Description
本發明係關於一種不傷及在晶圓的正面側形成的元件而進行加工的晶圓加工方法，以及一種用於該晶圓加工的輔助器具。The present invention relates to a wafer processing method for processing without damaging components formed on the front side of a wafer, and an auxiliary device for the wafer processing.
由分割預定線劃分並在表面形成IC、LSI、MEMS（Micro Electro Mechanical Systems，微機電系統）、LED等元件的晶圓，是藉由切割裝置、雷射加工裝置分割為各個元件，並被利用於行動電話、電腦等的電子設備。Wafers that are divided by predetermined division lines and formed with IC, LSI, MEMS (Micro Electro Mechanical Systems), and LEDs on the surface are divided into individual components by a cutting device and a laser processing device and used. Electronic equipment for mobile phones, computers, etc.
雷射加工裝置大致由下述構成：卡盤台，吸引保持工件；雷射光線照射手段，照射對在該卡盤台保持的工件具有穿透性的波長的雷射光線；攝像手段，檢測應加工區域；以及加工進給手段，相對於該卡盤台與該雷射光線照射手段進行加工進給；並能夠將聚光點定位在分割預定線的內部並沿著分割預定線形成改質層，將晶圓分割為各個元件（例如參閱專利文獻1）。The laser processing device is roughly composed of: a chuck table that attracts and holds a workpiece; a laser light irradiation means that irradiates laser light having a wavelength penetrating to the workpiece held by the chuck table; an imaging method that detects A processing area; and a processing feed means for processing feed relative to the chuck table and the laser light irradiation means; and capable of positioning a focusing point inside a predetermined division line and forming a modified layer along the predetermined division line The wafer is divided into individual elements (for example, refer to Patent Document 1).
根據上述專利文獻1記載的技術，能沿著晶圓的分割預定線形成改質層，將該晶圓分割為各個元件。但是，在晶圓的正面側，層積有多個機能層，存在難以從形成分割預定線的晶圓的正面側將雷射光線的聚光點定位在內部的情況。此種情況，成為從晶圓的背面側將雷射光線的聚光點定位在分割預定線的內部並在晶圓的內部形成改質層。 [習知技術文獻] [專利文獻]According to the technique described in Patent Document 1, a modified layer can be formed along a predetermined division line of a wafer, and the wafer can be divided into individual elements. However, a plurality of functional layers are stacked on the front side of the wafer, and it may be difficult to locate the light condensing point of the laser light from the front side of the wafer forming the division line. In this case, the light-condensing point of the laser light is positioned inside the predetermined division line from the back side of the wafer, and a modified layer is formed inside the wafer. [Habitual technical literature] [patent literature]
[專利文獻1]日本特許3408805號公報[Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent No. 3408805
[發明所欲解決的課題] 如同上述，在難以從晶圓的正面將雷射光線的聚光點定位在內部的情況，藉由從晶圓的背面側將雷射光線的聚光點定位在分割預定線的內部並在晶圓的內部形成改質層，能將晶圓分割為各個元件。但是，若直接以卡盤台吸引保持晶圓的正面側，則藉由與卡盤台的吸附卡盤的接觸恐傷及在晶圓的正面側形成的元件。另外，不傷及元件的方式，雖亦考慮在晶圓的正面側黏貼保護膠帶並在卡盤台進行保持並加工的方法，惟在晶圓的正面側黏貼保護膠帶並實施分割步驟後，從正面側剝離該保護膠帶時，構成保護膠帶的黏著層的一部份附著於元件無法取下，而在之後的步驟中會發生加工不良等，導致品質下降。進而，在MEMS晶圓中因各元件以細微的構造體所形成，因此在剝離保護膠帶時產生損傷該元件的問題。[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] As described above, in a case where it is difficult to locate the light condensing point of the laser light from the front side of the wafer, the light condensing point of the laser light is positioned at the rear side of the wafer. Dividing the inside of a predetermined line and forming a modified layer inside the wafer can divide the wafer into individual elements. However, if the front side of the wafer is directly held and held by the chuck table, contact with the chuck of the chuck table may cause damage to the components formed on the front side of the wafer. In addition, without damaging the components, although a method of attaching a protective tape to the front side of the wafer and holding and processing it on the chuck table is also considered, after the protective tape is attached to the front side of the wafer and the dividing step is performed, When the protective tape is peeled off on the front side, a part of the adhesive layer constituting the protective tape is attached to the element and cannot be removed, and processing defects and the like occur in the subsequent steps, resulting in quality degradation. Furthermore, in the MEMS wafer, since each element is formed in a fine structure, there is a problem that the element is damaged when the protective tape is peeled off.
