Description

LED衬底的划片方法Scribing method of LED substrate

技术领域 technical field

本发明涉及一种LED衬底的划片方法,尤其涉及一种使用飞秒激光对LED衬底进行划片的方法。The invention relates to a scribing method for an LED substrate, in particular to a method for scribing an LED substrate by using a femtosecond laser.

背景技术 Background technique

众所周知,LED晶圆是在蓝宝石或者碳化硅衬底上采用气相沉积的方法生长基于氮化镓系材料的发光有源层,目前普遍的LED晶圆尺寸为2英寸~4英寸。LED行业的发展、LED价格的降低以及发光效率的提升,带动了LED芯片的推广普及,从而也带动了应用于LED领域当中的各种技术。As we all know, the LED wafer is grown on the sapphire or silicon carbide substrate by vapor deposition method based on the light-emitting active layer of gallium nitride-based materials. At present, the size of the common LED wafer is 2 inches to 4 inches. The development of the LED industry, the reduction of LED prices and the improvement of luminous efficiency have driven the popularization of LED chips, which has also driven various technologies used in the LED field.

在LED芯片的加工过程中,首先要对LED衬底进行减薄,为了在应用封装前将各个LED芯片分离,还需要对减薄后的LED衬底背面划出沟槽,从而便于LED晶圆的裂片。常用的划片方法包括早期的金刚石道具切割到目前普遍流行的紫外纳秒量级的脉冲激光划线切割。但是激光划片存在的一个重要问题是,划片过程中焦点处过高的激光能量导致热损伤,从而导致划片附近的裂纹扩散,或者热熔现象导致的发光效率降低等。另外一个激光划片的问题就是划片效率,从早期的3片/小时到目前主流的10片/小时,划片效率的快慢成为激光划片机的核心竞争因素。In the process of LED chip processing, the LED substrate must first be thinned. In order to separate each LED chip before packaging, it is also necessary to draw a groove on the back of the thinned LED substrate, so that the LED wafer can be easily processed. of the lobes. The commonly used scribing methods include the early diamond prop cutting to the currently popular ultraviolet nanosecond pulse laser scribing cutting. However, an important problem in laser scribing is that the excessively high laser energy at the focal point during the scribing process causes thermal damage, which leads to the diffusion of cracks near the scribing, or the reduction of luminous efficiency caused by thermal melting. Another problem of laser scribing is the scribing efficiency. From the early 3 pieces/hour to the current mainstream 10 pieces/hour, the speed of scribing efficiency has become the core competitive factor of laser scribing machines.

图2示出了本实施例所采用的飞秒激光系统,包括:飞秒脉冲种子激光源12、激光放大扩束装置(包括激光放大器20、光闸21、扩束透镜组合装置、柱透镜11)、承载部件8、同步控制器22。Fig. 2 has shown the femtosecond laser system that the present embodiment adopts, comprises: femtosecond pulse seed laser source 12, laser amplification beam expander (comprising laser amplifier 20, shutter 21, beam expander lens combination device, cylindrical lens 11 ), the bearing part 8, and the synchronization controller 22.

其中,飞秒脉冲种子激光源12用于发出飞秒脉冲激光。作为一个非限制性的例子,本实施例中的飞秒脉冲种子激光源12可以由锁模的光纤飞秒激光器实现,具体参数如下:脉冲宽度介于20~150fs,中心波长800nm,重复频率为20~80MHz,脉冲能量介于nJ~μJ量级,所发出的圆形光斑直径为5mm~10mm。Wherein, the femtosecond pulse seed laser source 12 is used to emit femtosecond pulse laser. As a non-limiting example, the femtosecond pulse seed laser source 12 in this embodiment can be realized by a mode-locked fiber femtosecond laser, and the specific parameters are as follows: the pulse width is between 20 ~ 150fs, the center wavelength is 800nm, and the repetition rate is 20~80MHz, the pulse energy is in the order of nJ~μJ, and the diameter of the circular spot emitted is 5mm~10mm.

