EV Group Solutions for Compound Semiconductor Manufacturing

EV Group Solutions for Compound Semiconductor Manufacturing Introduction Compound semiconductor devices have been linked with airborne and military applications for a long time. More recently, with increasing requirements from consumer electronics, compound semiconductors found inroads to large-scale production. In particular, rising data volumes and transmission speeds for mobile devices enabled high growth rates of radio front-end devices, consisting of three basic building blocks, namely filter/duplexer, power amplifier and antenna switch. All of these parts are being manufactured to a large extent of compound semiconductors. Besides radio front-end application on GaAs substrates novel applications arise, increasing the importance of compound semiconductors for several applications. As an example, photonic interconnects for high speed, low State-of-the-art Die-Sized SAW package (DSSP ) Copyright EPCOS AG 2013 loss and largely improved bandwidth is one of them. These devices are mostly indium phosphide (InP) based. Since InP is difficult to grow on low cost wafers and with large size, wafer bonding considerably gains importance. In general, wafer bonding and more specifically direct wafer bonding with the aid of plasma activation, levels the ground for compound semiconductors to be implemented in a complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) production scale. With the maturing market position of compound semiconductors, common processing and packaging technologies from advanced CMOS and micro electro mechanical systems (MEMS) are paving its way. Advanced packaging is one prominent example, where CMOS and compound semiconductor design and processing blend together. EV Group is a recognized leader of processing technology for wafer bonding, optical lithography, nanoimprint lithography and wafer level packaging.

Nano Imprint Lithography Nano patterns are a novel topic for most parts of the compound semiconductor applications. Recently, nano patterns spurred a lot of attention for growth substrates, such as nano patterned sapphire substrates (npss) or for selective area growth of nanowires. However, these are not the only solutions. Photonic elements, such as wire grid polarizers, color filters or gratings, are frequently used applications, facilitating nano patterns in compound semiconductors. Nano imprint lithography (NIL) is an ideally suited replication method for such nanometer structures. The typical properties of compound semiconductor substrates high bow, varying TTV and defects after epitaxial growth have been shown to be challenging for conventional lithography methods. Same is true for high resolution capability of less than 50 nm, which is needed for many photonic applications. EVG s lineup of NIL tools fulfills all above requirements, in order to provide a cost effective, high quality, full-field nano patterning. Advantages of EVG s nano imprint lithography solution: Same tool for imprinting and stamp replication Mask lifetime comparable to lithography masks Room-temperature process without run-out or alignment issues due to thermal expansion in stamp manufacturing and imprinting Control of stamp material (Young s modulus, surface energy...)

EV Group Solutions for Compound Semiconductor Manufacturing Wafer Bonding for Compound Semiconductors Direct wafer bonding for heterogeneous integration of compound semiconductors Several applications as power, RF, biosensing, photovoltaic and photonic devices will benefit from improvements in power efficiency, performance, size, weight, reliability and cost driven by the integration of compound semiconductor materials. These improvements are often referred to as More than Moore, since they are not directly related to lithographic scaling, and they are enabling an ever increasing array of electronic devices and applications. Today s plasma-activated direct bonding processes give additional freedom for the device design and process implementation. It has been proven for several years that most compound semiconductors can be directly bonded on different substrates. This was enabled by plasma-activated fusion bonding, which lowers the required anneal temperatures below critical temperature levels that can cause wafers to break because of the stress induced by differences in the thermal expansion coefficients. This method incorporates a SiO 2 bond interface, which can be as thin as the native oxide. Some devices can benefit from this oxide layer as it reduces parasitic effects like leakage current or cross talk to the substrate. Advantages of fusion bonding for compound semiconductors: Direct stacking of heterogenous compound semiconductors Use of inexpensive carrier substrates for processing and re-use of expensive epitaxial growth wafers Generation of advanced, complex and novel devices stacks by direct wafer bonding Recent technology developments such as EVG s ComBond technology, can provide a covalent oxide-free bond interface. Furthermore, this new approach enables the joining of different materials at very low or room temperature, which keeps the thermally induced stress between the wafers to a minimum. EVG 580 ComBond Automated High-Vacuum wafer Bonding System - Enabling oxide free electrically conductive interfaces The EVG580 ComBond adds a new milestone to EVG s unique portfolio of wafer bonding equipment and technology in response to market needs for more sophisticated integration processes to combine materials with different lattice constant and coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE). Wafer bonding can combine different substrate materials while avoiding defects due to lattice and CTE mismatch that are associated with traditional epitaxial processes. Room-temperature covalent bonding, in particular, is an ideal choice since it eliminates the need for annealing processes, which generate high temperatures that can add additional stress due to CTE mismatch. However, a key limitation of room-temperature covalent bonding has been the inability to maintain tight control of the thickness and uniformity of the bond interface, including effective removal of particle contaminants and the native oxide layers. These are necessary in order to achieve an interface that has both sufficient bond strength and electrical conductivity between the bonded materials. The EVG580 ComBond wafer bonding platform combines several technology breakthroughs to enable the formation of bond interfaces between heterogeneous materials at room temperature while achieving excellent bond strength and electrical conductivity.

