Description
技术领域
本公开涉及集成电路和用于制造集成电路的方法。
背景技术
在集成电路(IC)的批量制造期间,在半导体衬底上形成多个IC管芯。在形成IC管芯之后,IC管芯被分离并且被封装。晶圆级封装(wafer-level packaging,WLP)是其中IC管芯在分离前被封装的封装工艺。某些类型的WLP可以使用镍/金(Ni/Au)凸起(bumping)。这种类型的WLP可以包括例如倒装芯片封装或芯片级封装(chip-scale packaging,CSP)。Ni/Au凸起是其中在IC管芯的前侧形成Ni/Au凸块(bump)的工艺。Ni/Au凸起在具有高压显示驱动器的IC管芯的封装中得到应用。
发明内容

本公开的另一些实施例提供了一种用于制造集成电路的方法,该方法包括:形成覆盖导电衬垫的第一钝化层,其中导电衬垫包括衬垫材料;形成覆盖第一钝化层的第二钝化层;对第二钝化层执行第一蚀刻以形成叠加在导电衬垫上并暴露第一钝化层的第一开口;形成填充第一开口并且还覆盖第一钝化层和第二钝化层的牺牲层;对牺牲层执行第二蚀刻以形成叠加在导电衬垫上并且横向间隔在第一开口的侧壁之间的第二开口;形成作为第二开口的侧壁的衬里并且没有水平分段的阻挡层,其中阻挡层包括在第二开口的相对侧壁上的一对阻挡分段,并且其中阻挡层被配置为阻止衬垫材料扩散通过阻挡层;在第二开口内并直接在阻挡分段之间形成导电凸块,其中导电凸块包括第一凸块层和覆盖第一凸块层的第二凸块层;以及对牺牲层执行第三蚀刻以去除牺牲层。

具体实施方式
本公开提供了用于实现本公开的不同特征的许多不同的实施例或示例。下面描述了组件和布置的具体示例以简化本公开。当然,这些仅仅是示例,而不旨在是限制性的。例如,在随后的描述中,在第二特征上形成第一特征可以包括其中第一特征和第二特征以直接接触方式形成的实施例,并且还可以包括其中在第一特征和第二特征之间可以形成额外的特征以使得第一特征和第二特征可以不直接接触的实施例。此外,本公开可以在各种示例中重复参考标号和/或字母。该重复是为了简单和清楚的目的,并且其本身并不指定所讨论的各种实施例和/或配置之间的关系。
此外,为了便于描述,在本文中可以使用诸如“在…之下”、“在…下面”、“下方”、“在…上面”、“上方”等之类的空间相关术语来描述如附图所示的一个元件或特征与另外的(一个或多个)元件或特征的关系。空间相关术语旨在包括除附图中所示的方向之外、使用或操作的设备或装置的不同方向。设备或装置可以以其他方式定向(旋转90度或以其他方向),并且本文中所使用的空间相关描述符同样可以被相应地解释。此外,术语“第一”、“第二”、“第三”、“第四”等仅仅是通用标识符,并且因此可以在各种实施例中互换。例如,尽管在一些实施例中元件(例如,开口)可以被称为“第一”元件,但是在其他实施例中,元件也可以被称为“第二”元件。
根据使用镍/金(Ni/Au)凸起的一些封装工艺,形成覆盖铜衬垫的第一钝化层,并且形成覆盖第一钝化层的第二钝化层。对第二钝化层执行第一蚀刻。第一蚀刻在第一钝化层上停止并且形成叠加在铜衬垫上的第一开口。形成覆盖第一钝化层和第二钝化层并形成第一开口的衬里的蚀刻停止层。此外,形成覆盖蚀刻停止层并填充第一开口的牺牲层。对牺牲层的顶部进行平面化,并且对牺牲层、蚀刻停止层和第一钝化层执行第二蚀刻。第二蚀刻形成暴露铜衬垫并且在第一开口的侧壁之间横向隔开的第二开口。在第二开口中形成Ni/Au凸块,并且随后去除牺牲层。Ni/Au凸块包括铜衬垫上的镍层和覆盖镍层的金层。
封装工艺的挑战在于:铜衬垫的铜可以沿着镍层的侧壁和牺牲层的侧壁之间的间隙扩散到金层。例如,该间隙可能由于镍层中的低磷浓度而形成,该低磷浓度是用于形成镍层的化学镀镍的副产物。此外,扩散可能例如被在形成Ni/Au凸块和去除牺牲层之间执行的高温处理驱动。这样的高温处理可以例如包括在高于约400摄氏度的温度下执行的处理。金层的污染增加了Ni/Au凸块的接触电阻,并且/或者降低了Ni/Au凸块与苯并环丁烯(benzocyclobutene,BCB)的键合性。BCB可以例如用于将衬底(例如,晶圆)键合(bond)到包含有Ni/Au凸块的集成电路(IC)。因此,在使用封装工艺的IC的批量制造和封装期间,金层的污染可能导致低产量。