本發明為鑒於上述事實之發明，其主要技術課題為，提供一種不傷及元件的表面且不損傷由細微的構造體形成的元件，且能夠從晶圓的背面將雷射光線的聚光點定位在晶圓的內部並形成改質層的晶圓加工方法，以及一種用於晶圓加工的輔助器具。The present invention is an invention in view of the above-mentioned facts, and its main technical problem is to provide a device that does not damage the surface of an element and does not damage an element formed of a fine structure, and can condense a laser beam from the back of a wafer A wafer processing method positioned inside a wafer and forming a modified layer, and an auxiliary device for wafer processing.

（輔助器具準備步驟） 圖1（a）表示基於本發明的晶圓加工方法的輔助器具準備步驟中所準備的輔助器具100的全體立體圖，而圖1（b）表示圖1（a）的A-A剖面圖。輔助器具100，例如，由具有晶圓的直徑+10mm程度的直徑的Si（矽）所構成，具備第一開口部120，其容納與後述工件的晶圓的外徑大致同形狀的晶圓。另外，在第一開口部120的底部，以形成元件的面向下來容納晶圓的情況下，具備：支撐部122，避免與形成有元件的元件區域的接觸並支撐未形成元件的外周剩餘區域；以及第二開口部130，形成於第一開口部120的底部的支撐部122的內側區域；且在第二開口部130的底部形成底壁132。上述輔助器具100，例如，能用如以下程序製造。(Auxiliary Device Preparation Step) FIG. 1 (a) shows the entire perspective view of the auxiliary device 100 prepared in the auxiliary device preparation step according to the wafer processing method of the present invention, and FIG. 1 (b) shows AA of FIG. 1 (a) Sectional view. The auxiliary device 100 is made of, for example, Si (silicon) having a diameter of about +10 mm of the wafer, and includes a first opening 120 for accommodating a wafer having a shape substantially the same as the outer diameter of a wafer of a workpiece described later. In addition, in the case where the wafer is accommodated in the bottom portion of the first opening 120 with the formed element facing downward, the support portion 122 is provided to prevent contact with the element formed region and support the remaining peripheral region of the unformed element; And the second opening portion 130 is formed in a region inside the support portion 122 at the bottom of the first opening portion 120; and a bottom wall 132 is formed at the bottom of the second opening portion 130. The auxiliary device 100 can be manufactured by the following procedure, for example.
