在半导体衬底32上方形成层间电介质(ILD)36,并且层间电介质(ILD)36填充集成电路器件34中晶体管(未示出)的栅极堆叠件之间的间隔。根据一些示例性实施例,ILD 36由氧化硅、磷硅酸盐玻璃(PSG)、硼硅酸盐玻璃(BSG)、硼掺杂的磷硅酸盐玻璃(BPSG)、氟掺杂的硅酸盐玻璃(FSG)等形成或者ILD 36包括氧化硅、磷硅酸盐玻璃(PSG)、硼硅酸盐玻璃(BSG)、硼掺杂的磷硅酸盐玻璃(BPSG)、氟掺杂的硅酸盐玻璃(FSG)等。可以使用旋涂、可流动化学气相沉积(FCVD)、化学气相沉积(CVD)等来形成ILD 36。根据本发明的一些实施例,使用诸如PECVD、LPCVD等的沉积方法来形成ILD 36。
在ILD 36中形成接触插塞38,并且将接触插塞38用于将集成电路器件34电连接至上面的金属线和通孔。根据本发明的一些实施例,接触插塞38由选自钨、铝、铜、钛、钽、氮化钛、氮化钽、它们的合金、和/或它们的多层的导电材料形成。接触插塞38的形成可以包括在ILD 36中形成接触开口,将一种(多种)导电材料填充至接触开口中,以及执行平坦化工艺(例如化学机械抛光(CMP)工艺)以使ILD 36的顶表面与接触插塞38的顶表面齐平。
在ILD 36和接触插塞38上方存在有互连结构40。互连结构40包括形成在介电层46中的金属线42和通孔44。在下文中,介电层46可以包括金属间介电(IMD)层46。根据本发明的一些实施例,一些介电层46由具有低于约3.0的介电常数值(k值)的低k介电材料形成。介电层46可以由Black Diamond(应用材料公司的注册商标)、含碳低k介电材料、氢倍半硅氧烷(HSQ)、甲基倍半硅氧烷(MSQ)等形成。根据本发明的一些实施例,介电层46的形成包括沉积含致孔剂的介电材料,以及然后执行固化工艺以驱除致孔剂,并且由此剩余的介电层46是多孔的。根据本发明的可选的实施例,一些或全部介电层46由诸如氧化硅、碳化硅(SiC)、碳-氮化硅(SiCN)、氧-碳-氮化硅(SiOCN)等的非低k介电材料形成。在介电层46之间形成可以由碳化硅、氮化硅、氮氧化硅、铝、氧化物、氮化铝等或它们的多层形成的蚀刻停止层(未示出),并且为简单起见未示出蚀刻停止层。

之间的范围内的厚度。
参考图2,将器件晶圆30翻转倒置,并且用接合层54接合至接合层24将器件晶圆30接合至载体晶圆20。可以通过熔融接合来执行该接合。将相应的工艺示出为如图15所示的工艺流程200中的工艺206。根据一些实施例,器件晶圆30与载体晶圆20的接合包括在包含氧(O2)和/或氮(N2)的工艺气体中预处理接合层24和54,执行预接合工艺以将接合层24和54结合在一起,以及在预粘合工艺之后执行退火工艺。根据一些实施例,在预接合工艺期间,随着施加压力以将器件晶圆30压靠载体晶圆20,使器件晶圆30与载体晶圆20接触。
在预接合工艺之后,执行退火工艺。可以形成Si-O-Si键以将接合层24和54结合在一起,从而使得接合层24和54以高接合强度彼此接合。根据一些实施例,在约250℃至约400℃之间的温度下执行退火工艺。退火持续时间可以在约30分钟至约60分钟之间的范围内。根据一些实施例,如图2所示,器件晶圆30位于载体晶圆20上方并且接合至下面的载体晶圆20。根据可选的实施例,将器件晶圆30位于载体晶圆20下面并且接合至上面的载体晶圆20,并且在接合之后,将接合结构翻转,以及生成的结构如图2所示。

然后执行边缘修整工艺以去除聚合物层58和器件晶圆30的边缘部分。还可以去除载体晶圆20的一些边缘部分。将相应的工艺示出为如图15所示的工艺流程200中的工艺212。生成的结构在图5中示出,其中,晶圆30的侧壁从晶圆20的对应边缘横向凹进。根据一些实施例,修整宽度W1可以在约2mm至约4mm之间的范围内。此外,在修整工艺中,可以修整衬底22的顶部部分以形成延伸至衬底22中的凹槽60。凹槽60的深度D1可以在约50μm至约200μm之间的范围内。凹槽60形成环绕衬底22顶部部分的凹槽环。