鉴于上述情况,本申请的各种实施例涉及具有阻挡层的凸块结构以及用于制造凸块结构的方法。在一些实施例中,凸块结构包括导电衬垫、导电凸块和阻挡层。导电衬垫包括衬垫材料。导电凸块叠加在导电衬垫上,并且包括下凸块层和覆盖下凸块层的上凸块层。阻挡层被配置为阻止衬垫材料沿着下凸块层的侧壁从导电衬垫移动到上凸块层。在一些实施例中,阻挡层是形成下凸块层的侧壁的衬里的间隔件。在其他实施例中,阻挡层位于阻挡层和导电衬垫之间,并且使下凸块层的侧壁与导电衬垫间隔开。
阻挡层阻止或以其他方式减缓衬垫材料沿着下凸块层的侧壁移动(例如,扩散)到上凸块层。这防止了衬垫材料污染上凸块层,使得上凸块层的接触电阻较低,并且上凸块层与BCB的键合性较高。因此,在包含有键合结构的IC的批量制造和封装期间,产量可能很高。

如图12的横截面视图1200所示,凸块120在第二开口126内被形成在上晶种层114上。凸块120可以是例如镍/金凸块。凸块120包括下凸块层116和覆盖下凸块层116的上凸块层118。在一些实施例中,下凸块层116是纯镍、镍合金、一些其他金属、一些其他导电材料、或前述的组合。此外,在一些实施例中,下凸块层116具有在约3000-8000埃、约4000-7000埃或约5000-9000埃之间的厚度Tlb。此外,在一些实施例中,下凸块层116的侧壁116s接触牺牲层902、蚀刻停止层124和/或上钝化层122,并且/或者在侧壁116s和牺牲层902之间、在侧壁116s和蚀刻停止层124之间、和/或在侧壁116和上钝化层122之间形成有间隙(不可见)。在一些实施例中,上凸块层118是金、铂、铱、钌、铑、一些其他贵金属、一些其他比下凸块层116更耐氧化和腐蚀的导电材料、或前述的组合。此外,在一些实施例中,上凸块层118具有在约300-700埃、约400-600埃、或约450-550埃之间的厚度Tub。
下凸块层116可以例如通过化学镀、电镀、一些其他镀层工艺、一些其他生长或沉积工艺、或前述的组合来形成。此外,下凸块层116可以例如使用上晶种层114来沉积(例如,通过化学镀)。上凸块层118可以例如通过浸镀、化学镀、电镀、一些其他镀层工艺,一些其他生长或沉积工艺、或前述的组合来形成。在一些实施例中,通过化学镀形成下凸块层116,并且通过浸镀镀金形成上凸块层118。此外,在一些实施例中,下凸块层116的形成消耗上晶种层114中的至少一些。例如,下凸块层116的形成可能消耗约60-70埃、约50-80埃、或约40-100埃。由于上晶种层114的这种消耗,因此在形成下凸块层116之前,上晶种层114的厚度Tus大于或等于约160埃。如果不存在至少160埃,则下凸块层116可能无法形成和/或形成为具有异常(例如,不均匀)的厚度。
如图13的横截面视图1300所示,对牺牲层902执行第四蚀刻(参见图12)以去除牺牲层902。在一些实施例中,第四蚀刻停止在蚀刻停止层124,并且/或者针对蚀刻停止层124以比牺牲层902更低的蚀刻速率使用蚀刻剂。
在形成凸块120和去除牺牲层902(参见图12)之间执行的高温处理可以促进扩散。此外,下凸块层116的形成可能导致沿着下凸块层116的侧壁116s(参见图12)的间隙(不可见),这些间隙提供了沿着侧壁116s从衬垫104到上凸块层118的扩散路径。在使用具有低磷浓度的化学镀镍形成下凸块层116时,间隙可以例如在下凸块层116和牺牲层902之间、在下凸块层116和蚀刻停止层124之间、和/或在下凸块层116和上钝化层122之间形成。阻挡层102阻止衬垫材料(例如,纯铜)沿着下凸块层116的侧壁116s从衬垫104向上扩散或移动到上凸块层118。因此,阻挡层102防止衬垫材料污染上凸块层118,从而使得上凸块层118的接触电阻较低并且上凸块层118与BCB的键合性较高。因此,在包含有键合结构的IC的批量制造和封装期间,产量可能较高。

参考图15-17、18A-18F和19A-19F,提供了用于制造图2A和图2B的凸块结构的方法的一些实施例的一系列横截面视图1500-1700、1800A-1800F、1900A-1900F。横截面视图1500-1700和1800A-1800F示出了图2A的凸块结构的制造,并且横截面视图1500-1700和1900A-1900F示出了图2B的凸块结构的制造。在下文中,除非另有说明,否则图15-17、18A-18F和19A-19F中具有与图5-13中的元件相同的参考标号的元件可以例如按图5-13中所描述的来形成。
