Description

半導體裝置以及形成用於傳導互連結構之保護和支撐結構之方法
本發明大體上和半導體裝置有關，更明確地說，本發明係關於半導體裝置以及形成用於傳導互連結構之保護和支撐結構之方法。
在現代的電子產品中經常會發現半導體裝置。半導體裝置會有不同數量與密度的電組件。離散式半導體裝置通常含有某一種類型的電組件，舉例來說，發光二極體(Light Emitting Diode，LED)、小訊號電晶體、電阻器、電容器、電感器、以及功率金屬氧化物半導體場效電晶體(Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor，MOSFET)。積體式半導體裝置通常含有數百個至數百萬個電組件。積體式半導體裝置的範例包含微控制器、微處理器、電荷耦合裝置(Charged-Coupled Device，CCD)、太陽能電池、以及數位微鏡裝置(Digital Micro-mirror Device，DMD)。
半導體裝置會實施各式各樣的功能，例如，訊號處理、高速計算、傳送與接收電磁訊號、控制電子裝置、將太陽光轉換成電能、以及產生電視顯示器的視覺投影。在娛樂領域、通訊領域、電力轉換領域、網路領域、電腦領域、以及消費性產品領域中皆會發現半導體裝置。在軍事應用、航空、自動車、工業控制器、以及辦公室設備中同樣會發現半導體裝置。
半導體裝置係利用半導體材料的電氣特性。半導體材料的原子結構會使得可藉由施加電場或基礎電流或是經由摻雜處理來操縱其導電性。摻雜會將雜質引入至該半導體材料之中，以便操縱及控制該半導體裝置的傳導性。
一半導體裝置含有主動式電氣結構與被動式電氣結構。主動式結構(其包含雙極電晶體與場效電晶體)會控制電流的流動。藉由改變摻雜程度以及施加一電場或基礎電流，該電晶體便會提高或限制電流的流動。被動式結構(其包含電阻器、電容器、以及電感器)會創造用以實施各式各樣電氣功能所需要的電壓和電流之間的關係。該等被動式結構與主動式結構會被電連接用以形成能夠讓該半導體裝置實施高速計算以及其它實用功能的電路。
半導體裝置通常會使用兩種複雜的製程來製造，也就是，前端製造以及後端製造，每一者皆可能涉及數百道步驟。前端製造涉及在一半導體晶圓的表面上形成複數個晶粒。每一個半導體晶粒通常為相同並且含有藉由電連接主動式組件和被動式組件而形成的電路。後端製造涉及從已完成的晶圓中單體化裁切個別的半導體晶粒並且封裝該晶粒，用以提供結構性支撐及環境隔離。本文中所使用的「半導體晶粒(semiconductor die)」一詞兼具單數與複數兩種形式，據此，其可能係表示單一半導體裝置與多個半導體裝置兩者。
半導體製造的其中一個目標係生產較小型的半導體裝置。較小型的裝置通常會消耗較少的電力，具有較高的效 能，並且能夠被更有效地生產。此外，較小型的半導體裝置還具有較小的覆蓋範圍，這係較小型末端產品所需要的。藉由改善前端製程可以達成較小的半導體晶粒尺寸，從而導致具有較小尺寸以及較高密度之主動式組件和被動式組件的半導體晶粒。後端製程則可以藉由改善電互連材料及封裝材料而導致具有較小覆蓋範圍的半導體裝置封裝。
一習知的半導體裝置可能含有被鑲嵌至一半導體基板的半導體晶粒，以便減少在層壓基板中通常會發現的翹曲問題。由於利用焊線來形成電互連線的成本以及製造複雜性的關係，一傳導互連結構(例如，傳導凸塊(conductive bump)或是傳導通道(conductive via))可能會被形成用以將半導體晶粒鑲嵌並且電連接至該半導體基板，而非焊線。然而，形成傳導凸塊的製程卻可能會導致金屬間化合物(Inter-Metallic Compound；IMC)的成長，其可能會干擾該半導體晶粒的操作能力以及功能。再者，傳導凸塊的材料特性以及熱特性通常和半導體晶粒不同，從而導致會在遇熱時以不同的速率膨脹與收縮。傳導凸塊以及半導體材料之不同的膨脹速率與收縮速率會造成傳導凸塊以及半導體晶粒之間的電連接的早期失效。再者，傳導凸塊材料的塗敷與回焊亦可能會在相鄰的傳導凸塊之間造成橋接或是電氣短路。或者，形成傳導通道會造成非常小的傳導接觸面積，其會限制利用傳導通道所進行之電連接的功能性、容易排列性、以及可靠性。
