FIELD
This invention relates generally to a carrier concept for processing a semiconductor device, and more particularly sequentially processing both sides of a product wafer using carriers supporting opposing sides of the product wafer at different times during processing.
BACKGROUND
In the field of semiconductor packaging, it is standard in the industry to process only one side of each of several wafers, and then combine the separately processed wafers together in packaging.
For example, a known MEMS fuel cell uses three substrates in the final product. One substrate is a silicon wafer which has the MEMS device and one substrate is a glass plate which has through silicon vias (TSVs) formed therein. Separate processing of the wafers prior to packaging is common because each die component can require processing steps that have significantly different chemical and temperature parameters. For example, a MEMs wafer is processed differently from a wafer supporting TSVs. Even further, each wafer can have different support requirements during processing due to fragility of certain components and the mentioned processing parameters. Once the separate wafers are processed, they are packaged into various final semiconductor products as known in the art.
BRIEF SUMMARY
Applicants have realized that the current separate processing of wafers prior to packaging can be time consuming, and can prevent further size reduction for certain devices. It is Applicants solution to process both sides of a product wafer, thereby significantly reducing, and even eliminating, a necessity to package multiple and separately processed wafers in a package.
Efforts at processing both sides of a silicon wafer have been contemplated; however, there is a consensus in the art that processing on both sides of a silicon wafer should be avoided. Based upon current known techniques and apparatus for handling product wafers, there is currently no satisfactory way to handle the product wafer and process the product wafer on both sides without damaging the processed side of that wafer.
The Applicants observed, for example in a micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS), that a hermetic cavity can be required in wafer form to protect the MEMS devices during subsequent assembly. In addition, through-silicon-vias (TSVs) are desirable with MEMS in a wafer level hermetic cavity because this approach significantly reduces the size of the die with MEMS, reduces the packaged unit size, and improves the interconnect performance. However, the MEMS device and the wafer level hermetic cavity structures have maximum temperature constraints and mechanical support requirements during the TSV process flow which are incompatible with some TSV process flows.
One solution in the art to combine TSVs with MEMS and a hermetic cavity require that the portion of the TSV process flow, which exposes the TSV tips on the backside of the wafer, be done while mechanically contacting the MEMS and the wafer level hermetic cavity materials and structure. However, this mechanical contact has been found to scratch the MEMS cavity materials and can further be incompatible with the mechanical and chemical fragility of the MEMS structure.
Certain process flow sequences must occur in all standard TSV processing and in standard MEMS flow with a wafer lever hermetic cavity. The Applicants have discovered a process for managing and handling a product wafer without damaging a processed side of the wafer, and without disrupting known process flows. The inventive process can utilize and be implemented with all known process flows, for example forming TSVs, forming MEMS, and forming a hermitic cavity over the MEMS structure, all on the same substrate, and without damaging any of the processed components.
In order to overcome the deficiencies of the art, the Applicants have implemented a “two carrier” sequence in which a first carrier supports the wafer during processing, and a second carrier supports the wafer while processing the opposite side. Each of the carriers can be temporarily adhesively bonded to a surface of the wafer while processing the opposite side. For example, a first carrier can be temporarily adhered to a wafer surface having TSVs formed therein. During the temporary adhesion, the back side of the wafer can be thinned to expose the TSV tips. Subsequent to the back side thinning, the wafer can be transferred to a second carrier and temporarily adhesively bonded thereto. In order to avoid damaging the exposed TSV tips, the temporary adhesive layer can be of a thickness to cover the exposed tips while removably bonding the second carrier. During this supporting of the processed wafer from the back side, the front side can be further processed to include MEMS or similar devices thereon. A hermetic cavity can also be formed over the MEMS at this stage. Because the wafer is supported from the back side at the time of MEMS and hermetic cavity formation, there is no need to support or secure the hermitic cavity in a manner which could cause scratching or damage thereto. Upon release of the second carrier, the wafer, now processed on both sides without damaging components, can proceed to any known subsequent processing.
Accordingly, the process flow in this disclosure solves several problems in the art including scratching and damaging a processed side of the wafer and the ability to use by using two wafer carrier process sequences for handling a product wafer having TSVs, MEMS and a hermetic cavity.
It is to be understood that both the foregoing general description and the following detailed description are exemplary and explanatory only and are not restrictive of the invention, as claimed.

Finally, the first carrier can be attached to the product wafer with wafer bonding equipment. Similarly, the first carrier can be removed in wafer debonding equipment which can transfer the thin silicon product wafer to another carrier or to a dicing tape.
In 330, the method can include thinning a back side of the product wafer to expose TSV tips. Thinning of the substrate to form the thinned substrate can be by any known process to expose tips of the through silicon vias. In certain embodiments, thinning of the substrate can include backgrinding, CMP, and/or etching of the silicon substrate on the back side thereof.

Similarly, the second carrier can be removed in wafer debonding equipment which can transfer the thin silicon product wafer to another carrier or to a dicing tape.
In 360, the method can include adding semiconductor components to the front side of the product wafer. Because the second carrier is attached to the back side of the thinned substrate, the product wafer can be processed through, for example a MEMs process flow, without exposing the front side to a carrier adhesive.