飞秒脉冲种子激光源12发出的飞秒脉冲激光依次经过激光放大器20、光闸21、第一凸透镜9和第二凸透镜10、柱透镜11后入射至承载部件8上的LED衬底。本实施例中该LED衬底包括堆叠的衬底100和外延层101,其中外延层101朝向承载部件8,衬底100朝向飞秒脉冲激光入射的方向,外延层101和承载部件8之间还可以设置有保护膜102,以防止对外延层101的损伤。The femtosecond pulse laser emitted by the femtosecond pulse seed laser source 12 passes through the laser amplifier 20, the shutter 21, the first convex lens 9, the second convex lens 10, and the cylindrical lens 11 in sequence, and then enters the LED substrate on the bearing part 8. In this embodiment, the LED substrate includes a stacked substrate 100 and an epitaxial layer 101, wherein the epitaxial layer 101 faces the carrying part 8, the substrate 100 faces the direction in which the femtosecond pulsed laser is incident, and there is a gap between the epitaxial layer 101 and the carrying part 8. A protective film 102 may be provided to prevent damage to the epitaxial layer 101 .

如图2所示,本实施例将LED衬底表面(更具体为衬底100上将要进行划片操作的表面)所在的平面定义为x-y平面,飞秒脉冲激光传播的方向定义为z方向,z方向垂直于x-y平面。As shown in FIG. 2, in this embodiment, the plane where the surface of the LED substrate (more specifically, the surface on which the scribing operation will be performed on the substrate 100) is located is defined as the x-y plane, and the direction in which the femtosecond pulsed laser propagates is defined as the z direction. The z direction is perpendicular to the x-y plane.

激光放大扩束装置用于对飞秒脉冲激光进行能量放大、扩束和线聚焦,输出线状光斑,该线状光斑的长度大于等于LED衬底的直径。本实施例中,该激光放大扩束装置包括:激光放大器20,对飞秒脉冲激光进行能量放大;扩束透镜组合装置,对来自激光放大器的激光束进行扩束,使其尺寸能够覆盖整个LED衬底;柱透镜11,对来自扩束透镜组合装置的激光束进行线聚焦,输出线状光斑。此外,该激光放大扩束装置还包括:光闸21,激光放大器20输出的激光束经过光闸后传输至扩束透镜组合装置,光闸21的开闭可以控制激光束是否出射。The laser amplification and beam expansion device is used for energy amplification, beam expansion and line focusing of the femtosecond pulsed laser, and outputs a linear spot whose length is greater than or equal to the diameter of the LED substrate. In this embodiment, the laser amplification and beam expansion device includes: a laser amplifier 20, which amplifies the energy of the femtosecond pulse laser; a beam expansion lens combination device, which expands the laser beam from the laser amplifier so that its size can cover the entire LED Substrate; Cylindrical lens 11, which performs line focusing on the laser beam from the beam expander lens combination device, and outputs a linear spot. In addition, the laser amplification and beam expansion device also includes: an optical gate 21, the laser beam output by the laser amplifier 20 is transmitted to the beam expander lens combination device after passing through the optical gate, and the opening and closing of the optical gate 21 can control whether the laser beam exits.

