Thermoplastic temporary adhesive for silicon handler with infra-red laser wafer de-bonding
A bonding material including a phenoxy resin thermoplastic component, and a carbon black filler component. The carbon black filler component is present in an amount greater than 1 wt. %. The carbon black filler converts the phenoxy resin thermoplastic component from a material that transmits infra-red (IR) wavelengths to a material that absorbs a substantial portion of infra-red (IR) wavelengths.
1. A bonding material comprising:
a phenoxy resin thermoplastic binder consisting of 2-(chloromethyl)oxirane; 4-[2-(4-hydroxyphenyl)propan-2-yl]phenol; and
a carbon black filler component, the carbon black filler component is present in an amount greater than 1 wt % and, wherein the carbon black filler converts the phenoxy resin thermoplastic component from a material that transmits infra-red (IR) wavelengths to a material that absorbs a portion of infra-red (IR) wavelengths, wherein the carbon black is comprised of agglomerates of carbon particles having a diameter ranging from 15 nm to 300 nm, the agglomerates have a size ranging from 1 micron to 100 microns, the bonding material being present between two semiconductor wafers.
2. The bonding material of claim 1 , wherein the IR wavelengths absorbed range from 700 nm to 1 mm.
3. The bonding material of claim 1 , wherein the carbon black filler is present in amounts as great as 15 wt %.
4. The bonding material of claim 1 , wherein viscosity of the bonding material at temperatures ranging from 160° C. to 210° C. may range from 5,000 Pa·sec to 10,000 Pa·sec.
