Abstract

半导体器件具有在载体之上形成的粘合层。半导体小片具有在半导体小片的有源表面之上形成的凸块。将半导体小片安装到载体,其中凸块部分设置在粘合层中,以便形成半导体小片与粘合层之间的间隙。将封装剂沉积在半导体小片之上以及半导体小片与粘合层之间的间隙中。去除载体和粘合层,以便从封装剂露出凸块。绝缘层在封装剂之上形成。按照缠绕配置在绝缘层之上形成导电层以呈现电感性质,并且所述导电层电连接到凸块。导电层部分设置在半导体小片的占用面积中。导电层具有由间隙和绝缘层所确定的与半导体小片的分隔。

Description

形成与半导体小片垂直分隔的互连层中的电感器的半导体器件和方法
技术领域
一般来说,本发明涉及半导体器件,并且更具体来说,涉及形成具有与半导体小片垂直分隔的互连层中的电感器的半导体器件和方法。
背景技术
半导体器件常见于现代电子产品中。半导体器件在电子组件的数量和密度方面有所不同。分立半导体器件一般包含一种类型的电组件,例如发光二极管(LED)、小信号晶体管、电阻器、电容器、电感器和功率金属氧化物半导体场效应晶体管(MOSFET)。集成半导体器件通常包含数百至数百万电组件。集成半导体器件的示例包括微控制器、微处理器、电荷耦合器件(CCD)、太阳能电池和数字微镜器件(DMD)。
半导体器件执行大量功能,例如信号处理、高速计算、传送和接收电磁信号、控制电子装置、将太阳光变换成电力以及创建用于电视显示的可视投影。半导体器件见于娱乐、通信、功率转换、网络、计算机和消费者产品的领域。半导体器件还见于军事应用、航空、汽车、工业控制器和办公设备。
半导体器件利用半导体材料的电性质。半导体材料的原子结构允许其电导率通过施加电场或基极电流或者经由掺杂过程来操纵。掺杂将杂质引入半导体材料,以便操纵和控制半导体器件的导电率。
半导体器件包含有源和无源电结构。包括双极和场效应晶体管的有源结构控制电流的流动。通过改变掺杂水平和电场或基极电流的施加,晶体管促进或限制电流的流动。包括电阻器、电容器和电感器的无源结构创建执行各种电功能所需的电压与电流之间的关系。无源和有源结构经电连接以形成电路,该电路使半导体器件能够执行高速计算和其它有用功能。
半导体器件一般使用各潜在地涉及数百个步骤的两个复杂制造过程来制造,即前端制造和后端制造。前端制造涉及在半导体晶圆的表面上形成多个小片。各小片通常是相同的,并且包含通过电连接有源和无源组件所形成的电路。后端制造涉及从成品晶圆来切分(singulate)单独小片,并且封装小片以便提供结构支承和环境隔离。
半导体制造的一个目标是产生更小的半导体器件。更小的器件通常消耗更少功率,具有更高性能,并且能够更有效地生产。另外,更小的半导体器件具有更小占用面积,这对于较小最终产品是合乎需要的。较小小片尺寸可通过前端过程的改进来实现,从而产生具有更小、更高密度的有源和无源组件的小片。通过电互连和封装材料的改进,后端过程可产生具有较小占用面积的半导体器件封装。
半导体制造的另一个目标是产生更高性能的半导体器件。装置性能的增加能够通过形成能够工作在更高速度的有源组件来实现。在诸如射频(RF)无线通信之类的高频应用中,集成无源器件(IPD)往往包含在半导体器件中。IPD的示例包括电阻器、电容器和电感器。一种典型RF系统要求一个或多个半导体封装中的多个IPD来执行必要的电功能。
电感器能够在半导体小片中形成。但是,集成小片电感器往往部分由于涡流损耗而遭受低Q因子。集成电感器消耗相当大的小片面积,并且降低设计灵活性。

