- Other applications include MEMS, glass cores for packaging in assembly and connection technology, antenna-in-package concepts for GHz applications and other similar applications.
- the present invention relates to glass wafers comprising at least one opening.
- Glass wafers used as interposers and/or suitable for similar applications for example as MEMS or as glass cores for packaging applications, have at least one opening, preferably several, and are usually metallized.
- glass wafers For example, it is known to produce such glass wafers by carrying out laser treatment and then carrying out an etching step. In this way, glass wafers can be obtained which include defined openings. Areas of application include, for example, the industrial production of semiconductors.
- a glass wafer is generally understood to mean a disk-shaped glass, which can, for example, be round, elliptical or generally rectangular.
- the term glass wafer also includes glass panels or glass panes.
- a glass wafer must therefore be optimized from the following aspects:
- - Metallization for example metallic electrodes, must adhere optimally to the surface of the glass, especially within the opening of the glass wafer,
- the glass wafer is mechanically stable during the production and use of the semiconductor, in particular that it has good mechanical strength.
- Glass wafers can generally be made more mechanically stable using various processes.

- the at least one opening has a maximum lateral dimension, in particular a diameter, of at most 400 pm, preferably at most 300 pm and particularly preferably at most 200 pm.
- Preferably the maximum lateral boundary is at least 10 pm.
- the glass wafer has a thickness of at least 10 pm.
- the thickness of the wafer is advantageously limited and amounts to a maximum of 5 mm.
- Preferred lower limits for the thickness of the wafer are at least 30 pm, for example 50 pm or 100 pm.
- Preferred upper limits can be 3 mm or 1.5 mm or even just 1 mm.
- the thickness of the glass wafer and the maximum lateral dimension are in a ratio to one another in order to achieve advantageous strengths of the glass wafer.
- This aspect ratio of the maximum lateral dimension of the opening (for example diameter of the opening) to the thickness of the glass wafer is preferably at least 1:100.
- the leaching depth of metal ions is in the surface of the at least one opening at least by a factor of 1.1 greater than the leaching depth on the two side surfaces, preferably by a factor of 1.5 greater, particularly preferably by a factor of 2 greater, more preferably by a factor of 5 greater and most preferably by a factor of 10 greater, wherein preferably the leaching depth is at most 15 times greater than on the two side surfaces, which is preferably determined by means of a ToF-SIMS measurement.
- the glass substrate comprises a glass comprising from 30% by weight to 75% by weight of SiO2, preferably up to 65% by weight of SiO2.
- the glass wafer is generally designed to include a glass substrate.
- a glass substrate is understood to mean a shaped body made of glass which, in addition to the shaping, such as cutting, has not yet undergone any finishing and/or further processing steps, such as a coating.
- the wafer can therefore generally be understood as a refined substrate.
- the sides and surfaces of a substrate and a wafer correspond within the scope of the present disclosure. If one speaks of a side surface of the glass wafer or an edge surface of the wafer, this also corresponds to the side surface or the edge surface of the glass substrate.
- the glass wafer or the glass substrate is generally disk-shaped or plate-shaped.
- the thickness of the glass wafer or substrate is therefore its smallest lateral dimension, in particular less than its length and width or, in the case of a round wafer/substrate, than its diameter.
- the glass wafer has at least one opening, which has a maximum lateral dimension of at most 400 pm, preferably at most 300 pm and particularly preferably at most 200 pm, and can also be made significantly smaller depending on the exact design.
- the opening can also generally be referred to as a “via”.
- the glass which is comprised of the glass substrate and accordingly of the glass wafer is not a single-component glass and accordingly comprises, in addition to a network former, generally metal oxides in particular.

- This surprising design of the glass wafer according to embodiments is very advantageous because it has been shown that the properties of the glass wafer can be improved in a decisive way in this way. In particular, it is This design makes it surprisingly possible to improve the mechanical strength of the glass wafer, thus increasing handling and service life.
- the leaching in the side surfaces differs from the leaching in the surface of the at least one opening.
- the leaching depth in the implementation is at least a factor of 1.1 greater than the leaching depth on the two side surfaces, preferably a factor of 1.5 greater, particularly preferably a factor of 2 greater, more preferably a factor of 2 5 larger and most preferably by a factor of 10 larger, with the leaching depth preferably being at most 15 times larger than on the two side surfaces of the wafer.
