Description
本発明は、絶縁膜で覆った銅パッドの拡散工程における、銅配線の形成で反射防止膜あるいはバリア膜等として用いるシールド薄膜を用いて、銅パッドに直接、金属細線を接合できる構造に特徴を有する半導体装置及びその製造方法に関するものである。 The present invention is characterized in that a metal thin wire can be directly bonded to a copper pad using a shield thin film used as an antireflection film or a barrier film in the formation of copper wiring in the diffusion process of the copper pad covered with an insulating film. The present invention relates to a semiconductor device having the same and a manufacturing method thereof.
近年、半導体素子への微細化,高速化の要求に伴い、半導体素子の配線材料として線幅0.13μmを用いるプロセス当たりからアルミニウムと比較して比較的低抵抗であり配線遅延も少なく、さらに、エレクトロマイグレーション耐性が向上できる銅を採用することが多くなっている。しかしながら、銅は容易に酸化し、その表面に非常に硬い酸化銅を生成する。その結果、ワイヤーボンディングの工程において、銅パッドに金ボールを押しつぶしても酸化銅を破壊することはできず銅パッドと金ボールは接合できない。 In recent years, with the demand for miniaturization and high speed of semiconductor elements, the resistance is relatively low compared to aluminum and the wiring delay is small since the process using a line width of 0.13 μm as a wiring material of semiconductor elements. Copper that can improve electromigration resistance is increasingly used. However, copper oxidizes easily and produces very hard copper oxide on its surface. As a result, in the wire bonding process, even if the gold ball is crushed on the copper pad, the copper oxide cannot be destroyed and the copper pad and the gold ball cannot be joined.
そこで従来の拡散工程において、銅配線と銅パッドの形成後に絶縁膜を成膜し、その後、銅パッド上の絶縁膜を除去して清浄化する。さらにその上に、金との接合性に優れた金属膜層のアルミニウムパッドを形成した構造とすることによって、安定した接合を行っている。 Therefore, in the conventional diffusion process, an insulating film is formed after the copper wiring and the copper pad are formed, and then the insulating film on the copper pad is removed and cleaned. Furthermore, stable bonding is performed by forming a structure in which an aluminum pad of a metal film layer excellent in bondability with gold is formed thereon.
また別の方法として、半導体素子の銅パッド(電極)に拡散工程の終了後、組立工程として金スタッドバンプを形成するが、この場合の基板において、銅パッドの表面をプラズマ処理して清浄化かつ活性化し、この銅パッドの表面に金スタッドバンプの接合を行っている。
しかしながら、このような従来の技術では、以下のような課題を有していた。まず、銅パッド上にアルミニウムパッドを形成して接合する手法では、銅パッドの形成後に絶縁膜を全面に形成し、その後、銅パッド上の絶縁膜を除去してアルミニウムパッドを形成後、さらに絶縁膜を形成しなければならず、銅配線形成後の工程数が非常に多い。このため近年の半導体素子微細化に伴って、拡散工程が複雑かつ増大している中で、拡散工程のリードタイムが長くなり、拡散工程のコストも増大することになって、大きな課題となっている。 However, such conventional techniques have the following problems. First, in the technique of forming and bonding an aluminum pad on a copper pad, an insulating film is formed on the entire surface after the formation of the copper pad, and then the insulating film on the copper pad is removed to form an aluminum pad, and further insulation is performed. A film must be formed, and the number of steps after forming the copper wiring is very large. For this reason, with the recent miniaturization of semiconductor elements, the diffusion process has become complicated and increased, so the lead time of the diffusion process has become longer and the cost of the diffusion process has increased, which has become a major issue. Yes.
また、半導体素子の銅パッドに金スタッドバンプを形成する手法では、銅パッド表面をプラズマ処理する工程が必要であり、この処理を行うためのプラズマ装置も必要となる。この手法においても、前述と同様に、組立工程のリードタイムが長くなり、組立コストも増大するという課題がある。 Further, in the method of forming gold stud bumps on the copper pad of the semiconductor element, a step of plasma processing the surface of the copper pad is required, and a plasma apparatus for performing this processing is also required. Also in this method, as described above, there is a problem that the lead time of the assembly process becomes long and the assembly cost increases.
本発明は、前記従来技術の問題を解決することに指向するものであり、拡散工程における、最上層の銅配線で形成した銅パッド上に、銅配線形成において反射防止膜あるいはバリア膜等として用いるチタン(以下、Tiという)、窒化チタン(以下、TiNという)または窒化タンタル(以下、TaNという)のいずれかからなるシールド薄膜を形成することにより、コスト削減及び拡散工程のリードタイムを短縮化し、さらに接合時に金ボールが銅パッド上のシールド薄膜を破って、銅の新生面を露出させて接合して、銅パッドの表面状態による影響が小さく安定した接合ができる半導体装置及びその製造方法を提供することを目的とする。 The present invention is directed to solving the above-described problems of the prior art, and is used as an antireflection film or a barrier film in forming a copper wiring on a copper pad formed by the uppermost copper wiring in a diffusion process. By forming a shield thin film made of either titanium (hereinafter referred to as Ti), titanium nitride (hereinafter referred to as TiN) or tantalum nitride (hereinafter referred to as TaN), cost reduction and lead time of the diffusion process are shortened. Furthermore, a semiconductor device and a method for manufacturing the same are provided, in which a gold ball breaks a shield thin film on a copper pad at the time of bonding, and a new copper surface is exposed and bonded so that the influence of the surface state of the copper pad is small and stable bonding is possible. For the purpose.