其中,扩束透镜组合装置包括第一圆形凸透镜9和第二圆形凸透镜10,激光束依次透过第一圆形凸透镜9和第二圆形凸透镜10之后出射,其中第一圆形凸透镜的焦距9小于第二圆形凸透镜10的焦距,且第一圆形凸透镜9和第二圆形凸透镜10之间的距离等于二者的焦距之和。更加具体地,第二圆形凸透镜10的焦距为第一圆形凸透镜9的焦距的5~10倍,使得光斑从原始尺寸5mm~10mm扩大至能够覆盖整个LED衬底,例如对于2寸的LED衬底,扩束后的激光束的直径为60mm,对于4寸或更大尺寸的外延片,可以使用更多组圆形凸透镜组合来不断扩大激光光斑尺寸。本实施例的飞秒激光系统还包括调节机构(图1中未示出),能够调节第一圆形凸透镜9和第二圆形凸透镜10沿光轴的位置,即能够带动第一圆形凸透镜9和第二圆形凸透镜10沿激光束传播的方向平移。Wherein, the beam expander lens combination device comprises a first circular convex lens 9 and a second circular convex lens 10, and the laser beam is emitted after passing through the first circular convex lens 9 and the second circular convex lens 10 in sequence, wherein the first circular convex lens The focal length 9 is smaller than the focal length of the second circular convex lens 10, and the distance between the first circular convex lens 9 and the second circular convex lens 10 is equal to the sum of their focal lengths. More specifically, the focal length of the second circular convex lens 10 is 5 to 10 times the focal length of the first circular convex lens 9, so that the light spot is enlarged from the original size of 5 mm to 10 mm to cover the entire LED substrate, for example, for a 2-inch LED For the substrate, the diameter of the expanded laser beam is 60 mm. For epitaxial wafers with a size of 4 inches or larger, more sets of circular convex lens combinations can be used to continuously expand the laser spot size. The femtosecond laser system of this embodiment also includes an adjustment mechanism (not shown in FIG. 1 ), which can adjust the positions of the first circular convex lens 9 and the second circular convex lens 10 along the optical axis, that is, can drive the first circular convex lens 9 and the second circular convex lens 10 translate along the direction of laser beam propagation.

扩束后的激光束经过柱透镜11,对激光束进行线聚焦,将光斑在x或y某一单一方向进行压缩,形成线状光斑。此外,本实施例中的调节结构也可以对柱透镜11进行平移,从而将线状光斑的聚焦位置调节至LED衬底中预定的区域,例如LED衬底表面或者内部。由于先前进行了扩束,因而柱透镜11出射的线状光斑的长度等于或者大于LED衬底的直径。The expanded laser beam passes through the cylindrical lens 11 to line-focus the laser beam and compress the spot in a single direction of x or y to form a linear spot. In addition, the adjustment structure in this embodiment can also translate the cylindrical lens 11, so as to adjust the focus position of the linear light spot to a predetermined area in the LED substrate, such as the surface or inside of the LED substrate. Due to the previous beam expansion, the length of the linear light spot emitted by the cylindrical lens 11 is equal to or greater than the diameter of the LED substrate.

本实施例中,承载部件8由步进电机(图2中未示出)驱动,能够带动LED衬底沿垂直于线状光斑的方向移动,例如沿x方向或者y方向移动。例如,可以将LED衬底在垂直于线状光斑的方向上划分为多步,步进电机带动LED衬底逐步移动,以使所述线状光斑逐步扫描整个LED衬底。In this embodiment, the carrying part 8 is driven by a stepping motor (not shown in FIG. 2 ), which can drive the LED substrate to move in a direction perpendicular to the linear light spot, for example, in the x direction or the y direction. For example, the LED substrate can be divided into multiple steps in a direction perpendicular to the linear light spot, and the stepping motor drives the LED substrate to move step by step, so that the linear light spot gradually scans the entire LED substrate.

同步控制器22可以对光闸21和步进电机进行同步控制,即控制步进电机带动LED衬底逐步扫描,并控制光闸21对应每一步扫描的曝光时间。本实施例中,同步控制器22发送出100Hz~200Hz的触发脉冲信号给步进电机和光闸21,设定了光闸21的曝光时间和步进电机停留在每一个扫描步骤的时间为5ms~10ms,从而使得每一扫描步骤中照射在LED衬底上的激光脉冲个数相同,均为5~10个,有利于保证被减薄的LED衬底表面具有良好的均匀性。The synchronous controller 22 can synchronously control the shutter 21 and the stepping motor, that is, control the stepping motor to drive the LED substrate to scan step by step, and control the exposure time of the shutter 21 corresponding to each scanning step. In this embodiment, the synchronous controller 22 sends a 100Hz~200Hz trigger pulse signal to the stepper motor and the shutter 21, and the exposure time of the shutter 21 and the time for the stepper motor to stay in each scanning step are set to 5ms~ 10ms, so that the number of laser pulses irradiated on the LED substrate in each scanning step is the same, which is 5-10, which is beneficial to ensure that the surface of the thinned LED substrate has good uniformity.