- the reasons for this are not fully understood. However, the inventors assume that it is due to the special way in which the etching is carried out, so that different concentration gradients within the narrow opening lead to the formation of this strong leaching compared to the leaching on the surface of the wafer.
- the leaching depth and its different formation on the side surfaces of the wafer compared to the surface of the opening can be determined in particular using ToF-SIMS measurement.
- the exchange of glasses that contain ions of alkaline earth metals as an alternative or in addition to alkali ions could also show a corresponding leaching pattern.
- the glass substrate comprises a glass comprising from 30 wt.% to 85 wt.% SiO 2.

- the roughness is at most 1 nm or even less.
- the glasses listed below are particularly suitable for the manufacturing process with laser irradiation, formation, filamentary damage and subsequent etching with merging of widening channels along the filamentary damage.
- the composition comprises the following components in weight percent on an oxide basis:
- a further advantageous embodiment comprises wt.% on an oxide basis:
- a still further advantageous embodiment comprises wt.% on an oxide basis:
- a still further advantageous embodiment comprises wt.% based on oxide:
- Another advantageous embodiment also includes wt.% based on oxide:
- coloring oxides can optionally be added, such as Nd2Ü3, Fe2Ü3, CoO, NiO, V2O5, MnO2, CuO, Cr2Ü3. 0 - 2% by weight of AS2O3, Sb2Ü3, SnÜ2, SO3, Cl, F and/or CeÜ2 can be added as refining agents, and the total amount of the total composition is 100% by weight.

- Advantageous contents of K2O for all embodiments are from 0 to 8% by weight, in particular from 0 to 3% by weight.
- the glasses mentioned here are particularly advantageous if they are free of Li2O. Unavoidable impurities, which can usually be in the range of up to 5 ppm, can of course also be present.
- the wafer according to embodiments of the present disclosure is particularly well suited for connection technology, in particular for providing very high data rates. For this purpose, rather small vias are necessary.
- the selective leaching of metal ions, in particular alkali ions allows metallizations to adhere particularly well to the wafer, especially in the area of the via or the through-opening itself.
- Metallizations for example comprising or made of Ni, Cr, Ti, Pd, which can also act as adhesion promoters between the glass substrate or wafer and further layers, for example further metal layers, can be applied, for example, electroless plating or galvanically.
- the metallization comprises copper, silver, gold or aluminum.
- the layer comprising copper can be applied directly to the glass wafer or to an adhesion-promoting layer, for example comprising or made of Ni, Cr, Ti, Pd, which is applied between the glass wafer and the layer comprising copper.
- the metallization can consist predominantly, i.e. more than 50% by weight, or essentially, i.e. more than 90% by weight, or entirely of copper.
- the excellent adhesion of metallizations can be demonstrated, for example, by means of a scratch test on the surface of a metallized wafer, as will be explained in more detail below.
- Another method is the “test test”, in which an adhesive strip is stuck to the sample and the force is measured to remove the adhesive strip and the coating.
- the invention also relates to a method.
- the method for producing a glass wafer comprising a glass substrate comprising at least one opening, having two opposite side surfaces and a circumferential edge surface, in particular of a glass wafer according to a Embodiment according to the present disclosure comprises the steps:
- the disk-shaped glass substrate at least in the region in which filament-shaped damages are formed in the disk-shaped glass substrate in a liquid etching medium, wherein the filament-shaped damages are widened to form channels, wherein the liquid etching medium is or comprises a lye, preferably a potassium-containing lye.
- the etching treatment with an alkali seems to lead to fewer metal ions overall, in particular fewer alkalis and/or alkaline earths, being leached from the glass network. This appears to result in better adhesion of the metallization to the glass. The inventors suspect that this is because a diffusion process occurs from the glass into the metallization.
- the leaching depth in the opening is higher than the leaching depth on the surface.
- Etching with a potassium-containing lye appears to be particularly advantageous here. This produces a particularly advantageous leaching profile, which can prove advantageous in subsequent processing steps when producing an interposer. In particular, better adhesion of the metallization to the etched glass surface is worth mentioning here.
- the etching can be carried out at a temperature of at least 110°C, for example at 115°C or 120°C, i.e. with an etching medium which has a temperature of at least 110°C, preferably at least 115°C, preferably of at most 150°C.
- the glassy material of the disk-shaped glass substrate is removed at a removal rate of less than 5 pm per hour.
