Definitions

  • This invention relates to integrated circuit electrical isolation, and more specifically to integrated circuit total isolation using both surface mount and flip chip fabrication technologies with a diamond film passivation layer.
  • Dielectric isolation for integrated circuits is well known.
  • a trench or groove is formed in the semiconductor chip substrate and is lined or filled with an insulative material, to electrically isolate various portions of the chip. For instance, a particular portion of the chip such as power (high voltage) transistors is surrounded by an insulated trench, thereby electrically isolating the power transistors from logic type (low voltage) transistors.
  • This prior art trench isolation has the significant disadvantage that the bottom of each trench is an area of substantial mechanical stress in the silicon substrate, thereby being detrimental to chip functionality. Such trenches thus reduce yield (increase cost) .
  • This deficiency is sometimes overcome by using "round hole” techniques to form the bottom of each trench (providing a U-shaped rather than a rectangular cross-section) which however, also tends to increase cost.
  • Another method for achieving isolation uses two wafers, with an oxide layer formed on a surface of one wafer which is then bonded to the second wafer; the oxide layer provides the isolation. After bonding the two wafers, the backside of one of the wafers is polished away down to the oxide layer to isolate a portion of the remaining substrate.
  • this is very expensive because there can be no defects in the bond between the two wafers. Defects are often induced by particles in the bond between the two wafers, causing low production yield and hence high cost. Also, oxidation induced stacking faults (OISF) due to processing temperature cycles are undesirably more pronounced in such a bond than in bulk silicon.
  • OFISF oxidation induced stacking faults
  • trench dielectric isolation is part of a chip fabrication process which allows the packaging for each chip to be formed on the wafer, thereby eliminating the prior art separate step of packaging a semiconductor die after the wafer is scribed into multiple die. Therefore the disclosed process is the equivalent of assembly or packaging the integrated circuit die at "waferscale", since each die is already packaged before the wafer is scribed.
  • transistors or other semiconductor devices are conventionally fabricated on a semiconductor substrate. Some of these devices may be power transistors (operating at high voltage) and others may be lower voltage logic-type transistors formed in another portion of the substrate.
  • the devices are field effect transistors having gate electrodes formed in an insulated layer overlying the principal surface of the semiconductor substrate.
  • the transistors are IGBT's (insulated gate bipolar transistors) , or bipolar transistors, or other semiconductor devices.
  • the fabrication process technology may be a CMOS, NMOS, PMOS, DMOS, BiCMOS, or bipolar technology, for example.
  • an interconnect pattern is conventionally formed overlying and interconnecting the gate electrodes (or other transistor elements) , and for contacting the semiconductor regions (e.g. source and drain) formed in the substrate.
  • a plurality of insulated trenches are then formed penetrating the principal surface of the substrate into the depth thereof, and surrounding (in a top view) various portions of the substrate.
  • the trenches are conventionally insulated by filling or lining them with an insulative material followed by a planarization. This step may be prior to metallization.
  • a portion of the backside of the substrate is removed by conventional machining or chemical processes, exposing the bottom portion of each of the trenches, and thereby achieving full (total) electrical isolation of the various substrate portions surrounded by each trench.
  • the frontside surface Prior to the step of removing the backside portion of the substrate, the frontside surface is bonded to a heat sink cap or plate (made for instance of silicon) using epoxy or similar bonding materials.
  • This heat sink cap also provides the needed mechanical support for the substrate, which is otherwise quite thin following the substrate removal step.
  • vias penetrate from the backside surface of the substrate to its principal (frontside) surface, allowing electrically conductive material formed in the vias to contact an interconnect structure already formed on the substrate frontside surface. Extensions of the vias on the substrate backside define posts for surface mount electrical contacts. Other similar posts formed on the backside surface of the substrate make contact to the bulk substrate.
  • the heat sink cap attached to the frontside substrate surface has a mechanical and heat dissipation function, with no electrical connections provided thereby.
  • the heat sink cap also carries on it an electrical interconnect, making electrical contact to the conventional interconnect on the substrate frontside surface.
