In the supporting plate to which a circuit-formed surface of a substrate is bonded with an adhesive, a first penetrating hole is formed in a substantially central portion of the supporting plate in the thickness direction, grooves connecting with the first penetrating hole are formed on a surface of the supporting plate to be contacted with an adhesive, and a second penetrating hole connecting with the grooves is formed in a peripheral portion of the supporting plate in the thickness direction.
Description
- 1. Field of the Invention
- The present invention relates to a supporting plate which is used when a substrate such as a semiconductor wafer is thinned, and also relates to an apparatus and a method for stripping the supporting plate from the semiconductor wafer.
- 2. Description of the Prior Art
- There is a continuing need to make IC cards and cell phones thinner, smaller, and lighter. In order to satisfy this need, semiconductor chips to be incorporated therein must be thin. Although at present the thickness of a wafer which forms a semiconductor chip is 125-150 μm, it is expected that the thickness of a semiconductor wafer must be 25-50 μm for a next generation of chips.
- An example of a conventional method for thinning a semiconductor wafer is shown in
FIG. 8 . Specifically, a protecting tape is attached to a surface (A-surface) of a semiconductor wafer on which a circuit (element) has been formed. The wafer is turned over, and the rear surface (B-surface) of the semiconductor wafer is ground by a grinder to make the wafer thinner. The B surface of the semiconductor wafer which has been thinned is fixed onto a dicing tape retained by a dicing frame, and the protecting tape covering the surface (A-surface) of the semiconductor wafer on which a circuit (element) has been formed is stripped in this state. Next, the wafer is cut into each chip by a dicing device. - The above-mentioned method has been disclosed in
Document 1. According toDocument 1, the heat-resistant protecting tape is stripped from the thinned semiconductor wafer by using a strong adhesive tape bonded to one end of the protecting tape. -
Document 2 has disclosed that a protecting base obtained by immersing a ladder-type silicone oligomer in an aluminum nitride—boron nitride porous sintered material is used instead of a protecting tape, and the protecting base and a semiconductor wafer are bonded by using a thermoplastic film.Document 2 also mentions that they are immersed in pure water at 80° C. for 3 hours before stripping. -
Document 3 has disclosed that a protecting base is made of a material having the same thermal expansion coefficient as a semiconductor wafer such as alumina, aluminum nitride, boron nitride, or silicon carbide. - Also,
Document 3 has proposed a method in which the protecting base and the semiconductor wafer are bonded by using a thermoplastic resin such as polyimide, the semiconductor wafer is thinned by a grinder, and thereafter stripping is performed by immersing in water, amine, or a mixed solution of water and amine, or by using steam. - [Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2002-270676
- [Document 2] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2002-203821
- [Document 3] Japanese Patent Application Publication No. 2001-77304
- In the above-mentioned techniques, since it is difficult for a solvent to enter between the supporting plate (protecting tape) and the semiconductor wafer when the supporting plate (protecting tape) is stripped from the semiconductor wafer, it takes too much time to strip the supporting plate from the semiconductor wafer.
- Also, the thermoplastic film bonding the support plate (protecting tape) and the semiconductor wafer often fails to completely dissolve, and tends to be left in a state of sticking to either the support plate or the semiconductor wafer.
- If an adhesive is left as described above, cracking or chipping of the semiconductor wafer easily occurs at the time of stripping.
- In order to solve the above problem, the present applicant has proposed a supporting plate in which a plurality of penetrating holes are provided in the thickness direction of the supporting plate.
FIG. 9 explains a method for stripping this supporting plate. - According to this method, a
solvent supplying plate 102 is laid onto the upper surface of a supportingplate 100 via an O-ring 101. Next, a solvent is supplied from asolvent supplying pipe 103 to a space S surrounded by the supportingplate 100, the O-ring 101 and thesolvent supplying plate 102. The solvent passes through penetratingholes 104 formed in the supportingplate 100, dissolves and removes anadhesive layer 105. - With the method of using a supporting plate in which a plurality of penetrating holes are provided, it is possible to securely remove an adhesive in a short period of time. However, another problem arises.
- As shown in
FIG. 10 , the solvent leaks from the periphery of the supporting plate to the outside, and the solvent drops onto the dicing tape, which results in a deterioration of the dicing tape in a short period of time. - Further, efficiency of stripping is bad because part of a new solvent supplied to the space S is withdrawn without being utilized.
- Furthermore, even if the adhesive is completely dissolved, if a finger or the like is used as a device for stripping the semiconductor wafer from the supporting plate, there is a strong likelihood that the circuit-formed surface of the semiconductor wafer will be damaged.
