【発明の属する技術分野】
この発明は、電子部品などを加工するフォトファブリケーション技術において、フォトレジストを光学的手段により剥離除去するフォトレジスト剥離除去方法及び装置に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
電子機器の多くに含まれる回路基板やIT機器関連の微細な電子部品等各種の加工部品にフォトファブリケーション技術が用いられ、その需要は増々増大している。フォトファブリケーションの加工工程では、例えば回路基板を作る場合、まずシリコン、炭素繊維又は金属の基板を十分洗浄してレジストを塗布し、所望の回路パターンが印刷されたマスクを通して紫外光で露光してレジストパターンを得る。
【0003】
この場合、露光された部分が残るレジストはネガ型、溶解するレジストはポジ型と呼ばれる。いずれかのレジストを残した状態でエッチングにより、もしくはイオンのドープ又は金属の蒸着などによりパターン加工をし、最後にレジストを剥離する。場合によってはこの工程が繰り返されることになる。
【0004】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
かかるフォトファブリケーションの加工工程では、フォトレジストの剥離除去工程に薬品による溶解除去、又は膨潤剥離除去の手法が用いられるが、特に最終工程のレジスト剥離のため大量の薬品と水が用いられ、これに伴う薬品廃液の処理や水資源の濫用などの問題が生産量の増大に伴って増々深刻になっている。
【0005】
このため、紫外線露光で回路パターンを形成した後、残留するレジストを化学薬品でなく光学的手段により剥離する手法が所望されているが、現在までにそのような手段を提案されたことがなく、そこで本発明者等は鋭意努力の結果レーザ光の光学的手段により剥離し得る現象を見出し、これに基づいて本発明を提案するに至ったのである。
【0006】
即ち、この発明は、上記の問題に留意し、フォトレジストを光学的手段により剥離除去して環境汚染、水資源の濫用を防止し、生産性の向上を図ることができるフォトレジストの剥離除去方法及び装置を提供することを課題とする。
【0007】
【課題を解決するための手段】
この発明は、上記の課題を解決する手段として、短パルスのレーザ光をレーザ光源から伝送し、伝送されたレーザ光を基板上に塗布又はラミネートされたフォトレジスト又はそれ以上の長さに調整してフォトレジストに照射し、その際照射されるレーザ光がフォトレジストの膜厚、材質に対応してフォトレジストと基板の界面で熱衝撃剥離現象を生じ、剥離するに十分な光強度となるようにレーザ光の幅を調整し、この調整されたレーザ光をフォトレジストに所定時間照射しながら基板を相対的に移動させてフォトレジストを基板から剥離除去するフォトレジスト剥離除去方法としたのである。
【0008】
上記の方法を実施する装置として、短パルスのレーザ光を発生するレーザ発生装置と、発生したレーザ光を光学伝送路を経由して伝送し、そのレーザ光を所定の長さ、幅の帯状のレーザ光に拡幅調整して対象物に照射する照射ヘッドと、対象物のフォトレジストを塗布又はラミネートされた基板を搬送する搬送手段とを備え、上記照射ヘッドがフォトレジストの幅又はそれ以上の長さに調整したレーザ光を、フォトレジストの膜厚、材質に対応してフォトレジストと基板の界面で熱衝撃剥離現象を生じ、剥離するに十分な光強度に拡幅調整するように構成され、この調整されたレーザ光をフォトレジストに所定時間照射しながら基板を移動させてフォトレジストを基板から剥離除去するようにしたフォトレジストの剥離除去装置とすることができる。
【0009】
かかるフォトレジストの剥離除去方法及び装置によれば、フォトレジストを光学的手段により剥離除去でき、フォトレジストの除去のため大量の水資源の使用や薬品廃液を処理する必要がなくなる。伝送されるレーザ光は、フォトレジストに照射される前に拡幅調整が行なわれる。この拡幅調整は、フォトレジストに対し細い帯状のレーザ光としてレジスト幅方向に均等化した状態で照射できるように幅が拡大され、かつその拡散照射されるレーザ光の強度が下記の熱衝撃剥離現象を基板とフォトレジストの界面に生じるに十分なエネルギとなるよう調整が行なわれる。