首先，準備Si基板，其具有相對於應加工晶圓的直徑為+10mm的直徑，並具有相對於應加工晶圓的厚度為+0.6mm的厚度。接著，以研削輪在Si基板的上表面研削0.1mm形成粗糙面，該研削輪環狀地具備研削磨石，該研削磨石是將粒徑50μm程度的金剛石磨粒以樹脂結合劑固定所形成。接著，將研削輪定位於從Si基板的外周端往內側略小於5mm處並研削至500μm的深度，並形成與晶圓大致同形狀的第一開口部120，該研削輪是以應加工晶圓的直徑的1/2程度的直徑而環狀地具備研削磨石，該研削磨石是將粒徑20μm程度的金剛石磨粒以樹脂結合劑固定所形成。進而，將形成第一開口部120的研削輪在第一開口部120的底部以僅對應於應加工晶圓的外周剩餘區域的寬度（2~3mm）之寬度（2~3mm）定位於內側，以留下支撐部122，並形成研削至20μm深度的第二開口部130。藉由以上完成輔助器具100。First, a Si substrate is prepared, which has a diameter of +10 mm with respect to the diameter of the wafer to be processed, and has a thickness of +0.6 mm with respect to the thickness of the wafer to be processed. Next, the upper surface of the Si substrate was ground by a grinding wheel of 0.1 mm to form a rough surface. The grinding wheel was provided with a grinding grindstone in a ring shape. The grinding grindstone was formed by fixing diamond abrasive grains having a particle diameter of about 50 μm with a resin binder. . Next, the grinding wheel is positioned at a position slightly less than 5 mm from the outer peripheral end of the Si substrate to a depth of 500 μm, and a first opening 120 having a shape substantially the same as that of the wafer is formed. The grinding wheel is a wafer to be processed. A grinding grindstone having a diameter of about 1/2 of the diameter is provided annularly, and the grinding grindstone is formed by fixing diamond abrasive grains having a particle size of about 20 μm with a resin binder. Furthermore, the grinding wheel forming the first opening 120 is positioned at the bottom of the first opening 120 with a width (2 ~ 3mm) corresponding to the width (2 ~ 3mm) of the remaining area of the outer periphery of the wafer to be processed. The support portion 122 is left, and a second opening portion 130 is formed to a depth of 20 μm. With this, the assisting device 100 is completed.
藉由上述程序的製造，圍繞輔助器具100的第一開口部120的外周112形成粗糙面，以使後述晶圓加工時照射的雷射光線散射。再者，外周112並非限定藉由上述條件研削之物，只要形成使加工時照射的雷射光線散射的程度的粗糙面即可。By the above-described manufacturing process, a rough surface is formed around the outer periphery 112 of the first opening 120 of the auxiliary device 100 so as to scatter the laser light irradiated during wafer processing described later. In addition, the outer periphery 112 is not limited to the thing ground under the above-mentioned conditions, and it is sufficient to form a rough surface to the extent that the laser light irradiated during processing scatters.
輔助器具100的第一開口部120的深度，是配合加工晶圓的厚度而設定，在本實施方式例如設為500μm程度的深度。另外，第二開口部130的深度，亦即，從底部132至支撐部122的段差，設定為20μm。再者，該段差為不會接觸於第一開口部120容納的晶圓的元件形成面之程度的段差即可，較佳為設定成10~20μm程度。再者，圖1為了易於瞭解地說明輔助器具100的構成，非沿用實際的尺寸之物。The depth of the first opening 120 of the auxiliary device 100 is set in accordance with the thickness of the processed wafer, and is set to a depth of about 500 μm in this embodiment, for example. In addition, the depth of the second opening portion 130, that is, the step from the bottom portion 132 to the support portion 122 is set to 20 μm. It should be noted that the step is a step that does not contact the element formation surface of the wafer accommodated in the first opening 120, and is preferably set to about 10 to 20 μm. In addition, FIG. 1 does not use the thing of the actual size in order to demonstrate the structure of the assisting device 100 easily.
對作為工件的晶圓施予加工前，準備以上所示的輔助器具100，藉此結束輔助器具準備步驟。Before processing a wafer as a workpiece, the auxiliary device 100 described above is prepared, and the auxiliary device preparation step is completed.
（框架支撐步驟） 接著實施框架支撐步驟。實施框架支撐步驟時，首先，如圖2（a）所示準備作為工件的大致圓形狀的晶圓10。晶圓10為，例如對由Si（矽）組成的晶圓實施包含光刻處理及蝕刻的加工，以在正面10a上之由互相正交的多條分割預定線12劃分的元件區域上形成多個元件（MEMS）14之晶圓。在圍繞該元件14所形成的該元件區域的外周形成外周剩餘區域10c，外周剩餘區域10c上不形成元件14。將晶圓10的背面10b黏貼至切割膠帶T，並以具有容納晶圓10的開口的框架F在容納晶圓10的狀態下黏貼至切割膠帶T，以該框架F支撐該晶圓10。藉由以上完成框架支撐步驟（參閱圖2（b））。(Frame support step) Next, a frame support step is performed. When the frame supporting step is performed, first, a wafer 10 having a substantially circular shape as a workpiece is prepared as shown in FIG. 2 (a). The wafer 10 is, for example, a wafer made of Si (silicon) is subjected to a process including photolithography and etching to form a plurality of element regions on the front surface 10a divided by a plurality of orthogonal division lines 12 that are orthogonal to each other. Wafer (MEMS) 14. A peripheral remaining region 10c is formed on the outer periphery of the element region formed around the element 14, and the element 14 is not formed on the peripheral remaining region 10c. The back surface 10b of the wafer 10 is adhered to the dicing tape T, and a frame F having an opening for accommodating the wafer 10 is adhered to the dicing tape T in a state in which the wafer 10 is accommodated, and the wafer 10 is supported by the frame F.

