Recognition method of a mark provided on a semiconductor device
View Patent ↗A high-contrast image recognition can be performed by recognizing an image of a recognition mark from a back surface of a wafer by a visible-light camera by irradiating a visible light from a circuit pattern surface of a silicon substrate. A thickness of the silicon substrate is set to 5 μm to 50 μm. A white or visible light having a wavelength equal to or less than 800 nm is irradiated onto the circuit-pattern forming surface of the substrate. A visible light that has transmitted through the silicon substrate is received by a visible-light camera on a side of a back surface of the silicon substrate. An image of a recognition mark formed on the circuit-pattern forming surface of the silicon substrate is recognized by the visible-light camera.

3. The mark recognition method as claimed in claim 2 , wherein said visible light is a red light and said protective film is made of polyimide resin.
4. The mark recognition method as claimed in claim 2 , wherein a contrast of the recognition mark in the recognized image is increased by increasing a ratio of a thickness of said protective film to a thickness of said silicon substrate.
5. A mounting method of a semiconductor device manufactured by the manufacturing method of claim 1 , the mounting method comprising the steps of:
irradiating a white or visible light having a wavelength equal to or less than 800 nm onto the circuit-pattern forming surface of the substrate;
receiving the visible light that has transmitted through said silicon substrate by a visible-light camera from a side of a back surface of said silicon substrate; and
recognizing an image of a recognition mark formed on the circuit-pattern forming surface of the semiconductor device so as to recognize a position of the semiconductor device; and
vacuum-holding the semiconductor device from the side of the back surface in accordance with a result of the position recognition, and moving and mounting the semiconductor device onto a mounting substrate in a state where the circuit-pattern forming surface faces said mounting substrate.
6. The mounting method as claimed in claim 5 , wherein said recognition mark is a part where a protective film for protecting the circuit pattern of said silicon substrate is partially removed.
7. A manufacturing method of a semiconductor device using a silicon substrate on which a plurality of semiconductor devices are formed simultaneously, comprising the steps of:
grinding a back surface of the silicon substrate so as to reduce a thickness to 5 μm to 50 μm;
irradiating a white or visible light having a wavelength equal to or less than 800 nm onto a circuit-pattern forming surface of said silicon substrate;
receiving the visible light after transmitting through said silicon substrate on a side of the back surface of said silicon substrate;
recognizing an image of a recognition mark formed along dicing lines formed on the circuit-pattern forming surface of said silicon substrate; and
individualizing the semiconductor devices by dicing from the side of the back surface of said silicon substrate based on a result of the image recognition.

forming a protective film protecting the circuit pattern formed on said silicon substrate; and
removing a part of the protective film along the dicing lines so that the removed part is used as the recognition mark.
9. The manufacturing method as claimed in claim 7 , further comprising the steps of:
applying a protective film onto the circuit pattern forming surface of said silicon substrate before grinding said silicon substrate;
irradiating a visible light onto the circuit-pattern forming surface through the protective tape while the protective film is attached to said silicon substrate after grinding said silicon substrate;
recognizing an image of the recognition mark along the dicing lines from the side of the back surface of said silicon substrate; and
dicing said silicon substrate by using said protective film applied on said silicon substrate as a dicing tape.
10. The manufacturing method as claimed in claim 7 , further comprising the step of recognizing a lot number and an identification number provided on said silicon substrate by using the visible light after transmitting through said silicon substrate on the side of the back surface of said silicon substrate.