【0010】
上記熱衝撃剥離現象とはレーザ光を照射することにより基板には損傷、変形を生じることなく、フォトレジストが基板から剥離し、変質又は破損する現象であり、本発明者等により初めて観測され、定義される現象であって、次のような現象を伴うものと定義される。
1.基板とフォトレジストの界面においてレーザ光の照射による急激な温度上昇を伴い、かつ両者の熱膨張係数の差によってフォトレジストが急激に膨張して基板から剥離する。
2.フォトレジストに含まれている接着成分が気化することにより界面に気泡が生じ、その気泡圧力によりフォトレジストが膨張変形して剥離する。
3.フォトレジストの変質により基板への密着性(結合性)を保つことができなくなり、かつ脆弱化して剥離する。
【0011】
レーザ光は細い帯状でフォトレジストに照射されるから、基板上のフォトレジスト全長に亘ってフォトレジストを剥離除去するため、照射されるレーザ光を移動させるか、又は基板を移動させてレーザ光がフォトレジストの全長に照射されるようにする。剥離されたフォトレジストは、基板から遊離し、かつ変質して剥離され、エアーを吹付けると舞い上がる。これを吸引装置で吸引すればフォトレジストを機械的に処理できる。
【0012】
【実施の形態】
以下、この発明の実施の形態について図面を参照して説明する。図1に実施形態のフォトレジスト剥離除去装置の全体概略構成図を示す。図示のように、フォトレジスト剥離除去装置は、搬送装置(コンベア)C上に載置されたフォトレジストを塗布又はラミネートされた基板K(K1 〜K3 )を搬送しながらレーザ光を照射することにより基板Kからフォトレジストを剥離除去するように構成されている。レーザ光は、レーザ発生装置10から所定波長、強度のレーザ光として送り出され、伝送経路11の反射ミラー11aと光伝送管11bを経由して所定位置に設置されている照射ヘッド12へ送られ、この照射ヘッド12から基板K上のフォトレジストに照射される。
【0013】
図示のレーザ発生装置10は、Nd:YAGの固体レーザが使用されている。その発振波長は532nmの短パルスレーザ光であり、Qスイッチを備え、光エネルギ800mJ/cm2 のレーザ光を周波数10Hzで出力する。反射ミラー11aを含む伝送経路11で伝送されたレーザ光は照射ヘッド12で集光、拡幅されてフォトレジストに帯状(線状)のレーザ光として照射される。この照射ヘッド12は、詳細な機構は示していないが、位置移動可能に設けられており、レーザ光の強度分布を均一化し、又基板の大きさに適した長さ・幅のシートビームへ整形するための役目をする。
【0014】
上記伝送経路の最下流位置の反射ミラー11aは、図示していない可動アームカバー内に設置され、この可動アームカバーを移動させることによりレーザ発生装置からのレーザ光を伝送し、かつ照射ヘッドの移動を可能とし、レーザ光を所望の位置へ照射することができる。
【0015】
照射ヘッド12の下流側には剥離したフォトレジストを下流方向へ吹き付けるエアー吹付ノズル13と、さらにその後方に吹付けにより舞い上がったフォトレジスト塵を吸引して回収するための吸引装置14(クリーナ)が設けられている。なお、搬送装置Cは、回路基板K(K1 〜K3 )を載置するのに適した、例えばベルトコンベアのような形式であればよい。又、レーザ発生装置10、エアー吹付ノズル13、吸引装置14、搬送装置CのモータMは、制御装置20によりレーザ光の発光タイミング、照射時間、各装置のモータの駆動について制御が行なわれる。
【0016】
上記の構成とした実施形態のフォトレジスト剥離除去装置では、レーザ光の照射に基づく熱衝撃剥離現象(熱ショック)により回路基板K上のフォトレジストが剥離除去される。この装置で処理の対象とされるフォトレジストは、図示しない別の処理工程で、従来技術の欄で説明したように、回路基板K上にフォトレジストを塗布又はラミネートしたものである。この別の処理工程では、予めフォトレジストは、回路基板K上に塗布された後、電子回路のパターンに相当するポジ型又はネガ型のフォトレジストとして残る。
【0017】