本實施方式的雷射加工裝置2，概以如以上之方式構成，以下說明關於接續上述框架支撐步驟所實施的卡盤台載置步驟。The laser processing apparatus 2 according to this embodiment is generally configured as described above. The following describes the chuck table mounting step performed after the frame supporting step.
（卡盤台載置步驟） 卡盤台載置步驟如圖4（a）所示，在卡盤台34的吸附卡盤35上載置輔助器具100，並在輔助器具100的第一開口部120將形成元件14的晶圓10的正面10a側向下進行容納，且藉由使4個夾具36作用於保持晶圓10的框架F而進行固定。進而，藉由使吸引力作用在卡盤台34的吸附卡盤35而吸引保持輔助器具100。此時，在輔助器具100的支撐部122抵接並保持外周剩餘區域10c，該外周剩餘區域10c圍繞形成晶圓10的正面10a之形成元件14的元件區域。藉此，如圖4（b）的概略剖面圖所示，切割膠帶T位於最上面，且晶圓10透過輔助器具100在卡盤台34的吸附卡盤35上保持，並確保晶圓10的形成元件14的元件區域及輔助器具100的底壁132之間的空間（約為20μm）。藉由以上完成卡盤台載置步驟。(Chuck Table Mounting Step) As shown in FIG. 4 (a), the chuck table mounting step places the auxiliary device 100 on the suction chuck 35 of the chuck table 34, and places the auxiliary device 100 in the first opening 120 of the auxiliary device 100. The front surface 10 a side of the wafer 10 forming the element 14 is accommodated downward, and the four fixtures 36 are fixed to the frame F holding the wafer 10. Furthermore, the suction assist chuck 35 is attracted and held by the suction chuck 35 having the suction force acting on the chuck table 34. At this time, the support portion 122 of the auxiliary device 100 abuts and holds the remaining peripheral area 10 c, which surrounds the element area of the element 14 forming the front surface 10 a of the wafer 10. As a result, as shown in the schematic cross-sectional view of FIG. 4 (b), the dicing tape T is positioned at the top, and the wafer 10 is held on the suction chuck 35 of the chuck table 34 through the auxiliary device 100, and the wafer 10 is secured. A space (approximately 20 μm) between the element region forming the element 14 and the bottom wall 132 of the auxiliary device 100. With the above, the chuck table mounting step is completed.
（改質層形成步驟） 如上述般，若完成了卡盤台載置步驟，則實施用來在晶圓的內部形成改質層的改質層形成步驟。改質層形成步驟具體而言是根據以下程序而實施。(Modified layer forming step) As described above, if the chuck table mounting step is completed, a modified layer forming step for forming a modified layer inside the wafer is performed. The modified layer forming step is specifically performed according to the following procedure.
