Description
Grinding wheel for thinning wafer, preparation method, wafer thinning equipment and thinning method The application is a divisional application of an application patent application with the application number 202511543482X, which is filed on the day of 2025, 10 and 28. Technical Field The application relates to the technical field of integrated circuit manufacturing, in particular to a grinding wheel for wafer thinning, a preparation method, wafer thinning equipment and a thinning method. Background Three-dimensional integrated circuits (3D ICs) are an important technological path for the semiconductor industry to continue moore's law, improving chip performance and integration. The core idea is to stack a plurality of chips or functional layers in a vertical direction, and realize interlayer electrical connection Through-Silicon Via (TSV) and other interconnection technologies, so as to realize higher functional density in a limited space. Wafer thinning is a critical support process in 3D IC fabrication, the main purpose of which is to thin the wafer from the original thickness to an ultra-thin state suitable for vertical integration. Ultra-thin wafers are the physical basis for achieving 3D stacking and are critical to optimizing electrical performance and thermal management. As the number of stacked layers of 3D ICs increases, the demand for thickness reduction of individual wafers is becoming increasingly stringent. Meanwhile, 3D IC technology places extremely high demands on the surface quality of thinned wafers, including excellent total thickness bias (Total Thickness Variation, TTV) and extremely low surface roughness (Roughness Average, ra), to ensure accuracy, uniformity and stability of subsequent bonding processes. To achieve the above-mentioned thinning objective, the wafer thinning apparatus generally processes an ultrathin wafer by using a physical grinding action of a grinding wheel. The equipment has to precisely design and control the grinding structure and the grinding process, and can meet the processing requirements (such as thickness is less than or equal to 10 mu m, TTV is less than or equal to 1.5 mu m and Ra is less than or equal to 5 nm) of ultrathin wafers, and simultaneously, the manufacturing cost and the production efficiency are both considered. The basic composition of the grinding wheel is abrasive, binding agent and filler. The traditional grinding wheel filler such as feldspar, quartz sand and the like has the remarkable defects of (1) high brittleness, (2) remarkable stress concentration effect and (3) insufficient interfacial binding force with a binding agent. In the dynamic grinding process, the grinding wheel is extremely easy to generate microcrack expansion and subsurface damage layers due to the defects of the filler, and the damage can reduce the mechanical property of the grinding wheel, so that the flatness and long-term reliability of the thinned wafer are indirectly affected. Particularly, when an ultrathin wafer is processed, the problem of interface failure of a filler matrix not only directly pollutes the surface of the wafer, but also causes irregular abrasion of a grinding surface of a grinding wheel, so that the service life of the grinding wheel is greatly shortened, stable grinding force control and processing precision are difficult to maintain, and finally, the wafer flatness index exceeds the allowable process range. Disclosure of Invention The application provides a grinding wheel for thinning a wafer, a preparation method, wafer thinning equipment and a thinning method, which are used for solving or relieving at least one of the problems.
