Description
Cross Reference to Related Applications
The present application claims priority from french patent application number 2202331 filed 3/17 at 2022, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety to the maximum extent allowed by law.
Technical Field
The present disclosure relates generally to electronic devices and associated methods of manufacture.
Background
In order to comply with moore's law regarding the juxtaposition or stacking of a plurality of heterogeneous electronic chips per surface area unit, a solution is implemented, for example, using an interconnect substrate on which the chips are assembled, which substrate is provided with Through Silicon Vias (TSVs). However, the use of these through-silicon vias is a problem because it creates limitations, especially in radio frequency applications, and their implementation is expensive. Other limitations of through-silicon vias are related to the loss of available surface area due to the surface covered by the through-silicon vias and the need to adapt the connection pitch to the through-silicon via size.
It is desirable to integrate multiple chips with, for example, heterogeneous functions without using through silicon vias, and at the same time limit manufacturing costs.
There is a need in the art to overcome all or part of the disadvantages of known electronic devices.

Fig. 1 illustrates an electronic device 100 according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. The electronic device 100 includes a first electronic integrated circuit chip 110 and a second electronic integrated circuit chip 130. The first chip 110 and the second chip 130 each include, for example, substrates 112, 132; electron tracks 117, 137; and active or passive components 118, 138. The substrates 112, 132 are, for example, semiconductor materials such as silicon. The electronic tracks 117, 137 are for example stacked over a plurality of interconnect layers, and they are coupled to the components 118, 138. In one example, the first chip 110 and the second chip 130 are flip-chip type chips.
The electronic device 100 further comprises, for example, an interconnect integrated circuit 150, which interconnect integrated circuit 150 comprises, for example, a first plane 151. The interconnect circuit 150 includes, for example, a substrate 152, the substrate 152 being, for example, a semiconductor, electronic tracks 156, and optional active or passive components 158. The electron rail 156 is stacked, for example, over a plurality of interconnect layers and is coupled, for example, to a component 158. The electronic track 156 of the interconnect circuit 150 comprises, for example, at least one connection element 153 arranged on the first surface 151 of the interconnect circuit 150. The connection elements 153 are for example flush and have a flat surface and are compatible with mixed bonding or placement in direct contact of one of the connection elements 113.
The first electronic chip 110 comprises a first region 115, e.g. a first surface 116, which first region 115 is in contact with a first region 157 of the surface 151 of the interconnect circuit 150. For example, the first region 115 of the first electronic chip 110 is assembled to the first region 157 of the interconnect circuit 150 by hybrid bonding. The hybrid bond between the two surfaces corresponds to the bond between the metal portions (such as the connection elements) of each surface and the bond between the insulator portions surrounding the metal portions.
The second electronic chip 130 comprises a first region 134, e.g. a first surface 133, which first region 134 is assembled to a second region 154 of the first surface 151 of the interconnect circuit 150, e.g. by hybrid bonding. Thus, the first electronic chip 110 is electrically coupled to the second electronic chip 130, for example, via the interconnect circuit 150. In one example, not shown, this enables a direct electrical connection to be made between interconnect network 117 of chip 110 and interconnect network 137 in chip 130 through conductive tracks 157 of interconnect circuit 150 without passing through active/passive devices 158 of interconnect circuit 150. The first surfaces 116, 133 of the first and second chips 110, 130 are, for example, located on the same horizontal plane. The first chip 110 and the second chip 130 have, for example, the same height, and each chip 110, 130 comprises, for example, a second surface opposite to their first surface, the second surfaces of the first chip 110 and the second chip 130 being, for example, located on the same horizontal plane. However, the first chip 110 and the second chip 130 may have different heights from each other. Due to the bonding, the first chip 110 and the second chip 130 are rigidly attached to the connection circuit 150. This allows manipulation of the assembly created by hybrid bonding.
The electronic track 117 of the first electronic chip 110 comprises, for example, at least one connection element 113, the at least one connection element 113 being arranged on the first surface 116 of the first region 115 of the first electronic chip. The connection elements 113 are for example flush with the surface and allow contact from outside the chip. The electronic track 137 of the second electronic chip 130 comprises, for example, at least one connection element 135 arranged on the first surface 133 of the first region 134 of the first electronic chip 130. The electronic chip 156 of the interconnect circuit 150 comprises, for example, at least one connection element 155 arranged on the first surface 151 of the interconnect circuit 150. The connection elements 155 are, for example, flush and have a flat surface and are compatible with hybrid bonding or direct placement contact of one of the connection elements 135 of the second chip 130. The connection elements 113, 135 of the conductive tracks of the first and second electronic chips 110, 130 and the connection elements 153, 155 of the interconnect circuit 150 are for example at least partially surrounded by an insulator. In one example, the insulator is the same for the first chip 110 and the second chip 130 and the interconnect circuit 150. This allows for optimal hybrid bonding. The insulator is, for example, silicon oxide or a low dielectric constant (low-k) insulator.