- In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the object of the present invention is to provide a supporting plate which makes it possible to easily strip the supporting plate from a substrate in a short period of time after thinning the substrate, and an apparatus and a method for stripping the supporting plate.
- In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, according to the present invention, there is provided a supporting plate to which a circuit-formed surface of a substrate is bonded with an adhesive, wherein a first penetrating hole is formed in a substantially central portion of the supporting plate in the thickness direction, grooves connecting with the first penetrating hole are formed on a surface of the supporting plate to be contacted with an adhesive, and a second penetrating hole connecting with the grooves is formed in a peripheral portion of the supporting plate in the thickness direction.
- Since the supporting plate of the present invention has a first penetrating hole formed in a substantially central portion of the supporting plate in the thickness direction, grooves formed on a surface of the supporting plate to be contacted with an adhesive so as to connect with the first penetrating hole, and a second penetrating hole formed in a peripheral portion of the supporting plate in the thickness direction so as to connect with the grooves, it is possible to use the first penetrating hole as a hole for supplying a solvent and the second penetrating hole as a hole for draining the solvent. With this, when the supporting plate is stripped from the substrate after the substrate is thinned, it is possible to supply the solvent quickly to the whole surface of the adhesive which bonds the substrate and the supporting plate so as to strip the supporting plate in a short period of time.
- Also, if the second penetrating hole is used as a hole for supplying a solvent and the first penetrating hole is used as a hole for draining the solvent, the same effect can be achieved.
- There is also provided an apparatus for stripping a supporting plate bonded to a circuit-formed surface of a substrate with an adhesive, comprising a plate which has a first penetrating hole formed in a substantially central portion of the plate in the thickness direction, a second penetrating hole formed in a peripheral portion of the plate in the thickness direction, and a hole for attracting a supporting plate formed between the first penetrating hole and the second penetrating hole in the radial direction.

FIG. 1 is a schematic view showing an embodiment of a supporting plate according to the present invention, andFIG. 2 shows the process for forming a supporting plate. - A supporting
plate 1 according to the present invention shown inFIG. 1 is made of a glass plate, a ceramic plate or a metal plate. - A circuit-formed surface of a semiconductor wafer W is bonded to one of the surfaces of the supporting
plate 1 by using an adhesive, which is not shown in the drawing. - According to the present invention, the supporting
plate 1 has a unique structure as described below. - A first
penetrating hole 2 is formed in a substantially central portion (center) of the supportingplate 1 so as to penetrate in the thickness direction. A plurality of first penetratingholes 2 may be formed, and for example, four penetratingholes 2 are formed inFIG. 1 . However, the number of the penetratingholes 2 is not limited to this. - Also,
grooves 3 connecting with the firstpenetrating hole 2 are formed on the surface of the supporting plate to which a semiconductor wafer W is bonded. Thegrooves 3 are formed so as to cover almost all the surface up to the outer periphery. As an example, thegrooves 3 have a depth of 0.3 mm in a case where the supportingplate 1 has a thickness of 0.7 mm. The depth of thegrooves 3 needs to be sufficient so as not to be filled with an adhesive layer interposed between the supportingplate 1 and the semiconductor wafer W for bonding. With this, a small gap is defined between the adhesive layer and thegrooves 3, so that a solvent can quickly flow along the gap when the solvent is supplied as described below. - A second
penetrating hole 4 is formed in a peripheral portion of the supportingplate 1. The secondpenetrating hole 4 penetrates in the thickness direction and connects with thegrooves 3 so as to drain a solvent to outside (for withdrawal). It is possible to provide a plurality of penetratingholes 4 in a peripheral portion of the supportingplate 1. - With the above-mentioned structure, the first
penetrating hole 2 to supply a solvent from outside and the secondpenetrating hole 4 to discharge a solvent to outside are connected to each other via thegrooves 3. - The
grooves 3 are formed in a grid pattern, part of which is shown in the enlarged view ofFIG. 1 . Thegrooves 3 serve to connect the firstpenetrating hole 2 and the secondpenetrating hole 4 as mentioned above. Therefore, if a solvent is supplied from outside to the firstpenetrating hole 2, the solvent flows from the central portion to the periphery (outer periphery) portion along thegrooves 3, and reaches the secondpenetrating hole 4. - The process for forming the supporting
plate 1 provided with thegrooves 3 will be described below with reference toFIG. 2 . - First, a glass plate is prepared, and a dry film resist is applied to a surface of the plate where the
grooves 3 are to be formed (Step 1). - An exposure step and a development step are performed to the dry film resist by using a grid-patterned photo mask (See
Steps 2 and 3). - With these steps, the grid-patterned dry film resist (a resist mask for forming the grooves 3) is formed on the surface of the glass plate.
