Detailed description of the invention
For enabling above-mentioned purpose of the present invention, feature and advantage more become apparent, and are described in detail below to the specific embodiment of the present invention.
Set forth detail in the following description so that fully understand the present invention.But the present invention can be different from alternate manner described here to implement with multiple, those skilled in the art can when without prejudice to doing similar popularization when intension of the present invention.Therefore the present invention is not by the restriction of following public detailed description of the invention.
Please refer to Fig. 1, Fig. 1 is each area schematic of semiconductor structure.In Fig. 1, first area 1 and second area 2 are rectangular area, and first area 1 surrounds second area 2.First area 1 and second area 2 is follow-up will be formed with different media respectively, because first area 1 surrounds second area 2, thus can be connected together at follow-up formed two kinds of different media.Definition regional area 3 is a part for first area 1 and second area 2, as shown in the rectangular broken line frame in Fig. 1.
It should be noted that; first area 1 and second area 2 are not defined as rectangle; namely first area 1 and second area 2 can also be circle, ellipse or other polygon etc.; other shape any can form corresponding two media and be produced on semiconductor structure together, thus also falls within protection scope of the present invention.
Please refer to Fig. 2, Fig. 2 be regional area 3(as shown in Figure 1) in existing two media be produced on semiconductor structure schematic diagram together.Mention first area 1 above and second area 2 is formed with different media respectively, can specifically find out from Fig. 2, being formed in first area 1 is first medium 4, and what be formed at second area 2 is second medium 5.Further, first medium 4 and second medium 5 are connected together formation and connect interface 6.
Please refer to Fig. 3, Fig. 3 is the cut-away view that the semiconductor structure in Fig. 2 cuts along A-A line.Upper as can be seen from Fig. 3, first medium 4 and second medium 5 are all formed at above substrate 7, and the place that first medium 4 connects with second medium 5 forms the interface 6 that connects.Substrate 7 can be the substrate of germanium, silicon or its composition, also can be the substrate being formed with multilayer interconnect structure or other structure.
Existing two media as shown in Figures 2 and 3 does semiconductor structure together, wherein first medium 4 and second medium 5 directly smoothly to connect interface 6 in conjunction with formation, in the phenomenon that peeling off between two media, breaking or rupturing very easily appears in interface 6 place that connects.
Inventor finds, occurs above-mentioned stripping, to break or the reason of phenomenon of rupture is that the physical property of two media is different, the thermal coefficient of expansion of such as two media, particle (atom or molecule) polarity, the varying in size of internal stress that can bear.The difference of these physical propertys causes the two media directly smoothly combined that concentrating of stress very easily occurs in the interface that connects that they are formed, and once stress concentrates the size having exceeded the internal stress that medium can bear, the phenomenon that the corresponding medium of the near interface that connects just there will be stripping, breaks or rupture.Such as be produced on carbon together and silica (as silica), because their physical property is different, after the formation that completes connects interface, they are different in both sides, the interface internal stress separately that connects.The interfacial stress of carbon is comparatively large, and the carbon that thus there will be the near interface that connects peels off serious situation, thus causes the MEMS assembly applying this semiconductor structure to break down in manufacturing process further.
Inventor concentrates on studies and provides a kind of semiconductor structure to solve the problem.
Inventor draws, for the problems referred to above, can take to arrange boundary belt within distance connects any side of interface certain distance or the medium of both sides and solve.The physical property of the medium at the physical property of this boundary belt and its place adapts, and similar or identical with the physical property of another medium.Like this, this boundary belt neither affects its place medium, can absorb again the internal stress of its place medium, and then effectively can prevent the concentrated of near interface interfacial stress that connect, and reaches the effect of release and elimination interfacial stress.Thus; set up the problem that peeling off, breaking or rupture easily appears in medium that this boundary belt can solve the above-mentioned near interface both sides that connect, also solve MEMS assembly based on this semiconductor structure because the medium problem that occurs stripping, break or rupture and break down simultaneously.Technique scheme of the present invention is applicable in semiconductor structure, and a level is taken up an official post the situation of stress between what two kinds of different medium longitudinal handing-over interface.