在随后的工艺中,可以进一步减薄衬底32。根据可选的实施例,跳过衬底32的进一步减薄。根据一些实施例,在干蚀刻工艺中减薄衬底32,该干蚀刻工艺可以是各向异性蚀刻工艺或各向同性蚀刻工艺。根据可选的实施例,可以通过干蚀刻工艺以及随后的湿蚀刻工艺来执行蚀刻。例如,可以使用包括氟(F2)、氯(Cl2)、氯化氢(HCl)、溴化氢(HBr)、溴(Br2)、C2F6、CF4、SO2、HBr和Cl2、O2的混合物、HBr和Cl2、O2、CH2F2的混合物等的蚀刻气体来执行干蚀刻工艺。如果有的话,可以使用KOH、四甲基氢氧化铵(TMAH)、CH3COOH、NH4OH、H2O2、异丙醇(IPA)、HF和HNO3、H2O的溶液等来执行湿蚀刻工艺。
根据可选的实施例,可以通过CMP工艺或机械研磨工艺来执行衬底32的减薄。在先前已经形成贯通孔65(图8)以延伸到半导体衬底32中的实施例中,将通过减薄工艺暴露贯通孔65。
图6示出了也是隔离层的保护层62的形成。将相应的工艺示出为如图15所示的工艺流程200中的工艺214。根据一些实施例,保护层62包括下部子层62A,并且可以或可以不包括上部子层62B。与器件晶圆30和载体晶圆20物理接触的下部子层62A形成为无氧层,其可以是无氧介电层。用于形成下部子层62A的前体也没有氧和水。根据一些实施例,下部子层62A由SiN、SiC、SiCN等形成或者下部子层62A包括SiN、SiC、SiCN等。
下部子层62A的形成可以包括共形沉积工艺,例如CVD、ALD等。因此,下部子层62A形成为共形层,例如,下部子层62A的不同部分具有小于约20%的变化。下部子层62A的厚度T1可以足够大,从而使得它可以充当阻挡层以在上部子层62B的形成期间防止氧和湿气穿透它。根据一些实施例,下部子层62A的厚度T1可以大于约

并且可以在约
Figure BDA0003653848970000092
至约
Figure BDA0003653848970000093
之间的范围内。下部子层62A具有对晶圆20和30的良好粘附性。
根据一些实施例,在下部子层62A上沉积上部子层62B。上部子层62B形成为含氧层,其可以是含氧介电层。根据一些实施例,上部子层62B由SiO2、SiOC、SiON、SiOCN等形成或者上部子层62B包括SiO2、SiOC、SiON、SiOCN。用于形成上部子层62B的前体可以包括诸如硅烷、二硅烷等的含硅前体,以及诸如O2、臭氧等的含氧前体。形成工艺可以包括诸如CVD、ALD等的共形沉积工艺。因此,上部子层62B形成为共形层,例如,上部子层62B的不同部分具有小于约20%的变化。上部子层62B的厚度T2可以足够大,从而使得它可以充当阻挡层以防止外部环境中的氧和湿气穿透它。根据一些实施例,上部子层62B可以具有大于约
Figure BDA0003653848970000094
的厚度T2,并且厚度T2可以在约

之间的范围内。
在上部子层62B为诸如氧化硅层的含氧层时,上部子层62B具有良好的用于阻止空气中的氧和湿气到达互连结构40的阻氧能力。另一方面,用于形成上部子层62B的前体可以包括氧,并且由此上部子层62B的形成可能导致介电层46的劣化并且可能氧化器件晶圆30中的金属部件。由此形成下部子层62A以防止在上部子层62B的形成中的含氧前体到达器件晶圆30。因此,由于双层保护层62的形成,器件晶圆30在隔离层62的形成期间和之后都与氧和湿气隔离。
根据一些实施例,下部子层62A和上部子层62B中的每个都具有均匀的组成,这意味着当沉积时,下部子层62A和上部子层62B中的每个中的元素的原子百分比是均匀的。因此,下部子层62A和上部子层62B中的每个中的对应前体的流速是均匀的。根据可选的实施例,在上部子层62B和下部子层62A之间,形成第三(中间)子层。第三子层具有从下部子层62A的组成逐渐过渡到上部子层62B的组成的逐渐改变的组成。例如,当下部子层62A是氮化硅层并且上部子层62B是氧化硅层时,在进行第三子层的沉积期间,在第三子层的沉积中,逐渐降低用于沉积下部子层62A的含氮前驱体的流速,并且逐渐增加用于沉积上部子层62B的含氧前体的流速,直到在某个时刻处,关闭含氮前体。从这个时刻开始,开始沉积上部子层62B。
