Description of the invention (f) The present invention relates to a chip structure with an outer layer connection on a protective layer and a process for the same, and in particular to a chip for integrated circuits, plus A thick wire layer is connected to the outer layer to improve the chip structure which reduces the parasitic capacitance and resistance of the interconnections in the chip and improves the performance of the integrated circuit. At present, the trend of the development of integrated circuit components is all in the direction of high accumulation, high density, small size, and multi-function.

In order to avoid damage to the components 104 by electrostatic discharge, the most common practice is to benefit the internal circuit. (Internal Circuit) A chip-embedded electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection circuit 106 is designed to isolate its internal circuit. A build-up layer 108 is formed on the substrate 102. The build-up layer 108 has a plurality of metal interconnects 110, and the metal interconnects 110 are electrically connected to the component 104 and the electrostatic discharge protection circuit 106, respectively. In addition, a protective layer 114 is further deposited on the build-up layer 108, and the protective layer 114 has a plurality of pads 112, which can be electrically connected to an external circuit (not shown).

Description of the invention (2) Therefore, the problem of resistance-capacitance delay or noise is also generated, which significantly reduces the performance of the chip. And in the manufacturing process of the metal interconnects 110 in the build-up layer 108, it is difficult to use copper to make the metal interconnects π 0, and the inscription is used instead of '. However, the conductivity of aluminum is not as good as that of copper. And because the line width of the metal interconnect 110 is very thin and the thickness is very thin ‘it requires highly accurate equipment and production’, so the cost will increase significantly. Furthermore, in the above-mentioned wafer structure, 'because the thickness and line width of the metal interconnects Π0 are very small, one metal interconnect 110 can only be electrically connected to a few components 104, and each metal interconnect 110 Each is connected with an electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection circuit 106 ′ to prevent the components 104 connected to each of the metal interconnects 110 from being damaged by a sudden high-voltage discharge. However, in the above-mentioned wafer structure, 'a lot of metal interconnects are needed, so many electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection circuits 206 must be configured. This will not only increase the load of the wafer, but also increase the complexity of wafer fabrication. . Therefore, one object of the present invention is to provide a chip structure with an outer layer connection on a protective layer and a process for the same. By thickening the thickness of the outer layer connection, the voltage drop of long distance current transmission can be reduced, and the resistance and capacitance delay can be reduced Effect. Another object of the present invention is to provide a wafer structure with an outer layer connection on a protective layer and a manufacturing process thereof, which can use low-precision equipment for production, thereby reducing manufacturing costs. The third object of the present invention is to provide a wafer structure with an outer layer connection on a protective layer and a manufacturing process thereof. Only a few electrostatic discharge protection circuits need to be configured. This can reduce the load on the wafer and simplify the fabrication of the wafer.

Description of the invention (>) Miscellaneous. Before describing the present invention, the use of spatial prepositions is defined. The so-called spatial preposition "up" refers to whether the spatial relationship between the two objects is accessible or inaccessible. For example, the A object is on the B object. What it means is that object A can be directly disposed on object B, and object A is in contact with object B; or in the space where object A is disposed on object B, object A is not in contact with object B. According to the invention For the above and other purposes, a chip structure with an outer layer connection on a protective layer can be proposed, which can perform a wiring process 'the chip structure can be electrically connected to an external circuit through multiple wires', and the chip structure includes a chip and a Thick wire layer. The chip has an active surface, and the wafer also has a protective layer and a plurality of pads.

