Description
本發明涉及晶片製造工藝技術領域,尤其涉及一種晶片切割道工藝方法。The invention relates to the technical field of wafer manufacturing technology, in particular to a wafer cutting line processing method.
現有的晶片製造工藝中將晶圓切割成一個一個晶片時,所採用的方法一般是鐳射切割或者砂輪鋸片切斷。其中,鐳射切割一般並非一次切斷,通常需要後續的劈裂工藝配合,且鐳射切割高溫灼燒的過程會產生有害的含砷元素的氣體,會對人體造成傷害,甚至導致中毒死亡,故其工藝複雜、成本較高並具有安全隱患。而使用砂輪將晶圓直接切斷的方式,會造成晶片出現鋸齒狀邊緣輪廓的外觀不良,及外觀尺寸不一致的問題,並且在使用自動光學檢測的時候,誤判率非常高。In the existing wafer manufacturing process, when the wafer is cut into individual wafers, the method generally adopted is laser cutting or grinding wheel saw blade cutting. Among them, laser cutting is generally not a one-time cutting, and usually requires the cooperation of the subsequent splitting process, and the high-temperature burning process of laser cutting will produce harmful arsenic-containing gas, which will cause harm to the human body and even lead to poisoning death, so its The process is complicated, the cost is high and there are potential safety hazards. The method of directly cutting the wafer with a grinding wheel will cause poor appearance of the wafer with a jagged edge profile and inconsistent appearance and size, and when automatic optical inspection is used, the misjudgment rate is very high.
鑒於上述狀況,有必要提出一種提高顯示品質的晶片切割道工藝方法。In view of the above situation, it is necessary to propose a wafer dicing line process method for improving display quality.
為了解決上述技術問題,本發明採用的技術方案為:一種晶片切割道工藝方法,其特徵在於,包括以下步驟:對一切割道區域進行化學蝕刻,形成一蝕刻帶,該蝕刻帶的側壁為非垂直面側壁;及用機械砂輪對準該蝕刻帶進行切割,切割邊緣痕跡落在該蝕刻帶內,且該蝕刻帶位於晶圓表面的輪廓為無機械損傷的平直直線,使晶圓上表面形成具有平整邊緣輪廓的高光反射區域。In order to solve the above technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is: a wafer dicing line process method, which is characterized in that it includes the following steps: chemically etching a dicing line area to form an etching zone, the sidewall of the etching zone is non- vertical sidewall; and use a mechanical grinding wheel to align the etching band for cutting, the cutting edge traces fall in the etching band, and the contour of the etching band on the wafer surface is a straight line without mechanical damage, so that the upper surface of the wafer Creates specular areas with flat edge contours.
進一步的,該蝕刻帶的深度為10-20μm,寬度為20-40μm。Further, the etching zone has a depth of 10-20 μm and a width of 20-40 μm.
進一步的,在化學蝕刻之前,用光刻定義該切割道區域。Further, photolithography is used to define the scribe line region before chemical etching.
進一步的,在化學蝕刻後切割工藝前,用機械研磨減薄該切割道區域背向光刻膠的一側。Further, before the dicing process after the chemical etching, the side of the dicing line region facing away from the photoresist is thinned by mechanical grinding.
進一步的,減薄後的晶圓剩餘厚度為50-200μm。Further, the remaining thickness of the thinned wafer is 50-200 μm.
進一步的,該切割工藝為機械切割或鐳射切割。Further, the cutting process is mechanical cutting or laser cutting.
進一步的,在切割工藝後去除光刻膠。Further, the photoresist is removed after the cutting process.
進一步的,該蝕刻帶的側壁為弧形側壁,其寬度向下逐漸減小。Further, the sidewall of the etching zone is an arc-shaped sidewall, and its width gradually decreases downwards.
進一步的,化學蝕刻所使用的蝕刻液包含 H 3PO 4/H 2SO 4/HCl/H 2O 2/H 2O中的至少一種。 Further, the etching solution used for chemical etching includes at least one of H 3 PO 4 /H 2 SO 4 /HCl/H 2 O 2 /H 2 O.
本發明的有益效果在於:利用濕法蝕刻在晶圓上表面形成具有平整邊緣輪廓的高光反射區域,與側壁區域形成光學強度高對比,由於該蝕刻帶為非垂直側壁,該蝕刻帶與切割痕跡的交界處形成的焦平面與高光反射區域的焦平面不在一個焦平面上,在顯微鏡下晶片外觀視覺上平整,在自動光學檢測時不容易出現誤判,提高了自動光學檢測的準確率。The beneficial effect of the present invention is that: wet etching is used to form a high-light reflection region with a smooth edge profile on the upper surface of the wafer, which forms a high contrast in optical intensity with the sidewall region. Since the etching zone is a non-vertical sidewall, the etching zone and the cutting trace The focal plane formed at the junction of the wafer and the focal plane of the high-light reflection area are not on the same focal plane. Under the microscope, the appearance of the wafer is visually flat, and it is not easy to misjudgment during automatic optical inspection, which improves the accuracy of automatic optical inspection.
