具体实施方式
现在使用特定语言描述附图中所示出的本公开的实施例或例示。应当理解,在此并非意指限制本公开的范围。所描述的实施例的任何改变或修改,以及本文中所描述的原理的任何进一步应用,都被认为是通常发生在与本公开内容相关的所属技术领域中技术人员其中之一。在整个实施例中可以重复使用参考元件编号,但这不一定意味着一个实施例的特征适用于另一实施例,即使它们共享相同的参考元件编号。
应当理解,尽管这里可以使用术语第一,第二,第三等来描述各种元件、部件、区域、层或区段(sections),但是这些元件、部件、区域、层或区段不受这些术语的限制。相反,这些术语仅用于将一个元件、组件、区域、层或区段与另一个区域、层或区段所区分开。因此,在不脱离本发明进部性构思的教导的情况下,下列所讨论的第一元件、组件、区域、层或区段可以被称为第二元件、组件、区域、层或区段。
本文中使用的术语仅是为了实现描述特定实施例的目的,而非意欲限制本发明。如本文中所使用,单数形式“一(a)”、“一(an)”,及“该(the)”意欲亦包括复数形式,除非上下文中另作明确指示。将进一步理解,当术语“包括(cormprises)”及/或“包括(comprising)”用于本说明书中时,该些术语规定所陈述的特征、整数、步骤、操作、元件,及/或组件的存在,但不排除存在或增添一或更多个其他特征、整数、步骤、操作、元件、组件,及/或上述各者的群组。
图1为依据本公开一实施例中一种半导体元件10的剖视示意图。请参考图1,半导体元件10包括一基底100、一或多个半导体部件(semiconductor components)110、一互连层(interconnect layer)120、一重布线层(re-routing layer)130、一接合介电质(bonding dielectric)140以及一隔离层(insulating layer)151;一或多个半导体部件110位在基底100中,互连层120设置在半导体部件110上,重布线层130接触互连层120,接合介电质140位在互连层120上,而隔离层151位在互连层120与接合介电质140之间,以围绕重布线层130。
在一些实施例中,基底100为由硅所制的一半导体基底。在其他实施例中,基底100可包含其他半导体材料,例如III-V族半导体材料。半导体部件110可包括多个掺杂区、多个绝缘元件(isolation features)以及不同层,其并不会分开说明,而是组合在一起形成不同的微电子元件,例如金属氧化半导体(MOS)部件。
通过嵌置在介电材料ILD1、ILD2、ILD3中交错叠置的金属垫M1、M2、M3以及通孔V1、V2、V3的方法,重布线层130经由互连层120而电性耦接到半导体部件110。在一些实施例中,重布线层130包括一底部132以及一顶部134,底部132接触互连层120,且隔离层151围绕底部132设置,而顶部134与底部132为一体成型,且接合介电质140围绕顶部134设置。在一些实施例中,从剖视图所视,底部132具有一第一宽度W1,且顶部134具有一第二宽度W2,而第二宽度W2大于第一宽度W1。在一些实施例中,第一宽度W1在距半导体组件110的距离减小的位置处逐渐减小,而第二宽度W2为一大致一致的宽度。在一些实施例中,隔离层150接触顶部134。
在一些实施例中,由含铜材料所制的重布线层130容易扩散;因此一扩散阻障层160至少铺设在重布线层130与接合介电质140之间以及重布线层130与隔离层1151之间。扩散阻障层160亦可铺设在重布线层130与互连层120之间。在一些实施例中,扩散阻障层160的一顶表面162与重布线层130的一顶表面136等高,其是与接合介电质140的一顶表面142为共面。耐火金属(例如钛或钽)、耐火氮化金属(例如氮化钛或氮化钽)以及耐火氮化硅金属(例如氮化硅钛或氮化硅钽)是典型地使用于扩散阻障层160。
在例示的实施中,位在隔离层151上的接合介电质140具有一第一厚度T1,而隔离层151具有一第二厚度T2,第二厚度T2小于第一厚度T1。隔离层150具有一单一层或者是一堆叠层结构,并具有一氮化硅膜。在此实施例中,隔离层151具有一上层膜153以及一下层膜155,上层膜153为氮化硅,并接触接合介电质140,而下层膜155未在互连层120与上层膜153之间。在一些实施例中,上层膜153可具有一蚀刻率,是不同于下层膜154的蚀刻率,以产生重布线层130的大致无空孔(void-free)的底部132。在一些实施例中,下层膜155包含氧化物,例如氧化硅。
