Description

具有保留處理晶圓部之裝置層轉移
本發明大體上關於半導體裝置及積體電路製造,並且特別的是,關於集合體(assembly),其包括上覆半導體絕緣體(semiconductor-on-insulator;SOI)基板的裝置層、及取代SOI基板的處理(handle)晶圓的取代基板,此外還有關於將SOI基板的裝置層從SOI基板的處理晶圓移送至取代基板的方法。
使用上覆半導體絕緣體技術製造的裝置與主體矽基板中直接建置的對照裝置相比較,可呈現某些效能提升。大體上,SOI晶圓包括半導體材料的薄裝置層、處理晶圓、以及薄埋置型絕緣體層,例如:埋置型氧化物(buried oxide)或BOX層,其使得裝置層與處理晶圓實體分離並且電氣隔離。積體電路在製造時,可使用在SOI晶圓的正面表面處的裝置層的半導體材料,並且可能還使用處理晶圓的半導體材料。
晶圓薄化因為需要使封裝更薄而盛行,以便符合堆疊與高密度晶片封裝的需求。SOI晶圓可通過將 處理晶圓移離其構造而薄化,而且一旦薄化,便對背面表面進行附加操作。為了在薄化、以及薄化後進行的任何附加操作期間提供機械支撐,正面表面可採黏著方式接合至暫時基板。進行附加操作之後,永久基板可附接至背面表面而取代處理晶圓,並且可將暫時基板移離正面表面。
需要改良型集合體,其包括SOI基板的裝置層、及該SOI基板的處理晶圓用的取代基板,還需要用於將該SOI基板的裝置層從處理晶圓移送至取代基板的改良型方法。
在本發明的一具體實施例中,一種方法包括在矽絕緣體基板的處理晶圓的第一區段中形成裝置結構,移除與該處理晶圓的該第一區段毗連的該處理晶圓的第二區段,以曝露該矽絕緣體基板的埋置型介電層,以及使永久基板附接至該埋置型介電層的表面。當永久基板附接至埋置型介電層時,永久基板中界定的凹穴內側接收處理晶圓的第一區段。
在本發明的一具體實施例中,一種使用矽絕緣體基板形成的集合體。集合體包括矽絕緣體基板的裝置層、以及矽絕緣體基板的埋置型絕緣體層。埋置型絕緣體層具有與裝置層接觸的第一表面、以及與第一表面對立的第二表面。集合體包括於埋置型絕緣體層的第二表面上所佈置的矽絕緣體基板的處理晶圓的區段、以及處理晶圓的區段中的裝置結構。集合體更包括附接至埋置型絕緣體 層的永久基板。永久基板包括組配成用以接收處理晶圓的區段的凹穴。

附圖合併於並且構成本說明書的一部分,繪示本發明的各項具體實施例,並且連同上文本發明的一般性說明、及下文具體實施例的詳細說明,作用在於闡釋本發明的具體實施例。
第1圖根據本發明的一具體實施例,為集合體形成用處理方法初始製造階段基板一部分的截面圖,其中該集合體是採倒置方式展示。
第2圖為第1圖的處理方法的後續製造階段上的基板部分的截面圖。
第3圖為第2圖的處理方法的後續製造階段上的基板部分的截面圖,其中該集合體是採非倒置方式展示。
請參閱第1圖,並且根據本發明的一具體實施例,集合體10包括上覆半導體絕緣體(SOI)基板12、以及已在SOI基板10上形成裝置與電線後採可移除方式附接至SOI基板10的正面的暫時基板14。SOI基板12可包括裝置層16、形式為埋置型氧化物(buried oxide;BOX)層的埋置型介電層18、以及處理晶圓20。裝置層16通過中介埋置型介電層18而與處理晶圓20分離,並且比處理晶圓20薄非常多。埋置型介電層18具有與處理晶圓20直接接觸 的表面18a、以及與裝置層16直接接觸的另一表面18b,而且這些表面18a、18b通過埋置型介電層18的厚度來分離。
