Abstract

本發明之課題係於分斷裝置中,可將載置有脆性材料基板之平台旋轉180°以上。
將保持著成為分斷對象之脆性材料基板之切割環保持於平台47上。平台47係被保持於於外周部分形成有齒輪之圓形之齒輪45之內側,可藉由驅動單元34使平台47旋轉180°以上。以位於齒輪45及平台47之鏈線纜33之上部之方式配置,且藉由將鏈線纜33之長度較先前更為加長而確保180°以上之旋轉角度。

Description

分斷裝置
本發明係關於分斷經由黏著材料安裝於切割環之脆性材料基板之分斷裝置,尤其係關於可以任意之角度將脆性材料基板載置於平台之分斷裝置者。
於專利文獻1,揭示有將設置半導體晶圓之切割環保持於平台上,且自其上部按壓分斷條而分斷之分斷裝置。於該分斷裝置中,於保持於平台上之切割環之半導體晶圓預先以格子狀形成劃線。於將基板分斷成格子狀之情形,沿著1條劃線按壓分斷條而進行分斷。且,於一定方向平行地移動平台,且依次沿著多條劃線而分斷半導體晶圓。接著使平台旋轉約90°,沿著垂直於已分斷之劃線之劃線同樣地依次按壓分斷條而進行分斷,且於一定方向平行地移動平台。如此依次沿著多條劃線分斷半導體晶圓。
[先前技術文獻] [專利文獻]
[專利文獻1]日本專利特開2014-83821號公報
於如此之先前之分斷裝置中,若結束某方向之分斷則有必要使平台90°旋轉,但平台可旋轉之角度僅限於約90°。因此於開始分斷前以已經形成之劃線與分斷條正確平行之方式載置切割環,於全部結束 沿著與分斷條平行之全部劃線之分斷後,有必要將平台90°旋轉,將分斷條與其他劃線平行後進行分斷。
最初劃線未以與分斷條正確平行之方式載置,適當地將切割環載置於平台者可於短時間結束載置。於該情形若劃線以與分斷條平行之方式旋轉後進行分斷,則於該分斷結束後,有必要進而90°旋轉平台而沿著剩餘之劃線進行分斷。因此,以該方法有必要將平台以最大限度180°旋轉。
本發明係著眼於此種問題點而完成者,其目的在於提供一種可180°以上旋轉平台之分斷裝置。
為了解決該課題,本發明之分斷裝置係分斷形成有劃線之脆性材料基板者,且具備:平台,其保持上述脆性材料基板;轉動機構,其使上述平台至少旋轉180°;平行移動機構,其使上述平台沿著其面平行移動;升降機構,其使分斷條相對於上述平台上之脆性材料基板之劃線升降;及控制機構,其以如下方式進行控制:藉由上述轉動機構使上述平台旋轉,且藉由上述平行移動機構使上述平台水平移動而與劃線一致,而使分斷條下降。
此處上述分斷裝置亦可具備監視被保持於上述平台上之脆性材料基板之劃線之相機,且上述控制機構係基於自上述相機獲得之脆性材料基板之圖像,以使劃線與分斷條平行之方式藉由上述轉動機構使平台旋轉者。
此處上述轉動機構亦可為具有:基環,其將上述平台旋轉自由地保持;驅動單元,其具有驅動齒輪,且使上述平台旋轉;及齒輪,其設置於上述基環,至少形成有180°之齒且與上述驅動單元之驅動齒輪嚙合者。
此處上述轉動機構亦可為包含:驅動單元,其具有驅動齒輪, 且使上述平台旋轉;基台,其保持貫通孔及上述驅動單元;圓形之交叉滾柱軸承,其係外環安裝於上述基台之貫通孔,且將內環設為自由旋轉;基環,其安裝於上述交叉滾柱軸承之內環;齒輪,其設置於上述基環之外周,至少形成有180°之齒,且與上述驅動單元之驅動齒輪嚙合;平台,其被保持於上述基環;及環壓制單元,其設置於上述基環之平台之外周部,且藉由轉動自由之臂而保持具有上述脆性材料基板之切割環者。
