Description

晶圓的加工方法
發明領域
本發明是有關於一種將藉由複數條分割預定線而被區劃成複數個元件的晶圓分割成一個個的元件晶片之晶圓的加工方法。
發明背景
將IC、LSI等複數個元件以分割預定線區劃而形成於正面的晶圓，是藉由具備有切削刀的切割裝置而分割成一個個的元件晶片，並將元件晶片利用於行動電話、個人電腦等電氣機器上。
近年來，為了謀求元件的高速化，已知的作法為：在矽晶圓等之半導體基板的正面，形成複數層低介電常數絕緣膜、即所謂之Low-k膜作為層間絕緣膜，並且形成成為IC、LSI之機能層。於此，由於Low-k膜是形成於晶圓的正面側整體，所以也會積層於分割預定線上，當以切削刀將其切斷時，會使Low-k膜如雲母般剝離，並有降低元件的品質之問題。
於是，已有下述方案被提出且提供於實用：從晶圓的正面側照射雷射光線並沿著分割預定線去除Low-k膜，而將切削刀定位在該已去除的區域上，並藉由 切割(dicing)的方式來分割成一個個的元件晶片(參照例如專利文獻1)。
先前技術文獻 專利文獻
專利文獻1：日本專利特開2005-064231號公報
發明概要
根據上述之專利文獻1中記載的加工方法，雖然可將藉由直接切割來去除Low-k膜的情況下產生的問題解決，但是為了超過切削刀的寬度來將Low-k膜從切割道(street)上去除，以免切削刀接觸到Low-k膜，必須在分割預定線上形成至少2條雷射加工溝，而有導致生產性變差的問題。
此外，在實施上述專利文獻1中所記載的加工方法之中，已經很清楚的是會有例如以下的問題。
(1)即便實施將雷射光線照射於晶圓的正面側來去除Low-k膜的雷射開槽，若Low-k膜的去除不完全時，可能會有發生之後實施的切割時的切削刀的偏移或傾斜，而導致該切削刀偏摩耗的情形。
(2)由於從晶圓的正面側進行雷射開槽時，會因所謂碎屑飛散而導致元件的品質降低，所以必須另外塗佈用來防止其發生的保護膜，因而使生產性降低。
(3)由於照射複數次雷射光線，使熱應變殘留於晶圓上，而有導致元件的抗折強度的降低之虞。
(4)由於要將雷射加工溝形成得寬度較寬，以超過切削刀的寬度，因此變得必須有寬度較寬的切割道，而導致用於形成元件的區域受到壓迫，且元件的拾取個數減少。
(5)在Low-k膜的上表面有用於保護內部隔絕於外界的水分或金屬離子之由SiN或SiO2所構成的鈍化膜，當從晶圓的正面側照射雷射光線時，會成為穿透該鈍化膜來加工Low-k膜之情形，使在Low-k膜產生的熱之散逸空間失去，因而使Low-k膜剝離等，導致加工朝橫向方向擴大(亦稱為「側蝕(undercut)」)，而成為降低元件的品質之要因。
據此，本發明之目的在於提供一種晶圓的加工方法，其可以將在晶圓的正面積層複數層的層間絕緣膜以形成機能層，並且藉由複數條分割預定線而區劃成複數個元件的晶圓，在不降低元件的品質之情形下，有效率地分割成一個個的元件晶片。
根據本發明，可提供一種晶圓的加工方法，其是將藉由交叉之複數條分割預定線所區劃而在正面形成有複數個元件之晶圓，分割成一個個的元件晶片，該晶圓的加工方法具備有框架支撐步驟、背面磨削步驟、切削溝形成步驟、切斷步驟、及拾取步驟，該框架支撐步驟是將黏著膠帶貼附於晶圓之正面，並且將該黏著膠帶之外周貼附在具有收容該晶圓之開口部的環狀框架上，而透過該黏 著膠帶以該環狀框架來支撐該晶圓，該背面磨削步驟是在實施該框架支撐步驟之後，磨削該晶圓之背面來進行薄化，該切削溝形成步驟是在實施該背面磨削步驟之後，從該晶圓之背面對應於分割預定線來定位切削刀並形成未到達正面之切割溝，該切斷步驟是在實施該切削溝形成步驟之後，從該晶圓的背面沿著該切削溝照射雷射光線以將該分割預定線完全地切斷，該拾取步驟是在實施該切斷步驟之後，從該黏著膠帶中拾取一個個的元件晶片。