裝置層16與處理晶圓20可由諸如矽的單晶半導體材料所構成。裝置層16可含有CMOS電晶體或雙極性接面電晶體、被動物、矽化矽(silieided silicon)、淺溝槽隔離氧化物等。埋置型介電層18可由電絕緣體所構成,並且特別的是,可以是由二氧化矽(例如:SiO2)所構成的埋置型氧化物層。裝置層16通過埋置型介電層18與處理晶圓20電性隔離。
前段(Front-end-of-line;FEOL)處理用於使用裝置層16製造一或多個積體電路的裝置結構,並藉以在採可移除方式附接暫時基板14之前,先形成晶片。裝置結構如上所述可以是雙極性接面電晶體、場效電晶體、被動物、及/或共面波導(coplanar waveguide;CPW)傳輸線,而晶片上由集合體10所形成的積體電路可經組配而在高頻與高功率應用(例如:無線通訊系統及行動裝置用的功率放大器)中及高速邏輯電路中用於終端用途。積體電路可包括諸如開關、功率放大器、功率管理單元、濾波器等各種功能塊。
在一代表性具體實施例中,裝置結構可包括延伸穿過裝置層16並穿透至給定深度d進入處理晶圓20的深溝槽24中形成的一或多個深溝槽電容器22。多個深溝槽24與深溝槽電容器22可設置成陣列(array)以形成 多個裝置結構。深溝槽24可通過塗敷硬遮罩、利用光微影與蝕刻圖案化硬遮罩、然後使用反應性離子蝕刻(reactive ion etch;RIE)程序界定深溝槽來形成。蝕刻程序可採單一蝕刻步驟或多重蝕刻步驟來進行,可憑靠一或多種蝕刻化學品,並且可在受到控制的條件下進行以限制深溝槽24進入處理晶圓20的穿透深度。
各深溝槽電容器22可包括各別深溝槽24的側壁上所形成作為襯墊的絕緣體層、以及由諸如經摻雜多晶矽的導電體所構成的插塞,其佔據剩餘空間。絕緣體層運作為深溝槽電容器22中的電容器介電質,插塞運作為深溝槽電容器22的電極或板材,而相鄰於深溝槽24的處理晶圓20運作為深溝槽電容器22的另一電極或板材,並且可用n型或p型摻質進行摻雜以降低寄生電阻。
中段(Middle-of-line;MOL)與後段(back-end-of-line;BEOL)處理接在前段處理後進行以形成多階互連結構,大體上是以參考元件符號26來指出,上覆於SOI基板12的裝置層16。互連結構26可由複數個接線層中的接線所構成,此接線供應用於信號、時脈、電力等的傳導路徑。互連結構26的接線與晶片的積體電路耦合,並且特別的是,可與深溝槽電容器22耦合。諸如二極體、電阻器、電容器、變容器及電感器等其它主動與被動電路元件可整合成互連結構26。
接線層可通過沉積、光微影圖案化、蝕刻、以及鑲嵌及/或消去性圖案化拋光技術特性來形成。接線用 的候選導體包括金屬,例如銅(Cu)、鋁(Al)、鋁銅(AlCu)、以及與諸如鉭(Ta)、鈦(Ti)、氮化鉭(TaN)及氮化鈦(TiN)等耐火金屬組合的鎢(W),其可通過化學氣相沉積、物理氣相沉積、蒸鍍、或通過與電鍍或無電式鍍覆相似的電化學程序來沉積。不同接線層的接線嵌埋於介電層中,其可由諸如二氧化矽、氮化矽、濃縮氫的碳氧化矽(SiCOH)、及氟矽酸玻璃(fluorosilicate glass;FSG)等任何合適的有機或無機介電材料所構成,其舉例而言,可通過化學氣相沉積來沉積。