美國優先權之主張
本申請案為2011年9月21日所提申之美國專利申請案第13/239,080號的部分接續案，本文以引用的方式將該申請案併入。
本技術領域需要提供一種用於半導體晶粒的簡單、低成本、並且可靠的垂直電互連結構。據此，於其中一實施例中，本發明係一種製造半導體裝置的方法，其包括下面步驟：提供一具有複數個接觸觸墊的半導體晶圓；於該半導體晶圓以及該等接觸觸墊的上方形成一第一絕緣層；移除該第一絕緣層的一部分，用以露出該等接觸觸墊的一第一部分，同時留下該等接觸觸墊中被該第一絕緣層覆蓋的一第二部分；在該等接觸觸墊以及該第一絕緣層的上方形成一凸塊下層金屬層；於該凸塊下層金屬層的上方形成複數個凸塊；於該半導體晶圓的上方形成一第二絕緣層，用以覆蓋該第一絕緣層、該凸塊下層金屬層的側壁、該等凸塊的側壁、以及該等凸塊的上方表面；以及移除該第二絕緣層中覆蓋該等凸塊之上方表面的一部分，同時保持該第二絕緣層覆蓋在該等凸塊的側壁的上方以及該凸塊下層金屬層的側壁的上方，以便為該等凸塊提供結構性支撐並且防止金屬間化合物的成長。
於另一實施例中，本發明係一種製造半導體裝置的方法，其包括下面步驟：提供一半導體晶圓；形成貫穿該半 導體晶圓的複數條傳導通道，其一部分會延伸超過該半導體晶圓的一表面；於該半導體晶圓以及該等傳導通道的上方形成一絕緣層；以及移除該絕緣層中覆蓋該等傳導通道的一上方表面的一部分，同時保持該絕緣層覆蓋在該等傳導通道的一側壁的上方，以便為該等傳導通道提供結構性支撐。
於另一實施例中，本發明係一種製造半導體裝置的方法，其包括下面步驟：提供一半導體晶圓；形成一傳導互連結構，其高度會延伸超過該半導體晶圓的一表面；於該半導體晶圓以及該傳導互連結構的上方形成一絕緣層；以及移除該絕緣層中覆蓋該傳導互連結構的一上方表面的一部分，同時保持該絕緣層覆蓋在該傳導互連結構的一側壁的上方。
於另一實施例中，本發明係一種半導體裝置，其包括一半導體晶圓。一傳導互連結構會被形成在該半導體晶圓的上方，其高度會延伸超過該半導體晶圓。一絕緣層會被形成在該半導體晶圓的上方，其會露出該傳導互連結構的一上方表面，同時保持覆蓋在該等傳導互連結構的一側壁的上方。
在下面的說明中會參考圖式於一或多個實施例中來說明本發明，於該等圖式中，相同的符號代表相同或雷同的元件。雖然本文係以達成本發明之目的的最佳模式來說明 本發明；不過，熟習本技術的人士便會明白，本發明希望涵蓋受到下面揭示內容及圖式支持的隨附申請專利範圍及它們的等效範圍所定義的本發明的精神與範疇內可能併入的替代例、修正例、以及等效例。
半導體裝置通常會使用兩種複雜的製程來製造：前端製造和後端製造。前端製造涉及在一半導體晶圓的表面上形成複數個晶粒。該晶圓上的每一個晶粒皆含有主動式電組件和被動式電組件，它們會被電連接而形成功能性電路。主動式電組件(例如電晶體與二極體)能夠控制電流的流動。被動式電組件(例如電容器、電感器、電阻器、以及變壓器)會創造用以實施電路功能所需要的電壓和電流之間的關係。
被動式組件和主動式組件會藉由一連串的製程步驟被形成在該半導體晶圓的表面上方，該等製程步驟包含：摻雜、沉積、光微影術、蝕刻、以及平坦化。摻雜會藉由下面的技術將雜質引入至半導體材料之中，例如：離子植入或是熱擴散。摻雜製程會修正主動式裝置之中的半導體材料的導電性，將該半導體材料轉換成絕緣體、導體，或是響應於一電場或基礎電流來動態改變半導體材料傳導性。電晶體含有不同類型和摻雜程度的多個區域，它們會在必要時被排列成用以在施加該電場或基礎電流時讓該電晶體會提高或限制電流的流動。
