Device and method for realizing abrasive and wafer substrate tribochemical reaction
Technical Field
The invention relates to a device and a method for realizing a tribochemical reaction between an abrasive and a wafer substrate.
Background
With the rapid development of new energy automobiles and 5G technologies, semiconductor materials are continuously developed towards high frequency, high power, high thermal conductivity and the like. At present, the traditional semiconductor power device represented by monocrystalline silicon gradually reaches the material development limit, and the working requirements of the semiconductor device under the conditions of high frequency, high temperature, high power, high energy efficiency, severe environment resistance and the like are difficult to meet. Silicon carbide, gallium nitride and the like are representative novel semiconductor materials, and by virtue of their excellent properties, they will be developed into mainstream semiconductor materials for manufacturing high-performance electronic devices. However, the ultra-high hardness, extreme brittleness, and extreme corrosion resistance of the new semiconductor materials make them difficult to process. The ultra-precision polishing technology of novel semiconductor materials continues to use the traditional chemical mechanical polishing technology of silicon wafers. Because the hardness and the corrosion resistance of novel semiconductor materials such as silicon carbide, gallium nitride and the like are far higher than those of silicon wafers, the processing efficiency is low, the cost is high, and meanwhile, the problem of environmental pollution caused by a mechanochemical polishing technology is increasingly prominent. Therefore, the interface action process of the abrasive particles and the wafer is deeply analyzed, the abrasive particle polishing and removing mechanism of the novel semiconductor wafer is facilitated to be mastered, and efficient ultra-precise nondestructive processing of the novel semiconductor wafer is further realized. The traditional research means of the interface friction effect of the abrasive particles and the wafer substrate is mainly realized by means of a nano indentation scratch instrument, however, the nano indentation scratch instrument has low load (mN magnitude), small speed (mum/s magnitude), no temperature control device and lubricating liquid module, and is greatly different from the real processing environment, so that the interface friction effect of the abrasive particles and the wafer substrate in the processing process is difficult to effectively research.
