30 placed on the wafer chuck 20 connected to the other end of the rotary shaft 30 and the rotary shaft 30 rotatably provided through the bowl 60. And a film liquid dispensing nozzle 50 which is positioned so as to be movable upward and downward in the vertical direction on the upper part spaced apart from the wafer chuck 20 to supply the film liquid.
보울(60)은 상부가 개방된 용기형상으로, 상단이 웨이퍼 척(20)보다 높게 위치되어 필림액 코팅시 필림액이 외부로 튀는 것을 방지하는 형상을 갖으며, 그 하면을 관통하여 누출된 필림액을 배출하기 위한 배출구(70)가 적어도 하나 이상 구비된다.Bowl 60 is an open top of the container shape, the top is positioned higher than the wafer chuck 20 has a shape that prevents the film liquid from splashing to the outside when the film coating liquid coating, leaked through the lower surface of the film At least one outlet 70 for discharging the liquid is provided.
이러한 구성을 갖는 스핀 코팅 방식의 보호필림 부착장치의 작동을 간단히 설명하면, 보울(60)내의 웨이퍼 척(20)상에 웨이퍼(W)가 놓여져 고정되면, 전원이 인가됨으로써 회전되는 구동부(40)와 연동하여 회전축(30)이 회전되고, 이에 따라 웨이퍼 척(20)상에 고정된 웨이퍼(W)도 회전된다.When the operation of the spin coating protective film attaching device having such a configuration is briefly described, when the wafer W is placed and fixed on the wafer chuck 20 in the bowl 60, the driving unit 40 is rotated by applying power. In conjunction with the rotating shaft 30 is rotated, and thus the wafer (W) fixed on the wafer chuck 20 is also rotated.
이후, 웨이퍼(W)의 회전속도가 증가하여 일정해지면, 필림액 디스펜스 노즐(50)이 하방으로 이동하고, 필림액 디스펜스 노즐(50)을 통해 소정량의 필림액이 웨이퍼(W)상에 공급된다. 이때, 웨이퍼(W)는 일정속도로 고속 회전하고 있으므로 원심력에 의해 필림액이 웨이퍼(W)상에 균일하게 퍼져 코팅된다.Thereafter, when the rotational speed of the wafer W increases and becomes constant, the film liquid dispense nozzle 50 moves downward, and a predetermined amount of film liquid is supplied onto the wafer W through the film liquid dispense nozzle 50. do. At this time, since the wafer W rotates at a high speed at a constant speed, the film liquid is uniformly spread on the wafer W by the centrifugal force and coated.
또한, 원심력에 의해 웨이퍼(W)로부터 흩어져 누출된 필림액은 보울(60) 하부의 배출구(70)를 통해 배출된다.In addition, the film liquid scattered from the wafer W by the centrifugal force is discharged through the outlet 70 under the bowl 60.
여기서, 필림액이 웨이퍼(W)에 코팅되면, 필림액은 자체적으로 급속히 고형화되어 보호필림을 생성하며, 한편 필림액 디스펜스 노즐(50)은 상방으로 이동하고, 웨이퍼 척(20)의 회전이 정지되면, 보호필림이 생성된 웨이퍼(W)는 다음 공정으로 이송되게 된다.Here, when the film liquid is coated on the wafer W, the film liquid solidifies itself rapidly to produce a protective film, while the film liquid dispense nozzle 50 moves upward, and the rotation of the wafer chuck 20 is stopped. When the protective film is generated, the wafer W is transferred to the next process.
이상, 상기 내용은 본 발명의 바람직한 일 실시예를 단지 예시한 것으로 본 발명의 당업자는 본 발명의 요지를 변경시킴이 없이 본 발명에 대한 수정과 변경을 가할 수 있음을 인지해야 한다.In the foregoing description, it should be understood that those skilled in the art can make modifications and changes to the present invention without changing the gist of the present invention as merely illustrative of a preferred embodiment of the present invention.
본 발명에 따르면, 롤러와 커터에 의한 손상으로부터 자유로워져 웨이퍼의 생산수율이 크게 향상되는 효과가 달성될 수 있다.According to the present invention, the effect of freeing the damage caused by the rollers and the cutters and greatly improving the production yield of the wafer can be achieved.
