Technical field
The invention belongs to microelectronics technology, and in particular to a kind of cleaning side of the big depth-to-width ratio TSV blind holes of crystal column surface
Method.
Background technology
After completing TSV blind holes etching using Bosch etching technics, organic polymer impurity can be produced at the madial wall of hole, is
The insulating barrier that high reliability is formed in hole removes, it is necessary to which impurity is cleaned, such as " the The Cleaning Method of document 1
Described in Which is able to keep the smmoothness of Si (100) (ISTC2008) ", high reliability
Insulating barrier needs have high-cleanness, high between the interface of substrate and insulating barrier.Current common wafer cleaning technology, is not particularly suited for
TSV blind holes are cleaned.Such as " the Particle Removal from Silicon Wafer Surface in Wet of document 2
Institute in Cleaning process (IEEE Transactions on Semiconductor Manufacturing 1993) "
State, in this method, wafer is placed in rinse bath, using cleaning fluid heated wash, can effectively remove the impurity of crystal column surface.
And cleaned for TSV blind holes, because air is difficult to discharge in hole, cause cleaning fluid to be difficult to infiltrate, therefore the institute of document 2
The conventional crystal column surface cleaning method stated can not be applied.Generally use vacuumizes the technique side being combined with ultrasonic vibration at present
Method.As described in document 3 " Wet Silicon Etch Process for TSV Reveal (ECTC 2014) ".In the method
In, the wafer for etching completion is put into closed process cavity with monolithic form first, after cavity is vacuumized, using spray side
Deionized water is sprayed at crystal column surface by formula so that deionized water is injected in hole.The wafer for completing deionized water injection is infiltrated
Enter in cleaning fluid, and apply ultrasonic vibration in rinse bath so that the displacement in hole between deionized water and cleaning fluid, realize
Effective displacement of the cleaning fluid to TSV blind holes, finally the wafer for completing cleaning is dried.The method needs to use TSV blind holes special
Cleaning equipment, it is only capable of using monolithic cleaning way during wafer cleaning, and needs to complete process cavity to vacuumize, water filling, get rid of
Dry, process cavity recharges gas to the process of atmospheric pressure, and technique is complex time-consuming, and production efficiency is relatively low, it is difficult to applies to advise greatly
In mould production line.
Further for the purpose-built washing equipment and special cleaning used in common TSV cleanings, it can not be with mesh
The process compatible of preceding IC production lines, it is only capable of completing the cleaning of TSV blind holes, therefore utility ratio is relatively low, and need in the clear of toilet
Washing region sets the special pipeline vacuumized and cleaning fluid supply pipe line, production cost higher.