この回路基板にエッチング加工などの必要な加工処理を施した後はフォトレジストは不要となり、この残留するフォトレジストを基板表面から全面的に除去することを前提として、この実施形態の除去装置に搬送され、フォトレジストの剥離除去処理が行なわれる。
【0018】
このような処理を行なうことを目的としてフォトレジストを有する回路基板K1 が搬送装置Cにより、例えば図示の例では60cm/分の速度で送られ、照射ヘッド12の真下に来るとレーザ光の照射が行なわれ、フォトレジストの剥離除去作業が開始される。以下の処理は図2を参照して説明する。(a)図の断面を有する基板BにフォトレジストRを含む回路基板K(加工前)に対し、(b)図に示すように、所定強度の短パルスのレーザ光を照射する。この場合、所定強度とはフォトレジストに対し熱衝撃剥離現象が生じ得るレーザ光の強度である。熱衝撃剥離現象とは前述した定義に従う現象である。
【0019】
このような現象を生じるように、上述した短パルスのレーザ光を一定周波数の周期で繰返し照射しながら、搬送装置Cにより回路基板Kを(c)図から(d)図へ少しずつ送ると、その間にフォトレジストRは少しずつ熱衝撃剥離により基板Bから剥離される。このような剥離をフォトレジストに対して、その送り方向の始端から終端まで回路基板Kを搬送して続けることにより、(e)図、(f)図に示すように、フォトレジストの全長を剥離することができる。
【0020】
(g)図に示すように、変質して剥離されたフォトレジストRは全体的に基板Bから面状に剥離された剥離片となり、基板Bから離れるため、エアーの吹付ノズル13からエアーを吹付けられると空間上へ舞い上がり、搬送方向の下流側へと移動する。すると、吹付ノズル13の後方に設置されている吸引装置14により吸引されてフォトレジストRの剥離片は処理される。従って、従来のようにフォトレジストの剥離のために溶液で溶解させるというウェット処理工程が不要となり、フォトレジストRの剥離が高効率に、かつ環境汚染を生じることなく行なえることとなる。
【0021】
なお、上記実施形態では、基板の材料は特に限定していないが、図示の例では金属(Ni合金)が用いられ、その他半導体、ガラス、炭素繊維、セラミックなど各種の材料を採用できる。又、短パルスのレーザ発生装置は、光エネルギが照射位置で上記熱衝撃剥離現象を生じ得る強度となるレーザ光を発振できればよく、固体レーザ、エキシマレーザのような気体レーザ、あるいは半導体レーザなどレーザの発振形式を問わず、いずれの形式のレーザ発生装置を用いてもよい。
【0022】
【実施例】
上記のフォトレジストの剥離除去方法を実施する装置による回路基板Kの処理の例については次の通りである。
上記レーザ発生装置10からのレーザ光は、フォトレジストに照射される際に500×1mm2 =5cm2 の面積に照射される。従って、800/5=160mJ/cm2 の光強度に平均化した光で照射され、この光エネルギレベルで十分な剥離除去が得られた。
【0023】
【発明の効果】
以上、詳細に説明したように、この発明のフォトレジストの剥離除去方法及び装置では、レーザ光をフォトレジストと基板の界面に熱衝撃剥離現象を生じるに必要な強度に拡幅調整してフォトレジストに照射するようにし、レーザ光又は基板のいずれかを移動させて全長に亘ってフォトレジストにレーザ光を照射するようにしたから、フォトレジストを光学的手段により効率よく剥離除去でき、従って環境汚染、水資源の大量消費を防止し、フォトレジストの剥離除去作業を機械化して生産性を飛躍的に向上させることができるという顕著な効果を奏する。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a photoresist stripping removal method and apparatus for stripping and removing a photoresist by optical means in a photofabrication technique for processing an electronic component or the like.
