Description of the invention (1) Scope of the invention The present invention generally relates to the cutting of semiconductor wafers into blocks. More particularly, the present invention relates to a method for laser scoring of a semiconductor wafer before mechanical dicing of the semiconductor wafer. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The process of separating crystal grains by ore mining, or cutting into blocks, is a process of cutting a microelectronic substrate with a rotating circular grinding serrated blade to form individual crystal grains. The technology of wafer dicing has progressed rapidly, and dicing is now a mandatory procedure in most front-end semiconductor packaging operations. It is widely used for the separation of die on a substrate circuit wafer. The increasing use of microelectronics in microwave and hybrid circuits, memory, computers, defense and medical electronics has created a host of new and difficult problems for this industry. More expensive and exotic materials like sapphire, garnet, alumina, ceramics, glass, quartz, ferrous salts, and other hard, fragile substrates are being used. It is often combined to produce multiple layers of different materials and is therefore more of a problem with dicing. The high cost of these substrates, together with the price of the circuits printed on them by the Consumer Cooperatives of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, makes it difficult to accept any situation where the output is not high during the grain separation stage. A mechanical procedure for the processing of dicing and grinding particles. It assumes that the mechanism of this procedure is similar to peristaltic grinding. As such, a similarity can be found in the material, the removal behavior between dicing and grinding. However, the size of this dicing knife for grain separation makes this procedure unique. Typically, the thickness of this blade ranges from 0.6 mils to 50 mils (0.015 mm to 127, _____- 4- this paper size is based on CNS) A4 specifications (21G X 297 public hair)-" ~~- -------- 4 6 1 〇 4 5 Printed by the Consumer Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs A7 V. Description of the invention (2) Jingshi particles (the hardest material known) are used as the abrasive material composition Because of the extreme fineness of this diamond dicing knife, it is imperative to follow a strict set of parameters, and even the smallest deviation in specifications may cause complete failure. Figure 1 is a semiconductor wafer during semiconductor device manufacturing Large-scale view of 100. A conventional semiconductor wafer 100 may have many wafers, or dies, on a surface, ..., formed on the upper plane. To open the wafers 100a, 100b, etc. to each other. A series of orthogonal lines or " streets " 102,104 and wafer 100 are cut into this wafer 100. This procedure is also known as dicing this wafer. The blade of the dicing sawtooth is made A disc form that is either sandwiched between the edges of a hub or built on a hub It precisely locates this thin and flexible serrated blade. Today's advanced 1C wafers are usually plated with an oxide or nitride passivation layer, which is further covered by a protective layer of polymer (commonly shown in Figure I 106). This material combination has an important impact on the quality of wafer dicing and die edges. As shown in Figure 4, when using traditional dicing techniques, such as single knife and single cut The edge of the die on the bottom of the semiconductor wafer 400 suffers from severe back shards (BSC) 406. In addition, at the top of this wafer 400, problems at the edge of the die include a passivation layer (not shown) ) Cracking and aggregation. The formation of silver (not shown).-A method to overcome the aforementioned problem of grain edges is a dual-division method. This method is a combination of two cuts. The first cut is shallow and The second time is cut through. The first cut usually uses a beveled blade and the second time uses a standard blade. The purpose of the first cut is to order from the semiconductor wafer 100 street. --------- Line (Please read the precautions on the back before filling (This page) This paper is in accordance with China National Standard (CNS) A4 specifications (21mm 4S and 0504 5 printed by the Intellectual Property Bureau Staff Consumer Cooperatives of the Ministry of Economic Affairs A7. V. Description of the invention (Tao 102 '104 Remove polymer coatings and The passivation layer ι〇6 is to allow a smooth cut through. The removal of paint and passivation layer 106 from streets 102, 104 also affects the back debris. As a result, the size of the debris is reduced a bit. However, for oblique angles There are two disadvantages to cutting. First, when the blade is blunt, the incision becomes wider and this requires frequent handling and knife change. In addition, mechanical removal of the passivation layer causes chipping of the residue, which causes further deterioration of the grains. There are other disadvantages to this beveled cut. It is the height of the blade penetration that must be carefully monitored 'because for each micrometer of penetration, the incision becomes about 2 micrometers wide. In addition, this beveled knife may insert hidden damage at the edge of the die, such as in the form of chipping. Visual inspection of the die after dicing (—industry standard) cannot detect such damage. In addition, the beveled blade is quickly blunt and requires frequent replacement, which is an expensive procedure. In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, there is a need to develop a method for cutting a die having a passivation layer so that the number of chips behind is minimized and the yield of available circuits is increased. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, it is an object of the present invention to optimize this dicing process and minimize the bottom debris of a semiconductor wafer. The present invention is a method for dicing a semiconductor substrate by focusing a laser beam on the upper surface of the substrate; forming a score line on the substrate by scanning the laser beam through the substrate surface; and This score line diced the substrate to form many grains. According to another aspect of the present invention, the substrate is diced according to the present invention after the substrate is scribed and diced. --- ^ ---------- ^ 1 'Outfit -------- · Order --------- line / 1- (Please read the precautions on the back first (Fill in this page) Printed A7 by the Consumer Cooperatives of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs. 5.

