Abstract

Bei dem Halbleiterchip ist auf einer Oberseite eine Schutzschicht (6, 8) aus einem schleiffesten und/oder ätzresistenten Material aufgebracht. Das Material kann z. B. schleiffeste Körner enthalten. Eine bevorzugte Ausgestaltung sieht vor, dass der Halbleiterkörper (1) auf eine Dicke von weniger als 50 mum reduziert ist, so dass der Chip bei einem Versuch, die harte Schutzschicht abzuschleifen, unweigerlich bricht. Der Wafer wird von der Vorderseite her vorgesägt, damit die Chips leichter vereinzelt werden können, auf der Vorderseite mit der Schutzschicht (6) versehen und dann von der Rückseite her gedünnt.A protective layer (6, 8) made of a grinding-resistant and / or etching-resistant material is applied to the top of the semiconductor chip. The material can e.g. B. contain grinding-resistant grains. A preferred embodiment provides that the semiconductor body (1) is reduced to a thickness of less than 50 μm, so that the chip inevitably breaks when an attempt is made to grind off the hard protective layer. The wafer is sawn from the front so that the chips can be separated more easily, provided with the protective layer (6) on the front and then thinned from the back.

Description

Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft einen Halbleiterchip mit einer Abdeckung zum Schutz gegen eine nicht autorisierte Strukturanalyse und ein zugehöriges Herstellungsverfahren.The present invention relates to a semiconductor chip a cover to protect against an unauthorized Structural analysis and an associated manufacturing process.

Bei Halbleiterchips, die eine sicherheitsrelevante Informati­ on enthalten, insbesondere Halbleiterchips mit einer für Chipkarten vorgesehenen integrierten Schaltung, ist es erfor­ derlich, Schutzmaßnahmen vorzusehen, die verhindern, dass die Inhalte der integrierten Schaltung ausspioniert werden. Her­ kömmliche Gehäuse oder Abdeckungen für Halbleiterchips bieten keinen ausreichenden Schutz, wenn die Gehäuse entfernt werden können oder eine Schutzabdeckung abgeschliffen oder abgeätzt werden kann.In the case of semiconductor chips that contain safety-related information on contain, in particular semiconductor chips with a for Chip card provided integrated circuit, it is required It is necessary to provide protective measures that prevent the Contents of the integrated circuit can be spied on. here offer conventional housings or covers for semiconductor chips insufficient protection when the housing is removed can or a protective cover ground or etched can be.

Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es, einen Halbleiter­ chip anzugeben, der gegen ein Ausspionieren der in dem Chip gespeicherten Daten ausreichend geschützt ist. Außerdem soll ein zugehöriges Herstellungsverfahren für einen derartigen Halbleiterchip angegeben werden.The object of the present invention is a semiconductor specify chip against spying in the chip stored data is adequately protected. In addition, should an associated manufacturing process for such Semiconductor chip can be specified.

Diese Aufgabe wird mit dem Halbleiterchip mit der Schutzab­ deckung mit den Merkmalen des Anspruches 1 bzw. mit dem Ver­ fahren zur Herstellung von Halbleiterchips mit einer Schutz­ abdeckung mit den Merkmalen des Anspruches 4 gelöst. Ausge­ staltungen ergeben sich aus den abhängigen Ansprüchen.This task is done with the semiconductor chip with the protection cover with the features of claim 1 or with the Ver drive to manufacture semiconductor chips with a protection Cover with the features of claim 4 solved. out Events result from the dependent claims.

Bei dem erfindungsgemäßen Halbleiterchip ist auf einer Ober­ seite eine Schutzschicht aus einem schleiffesten und/oder ätzresistenten Material aufgebracht. Das Material kann z. B. schleiffeste Körner enthalten. Eine bevorzugte Ausgestaltung sieht vor, dass der Halbleiterkörper auf eine Dicke von weni­ ger als 50 µm reduziert ist, so dass der Chip bei einem Versuch, die harte Schutzschicht abzuschleifen, unweigerlich bricht. Der Informationsgehalt oder die Struktur der Schal­ tung sind damit so weitgehend zerstört, dass eine Analyse nicht mehr möglich ist. Eine harte Schutzschicht aus schleif­ festem und/oder ätzresistentem Material lässt daher keine Möglichkeit, die in dem Chip integrierte Schaltung freizule­ gen, ohne die Schaltung so weitgehend zu zerstören, dass eine Analyse ihrer Struktur nicht mehr möglich ist.In the semiconductor chip according to the invention is on an upper a protective layer made of a grinding-resistant and / or etching-resistant material applied. The material can e.g. B. Grinding-resistant grains included. A preferred embodiment provides that the semiconductor body to a thickness of a few is reduced less than 50 µm, so that the chip when trying  inevitably sanding down the hard protective layer breaks. The information content or the structure of the scarf device are so largely destroyed that an analysis is no longer possible. A hard protective layer made of sanding solid and / or caustic resistant material therefore leaves no Possibility to free the circuit integrated in the chip gene without destroying the circuit so much that a Analysis of their structure is no longer possible.