主動式組件和被動式組件係由具有不同電氣特性的多層材料所構成。該等層能夠藉由各式各樣的沉積技術來形 成，其部分取決於要被沉積的材料的類型。舉例來說，薄膜沉積可能包含：化學氣相沉積(Chemical Vapor Deposition，CVD)製程、物理氣相沉積(Physical Vapor Deposition，PVD)製程、電解質電鍍製程、以及無電極電鍍製程。每一層通常都會被圖樣化，以便形成主動式組件的一部分、被動式組件的一部分、或是組件之間的電連接線的一部分。
圖樣化係基礎的作業，藉此作業會移除該半導體晶圓表面之上的頂端層的多個部分。該半導體晶圓中的多個部分可以利用下面方式來移除：光微影術、光遮罩法、遮罩法、氧化物或金屬移除、照相術與模版印刷術、以及微型微影術(microlithography)。光微影術包含於多個主光罩(reticle)或是一光遮罩之中形成一圖樣並且將該圖樣轉印至該半導體晶圓的該等表面層。光微影術會於一雙步驟製程之中在該半導體晶圓的表面上形成主動式組件與被動式組件的水平維度。首先，該主光罩(reticle)該等遮罩上的圖樣會被轉印至一層光阻之中。光阻係一光敏感材料，當曝露於光之中時，結構與特性便會改變。改變該光阻之結構與特性的製程可以負向作用光阻(negative-acting photo resist)或是正向作用光阻(positive-acting photo resist)來進行。其次，該光阻層會被轉印至該半導體晶圓之中。當蝕刻移除半導體晶圓之頂端層中沒有被該光阻覆蓋的部分時，該轉印便會發生。光阻的化學特性會使得該光阻緩慢地溶解並且防止被化學蝕刻溶液移除，而該半導體晶圓之頂端層中 沒有被該光阻覆蓋的部分則會比較快速地被移除。形成、曝光、以及移除該光阻的製程以及移除該半導體晶圓之一部分的製程可以根據所使用的特殊光阻以及所希的結果來加以修正。
於負向作用光阻之中，光阻會曝露在光之中，並且在一被稱為聚合作用(polymerization)的製程之中從可溶解的狀態改變成不可溶解的狀態。於聚合作用之中，未被聚合的材料會曝露在一光或是能量源之中，而且多個聚合物則會形成一具有抗蝕刻性的交聯材料。於大部分的負向光阻之中，該等聚合物為聚異戊二烯(polyisoprene)。利用化學溶劑或是顯影劑移除該等可溶解的部分(也就是，沒有曝露在光之中的部分)會在該光阻之中留下一個孔洞，其會對應於該主光罩上的一不透明的圖樣。一在該等不透明的區域之中有圖樣存在的遮罩會被稱為透明場遮罩(clear-field mask)。
於正向作用光阻之中，光阻會曝露在光之中，並且在一被稱為可光溶解作用(photosolubilization)的製程之中從相對不可溶解的狀態改變成非常可溶解的狀態。於可光溶解作用之中，該相對不可溶解的光阻會曝露在適當的光能量之中並且被轉換成比較可溶解的狀態。該光阻之經過可光溶解作用的部分會在顯影製程之中被一溶劑移除。基礎的正向光阻聚合物為酚甲醛(phenol formaldehyde)聚合物，其亦稱為酚甲醛酚醛樹脂。利用化學溶劑或是顯影劑移除該等可溶解的部分(也就是，曝露在光之中的部分)會在該光 阻之中留下一個孔洞，其會對應於該主光罩上的透明圖樣。一在該等透明的區域之中有圖樣存在的遮罩會被稱為暗場遮罩(dark-field mask)。
移除該半導體晶圓中沒有被該光阻覆蓋的頂端部分之後，剩餘的光阻會被移除，從而留下一已圖樣化層。或者，某些類型的材料會藉由利用無電極電鍍以及電解質電鍍之類的技術將該材料直接沉積在由前一道沉積/蝕刻製程所形成的區域或是空隙之中而被圖樣化。
在一既有圖樣的上方沉積一薄膜材料可能會擴大下方的圖樣並且產生一不均勻平坦的表面。生產較小且更密集封裝的主動式組件和被動式組件會需要用到均勻平坦的表面。平坦化作用可以被用來從晶圓的表面處移除材料，並且產生一均勻平坦的表面。平坦化作用涉及利用一研磨墊來研磨晶圓的表面。一有磨蝕作用的材料以及腐蝕性的化學藥劑會在研磨期間被加到晶圓的表面。化學藥劑的磨蝕性作用及腐蝕性作用所組成的組合式機械作用會移除任何不規律的拓樸形狀，從而產生一均勻平坦的表面。