此外,本实施例中步进电机控制整个LED衬底在垂直于线状光斑的方向上进行一维方向的扫描,最终达到加工整个LED衬底的目的,这样的扫描方式与常规的反复的点阵列扫描相比,大大缩短了加工时间,提高了生产效率。In addition, in this embodiment, the stepper motor controls the entire LED substrate to perform one-dimensional scanning in the direction perpendicular to the linear spot, and finally achieves the purpose of processing the entire LED substrate. This scanning method is different from the conventional repeated point Compared with array scanning, the processing time is greatly shortened and the production efficiency is improved.

Fig. 2 shows the concrete structure of the laser amplifier in the present embodiment, mainly comprises: Glan prism 35, Faraday isolator 34, half-wave plate 33, laser cavity, pumping laser 40, wherein, laser cavity comprises: Concave mirror 24 , titanium sapphire crystal 25 , thin film polarizer 29 , Speckel cell 30 , first reflector 31 .

飞秒脉冲种子激光源12发出的飞秒脉冲激光经过反射镜36反射至格兰棱镜35,再经过格兰棱镜35反射后依次透过法拉第隔离器34和半波片33,之后通过反射镜32和28的反射后进入激光谐振腔,在激光谐振腔中,经过薄膜偏振片29的反射后进入普克尔盒30,透过普克尔盒30后被第一反射镜31再次反射回普克尔盒30,透过普克尔盒30后透过薄膜偏振片29传播至反射镜27,经过反射镜27、反射镜26的反射进入钛蓝宝石晶体25。另一方面,泵浦激光器40发出的泵浦激光经过凸透镜41后,由反射镜23反射进入激光谐振腔,在激光谐振腔中透过凹面镜24之后进入钛蓝宝石晶体25,泵浦激光和飞秒脉冲激光在钛蓝宝石晶体25上形成的光斑重合。The femtosecond pulsed laser light emitted by the femtosecond pulse seed laser source 12 is reflected by the mirror 36 to the Glan prism 35, and then passed through the Faraday isolator 34 and the half-wave plate 33 in sequence after being reflected by the Glan prism 35, and then passes through the reflector 32 Enter the laser resonant cavity after the reflection of and 28, in the laser resonant cavity, enter the Pockels cell 30 after the reflection of the film polarizer 29, after passing through the Pockels cell 30, it is reflected back to the Pockels by the first mirror 31 again The Pockels cell 30 passes through the Pockels cell 30 and then transmits to the reflector 27 through the film polarizer 29, and enters the titanium sapphire crystal 25 through the reflection of the reflector 27 and the reflector 26. On the other hand, the pumping laser light emitted by the pumping laser 40 passes through the convex lens 41, is reflected by the mirror 23 and enters the laser resonator cavity, and enters the titanium sapphire crystal 25 after passing through the concave mirror 24 in the laser resonator cavity. The light spots formed by the second pulse laser on the titanium sapphire crystal 25 overlap.

