Description

具有凸块结构的半导体器件和制造半导体器件的方法
技术领域
本发明实施例涉及具有凸块结构的半导体器件和制造半导体器件的方法。
背景技术
随着具有更好性能的消费器件响应于消费者需求而变得越来越小,这些器件的各个组件也必须减小尺寸。构成诸如手机、计算机平板电脑等消费器件的主要组件的半导体器件已变得越来越小。随着诸如在半导体器件之间形成连接的半导体制造技术的进步,半导体器件尺寸的减小得到满足。
随着电子工业基于Si通孔(TSV)技术开发三维集成电路(3D IC),正在积极研究用于互连堆叠芯片的凸块的处理和可靠性。在减小凸块尺寸的过程中,凸块的直径减小至比倒装芯片焊点的直径小约一个数量级,并且体积小约1000倍。小得多的焊点尺寸增加了凸块焊点失效的可能性。
发明内容
根据本发明的一些实施例,提供了一种半导体器件,包括:衬底;以及至少一个凸块结构,设置在所述衬底上方,其中,所述至少一个凸块结构包括:柱,设置在所述衬底上方,由金属形成,与铜或铜合金至焊料合金的可焊性相比,所述金属具有至焊料合金的更低的可焊性;以及焊料合金,形成在比铜或铜合金具有更低的可焊性的所述金属的上表面正上方并且与所述金属的上表面接触;其中,所述柱具有大于10μm的高度。
根据本发明的另一些实施例,还提供了一种半导体器件,包括:第一衬底,包括第一电路;以及第二衬底;其中,所述第一衬底通过包括设置在第一柱和第二柱之间的焊料层的连接件连接至所述第二衬底,以及所述第一柱由镍基材料形成并且具有大于10μm的高度。
根据本发明的又一些实施例,还提供了一种制造半导体器件的方法,包括:在衬底上方形成光刻胶层;图案化所述光刻胶层以形成暴露所述衬底的多个开口;在所述多个开口中沉积比铜或铜合金材料具有更低的可焊性的金属;在所述多个开口中的所述金属上方形成焊料层,所述金属比所述铜或铜合金材料具有更低的可焊性;以及去除所述光刻胶层,其中,所述焊料层与比所述铜或铜合金材料具有更低的可焊性的金属直接接触。