The connection elements 113, 135, 153 and 155 are, for example, connection pads and/or planar conductive surfaces and/or surfaces prepared by surface preparation, and are therefore suitable for hybrid bonding. The surface preparation step comprises, for example, chemical mechanical polishing and/or cleaning and/or chemical surface activation for improving its adhesion.
According to one embodiment, assembling the first region 115 of the first surface 116 of the first electronic chip 110 to the first region 157 of the first surface 151 of the interconnect circuit 150 by hybrid bonding is performed between the connection elements 113 of the at least one conductive track of the first region 115 of the first surface 116 of the first electronic chip 110 and the connection elements 153 of the at least one conductive track of the first region 157 of the first surface of the interconnect circuit 150. Hybrid bonding is performed, for example, between the insulator of the connection element 113 of the at least one conductive track 117 surrounding the first region 115 of the first surface 116 of the first electronic chip 110 and the insulator of the connection element 153 of the at least one conductive track surrounding the first region 157 of the first surface 151 of the interconnect circuit 150. For example, the insulator is prepared prior to hybrid bonding. The preparation may include chemical mechanical polishing and/or cleaning and/or chemical surface activation to improve its adhesion.
According to one example, assembling the first region 132 of the second electronic chip 130 to the second region 154 of the interconnect circuit 150 by hybrid bonding is performed between the connection element 135 of the at least one conductive track of the first region 134 of the first surface 133 of the second electronic chip 130 and the connection element 155 of the at least one conductive track of the second region 154 of the first surface of the interconnect circuit 150. Hybrid bonding is performed, for example, between the insulator surrounding the connection element 135 and the insulator of the connection element 155 surrounding the at least one conductive track of the second region 154 of the first surface 151 of the interconnect circuit 150.
The use of hybrid bonding enables reliable and high quality contacts to be created.
Such an electronic device 100 enables connection of two chips having, for example, heterogeneous functions without using through holes. The interconnect circuit 150 of fig. 1 does not require more chips than the two chips 110, 130, and this enables limiting the manufacturing costs.
The first surface 133 of the second electronic chip 130 comprises, for example, a second region 136, which second region 136 is not in contact with the interconnect circuit 150 and comprises, for example, a plurality of connection pads 131. In one example, a single connection pad 131 may be envisaged. The connection pad(s) 131 are coupled to the track 137, for example. The connection pads 131 include, for example, one or more barrier layers, such as, for example, titanium nitride and/or tantalum nitride. In one example, connection pad 131 is similar to connection pad 111.
According to the example of fig. 1, the electronic device 100 optionally comprises a connection substrate 180, the connection substrate 180 comprising on a contact surface 181, for example, connection pads (not shown), for example, connection pads 111, 131 similar to the first or second electronic chip 110, 130. The connection pads of the substrate 180 are coupled to, for example, conductive tracks (not shown) arranged, for example, in a wiring substrate 182 of the connection substrate 180. The electrical coupling element 119 connects, for example, the connection pads 111, 131 of the first and/or second electronic chip 110, 130 with the connection pads of the connection substrate 180. The electrical coupling element 119 is, for example, one or more conductive balls. In another example, the electrical coupling element 119 comprises copper pillars or micro bumps arranged on connection pads (under bump metallization layer UBM) at the chip surface, forming solder pads that can be soldered to connection pads provided at the surface of the substrate 180. In one example, the coupling element 119 is formed by welding (e.g., by hot pressing or by heat treatment) between one or more conductive balls and a copper pillar.
In one example, not shown, a protective material (underfill) is implemented between the first chip 110 and the same connection substrate 180. Underfill is present, for example, in the space 160 included between the electrical coupling elements 119 and/or in the space 162 between the surface 116 and the surface 181. The proportion of underfill used is application dependent and can be estimated by one skilled in the art in seeking a compromise between, for example, mechanical robustness and thermal performance. For example, after the application of the liquid, the underfill is hardened by ultraviolet treatment and/or heat treatment.