飞秒脉冲种子激光源12发出的飞秒脉冲激光经过激光放大器时,通过不断吸收泵浦激光器40的能量,使得飞秒脉冲激光的光脉冲能量从nJ-uJ量级达到mJ-J量级,重复频率为1kHz。激光放大器的具体工作过程为:首先由飞秒脉冲种子激光源12发出的飞秒脉冲激光通过平面反射镜36反射进入激光放大器中。在激光放大器中,泵浦激光器40发出波长为527nm的泵浦激光,泵浦激光经过凸透镜41和反射镜23进入放大谐振腔,该放大谐振腔的两侧分别为凹面镜24和第一反射镜31,腔内增益物质为钛蓝宝石晶体25。首先,泵浦激光的能量汇聚在钛蓝宝石晶体25上,使其达到粒子数反转,形成飞秒脉冲激光被放大的前提条件。另外,由反射镜36反射的飞秒脉冲激光经过格兰棱镜35反射,透过法拉第隔离器34以及半波片33,被反射镜32和28反射进入激光谐振腔,飞秒脉冲激光在激光谐振腔内经过振荡不断通过处于粒子数反转状态的钛蓝宝石晶体25上,使得飞秒脉冲激光的脉冲能量不断得到放大。而且,在激光谐振腔内安装有普克尔盒30以及薄膜偏振片29,使得激光谐振腔处于调Q运转状态,使得飞秒脉冲激光在激光谐振腔内振荡时处于P偏振态,当改变普克尔盒30的电压时,飞秒脉冲激光的偏振态转变为S偏振,从而被薄膜偏振片29反射到激光谐振腔外,再由反射镜28和32反射,使其再次通过半波片33和法拉第隔离器34,调节半波片33使输出激光由S偏正转变为P偏振,最后由格兰棱镜35透射输出能量为mJ-J的激光束,其重复频率为1KHz。该激光束经过柱透镜11线聚焦之后,焦点处的线状光斑的峰值功率为1012~1015W。When the femtosecond pulse laser emitted by the femtosecond pulse seed laser source 12 passes through the laser amplifier, the energy of the pump laser 40 is continuously absorbed, so that the optical pulse energy of the femtosecond pulse laser reaches the mJ-J level from the nJ-uJ level, The repetition rate is 1kHz. The specific working process of the laser amplifier is as follows: firstly, the femtosecond pulse laser emitted by the femtosecond pulse seed laser source 12 is reflected by the plane mirror 36 and enters the laser amplifier. In the laser amplifier, the pumping laser 40 emits pumping laser light with a wavelength of 527nm, and the pumping laser enters the amplifying resonant cavity through the convex lens 41 and the reflecting mirror 23, and the two sides of the amplifying resonating cavity are concave mirror 24 and the first reflecting mirror respectively 31. The gain material in the cavity is titanium sapphire crystal 25. Firstly, the energy of the pump laser is concentrated on the titanium sapphire crystal 25, so that it achieves population inversion and forms a precondition for the femtosecond pulsed laser to be amplified. In addition, the femtosecond pulsed laser reflected by the reflector 36 is reflected by the Glan prism 35, passes through the Faraday isolator 34 and the half-wave plate 33, is reflected by the reflectors 32 and 28 and enters the laser resonant cavity, and the femtosecond pulsed laser is in the laser resonator The cavity continuously passes through the titanium sapphire crystal 25 in the particle number inversion state through oscillation, so that the pulse energy of the femtosecond pulse laser is continuously amplified. Moreover, a Pockels cell 30 and a thin-film polarizer 29 are installed in the laser resonator, so that the laser resonator is in a Q-switched operating state, so that the femtosecond pulsed laser is in the P polarization state when it oscillates in the laser resonator. When the voltage of Kerr cell 30 is high, the polarization state of the femtosecond pulsed laser is transformed into S polarization, thereby reflected by the film polarizer 29 to the outside of the laser resonator, and then reflected by the mirrors 28 and 32, making it pass through the half-wave plate 33 again And the Faraday isolator 34, adjusting the half-wave plate 33 to convert the output laser from S polarization to P polarization, and finally the Glan prism 35 transmits the laser beam with the output energy of mJ-J, and its repetition frequency is 1KHz. After the laser beam is linearly focused by the cylindrical lens 11, the peak power of the linear spot at the focal point is 10 12 -10 15 W.

