Referring to fig. 1 and 2 together, a silicon wafer dicing apparatus according to the present invention will now be described. The silicon wafer cutting device comprises a laser beam module, a wafer fixing module 01, a blowing and dust-pumping module 02 and a lancing observation module 03:
the wafer fixing module 01 is used for placing silicon wafers;
the laser beam module is used for generating a laser beam for cutting the silicon wafer, and is provided with a laser emitting end 0421, and the laser emitting end 0421 is provided with a protective lens 031;
the blowing and dust-extracting module 02 comprises a side blowing port 021, a straight blowing port 023 and a dust-extracting port 022, wherein the side blowing port 021 and the dust-extracting port 022 are arranged on two opposite sides of the laser emitting end 0421;
the vertical blowing port 023 is used for generating airflow towards the silicon wafer, the side blowing port 021 is used for generating airflow towards the dust extraction port 022, and the dust extraction port 022 is used for generating negative pressure in a specified pressure range so as to discharge dust from the dust extraction port 022;
the kerf observation module 03 is configured to observe or acquire an image of a cut portion of the silicon wafer.
In this embodiment, the silicon wafer cutting apparatus includes a laser beam module, a wafer fixing module 01, a blowing and dust-extracting module 02, and a kerf observation module 03. And the wafer fixing module 01 is used for placing and fixing a silicon wafer. The silicon wafer is a flat wafer. The wafer fixing module 01 can be provided with a sucking disc 011 structure, and the position of a silicon wafer is fixed through negative pressure adsorption.
And the laser beam module is used for generating laser beams for cutting the silicon wafer. The laser beam module is provided with a laser emitting end 0421. The laser emitting end 0421 is provided with a protective lens 031. The protective lens 031 can prevent the optical lens (condenser lens) disposed at the laser emitting end 0421 from being contaminated. In one embodiment, the protection lens 031 is removably mounted on the laser emitting end 0421 so as to facilitate cleaning and maintenance of the protection lens 031. When the protection lens 031 is inserted into the laser emitting end 0421, it is necessary to ensure that the optical axis of the protection lens 031 overlaps with the laser beam.
The blowing and dust-extracting module 02 comprises a side blowing port 021, a straight blowing port 023 and a dust-extracting port 022. The side blowing port 021 and the dust extraction port 022 are disposed on opposite sides of the laser emitting end 0421. For example, if the side blowing port 021 is provided on the left side of the laser emission end 0421, the dust exhaust port 022 is provided on the right side of the laser emission end 0421. The straight blowing port 023 is provided at the lower end surface of the laser emitting end 0421 and is displaced from the optical axis of the laser beam (the optical axis when the laser beam leaves the laser emitting end 0421). The straight blowing port 023 may generate a gas flow toward the cut part of the silicon wafer. In some cases, the blow-through ports 023 may be vertically downward. The direct blowing port 023 can reduce the pollution of dust generated during cutting to the protective lens 031. The side blowing ports 021 can generate a flow of gas to the dust extraction port 022. The side blowing port 021 generates an air flow for blowing dust generated at the time of laser cutting toward the dust drawing port 022. The dust suction port 022 may generate a negative pressure in a designated pressure range to discharge dust from the dust suction port 022. The specified pressure range can be set according to actual needs. The blowing dust-pumping module 02 can timely remove dust or hanging slag generated in the cutting process, reduce the pollution of the dust to the protective lens 031 and improve the cutting quality of the silicon wafer.
And the kerf observation module 03 is used for observing or acquiring an image of a cutting part of the silicon wafer. The kerf observation module 03 is provided with an imaging sensing chip. The imaging sensor chip may be a CCD (Charge-coupled Device) or a CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) sensor. The center of the imaging induction chip is coaxial with the emitting direction of the laser beam. The kerf observation module 03 can be used for observing the situation of the cutting traces (the image of the cutting part of the silicon wafer is transmitted to a computer connected with the kerf observation module and the image of the cutting part of the silicon wafer is displayed on a computer screen) in the cutting process, and judging the deviation situation of the cutting position according to whether the real-time cutting traces are positioned at the center of the cutting path.
Optionally, as shown in fig. 1, the device further includes a two-dimensional linear motion module 05, where the two-dimensional linear motion module 05 is configured to drive the silicon wafer to move linearly along a preset motion direction, so that the laser beam acts on the surface of the silicon wafer to form a kerf.
