Description
技术领域
本发明涉及一种半导体晶片的处理方法,该半导体晶片具有形成在前表面上的低电介质绝缘膜、由网格道形成的多个电路以及部分形成在各网格道上测试金属图案,本发明还涉及一种激光束处理装置。
背景技术
本领域的技术人员应该知道在半导体器件的制造方法中,半导体晶片在基本上呈盘状的半导体基底的前表面上具有多个被网格道(切割线)分划的区域,在该分划区域中形成例如IC或LSI的电路,沿着网格道将该半导体晶片切割分为单独的半导体芯片。沿着半导体晶片网格道的切割通常由称为“切块机”的切割设备完成。该切割设备包括一用于保持作为工件的半导体晶片的吸盘台,一用于切割被保持在吸盘台上的半导体晶片的切割装置,一用于吸盘台与切割装置彼此相对移动的移动装置。该切割装置包括一高速旋转的旋转轴和固定在轴上的切割刀。该切割刀包括一盘状基体和一环状边缘,该环状边缘形成在基体的侧壁上,通过电铸沉积将直径约为3μm的钻石磨粒附着基底上形成大约20μm的厚度。
最近几年中,为了提高诸如IC或LSI电路的产量,提供了一种半导体晶片,其具有一层低电介质绝缘膜(低k膜),该低电介质绝缘膜由一层无机材料膜(如SiOF或BSF(SiOB))或一层有机材料膜(如聚酰亚胺基或聚对二甲苯基聚合体)构成,所述材料膜层叠在半导体基底(硅晶片)的前表面上。因为低电介质绝缘膜由多层(5至15层)类似云母和极脆物层叠,当用切割刀片沿着网格道切割半导体晶片时,该低电介质绝缘膜会被剥落,剥落的低电介质绝缘膜落在电路上,对半导体芯片产生致命打击。
为了解决上述问题,JP-A2003-320466披露了一种处理装置,它发出一个激光束,激光束射在网格道的低电介质绝缘膜上,以去除低电介质绝缘膜,并且用切割刀沿着已去除的低电介质绝缘膜上的网格道切割半导体晶片。
然而,在一个具有测试金属图案的半导体晶片中,这个半导体晶片被称作“测试元件组(Test Element Group)”,其用于测试部分形成在网格道上的低电介质绝缘膜上每个电路的作用,这带来一个问题,即使当激光束用于去除低电介质绝缘膜,由铜或铝制成的金属膜会干涉激光束而不能平滑去除低电介质绝缘膜。作为对策,当用于网格道上的激光束其输出量一旦增大到可去除金属图案的程度时,产生了新的问题,即只有低电介质绝缘膜形成的网格道部分的半导体基底被切断,其散落的碎片粘附到连接电路的电连接片上,由此使半导体芯片恶化。

下文将顺序描述利用上述激光束处理装置处理半导体晶片工件的激光束处理方法。
图3是将要用本发明的激光束处理方法处理的半导体晶片的立体图,图4是形成在图3所示半导体晶片上的网格道211的截面放大图。在图3及图4所示的半导体晶片20中,被半导体基底21(例如硅晶片)的前表面21a上的多个网格道(切割线)分划为多个区域,并且诸如IC或LSI的电路212形成在每个分划区域上。在该半导体晶片20中,低电介质绝缘膜213层叠在半导体基底21的前表面上,多个测试金属图案214被部分形成在每个网格道211上,它们被称为“测试元件组”,用于测试电路212的作用。
如图1所示,半导体晶片20置于组成激光束处理装置1的吸盘台机构3的吸盘台36的吸附卡盘361上,使得前侧21a面朝上,并且吸附卡盘361可以吸附和支持半导体晶片。吸附着半导体晶片20的吸盘台通过移动装置37沿着导轨31和31移动,并被定位在置于激光束部件5上的对准装置6的右下方(right below)。
吸盘台36被定位在对准装置6的右下方之后,用于探测将被处理的半导体晶片处理区域的对准工作通过对准装置6和控制装置100实现。即对准装置6和控制装置100进行图像处理,例如图案匹配,激光束部件5的聚光器524以预定方向对准形成在半导体晶片20上的网格道211,其中激光束部件5用于沿网格道211照射激光束,由此实现激光束的定位。类似的,对垂直于上述预设方向延伸且形成在半导体晶片20上的网格道211实现激光束的位置的对准。
探测到保持在吸盘台36上的形成于半导体晶片20上的网格道211并完成如上所述的激光束的位置对准之后,移动吸盘台36,如图5a所示,将预设网格道211的一端(图示的左端)带至探测装置7的右下方的一个位置。接着每个作为特定构件形成在网格道211上的金属图案214区域位置被定位,即,吸盘台36在箭头X1所示方向上移动,直到探测装置7到达如图5b所示预设网格道211的另一端(图中的右端),在此期间中,探测装置7探测在X方向上每个金属图案214一端至另一端的X方向坐标值,并将该探测到的坐标值发送至控制装置100(网格道探测步骤)。控制装置100将形成在网格道211上的每个金属图案214的输入X方向坐标值临时存储在随机存取存储器(RAM)103中。