根据一些实施例,下部子层62A具有比上部子层62B更低的氧原子百分比和更高的氮或碳原子百分比。上部子层62B具有比下部子层62A更好的隔离能力。根据一些实施例,下部子层62A和上部子层62B中的每个可以包括SiOC或SiON,只是下部子层62A中的氧原子百分比低于上部子层62B中的氧原子百分比。
图7示出了保护层62的水平部分的去除,从而使器件晶圆30的顶表面暴露。将相应的工艺示出为如图15所示的工艺流程200中的工艺216。根据一些实施例,执行CMP工艺以去除与器件晶圆30重叠的保护层62的第一部分。可以执行蚀刻工艺以去除与载体晶圆20中的衬底22重叠并接触的保护层62的第二部分。根据可选的实施例,不去除保护层62的第二部分,并且将保护层62的第二部分留在器件晶圆20上。示出虚线区域63以显示保护层62的第二部分可以存在或者可以不存在于这个区域中。根据可选的实施例,通过一个或多个各向异性蚀刻工艺来执行保护层62的水平部分的去除。根据这些实施例,去除与器件晶圆30重叠的保护层62的水平部分和与载体晶圆20重叠的保护层62的水平部分两者。
剩余的保护层62形成环绕并接触器件晶圆30的完整环。保护层62具有防止器件晶圆30中的层剥离的功能。同样,保护层62防止湿气和氧从它们的侧壁穿透到器件晶圆30中。
参考图8,例如在共形沉积工艺中形成介电层64,该共形沉积工艺可以是ALD工艺、CVD工艺等。将相应的工艺示出为如图15所示的工艺流程200中的工艺218。根据一些实施例,介电层64由氧化硅、氮化硅、氧化硅、氮氧化硅等形成或者介电层64包括氧化硅、氮化硅、氧化硅、氮氧化硅等。可以形成贯通孔65以穿透衬底32,并且将贯通孔65电连接至集成电路器件34。形成工艺可以包括蚀刻介电层64和衬底32以形成贯通开口。该蚀刻可以停止在互连结构40中的金属焊盘上。接下来,形成隔离层以环绕每个贯通开口。形成工艺可以包括沉积延伸到贯通开口中的共形介电层,以及然后执行各向异性蚀刻工艺以再暴露金属焊盘。然后沉积一种(多种)导电材料以填充贯通开口,随后进行平坦化工艺以去除贯通开口外部的多余导电材料。该一种(多种)导电材料的剩余部分是贯通孔65。将相应的工艺示出为如图15所示的工艺流程200中的工艺220。
根据可选的实施例,先前已经形成贯通孔65(例如,在图1中所示的工艺中)。因此,在图8所示的工艺中,可以对衬底32执行背侧研磨工艺和回蚀刻工艺,从而使得贯通孔65的顶部部分突出高于衬底32的凹进的顶表面。然后沉积介电层64,随后进行光CMP工艺以再暴露贯通孔65。
如图8所示,介电层64在保护层62的外侧壁上延伸。介电层64还可以在衬底22的顶表面上延伸并接触衬底22的顶表面。相反,当没有去除保护层62的这些部分时,介电层64在虚线区域63(图7)中的保护层62的水平部分的顶表面上延伸并接触虚线区域63(图7)中的保护层62的水平部分的顶表面。
参考图9,形成包括一层或多层介电层72和一层或多层再分布线(RDL)70的背侧互连结构68。将相应的工艺示出为如图15所示的工艺流程200中的工艺222。根据一些实施例,通过镶嵌工艺形成RDL 70,该镶嵌工艺包括沉积对应的介电层72,在介电层72中形成沟槽和通孔开口,以及用一种(多种)金属材料填充沟槽和通孔开口以形成RDL 70。介电层72可以由诸如氧化硅、氮化硅、氮氧化硅等的无机介电材料形成或者介电层72包括诸如氧化硅、氮化硅、氮氧化硅等的无机介电材料。
根据可选的实施例,介电层72可以由可以是光敏的聚合物形成,并且RDL层的形成工艺可以包括沉积金属晶种层、在金属晶种层上方形成镀掩模并图案化该镀掩模,执行镀工艺以形成RDL,去除镀掩模以暴露金属晶种层的下面部分,以及蚀刻金属晶种层的暴露部分。