根據具有如此特徵之本發明之分斷裝置,可將平台旋轉180°以上。又,於請求項2之發明中,即使任意角度將切割環配置於平台上,亦可藉由相機確認環上之劃線。因此,可於劃線以與分斷條平行之方式旋轉驅動後,進行分斷。如此於將切割環載置於平台時,無須正確地平行地配置劃線與分斷條,可獲得可大幅提升作業效率之效果。

於本實施形態中,成為分斷對象之脆性材料基板係採用半導體晶圓。半導體晶圓為了分離成晶片而藉由圓環之框狀體即切割環51或55保持。於各自之切割環之內側向上貼附有具有黏著材料之黏著膠帶,且於其上表面中央保持成為分斷對象之圓形之半導體晶圓。於半導體晶圓預先以格子狀形成多條劃線。
於本實施形態之旋轉機構30中,為了可將平台47旋轉180°以上,使用於全周設置有齒之齒輪45。又,如圖7所示,以位於鏈線纜33之上部之方式配置平台之旋轉機構,且藉由鏈線纜33之長度較先前更長而確保旋轉機構整體之尺寸不會變大且旋轉角度為180°以上。
圖11~圖15係顯示自12英吋用切割環51更換為8英吋用切割環55之過程之圖。首先於圖11中12英吋之切割環51安裝於平台47上,藉由環壓制單元60之12英吋用之短壓臂64固定切割環51之周圍。將此作為第1狀態。此處,於自12英吋之切割環51更換為8英吋用之切割環55之情形,首先如圖12所示將4個環壓制單元60之壓臂64轉動90°並朝上。藉此可卸除12英吋之切割環51。因此,同時卸除切割環51與其下部之 彈性板52。接著如圖13所示將環狀之保護定位板53載置於玻璃平台47之上部。進而如圖14所示將環壓制單元60之臂更換為較長之8英吋用之壓臂67。接著,將8英吋用之彈性板54載置於保護定位板53之中央之開口部分,如圖15所示將切割環55配置於塊49上,且藉由轉動壓臂67固定切割環55之周圍。將此作為第2狀態。如此,可使用同一分斷裝置將8英吋用與12英吋用之任一切割環51或55固定於平台47上。
接著於該實施形態中,如圖16中顯示分斷裝置整體之概略圖般,於水平固定構件13水平設置有支柱71,於該支柱71朝下方設置有相機72。該相機72係檢測切割環上之半導體晶圓之劃線狀態者。又如圖中虛線所示,於水平固定構件13之下方之壓下分斷條之位置之側下方設置有自下方向平台上之半導體晶圓進行拍攝而檢測劃線之相機73。
接著針對本實施形態之分斷裝置之控制器之構成使用方塊圖進行說明。圖17係分斷裝置之控制器80之方塊圖。控制器80係控制平台之旋轉與平行移動及分斷條之升降之控制機構。於本圖中,來自相機72、73之輸出係經由控制器80之圖像處理部81而被賦予至控制部82。輸入部83係輸入與脆性材料基板之分斷相關之資料者。於控制部82連接有監視器84、用以使分斷條上下移動之分斷條驅動部85、用以使平台旋轉之平台旋轉驅動部86、及Y軸驅動部87。分斷條驅動部85係驅動伺服馬達14而使分斷條上下移動者。又平台旋轉驅動部86係驅動設置於基台31之驅動單元34之馬達88者。Y軸驅動部87係驅動使載台11向y軸方向驅動之馬達89者。
此處,上述圖2所示之旋轉機構30與圖17所示之平台旋轉驅動部86及馬達88構成使平台至少180°旋轉之轉動機構。Y軸移動機構12與Y軸驅動部87及馬達89構成使載台向y軸方向移動之平行移動機構。又,上述升降機構與分斷條驅動部85構成使分斷條相對於劃線升降之 升降機構。