- the etching time is at least 12 hours. Even a slower or longer etching can lead to an advantageous increase in the mechanical stability of the resulting glass wafer.
- the number of pulses of a burst for inducing filamentous damage is at least 2 or at most 7.
- filament-shaped damage with only one laser pulse and not in the form of a pulse packet.
- the pulse duration of the laser is in the range from 0.5 ps to 2 ps.
- at least one surface is mechanically polished. This is particularly advantageous for setting a low roughness and can also contribute to a further increase in the mechanical strength of the glass wafer. The polishing is particularly preferably carried out after etching has taken place.
- FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a glass wafer according to an embodiment
- FIG. 2 shows a sectional view of a glass wafer according to an embodiment
- Fig. 3 is a schematic representation of the method for producing one
- Fig. 16 to 17 Representations of scratch marks on metallized glass wafers.
- Fig. 1 shows a schematic and not to scale perspective view of a glass wafer 1 according to an embodiment.
- the glass wafer 1 comprises a glass substrate (not designated here) comprising at least one opening 7, which can also be referred to as a “via” in the context of the present disclosure.
- the glass substrate or, accordingly, the glass wafer 1 comprises two mutually opposite side surfaces 3, 5.
- the glass wafer 1 or, in a corresponding manner, the glass substrate comprises a glass comprising at least one network former, preferably SiO2 and at least one metal oxide.
- the glass is therefore designed as a multi-component glass, which has significant advantages over, for example, pure quartz glass. In particular, the glass is therefore accessible to a manufacturing and shaping process in a usual melting process.
- Fig. 2 shows a sectional view of a glass wafer 1 according to one embodiment. Shown in section here are two openings 7, which are visible on the respective sides 3, 5 of the glass wafer 1 as holes 71, 72. Also shown is the depletion zone 9 caused by the etching process. This is divided into two areas, namely the area 91 formed on the two side surfaces 3, 5 of the glass wafer 1 with only a small depletion depth or leaching depth and the area 92 formed in the opening 7 with a significantly greater leaching depth.
- the leaching depth is, in particular for metal ions in the region of the opening 7, at least 1.1 times greater than the leaching depth on the two side surfaces, preferably 1.5 times greater, particularly preferably 2 times greater, more preferably 5 times greater and most preferably 10 times greater, with the leaching depth preferably being 15 times greater than on the two side surfaces 3, 5 of the glass wafer 1. This can preferably be determined in a ToF-SIMS measurement.
- Fig. 3 shows, in a schematic and not true-to-scale representation, an example of a method for producing a glass wafer 1, not shown here a glass substrate 2 provided.
- the sides 3, 5 of the glass substrate 2 correspond to the sides of the later glass wafer 1.
- a laser beam 13 is generated, which is directed onto the glass substrate 2.
- the focusing optics 15 forms an elongated focus 17 in the disk-shaped glass substrate 2, so that the irradiated energy of the laser beam 13 creates a filament-shaped damage 19 in the volume of the disk-shaped glass substrate 2, the longitudinal direction of which is perpendicular to the surface of the glass substrate 2 or to at least one of the two side surfaces 3, 5 of the glass substrate 2.
- Fig. 4 shows a representation of the strength of glass wafers depending on the etching medium used or of glass substrates that have undergone a different pretreatment. All measurement data were obtained without openings being made in the wafers or substrates in question. As is usual when representing the strength of brittle material, the points are shown in a double-logarithmic Weibull diagram. This also applies to Fig. 5.
- the measurement points a) are breakage probabilities of glass substrates that have not been etched or otherwise pretreated, and thus represent the reference in terms of the breakage probability.
- the points b) black filled triangles) represent breakage probabilities determined for glass wafers that have been etched using KOH.
- the points c) (open square standing on its tip) are breakage probabilities for wafers that have been etched using HF.
- the points d) (square with an inscribed cross) show breakage probabilities for a polished wafer.
- temperatures of the etching bath i.e. the lye used, for example a lye containing KOH
- temperatures of the etching bath are set at at least 110°C, preferably at least 115°C, for example 120°C.
- the probability of a glass breaking can be significantly influenced by the choice of etching medium and also by its temperature. This can also be shown for the structured substrate, i.e. the resulting glass wafer.
- Fig. 5 shows the breakage probabilities as a function of the stress acting on a wafer for two different types of wafers.