本实施例提供的飞秒激光系统通过极高瞬时能量的激光来气化宽禁带LED衬底材料,具体过程为:经过激光放大器放大的飞秒脉冲激光在经过柱透镜的聚焦,其瞬时能量达到指数级的增加,材料在线状光斑处会产生剧烈的非线性效应,从而产生多光子吸收过程,也就是说在激光焦点处,材料物质能够在同一时刻吸收多个光子能量,从而使得对于可见光透明的宽禁带物质(例如蓝宝石)可以吸收可见光波段的光子能量(例如飞秒激光通常位于近红外光波),从而达到分解衬底材料的目的。这样的过程极大地消除了激光加工中,材料对波长的选择性,大大灵活了激光加工材料的区域选择。而且,飞秒激光加工LED衬底过程中,衬底材料对激光脉冲能量的吸收过程是在飞秒时间内完成的,远远小于激光所产生的热传递到晶格的时间(通常为皮秒量级),因此消除了激光与材料的相互作用产生的热效应,从而彻底消除了热损伤对外延层的影响,此外激光加工区域的形貌质量也得到了改善。The femtosecond laser system provided in this embodiment vaporizes the wide-bandgap LED substrate material through a laser with extremely high instantaneous energy. Reaching an exponential increase, the material will produce a severe nonlinear effect at the linear spot, resulting in a multi-photon absorption process, that is to say, at the laser focus, the material substance can absorb multiple photon energies at the same time, so that for visible light Transparent wide-bandgap substances (such as sapphire) can absorb photon energy in the visible light band (such as femtosecond lasers are usually located in near-infrared light waves), so as to achieve the purpose of decomposing the substrate material. Such a process greatly eliminates the selectivity of materials to wavelength in laser processing, and greatly flexibly selects the area of laser processing materials. Moreover, during femtosecond laser processing of LED substrates, the absorption of laser pulse energy by the substrate material is completed within femtoseconds, which is much shorter than the time for the heat generated by the laser to transfer to the crystal lattice (usually picoseconds order of magnitude), thus eliminating the thermal effect caused by the interaction between the laser and the material, thereby completely eliminating the influence of thermal damage on the epitaxial layer, and the topography quality of the laser processed area is also improved.

图4是放置于承载部件8上的LED衬底的剖面图,图5是经过划片以后的LED衬底的俯视图,图6是划片后的LED衬底的剖面图,下面结合图2和图4至图6对本实施例的LED衬底的划片方法进行详细描述。Fig. 4 is a cross-sectional view of the LED substrate placed on the carrier part 8, Fig. 5 is a top view of the LED substrate after slicing, and Fig. 6 is a cross-sectional view of the LED substrate after slicing, the following is combined with Fig. 2 and 4 to 6 describe the scribing method of the LED substrate in this embodiment in detail.

首先提供LED衬底,该LED衬底包括衬底100和位于衬底100上的外延层101。First, an LED substrate is provided, and the LED substrate includes a substrate 100 and an epitaxial layer 101 on the substrate 100 .

之后将该LED衬底防止在承载部件8上,该LED衬底中的外延层101朝向承载部件8,衬底100朝向激光入射的方向。本实施例中,在承载部件8和外延层101之间还设置有保护膜102。例如可以将外延层101粘贴在保护膜102上,之后再放置在承载部件8上。Then place the LED substrate on the carrying part 8 , the epitaxial layer 101 in the LED substrate faces the carrying part 8 , and the substrate 100 faces the laser incident direction. In this embodiment, a protective film 102 is also provided between the carrying component 8 and the epitaxial layer 101 . For example, the epitaxial layer 101 can be pasted on the protective film 102 and then placed on the carrier part 8 .