特別的是,互連結構26的最頂端接線層可包括接合墊28,其可用以建立與晶片上積體電路的外部連接。接合墊28可由銅、鋁、或這些金屬的合金所構成。接合墊28舉例而言,可作用為耦合至正供應電壓(VDD)或接地(VSS)用以供電給晶片上主動電路系統的配電接墊,作用為用於使信號與晶片上主動電路系統往來連通的輸入/輸出(I/O)接墊,或作用為與晶片的主動電路系統電性隔離的虛設(dummy)接墊。
暫時基板14採可移除方式附接至互連結構26位於SOI基板12正面處的頂端表面,而處理晶圓20在薄化前、且完成前段、中段、及後段處理後則保持原封不動。舉例而言,暫時基板14可通過黏著層30採黏著方式接合至互連結構26的頂端表面,以便提供可釋離或可移除附接。暫時基板14厚到足以在處理晶圓20為了將其背面的SOI基板12薄化而於後續製造階段縮減厚度時,容許進 行機械裝卸。暫時基板14可由石英、玻璃或不同材料所構成。黏著層30可由聚合物黏著劑所構成,例如:聚亞醯胺黏著層,或更具體來說,HD3007聚亞醯胺黏著劑。黏著層30的黏著強度在選擇方面,可在使用例如雷射或機械釋離進行後續剝離時,使暫時基板14輕易自其附接至互連結構26的頂端表面的狀態釋離。
處理晶圓20通過研磨、蝕刻、及/或拋光並透過薄化,得以朝向與埋置型介電層18在表面18a處的界面移離其背面。薄化程序受到控制以保留處理晶圓20的殘餘厚度t,使得薄化結束後,埋置型介電層18的背面18a維持完全受到包覆。處理晶圓20的殘餘厚度在選擇方面,大於深溝槽24的穿透深度,可讓深溝槽電容器22進入處理晶圓20。在一具體實施例中,處理晶圓20的殘餘厚度可以是大於深溝槽24的穿透深度的5μm到20μm,讓深溝槽電容器22進入處理晶圓20。結果是,深溝槽24的完整性不因薄化程序而受損,而且深溝槽電容器22與深溝槽24在完成薄化處理晶圓20的程序之後,原封不動且不受干擾。
請參閱第2圖,其中相似的參考元件符號是指第1圖中相似的特徵,而且在處理方法的後續製造階段,處理晶圓20的殘餘厚度經光微影圖案化與蝕刻,以將處理晶圓20在包括深溝槽24處除外的半導體材料移除。結果為處理晶圓20保留於深溝槽24所在處的保留區段21。處理晶圓20的保留區段21包括側表面23,其自頂端 表面25延展至埋置型介電層18的表面18a。
處理晶圓20的保留區段21具有非零厚度,其等於處理晶圓20薄化後的厚度,還在垂直於此厚度的平面中具有寬度W1及長度。處理晶圓20相鄰於處理晶圓20的保留區段21處具有零厚度,從而使埋置型介電層18曝露。處理晶圓20的這個零厚度區域可剔除基板與裝置的耦合,例如:SOI開關,如此可改善切換性質,例如:插入損耗與線性。
若要圖案化處理晶圓20的殘餘厚度,由諸如光阻的光敏材料所構成的遮罩層可通過旋轉塗佈程序塗敷、預烘培、受透過光遮罩投射的光曝照、曝照後烘培、以及利用化學顯影劑顯影來界定將處理晶圓20的保留區段21包覆的蝕刻遮罩。蝕刻程序在有遮罩層的情況下,通過移除處理晶圓20的未受掩蔽區段,並且終止於埋置型介電層18的材料上,而用於形成處理晶圓20的保留區段21。蝕刻程序可採單一蝕刻步驟或多重蝕刻步驟來進行,可憑靠一或多種蝕刻化學品,可使用乾式電漿或濕式蝕刻程序,並且可在受到控制的條件下進行以限制SOI基板12的穿透深度。用於矽處理晶圓20的蝕刻程序的實施例是以六氟化硫為主的電漿蝕刻或以氫氧化鉀為主的濕矽蝕刻。