  • This heat sink cap may be attached to a conventional flip chip backplate.
  • the electrical contacts formed on the substrate backside surface are the conventional drain or collector contacts for e.g. power integrated circuits.
  • the individual integrated circuits are packaged while still being part of a single wafer, by the application of the heat sink cap which is attached (by epoxy or other adhesive) to the wafer frontside surface.
  • This cap replaces the conventional plastic or ceramic packaging which in the prior art is applied only after the wafer is scribed into individual die.
  • the full trench isolation between the die allows the die to be scribed adjacent to the isolation trenches, together with attached front end mechanical support plate (cap) , so no further packaging is needed.
  • the thickness of the substrate after the substrate removal step is less than about 50 micrometers. This very thin substrate is free of heat induced mechanical stresses, due to its mechanical flexibility.
  • integrated circuit chips in accordance with the invention are inexpensively fabricated using essentially conventional steps which provide a high yield, thus reducing cost.
  • the dielectric isolation trenches may conventionally be lined, for instance with silicon dioxide (formed from the silicon trench walls) , or may be completely filled with silicon dioxide, or may be lined with silicon dioxide and then filled with another material such as CVD (chemical vapor deposition) nitride, polysilicon or oxide. In another embodiment, the trenches are filled with conventional spun on glass. Other insulating materials may be used for the trench dielectric.
  • the heat sink cap is typically silicon, silicon carbide, silicon nitride, aluminum nitride, molybdenum, or other material which provides sufficient heat transfer and is conveniently fabricated.
  • the removal of the backside of the substrate advantageously eliminates mechanical stresses normally present at the bottom of a trench formed in silicon.
  • trench isolation is overcome, resulting in a thin, flexible substrate.
  • the prior art requirement for a semiconductor buried layer in the substrate is eliminated, due to the very thin substrate and formation of a layer of conductive material on selective areas of the substrate backside surface.
  • a backside contact which is a metal plate or metallization layer rather than a buried semiconductor layer.
  • the metallized drain (or collector) contact on the backside surface which is in relatively close proximity to the active transistors (due to the thinness of the substrate) , increases current carrying capability over that of the prior art chips which require either the buried layer or current being transmitted through the relatively thick bulk of the semiconductor substrate.
  • the actual thickness of the final substrate itself is the minimum necessary to support (mechanically and electrically) the active transistor regions.
  • This thickness may be as little as 10 microns, in contrast to prior art integrated circuits typically having a 400 micron die thickness needed for mechanical support for the integrated circuit.
  • the step of removing the backside portion of the substrate after trench formation means that the initial trench depth need not be precisely determined.
  • formation of trenches of precise depth is a significant processing limitation.
  • exact trench depth is not critical.
  • the fabrication process in accordance with the invention advantageously allows for an isolated backside contact structure which is not a single contact but a plurality of individual backside contacts, each contact associated with a particular portion of the die.
  • first backside contact to a power transistor portion of the integrated circuit
  • second backside contact associated with a low voltage transistor portion of the integrated circuit.
  • backside contacts are selectable for a particular portion of the integrated circuit, and various portions of the chip need not share a common collector or common drain.
  • the passivation layer which serves as an isolation layer and an attachment layer to bond the IC wafer (substrate) to the heat sink cap or plate is a CVD (Chemical Vapor Deposition) diamond film.
  • CVD Chemical Vapor Deposition
  • Such material advantageously has high thermal conductivity and high electric resistivity.
  • the diamond film is deposited on top of the substrate after the final front side surface metal patterning.
  • a thermally conductive adhesive (such as silver epoxy) is applied to the exposed surface of the deposited diamond film to attach the substrate to the plate.
  • This use of diamond film is compatible both with the surface mount and flip chip embodiments described above.
  • the diamond layer may be patterned so that particular portions of the metal contact or bonding pads are connected to and through the support plate to external leads from the front side of the wafer, in the flip chip embodiment.