具体实施方式
以下公开内容提供了许多用于实现本发明的不同特征的不同实施例或实例。下面描述了组件和布置的具体实例以简化本发明。当然,这些仅仅是实例,而不旨在限制本发明。例如,元件的尺寸不限于公开的范围或值,但是可能依赖于工艺条件和/或期望的器件性能。此外,以下描述中,在第二部件上方或者上形成第一部件可以包括第一部件和第二部件直接接触形成的实施例,并且也可以包括在第一部件和第二部件之间可以形成额外的部件,从而使得第一部件和第二部件可以不直接接触的实施例。为了简单和清楚的目的,各个部件可任意地以不同比例绘制。
而且,为便于描述,在此可以使用诸如“在…之下”、“在…下方”、“下部”、“在…之上”、“上部”等空间相对术语,以描述如图所示的一个元件或部件与另一个(或另一些)原件或部件的关系。除了图中所示的方位外,空间相对术语旨在包括器件在使用或操作中的不同方位。装置可以以其它方式定向(旋转90度或在其它方位上),而本文使用的空间相对描述符可以同样地作出相应的解释。此外,术语“由…制成”可能意味着“包括”或“由…组成”。
图1是根据本发明的实施例的凸块结构的示意图。半导体器件10具有衬底15和设置在衬底15上的至少一个凸块结构55。接合焊盘20设置在衬底15上。接合焊盘20电连接至衬底15的电路。凸块结构55经由接合焊盘20连接至衬底15的电路。至少一个凸块结构55包括主要由金属形成的柱25,与铜或铜合金至焊料合金的可焊性相比,该金属具有至焊料合金的更小的可焊性(润湿性)。换句话说,与铜或铜合金相比,具有更小的可焊性(或润湿性)的金属不太可能在金属和焊料合金的界面处与焊料合金的组分形成金属间化合物(或合金)。因为柱比铜或铜合金具有更低的可焊性,所以抑制了焊料沿着柱的侧向下流动。在一些实施例中,柱25由镍基材料形成。在一些实施例中,镍基材料包括镍和含有50mol%或更多镍的镍合金。在一些实施例中,凸块结构55仅包括一个镍基层25。在一些实施例中,半导体器件10包括设置在柱25和衬底15之间的接合焊盘20上的凸块下金属40。
在一些实施例中,凸块结构55包括设置在柱25和凸块下金属40之间的Cu或Cu合金层30。在一些实施例中,选择具有更低的可焊性(或润湿性)的金属,以非常慢的形成金属间化合物,从而防止焊料移动越过柱25的高度并且接触下面的Cu或Cu合金层30。在一些实施例中,绝缘层60形成在衬底15上方并且围绕凸块下金属40。
在一些实施例中,接合焊盘20由包括铝、铜、银、金、镍、钨、钛、它们的合金和/或它们的多层的合适的导电金属形成。
在一些实施例中,凸块结构55包括设置在柱25上的焊料层35。在一些实施例中,焊料层35由诸如AgSn、SnAgCu、PbSn和CuSn的含锡合金形成。在一些实施例中。焊料层35与柱25的上表面直接物理接触。在一些实施例中,焊料层35不与Cu或Cu合金层30直接物理接触。
在一些实施例中,柱25具有大于10μm并且介于10μm至约30μm的范围内的高度D1。在柱高度D1大于10μm时,柱25具有足够的高度,从而抑制焊料沿着凸块向下流动并且抑制了在焊料接合件中形成空隙或与其它半导体器件部件的接触并且引起短路。柱高度D1大于典型的覆盖层高度。在常规凸块结构中,覆盖层用作阻挡层,以防止Cu或Cu合金层中的Cu扩散至焊料层中。在柱高度大于约30μm时,由于集成电路组件之间的间隔增加,集成电路中器件密度减小。在一些实施例中,柱25的直径在从约5μm至约40μm的范围内。在一些实施例中,柱25的直径在从约20μm至约25μm的范围内。在实施例中,半导体器件10包括Cu或Cu合金层30,其在柱25和凸块下金属40的上表面之间具有约5μm至约10μm的高度D2。在一些实施例中,柱25的高度D1大于Cu或Cu合金层30的高度D2。在一些实施例中,柱25的高度D1与Cu或Cu合金层30的高度D2的比率(D1/D2)在从约1.5/1至约6/1的范围内。在一些实施例中,柱25的高度D1与Cu或Cu合金层30的高度D2的比率(D1/D2)在从约3/1至5/1约的范围内。在一些实施例中,柱25的高度D1与Cu或Cu合金层30的高度D2的比率(D1/D2)在从约2/1至4/1约的范围内。
在一些实施例中,在给定高度处,凸块结构55的侧壁的材料组分与凸块结构55的内部的材料组分基本相同。换句话说,在一些实施例中,在凸块结构55的侧壁上没有有意形成的层。例如,在一些实施例中,在柱25的侧壁上没有有意形成的钝化层,诸如氮化物层。

如图8所示,在一些实施例中,随后在第二金属层25上方的开口中形成焊料层35。在一些实施例中,焊料层35包括共晶焊料,诸如选自AgSn、SnAgCu、PbSn和CuSn组成的组的合金。可以使用其它合适的焊料,只要相对于铜或铜合金至焊料的可焊性,该柱具有至焊料的更低的可焊性(润湿性)。在一些实施例中,焊料层35的厚度为约2μm至约10μm。在一些实施例中,从光刻胶层65之上去除过量的焊料。
如图9所示,随后去除光刻胶层65,以暴露焊料层35、柱25和第一金属层30的侧壁。在一些实施例中,使用合适的光刻胶剥离剂去除光刻胶层65。然后,诸如通过合适的蚀刻操作去除凸块下金属40的暴露部分。
在一些实施例中,如图10A所示,在光刻胶层65的去除之后,回流焊料层35以形成平滑的半球形状,以提供具有多个凸块结构55的半导体器件10。图10A是沿着图10B的平面图的线B-B的截面图。通过将焊料加热至其软化和流动的温度来回流焊料层35。

