Description

패드를 갖는 반도체소자의 형성방법{Method of semiconductor device having pads}Method of forming a semiconductor device having a pad {Method of semiconductor device having pads}

본 발명은 반도체소자의 형성방법에 관한 것으로, 특히 패드를 갖는 반도체소자의 형성방법에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a method for forming a semiconductor device, and more particularly, to a method for forming a semiconductor device having a pad.

반도체 소자 중 패드(pad)는 반도체 소자의 내부와 외부간의 전기적 신호를 주고 받는 역활을 한다. 즉, 반도체 소자는 패드를 통하여 동작을 위한 동작 전압 및 전기적 신호를 받아들이고, 패드를 통하여 데이타들을 출력시킨다. 패드는 반도체 칩을 형성하는 어셈블리공정(Assembly process)의 와이어 본딩(wire bonding) 공정시, 와이어에 연결되는 부분이다.Among the semiconductor devices, a pad plays a role of transmitting and receiving electrical signals between the inside and the outside of the semiconductor device. That is, the semiconductor device receives an operating voltage and an electrical signal for operation through a pad and outputs data through the pad. The pad is a part connected to the wire during a wire bonding process of an assembly process of forming a semiconductor chip.

한편, 일반적으로, 반도체 소자는 외부의 열악한 환경으로 부터 반도체 소자를 보호하기 위한 이중의 보호막들을 갖는다. 패시베이션막(passivation layer) 및 폴리이미드막(polyimide layer)이 그것이다. 패시베이션막은 습기, 압력등의 외부 환경으로 부터 반도체소자를 보호하기 위한 보호막이며, 폴리이미드막은 고온, 마찰, 방사선 및 화학약품으로 부터 반도체 소자를 보호하기 위한 보호막이다. 상술한 보호막들은 모두 패드를 노출시키는 패터닝 공정을 진행한다.On the other hand, in general, a semiconductor device has double protective films for protecting the semiconductor device from an external harsh environment. Passivation layers and polyimide layers are the same. The passivation film is a protective film for protecting the semiconductor device from external environment such as moisture and pressure, and the polyimide film is a protective film for protecting the semiconductor device from high temperature, friction, radiation and chemicals. All of the above-described passivation layers undergo a patterning process for exposing the pads.

도 1 및 도 2는 종래의 패드를 갖는 반도체 소자의 형성방법을 설명하기 위한 단면도들이다.1 and 2 are cross-sectional views illustrating a method of forming a semiconductor device having a conventional pad.

도 1 및 도 2를 참조하면, 반도체기판(1) 상에 층간절연막(2)을 형성하고, 상기 층간절연막(2) 상에 패드(3, pad)를 형성한다. 상기 패드(3)를 갖는 반도체기판(1) 전면에 패시베이션막(4)을 형성한다. 상기 패시베이션막(4)을 패터닝하여 상기 패드(3)의 소정영역을 노출시키는 패시베이션 콘텍홀(5)을 형성한다. 상기 패시베이션 콘텍홀(5) 내부를 포함하는 반도체기판(1) 전면에 폴리이미드막(6)을 형성하고, 상기 폴리이미드막(6)을 패터닝하여 상기 패시베이션 콘텍홀(5)에 노출되었던 패드(3)를 노출시킨다.1 and 2, an interlayer insulating film 2 is formed on a semiconductor substrate 1, and pads 3 are formed on the interlayer insulating film 2. The passivation film 4 is formed on the entire surface of the semiconductor substrate 1 having the pads 3. The passivation film 4 is patterned to form a passivation contact hole 5 exposing a predetermined region of the pad 3. The polyimide layer 6 is formed on the entire surface of the semiconductor substrate 1 including the inside of the passivation contact hole 5, and the polyimide layer 6 is patterned to expose the pads having been exposed to the passivation contact hole 5. 3) is exposed.

상기 폴리이미드막(6)을 패터닝하는 과정을 간략히 설명하면, 상기 폴리이미드막(6)에 선택적으로 노광공정을 진행한후, 현상공정을 진행한다. 상기 현상공정은 상기 노광된 폴리이미드막(6)과 현상액(develop solution)을 반응시키어 상기 노광된 폴리이미드막(6)을 제거한다. 그 결과, 상기 패드(3)가 노출된다. 이때, 상기 현상액은 금속막으로 형성된 상기 패드(3)를 식각할 수 있다. 이로 인하여, 상기 패드(3)의 두께가 감소하게 된다. 그 결과, 반도체소자를 반도체 칩으로 형성하기 위한 어셈블리공정에서 와이어본딩(wire bonding) 공정시 불량이 발생할 수 있다. 상기 현상액에 의하여 패드가 식각되는 현상은 상기 폴리이미드막(3)의 패터닝시 오정렬이 발생하여 상기 패터닝된 폴리이미드막(3)을 제거하고, 다시 폴리이드막(3)을 형성하는 재작업(rework)시 더욱 심화될 수 있다.The process of patterning the polyimide film 6 is briefly described. After the exposure process is selectively performed on the polyimide film 6, the developing process is performed. The developing process reacts the exposed polyimide film 6 with a developer solution to remove the exposed polyimide film 6. As a result, the pad 3 is exposed. In this case, the developer may etch the pad 3 formed of a metal film. As a result, the thickness of the pad 3 is reduced. As a result, a defect may occur in a wire bonding process in an assembly process for forming a semiconductor device into a semiconductor chip. The phenomenon in which the pads are etched by the developer may cause a misalignment during patterning of the polyimide film 3 to remove the patterned polyimide film 3, and then to form the polyid film 3 again. Can be further deepened during rework.

The method includes preparing a semiconductor substrate having a pad thereon. An etch stop layer is formed on the entire surface of the semiconductor substrate, and a passivation layer is formed on the etch stop layer. The passivation layer is patterned to form a passivation contact hole that exposes a predetermined region of the etch stop layer positioned on the pad.