後端製造係指將已完成的晶圓切割或單體化裁切成個別的半導體晶粒，並且接著封裝該半導體晶粒，以達結構性支撐及環境隔離的效果。為單體化裁切該半導體晶粒，晶圓會沿著該晶圓中被稱為切割道(saw street)或切割線(scribe)的非功能性區域被刻痕並且折斷。該晶圓會利用雷射切割工具或鋸片來進行單體化裁切。經過單體化裁切之後，該個別的半導體晶粒便會被鑲嵌至一封裝基板，其包 含多根接針或是多個接觸觸墊，用以和其它系統組件進行互連。被形成在該半導體晶粒上方的接觸觸墊接著會被連接至該封裝裡面的接觸觸墊。該等電連接線可利用焊料凸塊、短柱凸塊(stud bump)、導電膏、或是焊線來製成。一囊封劑或是其它模造材料會被沉積在該封裝的上方，用以提供物理性支撐和電隔離。接著，該已完成的封裝便會被插入一電氣系統之中並且讓其它系統組件可以利用該半導體裝置的功能。
圖1所示的係一電子裝置50，其具有一晶片載體基板或是印刷電路板(Printed Circuit Board，PCB)52，在其表面上鑲嵌著複數個半導體封裝。電子裝置50可能具有某一種類型的半導體封裝或是多種類型的半導體封裝，端視應用而定。為達解釋的目的，圖1中便顯示該等不同類型的半導體封裝。

於圖5f之中所示的另一實施例中，內襯層225中覆蓋著傳導盲通道226的部分的絕緣薄膜會藉由機械性研磨、化學性蝕刻、化學-機械性平整法、或是RIE被移除；但會留下包含內襯層225之膠黏層或屏障層的傳導材料。內襯層225的剩餘部分會保持覆蓋在傳導盲通道226的表面230的上方並且構成一傳導內襯層231。傳導內襯層231包含該等傳導膠黏層或屏障層、傳導內襯合金、或是內襯層225的傳導內襯材料。移除內襯層225的絕緣薄膜用以在傳導盲通道226的表面230上方形成傳導內襯層231會在傳導盲通道226以及接續形成的傳導層之間達到改善的電互連效果。
接續圖5f，一絕緣層232會利用下面方法被沉積在基板214以及傳導通道226的上方：PVD、CVD、印刷、旋塗、噴塗、網印、或是層疊，如圖5g中所示。絕緣層232可能係由下面所製成的一或多層：SiO2、Si3N4、SiON、Ta2O5、 Al2O3、BCB、聚亞醯胺(PI)、合宜的介電質材料、光敏性或非光敏性聚合物介電質(例如，聚苯并噁唑纖維(PBO))、低溫固化聚合物介電質光阻(舉例來說，小於250℃)、SiN、SiON、或是SiO2、或是具有雷同絕緣特性及結構特性的其它材料。
在圖5h之中，絕緣層232會利用一電漿製程、濕式化學蝕刻、LDA、或是光阻顯影製程被毯覆蝕刻，用以縮減絕緣層232的厚度並且用以移除絕緣層232中覆蓋傳導通道226之上方表面的部分。於其中一實施例中，絕緣層232的毯覆蝕刻製程可能還會移除內襯層225中覆蓋傳導盲通道226之上方表面的部分，以便露出傳導盲通道226的表面230。於內襯層225係一絕緣材料的實施例中，移除一部分的內襯層225用以露出傳導盲通道226的表面230，表面230便會提供一接觸表面，以便在傳導盲通道226以及接續形成的傳導層之間達到電互連效果。於內襯層225係一傳導合金的實施例中，露出傳導盲通道226的表面230會在傳導盲通道226以及接續形成的傳導層之間達到改善的電互連效果。在該毯覆蝕刻製程之後，絕緣層232的剩餘部分會構成支撐結構236。
支撐結構236會覆蓋傳導通道226的一側壁的一部分、傳導通道226之間的接面、以及相鄰於傳導通道226的基板214。支撐結構236會在材料的膨脹與收縮期間為傳導通道226提供結構性支撐。支撐結構236還會環境密封傳導通道226與基板214之間的接面，以便降低IMC之成 長的發生機率。於其中一實施例中，會使用端末點偵測或是時控蝕刻來確保支撐結構236中相鄰於傳導通道226的部分的高度會大於H2的四分之一。
於圖5i之中所示的另一實施例中，支撐結構236會覆蓋傳導通道226的側壁的一部分、傳導通道226與基板214之間的接面、以及基板214中相鄰於傳導通道226的部分。移除絕緣層232的一部分用以形成支撐結構236的毯覆蝕刻製程還會移除支撐結構236中位於絕緣層232上方的一部分。