- a) open circles
- the data of breakage probabilities for a glass wafer are shown here, which was obtained on a 1 mm thick wafer with openings with a diameter of 50 pm. The etching was done using HF.
- points b) open-ended, unfilled triangle
- breakage probabilities for a 1 mm thick wafer that was etched with KOH and in which the openings have a diameter of 10 pm.
- the characteristic value and the Weibull modulus are the two parameters of a Weibull distribution.
- the strengths of brittle materials are usually described by Weibull distributions.
- the characteristic strength is then one of the two parameters that define the distribution.
- the data for the characteristic strength and for the Weibull modulus depend on the etching process.
- glass wafers etched using a base, in this case KOH have a higher strength.
- samples etched using HF have a significantly increased leaching and depletion of metal ions, in particular alkali metal ions, such as sodium and potassium ions, relative to etching using an alkali such as KOH.
- etching Every etching process also intrinsically leads to leaching and a depletion of metal ions, for example sodium ions, but the exact formation of this depletion zone seems to be critical, especially for structured substrates or wafers that include openings. The inventors suspect that this could be related to the laser structuring process, because the laser treatment initially induces microcracks in the substrate/wafer.
- etching initially has a rather advantageous effect, because the etching and the associated material removal initially eliminate such microcracks and initially prevent further crack propagation.
- HF or acid etching obviously leads to a significantly greater depletion of metal ions, which somewhat reduces this positive effect.
- Alkaline etching has advantages here because metal ions, especially sodium, are not leached to such an extent, which helps minimize crack propagation.
- Fig. 12 to 17 illustrate the difference between glass wafers of the prior art and those glass wafers according to embodiments of the present disclosure.
- the glass wafers have been metallized in each case because this is the most obvious way to show the difference in the glass wafers and the type of pretreatment and this corresponds to the application.
- the metallized glass wafers are, for example, glass wafers which were obtained using a method according to the prior art, here etching with HF, and according to the statements of the present disclosure.
- Metallization was carried out at 100°C, with an adhesion-promoting layer, one of chrome and one of titanium, being applied first, and then a copper metallization. The From the point of separation the temperature was 1OO°C.
- Adhesion strength can generally be improved at a higher deposition temperature, so that the beneficial effect of etching is preferred at this lower temperature. In general, deposition temperatures for metallization of up to 400°C or more are possible.
- Fig. 12 and 13 show the ToF-SIMS profiles of wafers metallized at 100°C with chromium as an adhesion-promoting layer between glass and copper.
- the level of sodium (Fig. 12) and potassium (Fig. 13) in the glass, i.e. in the bulk area of the metallized glass wafer is identical in each case. However, there are differences in the content of sodium and potassium (each shown by the signal of the singly positively charged ions of sodium and potassium).
- the level of sodium and potassium is higher in the area of copper metallization after etching with KOH than after etching with HF.
- Figures 16 and 17 show scratch marks on differently etched glass wafers, which were then metallized. Titanium was used as the adhesion-promoting layer.
- the scratch resistance of the metallization is generally determined by the Knoop scratch test, which is a standard procedure for determining the scratch resistance and at the same time the adhesion strength of metallization in the coating and metallization industry.
- Knoop scratch test a standard procedure for determining the scratch resistance and at the same time the adhesion strength of metallization in the coating and metallization industry.
- Such a test consists of applying a diamond tip to the surface of the coating to be tested and moving this tip along a distance at a constant speed.
- the force acting on the tip can be constant or can be continuously increased along the test section. For the samples shown in Figures 16 and 17, the force was continuously increased along a test section.
- the corresponding forces are shown in the respective figures.
- the load at which the layer fails is noted. A failure of the layer is that the first cracks appear in the layer next to the scratch mark itself, which can then often lead to shelling or flaking.
- the load at which failure due to crack formation occurs is determined by visual inspection under a microscope.
- Fig. 16 shows a metallization in which the glass wafer was etched using KOH. A titanium layer was then applied to promote adhesion, followed by a copper layer. The temperature during metallization was 100°C because, as already explained above, this is the more critical case.
- FIG. 16 shows:
- FIG. 17 shows the scratch trace for a metallized glass wafer, which was metallized like the glass wafer in Fig. 16, but the etching of the glass wafer was done using HF.
- Fig. 17 shows:
- the adhesion of metallizations is better for glass wafers etched by means of a basic etch according to embodiments.