  • Figs. 13 to 17 illustrate exemplary fabrication steps of the flip chip type embodiment of the invention.

It is understood that these are conventionally drawn cross sections of an integrated circuit showing only a small portion of the circuit, i.e. a small portion of a wafer. No topside views are provided, since the top side geometry of the integrated circuit is conventional, as will be understood by one of ordinary skill in the art from the following description. Also, this is only an illustration of the surface mount approach, which is not limited to semiconductor devices of the type shown.

  • the trench etch is a conventional anisotropic process. It is to be understood that trenches 72a, ..., 72e as shown here in cross-section, would in a topside view interconnect so as to surround various portions of the integrated circuit, i.e. so as to surround the power transistor portion 22, 24 thereby separating this portion from the portion including P tub 38.

  • Passivation layer 96 is 0.5 to 2.5 micrometers thick.
  • an epoxy material layer 98 is conventionally deposited 25 to 250 micrometers thick.
  • This epoxy material 98 is e.g. a high performance epoxy resin composition that is thermally conductive (such as silver epoxy) .

  • Cap 100 is about 500 micrometers thick and is e.g. undoped silicon.
  • a single cap 100 covers the entire wafer which includes substrate 10 and silicon layer 20. Other bonding materials and processes other than epoxy may be used to affix cap 100. Cap 100 achieves thermal conductivity through epoxy layer 98 and also provides sufficient mechanical support for the substrate 10, silicon layer 20, and the active transistor regions and interconnect formed thereon.
  • the backside surface of substrate 10 is partially removed by grinding, etching, or CMP (chemical-mechanical polishing) so that the total thickness of substrate 10 and/or silicon layer 20 is in the range of 5 to 100 microns. This is in contrast to the original total thickness of structures 10 and 20 of about 500 microns. (Again, these dimensions are illustrative and not limiting.)
  • the goal is to reduce the thickness of substrate 10 and silicon layer 20 to a minimum necessary for electrical functioning of the transistors formed therein.
  • the removing step reduces the thickness of substrate 10 so that the bottom portion of each of trenches 72a, ..., 72e is exposed, and thereby the insulative material formed in each of these trenches is exposed at the backside surface of substrate 10.
  • heat sink cap 100 is done prior to the removing step to ensure that the substrate, after the removing step, remains in one integrated piece.
  • Conventional masking, implantation, and annealing steps may be added to this process, as desired to form N+ or P+ contacts on the backside surface of substrate 10 for subsequent metal layer 104.
  • the backside surface of substrate 10 is metallized by a conventional sputtering or evaporative process to form a metal layer 104 (aluminum) thereon having a thickness of e.g. 0.15 to 1.5 micrometers.

  • each portion of the die need not have a contact pad; contact pads 104a, 104b are only provided to those portions of the die which require same. (It is to be understood that conventionally some types of transistors do not require backside contacts.)
  • a protective/passivation layer 110 is deposited on the backside surface of substrate 10 overlying contact pads 104a and 104b.
  • layer 110 is conventionally patterned to define openings 112a and 112b.
  • Each opening 112a and 112b is associated with a particular electrical contact 90a, 90g on the upper side surface of silicon layer 20, as shown.

  • This deep silicon etching step uses a wet or wet/dry or dry etching technique.
  • Vias 116a, 116b need only be wide enough to establish good electrical paths to contacts 90a, 90g and otherwise their dimensions in terms of width are not critical; neither is their cross-sectional shape critical. Then as shown in Fig. 10 the remaining portions of layer 110 may be conventionally stripped off or kept as a passivation layer.

