Description

用以減少化合物半導體晶圓變形之改良結構
本發明係有關一種用以減少化合物半導體晶圓變形之改良結構,尤指一種用以平衡化合物半導體晶圓應力之改良結構。
在一化合物半導體晶圓上形成積體電路之製程中,或多或少都會在累積應力,使得化合物半導體晶圓承受一應力。在一些狀況下,會使得化合物半導體晶圓承受較大之應力,例如,於化合物半導體晶圓之上形成一應力薄膜,或是於化合物半導體晶圓上成長具應力之磊晶結構。而這應力若無法妥善平衡,則會造成化合物半導體晶圓之弓翹(Bowing)變形,甚至在化合物半導體晶圓之邊緣處造成破碎。此外,在化合物半導體晶圓之薄化製程後,由於化合物半導體晶圓之厚度變薄,因而使得化合物半導體晶圓更無法平衡原先所承受之應力,進而造成化合物半導體晶圓之弓翹變形更為嚴重,或甚至在化合物半導體晶圓之邊緣處造成破碎。
以化合物半導體晶圓之尺寸來說,當化合物半導體晶圓之直徑小於3英吋時,應力造成化合物半導體晶圓之弓翹變形較不明顯。而當化合物半導體晶圓之直徑大於3英吋時,例如4英吋、5英吋、6英吋或更大者, 應力造成化合物半導體晶圓之弓翹變形就非常顯著。
一般而言,由於在化合物半導體晶圓上形成積體電路時,常需要有多層的磊晶結構,也因此,相對於在矽半導體晶圓上形成矽半導體積體電路之製程中,化合物半導體晶圓所承受的應力通常會比矽半導體晶圓所承受之應力相對大許多。在一習知技術中,揭露一改善結構,以平衡矽半導體晶圓所受之應力。請參見第3圖,係為一習知技術之矽半導體晶圓之改良結構之剖面示意圖。一積體電路11係形成於一矽半導體晶圓10之一上表面101。一應力平衡層12係形成於矽半導體晶圓10之一下表面102,以平衡矽半導體晶圓10於形成積體電路11之製程過中所累積之應力。然則習知技術並未揭露如何有效平衡化合物半導體晶圓所受應力之結構(化合物半導體晶圓所受之應力更大於矽半導體晶圓所受之應力)。
此外,若要應用習知技術之矽半導體晶圓之改良結構在化合物半導體晶圓時,當需要在一化合物半導體晶圓之一下表面形成一導電層以作為導電用途時,或是需要在化合物半導體晶圓之下表面形成一金屬層,使得金屬層與化合物半導體晶圓之下表面形成歐姆接觸,而金屬層得以形成一歐姆電極,則因習知技術應力平衡層12係直接形成於晶圓之下表面,而無法達成需求。
有鑑於此,發明人開發出簡便組裝的設計,能夠避免上述的缺點,安裝方便,又具有成本低廉的優點,以兼顧使用彈性與經濟性等考量,因此遂有本發明之產生。
本發明所欲解決之技術問題在於如何於一化合物半導體晶圓之一下表面形成一改良結構,使得改良結構包含至少一應力平衡層以及一金屬層,使得改良結構同時具有應力平衡以及導電之功能。
為解決前述問題,以達到所預期之功效,本發明提供一種用以減少化合物半導體晶圓變形之改良結構,包括:一接觸金屬層、至少一應力平衡層以及一晶粒黏著層。其中接觸金屬層係形成於一化合物半導體晶圓之一下表面。其中至少一應力平衡層係形成於接觸金屬層之一下表面,其中至少一應力平衡層係為至少一導電材料。其中晶粒黏著層係形成於至少一應力平衡層之一下表面,其中晶粒黏著層係為一導電材料。藉由在接觸金屬層以及晶粒黏著層之間插入至少一應力平衡層,藉此平衡化合物半導體晶圓所受之應力,以減少化合物半導體晶圓之變形。由於接觸金屬層、至少一應力平衡層以及晶粒黏著層皆為導電材料,因此本發明之用以減少化合物半導體晶圓變形之改良結構同時具有應力平衡以及導電之功能。