接下来,将激光放大扩束装置输出的线状光斑聚焦在衬底100表面上。具体地,在沿激光传播的光路上,调整第一圆形凸透镜9和第二圆形凸透镜10的位置,使得第二圆形凸透镜出射的激光束是经过准直的,其发出的原型光斑尺寸从原始直径5mm~10mm扩展大能够覆盖整个衬底100。当然,在其他具体实施例中,如果经过一组圆形凸透镜组合后光斑尺寸仍然小于LED衬底的尺寸,那么可以在沿光路传播方向上,在第二圆形凸透镜10的后面继续增加一组或多组圆形凸透镜组合来不断扩大光斑尺寸,直至能够覆盖整个LED衬底,同时通过调节各个圆形凸透镜的水平位置来保证透过最后一个圆形透镜的激光束是经过准直的。从第二圆形凸透镜10出射的经过扩束、准直的激光束透过柱透镜11进行线聚焦,通过调整柱透镜11沿光路的位置使得焦点在衬底100表面上,聚焦后的线状光斑的长度大于等于LED衬底的直径。Next, focus the linear light spot output by the laser amplifier and beam expander on the surface of the substrate 100 . Specifically, on the optical path along the laser beam propagation, the positions of the first circular convex lens 9 and the second circular convex lens 10 are adjusted so that the laser beam emitted by the second circular convex lens is collimated, and the original spot size The expansion from the original diameter of 5 mm to 10 mm can cover the entire substrate 100 . Of course, in other specific embodiments, if the size of the light spot is still smaller than the size of the LED substrate after being combined by a group of circular convex lenses, a group of Or a combination of multiple groups of circular convex lenses to continuously expand the spot size until it can cover the entire LED substrate, and at the same time adjust the horizontal position of each circular convex lens to ensure that the laser beam passing through the last circular lens is collimated. The expanded and collimated laser beam emitted from the second circular convex lens 10 passes through the cylindrical lens 11 for line focusing. By adjusting the position of the cylindrical lens 11 along the optical path, the focal point is on the surface of the substrate 100, and the focused linear The length of the light spot is greater than or equal to the diameter of the LED substrate.

之后驱动承载部件8沿垂直于线状光斑的方向逐步移动扫描,在衬底100表面上形成相互平行的多个第一沟槽。具体地,可以对同步控制器22进行编程,使其同步控制步进电机和光闸21,也即设定光闸21的曝光时间和步进电机停留在每一个扫描步骤的时间为预设的时间,例如5ms~10ms。设定步进电机的扫描方式,控制承载部件8的扫描方向沿垂直于线状光斑方向,也即沿着x方向(如果线状光斑沿y方向)或y方向(如果线状光斑沿y方向)扫描一次。Afterwards, the carrying member 8 is driven to gradually move and scan in a direction perpendicular to the linear spot, and a plurality of first grooves parallel to each other are formed on the surface of the substrate 100 . Specifically, the synchronous controller 22 can be programmed to synchronously control the stepping motor and the shutter 21, that is, the exposure time of the shutter 21 and the time that the stepping motor stays in each scanning step are set as preset time , for example 5ms~10ms. Set the scanning mode of the stepping motor, and control the scanning direction of the bearing part 8 along the direction perpendicular to the linear spot, that is, along the x direction (if the linear spot is along the y direction) or the y direction (if the linear spot is along the y direction) ) to scan once.

之后旋转整个LED衬底,例如旋转90°后使得第一沟槽的延伸方向垂直于线状光斑的延伸方向,并驱动承载部件8沿垂直于线状光斑的方向进行二次扫描,在衬底100表面上形成多个第二沟槽,第二沟槽和第一沟槽的延伸方向垂直,形成如图5所示的网状结构。上述两次扫描的补偿可以根据不同尺寸的芯片大小而设定,形成网状交叉的第一沟槽和第二沟槽,便于后续的芯片分离工艺。Rotate the whole LED substrate afterwards, for example after rotating 90°, make the extension direction of the first groove perpendicular to the extension direction of the linear light spot, and drive the bearing part 8 to perform secondary scanning along the direction perpendicular to the linear light spot, A plurality of second grooves are formed on the surface of 100, and the extension direction of the second grooves is perpendicular to the first grooves, forming a network structure as shown in FIG. 5 . The compensation for the above two scans can be set according to the size of chips of different sizes, forming the first and second grooves intersecting in a network, which is convenient for the subsequent chip separation process.