接著針對半導體晶圓之分斷方法進行說明。首先於載台11將任一切割環例如切割環51設置於旋轉機構之平台47上。採用於切割環51預先載置有半導體晶圓者。於該狀態下如圖16所示以相機72檢測半導體晶圓之劃線。接著以使分斷條與形成之劃線平行之方式,經由平台旋轉驅動部86驅動控制單元34之馬達88而使平台47旋轉。
若分斷條與劃線成為平行狀態,則驅動Y軸驅動部87,以最外側之劃線位於分斷條之正下方之方式使載台11向y軸方向移動。若劃線在分斷條之正下方,則使用分斷條驅動部85驅動伺服馬達14,使上移動構件17與下移動構件20同時降低,一面相對於載台11垂直保持分斷條一面緩緩下降,藉由沿著半導體晶圓之劃線按壓刀尖進行分斷。如此彈性板52經分斷條按壓而略變形為V字狀。且藉由使分斷條充分下降,沿著劃線完成分斷。若分斷完成,則使伺服馬達14反轉而使分斷條上升。然後使分斷條一度上升,將Y軸驅動部87驅動,僅將平台移動相當於鄰接之劃線之間隔之長度,成為任一劃線位於分斷條之正下方。且,若鄰接之劃線與分斷條成為平行狀態,則使用分斷條驅動部85將分斷條向下方向驅動,藉由沿著半導體晶圓之劃線按壓刀尖而分斷。如此藉由分斷條之升降與向y軸方向之折返移動,可針對一定方向之劃線完成全部之分斷。
接著若完成該一定方向之分斷,則藉由平台旋轉驅動部86使載台11自現在之位置90°旋轉,再次以與已分斷之劃線垂直之劃線平行於分斷條之方式設定。且可同樣地藉由沿著劃線按壓分斷條進行分斷。然後使載台11向y軸方向僅移動劃線之間距距離,同樣地使分斷條21下降。如此藉由分斷條之升降與向y軸方向之折返移動,可完成整面之分斷,將半導體晶圓分斷成格子狀。
如此於設置切割環之步驟中劃線與分斷條無須以正確平行之方 式載置,可獲得可大幅簡化作業步驟之效果。
另於該實施形態中,雖成為分斷對象之脆性材料基板係採用半導體晶圓進行說明,但其他脆性材料基板同樣可適用本發明。
另於該實施形態中,因將經劃線之半導體晶圓載置於可180°旋轉之平台上,故於載置時無須符合於以與切割環之直線狀之邊平行之方式載置劃線之時,簡單地載置於平台47上即可。其後藉由適當地旋轉平台47,可將切割環上之半導體晶圓之劃線與分斷條平行,且可沿著劃線進行分斷。
另,於本實施形態中齒輪45雖為於全周形成齒者,但因以180°以上旋轉平台47之方式構成即可,故齒輪45亦可為至少於半周以上之外周部形成齒之齒輪。
又於本實施形態中,劃線雖採用正交者,但無需一定以正交之方式形成。劃線亦可以任意之角度交叉之方式形成,並對準於該線而進行分斷,可獲得菱形或三角形等之形狀之晶片。
進而於該實施形態中,雖將半導體晶圓保持於張開於環狀之切割環之黏著膠帶上,但因為可保持於平台上者即可,故並無必要必須使用切割環等。
於設為簡單將平台旋轉180°以上者之情形,並非必須有相機72、73。又於不使用相機72之情形,將任一切割環保持於平台上,且以Y軸驅動部87將平台47移動至分斷條之正下方後,亦可藉由相機73檢測劃線並以與分斷條平行之方式轉動平台。於如此檢測劃線使劃線與分斷條平行之情形,有任一相機即可。
又,於該實施形態中雖將平台保持為較大之齒輪狀,但於自由地旋轉平台時並未限定於齒輪之驅動,例如亦可使用皮帶或轉盤而自由旋轉。
[產業上之可利用性]