根据一些实施例,在器件晶圆30的背面上形成电连接件76。电连接件76可以包括金属凸块、金属焊盘、焊料区域等。根据一些实施例,电连接件76突出高于表面介电层72的顶表面。根据可选的实施例,电连接件76的顶表面与表面介电层72共面。
根据一些实施例,去除载体晶圆20。将相应的工艺示出为如图15所示的工艺流程200中的工艺224。根据一些实施例,将图9所示结构的顶侧粘附至带,并且将该结构翻转倒置。然后去除衬底22,这可以通过CMP工艺、机械研磨工艺、蚀刻工艺或它们的组合。可以去除接合层24,或者可以不去除接合层24。当去除接合层24时,将暴露接合层54。图10示出了生成的结构。
同样如图10所示,在器件晶圆30的前侧上形成电连接件78。将相应的工艺示出为如图15所示的工艺流程200中的工艺226。形成工艺可以包括蚀刻接合层54以形成开口,从而使金属焊盘50暴露,以及形成延伸到开口中以电连接至金属焊盘50的电连接件78。
根据一些实施例,器件晶圆30可以在管芯锯切工艺中被分割(singulated)以形成分立器件管芯30’。通过管芯锯切工艺去除保护层62,并且保护层62不存在于生成的器件管芯30’中。根据可选的实施例,将另一器件晶圆接合至晶圆30以形成重建晶圆,该重建晶圆被切割以将器件管芯30’彼此分隔开,将每个器件管芯30’与另一个器件晶圆中的一个或多个其它器件管芯接合。
图11示出了包括与器件管芯82接合的器件管芯30’的封装件80。将相应的工艺示出为如图15所示的工艺流程200中的工艺228。可以分配密封剂84以密封器件管芯82。密封剂84可以是模塑料、模塑底部填充物等。将封装组件88接合至器件管芯30’。封装组件88可以是印刷电路板、封装衬底等。底部填充物86可以设置在器件管芯30’和封装组件88之间。
根据可选的实施例,器件管芯82不是在去除衬底22(图9)之后接合至器件管芯30’,而是在去除衬底22之前接合至未锯切的器件晶圆30中的器件管芯30’。因此,如图11所示的器件管芯82可以接合至图9所示的结构,随后进行封装工艺以形成包括载体晶圆20、器件晶圆30、器件管芯82和密封剂84(图11)的重建晶圆。然后可以执行后续工艺以形成图11所示的结构。
图12至图14示出了根据本发明的可选实施例的封装件的形成中的中间阶段的截面图。除了保护层62是单层之外,这些实施例类似于图1至图11中所示的实施例。除非另有说明,这些实施例中的组件的材料和形成工艺与图1至图11所示的前述实施例中由相似的参考标号表示的相似的组件基本相同。由此,可以在前述实施例的讨论中找到关于图12至图14中所示组件的形成工艺和材料的细节。
这些实施例的初始工艺与图1至图5所示的基本相同。接着,如图12所示,沉积保护层62。根据一些实施例,保护层62是均质层,整个保护层62由均质材料形成。保护层62由无氧材料形成,前体也没有氧。例如,可以使用与形成下部子层62A(图6)基本相同的方法来形成保护层62。由于保护层62的形成没有氧,在保护层62的形成中,不会有含氧工艺气体穿透并劣化器件晶圆30。
图13示出了保护层62的水平部分的去除,这可以通过平坦化工艺、各向异性蚀刻工艺或两者进行。图14示出位于器件晶圆30的背侧上的背侧互连结构的形成。对应的工艺与参考图9讨论的基本相同。后续工艺与参考图10和图11所讨论的基本相同,并且在此不再重复。
本发明的实施例具有一些有利特征。通过形成包括两个或多个子层的双层保护层或多层保护层,保护层的下部层没有氧,并且它的形成不会劣化器件晶圆中的低k介电层和金属部件。上部层具有良好的氧和湿气隔离能力,并且在后续工艺中可以阻止氧和湿气穿透至器件晶圆中。因此,改善了保护层的氧和湿气隔离能力。

上面概述了若干实施例的特征,使得本领域技术人员可以更好地理解本发明的各方面。本领域技术人员应该理解,他们可以容易地使用本发明作为基础来设计或修改用于实施与在此所介绍实施例相同的目的和/或实现相同优势的其他工艺和结构。本领域技术人员也应该意识到,这种等同构造并不背离本发明的精神和范围,并且在不背离本发明的精神和范围的情况下,在此他们可以做出多种变化、替换以及改变。