- Next, a protection step is performed to the periphery, and thereafter, cutting of the glass plate is performed by a sandblasting method with the grid-patterned dry film resist as a mask (See
Steps 4 and 5). - With these steps, the grid-patterned
grooves 3 are formed on the surface of the glass plate, which have a predetermined depth from the surface. - Next, a dry film resist is applied to the other surface of the glass plate (See Step 6).
- An exposure step and a development step are performed to the dry film resist by using a photo mask for forming the first
penetrating hole 2 and the second penetrating hole 4 (SeeSteps 7 and 8). - With these steps, the dry film resist corresponding to the first
penetrating hole 2 and the second penetrating hole 4 (a resist mask for forming the firstpenetrating hole 2 and the second penetrating hole 4) is formed on the other surface of the glass plate. - Next, a protection step is performed to the periphery (Step 9), and thereafter, cutting of the glass plate is performed by a sandblasting method with the resist mask for forming the first
penetrating hole 2 and the second penetrating hole 4 (Step 10). - Next, cleaning is performed to the glass plate (Step 11). With these steps, the first
penetrating hole 2 is formed in the central portion of the glass plate, which penetrates in the thickness direction. The secondpenetrating hole 4 is formed in the periphery portion, which penetrates in the thickness direction. - In the process shown in
FIG. 2 , thegrooves 3 are formed first, and the firstpenetrating hole 2 and the secondpenetrating hole 4 are formed next. However, this order may be reversed. - A dry etching method or a wet etching method may be used to form grid-patterned grooves instead of a sandblasting method. However, when these etching methods are used, it is difficult to form uniform grooves compared to a sandblasting method although it depends on the width or the depth of the grooves. A sandblasting method is preferred to form the
grooves 3. - In the supporting
plate 1 of the present embodiment, the penetratinghole 2 for supplying a solvent from outside is formed in the central portion of the supportingplate 1 in the thickness direction, the grid-patterned grooves connecting with the firstpenetrating hole 2 are formed on a surface of the supporting plate to be contacted with an adhesive, and the secondpenetrating hole 4 for draining a solvent to outside connecting with thegrooves 3 is formed in the peripheral portion of the supportingplate 1 in the thickness direction. Therefore, when the supportingplate 1 is stripped from the semiconductor wafer W by using the stripping apparatus and a stripping method described below, it is possible to supply a solvent quickly to the whole surface of the adhesive which bonds the wafer W and the supportingplate 1 so as to strip the supportingplate 1 in a short period of time compared to the case of using a conventional supporting plate. - More specifically, since a conventional supporting plate has a structure in which a number of penetrating holes are formed in the thickness direction, dissolution of the adhesive starts in the area where the adhesive contacts with the penetrating holes. Therefore, it takes time to distribute the solvent over the adhesive uniformly.
- In contrast, the supporting
plate 1 according to the present embodiment has a structure in which the grid-patternedgrooves 3 are formed on almost all the surface to be contacted with the adhesive. Therefore, the solvent supplied from the firstpenetrating hole 2 flows toward the periphery portion via the grid-patternedgrooves 3 connecting with the firstpenetrating hole 2, so that the solvent can be distributed quickly over the adhesive. - Consequently, it is possible to strip the supporting
plate 1 in a short period of time compared to a conventional supporting plate. - Further, since a number of penetrating holes are not formed in the supporting
plate 1 according to the present invention, unlike a conventional supporting plate, when the supportingplate 1 is stripped from thesemiconductor wafer W 1 by using the stripping apparatus and method described below, it is possible to retain the area where no hole is formed by vacuum attraction. With this, it is possible to simplify the process for stripping the supportingplate 1 from the semiconductor wafer W. - Furthermore, since a number of penetrating holes are not formed in the supporting
plate 1 according to the present invention, unlike a conventional supporting plate, it is possible to improve the strength of the supportingplate 1, and increase the reuse rate. - Also, according to the present invention, since an excessive amount of force is not exerted on the semiconductor wafer W when the supporting
plate 1 is stripped from the wafer W, there is little likelihood that cracking or chipping will occur in the wafer W. - Consequently, in the semiconductor wafer W to which the supporting
plate 1 is attached, it is possible to utilize the surface ground by a grinder after thinning the wafer W as a second circuit-formed surface, for example. - Next, another embodiment of the supporting
plate 1 will be described below. - The shape of the
grooves 3 is a grid in the above-mentioned embodiment of the supportingplate 1. However, the shape of thegrooves 3 may be staggered (see the enlarged view of the grooves shown inFIG. 3 (a) and the enlarged view of the periphery shown inFIG. 3 (b)). - More specifically, the shape of the
grooves 3 according to this embodiment is formed by staggering grid-patternedgrooves 3 as shown inFIG. 1 in columns at a predetermined interval. - The
staggered grooves 3 make it possible to supply the solvent quickly to the whole surface of the adhesive which bonds the wafer W and the supportingplate 1 in the same manner as the case of the grid-patternedgrooves 3. Consequently, it is possible to strip the supportingplate 1 from the substrate in a short period of time compared to the case of using a conventional supporting plate. - Incidentally, the
staggered grooves 3 can be formed in the same process shown inFIG. 2 . - Next, another embodiment of the supporting plate will be described below.