如图15的横截面视图1500所示,提供了衬垫104和电介质层106,其中衬垫104凹入到电介质层106的顶部中。在一些实施例中,衬垫104在BEOL金属化堆叠的顶部金属化层中,并且/或者电介质层106是BEOL金属化堆叠的ILD层。参见例如图4A和图4B。
图15的横截面视图1500还示出了形成覆盖电介质层106和衬垫104的下钝化层108,并且形成覆盖下钝化层108的上钝化层122。下钝化层108和上钝化层122可以通过例如化学或物理气相沉积、溅射、一些其他生长或沉积工艺、或前述的组合来形成。在一些实施例中,上钝化层122的厚度Tup在约5000-6000埃、约5400-5600埃、或约4000-7000埃之间。此外,在一些实施例中,下钝化层108的厚度Tlp在约1000-3000埃、约2000-2100埃、或约1750-2250埃之间。
如图16的横截面视图1600所示,对上钝化层122执行第一蚀刻,以形成叠加并暴露下钝化层108的第一开口202。在一些实施例中,第一开口202被形成为具有小于或等于衬垫104的宽度的宽度Wf。此外,在一些实施例中,用于执行第一蚀刻的工艺包括:在上钝化层122上形成图案化的光致抗蚀剂层(未示出);在图案化的光致抗蚀剂层适当就位的情况下对上钝化层122施加蚀刻剂;以及剥离图案化的光致抗蚀剂层。图案化的光致抗蚀剂层可以例如使用光刻法进行图案化。
如图17的横截面视图1700所示,形成蚀刻停止层124,蚀刻停止层124覆盖上钝化层122并且进一步形成第一开口202的衬里。图17的横截面视图1700还示出了形成覆盖蚀刻停止层124的牺牲层902。在一些实施例中,用于形成牺牲层902的工艺包括:在蚀刻停止层124上沉积或生长牺牲层,并且随后对牺牲层902的顶部表面执行平面化。
如图18A的横截面视图1800A所示,对牺牲层902、蚀刻停止层124和下钝化层108执行第二蚀刻,以形成叠加并暴露衬垫104的第二开口204。在一些实施例中,第二开口204被形成在第一开口202中,并且被形成为具有小于第一开口202的宽带的宽度Ws。此外,在一些实施例中,用于执行第二蚀刻的工艺包括:在牺牲层902上形成图案化的光致抗蚀剂层(未示出);在图案化的光致抗蚀剂层适当就位的情况下对牺牲层902、蚀刻停止层124和下钝化层108施加蚀刻剂;以及剥离图案化的光致抗蚀剂层。
如图18B的横截面视图1800B所示,形成覆盖牺牲层902和衬垫104并且进一步形成第二开口204的衬里的阻挡层102。阻挡层102可以例如通过化学或物理气相沉积、溅射、一些其他生长或沉积工艺、或前述的组合来形成。在一些实施例中,阻挡层102具有在约400-700埃、约450-550埃、或约300-1000埃之间的厚度Tb。在一些实施例中,阻挡层102是氮化钛、钛钨、氮化钨、氮化钽、氧化铝、一些其他阻挡材料、或前述的组合,或者可以包括前述的材料。此外,在一些实施例中,阻挡层102是阻止衬垫104的衬垫材料扩散通过阻挡层102的材料。
如图18C的横截面视图1800C所示,对阻挡层102执行第三蚀刻以去除阻挡层102的水平分段,而不去除阻挡层102的垂直分段。阻挡层102的垂直分段形成第二开口204的侧壁的衬里并定义间隔件结构。在一些实施例中,通过将蚀刻剂施加到阻挡层102来执行第三蚀刻,该蚀刻剂针对阻挡层102具有比牺牲层902和衬垫104更高的蚀刻速率,从而使得衬垫104和牺牲层902用作蚀刻停止层。
如图18D的横截面视图1800D所示,在第二开口204内、在衬垫104上形成凸块120。凸块120包括下凸块层116和覆盖下凸块层116的上凸块层118。在一些实施例中,下凸块层116具有在约3000-9000埃、约7000-8000埃、或约8000-9000埃之间的厚度Tlb。在一些实施例中,上凸块层118具有在约300-700埃、约400-600埃、或约450-550埃之间的厚度Tub。下凸块层116可以例如通过化学镀、电镀、一些其他镀层工艺、一些其他生长或沉积工艺、或前述的组合来形成。此外,下凸块层116可以例如使用衬垫104作为晶种来沉积(例如,通过化学镀)。例如,上凸块层118可以例如通过浸镀、化学镀、电镀、一些其他镀层工艺、一些其他生长或沉积工艺、或前述的组合来形成。