随后在操作S240中,将第一衬底和第二衬底布置为使得第一衬底上的凸块结构和第二衬底上的凸块结构彼此相对并且彼此对准。接下来,在操作S250中,使第一衬底上的凸块结构和第二衬底上的凸块结构彼此接触。然后,在操作S260中,对凸块施加能量,使得凸块结构上的焊料层流动,并且使第一衬底上的凸块结构和第二衬底上的凸块结构熔合在一起。
图12至图15示出了根据本发明的实施例的将两个衬底15、15’上的凸块结构55、55’熔合在一起的方法。如图12所示,第一半导体器件10和第二半导体器件10’包括根据图2A至图10B中描述的操作形成的多个凸块结构55。第二半导体器件10’定向为使得第一半导体器件10中的凸块结构55的焊料层35面向第二半导体器件10’中的凸块结构55’的焊料层35’并且与第二半导体器件10’中的凸块结构55’的焊料层35’对准。在一些实施例中,第二半导体器件10’是其中形成有电路155’的封装衬底、中介层或衬底。

在一些实施例中,钛基层40a和铜基层40b覆盖接合焊盘20和衬底15的上表面,并且然后使用合适的光刻和蚀刻操作来图案化钛基层40a和铜基层40b,以在接合焊盘20上方形成多个凸块下金属40。然后围绕凸块下金属40形成绝缘层60。在一些实施例中,凸块下金属40以行-列布置而布置为具有约15μm至约60μm的间距。
在一些实施例中,形成与铜或铜合金至焊料合金的可焊性相比具有至焊料合金的更低的可焊性的金属层25包括:在衬底15和多个凸块下金属上方形成光刻胶层,光刻图案化光刻胶层以形成暴露多个凸块下金属的多个开口,在多个开口中沉积金属,在多个开口中的金属上方沉积焊料层,以及去除光刻胶层,与图5至图10B中公开的操作类似。
应该理解,图18所示的器件经历进一步半导体工艺以形成诸如外部接触件、介电层、集成至模块等的各个部件。
图19是示出根据本发明的另一实施例的制造半导体器件10c的另一方法500的流程图。如图20所示,半导体器件10c包括衬底15和设置在衬底15上的至少一个凸块结构55c。在操作S510中,在凸块下金属40上方形成铜或铜合金层30。在一些实施例中,铜或铜合金层形成为从凸块下金属40的上表面测量的约5μm至约10μm的高度D6。在操作S520中,在铜或铜合金层上方形成金属层以形成柱25,与铜或铜合金至焊料合金的可焊性相比,金属层具有至焊料合金的更低的可焊性,并且具有大于10μm的高度D7。在一些实施例中,柱25具有高达30μm的高度。在一些实施例中,柱25是通过本文先前公开的合适的金属沉积操作形成的镍基材料。接下来,在操作S530中,在柱25上方形成饰面层150。在操作S540中,在形成饰面层150之后,在饰面层150上方形成焊料层35,从而形成凸块结构55c。
在一些实施例中,饰面层150是金属层。饰面层150可以由镍形成,但是可以添加其它金属。在一些实施例中,饰面层150由化学镀镍化学镀钯浸金(ENEPIG)形成,饰面层150包括镍层、位于镍层上的钯层和位于钯层上的金层。金层可以使用浸镀形成。在其它实施例中,饰面层150由其它已知的饰面材料和方法形成,其它已知的饰面材料和方法包括但不限于化学镀镍浸金(ENIG)、直接浸金(DIG)等。在一些实施例中,饰面层基本不含铜。如本文使用的,基本不含铜意味着如果在饰面层中存在任何铜,则其仅以杂质水平存在。形成饰面层150的方法包括化学镀、浸渍等。饰面层150与下面的柱25形成大的界面区,从而改进柱25和焊料层35之间的接合。在一些实施例中,饰面层150的厚度在从约5nm至约100nm的范围内。
应该理解,图20所示的器件经历进一步半导体工艺以形成诸如外部接触件、介电层、集成至模块等的各个部件。
在接合工艺期间,焊料可以沿着柱(诸如铜柱)快速向下流动,同时在铜柱和焊料中的锡之间形成金属间化合物/合金。沿着柱快速向下流动可能在焊料接合件中产生空隙。对柱使用比铜或铜合金具有更低的可焊性(或润湿性)的金属减慢了金属间化合物的形成和焊料从柱的向下流动,从而抑制焊料接合件中空隙的形成。因为抑制了焊料沿着凸块结构的侧向下流动,所述焊料在焊接操作期间保留在焊点区中,从而防止在焊点中形成空隙。此外,由于比铜或铜合金具有更低的可焊性(或润湿性)的金属抑制了由于焊料沿着凸块结构的侧向下流动引起的焊料溢出和短路的形成问题。根据本发明的器件和方法改进了半导体器件的可靠性,特别是随着凸块结构的尺寸和间距减小。