- The shape of the
grooves 3 is honeycombed according to this embodiment. More specifically, the shape of thegrooves 3 is hexagonal (see the enlarged view of the grooves shown inFIG. 4 (a) and the enlarged view of the periphery shown inFIG. 4 (b)). - In the case where the shape of the
grooves 3 is hexagonal, it is possible to supply the solvent more quickly to the whole surface of the adhesive which bonds the wafer W and the supportingplate 1 compared to the cases of the grid-patternedgrooves 3 and thestaggered grooves 3. Consequently, it is possible to strip the supportingplate 1 from the substrate in a shorter period of time compared to the case of using a conventional supporting plate. - One of the reasons is that the solvent supplied from the central portion can more easily reach the peripheral portion compared to the cases of the grid-patterned
grooves 3 and thestaggered grooves 3, by arranging each of the adjacenthexagonal grooves 3 to be directed from the central portion to the peripheral portion. - The
hexagonal grooves 3 can be formed in the same processes shown inFIG. 2 . - As for the shape of the
grooves 3, it is also possible to employ a coil shape in which the grooves are directed from the hole for supplying a solvent in the center toward the hole for draining the solvent in the periphery. - Also, the supporting plate may be comprised of frosted glass as follows:
- Specifically, the surface of the glass substrate to which the semiconductor wafer W is attached is roughened by 0.05 mm-0.1 mm, although this is not shown in the drawings. Since the other features are the same as described above, they are not explained again.
- In this supporting plate, a solvent supplied from the first
penetrating hole 2 can permeate the whole surface by capillary action. With this, it is possible to achieve the same function as the case of the supporting plate provided with thegrooves 3 described above. - Next, an embodiment of the apparatus and the method of stripping the supporting plate having the above-mentioned structure from the semiconductor wafer W will be described with reference to
FIGS. 5 and 6 . - In this embodiment, the supporting
plate 1 is provided with thehexagonal grooves 3 shown inFIG. 4 , for example. - The stripping apparatus 20 according to the present embodiment comprises a
plate 10. Theplate 1 is supported by an elevator mechanism so as to be elevated or lowered in the vertical direction by a predetermined stroke. - A first penetrating hole 12 (for supplying a solvent from outside) is formed in the central portion of the
plate 10, and a second penetrating hole 14 (for draining a solvent to outside) is formed in the periphery portion of theplate 10. Also, ahole 13 is formed between the first penetratinghole 12 and the second penetratinghole 14 in the radial direction. Thehole 13 is used for vacuuming, and a recessedportion 15 is formed at the end of thehole 13 which is in contact with the supportingplate 1. The first penetratinghole 12 is connected to a solvent supplying means, for example, by a tube which is not shown in the drawings. - When the supporting
plate 1 and the semiconductor wafer W bonded to the supportingplate 1 are attracted to theplate 10 having the above-mentioned structure by vacuum attraction using thehole 13, the hole for supplying a solvent 12 is coupled to the firstpenetrating hole 2 of the supportingplate 1 and the hole for draining a solvent 14 is coupled to the secondpenetrating hole 4 of the supportingplate 1. Also, thehole 13 is positioned in an area of the supportingplate 1 where the firstpenetrating hole 2 and the secondpenetrating hole 4 are not formed. - Next, stripping the supporting
plate 1 from the semiconductor wafer W by using the stripping apparatus 20 will be described. - The
plate 10 is pushed onto the upper surface of the supportingplate 1, so that the hole for supplying a solvent 12 of theplate 10 is aligned (coupled) to the firstpenetrating hole 2 of the supportingplate 1, and the hole for draining a solvent 14 is aligned (coupled) to the secondpenetrating hole 4 of the supporting plate 1 (seeFIG. 5 ). - A solvent is supplied to the hole for supplying a solvent 12 of the
plate 10 by a solvent supplying means (not shown in the drawing) in this state. - The solvent flows toward the first
penetrating hole 2 of the supportingplate 1, and reaches thehexagonal grooves 3 which connect with the penetratinghole 2. - In this instance, as described above, since the
