For example, in the body stone eve technology, deep stone eve through hole (Thr〇ugh_SiUc〇n_Via, tsv) The depth reaches several hundred micrometers, and its aspect ratio is much larger than 1 〇. The deep reactive ion etching method is usually used to etch the body 。. Figure 1 shows a schematic diagram of the prior art deep reactive ion characterization method. The deep reactive ion engraving of TSV is usually carried out by the Bosch process proposed in US Pat. No. 55_3. As shown in Fig. i, wherein 12 is _石夕, 11 is the mask layer '13 is a polymer layer; the mask layer 11 is usually Si〇2 or Si is isolated, mainly in the etching process as a mask. The specific deep reactive ion etching method includes the following steps: (1) Cong step, usually using a mixture of Ar, (3), SFe for plasma engraving; (2) In the polymer deposition step, a fluorocarbon polymer layer is usually formed on the inner side of the hole by a mixed gas of red and C4Fs, and the thickness thereof is generally on the order of nanometers, sometimes referred to as the layer of the polymer layer, so that the bottom of the hole is substantially not form Carbon polymer layer, generally lower relative RF (Radio Frequency) frequency is used in this step; (3) engraving step and polymer deposition step (4) are carried out 'until through hole_complete, in difficult step, 201225176 due to hole The inner surface, especially the inner side of the hole, deposits the polymer, and the vertical isolated ^• The 'implanted ions will not cause damage to the side of the polymer, and the X will be protected. Destroying the polymer at the bottom of the hole allows the reaction to continue downwards, thus ensuring the anisotropy of the entire hole, especially during the compassion process.

Therefore, through the above-mentioned deep reaction ion engraving job TSV, with the degree of engraving can reach 5 or more), side The straightness range is within 9 (four) degrees, and the undereut between the mask layer and the hole is smaller than the characteristic of Q.丨_. near. In order to prevent the pedestal riding degree from being too large, the next step (such as conductor deposition) is difficult. Therefore, the traditional BQSch process is used for the engraving method. The addition of a small amount of oxygen in the engraving step cannot form a sufficient protective layer on the side wall. The steps will be protected by the polymer in the step of forming a pit, and the next step of polymer deposition, and each cycle of alternating rhyme and deposition steps will form a pit on the sidewall, and a plurality of such pits are formed. The fan-shaped side wall reduces the smoothness of the sidewall of the through hole. Since the stalks are isotropic, each step will form a pit in the instrument, and the depth will be close to the depth to the downside. In order to prevent the side 劈 ω pull the acne 通 ϋ, π..

The etching shape at the upper end of the etching opening cannot be guaranteed. In order to solve the long-term engraving of the polymer Problems that are easily destroyed in the etch The prior art proposes some solutions, which are carried out after the etching is carried out for a certain period of time - an external polymer deposition step to enhance the protection of the sidewalls. The polymer of the sidewall is oxidized by a large amount of ruthenium 2, and the trench or via sidewall formed by the rhyme is exposed to (10) crystallized and oxidized to form SiG2. However, the process of decomposing the polymer and forming the side care is not only The time is long and the conditions for oxidizing the hedgehog are not easy to control. The oxygen reacts rapidly with the sidewalls and the bottom of the stone, in addition to forming a plasma, it needs extra Wires such as ultraviolet (uv) irradiation or heating to make oxygen more active. Because of the need to diffuse oxygen atoms into the crystal paste to form oxidized oxides, even if an oxidized Wei sheath is formed, the thickness is not easily controlled, and the process is slow. In summary, the prior art requires an effective solution to achieve a balance between the engraving rate and the sufficient surface. This allows the deep hole to be judged in the downward direction of the ship to obtain continuous and effective protection. [Invention] Wei's technology _ is to avoid the problem of low smoothness and low impurity efficiency of the through-hole sidewalls in the process of deep and transparent tunnels. In order to solve the above technical problems, the deep hole method provided by the company is difficult. The meaning cycle, each duty cycle includes a rhyme protection step, characterized in that: the step _ step for the shore · gas to the reaction chamber to be judged, the layer _ layer is formed into the opening side wall protection step supply side wall a shielding gas, wherein the sidewall protective gas 201225176 comprises a cerium-containing gas SiF4 and an oxygen-containing gas reacted and deposited on the sidewalls and the bottom of the opening to form a ruthenium oxide layer. The etching gas includes SiF4 and SF6, NF3 1. The etching gas may also include a small amount of C〇2 or 〇2 to make the sidewalls more vertical and lighter, and the gate can make the silver a greater depth such as 5-10 um when the door is viewed. The engraved gas includes siF4' The etching step increases the gas supply amount of the SiF4 when the sidewall protection step is switched. The Weifang body of the sidewall protection gas jet further includes SiH4, wherein the oxygen-containing gas is oxygen. The technical effect of the etching method of the present invention is that the gas is continuously regulated. SiF4 is supplied in the stage of carving and a large number of Q2 is formed in the side of the stage to form a SiO2 protective layer on the sidewall to better protect the deep hole sidewall formed by the ship. This method is used to realize the smooth + knife change of the step and the side wall protection step. The hemp gas also includes SF6 or NF3 and carbon oxides, so that the i-shaped fan on the side wall is