现有技术中,传统的用于加工LED衬底的纳秒激光器的脉冲时间是固定在纳秒(10-6s)量级,输出的脉冲能量是mJ-J量级,即使通过透镜聚焦的方式,焦点处的峰值功率也仅为兆瓦(106W)量级,很难达到蓝宝石材料非线性效应的阈值,蓝宝石材料无法高效吸收激光能量,因此很难有效气化蓝宝石材料而达到加工衬底的目的。另一方面,即使通过不断增加激光器的脉冲输出能量来满足蓝宝石材料气化所要求的激光能量阈值来在衬底上形成沟槽,首先的一个缺点是过大的激光脉冲输出能量在与物质相互作用时,会产生强烈的应力扩散,会严重影响外延层。另外,由于纳秒激光器的脉冲时间较长,加工材料过程中本身就伴随着热损伤,过大激光脉冲输出能量会使得这种热损伤更加严重,会破坏整个LED衬底的外延层。In the prior art, the pulse time of traditional nanosecond lasers used for processing LED substrates is fixed at the nanosecond ( 10-6 s) level, and the output pulse energy is at the mJ-J level, even if the laser focused through the lens way, the peak power at the focal point is only on the order of megawatts (10 6 W), and it is difficult to reach the threshold of the nonlinear effect of sapphire materials. Sapphire materials cannot absorb laser energy efficiently, so it is difficult to effectively vaporize sapphire materials to achieve processing purpose of the substrate. On the other hand, even if the groove is formed on the substrate by continuously increasing the pulse output energy of the laser to meet the laser energy threshold required for the vaporization of the sapphire material, the first disadvantage is that the excessive laser pulse output energy interacts with the material. When it acts, it will produce strong stress diffusion, which will seriously affect the epitaxial layer. In addition, due to the long pulse time of nanosecond lasers, the process of processing materials is accompanied by thermal damage. Excessive laser pulse output energy will make this thermal damage more serious and destroy the epitaxial layer of the entire LED substrate.

而本实施例中,激光放大器20输出的激光束能量同样为mJ~J量级,避免了激光脉冲输出能量过大的负面影响,通过线聚焦后,在焦点处的峰值功率为1012~1015W量级,这样的峰值功率很容易达到蓝宝石材料的能量阈值,达到加工蓝宝石衬底的目的。同时由于飞秒激光的脉冲时间远远小于纳秒激光的脉冲时间,这意味着激光与物质相互作用的时间远远小于激光与物质相互作用所产生的热传递到物质晶格的时间,因此在加工蓝宝石衬底过程中,可以消除热损伤对外延层的影响。However, in this embodiment, the energy of the laser beam output by the laser amplifier 20 is also on the order of mJ~J, which avoids the negative impact of excessive output energy of the laser pulse. On the order of 15 W, such a peak power can easily reach the energy threshold of sapphire material and achieve the purpose of processing sapphire substrate. At the same time, since the pulse time of the femtosecond laser is much shorter than that of the nanosecond laser, it means that the time for the interaction between the laser and the material is much shorter than the time for the heat generated by the interaction between the laser and the material to be transferred to the material lattice, so in In the process of processing the sapphire substrate, the influence of thermal damage on the epitaxial layer can be eliminated.

需要说明的是,在对衬底100进行划片之前,还可以对衬底100进行减薄和平整化,减薄的过程也可以采用图2所示的飞秒激光系统来完成,例如将线状光斑聚焦在衬底100内部后再沿垂直于线状光斑的方向进行扫描。It should be noted that before scribing the substrate 100, the substrate 100 can also be thinned and planarized, and the thinning process can also be completed by using the femtosecond laser system shown in FIG. The linear light spot is focused inside the substrate 100 and then scanned in a direction perpendicular to the linear light spot.

此外,本实施例中LED衬底中的衬底材料是蓝宝石,但是在其他具体实施例中还可以是碳化硅、氧化铝、氮化镓、氧化锌等。In addition, the substrate material in the LED substrate in this embodiment is sapphire, but in other specific embodiments, it can also be silicon carbide, aluminum oxide, gallium nitride, zinc oxide, etc.