根據本發明之晶圓的加工方法，不需要在晶圓的正面形成複數個雷射加工溝，而可提升生產性，並且解決如上述之問題點。此外，可做到於使拾取用之筒夾(collet)從元件的背面側作用，以從黏著膠帶拾取分割後的一個個的元件晶片之後，以該狀態原樣將元件晶片的正面側黏結(bonding)至配線基板，而能夠進一步提升生產性。

用以實施發明之形態
以下，針對本發明的晶圓的加工方法的實施形態，參照附加圖式以詳細地說明。
圖1中所示為以本發明的晶圓的加工方法所實施之框架支撐步驟，該框架支撐步驟是透過黏著膠帶將晶圓10支撐於框架。更具體來說，是如圖1(a)所示，將黏著膠帶T貼附在晶圓10的正面10a側，並且將黏著膠帶T之外周貼附在具有收容晶圓10之開口部的環狀框架F上，且透過黏著膠帶T而以環狀框架F來支撐晶圓10。藉此，晶圓10會成為晶圓10之正面10a側透過黏著膠帶T而被環狀框架F所支撐之情形。如此進行，晶圓10成為被環狀框架F所支撐之狀態後，如圖1(b)所示，形成為使晶圓10之背面10b側露出於上方，且透過黏著膠帶T而被環狀框架F所支撐的狀態，即完成框架支撐步驟。再者，圖1所示之晶圓10是由例如厚度為700μm的矽基板所構成，且於正面10a將複數條分割預定線12形成為格子狀，並且在以該複數條分割預定線12所區劃出的複數個區域中形成有IC、LSI等的元件14。
在實施該框架支撐步驟之後，接著實施背面磨削步驟。如圖2所示，在該背面磨削步驟中，是進行成將貼附有黏著膠帶T之正面10a側朝向下方，並將成為被磨削面之背面10b側朝向上方，來載置在磨削裝置(省略整體 圖)的磨削組件20所具備之圖未示的工作夾台上。該工作夾台是以可藉由圖未示之旋轉驅動機構而旋轉的方式構成，且該保持面是由多孔性材料所構成，並連接至圖未示之吸引組件上，而吸引保持晶圓10，以免在後述之磨削步驟時，晶圓10在該工作夾台上產生位置偏移等。
磨削組件20具備有用於對載置於工作夾台上之晶圓10進行磨削並薄化之構成，並且具備藉由圖未示之旋轉驅動機構而使其旋轉之主軸22、裝設在該主軸22的下端的安裝座23、以及安裝在該安裝座23的下表面的磨削輪24，並且於磨削輪24的下表面環狀地配設有複數個磨削磨石25。再者，雖非必須之構成，但宜以圍繞該工作夾台之外周的方式在例如4個地方設置把持環狀框架F之夾具，而以該夾具保持環狀框架F，並且將環狀框架F下拉成成為比該工作夾台之晶圓10的保持面更低的位置。如此一來，即可防止在後述的背面磨削時碰到磨削磨石25的情形，而不會有環狀框架F成為妨礙之情形。
已將晶圓10吸引保持在工作夾台上之後，即可使工作夾台在圖2中朝箭頭Fa所示之方向以例如300rpm進行旋轉，並且使磨削輪24在圖2中朝以箭頭22a所示之方向以例如6000rpm進行旋轉。並且，使磨削磨石25接觸於晶圓10的背面10b，將磨削輪24以例如1μm/秒的磨削進給速度朝向下方、亦即相對於該工作夾台垂直的方向磨削進給。此時，可以藉由圖未示的接觸式測量儀來一邊測量晶圓的厚度一邊進行磨削，且磨削晶圓10之背面 10b而將矽晶圓10磨削成預定之厚度(例如200μm)，即完成該背面磨削步驟。
已完成該背面磨削步驟之後，接著實施切削溝形成步驟。將已結束背面磨削步驟的晶圓10搬送到圖3(a)所示的具備有切削組件30的切削裝置(省略整體圖)。
將從磨削組件20搬送出的晶圓10搬送到圖3(a)所示的切削組件30的加工位置，並且將貼附有黏著膠帶T的正面10a側朝向下方來載置於配設在切削組件30之圖未示的工作夾台的保持面上。在磨削組件20中，較理想的也是以圍繞該工作夾台之外周的方式在例如4個地方設置把持環狀框架F之夾具，而以該夾具保持環狀框架F，並且將環狀框架F下拉成成為比該工作夾台之晶圓10的保持面更低的位置。