在一些实施例中,可调整上层膜153与下层膜155的厚度,以终止在基底100与含有硅的下层膜154的界面(interface)处的硅原子悬空键结(dangling bond)。详而言之,在氧化硅的下层膜154与硅界面的基底100的界面处的硅原子悬空键结,是与导入在氮化硅的上层膜152的氢原子接合(bonded),或是由导入在氮化硅的上层膜152的氢原子所终止(terminated)。在一些实施例中,重布线层130与接合介电质140当作是一接合层(bondinglayer),以促进与其他半导体元件10的接合。
图2为依据本公开一实施例中一种半导体元件组件20的剖视示意图。请参考半导体元件组件20包括二半导体元件,具有一第一半导体元件10A以及一第二半导体元件10B,以前面对前面(front-to-front)架构接合在一起。第一半导体元件10A与第二半导体元件10B的不同层硅可大致类似于如图1所示的半导体元件10的各层,为了简洁,则省略该些层的详细叙述。
在一些实施例中,第二半导体元件10B为上下颠倒设置,并叠置在第一半导体元件10A上,而第二半导体元件10B是混合接合(hybrid-bonded)至第一半导体元件10A,以成为第一半导体元件10A与第二半导体元件10B之间的物理性与电性连接。不同工艺可用于将第一半导体元件10A接合至第二半导体元件10B;在一些实施例中,用于将第一半导体元件10A接合至第二半导体元件10B的该些工艺,包括金属对金属接合工艺(metal-to-metalbonding process)以及介电质对介电质接合工艺(dielectric-to-dielectric bondingprocess)。
在一些实施例中,第一半导体元件10A与第二半导体元件10B是对准以使第一半导体元件10A的一第一重布线层130A接触第二半导体元件10B的一第二重布线层130B,并使第一半导体元件10A的一接合介电质140A接触第二半导体元件10B的第二接合介电质140B,其中第二重布线层130B与第一重布线层130A具有大致相同的形状。
在第一半导体元件10A与第二半导体元件10B对准之后,是施加热及/或力以将第一重布线层130A接合到第二重布线层130B,并将第一接合介电质140A固化(cure)至第二接合介电质140B;借此形成半导体元件组件20。

请参考图6,在一些实施例中,依据图3中的步骤306,形成一第一开口210以暴露互连层120。在一些实施例中,如图5所示,通过涂布在毯覆上层膜152上的一第一蚀刻遮罩220以及执行一第一蚀刻工艺,以移除毯覆上层膜152与毯覆下层膜154未被第一蚀刻遮罩220保护的部分,借此形成第一开口210;据此,金属垫M3的一或多个部分是经由第一开口210而暴露。在一些实施例中,通过执行一暴露工艺以及一显影工艺(develop process)在完全覆盖毯覆上层膜152的一第一光刻胶材料上,以形成第一蚀刻遮罩220。在一些实施例中,使用一干蚀刻工艺、一非等向性湿蚀刻工艺或其他适合非等向性工艺,蚀刻隔离层150以形成一残留隔离层151,而第一蚀刻工艺可使用多个蚀刻剂(etchants),以蚀刻毯覆上层膜152与毯覆下层膜154,其中是依据被蚀刻的材料来选择该些蚀刻剂。
请参考图6,在一些实施例中,残留的隔离膜151具有多个侧壁157,该些侧壁157是经由第一开口210而暴露,而残留的隔离层151包括未在互连层120上的一上层膜153以及位在互连层120与上层膜153之间的一下层膜153。在一些实施例中,该些侧壁157与互连层120之间的一夹角θ大于90度,以产生一无空孔(void-free)重布层,进而依序形成在第一开口210中。举例来说,然后通过一灰化工艺(ashing process)或一湿式剥离工艺(wet stripprocess),以移除第一蚀刻工艺220,其中该湿式剥离工艺可化学改变第一蚀刻遮罩220,以使其不再连接到上层膜153。
请参考图7,在已经移除第一光刻胶图案220之后,依据图3中的步骤308,一接合介电质140是沉积在隔离层151的一顶表面158上以及在第一开口210中。在一些实施例中,接合介电质140是填满第一开口210。在一些实施例中,在沉积之后,在隔离层150上的接合介电质140具有一初始厚度T3,为5.5μm。