接續圖5h，一導電層242會利用PVD、CVD、電解質電鍍製程、無電極電鍍製程、或是其它合宜的金屬沉積製程被形成在支撐結構236、基板214、以及傳導通道226的上方，如圖5j中所示。傳導層242可能係由下面所製成的一或多層：Al、Cu、Sn、Ni、Au、Ag、或是其它合宜的導電材料。傳導層242的操作方式如同被電連接至傳導通道226的多個接觸觸墊，但是，上方表面積大於傳導通道226的上方表面積。
在圖5k之中，一絕緣層或鈍化層244會被形成在基板214、支撐結構236、以及傳導層242的上方，其係利用下面方法所形成：PVD、CVD、印刷、旋塗、噴塗、燒結、或是熱氧化。絕緣層244含有由下面所製成的一或多層：SiO2、Si3N4、SiON、Ta2O5、Al2O3、或是具有雷同絕緣特性及結構特性的其它材料。
在圖5l之中，一部分的絕緣層244會藉由一蝕刻製程 經由一光阻層(圖中並未顯示)被移除，以便形成多個開口248並且露出傳導層242。或者，開口248係藉由LDA利用雷射249所形成，以便移除絕緣層244的一部分並且露出傳導層242。於其中一實施例中，開口248的剖面寬度大於寬度W1。接觸觸墊242的另一部分會保持被絕緣層244覆蓋。開口248的側壁可能具有漸細、筆直、或是階梯狀的輪廓。於其中一實施例中，開口248的剖面積大於傳導通道226的上方表面的表面積。
圖5m所示的係圖5l之裝配件的俯視圖或平面圖，其具有圓形剖面的多個開口248，用以露出傳導層242的上方表面的一部分。於其中一實施例中，傳導層242的裸露表面的表面積會大於傳導通道226的上方表面的表面積。圖5n所示的係圖5l之裝配件的俯視圖或平面圖，其具有矩形剖面的多個開口248，用以露出傳導層242的上方表面的一部分。於其中一實施例中，傳導層242的裸露表面的表面積會大於傳導通道226的上方表面的表面積。因為裸露的傳導表面大於傳導通道226的表面積，所以和額外電子裝置的電連接的對齊排列、功能、以及可靠性會獲得改善。
在圖5o之中，會利用鋸片或是雷射切割工具250來單體化裁切圖5k中的裝配件，使其貫穿絕緣層244、支撐結構236、基板214、以及切割道126，變成個別的半導體封裝252。
圖6所示的係單體化裁切之後的半導體封裝252。多條傳導通道226會被形成貫穿基板214並且具有高度H2，其 係從基板214的上方表面延伸至傳導通道226的上方表面。
一絕緣層232會被形成在傳導通道226以及基板214的上方。絕緣層232會被蝕刻，以便移除絕緣層232中覆蓋傳導通道226之上方表面的一部分。剩餘的絕緣層232會構成支撐結構236。支撐結構236會覆蓋傳導通道226的一側壁的一部分、傳導通道226與基板214之間的接面、以及相鄰於傳導通道226的基板214。於其中一實施例中，支撐結構236中相鄰於傳導通道226的部分的高度會大於H2的四分之一。
支撐結構236會在傳導通道226與基板214的膨脹與收縮期間為傳導通道226提供結構性支撐。支撐結構236還會環境密封傳導通道226與基板214之間的接面，以便降低IMC之成長的發生機率。
傳導層242會被形成在支撐結構236、傳導通道226、以及基板214的上方並且操作方式如同一接觸觸墊。傳導層242會被電連接至傳導通道226，其表面積大於傳導通道226的表面積。絕緣層244係被形成在傳導層242的上方，而且一部分的絕緣層244會藉由一蝕刻製程被移除，用以創造多個開口248。於其中一實施例中，開口248的剖面積大於傳導通道226的上方表面。因為裸露的傳導表面大於傳導通道226的表面積，所以和額外電子裝置的電連接的對齊排列、功能、以及可靠性會獲得改善。
本文雖然已經詳細解釋本發明的一或多個實施例；但是，熟習本技術的人士便會明白，可以對此等實施例進行 修正與更動，其並不會脫離如後面的申請專利範圍之中所提出之本發明的範疇。