Es folgt eine Beschreibung eines bevorzugten Ausführungsbei­ spiels des erfindungsgemäßen Halbleiterchips anhand eines be­ sonders geeigneten Herstellungsverfahrens, das anhand der Fig. 1 bis 5 erläutert wird, die jeweils Zwischenprodukte im Querschnitt zeigen.The following is a description of a preferred embodiment of the semiconductor chip according to the invention using a particularly suitable production method, which is explained with reference to FIGS. 1 to 5, each of which shows intermediate products in cross section.

In Fig. 1 ist ein Wafer 1 dargestellt, in dem Bauelemente, die die integrierten Schaltungen der Chips bilden, im Wesent­ lichen fertig gestellt sind. Zwischen den Anteilen des Wa­ fers, die für die einzelnen Halbleiterchips 10 vorgesehen sind, werden Einschnitte 4 hergestellt. Diese Einschnitte 4 können im einfachsten Fall Einkerbungen sein. Es ist auch möglich, die Einschnitte durch ein Vorsägen des Wafers von der prozessierten Oberseite her bis in eine Tiefe von typisch etwa 30 µm bis 70 µm herzustellen. Auf der Oberseite des Wa­ fers befinden sich Anschlusskontaktflächen 2, z. B. aus Me­ tall oder leitfähig dotiertem Polysilizium, die dem elektri­ schen Anschluss der integrierten Schaltungen nach außen die­ nen und die eine Passivierung 3 der Oberfläche, die z. B. ein Nitrid sein kann, unterbrechen.In Fig. 1, a wafer 1 is shown in which components which form the integrated circuits of the chips are essentially finished. Incisions 4 are made between the portions of the wafer that are provided for the individual semiconductor chips 10 . In the simplest case, these incisions 4 can be notches. It is also possible to make the incisions by pre-sawing the wafer from the processed upper side to a depth of typically about 30 μm to 70 μm. On the top of the wa fers there are connection contact surfaces 2 , z. B. from tall or conductive doped polysilicon, the electrical rule's connection of the integrated circuits to the outside and the one passivation 3 of the surface, the z. B. can be a nitride, interrupt.

In einem nachfolgenden Verfahrensschritt wird eine Maske 5, vorzugsweise ein Fotolack, in die Einschnitte 4 und auf die Anschlusskontaktflächen 2 in einer für die nachfolgenden Schritte ausreichenden Höhe eingebracht bzw. aufgebracht. Diese Maske 5 überragt insbesondere die Passivierung 3. Es wird dann die vorgesehene Schutzschicht 6 hergestellt, so dass sie entsprechend Fig. 2 ganzflächig aufgebracht und ausreichend hart auf einem schleiffesten und/oder ätzresis­ tenten Material ausgebildet ist.In a subsequent method step, a mask 5 , preferably a photoresist, is introduced or applied into the incisions 4 and onto the connection contact surfaces 2 at a height sufficient for the subsequent steps. This mask 5 projects above the passivation 3 in particular. The intended protective layer 6 is then produced, so that it is applied over the entire area according to FIG. 2 and is sufficiently hard on a grinding-resistant and / or etch-resistant material.

Wie in Fig. 3 dargestellt, wird dann die Oberseite durch Rückschleifen planarisiert. Da der Wafer in diesem Verfah­ rensschritt noch eine für eine ausreichende mechanische Sta­ bilität erforderliche Dicke aufweist, kann die harte Schutz­ schicht 6 so weit abgetragen werden, dass das Material der Maske 5 freigelegt ist. Auf die dadurch zumindest weitgehend planarisierte Oberfläche wird vorzugsweise eine abschließend planarisierende Deckschicht 7, z. B. aus einem Kunststoff­ material, aufgebracht.As shown in Fig. 3, the top is then planarized by grinding back. Since the wafer in this procedural step still has a thickness required for sufficient mechanical stability, the hard protective layer 6 can be removed to such an extent that the material of the mask 5 is exposed. A finally planarizing top layer 7 , e.g. B. made of a plastic material.

