Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device, and more particularly, to a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device capable of preventing wafer warpage.
Double Die Package (DDP), Quad Die Package (QDP), System In Package (SIP), Pakcage On Package (POP), Through Si Via (TSV), etc. The following thin thickness wafers are required.
To satisfy this thin thickness, the initial warpage of the wafer must be minimized before backgrinding the wafer. For example, to maintain the initial warpage of the wafer at about -150 μm or less, during chucking error and exposure processes due to excessive compressive stress in the previous process during the final warpage targeting of the wafer. This results in defocusing problems.
In recent years, as the diameter of the wafer (D) is gradually increased to 100 mm, 200 mm, and 300 mm in order to reduce the process cost, the wafer warpage increases exponentially due to the stress of the thin film deposited on the wafer front. do. Since the wafer warpage is proportional to the square of the diameter D of the wafer (D 2 ) (see Equation 1 to be described later), a 300 mm wafer compared to a 200 mm wafer is about two times larger.
Therefore, as the diameter of the wafer increases, the problem of defocusing on the exposure process or chucking error on the deposition process becomes more serious due to the wafer warpage. The chucking error is an error that slips down when the wafer on which the thin film is to be deposited is placed on a chuck such as an electrostatic chuck.
In this regard, conventionally, the wafer warpage is controlled by controlling the stress of the thin film stacked on the front surface of the wafer, but it is not easy to secure the final warpage during the process.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device capable of preventing wafer defocusing and chucking errors in a process while ensuring desired wafer warping characteristics during backside polishing.
The semiconductor device manufacturing method of the present invention for achieving the above object comprises the steps of preparing a wafer formed with a front thin film and a rear thin film; Forming a dummy film on the front thin film; And removing the backside thin film, wherein the dummy film comprises a film having a tensile stress.
In addition, the semiconductor device manufacturing method of the present invention comprises the steps of preparing a wafer on which the front thin film and the rear thin film; And removing the rear thin film, wherein the removing the rear thin film is characterized by using reactive ion etching (RIE) or single side cleaning.
In addition, the semiconductor device manufacturing method of the present invention comprises the steps of preparing a wafer on which the front thin film and the rear thin film; Removing the rear thin film; And polishing the back side of the wafer, wherein removing the back side thin film may predict wafer warpage using the physical information of the back side thin film, and at the step of causing the predicted wafer warpage, It is characterized by removing. The physical information includes the stress, thickness, Poisson's ratio and Young's modulus of the backside film.
The present invention described above prevents the defocusing of the exposure process and the chucking error of the deposition process by removing the back film by removing the back film by using dry etching or single side cleaning or by forming a dummy film on the front surface of the wafer. It can work. Also,

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, in order to facilitate a person skilled in the art to easily carry out the technical idea of the present invention. do.
The present invention provides a method of dry etching or wet etching a thin film deposited on a wafer backside by Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) during a semiconductor device manufacturing process in an appropriate step. In this way, it is possible to maintain final warpage of the wafer and chip after backside polishing, and to prevent defocusing of the exposure process and chucking errors of the deposition process.
In addition, by identifying the types of thin films deposited on the back surface of the wafer and calculating the expected warpage, it is possible to provide appropriate information on which process step the back side thin film should be removed.

As shown in FIG. 2A, various thin films are formed on the front and backsides of the

A dummy layer is formed to alleviate warpage of the wafer.