若在卡盤台34上保持住了輔助器具100與晶圓10，則加工進給手段23作動並將卡盤台34定位於攝像手段26的正下方。當卡盤台34定位於攝像手段26的正下方，則由攝像手段及未圖示之控制手段實施檢測晶圓10的應雷射加工的加工區域的對位作業。亦即，攝像手段26及控制手段實行圖案匹配等的圖像處理，以進行沿著晶圓10的分割預定線12照射雷射光線LB的雷射光線照射手段24的聚光器241及加工區域之間的對位，並展開雷射光線照射位置的對準步驟。此時，雖形成晶圓10的分割預定線12的正面10a位於下側位置，但因攝像手段26由如上述的紅外線照明手段與捕捉紅外線的光學系統，及輸出對應紅外線的電子訊號之攝像元件（紅外線CCD）等所構成，故能穿透切割膠帶T及晶圓10對正面10a側的分割預定線12攝像。When the auxiliary device 100 and the wafer 10 are held on the chuck table 34, the processing feed means 23 is operated and the chuck table 34 is positioned directly below the imaging means 26. When the chuck table 34 is positioned directly under the imaging means 26, the alignment operation of the processing area where the laser processing of the wafer 10 should be performed is performed by the imaging means and a control means (not shown). That is, the imaging means 26 and the control means perform image processing such as pattern matching to perform the condenser 241 and the processing area of the laser light irradiation means 24 that radiate the laser light LB along the planned division line 12 of the wafer 10. Alignment, and start the alignment step of the laser light irradiation position. At this time, although the front surface 10a forming the planned division line 12 of the wafer 10 is located at the lower position, the imaging means 26 is composed of the infrared illumination means and the optical system for capturing infrared rays as described above, and an imaging element that outputs an electronic signal corresponding to infrared rays. (Infrared CCD) and the like, it can penetrate the dicing tape T and the wafer 10 to image the division line 12 on the front surface 10a side.
若實施了上述對位步驟，則如圖5（a）所示，將對晶圓10具有穿透性波長的雷射光線LB通過切割膠帶T，亦即透過切割膠帶T沿著分割預定線12照射，實施在晶圓10的內部形成改質層200的改質層形成步驟。更具體而言，將卡盤台34移動至照射雷射光線LB的雷射光線照射手段24的聚光器241所位在的雷射光線照射區域，且將預定的分割預定線12的一端定位於雷射光線照射手段24的聚光器241正下方。接著，將從聚光器241照射的雷射光線LB的聚光點定位於晶圓10的內部，從聚光器24照射對晶圓10具有穿透性的波長的脈衝雷射光線LB，同時使卡盤台34往圖中箭頭X所示方向以預定的加工進給速度移動，並移動至分割預定線12的另一端。如此加工般一邊作動保持手段22及移動手段23，一邊實施沿著全部的分割預定線12形成改質層的雷射加工（參閱圖5（b））。再者，圖5（b）表示從輔助器具100取出晶圓10且為正面10a側向上方的狀態之圖。If the above-mentioned alignment step is performed, as shown in FIG. 5 (a), the laser light LB having a penetrating wavelength to the wafer 10 is passed through the dicing tape T, that is, the dicing tape T is passed along the predetermined division line 12. By irradiation, a modified layer forming step of forming a modified layer 200 inside the wafer 10 is performed. More specifically, the chuck table 34 is moved to the laser light irradiation area where the condenser 241 of the laser light irradiation means 24 that irradiates the laser light LB is located, and one end of the predetermined division predetermined line 12 is positioned Directly below the condenser 241 of the laser light irradiation means 24. Next, the light-condensing point of the laser light LB emitted from the condenser 241 is positioned inside the wafer 10, and the pulse laser light LB having a wavelength penetrating to the wafer 10 is irradiated from the condenser 24, and The chuck table 34 is moved in a direction indicated by an arrow X in the figure at a predetermined processing feed rate, and is moved to the other end of the division-scheduled line 12. In this manner, the laser processing is performed to form a modified layer along all the planned division lines 12 while the holding means 22 and the moving means 23 are operated (see FIG. 5 (b)). 5 (b) shows a state where the wafer 10 is taken out from the auxiliary device 100 and the front surface 10a side is upward.