Dann wird der Wafer von der Rückseite her gedünnt. Das ist in Fig. 3 durch die nach oben gerichteten Pfeile angedeutet. Dieses Dünnen kann vorzugsweise mittels CMP (chemical mechan­ ical polishing) geschehen. Der Halbleiterkörper des Wafers 1 wird so weit gedünnt, dass der wesentliche Anteil des Mate­ riales, in dem Beispiel der Fig. 3 bis zu der gestrichelt eingetragenen Grenze 11, entfernt wird. Vorzugsweise wird da­ bei erreicht, dass die Halbleiterchips 10 jetzt nicht mehr über das Halbleitermaterial, sondern nur noch über das Mate­ rial der in die Einschnitte 4 eingebrachten Maske 5 miteinan­ der verbunden sind. Dadurch wird das Vereinzeln der Halblei­ terchips erleichtert.Then the wafer is thinned from the back. This is indicated in Fig. 3 by the arrows pointing upwards. This thinning can preferably be done by means of CMP (chemical mechanical ical polishing). The semiconductor body of the wafer 1 is thinned to such an extent that the essential portion of the material, in the example of FIG. 3, is removed up to the limit 11 shown in broken lines. It is preferably achieved that the semiconductor chips 10 are no longer connected to one another via the semiconductor material, but only via the material of the mask 5 introduced into the incisions 4 . This makes it easier to separate the semiconductor terchips.

Fig. 4 zeigt den gedünnten Wafer im Querschnitt. Der Halb­ leiterkörper des Wafers besitzt nach diesem Verfahrensschritt vorzugsweise eine Dicke von weniger als 50 µm. Es wird dann noch bei einer bevorzugten Ausführungsform des Verfahrens auf die Rückseite des Wafer, d. h. auf diejenige Seite des Wa­ fers, von der bei dem Verfahrensschritt des Dünnens das Mate­ rial abgetragen wurde, eine weitere Schutzschicht 8 aufge­ bracht, die vorzugsweise ebenfalls aus dem schleiffesten und/oder ätzresistenten Material der oberen Schutzschicht 6 ausgebildet wird. Es kann dann noch eine Deckschicht 9 auf dieser Seite, z. B. ebenfalls aus einem Kunststoffmaterial, aufgebracht werden. Die Halbleiterchips werden aus dem ge­ dünnten Wafer in einer an sich bekannten Weise vereinzelt, was ohne Schwierigkeiten geschehen kann, da die Halbleiter­ chips im Wesentlichen nur noch durch das Material der Maske 5 miteinander verbunden sind. Die Halbleiterchips sind jetzt so dünn, dass ein Versuch, die Schutzschicht 6 zu entfernen, zum Bruch der Halbleiterchips führt. Restliche Anteile 15 der Maske, die noch auf den Anschlusskontaktflächen 2 vorhanden sind, können zusammen mit der darauf aufgebrachten Deck­ schicht 7 entfernt werden, um so den Anschluss von Bonddräh­ ten oder dergleichen zu ermöglichen. Fig. 4 shows the thinned wafer in cross section. The semiconductor body of the wafer preferably has a thickness of less than 50 μm after this process step. It is then in a preferred embodiment of the method on the back of the wafer, ie on that side of the wafer, from which the material was removed in the thinning step, a further protective layer 8 is applied, which is preferably also made of the grinding-resistant and / or etch-resistant material of the upper protective layer 6 is formed. There can then be a cover layer 9 on this side, e.g. B. also be applied from a plastic material. The semiconductor chips are separated from the thinned wafer in a manner known per se, which can be done without difficulty since the semiconductor chips are essentially only connected to one another by the material of the mask 5 . The semiconductor chips are now so thin that an attempt to remove the protective layer 6 leads to the breakage of the semiconductor chips. Remaining portions 15 of the mask, which are still present on the connection contact surfaces 2 , can be removed together with the cover layer 7 applied thereon, so as to enable the connection of bonding wires or the like.

Fig. 5 zeigt im Querschnitt ein Beispiel für einen vollstän­ dig montierten (gehäusten) Halbleiterchip, der mit Bonddräh­ ten 12 auf den Anschlusskontaktflächen 2 versehen und auf ei­ nem Leadframe 14 oder einem Chipkartenkörper oder dergleichen aufgebracht und mit einer Vergussmasse 13 (globe top) bedeckt ist. Fig. 5 shows in cross section an example of a fully assembled (packaged) semiconductor chip, which is provided with bonding wires 12 on the connection contact surfaces 2 and applied to a lead frame 14 or a chip card body or the like and covered with a sealing compound 13 (globe top) is.