可對埋置型介電層18選擇性移除處理晶圓20的未受掩蔽區段,以使得埋置型介電層18在移除處理晶圓20後維持原封不動。“選擇性”一詞參照材料移除程序(例如:蝕刻)於本文中使用時,表示憑藉選擇適當的蝕 刻劑,靶材料的材料移除率高於經受材料移除程序的至少另一材料的移除率。
通過蝕刻程序界定處理晶圓20的保留區段21之後,可移除遮罩層。此遮罩層若由光阻所構成,可通過灰化或溶劑剝除,然後再通過習知的清潔程序來移除。
永久基板32附接至埋置型介電層18以建立中間集合體34,其仍包括暫時基板14。特別的是,埋置型介電層18的背面18a與永久基板32的頂端表面32a接觸而置,而且這些表面18a、32a後續通過例如熱程序(例如:氧化物接合)、或利用諸如HD3007聚亞醯胺的黏著層予以接合在一起。在此中間集合體中,裝置層16、埋置型介電層18、以及互連結構26安置於暫時基板14與永久基板32之間。當SOI基板12的埋置型介電層18與永久基板32接合在一起時,接合的表面18a、32a共面或實質共面。
在各項具體實施例中,永久基板32可以是由高電阻矽、藍寶石、石英、矽土玻璃、礬土等所構成的工程處理的高電阻晶圓。處理晶圓20可以是不昂貴的基板(例如:常見的矽晶圓),是在處理期間用於製造晶片的積體電路,然後由永久基板32所取代以提供最終集合體,可期望呈現改善的效能度量。
永久基板32包括凹穴36,其相對於與埋置型介電層18的表面18a附接的表面32a而凹陷。凹穴36經策略性安置而與在裝配時含有深溝槽電容器22的處理晶圓20的保留區段21對準。凹穴36具有表面37,其經 幾何塑形而反映處理晶圓20的保留區段21的表面23、25。凹穴36具有深度D,其大於處理晶圓20薄化後的厚度,並且特別的是,大於處理晶圓20的保留區段21的厚度。凹穴36具有寬度W2(及長度),其大於處理晶圓20的保留區段21的寬度(及長度)。
在代表性具體實施例中,永久基板32可利用黏著層35附接至埋置型介電層18。凹穴36的尺寸可在處理晶圓20的保留區段21間提供間隙,用以容納黏著層35的厚度及置放容限(tolerance)。在一具體實施例中,凹穴36的深度可以是比處理晶圓20的保留區段21的殘餘厚度更大的4μm至8μm,並且凹穴36的寬度可小於或等於30μm但大於處理晶圓20的保留區段21的寬度,用以容納裝配期間的置放容限、以及容納黏著層35。
在一替代具體實施例中,永久基板32不使用黏著劑也可附接至埋置型介電層18。在此實例中,凹穴36的尺寸可以更小,以致與處理晶圓的保留區段21的餘隙得以減小或消除。在一特定具體實施例中,凹穴36的尺寸可等於或稍大於處理晶圓20的保留區段21的尺寸。
永久基板32的一部分得以選擇性移除以容納保留區段21,其自埋置型介電層18上有形成裝置結構的表面18a突出。若要形成凹穴36,可將遮罩層塗敷至永久基板32的表面,後續與埋置型介電層18耦合,然後利用光微影圖案化。為達此目的,此遮罩層可包含諸如光阻的光敏材料,其經受通過旋轉塗佈程序的塗敷、預烘培、 穿過光遮罩投射的光曝照、曝照後烘培,然後以化學顯影劑顯影,而在凹穴36的意欲位置與開口界定蝕刻遮罩。開口的尺寸在選擇方面可提供凹穴36所需要的寬度及長度。蝕刻程序在有遮罩層的情況下,用於形成凹穴36。蝕刻程序可採單一蝕刻步驟或多重蝕刻步驟來進行,可憑靠一或多種蝕刻化學品,並且可在受到控制的條件下進行以限制進入永久基板32的穿透深度。可在通過蝕刻程序形成凹穴36後移除遮罩層。此遮罩層若由光阻所構成,可通過灰化或溶劑剝除,然後再通過習知的清潔程序來移除。