在上述雷射加工實施的雷射加工條件，例如以下述般所設定。 波長 ：1030nm 脈衝寬度 ：10ps 重複頻率 ：100kHz 聚光透鏡（數值孔徑） ：0.8 平均輸出 ：0.5W 散焦 ：-290μm 點徑 ：φ5μm 加工進給速度 ：1000nm/秒The laser processing conditions performed in the laser processing are set, for example, as follows. Wavelength: 1030nm Pulse width: 10ps Repetition frequency: 100kHz Condensing lens (numerical aperture): 0.8 Average output: 0.5W Defocus: -290μm Point diameter: φ5μm Processing feed rate: 1000nm / sec
在本發明中，不用黏貼對晶圓10的形成了元件14的正面10a側進行保護之黏著膠帶等，而使用如上述的輔助器具實施雷射加工。因此，在實施雷射加工後，將黏著性的膠帶剝離等為非必要，即使如MEMS元件的細微複雜的電路所形成的元件，亦不發生損害等問題。In the present invention, instead of sticking an adhesive tape or the like that protects the front surface 10a side of the wafer 10 on which the element 14 is formed, laser processing is performed using the above-mentioned auxiliary device. Therefore, it is not necessary to peel off the adhesive tape or the like after laser processing is performed, and even if the device is formed by a fine and complicated circuit such as a MEMS device, problems such as damage do not occur.
實施上述雷射加工時，開始對預定的分割預定線12的雷射光線LB照射的開始位置及結束雷射光線LB照射的結束位置，不論何者皆僅距晶圓10上的分割預定線12的端部些微距離地定位於輔助器具100的外周112側。在此，本發明如上述，輔助器具100的外周112的正面加工為粗糙面以使雷射光線LB照射時會散射，即使在輔助器具100的外周112照射雷射光線亦能防止劣化。再者，輔助器具100的外周112的寬度為3~5mm程度較佳。藉由以上完成改質層形成步驟。When the above laser processing is performed, the start position of the laser beam LB irradiation to the predetermined division line 12 and the end position of the laser beam LB irradiation to the end of the laser beam LB are only any distance from the division line 12 on the wafer 10 The ends are positioned slightly on the outer periphery 112 side of the assistive device 100. Here, in the present invention, as described above, the front surface of the outer periphery 112 of the auxiliary device 100 is processed into a rough surface so that the laser light LB is scattered when it is irradiated. Even if the laser light is irradiated to the outer periphery 112 of the auxiliary device 100, deterioration can be prevented. The width of the outer periphery 112 of the auxiliary device 100 is preferably about 3 to 5 mm. In this way, the modified layer forming step is completed.
（框架支撐步驟） 如上述，若完成了改質層形成步驟，則實施分割步驟。參閱圖6並一邊說明關於本實施方式中要實施分割步驟所構成之分割裝置70。(Frame support step) As described above, if the modified layer forming step is completed, the dividing step is performed. Referring to FIG. 6, a description will be given of a division device 70 configured to perform a division step in this embodiment.
圖示的分割裝置70，是藉由將保持晶圓10的環狀框架進行保持的框架保持構件71、及作為配設於框架保持構件71的外周的固定手段的多個夾具72而構成框架保持手段。另外，具備在框架保持構件71的內側配設的擴張鼓輪75，其是要擴張在該框架保持手段所保持的環狀的框架F上所裝設的切割膠帶T。該擴張鼓輪75具有，比環狀的框架F的內徑小，且比裝設於該環狀的框架F的切割膠帶T上所黏貼的晶圓10的外徑大的內徑以及外徑。另外，擴張鼓輪75具備在下端部往徑方向突出所形成的支撐凸緣（省略圖示），在該支撐凸緣上，配設要在上下方向將框架保持構件71前進後退的多個的汽缸73，藉由汽缸73能在上下方向前進後退的活塞桿體74連結於框架保持構件71的下表面。如此般由多個汽缸73與活塞桿體74組成的支撐手段構成為能夠選擇性地在基準位置和擴張位置之間移動，該基準位置為在圖6（a）以實線所示般環狀的框架保持構件71與擴張鼓輪75的上端成為大致同一高度的位置，擴張位置為以兩點鏈線所示般環狀的框架保持構件71在距擴張鼓輪75的上端預定量下方的位置。The division device 70 shown in the figure is configured by a frame holding member 71 holding a ring-shaped frame holding the wafer 10 and a plurality of jigs 72 as fixing means arranged on the outer periphery of the frame holding member 71 to constitute a frame holding. means. In addition, an expansion drum 75 disposed inside the frame holding member 71 is provided to expand the dicing tape T mounted on the ring-shaped frame F held by the frame holding means. The expansion drum 75 has an inner diameter and an outer diameter smaller than the inner diameter of the ring-shaped frame F and larger than the outer diameter of the wafer 10 attached to the dicing tape T mounted on the ring-shaped frame F. . In addition, the expansion drum 75 includes a support flange (not shown) formed to protrude in the radial direction of the lower end portion, and a plurality of support flanges are provided on the support flange to move the frame holding member 71 forward and backward. The cylinder 73 is connected to the lower surface of the frame holding member 71 by a piston rod body 74 that can move forward and backward in the vertical direction. The supporting means composed of the plurality of cylinders 73 and the piston rod body 74 is configured to be selectively movable between a reference position and an expanded position, and the reference position is a ring shape shown by a solid line in FIG. 6 (a). The frame holding member 71 and the upper end of the expansion drum 75 are positioned at approximately the same height, and the expanded position is a position where the frame holding member 71 that is ring-shaped as shown by a two-point chain line is below a predetermined amount from the upper end of the expansion drum 75. .
