Definitions
- the invention relates to technologies for semiconductor components in power electronics, with which a sealing of the semiconductor devices is improved, in particular in relation to the ever increasing demands on the reliability of the semiconductor device components, essentially to the moisture resistance.
- German Patent No. DE 10 2005 044 522 (Schott) teaches a method of applying porous glass layers to a substrate.
- the known method comprises the following steps: providing a substrate and a source of matter followed by depositing a glass layer having a degree of porosity of greater than 1% by means of a Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) process on the substrate.
- PVD Physical Vapor Deposition
- the method uses a PVD system which has an electron source, a deflection magnet and an electron source.
- An electron beam from the electron source is directed to a disk-shaped target made of glass, preferably of low-melting borosilicate glass.
- the electron beam vaporizes the target and the material from the target deposits on the substrate to form the glassy layer.
- high performance polymers such as e.g. Polyimides used for sealing the surfaces of the components.
- This is e.g. in document US 2008/0224303 Al.
- These high-performance polymers have the advantage that they can be applied and also structured with photolithographic processes customary in the semiconductor industry.
- these high-performance polymers have very good breakdown strengths.
- the curing (curing) processes required after application of the layers in this known process up to a few 100.degree. C. lead to a stressing of the layers due to the fact that the substrate material silicon (conventional substrate material for power semiconductors) is significantly different thermal expansion behavior. The latter can lead to a possible malfunction of the component or to an increased mechanical load of the underlying layer structure at high temperature loads, such as may occur during operation of power semiconductor elements, which can greatly reduce the service life of the component.
- the seals with the hitherto used high-performance polymers do not have sufficient hermeticity against ambient moisture, even if they are applied at comparatively high layer thicknesses.
- a method for producing an electrically insulating and in particular moisture-resistant hermetic layer on a power semiconductor device by thermal evaporation of a glassy Schichtaufdampfmaterials is disclosed.
- This hermetic encapsulation of a component could be implemented, for example, by the application of at least one thin layer of borosilicate glass and / or particularly preferably by combination with other glassy inorganic layers.
- the deposition of the glass layer can be provided in a form A as a plasma-assisted electron beam evaporation. Due to the plasma utilization, a grain pakt ist / V erdichtung the glass layer is generated.
- the thus densified layer has a significantly reduced moisture diffusion and can thus protect a component, in particular an electronic component, from atmospheric influences.
- the properties of the vapor-deposited borosilicate glass layers as a moisture barrier could be demonstrated by a temperature and humidity deposition on silicon substrates. A possible incorporation of moisture into the layer would result in a bending of the coated silicon substrates due to the increase in the layer tension. Even after aging at 85 ° C. and 85% relative humidity, no increase in deflection could be measured after 1000 hours.
- hermeticity of the borosilicate glass layers could be demonstrated by a helium leak test according to Mil Std 883, method 1014. For an approximately 8 ⁇ thick layer so a leakage rate of less than 10- 8 mbar * l / s has been determined.
- the plasma utilization during the deposition allows a targeted influencing of the layer stress.
- the vapor-deposited glass layers can be adapted in this way and by the composition of their composition to the thermal expansion behavior of the substrate material used.
- the invention can be used for example for the following components in power electronics application: P IIS 'diode, Schottky diode, power MOSFET, IGBT, BJT or thyristor.

- the vacuum chamber 4 further has an electron beam evaporator 7 and a plasma source 8.
- the installation in FIG. 5 is shown only by way of example. In use, the vacuum is in the range of 10 '3 to 10 "6 mbar.
- the plasma source is a high-frequency, magnetfelduntcrconstitutede plasma source with Apassnet factory, which produces a quasi-neutral plasma jet.
- Apassnet factory which produces a quasi-neutral plasma jet.
- noble gas plasmas or oxygen plasmas may be used.
- Borosilicate glass layers have, in addition to their high barrier effect to ambient moisture, a very good chemical resistance.
- the residual stresses resulting from the plasma-assisted deposition in the layer of borosilicate glass in comparison to the layers of Polymers moderate.
- borosilicate glass has very good electrical properties, for example, the dielectric strength of the layers is up to 250 V / ⁇ .
- layers of e.g. Borosilicate glass with a thickness between see 50nm and some ⁇ ⁇ , preferably between lOOnm and ⁇ ⁇ produce.
- the growth rate is in the range of 100 to 500 nm / min and is therefore higher than other depositions such as e.g. while sputtering.
- the system 20 allows both direct deposition on the metallization of a semiconductor device, as well as deposition on other inorganic layers such.
- Silicon nitride On their own, layers of silicon nitride do not have a sufficient barrier effect with respect to ambient moisture and, especially at high layer thicknesses, can strongly stress the component through the stress introduced into the layer composite
- a borosilicate glass layer can be deposited on a glassy layer of aluminum oxide previously deposited by plasma-assisted electron beam evaporation.
- Systems made of borosilicate glass have, as described above, a very high barrier action against moisture. In most cases, however, such systems include a proportion of alkaline components in the range of up to a few wt .-%. These alkaline components could migrate in the sometimes very strong electric fields in applications in power semiconductor devices in the boundary layer to the substrate and thus adversely affect the corresponding circuits of the device. This can be avoided, for example, by the deposition of specially synthesized alkali-free glass systems.
- Alumina is plasma-assisted vaporizable and therefore the deposition can be made in the same system 20.
- Aluminum oxide barrier layers may have a thickness between 50 nm and ⁇ ⁇ , preferably between 1 OOnm and 4 ⁇ .
- Silicon nitride barrier layers are deposited in one aspect of the invention by sputtering or in a CVD process.
- sputtered metallic films of titanium-tungsten or titanium which form a particularly dense nitride phase by additional introduction of nitrogen during the deposition process.
- the glass layers described or the combination with other inorganic glassy layers have in general compared to the polymer layers used according to the prior art, such as polyimides, the advantage of an adapted to the substrate 1 expansion behavior.
- a variant of the method can be provided to carry out the deposition of, for example, alumina and Borosilikatgias in the same system 20 in successive process steps.
- a smooth transition of the different materials can be realized by co-evaporation from different sources.
- the deposition in the same vacuum chamber 4 also has the advantage that the substrate 1 or the layer deposited first between the deposits can not incorporate ambient moisture, which could lead to a reduced layer adhesion of the last deposited layer or additional stresses in the layer composite.
- a deposition of glassy Schichtaufdampfmaterialien at substrate temperatures below 120 ° C can be realized. This allows the direct coating of pre-structured resist masks and consequently a gentle additive structuring of the deposited inorganic layers by means of an advantageous lift-off
