Description
技术领域technical field
本发明涉及半导体集成电路制造领域,特别涉及一种晶圆切边装置。本发明还涉及一种晶圆切边方法。The invention relates to the field of semiconductor integrated circuit manufacturing, in particular to a wafer edge trimming device. The present invention also relates to a wafer edge trimming method.
背景技术Background technique
切边(Trim)工艺(process)是背照式(BSI)工艺如BSI图像传感器工艺中一道重要的工艺,是将晶圆2(wafer)边缘特定深宽的一圈用刀头1切掉。如图1A所示,是现有晶圆2切边方法中的刀头1的立体结构图;刀头1,在沿中心轴方向上所述刀头呈圆环形结构;其中最外侧的圆环对应的侧面为切割表面1a,但是仅有部分厚度的切割表面1a用于切割。如图1B所示,是现有晶圆2切边方法进行切边时刀头1和晶圆2的结构示意图;可以看出,刀头1的侧视图对应于切割表面1a的侧视图,图1B中的刀头1为还未进行任何切割从而没有磨耗的原始结构,在虚线圈101所示区域中,刀头1会对晶圆2进行切割。如图1C所示,是现有晶圆2切边方法切边完成后的晶圆2边缘结构图,可以看出,在虚线圈102对应的边缘区域中,所述晶圆2的硅材料被切割掉。The trimming process is an important process in the backside illuminated (BSI) process such as the BSI image sensor process. As shown in FIG. 1A , it is a three-dimensional structural view of the
由于切边是通过刀头1对晶圆2进行摩擦作用实现的,故随着切边的进行,刀头1在和晶圆2接触的位置处产生磨耗,磨耗后,刀头1和晶圆2接触区域的半径会减小,在刀头1所能切割的深度也会减少,也即在刀头1的中心轴AA和晶圆2的表面之间的间距不变时,刀头1的磨耗后所能切割的深度会变浅。Since the edge trimming is achieved by the friction effect of the
为了防止刀头1磨耗后对切割深度的影响,现有方法中,刀头1的磨耗量通过刀头切割设定(ChopperCutSetup,CCS)工艺来监测,如图2A所示,是现有晶圆切边方法的CCS切割时立体结构示意图;CCS是在监测用的硅片201上用刀头1在特定位置切下去特定的深度,图2B为图2A对应的左视图,图2B中,示意出了刀头1的切割深度d,还示意出了刀头1的高度,刀头1的高度是通过中心轴AA和切边装置的顶部结构202之间的距离Z0表示。由图2B所示可知,当切割硅片201的刀头1的切割表面1a的直径或半径一致时,所切割处的凹槽的宽度和切割面的半径相关,也即通过切割处的凹槽的宽度即可得到切割表面1a的半径。如图2C所示,是图2A对晶圆切割完成后进行切割长度测量的示意图;标记203对应于切割形成的凹槽,在凹槽203上对应的长度L0即可得到对应的切割深度d。In order to prevent the impact on the cutting depth after the
由于CCS监测中,硅片201和顶部结构202之间的间距和实际切边的晶圆2和顶部结构202之间的间距并不相同,故从硅片201上形成的切割深度d要进行校正才能得到晶圆2上的准确的切割深度,如图2D所示,是现有晶圆切边方法的CCS的切割深度校正测量的结构示意图,校正距离为H0-Ha,距离H0为通过距离传感器204测量出来的硅片201和顶部结构202之间的间距,距离Ha则为晶圆2和顶部结构202之间的间距。由于H0大于Ha,故硅片201的表面比晶圆2的表面更低,这样在晶圆2上形成的凹槽的深度会比在硅片201上形成的深度深H0-Ha,也即在晶圆2上的切割深度需要在d的基础上增加校正距离即(H0-Ha)。Since the distance between the
现有方法中,由于CCS监测需要采用额外的硅片201并进行相应的测试,测试时间和成本都比较高,故现有方法不能做到在每片晶圆2切边完成后都进行CCS监测。也即一次CCS监测到下一次CCS监测之间会进行多片晶圆2的切边,在这些晶圆2的切边过程中,每一片晶圆2切边完成后都会对的刀头1对应的切割表面1a产生一定的磨耗,这会使得随着切边的不断进行,后面的晶圆2的切割深度会不断降低,使得后面的晶圆2的切割深度不符合要求。In the existing method, since CCS monitoring needs to use
