Embodiment
As shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4, in embodiment of the present invention semiconductor device, the process for making of double shielding layer comprises the steps:
Step one, as shown in Figure 4 A, provides the silicon chip 1 that has made top-level metallic figure 2; Described metallic pattern 2 is used for when subsequent device encapsulates being connected with metal lead wire, and described silicon chip 1 has comprised the various semiconductor device be made through traditional semiconductor technology.
Step 2, as shown in Figure 4 B, described silicon chip 1 carries out spin coating, the baking of photosensitive polyimide 3; Described photosensitive polyimide 3, refer to its G-line to wavelength 436 nanometer, the I-line of wavelength 365 nanometer, any one light in the KrF of wavelength 248 nanometer and the ArF of wavelength 193 nanometer has light sensitivity, and described photosensitive polyimide 3 can be dissolved in conventional tetramethyl oxyammonia (TMAH) developer solution after the light exposure of above-mentioned wavelength, the baking temperature of described photosensitive polyimide 3 is 80 DEG C-140 DEG C, and baking time is 0.5 minute-10 minutes.Described photosensitive polyimide spin coating, to toast later thickness be 1 micron-20 microns.
Step 3, as shown in Figure 4 C, described photosensitive polyimide 3 carries out spin coating, the baking of non-photosensitive polyimides 4, described non-photosensitive polyimides 4, refer to its G-line to wavelength 436 nanometer, the I-line of wavelength 365 nanometer, any one light in the KrF of wavelength 248 nanometer and the ArF of wavelength 193 nanometer does not have light sensitivity, owing to not having light sensitivity to the light of above-mentioned wavelength, so described non-photosensitive polyimides 4 before exposure after chemical property do not change, conventional tetramethyl oxyammonia (TMAH) developer solution can both be dissolved in, the baking temperature of described non-photosensitive polyimides 4 is 80 DEG C-140 DEG C, baking time is 0.5 minute-10 minutes, in order to ensure the penetration capacity of exposure light source, the spin coating of described non-photosensitive polyimides 4, toast later thickness and had better not be greater than 10 microns, preferred thickness is 1 micron-10 microns.
Step 4, as shown in Figure 4 D, described non-photosensitive polyimides 4 carries out spin coating, the baking of photoresist 5; The G-line of the type of described photoresist 5 to be its exposure wavelengths be 436 nanometers, any one in the I-line of 365 nanometers, the KrF of 248 nanometers and the ArF of 193 nanometers.Described photoresist 5 spin coating, to toast later thickness be 1 micron-20 microns.
Step 5, as shown in Figure 4 E, the mask plate (for illustrating in figure) with protective layer figure is used to expose the silicon chip 1 completing above-mentioned steps two to step 4, the photoresist 5 of the superiors is made photochemical reaction to occur and form latent image in exposure area 6, exposure light can penetrate non-photosensitive polyimides 4 and arrive on photosensitive polyimide 3 simultaneously, thus make photosensitive polyimide 3 also photochemical reaction occur and form latent image in exposure area 7, so after completing above-mentioned exposure process, the photoresist of photoresist exposure area 6 and the photosensitive polyimide of photosensitive polyimide exposure area 7 all become and dissolve in developer solution.
Step 6, as illustrated in figure 4f, the silicon chip 1 completing above-mentioned steps two to step 5 is developed, developing time was 10 seconds in second-500, with the photosensitive polyimide of the photoresist and photosensitive polyimide exposure area 7 of removing photoresist exposure area 6, form photoresist opening 8 and photosensitive polyimide opening 10, and the line of top-level metallic figure 2 is exposed, and for non-photosensitive polyimides 4, because developer solution is to isotropic development capability of non-photosensitive polyimides 4, namely developer solution is to while the longitudinal direction development of non-photosensitive polyimides 4, also laterally can develop to it, and development capability is the same, so the non-photosensitive polyimides opening 9 of the inverted trapezoidal shown in Fig. 4 F can be formed after development, and opening size can be greater than the size of photosensitive polyimide opening 10, by controlling developing time, larger than the single side size of described photosensitive polyimide opening 10 1 micron-20 microns of the single side size of described non-photosensitive polyimides opening 9 can be made, monolateral boost value is as shown in the mark a in Fig. 4 F.
Step 7, as shown in Figure 4 G, stripper is peeled off and is removed photoresist 5 with photoresist; Described photoresist lift off liquid can be peeled off and remove photoresist 5, but can not peel off removal non-photosensitive polyimides and unexposed photosensitive polyimide.Preferably, described photoresist lift off liquid is 1-Methoxy-2-propyl acetate (PGMEA) or propylene glycol monomethyl ether (PGME) or its combination.
Step 8, as shown in Figure 4 G, solidify non-photosensitive polyimides 3 and photosensitive polyimide 4, its curing temperature is 200 DEG C-500 DEG C, and curing time is 30 minutes-120 minutes simultaneously.
From above-mentioned steps, the embodiment of the present invention is first formed from top to bottom successively by photoresist, the trilamellar membrane structure of non-photosensitive polyimides and photosensitive polyimide composition, utilize non-photosensitive polyimides to the penetrability of exposure light, after a UV-irradiation, make photoresist and photosensitive polyimide expose formation latent image simultaneously, due to developer solution to non-photosensitive polyimides have isotropic development characteristic, so non-photosensitive polyimides opening size can be greater than photosensitive polyimide opening size after development, and the double-deck polyimide covercoat needed for final formation.Contrast existing process method flow chart 2 and embodiment of the present invention process method flow chart 3 known, a photoetching is only employed in embodiment of the present invention process flow process, and employ double exposure in existing process flow process and once etch, therefore the process that present invention saves a photoetching and once etch, also save one piece of mask plate simultaneously, effectively simplify technological process, save production cost.
Above by specific embodiment to invention has been detailed description, but these are not construed as limiting the invention.Without departing from the principles of the present invention, those skilled in the art also can make many distortion and improvement, and these also should be considered as protection scope of the present invention.