Description of the invention (5) Figure 10 Using a substrate according to the present invention there is another - the description of particular exemplary apparatus debris cut back. Fig. 11 is an illustration of back fragments of a substrate at a street intersection after being cut using a specific device according to one of the present invention. Detailed description In the manufacture of semiconductor devices, individual wafers are used—very high-speed rotating serrated blades cut from a large wafer. In fact, this sawtooth blade grinds away a portion of the wafer along a linear street or cut (as shown by 102'104 in Fig. 1) following a second operation in one direction in a vertical direction. The quality of this die (wafer) is directly related to the minimization of debris during the dicing operation. The inventors have determined that the substrate will be cut through using a non-mechanical method-removing the purification layer from the substrate will minimize BSC and increase the yield of the device. Referring to FIG. 2, a flowchart of an exemplary device according to the present invention is shown. Refer to Figure 3 for an example laser scribing principle. In FIG. 2, at step 200, a laser beam 302 from a laser 300 (shown in FIG. 3) is focused on the surface of the substrate 100. It must be noted that this laser beam 302 may also be focused at a point above or below the surface of the substrate 100. In step 205, the laser beam 302 is scanned across the surface of the passivation layer 106 to remove the passivation layer 106 and form a desired score line 102. The depth of this ruled line can be between approximately inches (0.025 mm) and 0.002 inches (0.050 mm). In the specific device of this example, the diameter of the laser beam 30 is about 50 μm, although other diameters can be used if necessary. ”In forming this paper, the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 X 297 mm) is applied. Li) (Please read the notes on the back before filling out this page) Sang --------- Order -------- • Line Printed by Employee Consumer Cooperatives, Intellectual Property Bureau, Ministry of Economic Affairs 4 6 1 〇4 5 Α7 Β7 V. Description of the invention (6) (Please read the precautions on the back before filling out this page) In streets 102 and 104, the laser beam 302 only penetrates the passivation layer and does not hit the substrate 100. The surface may be ideal. In addition, the laser beam 302 can be used to remove polymer coatings, such as a polyimide, and a passivation layer from the street 102, 004 before dicing. In the specific device of this example, the laser 300 is fixed, and the substrate 100 is moved in the direction A. For example, a common χ_γ table (not shown) is used to mount the substrate 100 thereon to Form street 102. When each street 102 is completed, the substrate 100 is moved in the B direction of the χ_γ table, and this process is repeated for an additional street 102. After all the streets 102 are formed, the substrate 100 is rotated about 90 degrees so that this private sequence can be repeated to form the streets 104 in the substrate 100. In addition, the laser 300 can be moved in the direction of χ or γ or both relative to a fixed substrate 100. In step 210, the substrate is cut into pieces using a common method, like sawing all the pieces, along the streets 102, 104 to form the grains 100a, 100b, and so on. An advantage of laser engraving is that laser engraving can cut the dicing process at a much higher angle than the commonly used oblique angle to remove the passivation layer supply rate. However, it must be printed by the Intellectual Property Office of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, Consumer Affairs Co., Ltd. The grinding cuts accompanying the laser scribe and the supply rate of this scribe need not be the same. Other advantages of this laser engraving over bevel cutting are that υ eliminates the need for expensive blades, and 2) allows the possibility of packaging this passivation layer, thus avoiding the formation of cracks. In the first example method, the wafer (substrate) is treated with a CO2 laser beam to remove paint from the street of this wafer before dicing. In order to reduce the -9-χ297 ™ 5 ^ Τ Ministry of Economic Affairs wisdom Printed by the Consumer Cooperative of the Property Bureau 4 6 10 4 5 A7 B7 V. Description of Invention (7) BSC. The wafer is treated with a uniform energy level to remove the polyimide coating. All streets 102 ' 104 are processed according to the same parameters. The parameters of this co2 laser are as follows:. Power = 15 Watt Speed = ~ 2 V seconds (1 mm / second) Follow the laser scribe line. This wafer uses the following parameters to dicing on a common dicing device : Supply rate: 2 ”/ second (50.8 mm / second) Shaft speed: 30,000 rpm Knife type: 1235-010 Water flow: Mainly 1.5 L / min 'Clean 1 L / mip, spray sample 1 L / min, The wafer was subjected to a microscope analysis to determine the amount of BSC resulting from the dicing operation. Figure 5 is an enlarged view 500 of the BSC result, where the polyimide layer is applied to the substrate according to the specific device of the first example. It has been removed from this street before dicing. As shown in Figure 5, the largest BSC 502 is about 60 μm and the average BSC 504 is about 22 μm. Conversely, Figure 4 is an enlarged view 400 of the BSC results, The polyimide was not removed before dicing the substrate.

Description of the invention (I2 (please read the precautions on the back before filling in this page) As shown in Figure 8-10, the difference between the two is shown in Figure 8-10. The Bsc result above is lower than the result on the unprocessed wafer (reference sun circle). Figure 8 is a bottom view 800 of this reference wafer. Figure 9 is a bottom view of a wafer processed with a 10 watt laser View 900, while Figure 10 is a bottom view of a wafer processed with a 15 Watt laser 1000. As shown in Figure 7F in Figure 8, the maximum BSC is 97 8 (80 2 in Figure 8) and average 51 μιη (804 in Figure 8). As shown in Figure 9, using a 10 watt CO2 laser to remove the polyimide coating improves this BSC result to a maximum of 551 shots (902 in Figure 9) and the average 31.2 spleen (904 in Fig. 9). In addition, as shown in Fig. 10, using a 15 Watt CO2 laser to remove the polyimide coating improves the BSC result to a maximum of 58.6 μηι (Fig. 10). 1002) and average 329 is called 1004). On the one hand, this result is repeatable in these experiments, as seen by the calculation of the standard deviation for each group, but on the other hand, this result is not equivalent to the same parameters in the second experiment. Use the results obtained. Overall, the BSC improvement achieved using the specific device of this example is between about 40% and 70% higher than that achieved by the conventional method using a single-blade knife.