  • metal posts 126, 128 are deposited on metal contacts 104a, 104b.
  • posts 126, 128 are formed by screen printing the desired type of metal on respectively the backside 104, 104b interconnection leads to establish the desired thickness for the surface mount posts.
  • the diameter of the surface mount posts may vary, depending on the particular application.
  • an (optional) passivation layer 136 is deposited over all exposed surfaces of the surface mount posts 124, 126, 128 and 130 to a thickness of 0.8 to 1.2 micrometers.
  • Passivation layer 136 is e.g. polyamide or low temperature oxide.
  • passivation layer 136 is removed (by masking and etching or other means, for instance CMP) from the bottom surfaces of each surface mount post 124, 126, 128, 130, so as to leave the post bottom surfaces exposed for soldering, such as to a printed circuit board.
  • the height of the surface mount posts extending from the lower backside surface of substrate 10 is conventionally 10 to 300 micrometers, or any other height as needed depending on the mounting application.
  • Fig. 12 all of the electrical interconnections to outside of the chip are provided on the backside surface of substrate 10 by the surface mount posts 124, 126, 128 and 130. Subsequently (not shown) the wafer is scribed into individual integrated circuit die along predescribed scribe lines which are for instance adjacent to dielectrically filled trenches. Thus as a result of the scribing step, the various integrated circuit die are already packaged by the top side cap 100 and the bottom side passivation layer 136; hence no further packaging is needed.
  • the initial processing steps are identical to those shown in Figs. 1 to 5 for the surface mount embodiment, resulting in the structure of Fig. 13.
  • the flip chip embodiment is not limited to semiconductor devices of the type shown.
  • the structure of Fig. 13 is identical to that of Fig. 5, except that in Fig. 13 the next step is that passivation layer 160 (which is similar in material and thickness to passivation layer 96 in Fig. 6) is masked using a mask layer (not shown) which is patterned, with subsequent etching to define contact openings 164a, 164b, therethrough.
  • Contact openings 164a, 164b expose a portion of the underlying electrical contacts 90a, 90g.
  • the goal in this embodiment is to define both substrate frontside and backside electrical contacts; openings 164a, 164b define the frontside contact openings.
  • silicon (or other suitable material) heat sink cap 172 is provided, having formed thereon (prior to assembly to the substrate 10) metal (aluminum or a solderable material) interconnect structures 176a, 176b.
  • Interconnect structures 176a, 176b include interconnect lines on the surface of cap 172 which faces contacts 90a, 90b; these interconnect lines have a thickness of e.g. 10 to 50 micrometers.
  • Cap 172 is electrically insulated on all surfaces by e.g. oxide dielectric layer 175. Interconnect structures 176a, 176b are then conventionally soldered or sintered to underlying contacts 90a, 90g. This electrical contact can be provided by any other conventional method.
  • Cap 172 is attached to the underlying structure by a high performance thermally conductive (and electrically insulative) epoxy resin layer 168 (or other high performance adhesive) formed on passivation layer 160 to a thickness of 25 to 250 micrometers. Adhesive layer 168 is prevented from fouling the electrical interconnections (between elements 176a,
  • 176b and 90a, 90b) by masking and etching the adhesive layer 168 or by polishing it away from the interconnections.
  • adhesive layer 168 is initially formed in a thick layer covering structures 176a, 176b, then etched back to expose the ends of structures 176a, 176b using a wet or dry etch.
  • cap 172 serves as a heat sink and supports contact structures 176a, 176b which connect through vias extending through cap 172 to form interconnect contacts 174a, 174b on the opposite surface of cap 172.
  • These interconnect contacts 174a, 174b are suitable for attachment to an underlying supporting conventional flip chip-type back plate (not shown) providing mechanical support and electrical bonds thereto.
  • backside surface of substrate 10 is polished or etched away to expose the lower portions of dielectrically insulated trenches 72a, ..., 72e. Again, the total thickness of substrate 10 and silicon layer 20 is minimized by this removing step to that needed for proper electrical functioning.
  • backside contacts 178a, 178b are formed, similar to contacts 104a, 104b in Fig. 8.
  • backside passivation layer 186 is deposited to a thickness of e.g.