Wafer Level Die Bonding The wafer level die transfer bonding concept separates the two processes of chip placement on the wafer and the actual chip-to-wafer bonding process. Nonetheless, a wafer level approach still has several key advantages, such as collective pre-processing of the dies and high bonding throughput. This cannot be provided easily with die-to-die bonding. However, a wafer-level die transfer process combines the best of both worlds, which is the fast distribution of the known good die (KGD) and high-quality direct bonding at the wafer level. Furthermore, this easily allows tuning of bonding conditions as it enables collective bonding at elevated temperatures or even in vacuum conditions. A key requirement to enable such a process is to apply uniform pressure on every single die, not just generally over the whole wafer. As shown in the figure on the right hand side, several issues can occur that inhibit a homogenous pressure distribution. Thus, the process has to be set up to comply with bow and warpage, unevenness of the substrate as well as die height variations. Introducing a compliant layer can compensate for these challenges and enable the application of similar force on the different die, thus providing optimal transfer rates and high bonding yield. In this way, heterogeneous integration can be scaled up to larger substrates and multiple functions can be added to the device wafer even in volume production. Multi-Substrate Bonding EV Group has implemented multi-substrate bonding in combination with a high system throughput. The unique design of EVG s multi-substrate wafer bonders maintain high system flexibility to bond different substrate sizes on the same equipment with minimal changeover time. Field proven compliant layer technology avoids chipping and breakage of valuable wafers. EVG s fully automated wafer bonding system for LED manufacturing offers flexible tool support for metal, adhesive and fusion bonds of various substrate types. Cassette-to-cassette operation, multisubstrate bonding capability and a modular design with up to four swap-in process modules make the EVG500 series the perfect solution for LED manufacturing from R&D to HVM needs. EVG s field proven wafer bonding technology, as well as the unique approach to low temperature metal wafer bonding, results in high throughput and yields.

EV Group Solutions for Compound Semiconductor Manufacturing Back End Wafer Processing EVG OmniSpray for polymeric and photoresist coatings Polymer coatings enable improved functionality for compound semiconductor devices. Besides their use as insulating layers, polymer coatings exhibit advantages for other applications. The low dielectric constant (low-k) of polymers facilitated higher switching frequencies of compound semiconductor devices. In turn, this enables faster data standards. On the other hand, elevated on-chip interconnects called air bridges, are used for the same reason. To cope with reliability demands, these fragile gold structures need rigid support. In addition, polymers such as PBO or BCB are standard for scratch protection layers, as an overcoat to protect the wafer front side for the following back side processing. EVG s OmniSpray technology is a universal coating technology that accomplishes such demanding coating applications. Depending on the application, different types of polymer compounds are available on the market, such as epoxies, polyimides, BCB, PBO or silicones. Varying material characteristics, hence varying process requirements, recommend OmniSpray as universal coating technology. In addition, OmniSpray helps to reduce material usage up to 80%, considerably lowering the bill of material and working on an improved cost-of-ownership. Advantages of EVG s OmniSpray for Compound semiconductors: Reduced resist consumption (up to 80%), especially important for expensive encapsulates such as PBO, BCB or polyimide Universal technology to coat polymers with largely varying solids content and viscosities Ideal for planarization applications (spray / spin process combination) Uniform coating of deep trenches and high aspect ratio features Special setup for high viscosity polymers Ideal for thick resist coating applications Underfill Process with spray and spin coating (courtesy of Agilent Technologies) Spray coated cavities with high topography EVG proprietary OmniSpray resist atomization nozzle EVG 150 Fully-automated Resist Processing System: Coating of thick and thin resists such as required for optical lithography and adhesive packaging Spin and spray coating capability in the same bowl Spray Coating with X-Y Scanning or rotary motion Simplified operator usability and serviceability Reduced process qualification time Minimized footprint for highest fab utilization Fast changeover times for multiple substrate sizes Advanced handling and processing of bowed / warped wafers EVG 150 Fully-automated Resist Processing System up to 200mm EVG 150 Modular tool layout for highest flexibility EVG 150 Modular chemical storage units and advance tool access for optimized serviceabiliy 6