該切削組件30具備有保持已固定於旋轉主軸32的前端部的切削刀33的主軸殼體34。在實施形成切削溝的加工之時，可實施校準，該校準是使用可以藉由照射紅外線而從背面10b穿透晶圓10並對正面10a側拍攝之圖未示的撮像組件，來進行被吸引保持於該工作夾台的晶圓10的分割預定線12與切削刀33的對位。已實施該校準後，讓根據以該校準所得到之位置資訊而高速旋轉之切削刀33下降，且沿著被吸引保持在圖未示之工作夾台上之晶圓10的分割預定線12將切削刀33切入，並使該工作夾台與切削刀33在加工進給方向(箭頭X所示之方向)上相對移動。藉此，將作為切削部分的放大截面圖而顯示之如圖3(b)所 示之沿著分割預定線12的切削溝100，以從該晶圓10的背面10b側至未到達正面10a的深度、及預定的溝寬(例如30μm)來形成。再者，於正面10a側如所示地形成有Low-k膜10c，且該切削溝100是切削至未到達正面10a、亦即未到達Low-k膜10c的深度。該工作夾台是可旋轉自如地構成，且可以藉由使該工作夾台旋轉，而自如地變更晶圓10相對於切削刀33之方向。藉此，可以對應於晶圓10的所有的分割預定線12，從背面10b側形成上述切割溝100，而完成切削溝形成步驟並成為圖4所示之狀態。再者，圖3(b)是為了方便說明而強調並記載切削溝100之圖，並不是依照實際尺寸之構成。
已完成該切削溝形成步驟之後，實施將分割預定線12完全地切斷之切斷步驟。將已實施該切削溝形成步驟之晶圓10搬送至具備有圖5(a)所示之雷射加工組件40的雷射加工裝置(省略整體圖)，且在雷射加工裝置之圖未示的工作夾台的保持面上，將貼附有黏著膠帶T之正面側10a設成下方來載置。在雷射加工裝置中，較理想的也是在圍繞該工作夾台之外周於例如4個地方設置把持環狀框架F的夾具，且構成為以該夾具來保持環狀框架F。
在對載置於該工作夾台的晶圓10實施雷射加工之時，可實施校準，該校準是使用圖未示的撮像組件，來進行吸引保持於該工作夾台之晶圓10的分割預定線12與雷射頭(聚光器)42的對位。已實施該校準之後，依據該校準所得到的位置資訊，從被吸引保持於該工作夾台上的 晶圓10的背面10b側沿著分割預定線12照射對晶圓10具有吸收性之波長的雷射光線，並且使該工作夾台與該雷射頭42在加工進給方向(箭頭X所示之方向)上相對移動。藉此，如於圖5(b)作為放大截面圖而顯示地，在切削溝100的底部、亦即形成有Low-k膜10c的晶圓10的正面10a側，形成沿著分割預定線12將晶圓10和Low-k膜10c一起完全地切斷的切斷部102。該工作夾台是藉由圖未示的位置變更組件而以可自如地變更相對於雷射頭42的相對位置的方式構成，並藉由作動該位置變更組件以沿著晶圓10的所有的分割預定線12來形成切斷部102，而完成該切斷步驟。
再者，在本實施形態之切斷步驟中所實施的雷射加工條件，是設定成例如以下。
光源：YAG脈衝雷射
波長：355nm(YAG雷射的第三諧波)
輸出：3.0W
重複頻率：20kHz
進給速度：100mm/秒
已實施該切斷步驟之後，實施拾取步驟。在根據本發明所構成的晶圓的加工方法中，結束切斷步驟而沿著分割預定線12形成有切斷部102的晶圓10，是如圖6(a)所示，成為已透過黏著膠帶T被環狀框架F所支撐，而可以原樣實施拾取步驟的狀態。該拾取步驟是藉由圖6(b)中表示其一部分的拾取裝置60所實施的步驟，該拾取裝置60具備框架保持構件61、於其上表面部載置環狀框架F且 保持上述環狀框架F的夾具62、以及由至少上方開口的圓筒形狀所構成的擴張圓筒63，該擴張圓筒63是用於擴張已裝設於被該夾具62所保持的環狀框架F上之晶圓10。框架保持構件61是藉由支撐組件64而可升降地被支撐，且該支撐組件64是由設置成圍繞擴張圓筒63的複數個的汽缸64a、及從汽缸64a延伸之活塞桿64b所構成。