說明關於上述分割裝置70的作用。將透過切割膠帶T支撐沿著分割預定線12形成了改質層200的晶圓10之環狀的框架F載置於框架保持構件71的載置面上，並由夾具72固定框架保持構件71。此時，框架保持構件71定位於圖6（a）中實線所示的基準位置。The operation of the division device 70 will be described. The ring-shaped frame F supporting the wafer 10 having the modified layer 200 formed along the planned division line 12 through the dicing tape T is placed on the mounting surface of the frame holding member 71, and the frame holding member 71 is fixed by the clamp 72. . At this time, the frame holding member 71 is positioned at a reference position shown by a solid line in FIG. 6 (a).
在定位於圖中實線所示基準位置的框架保持構件71，若透過切割膠帶T固定了支撐晶圓10的環狀的框架F，則作動構成膠帶擴張手段的多個的汽缸73，使環狀的框架保持構件71下降。藉此，因被固定在框架保持構件71的載置面上的環狀的框架F也下降，故如圖中兩點鏈線所示般裝設在環狀的框架F上的切割膠帶T，抵接相對上升的擴張輪鼓75的上端緣而使其被擴張。這個結果，在黏貼於切割膠帶T的晶圓10上作用放射狀的拉力，且如圖6（b）所示，沿著分割預定線12形成的改質層200成為分割起點，沿著各個的元件14形成分割線210。藉由以上完成分割步驟At the frame holding member 71 positioned at the reference position shown by the solid line in the figure, when the ring-shaped frame F supporting the wafer 10 is fixed by the dicing tape T, a plurality of cylinders 73 constituting the tape expansion means are operated to make the ring The frame holding member 71 is lowered. Thereby, since the ring-shaped frame F fixed on the mounting surface of the frame holding member 71 is also lowered, the dicing tape T attached to the ring-shaped frame F as shown by the two-dot chain line in the figure, The upper end edge of the relatively rising expansion drum 75 abuts and is expanded. As a result, a radial tensile force acts on the wafer 10 adhered to the dicing tape T, and as shown in FIG. 6 (b), the modified layer 200 formed along the planned division line 12 becomes the division starting point, and along each The element 14 forms a dividing line 210. Complete the segmentation steps with the above
若完成了上述分割步驟，則使用適合的拾取手段，從切割膠帶T拾取分割為一個個的元件14，並搬送至下個步驟。After the above-mentioned dividing step is completed, the divided components 14 are picked up from the dicing tape T using a suitable picking means and transferred to the next step.
本發明並不限定於上述實施方式，在包含本發明的技術範圍內，可假設為各種變形例。在上述實施方式中，雖以MEMS的情況表示元件14，但本發明並不限定於此，可適用於IC、LSI、LED等，其他的元件所形成之晶圓加工時。The present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, and various modifications can be assumed within the technical scope of the present invention. In the above-mentioned embodiment, the element 14 is shown in the case of MEMS, but the present invention is not limited to this, and can be applied to processing of wafers formed of other elements such as ICs, LSIs, and LEDs.
