Description of the invention () Inventive jaw field The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a semiconductor circuit, and more particularly to a method for manufacturing a pad protection layer. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION As semiconductor process technology enters the field of deep .Micron, due to the reduction in size, many problems that have not been considered have gradually become apparent. Among them, the quality of the connection interface between the bonding pad and the bonding wire has a considerable influence on the reliability of the manufactured components. 'When the component size is getting smaller and smaller' the area where the pad is connected to the wire is gradually shrinking, so the pad needs to bear greater stress during wire bonding, and the adhesion between the dance ball and the wire (adherence ) Is also reduced. Printed by the Consumers' Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs ij 1 n--I u «tn nm 1 -IIT (f read the precautions on the back before filling in this page) For example, a protective layer covering a quiet area (Passivation Layer) The height will be higher ', so the die under the bonding pad will often have cracks when wire bonding. If polyimide or BCB (henzos Lyclohutene) polymer is used to make the protective layer around the pad relatively flat, although the above problems can be solved, the reliability of the packaged product will be reduced. The purpose of the invention and the main purpose of the present invention is therefore to provide a method for manufacturing a solder pad protective layer, which can flatten the protective layer around the solder pad and increase the subsequent tin.

Reliability of the process () Process reliability = This method includes sequentially forming a first silicon oxide layer, a silicon nitride layer and A second silicon oxide layer is on the substrate and covers the static pad. Then the first oxide sand layer is planarized until the nitride cut layer. Then an opening is formed in the silicon nitride layer and the first silicon oxide layer to expose the silicon oxide layer. According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the method for forming the first silicon oxide layer described above may be, for example, a high-density plasma chemical vapor deposition method, and the method for forming the silicon nitride layer may be a low pressure method. In the chemical vapor deposition method, the formation method of the second silicon oxide layer may be, for example, a plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition method, and the thicknesses of the first silicon oxide layer, the silicon nitride layer, and the second silicon oxide layer may be respectively 1K-10K angstrom, 1K-10K angstrom and 1K-20K angstrom. In addition, the planarization method of the second silicon oxide layer can be performed by, for example, chemical mechanical honing. The present invention uses the second silicon oxide layer as a pad protection layer. For the purpose of planarization, this not only solves the problem of cracks in the crystal during wire bonding, but also greatly improves the reliability of the packaged product. The brief description of the drawings is to allow the above and other objects, features, and advantages of the present invention to It is more obvious and easy to understand. A preferred embodiment is described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, and described in detail as follows: Figures 1A-1D A pad protection according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention __3_______ This paper size is applicable China National Standards (CNS) A4 (210X297 mm) (Please read the precautions on the back before filling out this page) Order the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs to print 463343 A7 B7 V.

Referring to FIG. 1A, a pad 110 is formed on a substrate 100. The material may be, for example, an aluminum-copper alloy. Then, a first silicon oxide layer 120, a silicon nitride layer 130, and a second silicon oxide layer 14 are sequentially formed on the substrate 100. The thicknesses can be, for example, IK-10K angstrom, IK-10K angstrom, and 1K-20K. Aye. The formation methods of the first silicon oxide layer 120, the silicon nitride layer 130, and the second silicon oxide layer Mo can be, for example, high-density plasma chemical vapor deposition (High-Density Plasma Chemical Vapor Deposition; HDP CVD), Low Pressure Chemical Vapor Deposition (Low Pressure CVD) and Electricity Fees The paper size is common to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 (210X297 mm) 4633 4 3 A7 B7 Printed by the Consumer Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION () Plasma Enhance CVD. Please refer to FIG. 1B, and then use the silicon nitride layer 130 as a planarization end point to perform a planarization step on the second silicon oxide layer 140 to become The second silicon oxide layer 140a is flat at least on the surface of the protective layer around the bonding pad 110. The aforementioned planarization method can be, for example, chemical mechanical polishing (CMP). If CMP is used here, The planarization method can even achieve the effect of wafer planarization. Please refer to FIG. 1C, and then perform a lithography etching process to form the silicon nitride layer 130 and the first silicon oxide layer 120. The opening 150 exposes the surface of the solder pad Π0. At the same time, the nitrided sand layer 130 and the first oxidized sand layer 120 are transformed into the nitrided sand layer 130a and the first oxidized sand layer 120a, respectively. Please refer to FIG. ID, and then deposit tin on the substrate 100 Under Bump Metallurgy (UBM) 160, and then defected into Solder Bump Π0 above the opening ISO. Finally, the under metal ball 160 is not etched and is not covered by the solder ball 〇7 to complete the tin. The ball process. Because it is conventional to use polyurethane or BCB polymer to form a flat cover to cover the pads, but because polyimide or BCB polymer is an organic material, it is used for subsequent solder balls. The deposition of the metal layer and the corrosion resistance of the tapeworm are not enough to reduce the reliability of the packaged product. However, in the present invention, 'silicon oxide of inorganic material is used instead of polyimide or BCB polymer of organic material, so that The anti-corrosive force of the surface of the protective layer is high, and the anti-corrosive force for the subsequent deposition and etching of the complex metal layer under the solder ball will follow the Chinese paper standard (CNS) A4C (210X297 mm) according to the private paper scale. _n- HI I -II —I.

The description of the invention () has been improved. In addition, the chemical mechanical honing method is used to planarize the uppermost silicon oxide layer 'to achieve a comprehensive planarization effect, which minimizes the possibility of cracks on the crystal surface during wire bonding. The inventor performed a die shear test on a package product with no flattened surface of the protective layer, and found that the cracks were mainly from the silicon nitride layer around the pad to the die below the pad. The possible reason is that the shear stress will be concentrated on the surface of the protective layer around the pad, and the silicon nitride layer is brittle. If the surface of the protective layer is flattened and the crystal shear stress test is performed, there is no problem of step high when the metal layer is deposited under the deposited solder balls, and a better pad height can be obtained. (bump height) and aspect ratio make the deposition of the metal layer under the solder ball easier. Such a structure allows the solder ball to withstand higher stress, and the final fracture surface occurs on the cross section of the solder ball. It is proved that the flattened protective layer can disperse the stress and avoid cracks on the crystal below the solder pad. It can be known from the above-mentioned preferred embodiments of the present invention that the application of the present invention can not only disperse the stress applied to the crystal cubes under the bonding pads during wire bonding, but also increase the chemical resistance of the corrosion resistance of the solder coating to the package, which greatly improves the reliability of the packaged product.