前記の目的を達成するために、本発明に係る半導体装置は、基板上に形成した平坦な銅パッドと、基板上の全面に形成した絶縁膜と、銅パッド上で絶縁膜を除去した露出部分のみに形成したチタン(Ti)、窒化チタン(TiN)または窒化タンタル(TaN)のいずれかからなるシールド薄膜とを備えたことを特徴とする。 In order to achieve the above object, a semiconductor device according to the present invention includes a flat copper pad formed on a substrate, an insulating film formed on the entire surface of the substrate, and an exposed portion obtained by removing the insulating film on the copper pad. And a shielding thin film made of any one of titanium (Ti), titanium nitride (TiN), and tantalum nitride (TaN).
また、前記半導体装置の製造方法は、基板上に平坦な銅パッドを形成後、基板上の全面に絶縁膜を形成する工程と、銅パッド上の絶縁膜を除去した露出部分のみにTi、TiNまたはTaNのいずれかからなるシールド薄膜を形成する工程と、ワイヤーボンディングにより銅パッドと金属細線を接合する工程とを有することを特徴とする。 The method for manufacturing a semiconductor device includes a step of forming a flat copper pad on a substrate and then forming an insulating film on the entire surface of the substrate, and Ti and TiN only on an exposed portion where the insulating film on the copper pad is removed. Or a step of forming a shield thin film made of either TaN, and a step of bonding a copper pad and a fine metal wire by wire bonding.
さらに、ワイヤーボンディングにより銅パッドと金属細線を接合する工程において、銅パッドに荷重及び超音波振動を印加することによって、銅パッド上に形成したシールド薄膜を破り、銅パッド表面に銅の新生面を露出して金属細線と接合することを特徴とする。 Furthermore, in the process of bonding the copper pad and the fine metal wire by wire bonding, the shield thin film formed on the copper pad is broken by applying a load and ultrasonic vibration to the copper pad, and the new copper surface is exposed on the surface of the copper pad. Then, it is characterized in that it is bonded to a fine metal wire.
前記構成によれば、従来の絶縁膜削除後の銅パッド上にアルミニウムパッドを形成し、さらに全面に絶縁膜を形成した後でアルミニウムパッド上の絶縁膜を削除する工程を削減し、また銅パッドの表面をプラズマ処理して清浄化かつ活性化する工程を行うことなく、コスト削減及び拡散工程のリードタイムを短縮化して、また、従来のワイヤーボンディングの装置を用いた接合処理ができることから装置に新たな構成変更や追加を一切不要として、さらに銅パッド上のシールド薄膜を破って銅の新生面を露出させ接合するため、銅パッドの表面状態の影響が少なく安定した接合ができる。 According to the above configuration, it is possible to reduce the process of forming the aluminum pad on the copper pad after the conventional insulating film is removed, and further removing the insulating film on the aluminum pad after forming the insulating film on the entire surface. Without the need to clean and activate the surface of plasma by plasma treatment, the cost can be reduced, the lead time of the diffusion process can be shortened, and the bonding process using a conventional wire bonding apparatus can be performed. Since no new configuration change or addition is required and the shield thin film on the copper pad is further broken to expose and expose the new copper surface, the surface condition of the copper pad is not affected and stable bonding can be achieved.
本発明によれば、拡散工程における、最上層の銅配線で形成した銅パッド上に、通常、銅配線形成において反射防止膜あるいはバリア膜等として用いるTi、TiNまたはTaNのいずれかからなるシールド薄膜を形成することにより、従来のアルミニウムパッド等を形成する工程と絶縁膜を形成する工程を削減することができ、これによってコスト削減及び拡散リードタイム短縮を実現できる。更には銅パッド表面を清浄化かつ活性化するプラズマ処理を行うことなく、ワイヤーボンディングの接合時に金ボールが銅パッド上のシールド薄膜を破り銅の新生面を露出させて接合することで、銅パッド表面状態の影響が小さく、相互拡散が十分に進行し安定した接合ができるという効果を奏する。 According to the present invention, a shield thin film made of any one of Ti, TiN or TaN which is usually used as an antireflection film or a barrier film in forming a copper wiring on a copper pad formed by the uppermost copper wiring in the diffusion process. By forming the film, it is possible to reduce a conventional process of forming an aluminum pad and the like and a process of forming an insulating film, thereby realizing cost reduction and diffusion lead time reduction. Furthermore, without performing a plasma treatment that cleans and activates the copper pad surface, the gold ball breaks the shield thin film on the copper pad and bonds the new copper surface exposed during wire bonding. The effect of the state is small, and the interdiffusion is sufficiently advanced and stable bonding can be achieved.

Similarly to the conventional wire bonding, the shield thin film 4 formed on the
本発明に係る半導体装置及びその製造方法は、従来の工程を削減してコスト削減及び拡散工程のリードタイムを短縮化し、また従来のワイヤーボンディングの装置によって接合処理ができるため構成変更や追加を必要とせず、接合時に金ボールが銅パッド上のシールド薄膜を破り銅の新生面を露出させて接合するため、銅パッド表面状態の影響が小さく安定した接合ができ、銅パッドに金属細線を直接接合する構造の半導体装置及びその製造方法として有用である。 The semiconductor device and the manufacturing method thereof according to the present invention reduce the cost of the conventional process, shorten the lead time of the diffusion process, and can perform a bonding process by a conventional wire bonding apparatus, so that a configuration change or addition is necessary. Instead, the gold ball breaks the shield thin film on the copper pad at the time of bonding and exposes the new surface of the copper, so that the effect of the surface state of the copper pad is small and stable bonding is possible, and the fine metal wire is directly bonded to the copper pad. It is useful as a semiconductor device having a structure and a manufacturing method thereof.