具体实施方式
在以下描述中参照附图、通过一个或多个实施例来描述本发明,附图中,相似标号表示相同或相似元件。虽然按照用于实现本发明的目标的最佳模式来描述本发明,但是本领域的技术人员会理解,预计涵盖可包含在所附权利要求书所定义的本发明及以下公开和附图所支持的其等效方案的精神和范围之内的备选、修改和等效方案。
半导体器件一般使用两个复杂制造过程来制造:前端制造和后端制造。前端制造涉及在半导体晶圆的表面上形成多个小片。晶圆上的各小片包含有源和无源电组件,它们经电连接以形成功能电路。诸如晶体管和二极管之类的有源电组件具有控制电流的流动的能力。诸如电容器、电感器、电阻器和变压器之类的无源电组件创建执行电路功能所需的电压与电流之间的关系。
通过包括掺杂、沉积、光刻、蚀刻和平面化的一系列过程步骤,在半导体晶圆的表面之上形成无源和有源组件。掺杂通过诸如离子注入或热扩散之类的技术,将杂质引入半导体材料。掺杂过程修改有源器件中的半导体材料的电导率,从而将半导体材料变换为绝缘体、导电体,或者响应电场或基极电流而动态改变半导体材料导电率。晶体管包含根据需要所设置的可变类型和程度的掺杂的区域,以便在施加电场或基极电流时使晶体管能够促进或限制电流的流动。
有源和无源组件通过具有不同电性质的材料层来形成。能够通过部分由所沉积材料的类型所确定的各种沉积技术来形成层。例如,薄膜沉积可涉及化学气相沉积(CVD)、物理气相沉积(PVD)、电镀和非电解镀过程。一般对各层形成图案以形成有源组件、无源组件或者组件之间的电连接的部分。
能够使用光刻来对层形成图案,这涉及在将要形成图案的层之上沉积光敏材料、如光致抗蚀剂。使用光线将图案从光掩模转印到光致抗蚀剂。使用溶剂去除经受光线的光致抗蚀剂图案的部分,从而露出待形成图案的基础层的部分。去除光致抗蚀剂的其余部分,从而留下形成图案的层。备选地,通过使用诸如非电解镀和电镀之类的技术将材料直接沉积到前一个沉积/蚀刻过程所形成的区域或空隙(void)中,来对一些类型的材料形成图案。
将材料薄膜沉积在现有图案之上能够扩大基本图案并且创建非均匀平坦表面。需要均匀平坦表面以产生更小并且更密集封装的有源和无源组件。平面化能够用于从晶圆的表面去除材料,并且产生均匀平坦表面。平面化涉及采用抛光垫来抛光晶圆的表面。在抛光期间将研磨材料和腐蚀性化学品添加到晶圆的表面。研磨剂的机械作用和化学品的腐蚀作用的结合去除任何不规则拓扑,从而产生均匀平坦表面。
后端制造表示将成品晶圆切割或切分为单独小片,并且然后封装小片供结构支承和环境隔离。为了对小片进行切分,沿称作锯道(sawstreet)或锯痕(scribe)的晶圆的非功能区域来将晶圆划线和分离。使用激光切割工具或锯条来对晶圆进行切分。在切分之后,单独小片被安装到包括引脚或接触片供与其它系统组件互连的封装衬底。在半导体小片之上形成的接触片则连接到封装中的接触片。电连接能够采用焊料凸块、螺柱凸块(studbump)、导电膏或丝焊来制作。封装剂或其它成型材料沉积在封装之上,以便提供物理支承和电绝缘。然后,将成品封装插入电气系统,并且使半导体器件的功能性为其它系统组件可用。
图1示出具有芯片承载衬底或印刷电路板(PCB)52的电子装置50,其中多个半导体封装安装在其表面上。电子装置50可根据应用而具有一种类型的半导体封装或者多种类型的半导体封装。为了便于说明,在图1中示出不同类型的半导体封装。
电子装置50可以是使用半导体封装来执行一个或多个电功能的独立系统。备选地,电子装置50可以是较大系统的子组件。例如,电子装置50可以是蜂窝电话、个人数字助理(PDA)、数字摄像机(DVC)或者其它电子通信装置的一部分。备选地,电子装置50能够是图形卡、网络接口卡或者能够插入计算机中的其它信号处理卡。半导体封装能够包括微处理器、存储器、专用集成电路(ASIC)、逻辑电路、模拟电路、RF电路、分立装置或者其它半导体小片或电组件。小型化和重量降低对这些产品被市场接受是必不可少的。半导体器件之间的距离必须减小,以便实现更高密度。

在一些实施例中,半导体器件具有两个封装级。第一级封装是一种用于将半导体小片机械和电附连到中间载体的技术。第二级封装涉及将中间载体机械和电附连到PCB。在其它实施例中,半导体器件可以仅具有第一级封装,其中将小片直接机械和电安装到PCB。
为了便于说明,在PCB52上示出包括丝焊封装56和倒装芯片58的若干类型的第一级封装。另外,包括球栅阵列(BGA)60、凸块芯片载体(BCC)62、双列直插封装(DIP)64、平面栅格阵列(LGA)66、多芯片模块(MCM)68、四边扁平无引线封装(QFN)70和四边扁平封装72的若干类型的第二级封装示为安装在PCB52上。取决于系统要求,采用第一和第二级封装样式的任何组合所配置的半导体封装以及其它电子组件的任何组合能够连接到PCB52。在一些实施例中,电子装置50包括单个附连半导体封装,而其它实施例要求多个互连封装。通过在单个衬底之上组合一个或多个半导体封装,制造商能够将预制组件加入电子装置和系统中。由于半导体封装包括复杂功能性,所以电子装置能够使用更低价组件和流水线制造过程来制造。所产生的装置不太可能出故障并且制造价格不太高,从而对消费者带来更低成本。