該擴張圓筒63是設定為比環狀框架F的內徑更小，且比貼附於已裝設於環狀框架F的黏著膠帶T上之晶圓10的外徑更大。於此，如圖6(b)所示，拾取裝置60可以設成使框架保持構件61與擴張圓筒63的上表面部成為大致相同高度的位置(以虛線表示)、以及可藉由支撐組件64的作用而使框架保持構件61下降，使擴張圓筒63的上端部成為比框架保持構件61的上端部更高的位置(以實線表示)。
當使上述框架保持構件61下降，而將擴張圓筒63的上端從以虛線表示的位置開始，相對地變化成比以實線表示的框架保持構件61更高的位置時，會使已裝設於環狀框架F的黏著膠帶T按壓於擴張圓筒63的上端緣而被擴張。其結果，由於有拉伸力放射狀地作用在貼附於黏著膠帶T的晶圓10，因此一個個的元件14彼此沿著在上述切斷步驟中沿分割預定線12形成的切斷部102而相遠離。並且，在已將一個個的元件14彼此的間隔擴大的狀態下，作動拾取筒夾65，並且將間隔已擴大之狀態下的元件14從背面側吸附並拾取。然後，搬送到黏結步驟，該黏結步驟是 將已拾取的元件14的正面側黏結到配線基板。藉由以上，結束拾取步驟，而完成依據本發明之晶圓的加工方法。
本發明是如由上述實施形態中可理解地，能夠發揮各種的作用效果。
例如，由於形成為從晶圓的背面側形成切削溝，並且從背面側照射雷射光線來將分割預定線完全地切斷，所以形成切削溝時並沒有藉由雷射加工形成的加工溝，因而可避免切削刀的偏移或傾斜，且可以防止切削刀偏摩耗之情形。
又，由於藉由從晶圓的背面側沿著在之前步驟所形成的切削溝照射雷射光線以進行成將分割預定線完全地切斷，所以不會有碎屑附著於元件的正面側之情形，而不需要形成保護膜等。又，由於不需要形成對應於切削刀的寬度之寬度較寬的雷射加工溝，所以能夠避免產生因照射複數次雷射光線而殘留熱應變且使元件的抗折強度降低等的問題。
此外，由於在從晶圓的背面側藉由切削刀形成切削溝之後，實施沿著該切削溝照射雷射光線來完全地切斷之切斷步驟，所以不需要將分割預定線的寬度做得較大，而不會有因為寬度較寬的分割預定線而導致可以取得的元件的個數減少等的問題。特別是，由於雷射光線的照射是從背面側實施，並且僅藉由雷射加工來對形成切削溝時的殘餘的部分進行切斷，所以也能夠避免如從正面側照射雷射光線來切斷晶圓的情況，因穿透鈍化膜來進行雷射 加工而失去的熱的散逸空間，且發生側蝕等的問題。
並且，如上述，藉由在實施背面磨削步驟之前，實施將晶圓10的正面10a側透過黏著膠帶T以環狀框架F保持的框架支撐步驟，而變得可在從背面磨削步驟到切斷步驟為止均不必使用另外的保護膠帶等並使晶圓10翻轉的情形下，將晶圓10完全地切斷成一個個的元件14，且以透過黏著膠帶T支撐於框架的狀態實施拾取步驟，因此不必於中途另外剝離所貼附的保護膠帶等，而可效率良好地且容易地實現在從黏著膠帶T中拾取元件14後，原樣將元件的正面黏結於配線基板之作業。
再者，本發明並不限定於上述之實施形態，且可設想有各種的變形例。例如，雖然上述之實施形態中，是在實施背面磨削步驟、切削溝形成步驟、切斷步驟時，將晶圓10搬送到配設於實施各步驟的磨削裝置、切削裝置、雷射加工裝置的每一個的工作夾台，而保持晶圓10來實施各加工，但也可形成為匯總上述各裝置來構成複合加工裝置，並且藉由將晶圓10保持於一個工作夾台上，且使該工作夾台移動到各加工裝置來實施加工。如此構成，即可在裝置間搬送晶圓10而不必更換裝載工作夾台。