In this embodiment, the two-dimensional linear motion module 05 may drive the silicon wafer to linearly move along a preset motion direction, so that the laser beam acts on the surface of the silicon wafer to form a cutting seam. The two-dimensional linear motion module 05 can adjust the motion direction and the motion speed according to actual cutting requirements.
Optionally, as shown in fig. 1 and 3, the device further includes a pulse rotation module 06, where the pulse rotation module 06 is disposed on the two-dimensional linear motion module 05, and the pulse rotation module 06 is configured to drive the silicon wafer to rotate so as to adjust a rotation angle of the silicon wafer.
In this embodiment, the pulse rotation module 06 is disposed on the two-dimensional linear motion module 05. In some cases, the direction of the cut of the silicon wafer is not parallel to the direction of motion of the motor. At this time, the pulse rotating module 06 needs to drive the silicon wafer to rotate, and the rotation angle of the silicon wafer is adjusted, so that the cutting direction of the silicon wafer is parallel to the movement direction of the motor (driving member for driving the two-dimensional linear movement module 05 to move).
Optionally, as shown in fig. 1, the apparatus further includes a visual positioning module 07, where the visual positioning module 07 is configured to measure a cutting angle of the silicon wafer in a specified direction, and calculate whether a difference between the cutting angle and a preset angle is zero, if the difference is not zero, generate an angle adjustment signal according to the difference, and send the angle adjustment signal to the pulse rotation module 06, so that the pulse rotation module 06 adjusts the rotation angle of the silicon wafer according to the angle adjustment signal.
In this embodiment, the visual positioning module 07 may be disposed above the silicon wafer and staggered from the kerf observation module 03. The vision positioning module 07 may take a picture containing a silicon wafer. Two mark points may be set in a scribe line in a designated direction (for example, Y direction) of the silicon wafer, and then an angle formed by the two mark points in the picture containing the silicon wafer and the center point of the silicon wafer, that is, a dicing angle, is calculated. It is then determined whether the difference between the cutting angle and a preset angle (which may be set to 0) is zero. If the difference is not zero, an angle adjusting signal is generated according to the difference, and the angle adjusting signal is sent to the pulse rotating module 06, so that the pulse rotating module 06 adjusts the rotation angle of the silicon wafer according to the angle adjusting signal. When the difference is zero, the cutting direction of the silicon wafer is parallel to the movement direction of the motor. Therefore, the cutting seam of the silicon wafer can be prevented from deviating, and the cutting quality of the silicon wafer is influenced.
Optionally, as shown in fig. 3 and 4, the wafer fixing module 01 is disposed on the pulse rotating module 06;
wafer fixed module 01 includes sucking disc mounting panel 012, sucking disc 011 install in on the sucking disc mounting panel 012, sucking disc 011 is provided with a plurality of adsorption tanks 0113, the diameter of sucking disc 011 is less than the diameter of silicon wafer.
In this embodiment, the wafer fixing module 01 is disposed on the pulse rotating module 06. Wafer fixed module 01 includes sucking disc mounting panel 012, sucking disc 011, and sucking disc 011 installs on sucking disc mounting panel 012.
The chuck 011 is processed with a flat edge mark 0112 for assisting in positioning a silicon wafer. The flat edge of the silicon wafer should be aligned as much as possible with the flat edge marks 0112 to reduce the visual alignment time. The circuit side faces upward when the silicon wafer is placed. The surface of the sucking disc 011 can be processed by 8 equal parts to form a plurality of adsorption grooves 0113 and adsorption supporting surfaces 0114 positioned between the adsorption grooves 0113 (the adsorption supporting surfaces 0114 are the groove edges of the adsorption grooves 0113). In one embodiment, the width of the adsorption groove 0113 is about 1.8mm, the depth is about 3mm, and the width of the adsorption support surface 0114 is about 4 mm. The bottom of the adsorption tank 0113 is connected with an exhaust device, so that a certain negative pressure can be formed in the adsorption tank 0113 to generate adsorption force on the silicon wafer. The proper width of the adsorption groove and the width of the adsorption supporting surface can enable the adsorption force of the sucker 011 on the silicon wafer to be more uniform, and the sucker is not easy to deform due to heat diffusion in the processing process. The upper surface of the adsorption support surface 0114 can be oxidized to increase the wear resistance of the chuck 011.