The
As shown in FIG. 2C, the backside thin film is removed. Wet etching is used to remove the back film. Wet etch includes a wet dip.
When applying the wet dip, an etchant corresponding to the remaining films on the back surface of the
First, the
Next, the
After the wet dip is completed, all of the nitride film is removed from the wafer backside. Most of the
When the wet dip is completed as described above, the wafer warpage is relaxed. For example, the wafer warpage H3 is about -50 mu m. Compared with the initial wafer warpage H1 of FIG. 2A, the wafer warpage is significantly reduced.
The back film is mostly made of polysilicon and low pressure nitride (LP Nitride) and has a tensile warpage of ˜160 μm with a thickness of 7000 μm.
It is known that the wafer warpage can be obtained by Equation 1.
,
Where h 0 is the warpage of the wafer, ν is the Poiison ratio, E is the Young's Modulus, t f is the thickness of the thin film, t s is the thickness of the wafer, D is the diameter of the wafer, and σ f is It shows the stress of the thin film.
The Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio are unique values already known according to the deposition and heat treatment of the thin film. When a large number of layers consisting of a single thin film are stacked on the wafer, the wafer warpage can be predicted by Equation (1).
K = 1.656 × 10 7 [dyne / cm 2 ]
The intrinsic stress of LP Nitride is about 1.1 × 10 10 [dyne / cm 2 ], and the intrinsic stress of polysilicon (after thermal cycle) is about 1 × 10 9 [dyne / cm 2 ]. The total thickness of the low pressure nitride film is about 2000 mm 3, and the total thickness of polysilicon is about ˜5,000 mm 3.
The total wafer warpage is calculated using the parameters. The wafer warpage by the low-pressure nitride film is about 133 mu m and the wafer warpage by polysilicon is about 30 mu m. Therefore, the total wafer warpage is 163 mu m.
3 is a view comparing the warpage of the wafer before and after removing the back film.
Referring to Fig. 3, the horizontal axis is the warp before removing the rear thin film, and the vertical axis is the warp after removing the rear thin film.
The wafer warpage obtained by Equation 1 is almost the same as the wafer warpage actually measured as shown in FIG. 3. Therefore, when the physical information (thickness, Poisson's ratio, stress, Young's modulus) of the backside thin film is obtained, the wafer warpage may be predicted by the backside thin film.
On the other hand, the wafer warpage after deposition of the interlayer dielectric film reaches about -200 mu m. By removing the rear thin film, the stress on the front surface of the wafer approaches 0 mu m. This ensures sufficient margin for chucking errors or defocusing in subsequent processes. Meanwhile, the factor that determines the warpage of the wafer and the chip after polishing the back side is due to the stress between the front thin film deposited on the front surface of the wafer and the wafer, regardless of the presence or absence of the rear thin film. As shown in FIG. 3, the warpage of the wafer about -160 μm in the presence of the back side thin film coincides with about 0 μm after the back side thin film removal. Therefore, when applying the first embodiment, the warpage of the wafer and the chip after the backside polishing has the same value as the backside thin film removal.
Another method of removing the backside thin film may be a Single Cleaning or Reactive Ion Etch (RIE) method.
Considering that the main materials causing the tensile warpage are nitride film and polysilicon, when wet dip is performed after the interlayer dielectric film deposition, the chucking error or defocusing problem as shown in FIG. Occurs when deviation is made.
In the first embodiment, the dummy film is formed to relax the tensile stress. In the second embodiment, the back film is removed immediately without forming the dummy film to relax the tensile stress, thereby preventing the warping of the wafer.
In the second embodiment, after the interlayer insulating layer is formed, the backside thin film is removed by dry etching or single cleaning. Accordingly, since the tensile stress on the back surface of the wafer is relaxed, improved wafer warping for each step as shown in FIG. 1 is obtained.
4A and 4B are diagrams illustrating a method of preventing warping of a wafer according to a second embodiment of the present invention. Hereinafter, for convenience of description, the wafer is turned over and described.
As shown in FIG. 4A, various thin films are formed on the front and backsides of the
Subsequently, an
As described above, since the rear thin film formed on the rear surface of the
As shown in FIG. 4B, the backside thin
First, dry etching includes reactive ion etching (RIE).
Reactive ion etching is performed for about 30 minutes based on CF 4 gas. This makes it possible to cleanly remove the
Next, when applying Single Cleaning, an etchant corresponding to each component of the rear thin film should be used. For example, nitric acid (HNO 3 ) is used to remove the