Please refer to Fig. 4, Fig. 4 is the semiconductor structure schematic diagram that the two media of first embodiment of the invention in regional area 3 is produced on together.As shown in Figure 4, still the interface 6 that connects is formed between first medium 4 with second medium 5.In the present embodiment; because the stress between first medium 4, second medium 5 does not mate, the words directly connected can cause the instability of device, even there will be the phenomenons such as above-mentioned stripping, fracture; thus, the present invention sets up boundary belt to do buffering, the absorption of stress at the near interface that connects.In the present embodiment, be set up boundary belt 51 in second medium 5.Wherein the physical property of boundary belt 51 and the physical property of second medium 5 adapt, and similar or identical with the physical property of first medium 4.Like this, due to the existence of boundary belt 51, can effectively discharge and eliminate the stress near the interface 6 that connects, prevent the phenomenon peeled off, break or rupture.Preferably; the present embodiment boundary belt 51 is made up of the material of first medium; the manufacture craft of boundary belt 51 can be made like this to become simple; do not need to increase additional technique; only need just to form this boundary belt 51 in the process making whole semiconductor structure, and in the semiconductor structure formed, boundary belt 51 discharges and eliminates the effective of internal stress simultaneously.
Please refer to Fig. 5, Fig. 5 is the cut-away view that the semiconductor structure in Fig. 4 cuts along B-B line.As shown in Figure 5, first medium 4 and second medium 5 are all formed at above substrate 7, and form the interface 6 that connects between first medium 4 with second medium 5.Meanwhile, boundary belt 51 is formed in second medium 5, and along stretching near the whole interface 6 that connects.Boundary belt 51 linearly shape in the present embodiment, is thus parallel to each other with the rectilinear interface 6 that connects.And boundary belt 51 is formed at apart from connecting the place of distance between 1 ~ 40 μm, interface 6, and this distance range is the scope of second medium 5 stress concentration, and boundary belt 51 is formed in the internal stress that can effectively discharge and eliminate second medium 5 in this segment distance.Being more preferably, is that the internal stress of the local second medium 5 of 5 ~ 20 μm is the most concentrated at the distance interface 6 that connects, thus, when being produced on by boundary belt 51 between this distance, to release with to eliminate the action effect of internal stress better.Consider the effect of absorption internal stress and the requirement of technique of boundary belt 51; the width of boundary belt 51 can at 1 ~ 20 μm, and when this width, boundary belt 51 can either play the effect discharging and eliminate stress; do not affect second medium 5 again, and technique also easily makes.Preferably, the width of boundary belt 51 is 5 ~ 20 μm.
It should be noted that, though not shown in figure, but boundary belt 51 is entirely centered around near the interface 6 that connects.If connected, interface 6 is closed shape, and so boundary belt 51 also can correspondingly connect around whole 6 to the first place, interface that connects, and forms protection ring.
Please refer to Fig. 6, Fig. 6 is the semiconductor structure schematic diagram that the two media of second embodiment of the invention in regional area 3 is produced on together.As shown in Figure 6, except being produced on first medium 4 together and second medium 5 and the interface 6 that connects that formed between them, in this semiconductor structure, in first medium 4, being also provided with boundary belt 41, in second medium 5, being also provided with boundary belt 52.Wherein preferred; the boundary belt 41 be formed in first medium 4 is made up of the material of second medium 5; the boundary belt 52 be formed in second medium 5 is made up of the material of first medium 4; technique can be made like this to make more simple; additional process can not be needed just to complete corresponding semiconductor structure, and boundary belt release and eliminate the effective of internal stress in the semiconductor structure formed.
The present embodiment is identical with principle major part with the structure of the first embodiment, and same section please refer to embodiment one.The present embodiment and the first embodiment difference are, the present embodiment arranges boundary belt simultaneously in first medium 4 and second medium 5, and set boundary belt 41 and boundary belt 52 are zigzag.In first medium 4 and second medium 5, arrange boundary belt makes the internal stress of two media inside all be discharged and eliminate simultaneously, prevents two media from occurring the phenomenon peeled off, break or rupture.And the boundary belt length that makes of zigzag boundary belt increases; in extension around when the whole interface 6 that connects; zigzag boundary belt adds very Da I Member length than the linear boundary belt in embodiment one; like this; just have the boundary belt of larger lengths for discharging and eliminate the internal stress of medium, protected effect is better.
It should be noted that; except zigzag, the shape of boundary belt can also be waveform or other is irregular linear, and these shapes make the length of boundary belt increase equally; protected effect is better, and thus the boundary belt of these shapes all belongs to the scope that the present invention protects.