[0002]
[Prior art]
The photofabrication technology is used for various processed parts such as circuit boards and fine electronic parts related to IT equipment included in many electronic devices, and the demand for them is increasing. In the photofabrication processing step, for example, when making a circuit board, first, a silicon, carbon fiber, or metal substrate is thoroughly washed and a resist is applied, and then exposed to ultraviolet light through a mask on which a desired circuit pattern is printed. A resist pattern is obtained.
[0003]
In this case, the resist in which the exposed portion remains is called a negative type, and the dissolved resist is called a positive type. Pattern processing is performed by etching or ion doping or metal deposition with any resist left, and finally the resist is peeled off. In some cases, this process is repeated.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
In such photofabrication processing steps, chemical removal or swollen peeling removal techniques are used in the photoresist peeling and removal process, but a large amount of chemicals and water are used particularly for the resist peeling in the final process. The problems such as the treatment of chemical waste liquid and the abuse of water resources are becoming more serious as the production volume increases.
[0005]
For this reason, after forming a circuit pattern by ultraviolet exposure, a method of peeling the remaining resist by optical means instead of chemicals is desired, but no such means has been proposed so far, Therefore, as a result of diligent efforts, the present inventors have found a phenomenon that can be peeled off by optical means of laser light, and have come to propose the present invention based on this phenomenon.
[0006]
That is, this invention pays attention to the above-mentioned problem, and strips and removes the photoresist by optical means to prevent environmental pollution and abuse of water resources, thereby improving the productivity of the photoresist. And providing an apparatus.
[0007]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
As a means for solving the above problems, the present invention transmits a short pulse laser beam from a laser light source, and adjusts the transmitted laser beam to a photoresist coated or laminated on a substrate or a longer length. Irradiate the photoresist, and the laser beam irradiated at that time will cause a thermal shock peeling phenomenon at the interface between the photoresist and the substrate corresponding to the film thickness and material of the photoresist so that the light intensity is sufficient for peeling. The width of the laser beam is adjusted, and the photoresist is peeled and removed from the substrate by relatively moving the substrate while irradiating the photoresist with the adjusted laser light for a predetermined time.
[0008]
As an apparatus for carrying out the above method, a laser generator that generates laser light of a short pulse, and the generated laser light is transmitted via an optical transmission path, and the laser light is in a band-like shape having a predetermined length and width. An irradiation head for adjusting the width of the laser beam to irradiate the object, and a conveying means for conveying a substrate coated or laminated with the photoresist of the object, wherein the irradiation head is longer than the width of the photoresist. The laser beam adjusted to the thickness is subjected to a thermal shock peeling phenomenon at the interface between the photoresist and the substrate corresponding to the film thickness and material of the photoresist, and is configured to widen and adjust the light intensity to be sufficient for peeling. A photoresist stripping / removing apparatus in which the photoresist is peeled off from the substrate by moving the substrate while irradiating the photoresist with the adjusted laser light for a predetermined time. Kill.
[0009]
According to the method and apparatus for stripping and removing a photoresist, the photoresist can be stripped and removed by optical means, and it is not necessary to use a large amount of water resources or to treat a chemical waste liquid for removing the photoresist. The laser beam to be transmitted is subjected to widening adjustment before being irradiated onto the photoresist. This widening adjustment increases the width of the photoresist so that it can be irradiated as a narrow strip of laser light in the resist width direction, and the intensity of the laser light that is diffused is as follows. Is adjusted to a sufficient energy to generate at the interface between the substrate and the photoresist.
[0010]
The thermal shock peeling phenomenon is a phenomenon in which a photoresist is peeled off from a substrate without being damaged or deformed by irradiating a laser beam, and is altered or damaged, which is first observed by the present inventors. It is defined as a phenomenon that is accompanied by the following phenomenon.
1. The photoresist is rapidly expanded at the interface between the substrate and the photoresist due to laser light irradiation, and the photoresist expands rapidly due to the difference in thermal expansion coefficient between the two and peels off the substrate.
2. When the adhesive component contained in the photoresist is vaporized, bubbles are generated at the interface, and the photoresist is expanded and deformed by the pressure of the bubbles to be peeled off.
3. Due to the alteration of the photoresist, the adhesion (bonding) to the substrate cannot be maintained, and it becomes brittle and peels off.