According to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, The material of the layer can be chromium, titanium or titanium tungsten alloy, and the material of the conductive layer can be copper to prevent diffusion. The material of can be nickel, and the material of the bonding layer can be gold. In addition, the dielectric material can be polyimide or phenylcyclobutene. In addition, the outer layer connection can be directly attached to the active surface, or it can be A dielectric material is also sandwiched between the outer layer connection and the active surface. In the above chip structure, the current is conducted by thickening the outer layer connection, which can not only reduce the voltage drop of long-distance current transmission, but also reduce the resistance and capacitance time. Delay effect, and improve the efficiency of the chip 'and can carry a relatively large power / ground current. In addition, because the precision requirements of the thick wire process is not high, you can use lower accuracy equipment to engage in production' to reduce manufacturing costs. And because the conductive material of the outer layer connection can be copper, the conductivity of the outer layer connection can be greatly improved. Moreover, because the outer layer connections are very thick, one outer layer connection can connect more components, so only a few outer layer connections can connect all components in the chip, and each outer layer connection is connected to static electricity. The discharge (ESD) protection circuit can prevent the components 204 connected to each outer layer wire from being damaged by a sudden high voltage discharge. And because the invention only requires a few outer layers, only a few electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection circuits need to be configured.

導電材質可包括銅、金、鋁、鎳、鎢等,由於此製作厚導 線層的精度(約數十微米)並不如半導體前段製程(小於一微 米)之精密,因此可使用低成本之製程,姐電鍍、無電電 鍍之方式形成,亦可使用濺渡(sputtering)的方式。 由於上述之厚導線製程所要求的精度不高,因此可 使用較低價格之製程設備的運用,在較低等級之無塵室即 可完成此厚導線之製程,而降低生產成本。並且上述之厚 導線製程可以利用電鍍、無電電鑛、濺鍍等方式,覆蓋上 以銅爲導電材質的外層連線210,如此相較於鋁,導電性 增加許多。並且外層連線210的厚度甚厚,因此具有低電 阻阻抗、低電阻-電容遲緩的特性,故雜訊較少出現,亦 可承載較大的電源/接地電流。 本纸張尺度適用中國國家標準(CNS)Al規格(210 x 297公楚) ----------I —A_w^ - — — — III — ^---I-----

Description of the invention (7) All components 204 and electrostatic discharge protection circuit 206. As the dielectric material 218 of the thick wire layer 216, a polyimide HD2732 produced by Hitachi-Dupont can be used. Or HD2734, Benzocyclobutene (BCB), porous dielectric materials or elastomers can also be used. Polyimide can be formed by screen printing or spin coating curing After the spin coating, the polyimide needs to be cured in a vacuum environment or in a nitrogen environment. The temperature is maintained between 250 and 400 degrees, and the time required is about 0.5 to 1.5 hours. For thicker polyimide structure, it can be formed by multi-layer spin coating. The outer layer connection 210 is staggered between dielectric materials 218, and the outer layer connection 210 is defined by lithography and etching. The conductive material of the outer layer connection 210 may include copper, gold, aluminum, nickel, tungsten, etc., because the precision of making a thick wire layer (about tens of microns) is not as precise as that of the previous semiconductor manufacturing process (less than one micron), it can Use low-cost process, formed by electroplating, electroless plating, or sputtering. Because the precision required for the thick wire process mentioned above is not high, the use of lower-priced process equipment can be used. In the lower-level clean room, the production process of this thick wire can be completed, and the production cost is reduced. And the above-mentioned thick wire process can be covered with copper as the conductive material by electroplating, electroless mining, sputtering, etc. The outer layer connection 210 has a much higher electrical conductivity than aluminum. The outer layer connection 210 is very thick, so it has low resistance and low resistance-capacitance. Characteristics, so less noise, can also carry a large power / ground current.

Such a circuit design is, for example, a power bus or a ground bus, and the power bus and the ground bus are in a flat form, for example. Therefore, the electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection circuit 206 can prevent the human body or other charged objects from contacting the wafer 230 from discharging to the wafer, thereby damaging the internal circuits of the component 204 and causing the wafer 230 to fail. However, since the outer layer connection 210 is very thick, one outer layer connection 210 can connect more elements, so that only a few outer layer connections 210 can connect all components in the chip, and each ^ outer layer The wiring 210 is connected with an electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection circuit, so that the component 204 connected to each outer wiring 210 can be prevented from being damaged by a sudden high voltage discharge. And because the present invention only needs a few outer layer wirings 210, only a few electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection circuits 206 need to be configured. In this way, the load of the wafer can be reduced to improve the performance of the wafer, and the complexity of wafer fabrication can be simplified.