In the example of fig. 1, the semiconductor substrate 152 of the interconnect circuit 150 is in contact with the contact surface 181 of the connection substrate 180. This enables the stability of the device 100 to be ensured.
It should be noted that mounting the rear surface of the semiconductor substrate 152 of the interconnect circuit 150 to the front surface of the connection substrate 180 does not mean that a direct electrical connection is made between the interconnect circuit 150 and the connection substrate 180. The electrical connection (for signals and power) of the interconnect circuit 150 to the connection substrate 180 is made through one or more of the first and second electronic chips 110, 130.
Further, it should be noted that the interconnect circuit 150 is not in electrical contact with, for example, the connection substrate 180. In practice, only the semiconductor substrate 152 of the interconnect circuit 150 is in contact with, for example, the connection substrate 180.
Fig. 2 illustrates an electronic device 200 according to another embodiment of the present disclosure.
Electronic device 200 is similar to device 100 except that second chip 130 does not exceed the width of interconnect circuit 150. In the example of fig. 2, the second electronic chip 130 does not include the second region 136 and does not include the connection pad 131 either. Accordingly, the second electronic chip 130 is not soldered or coupled to the connection substrate 180.
The connection substrate 180 is not illustrated in fig. 2, but may be present as in the device 100 of fig. 1 and coupled to the first chip 110. The devices 100, 200 of fig. 1 and 2 may also not include the substrate 180, and the connection pads 111, 131 may be coupled to other circuits, for example, by connection lines.
Fig. 3 illustrates a method of manufacturing the electronic device of fig. 1 and 2.
At step 302 (providing interconnect circuitry), the connection circuitry 150 is provided.
At step 304 (first and second chips are provided on a transfer substrate), a first electronic chip 110 and a second electronic chip 130 are provided.
At optional step 306 (first and second chips are secured to a transfer substrate by molding), first electronic chip 110 and second electronic chip 130 are held, for example, secured side-by-side to the transfer substrate (not shown). This step may be performed, for example, by depositing the first chip 110 and the second chip 130 on a transfer substrate, and then by depositing a molding material to hold the two chips in place after hardening.
At step 308 (molecular bonding of the first and second chips on the interconnect circuit), the first chip 110 and the second chip 130 are assembled to the interconnect circuit 150 by hybrid bonding.
At optional step 310 (removal of the transfer substrate), the transfer substrate is separated from the first and second electronic chips 110, 130, for example by a laser or thermal or mechanical separation process, depending on the temporary bonding material under consideration.
At optional step 312 (flip-chip assembly of the first chip, the second chip and the interconnect circuit), the assembly formed by the first and second electronic chips 110, 130 molecularly bonded to the interconnect circuit 150 is flipped.
At optional step 314 (connecting the contact pads of the first chip with the contact elements of the connection substrate), the connection pads 111, 131 of the respective first and second electronic chips 110, 130 are contacted with the coupling element 119 by soldering or hot-pressing or heat treatment, wherein the coupling element itself is contacted with the corresponding connection pads of the connection circuit 180.
Such a method enables limiting manufacturing costs with parallel processing of the assembly, thereby further improving assembly accuracy.
Fig. 4 shows a simplified enlarged cross-sectional view of a device 100 according to another embodiment of the present disclosure. In the example of fig. 4, the first and second electronic chips 110, 130 and the interconnect circuit 150 are, for example, similar to those of fig. 1 or fig. 2. The view of fig. 4 focuses on the interface between the first chip 110 and the interconnect circuit 150.
In the example of fig. 4, the rails 117 of the first chip 110 are coupled or connected to the connection pads 111 of the area 114 of the first surface 116, for example, and to the connection elements 113 of the area 115 of the first surface 116.
The connection pads 111 comprise, for example, one or more barrier layers (not shown), such as, for example, titanium nitride and/or tantalum nitride. The insulator layer 402 partially covers, for example, the surface of the connection pads 111 arranged towards the electrical coupling element 119, while leaving, for example, an opening with the coupling element 119 arranged thereon.
At the level of the first region 115 of the first chip 110, at least one connection element 113 is for example flush with the surface and can be brought into contact with a corresponding connection element 153 of the interconnect circuit 150 arranged directly opposite.
Accordingly, the surface 116 of the chip 110 includes connection pads 111 capable of being connected with coupling elements (e.g., balls or pillars) and connection elements 113 capable of being in direct contact with corresponding connection elements 153 of the interconnect circuit 150 by hybrid bonding.