  • oxide or nitride or an oxide-nitride "sandwich" material over the backside surface of substrate 10 and initially over contact areas 178a and 178b, but is then removed from the exposed surfaces by use of a mask which is then patterned, and etching away of the unneeded portions of passivation layer 186.
  • Fig. 17 provides both frontside substrate electrical contacts 174a, 174b through cap 172 and also backside contacts 178a, 178b.
  • the frontside leads are beam or tunnel lead structures or types to the transistors.
  • the above-described flip chip type and surface mount embodiments use conventional silicon dioxide or nitride as the dielectric insulation and passivation layer between the semiconductor wafer itself and the heat sink plate. These materials are known to provide relatively poor heat conduction, due to for instance the very low thermal conductivity of silicon dioxide of approximately 2 W/mK. In contrast, diamond film (which is also a good dielectric insulating material) provides thermal conductivities of about 2,000 W/mK. Also diamond is well known to be chemically inert, and due to its having the densest crystal lattice of any known material, the diffusion of other elements into diamond is very low. Thus diamond is not only a good dielectric insulator with excellent thermal conductivity but it is also a material which serves effectively as a passivation layer, providing good corrosion protection.
  • diamond film has the best combination of thermal conductivity and electrical resistivity of available materials.
  • Other materials such as aluminum nitride, aluminum oxide, or silicon carbide also provide high dielectric insulation but much less thermal conductivity than diamond.
  • the only materials providing thermal conductivity similar to that of diamond film are electrically conductive metals such as copper and silver, which are not useful for passivation.
  • CVD chemical vapor deposition
  • methane or acetylene is used as the carbon source with significant partial pressure of atomic hydrogen.
  • Excitation sources used include microwave and radio frequency plasmas, hot filament and thermal plasmas and combustion flames.
  • Methods for depositing diamond film in accordance with the present invention include low temperature microwave plasma assisted CVD.
  • An alternative is an arc jet CVD process. It is known to pattern diamond films using conventional oxygen-based RIE (reactive ion etching) processes, as are well known in semi-conductor fabrication.
  • RIE reactive ion etching
  • a diamond film formed by one of the above described processes is substituted for passivation layer 96.
  • the diamond film is formed to be a layer e.g. approximately 0.5 to 10 micrometers thick (but this is not limiting) .
  • a thermally conductive adhesive such as commercially available silver epoxy is used to bond the plate 100 to the diamond film. All other processing steps are as described above for this embodiment.
  • passivation layer 160 is a CVD (or other type) diamond film approximately 0.5 to 10 micrometers thick (again this dimension is not limiting) .
  • This diamond film is, as described above for the non-diamond film flip chip type embodiment, masked using a mask layer to pattern it to define the contact openings 164A, 164B therethrough.
  • the remaining of the processing is as described above, using a thermally conductive (but electrically insulative) high performance adhesive to bond the heat sink cap 172 to the diamond film passivation layer 160.
  • the process steps in terms of structure are similar to those described above for the non-diamond film flip chip type embodiment, except for the presence of the diamond film passivation layer material.

Abstract

Puce à circuit intégré dans laquelle chaque partie présente une isolation diélectrique des sillons tout entiers. Un couvercle de puits thermique (100) est attaché à une couche de passivation diamantée (96) sur la surface avant du substrat. Cette couche de passivation est un film diamanté déposé chimiquement en phase vapeur qui assure à la fois l'isolation électrique et la conductivité thermique. Dans une version de puce à protubérances, des contacts électriques avant (174a, 174b) s'étendent à travers la couche de passivation avant jusqu'au couvercle de puits thermique. Dans une version de montage en surface, des voies sont pratiquées dans le substrat par attaque chimique, des supports (90a, 90b) de montage en surface étant formés sur les voies pour se trouver en contact avec les contacts électriques avant et assurer tous les contacts électriques sur la surface arrière du substrat. La tranche est ensuite découpée en dé dans les deux versions sans nécessiter d'autre conditionnement.
