Background
When an inner cutting blade is used for cutting a monocrystalline silicon, polycrystalline silicon and other crystal block workpieces made of compound semiconductor materials, a neutral cutting fluid is generally widely used for lubricating the space between the blade and the workpiece, reducing the temperature and the frictional heat, and washing away cutting scraps. Some cutting fluids add rust inhibitors to prevent equipment and blades from rusting. Cutting semiconductor crystal blocks mainly depends on the strong mechanical action of a high-speed rotating blade. The machining mode causes the problems of rough cutting marks on the section of the slice, deep broken layer and damaged layer, large residual stress, serious problems of fragments, edge breakage, root breakage and the like, the depth of the damaged layer reaches 30-60 micrometers, the machining amount of the subsequent grinding, polishing and other procedures is increased, materials are wasted, and the machining efficiency and the yield are reduced. Due to the action of the surface energy of the chips and the new cut surfaces, the chips and the surfaces can generate strong adsorption, the chips are not easy to peel and are taken away by the cutting fluid, and the cutting speed is also hindered. In addition, due to the cutting tool and environmental factors, metal ion contamination mainly including iron ions is generated, and the metal ions adhere to the surface of the sliced wafer and permeate into the wafer to cause metal contamination, which seriously affects the quality of the subsequent process of manufacturing the very large scale integrated circuit. The technical personnel in the industry need to develop a cutting fluid which has no metal ion pollution and can improve the cut sheet yield and the finished product qualification rate.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to overcome the defects of the prior art and provide the semiconductor silicon material water-based cutting fluid which has strong chemical action, rust prevention, easy cleaning, good heat dissipation effect and no metal ion pollution and can cut the wafer under the action of both chemistry and machinery.
In order to achieve the purpose, the invention adopts the following technical scheme: a semiconductor silicon material water-based cutting fluid is characterized in that: the pH value regulator mainly comprises polyethylene glycol, a pH value regulator and a chelating agent, and comprises the following components in parts by mass:
30-90 parts of polyethylene glycol (molecular weight 200-1000),
9 to 30 portions of pH value regulator,
1-10 parts of a chelating agent,
the balance of deionized water.
The pH regulator is organic base of polyhydroxy polyamine, such as hydroxyethyl ethylenediamine and triethanolamine.
The chelating agent has more than 13 chelating rings, is metal ion-free, and is a water-soluble ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid tetrakis (tetrahydroxyethylethylenediamine) FA/O chelating agent.
The invention has the beneficial effects that: the existing neutral cutting fluid is improved into alkaline cutting fluid with chemical splitting action and chemical reaction with silicon, so that the single mechanical action in the slicing is changed into uniform and stable chemical mechanical action, and the stress problem in the slicing process is effectively solved to reduce the damage. Meanwhile, the alkaline cutting fluid can avoid acid corrosion of equipment and prolong the service life of the blade. Effectively solves the problem of redeposition of cutting chips and granulated powder, avoids the chemical bonding adsorption phenomenon on the surface of the silicon chip, and is convenient for cleaning and subsequent processing of the silicon chip. The pollution of metal ions, particularly iron ions, is eliminated. The surface damage, mechanical stress and thermal stress of the obtained slice are obviously reduced.
Detailed Description
The following detailed description of the preferred embodiments will be made in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
A water-based cutting fluid for semiconductor silicon materials mainly comprises polyethylene glycol, a pH value regulator and a chelating agent, and comprises the following components in parts by mass:
30-90 parts of polyethylene glycol (molecular weight 200-
pH value regulator 9-30
Chelating agent 1-10
The balance of deionized water.
The pH value regulator is organic alkali of polyhydroxy polyamine such as hydroxyethyl ethylenediamine, triethanolamine and the like.
The chelating agent is an ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid tetra (tetrahydroxyethylethylenediamine) FA/O chelating agent which has more than 13 chelating rings, is free of metal ions and is soluble in water.
Polyethylene glycol can be adsorbed on the surface of solid particles to generate a sufficiently high potential barrier and an electric barrier, so that the adsorption of cutting particles on a new surface is hindered, meanwhile, when a crystal block cracks under the mechanical force action of a cutter, the crystal block can permeate into a micro crack and is directionally arranged on the surface of the micro crack to form the splitting effect of chemical energy, and cutting fluid continues to expand to the deep along the crack to be beneficial to the improvement of cutting efficiency.
The pH value regulator amine alkali is an organic alkali, so that the cutting fluid is alkaline and can react with silicon chemically, as shown in the formula:
the hydroxyl ions generated by the amine alkali react with the silicon and uniformly act on the processed surface of the silicon wafer, so that the residual damage layer of the silicon wafer is reduced, the processing amount of the subsequent procedure is reduced, and the production cost is reduced. The alkaline cutting fluid has a passivation effect on metal, so that the cutting fluid is prevented from corroding equipment and blades, and the service life of the blades is prolonged. The chelating agent FA/O which has more than 13 chelating rings, is free of metal ions and is soluble in water is a product which is developed by the university of Hebei industry for many years and is commonly used in the semiconductor processing industry, has excellent performance of removing the metal ions, and particularly can obviously remove iron ions generated by a blade. Deionized water is the most predominant solvent.
