Description

用於矽晶粒的預加熱系統及方法Preheating system and method for tantalum grains

本發明係關於用於將多個晶粒接合(bonding)至各種電介質之晶粒預加熱器,以及該晶粒預加熱器的使用方法。The present invention relates to a crystal grain preheater for bonding a plurality of crystal grains to various dielectrics, and a method of using the crystal grain preheater.

覆晶微電子配件係利用晶片接合墊(bondpad)上的導電凸塊(conductive bump)進行面朝下的(face-down)直接電氣連接,例如,將電子零件“翻轉(flipped)”覆蓋於基板、電路板或載體(carrier)上。在傳統的覆晶接合中,是在完成沾附助焊劑(fluxing)與晶片擺置(placement)之後,接著將該晶片移至回焊爐,讓引線的焊錫尖端熔化並且與電路板的接墊接合。在熱壓接合(thermal compression bonding)中,晶片擺置與回焊係同時進行。在擺置過程中,對晶粒以及基板加熱以熔化焊接凸塊,該等焊接凸塊在電路上形成該等凸塊與該等接合墊之間的多個焊接接合點(solder joint)。Flip-chip microelectronics components perform face-down direct electrical connections using conductive bumps on a bond pad, for example, "flipping" electronic components over a substrate , on a circuit board or carrier. In the conventional flip chip bonding, after the fluxing and wafer placement are completed, the wafer is then transferred to the reflow oven, and the solder tip of the lead is melted and padded with the board. Engage. In thermal compression bonding, the wafer placement is performed simultaneously with the reflow system. During placement, the die and the substrate are heated to melt the solder bumps, and the solder bumps form a plurality of solder joints between the bumps and the bond pads on the circuit.

與現今的覆晶配件技術有關的一個問題係矽晶粒容易受到熱震(thermal shock)的影響。具有低介電常數的晶粒在突然曝露於高溫的情況下會發生電路疲勞(circuitry fatigue)。One problem associated with today's flip chip technology is that the die is susceptible to thermal shock. A crystal having a low dielectric constant may cause circuit fatigue in the case of sudden exposure to high temperatures.

熱壓縮過程中需要將晶粒自室溫加熱至焊錫的熔化溫度,該焊錫熔化溫度可高達240℃。為了降低發生熱震的可能性,升降率(ramp rate)必須為10deg/sec或更低。在現存的熱接合機(bonder),接合工具本身利用一系列的預先程式化的溫度步驟將晶粒預先加熱。為了達到所需的升降率,接合工具在開始接合製程前必須等待超過20秒。此延遲動作造成現存系統的生產率相當低。During the thermal compression process, the grains are heated from room temperature to the melting temperature of the solder, which can be heated up to 240 °C. In order to reduce the possibility of thermal shock, the ramp rate must be 10 deg/sec or less. In existing bonders, the bonding tool itself preheats the die using a series of pre-programmed temperature steps. In order to achieve the desired lift rate, the bonding tool must wait for more than 20 seconds before starting the bonding process. This delayed action results in a fairly low productivity of existing systems.

另一個問題係晶粒與基板的熱膨脹係數之間的失配(mismatch)。第1A圖與第1B圖係描述此問題。第1A圖顯示典型組裝之系統10的一部份。該系統10包含連接至基板14的零件12。在以下所示的建構中,零件12與基板14的熱膨脹係數(coefficient of thermal expansion;CTE)可假設為不相同。熱失配Δu係由以下方程式1所給定:Another problem is the mismatch between the coefficient of thermal expansion of the die and the substrate. Figures 1A and 1B depict this problem. Figure 1A shows a portion of a typical assembled system 10. The system 10 includes a component 12 that is coupled to a substrate 14. In the construction shown below, the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) of the part 12 and the substrate 14 can be assumed to be different. The thermal mismatch Δu is given by Equation 1 below:

Δue ×L×ΔT (1)Δ ue ×L×ΔT (1)

其中,Δe =材料之間的熱膨脹係數差;Where Δ e = the difference in thermal expansion coefficient between the materials;

L=零件的最長尺寸(通常為對角線);以及L = the longest dimension of the part (usually diagonal);

ΔT=溫度變化ΔT = temperature change

第1B圖描述系統10的三個例子,假設基板14的熱膨脹係數大於零件12的熱膨脹係數。在第一個例子20中,該系統10係處於熱平衡狀態。在第二個例子22中,該等零件係處於冷卻狀態,造成該基板14相對於該零件12的收縮。在第三個例子24中,該等零件係處於加熱狀態,造成該基板14相對於該零件12的膨脹。FIG. 1B depicts three examples of system 10, assuming that the thermal expansion coefficient of substrate 14 is greater than the thermal expansion coefficient of component 12. In the first example 20, the system 10 is in a state of thermal equilibrium. In the second example 22, the parts are in a cooled state, causing the substrate 14 to contract relative to the part 12. In a third example 24, the parts are in a heated state, causing expansion of the substrate 14 relative to the part 12.

