Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of semiconductors, in particular to a method and a system for acquiring a reduced blackening color of a wafer.
Background
Lithium tantalate crystal (molecular formula LiTaO3, LT crystal for short) has a non-symmetric center trigonal system structure (3 m), a crystal melting point of 1650 ℃ and a Curie temperature of about 600 ℃, has excellent performances of piezoelectricity, ferroelectricity, pyroelectric, acousto-optic, electro-optic, nonlinearity, photorefractive and the like, and has important application prospects in the communication and photoelectric fields of Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) filters, pyroelectric detectors, optical modulators, frequency conversion and the like. As a substrate material of the surface acoustic wave filter, the LT crystal has the outstanding advantages of large electromechanical coupling coefficient, small frequency temperature coefficient, low insertion loss and the like, is widely applied to high-frequency (near 2 GHz) frequency domain SAW filter devices, and has huge market prospect in smart phones and other high-end intelligent portable communication electronic terminal products.
When manufacturing a high-frequency SAW filter with a frequency of 2GHz or more, comb-shaped interdigital metal CuAL electrodes with a small pitch (about 0.3-0.4 um) and a thin thickness (about 200nm or less) need to be manufactured on an LT substrate wafer, and are generally subjected to typical semiconductor manufacturing processes such as metal thin film deposition, glue coating, photolithography, exposure and development, etching, and the like. Lithium tantalate crystal not only has piezoelectric property, but also has pyroelectric property, the pyroelectric coefficient of the lithium tantalate crystal is about 1x10-8 coulomb/cm < 2 > K, the resistivity of the LT crystal substrate which is not processed in the prior art is high (1013-1015 ohm cm), the temperature change in the SAW device manufacturing process causes a large amount of charges on the surface of the LT substrate, the charges cannot be released and conducted away quickly, the sparking among comb-shaped electrodes of the SAW device is easily caused, the excellent rate of the device is reduced, and the substrate is cracked seriously; in addition, the high transmittance of the LT substrate causes strong reflection of light from the back to the front of the substrate after the light is transmitted through the substrate, resulting in a decrease in the resolution of the comb electrode pattern during the photolithography process. Although the surface charge build-up caused by pyroelectricity of LT crystals can be neutralized by the surrounding free charges, it often takes several hours to tens of hours; temperature fluctuations can also be reduced by SAW device design or during device fabrication, but this increases device cost and reduces production efficiency, which is not desirable for mass production.
In order to solve the outstanding problems of LT crystal pyroelectric property, as well as burning out of fire among interdigital fingers of SAW filter devices caused by high transmittance of exposure wavelength, low resolution of comb electrodes, low yield of device manufacturing, high cost and the like, the industry mainly tries to reduce the resistivity of Lithium Tantalate (LT) crystals or LT substrate sheets to weaken or eliminate the pyroelectric property thereof by various pretreatment methods such as reduction heat treatment, electro-reduction treatment, chemical treatment and the like under the condition of not influencing the piezoelectric property of the LT crystals so as to prepare LT crystal substrates without pyroelectric property. The pretreated LT crystal substrate is generally black, and therefore this pretreatment method is also referred to as "blackening". SAW filter devices fabricated on LT crystal substrates without blackening of pyroelectric properties have high yield and low cost.
At present, the industry generally distinguishes colors of LT crystal substrates after blackening in two ways, the first way is visual distinguishing through human eyes, but the limitation is that the environment change and the interference of human factors are too large, so that the yield of the integrated circuit yellow light process is fluctuated and bad; the second is transmittance, which is measured by a machine, but the transmittance measurement is limited to the case that the wafer must be polished on both sides to obtain a relatively high transmittance value, otherwise, the conventional wafer is polished on one side, which means the loss of material is caused by transmittance measurement, so that the conventional wafer is generally inspected in batches and cannot be monitored in real time, and the abnormal response time of the process is too long, resulting in excessive undesirable loss of the whole wafer.