如图18E的横截面视图1800E所示,阻挡层102的顶部表面凹入,以与凸块120的顶部表面相平齐或低于凸块120的顶部表面。在一些实施例中,凹入通过回蚀(etch back)来执行。在其他实施例中,凹入通过平面化来执行。例如,可以形成填充第二开口204的其余部分的附加牺牲层(未示出),并且可以对牺牲层、附加牺牲层和阻挡层102执行平面化,直到去除附加牺牲层并且到达凸块120为止。平面化可以例如通过CMP来执行。
如图18F的横截面视图1800F所示,对牺牲层902执行第四蚀刻(参见图18E)以去除牺牲层902。在一些实施例中,第四蚀刻停止在蚀刻停止层124。
在形成凸块120和去除牺牲层902之间执行的高温处理可以促进扩散。阻挡层102阻止衬垫材料(例如,纯铜)沿着下凸块层116的侧壁从衬垫104向上扩散或移动到上凸块层118。这防止了衬垫材料污染上凸块层118。
横截面视图1800A-1800F示出了图2A中的凸块结构的制造。在替代实施例中,可以执行图19A-19F的横截面视图1900A-1900F来代替图18A-18F的横截面视图1800A-1800F,以制造图2B的凸块结构。在这样的替代实施例中,图19A-19F的横截面视图1900A-1900F从图17继续。
如图19A的横截面视图1900A所示,对牺牲层902和蚀刻停止层124执行第二蚀刻,以形成叠加在衬垫104上并暴露下钝化层108的第二开口204。在一些实施例中,第二开口204被形成在第一开口202中,并且被形成为具有小于第一开口202的宽度的宽度Ws。此外,在一些实施例中,用于执行第二蚀刻的工艺包括:在牺牲层902上形成图案化的光致抗蚀剂层(未示出);在图案化的光致抗蚀剂层适当就位的情况下对牺牲层902和蚀刻停止层124施加蚀刻剂;以及剥离图案化的光致抗蚀剂层。
如图19B的横截面视图1900B所示,形成阻挡层102,阻挡层102形成第二开口204的侧壁的衬里。在一些实施例中,用于形成阻挡层102的工艺包括:形成覆盖牺牲层902和衬垫104并且进一步形成第二开口204的衬里的阻挡层102。阻挡层102可以通过例如化学或物理气相沉积、溅射、一些其他生长或沉积工艺、或前述的组合来形成。此外,在一些实施例中,该工艺包括对阻挡层102执行蚀刻以去除阻挡层102的水平分段,而不去除阻挡层102的垂直分段。图18B和图18C提供了该工艺的示例。
如图19C的横截面视图1900C所示,对下钝化层108执行第三蚀刻以将第二开口204扩展到下钝化层108中,从而暴露衬垫104。在一些实施例中,第二开口204在扩展后具有阶梯轮廓。此外,在一些实施例中,用于执行第三蚀刻的工艺包括:在阻挡层102和牺牲层902适当就位的情况下对下钝化层108施加蚀刻剂,因此阻挡层102和牺牲层902共同用作第三蚀刻的掩模。
如图19D的横截面视图1900D所示,在第二开口204内、在衬垫104上形成凸块120。凸块120包括下凸块层116和覆盖下凸块层116的上凸块层118。下凸块层116可以例如通过化学镀、电镀、一些其他镀层工艺、一些其他生长或沉积工艺、或前述的组合来形成。上凸块层118可以例如通过浸镀、化学镀、电镀、一些其他镀层工艺、一些其他生长或沉积工艺、或前述的组合来形成。
如图19E的横截面视图1900E所示,阻挡层102的顶部表面凹入,以与凸块120的顶部表面相平齐或低于凸块120的顶部表面。在一些实施例中,凹入通过回蚀来执行。在其他实施例中,凹入通过平面化来执行。例如,可以形成填充第二开口204的其余部分的附加牺牲层(未示出),并且可以对牺牲层、附加牺牲层和阻挡层102执行平面化,直到去除附加牺牲层并且到达凸块120为止。平面化可以例如通过CMP来执行。
如图19F的横截面视图1900F所示,对牺牲层902执行第四蚀刻(参见图19E)以去除牺牲层902。在一些实施例中,第四蚀刻停止在蚀刻停止层124。

虽然图20的流程图2000在本文被示出和描述为一系列步骤或制程,但是应当理解,所示出的这类动作或事件的排序不被解释为限制意义。例如,除了本文所示出和/或描述的那些顺序之外,一些步骤可以按不同的顺序发生和/或与其他步骤或制程同时发生。此外,要实现本文描述的一个或多个方面或实施例可能并不需要所有示出的步骤,并且本文所描述的一个或多个步骤可以在一个或多个单独的步骤和/或阶段中执行。