然后,如图6a所示,移动吸盘台36,将具有金属图案214的预设网格道211的另一端(图中的右端)带至激光束部件52的聚光器524的右下方,其中,该金属图案214的X方向坐标值已经被探测到。吸盘台36然后以预设的处理进给速度在箭头X2所示的方向上移动。在吸盘台36沿着箭头X2所示方向到达聚光器524右下方的移动过程中,上述网格道探测步骤探测到每个金属图案214的X方向坐标值,在此期间,该控制装置100输出控制信号至激光束部件52,使来自聚光器524的激光束射到金属图案214上,以便去除金属图案214。以及,如图6b所示,在预定网格道211的一端(图中所示的左端)到达激光束部件52的聚光器524的右下方之前,只有网格道211上的多个金属图案被去除(金属图案去除步骤)。
下述处理环境为所示实施例中上述金属图案去除步骤设置。每个金属图案214的厚度设置为5μm。
处理环境:金属图案去除步骤
光源:YAG激光器或YVO4激光器
波长:355nm(紫外辐射)
输出:1.0W
重复频率:50kHz
脉冲宽度:10ns
聚焦斑直径:25μm
进给速度:50mm/sec
通过完成如上所述的金属图案去除步骤去除形成在网格道211上的金属图案214之后,已去除金属图案214的预设网格道211的一端(图中所示的左端)被带至如图7a所示的激光束部件52的聚光器524的右下方。然后在吸盘台36以预定的进给速度沿箭头X1所示方向移动时,控制装置100输出一控制信号至激光束部件52,将来自聚光器524的激光束射到低电介质绝缘膜231上。结果,如图7b所示,在聚光器524到达预定网格道211另一端(图中的右端)之前,形成在网格道211上的低电介质绝缘膜213被去除(低电介质绝缘膜去除步骤)。
下述处理环境为所示实施例中上述低电介质绝缘膜去除步骤设置。每个低电介质绝缘膜213的厚度设置为10μm。
处理环境:低电介质绝缘膜去除步骤
光源:YAG激光器或YVO4激光器
波长:355nm(紫外辐射)
输出:0.5W
重复频率:50kHz
脉冲宽度:10ns
聚焦斑直径:25μm
进给速度:100mm/sec
沿着预设网格道211完成网格道探测步骤、金属图案去除步骤和低电介质绝缘膜去除步骤之后,该吸盘台36,即,保持在吸盘台36上的半导体晶片20沿着箭头Y所示方向移过相邻网格道211之间的间隙,以完成上述网格道探测步骤,类似地完成金属图案去除步骤和低电介质绝缘膜运动步骤。网格道探测步骤之后,对所有在预设方向上延伸的网格道211完成金属图案去除步骤和低电介质绝缘膜运动步骤,该吸盘台36,即,保持在吸盘台36上的半导体晶片20被旋转90°,对在垂直上述预设方向上延伸的网格道211完成上述网格道探测步骤、金属图案去除步骤和低电介质绝缘膜去除步骤,由此去除形成在半导体晶片20上所有网格道211的金属图案214和低电介质绝缘膜213。
在上述实施例中,作为金属图案去除步骤和低电介质绝缘膜去除步骤的处理环境,激光束的输出和处理进给速度被改变。然而,只是它们中之一可被改变。
在上述实施例中,对每个网格道分别完成网格道探测步骤、金属图案去除步骤和低电介质绝缘膜去除步骤。然而,可对所有的网格道在金属膜去除步骤和低电介质绝缘膜去除步骤之前完成网格道探测步骤,并将所有网格道上的探测信息存储在随机存取存储器(RAM)103中。
在去除如上所述的半导体晶片20的所有形成在网格道211上的金属图案214和低电介质绝缘膜213之后,保持着半导体晶片20的吸盘台36返回到第一次吸附保持半导体晶片20的位置,以取消对半导体晶片20的吸附保持。然后该半导体晶片20通过未示出的运送装置被带到切块步骤。在该切块步骤中,用具有切割刀的切割机沿着网格道211切割半导体晶片20,并将其分为单个的半导体芯片。因为已经在该点去除了形成在网格道211上的金属图案214和低电介质绝缘膜213,可事先防止在刀片切割低电介质绝缘膜时剥皮的发生。
下面将描述本发明的另一实施例。
在上述实施例中,是在先于金属图案去除步骤和低电介质绝缘去除步骤的网格道探测步骤中探测形成在半导体晶片20的每个网格道211上的金属图案214的X方向的坐标值的。然而该金属图案去除步骤和低电介质绝缘去除步骤可在不执行网格道探测步骤的情况下完成。即,形成在半导体晶片20上的网格道211和形成在每个网格道211上的金属图案214的设计位置和尺寸信息预先存储在只读存储器(ROM)102中或是任选存储在控制装置100的随机存取存储器中。通过基于存储在只读存储器(ROM)或随机存取存储器(RAM)103的信息完成上述金属图案去除步骤和低电介质绝缘膜步骤,形成在半导体晶片20的所有网格道211上的金属图案214和低电介质绝缘膜213可不经过网格道探测步骤而被去除。
在上述实施例中,完全独立地完成了金属图案去除步骤和低电介质绝缘膜去除步骤。然而,在处理每个网格道211时,当提供的激光束在只有低电介质绝缘膜213的区域和同时具有低电介质绝缘膜213和金属图案214的区域之间其激光束处理环境交替地改变,可在一次处理进给工序中完成金属图案去除步骤和低电介质绝缘膜去除步骤。
根据本发明,由于激光束在如上所述不同处理环境下射到形成在半导体晶片网格道上的低电介质绝缘膜和测试金属图案上,该低电介质膜和金属图案可不损害半导体基底和电路而被平滑地去除。