Back End Wafer Processing Optical Lithography Optical lithography is still a work horse for multiple applications in compound semiconductor manufacturing. Device structures on the semiconductor wafer, encapsulation based wafer level packaging, bumping, patterning of through wafer vias (TWV), are just a few of the most common applications. Compound semiconductor specific requirements: Processing of bowed/warped as well as transparent substrates Image recognition of shallow etching-generated topography: Development of special optics to align such low-contrast structures is a key for highest overlay accuracy and maximum process yield. Customized wafer chuck designs for efficient flattening of compound semiconductor wafers and hence a constant print gap Non-contact processing of delicate and brittle compound semiconductor wafer for maximum yield Processing of thin wafers: Thin wafers with sufficient thickness to be self-supportive, can be directly being processed with special handling and process options. If this is not the case, thin wafers are typically carrier mounted and the thin wafers are processed on top. Both EVG aligner platforms the EVG620/EVG6200 series as well as the IQ Aligner are designed for compound semiconductor characteristic processing specifications.

EV Group Solutions for Compound Semiconductor Manufacturing Back Side Wafer Processing Temporary Bonding and Debonding for advanced thin wafer handling Compound semiconductor materials such as GaAs, SiC, LiTaO 3 or InP offer distinct electrical advantages, but typically suffer from the low thermal conductivity. The most effective method for heat transfer is wafer thinning. Due to the brittleness of these materials, thin compound semiconductor wafers are temporarily bonded to a rigid carrier for thinning and back side processing. The bonded wafers can be processed in standard fabs with standard equipment. Thermal management of compound semiconductor devices was the primary driver for thin wafers and devices in the past. Recently, the reduced form factor has become the most important driver. The starting point is a device wafer with complete front-end processing on the front side of the wafer. This device wafer is bonded to a carrier wafer with its front side in the bond interface. After bonding the first step is back-thinning of the wafer. Usually back-thinning is a multistep process consisting of mechanical back-grinding and subsequent stress relief etching and polishing. After back-thinning the back side of the device wafer can be processed using standard wafer fab equipment. The carrier wafer gives mechanical support and stability and protects the fragile wafer edge of the thin wafer. Finally, when all back side processing is done, the wafer gets debonded, cleaned and transferred to a film frame or to other output formats. EV Group provides production equipment for temporary bonding and debonding since 2001. We have the largest install base and are the clear market share leader. EV Group has more than 20 years of experience in wafer bonding.