substantially/disappeared, so that the sidewall has good smoothness; at the same time, compared with the prior art, in the process of gradual conversion, the equivalent is still present. Silver effect and polymer deposition effect 'so' can reduce the switching time and improve the efficiency of deep hole filling. [Embodiment] In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more comprehensible, a detailed description of the present embodiment will be made in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Figure 2 shows the plasma etched reaction structure used in the present invention. The plasma reaction chamber includes a pedestal and a lower electrode 33 in which the processing substrate is placed in the upper body 3 of the cavity, and a lower electrode 12, which is used to fix the device 34 to be cured, and the device may be static electricity~ ESC. The electrostatic loss plate is the substrate to be processed, and the periphery of the substrate is also 201225176. The edge ring 36 is included to adjust the electric field and temperature distribution of the edge portion of the substrate. The top of the reaction chamber corresponding to the substrate to be processed 3G includes a gas distribution device 1 〇 = a gas shower head. The gas from the gas supply test 11 () gas is evenly distributed to the surface to be processed plus the surface according to the required rolling mixture ratio and flow rate. Figure 2 shows a typical capacitor-integrated (ccp) plasma reactor: The method of the present invention can also be applied to other structures _ ion reaction chambers, ratio: inductively coupled reaction chamber (ICP). " Called U ^ 丨, 句休W does not praise the substrate knot 4 formed when processing the substrate. Under the patterned mask layer u is a substrate layer 12. As shown in Fig. 3a, in the first step of the hole-hole process, the Wei-to-reaction chamber ignites the gas and ignites the plasma, and engraves her silk layer to form the opening m. The first, f', such as 5-H) Um The spine can be called the financial side county _ class and ❺ °, such as __ added (10), (10) gas _ Wei SlC and SiG2 can thus protect the sidewall from being smaller than the sidewall __ shape. The opening 2q has an opening formed by the bottom surface, and the side wall shown in the _a is vertical. =1 The body of the __ body and other ginseng cakes may also be curved, or may be worms, ^ The compound mentioned in the prior art, or the addition of energy: the amount of sidewall protection gas 峨 = = the prior art has a smoother and more vertical shape.麻起-定 From the new-up, and finally in the shape of 7 201225176 to reduce the curvature of some sidewalls and the undercut of the etch interface. The introduction of gases such as SiF4 and CO2 in the etching allows the formation of vertical sidewalls during the etching process, so that each engraving step can be carried out for a longer period of time, and each etching step can be formed to a depth of 5-10 um. The present invention can be used for etching holes of other shapes in addition to etching holes for vertical sidewalls. As shown in Fig. 3b, after entering the first etching step, a sidewall protection step is carried out, in which a gas containing a gas such as SiH4 or SiF4 is introduced, and an oxygen-containing gas such as 02 is introduced. After the plasma is ignited, a reaction of the helium-containing gas and the oxygen-containing gas forms a layer 31' 32 on the bottom and the side walls of the opening 20, respectively. Since the new & 2 layer of protective layer is formed by the external gas reaction, the newly formed doped protective layer is thick, and the thickness of the protective layer can be obtained by controlling the reaction time. The sidewall protective layer formed by the polymer in the technology is more resistant to ion bombardment in the etching step, and can be kept intact in the depth of the hole. It should be carried out as in the prior art. Employee_polymer__ job adds a step to strengthen the side protection 5 蒦. The thickness of the & 〇2 is selected so as to be able to protect the sidewalls in the entire deep hole, and the ions that are incident at the beginning of each etching are quickly bombarded so that the bottom portion 31 is quickly broken down. Because in the engraved step, there is a training 4 as a residual gas component. When the deposition step of the side protection is made into the source of the SiO2 formation, the gradual and side protection steps can be achieved. The gas supply of SiF4 and oxygen can be reduced at the same time. (10) It can also be mixed with the legs to increase the formation speed of Na and increase the overall impurity rate. 201225176 Figure 3C shows the plasma wire after the second etching step. (4) After the Q2 layer is pushed in. Figure 3d shows the second depth after the in-service to the second depth. The inner wall of the deep hole formed by the protective layer 32 and the bottom side protection step is formed. _ 卩 铋 铋 31 to protect the new job, this fine multiple times, to protect the steps of the (four) cycle until the goal is achieved, complete the entire deep hole _ engraved ^ _ this wealth of the side wall protection steps can be in the whole rhyme The process cap provides more effective side wall protection while reducing the extra health protection steps and speeding up the overall _ saki rate. Since the present invention adopts (4) stronger (four) protection, the steps of the rhyme-rhythm can be continued for a longer period of time without being destroyed, so that each of the rhyme steps of the present invention can be finely 5-1 Gum or even higher. Moreover, the present financing method forms a radiation or heating device for the side wall protective layer, which can easily and effectively form a sidewall protective layer with a controlled thickness. / It can be constructed without much deviation from the spirit and scope of the present invention. It is to be understood that the invention is not limited to the specific embodiments described in the specification, except as defined by the claims.