將晶粒自基礎溫度預加熱至期望的溫度用以後續將該晶粒附接至基底之一個方法係描述於第6圖,並以元件符號500標示。該方法500可包含提供複數個預加熱器用以將複數個晶粒自基礎溫度預加熱至期望的溫度的第一步驟(元件符號502),該複數個預加熱器能夠以期望的速率漸增地加熱該等晶粒,直到達到期望的溫度;提供含有複數個晶粒架的晶粒座之第二步驟(元件符號504),每一個晶粒架均被組構以接收該複數個晶粒的其中一者;以及用於將複數個晶粒之每一個均指引至每一個預加熱器,直到達到期望的溫度之最後步驟(元件符號506)。於以下內容中進一步詳述。One method of preheating the die from the base temperature to the desired temperature for subsequent attachment of the die to the substrate is depicted in Figure 6 and is designated by the symbol 500. The method 500 can include a first step (element symbol 502) of providing a plurality of preheaters for preheating a plurality of dies from a base temperature to a desired temperature, the plurality of preheaters being capable of increasing at a desired rate Heating the grains until a desired temperature is reached; providing a second step (element symbol 504) of the die holders comprising a plurality of die shelves, each die frame being configured to receive the plurality of grains One of them; and the last step (element symbol 506) for directing each of the plurality of dies to each of the pre-heaters until the desired temperature is reached. Further details are as follows.

因此,提供一種系統,以實施該方法500,該系統包含:複數個預加熱器,用來將複數個晶粒自基礎溫度預加熱至期望的溫度,該複數個預加熱器能夠以期望的速率漸增地加熱該複數個晶粒,直到達到期望的溫度;晶粒座,含有複數個晶粒架,每一個晶粒架均被組構以接收該複數個晶粒的其中一者;以及用具,用於將該複數個晶粒之每一個均指引至該複數個預加熱器的每一個,直到達到期望的溫度。Accordingly, a system is provided to implement the method 500, the system comprising: a plurality of preheaters for preheating a plurality of dies from a base temperature to a desired temperature, the plurality of preheaters being capable of being at a desired rate Gradually heating the plurality of grains until a desired temperature is reached; the die pad, comprising a plurality of die shelves, each die frame being configured to receive one of the plurality of grains; and And for directing each of the plurality of dies to each of the plurality of pre-heaters until a desired temperature is reached.

參閱第2圖至第6圖,現將描述安裝於該接合機200中的該晶粒預加熱器100。然而,可了解到,該預加熱器100的使用並不受限於所描述的特定接合機200。該預加熱器100可被使用於任何類型的接合機,該接合機可能需要晶粒在進行接合前經歷期望的溫度變化率。此外,多個預加熱器100可用於單一接合機中。所有此等應用均視為落於本發明實施例之範疇內。Referring to Figures 2 through 6, the die pre-heater 100 mounted in the bonding machine 200 will now be described. However, it will be appreciated that the use of the pre-heater 100 is not limited to the particular bonding machine 200 described. The preheater 100 can be used with any type of bonding machine that may require the die to experience a desired rate of temperature change prior to bonding. Additionally, multiple preheaters 100 can be used in a single bonder. All such applications are considered to fall within the scope of the embodiments of the invention.

該晶粒拾取工具216將晶粒置放於位置1(151)處。每當該伺服馬達102指引該轉臺104時,另一個晶粒係置放於位置1(151)處。當與該接合機200配合使用時,為了將晶粒以期望的速率預加熱至期望的溫度,該預加熱器100上的該轉臺104可以變化的時間間隔而被指引。由於該轉臺104旋轉以循序地相對於該預加熱器110移動該等晶粒,故此種指引形式係為已知的旋轉指引。The die pick tool 216 places the die at position 1 (151). Whenever the servo motor 102 directs the turntable 104, another die is placed at position 1 (151). When used in conjunction with the bonding machine 200, in order to preheat the die to a desired temperature at a desired rate, the turntable 104 on the preheater 100 can be directed at varying time intervals. Since the turret 104 is rotated to sequentially move the dies relative to the preheater 110, such a form of guidance is a known rotation guide.