LowTEMP Debonding EVG ZoneBond Open Platform EVG LowTemp ZoneBOND is a revolutionary breakthrough in thin-wafer processing. It enables room temperature debonding, which is independent of the properties of the temporary adhesive, providing a versatile supply chain with multiple adhesive suppliers. EVG ZoneBond Debonding Technology Features: EVG ZoneBond Open Platform, including license for ZoneBond with multiple adhesives Breaking the link between the debonding method and adhesive properties Fully automated carrier preparation integrated into the high volume manufacturing EVG850TB/DB system Multilayer Adhesive Debonding EVG LowTemp debonding technology includes room temperature multilayer adhesive debonding, where the separation of the carrier and device wafer is initiated mechanically. Several temporary bonding adhesives are available for this debonding solution. EVG Multilayer Adhesive Debonding: Room temperature debonding by mechanical separation Universal equipment technology enabling all common mechanical debond adhesives and techniques Full control and monitoring of the mechanical debonding process Laser-Initiated Debonding The laser debonding process being developed at EVG is based on excimer lasers. For their spectral range, standard glass carriers offer high transmission, keeping carrier cost low. In contrast to laser induced thermal debonding, the ultraviolet light emitted by excimer lasers is absorbed within a few hundred nanometers of the glass/adhesive interface, thereby leaving the thin wafer entirely unaffected. EVG Laser Debonding Technology Features: No thermal stress subjected to the device wafer Lowest cumulative costs in virtue of single adhesive layer technology requiring no additional release layer application High throughput capability using field proven excimer laser technology High thermal resistance up to 350 C Thermal Debonding Thermal Slide-Off Debonding Thermoplastic adhesives are rigid at room temperature, but have reduced viscosity at elevated temperature. This drop in viscosity enables a unique debonding mechanism - thermal slide-off debonding. At the debonding temperature, the viscosity of the adhesive is reduced, which enables a controlled debonding of the thin device wafer from the carrier wafer. Slide-Off Debonding Technology Features: High volume, production proven technology Industry leading thin wafer handling and cleaning technology for highest yield without wafer breakage Market leading solutions in thermal sliding and thin wafer handling Thermal Lift-Off Debonding Multiple dry film adhesive tapes are available for temporary bonding. Dry film adhesive tapes usually consist of a backing foil with adhesive films plus protective liners on both sides. Both adhesive films are bondable, but different debonding mechanisms are used for either side. This allows controlled debonding, whereby the separation between thin device wafer and carrier wafer happens at the interface between device wafer and tape. Next, the tape is peeled off of the carrier wafer, which enables recycling of the carriers. EVG 850TB Spin Coat Module EVG 850DB Debond Module EVG 850DB Film Frame Mount Module 9

EV Group Solutions for Compound Semiconductor Manufacturing Wafer Level Packaging Introduction to Wafer Level Packaging (WLP) Today, wafer level packaging (WLP) is a mainstream technology in micro electro mechanical systems (MEMS) and advanced complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS). Bringing this packaging technology to compound semiconductors enables more compact packages, imperative for consumer devices. The wafer-level approach furthermore helps for cost reduction and ramping to high production volumes. Major benefits for wafer level packaging of compound semiconductors are: Batch fabrication packaging processes Compact packaging possible Increased functional density Improved circuit performance Reduce higher order assembly cost, relax module assembly requirement Hermetic packaging possible These days, WLP is grouped into an cap-based and encapsulation-based packaging approach. Encapsulation-based Wafer Level Packages Encapsulation-based wafer level packaging (WLP) is besides capping-based WLP most prominent in the market right now. Major difference to prior discussed packages formed by wafer bonding is the creation of a protecting shell by thin film deposition. Depending on the requirements of the later package, either inorganic shell materials, for vacuum and hermetic packages, or polymer materials are used. For polymers, shielding is not gas-tight. However, for consumer electronics protection from environmental influences, moisture and dirt, gives sufficient durability. 1. Spin on UV curable resist 4. UV exposure of resist 2.

Wafer Level Packaging Capping-based Wafer Level Packaging Wafer-level capping is already a common process for MEMS and CMOS packaging. However, standard processes from these markets are most of the time not directly applicable to compound semiconductor packaging. A generic manufacturing process is depicted below. Depending on the sealing material, the according bonding temperature is directly influenced, same as the sealing characteristics. Requirements for wafer bonding of compound semiconductor WLP are stringent. Deep know-how of various bonding techniques and decision factors for each of them is one of EVG s strengths. In the case of capping-based WLP, where interlayers in the form of sealing rings are patterned prior to bonding, the following techniques and materials are most prominent in the market right now: Eutectic Bonding Solder Bonding Thermally cured adhesive bonding EVG s extensive experience of more than 25 years in the wafer bonding market guarantees for best bonding results and highest yields.