請參閱第3圖,其中相似的參考元件符號是指第2圖中相似的特徵,而且在處理方法的後續製造階段,隨後移除暫時基板14以提供最終集合體38,但不干擾永久基板32與埋置型介電層18間的接合。舉例而言,中間集合體34可置放於加熱卡盤上以降低黏著層30所提供的黏著接合的強度,以使得可利用施力輕易移除暫時基板14。替代地,黏著層30可進行雷射釋離,接著移除暫時基板14,然後進行任選的濕式或電漿清潔以移除殘餘黏著劑。
暫時基板14起作用而有助於將裝置層16中及上的積體電路移送至永久基板32。最終集合體中的永久基板32取代初始集合體10中SOI基板12的處理晶圓20。諸如焊塊、銅柱、打線、或晶圓級晶片尺寸封裝的連接結構40可在接合墊28上形成,後面跟著晶片的背面研磨、分切及封裝。
在一替代具體實施例中,利用處理晶圓20的保留區段21的裝置結構類型可有別於代表性的深溝槽電容器22。舉例而言,此裝置結構的類型可包含一或多個電阻器、一或多個電容器、一或多個電晶體、一或多個電感器等。在一特定替代具體實施例中,此裝置結構可以是在處理晶圓20中形成有集極(collector)與副集極(sub-collector)的雙極性接面電晶體。另外,可複製此構造以包括與保留區段21相似的多個保留區段、以及與此等保留區段對準(registered)且與凹穴36相似的多個凹穴。
深溝槽電容器22常在SOI技術中使用。通過背面薄化移除處理晶圓20時,使埋置型介電層18的表面18a曝露,但區段21(以及其它類似的保留區段)除外。在處理晶圓20進行背面薄化使埋置型介電層18的剩餘部分曝露後,通過將區段21保留,本發明的具體實施例促進SOICMOS裝置與深溝槽電容器22在通過已工程處理性質進行特性分析的永久基板32上的整合。從而可以在相同的晶圓或晶片上使用深溝槽電容器及低RF損失基板。
本方法如以上所述,是用於製造積體電路晶片。產生的積體電路晶片可由製造商以空白晶圓形式(例如:作為具有多個未封裝晶片的單一晶圓)、當作裸晶粒、或以封裝形式來配送。在後例中,晶片嵌裝於單晶片封裝(例如:塑膠載體,有導線黏貼至主機板或其它更高層次載體)中、或多晶片封裝(例如:具有表面互連或埋置型互連任一者或兩者的陶瓷載體)中。無論如何,晶片可與其它晶 片、離散電路元件、及/或其它信號處理裝置整合,作為中間產品或或最終產品的部分。
本文中對“垂直”、“水平”等用語的參照屬於舉例,並非限制,用以建立參考架構。“水平”一詞於本文中使用時,定義為與半導體基板的習知平面平行的平面,與其實際三維空間方位無關。“垂直”與“正交”等詞是指垂直於水平的方向,如剛才的定義。“橫向”一詞是指水平平面內的維度。
一特徵可連至或與另一元件進行“連接”或“耦合”,其可直接連接或耦合至其它元件,或取而代之,可存在一或多個中介元件。如無中介元件,一特徵可“直接連接”或“直接耦合”至另一元件。如有至少一個中介元件,一特徵可“間接連接”或“間接耦合”至另一元件。
本發明的各項具體實施例的描述已為了說明目的而介紹,但用意不在於窮舉或受限於所揭示的具體實施例。許多修改及變例對於所屬技術領域中具有通常知識者將會顯而易知,但不會脫離所述具體實施例的範疇及精神。本文中使用的術語是為了最佳闡釋具體實施例的原理、對市場出現的技術所作的實務應用或技術改良、或讓所屬技術領域中具有通常知識者能夠理解本文中所揭示的具體實施例而選擇。