[0011]
Since the laser beam is applied to the photoresist in a thin strip shape, the irradiated laser beam is moved or the substrate is moved to remove the photoresist over the entire length of the photoresist on the substrate. The entire length of the photoresist is irradiated. The stripped photoresist is released from the substrate, denatured and stripped, and rises when air is blown. If this is sucked with a suction device, the photoresist can be mechanically processed.
[0012]
Embodiment
Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 shows an overall schematic configuration diagram of a photoresist stripping and removing apparatus according to an embodiment. As shown in the figure, the photoresist stripping / removing apparatus irradiates a laser beam while transporting a substrate K (K 1 to K 3 ) coated or laminated with a photoresist placed on a transport apparatus (conveyor) C. Thus, the photoresist is peeled off from the substrate K. The laser light is sent out from the

[0016]
In the photoresist stripping / removing apparatus according to the embodiment configured as described above, the photoresist on the circuit board K is stripped and removed by a thermal shock stripping phenomenon (thermal shock) based on laser light irradiation. The photoresist to be processed by this apparatus is obtained by applying or laminating a photoresist on the circuit board K in another processing step (not shown) as described in the section of the prior art. In this other processing step, the photoresist is previously applied on the circuit board K and then remains as a positive or negative photoresist corresponding to the pattern of the electronic circuit.
[0017]
After the circuit board is subjected to necessary processing such as etching, the photoresist is no longer necessary, and it is transported to the removal apparatus of this embodiment on the premise that the remaining photoresist is completely removed from the substrate surface. Then, the photoresist is removed and removed.
[0018]
For the purpose of performing such processing, a circuit board K 1 having a photoresist is fed by the transfer device C at a speed of, for example, 60 cm / min in the illustrated example. Is performed, and the photoresist stripping work is started. The following processing will be described with reference to FIG. (A) A circuit board K (before processing) including a photoresist R on a substrate B having a cross section shown in the figure is irradiated with a short-pulse laser beam having a predetermined intensity as shown in FIG. In this case, the predetermined intensity is the intensity of the laser beam that can cause a thermal shock peeling phenomenon to the photoresist. The thermal shock peeling phenomenon is a phenomenon according to the above-described definition.
[0019]
In order to cause such a phenomenon, while repeatedly irradiating the above-described short pulse laser beam at a constant frequency period, the circuit board K is sent little by little from the (c) diagram to the (d) diagram by the transfer device C. Meanwhile, the photoresist R is peeled off from the substrate B by thermal shock peeling little by little. By stripping the entire length of the photoresist as shown in FIGS. (E) and (f), the circuit board K is continuously transported from the beginning to the end in the feeding direction. can do.
[0020]
(G) As shown in the figure, the denatured and peeled photoresist R becomes an exfoliated piece that is exfoliated as a whole from the substrate B and is separated from the substrate B, so that air is blown from the
[0021]
In the above embodiment, the material of the substrate is not particularly limited. However, in the illustrated example, metal (Ni alloy) is used, and various other materials such as semiconductor, glass, carbon fiber, and ceramic can be adopted. The short pulse laser generator only needs to be able to oscillate laser light whose intensity is sufficient to cause the thermal shock delamination phenomenon at the irradiation position, and is a laser such as a solid state laser, a gas laser such as an excimer laser, or a semiconductor laser. Regardless of the oscillation type, any type of laser generator may be used.
[0022]
【Example】
An example of processing of the circuit board K by the apparatus for carrying out the above-described method for removing and removing the photoresist is as follows.
The laser beam from the
[0023]
【The invention's effect】
As described above in detail, in the photoresist stripping removal method and apparatus according to the present invention, the laser beam is widened and adjusted to the intensity necessary to cause a thermal shock stripping phenomenon at the interface between the photoresist and the substrate. Since the irradiation is performed and either the laser beam or the substrate is moved so that the photoresist is irradiated with the laser beam over the entire length, the photoresist can be efficiently stripped and removed by optical means, and thus environmental pollution, There is a remarkable effect that mass consumption of water resources can be prevented, and the stripping and removing work of the photoresist can be mechanized to greatly improve productivity.