grooves 3 are formed so as to cover almost all surface of the supportingplate 1 up to the outer periphery, the solvent can be distributed quickly over anadhesive layer 5 so as to dissolve theadhesive layer 5. - The solvent used for dissolving the
adhesive layer 5 flows to the secondpenetrating hole 4 formed in the periphery of the supportingplate 1 and connecting with thegrooves 3, reaches the hole for draining a solvent 14 of theplate 10, and is drained to outside (and withdrawn). - Next (after a predetermined period of time passes), the supporting
plate 1 is stripped from the semiconductor wafer W. - In this instance, the pressure inside the recessed
portion 15 is reduced by thehole 13 for vacuuming, and theplate 10 is lifted up in the state where the supportingplate 1 is attracted to theplate 10 by vacuuming. In this way, the supportingplate 1 is stripped and the semiconductor wafer W is left to adicing tape 7. Incidentally, the dicingtape 7 has adhesiveness and is retained by aframe 6. - According to the present embodiment of the stripping apparatus and the stripping method, the solvent supplied to the hole for supplying a solvent 12 of the
plate 10 flows toward the firstpenetrating hole 2 of the supportingplate 1, and reaches the periphery of the supportingplate 1 via thehexagonal grooves 3 which connect with the penetratinghole 2 of the supportingplate 1. The solvent flows to the hole for draining a solvent 14 of theplate 10 via the secondpenetrating hole 4 formed in the periphery of the supportingplate 1 to be drained to outside. - As described above, the
grooves 3 make it possible to supply the solvent quickly to the whole surface of theadhesive layer 5. Consequently, it is possible to strip the supportingplate 1 in a shorter period of time compared to the case of using the conventional supporting plate. - Incidentally, when the supporting
plate 1 is stripped from the semiconductor wafer W, there are cases where the supportingplate 1 is still attached to the semiconductor wafer W due to surface tension of the solvent used for dissolving theadhesive layer 5, which makes it difficult to strip the supportingplate 1. - In these cases, it is possible to make the supporting
plate 1 easier to strip by cancelling (breaking) the surface tension with air supplied from the solvent supplying hole of theplate 10 to the firstpenetrating hole 2 of the supportingplate 1. - In order to achieve this method, an air supplying means may be provided in a stripping apparatus having the above-mentioned structure, and a tube of the air supplying means may be connected to a tube of the solvent supplying means which leads to the solvent supplying hole of the
plate 10. - In the above-mentioned embodiments, a solvent is supplied to the central portion and drained from the periphery portion. However, it is also possible to supply a solvent to the periphery portion and drain from the central portion.
- In this instance, the second
penetrating hole 4 formed in the periphery portion of the supportingplate 1 is used for supplying a solvent from outside, and the firstpenetrating hole 2 formed in the central portion of the supportingplate 1 is used for draining the solvent to the outside. - Also, in the
plate 10 of the stripping apparatus 20, thehole 14 formed in the periphery portion is used for supplying a solvent from outside, and thehole 12 formed in the central portion is used for draining the solvent to the outside. - Since the other features are the same as mentioned above, they are not explained again.
- It should be noted that the same function can be achieved in the above-mentioned case as in the case where a solvent is supplied to the central portion and drained from the periphery portion.
- In the stripping apparatus 20 according to the present embodiment, the
plate 10 is provided in the upper surface of the supportingplate 1 as shown inFIG. 5 . However, theplate 10 may be provided in the lower surface of the supportingplate 1 as shown inFIG. 7 . - In this instance, it is not necessary to form the
solvent draining hole 14 although the solvent supplyinghole 12 is formed in theplate 10. - The present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, and other various structures are possible within the scope of the present invention.
- According to the present invention, a solvent can be supplied to the whole surface of the adhesive which bonds the substrate and the supporting plate so as to strip the supporting plate in a short period of time and reduce the treatment time.
- Accordingly, it is possible to achieve a supporting plate, an apparatus and a method for stripping a supporting plate suitable for reducing the treatment time with high reliability.