The diameter of the sucking disc 011 can be about 2mm less than the diameter of silicon wafer, so that the sucking disc 011 surface is prevented from being damaged due to the fact that laser acts on the sucking disc 011 surface in the cutting and scribing process.
The sucking disc 011 is provided with a sucking disc fixing hole 0111. The sucker mounting plate 012 can be provided with a plurality of sucker mounting holes 0121, such as 4 inches, 5 inches, 6 inches, 8 inches, etc. Different sized wafers need to be adapted to a correspondingly sized chuck 011. The sucking disc 011 is connected with a sucking disc mounting hole 0121 on the sucking disc mounting plate 012 through a sucking disc fixing hole 0111.
Optionally, as shown in fig. 5, the laser beam module includes a laser light source 041 and a laser light path 042, where an initial light beam generated by the laser light source 041 passes through the laser light path 042 to form the laser beam, and a focal point of the laser beam is located on the silicon wafer;
the laser light path 042 comprises a beam expander 0423, a laser emitting end 0421 and a plurality of reflectors 0424, and the laser emitting end 0421 is provided with a condenser lens;
the straight blowing port 023 is arranged between the side blowing port 021 and the dust extraction port 022, the side blowing port 021 and the dust extraction port 022 are located at the same horizontal height, and the distance between the straight blowing port 023 and the wafer fixing module 01 is greater than the distance between the side blowing port 021 and the wafer fixing module 01; the flow direction of the airflow generated by the side blowing port 021 and flowing to the dust extraction port 022 is parallel to the silicon wafer.
In this embodiment, the laser beam module includes a laser light source 041 and a laser light path 042. The initial light beam generated by the laser light source 041 forms a laser light beam after passing through the laser light path 042. When a silicon wafer is cut, the focus of a laser beam needs to be controlled to be on the silicon wafer. In one embodiment, the laser source 041 is an infrared laser with a power of 2-50W, the wavelength of the laser beam emitted by the laser source 041 is 1064nm, the pulse width is about 175-.
The laser light path 042 comprises a laser incidence end 0422, a beam expander 0423, a laser emission end 0421 and a plurality of reflectors 0424, and the laser emission end 0421 is provided with a condenser lens. Laser generated by the laser light source 041 is incident from the laser incident end 0422, reflected by the reflector 0424 and passes through the beam expander 0423 to increase the diameter of the laser; and is reflected by a reflecting mirror 0424 to be incident on a condenser lens of a laser emitting end 0421. The laser is focused on the focus of the condenser lens by the convergence of the condenser lens to form a laser beam which can be used for cutting silicon wafers. It should be noted that the reflecting mirror 0424 above the laser emitting end 0421 may be transparent, so that the imaging sensing chip of the kerf observation module 03 can photograph the cutting portion of the silicon wafer to obtain an image of the cutting portion.
In the air blowing and dust extracting module 02, the straight air blowing port 023 may be disposed between the side air blowing port 021 and the dust extracting port 022. The side blowing port 021 and the dust extraction port 022 are located at the same level, and the distance between the straight blowing port 023 and the wafer fixing module 01 is greater than the distance between the side blowing port 021 and the wafer fixing module 01. The flow direction of the gas flow generated from the side blowing port 021 and flowing to the dust extraction port 022 is parallel to the silicon wafer. The dust generated during laser cutting can be taken away by the airflow between the side blowing port 021 and the dust extraction port 022. The airflow has a drainage function, and dust generated during laser cutting is discharged through the dust extraction port 022.
Optionally, as shown in fig. 1, the power meter further includes a power detection module 08, where the power detection module 08 is provided with a power meter surface probe;
before the silicon wafer is cut, the power meter surface probe is moved to the focal position of the laser emitted by the laser beam module to determine first cutting parameters of the silicon wafer.
In this embodiment, the power detection module 08 may be configured to detect thermal power of a focal position of the laser beam. Since the laser light source 041 may be depleted, its output power is lower than the rated value, and the thermal power of the focal position of the laser beam is reduced. This may result in the failure of the silicon wafer cut by the focal point to meet the predetermined processing standard. Therefore, before dicing a silicon wafer, it is necessary to detect the thermal power of the focal position of the laser beam using the power detection module 08.