為了說明起見,在本專利所概述之設備與方法中,用語“指引”與“將…指引”係意指循序地相對於複數個預加熱器移動晶粒,進而在接合前將該晶粒提升到期望的溫度。雖然上述的例子提供將晶粒相對於預加熱器110而旋轉指引到基板(也就是說,該等晶粒係相應於該預加熱器110移動),但可了解到也可使用其他的指引方法。舉例而言,可使用線性指引,其中該等晶粒相對於該等加熱器直線移動。同樣地,指引方式與本發明中該等晶粒相應於該等預加熱器移動之目的並不相關。也可能係該預加熱器相對於該等晶粒移動。可了解到,所有此等指引方法均視為落於本發明實施例之範疇內。For purposes of explanation, in the apparatus and method outlined in this patent, the terms "guide" and "guide" refer to sequentially moving a die relative to a plurality of preheaters, and then prior to joining the die. Raise to the desired temperature. While the above examples provide for directing the dies to the substrate relative to the pre-heater 110 (that is, the dies are moved corresponding to the pre-heater 110), it will be appreciated that other guidance methods can be used as well. . For example, linear guidance can be used in which the grains move linearly relative to the heaters. Similarly, the manner of directing is not relevant to the purpose of the wafers in the present invention corresponding to the movement of the preheaters. It is also possible that the preheater moves relative to the dies. It is to be understood that all such guidelines are considered to be within the scope of the embodiments of the invention.

隨著該轉臺104的指引持續進行,晶粒便循序地移動至預加熱位置3至8(153至158)。該指引步驟結束於位置8,該等晶粒係加熱至所期望的溫度。在下一個指引步驟之後,該等晶粒係於位置9(159)處被該接合工具配件130所拾取。該接合工具配件130接著利用接合加熱器132提升該晶粒的溫度,並接著將該晶粒接合至基板。As the guidance of the turntable 104 continues, the dies are sequentially moved to the preheating positions 3 to 8 (153 to 158). The directing step ends at position 8, and the dies are heated to the desired temperature. After the next guiding step, the dies are picked up by the bonding tool assembly 130 at position 9 (159). The bonding tool assembly 130 then lifts the temperature of the die using the bond heater 132 and then bonds the die to the substrate.

就上述實施例而言,該轉臺移動所需的實際時間係0.2秒,以及預加熱該晶粒的2.8秒延遲。新的晶粒接著被放置於位置1(151)處,也就是說,每三秒指引一個晶粒。在此實施例中,該等預加熱器110中每一者均被設定在固定溫度223℃。然後,該晶粒溫度在18秒內從20℃上升至200℃。此加熱過程提供該等晶粒每秒10℃的平均升降率。類似地,該接合加熱器132的溫度係設定在260℃以有效地實施該晶粒與該基板之間的接合步驟。With the above embodiment, the actual time required for the turret to move was 0.2 seconds, and a 2.8 second delay in preheating the die. The new die is then placed at position 1 (151), that is, one die is directed every three seconds. In this embodiment, each of the preheaters 110 is set at a fixed temperature of 223 °C. Then, the grain temperature was raised from 20 ° C to 200 ° C in 18 seconds. This heating process provides an average rate of rise and fall of the grains of 10 ° C per second. Similarly, the temperature of the bonding heater 132 is set at 260 ° C to effectively carry out the bonding step between the die and the substrate.

就此實施例而言,矽晶粒係10mm乘10mm且具有厚度0.75mm。該等晶粒係置放於該等預加熱器110下方0.2mm處。在某些實施例中,指引時間、預加熱器110與接合加熱器132的溫度、晶粒置放…等可由電腦輸入所控制。此部份詳述於第7圖。應了解到,本發明並不受限於所述之實施例。也可使用不同的晶粒尺寸、不同的預加熱器110與接合加熱器132溫度、不同的指引時間與不同的晶粒置放,端視所應用的特定參數而定。對於個別元件的所有此等改變均視為落於本發明實施例之範疇內。For this embodiment, the tantalum grain is 10 mm by 10 mm and has a thickness of 0.75 mm. The die is placed 0.2 mm below the preheater 110. In some embodiments, the pilot time, the temperature of the pre-heater 110 and the bond heater 132, the die placement, etc., can be controlled by computer input. This section is detailed in Figure 7. It should be understood that the invention is not limited to the embodiments described.

上述該晶粒預加熱器100提供數種超越先前技術的優點。由於不再使用該接合加熱器來預加熱,所以製造接合至基板之晶粒所需的時間週期可大幅縮短。舉例而言,在使用單一預加熱器的實驗測試中,每三秒鐘可製造一個組裝好的晶粒/基板。亦如上所述,可在單一晶粒接合機加入多個預加熱器,以增進晶粒接合程序的效率。The grain preheater 100 described above provides several advantages over the prior art. Since the bonding heater is no longer used for preheating, the time period required to manufacture the die bonded to the substrate can be greatly shortened. For example, in an experimental test using a single preheater, an assembled die/substrate can be fabricated every three seconds. As also noted above, multiple preheaters can be added to a single die bonder to increase the efficiency of the die bonding process.
