以下揭露內容提供用以實施本發明的不同特徵的許多不同實施例或實例。下文描述組件及配置的具體實例以簡化本揭露 內容。當然,此等組件及配置僅為實例且並不意欲為限制性的。舉例而言,在以下描述中,第一特徵形成於第二特徵上方或第二特徵上可包含第一特徵與第二特徵直接接觸地形成的實施例,且亦可包含額外特徵可形成於第一特徵與第二特徵之間以使得第一特徵與第二特徵可不直接接觸的實施例。另外,本揭露內容可在各種實例中重複附圖標號及/或字母。此重複是出於簡化及清楚的目的,且本身並不規定所論述的各種實施例及/或組態之間的關係。
另外,為易於描述,可在本文中使用諸如「在...之下(beneath)」、「在...下方(below)」、「下部(lower)」、「在...之上(above)」、「上部(upper)」以及類似者的空間相對術語來描述如在圖式中所示出的一個部件或特徵與另一部件或特徵的關係。除圖式中所描繪的定向之外,空間相對術語還意欲涵蓋元件在使用或操作中的不同定向。設備可以其他方式定向(旋轉90度或處於其他定向)且本文中所使用的空間相對描述詞可同樣相應地進行解譯。
圖1A至圖1B示出根據一些實施例的實例半導體元件100及實例晶圓200。半導體元件100及晶圓200可隨後例如使用取放(pick-and-place)製程接合在一起或形成封裝元件的部分。半導體元件100包含基底102及形成於基底102上方的特徵。基底102可為半導體基底,諸如塊狀半導體、絕緣層上半導體(semiconductor-on-insulator;SOI)基底或類似者,所述半導體基底可經摻雜(例如,經p型摻雜劑或n型摻雜劑摻雜)或未經摻雜。一般而言,SOI基底包含形成於絕緣層上的半導體材料層。絕緣層可為例如內埋氧化物(buried oxide;BOX)層、氧化矽層或 類似者。絕緣層設置於基底(通常為矽基底或玻璃基底)上。亦可使用其他基底,諸如多層基底或梯度基底。在一些實施例中,基底的半導體材料可包含:矽;鍺;化合物半導體,包含碳化矽、砷化鎵、磷化鎵、磷化銦、砷化銦及/或銻化銦;合金半導體,包含SiGe、GaAsP、AlInAs、AlGaAs、GaInAs、GaInP及/或GaInAsP;或其組合。如圖1A中所繪示,基底102可具有在約100微米與約800微米之間的厚度T1,且可具有在約5000微米與約60000微米之間的尺寸(亦即,長度或寬度)L1。
在一些實施例中,半導體元件100可為諸如記憶體元件、邏輯元件、功率元件、此等的組合或類似者的經設計成與封裝內的其他元件(包含晶圓200內的元件或結構)一起運行的半導體元件。然而,可利用任何適合的功能性。在一些實施例中,積體電路元件形成於基底102的頂部表面上。積體電路元件可包含互補金屬氧化物半導體(complementary metal-oxide semiconductor;CMOS)電晶體、電阻器、電容器、二極體或類似者。本文中並未示出積體電路元件的細節。在一些實施例中,半導體元件100用於形成中介層(interposers)。在此類實施例中,基底102上未形成諸如電晶體或二極體的主動元件。可存在(或可能不存在)形成於半導體元件100中的諸如電容器、電阻器、電感器或類似者的被動元件。在半導體元件100為中介層的實施例中,基底102亦可為介電基底。此外,可形成穿孔(未繪示)以穿過基底102以便內連基底102的相對側上的元件。
半導體元件100亦包含安置於形成於基底102的一側上的接合層106內的多個接合墊104。接合墊104可由導電材料形 成,且可電性連接至積體電路元件、金屬線、內連線、穿孔或半導體元件100內的其他特徵。在一些情況下,一或多個金屬化層(未繪示)可安置於基底102與接合層106之間。在一些實施例中,接合墊104可具有在約5微米與約25微米之間的初始(亦即,在接合或安裝至接合頭之前)間距P1。在一些實施例中,接合墊104可安置於基底102的兩側上。
晶圓200包含基底202、介電層206以及接合墊204。基底202可類似於如上文所描述的半導體元件100的基底102,或可不同於基底102。介電層206或接合墊204可分別類似於半導體元件100的表面接合層106或接合墊104,或可不同。晶圓200的接合墊204可對應於半導體元件100的接合墊104。舉例而言,在將半導體元件100接合至晶圓200之後,對應的接合墊104及接合墊204可在半導體元件100與晶圓200之間進行電連接。
圖1B繪示在已(例如,藉由化學機械研磨(chemical mechanical polishing;CMP)製程)薄化且安裝至接合頭150之後的圖1A中所繪示的半導體元件100。舉例而言,作為取放製程的部分,接合頭150可用以將半導體元件100接合至晶圓200。在一些情況下,半導體元件100可在安裝至接合頭150之前薄化至在約7微米與約100微米之間的厚度T2。在一些情況下,將半導體元件100安裝至接合頭150可使得半導體元件100翹曲成彎曲形狀,如圖1B中所繪示。作為示出性實例,在圖1A中,接合層106的外表面151具有相對較齊平形狀,但在圖1B中,接合層106的外表面151具有彎曲形狀。在一些實施例中,接合頭150經組態以產生半導體元件100的翹曲。
在一些情況下,半導體元件100的翹曲使得接合層106的外表面151擴展,此亦可增大接合墊104中的一些者或所有者的間距。舉例而言,歸因於在安裝至接合頭150時半導體元件100的翹曲(圖1B中所繪示),接合墊104可具有大於未安裝半導體元件100的初始間距P1(圖1A中所繪示)的翹曲間距P2。在一些情況下,翹曲半導體元件100的一些區可與半導體元件100的其他區具有不同的間距。舉例而言,更接近翹曲半導體元件100的邊緣的區可比更接近中心的區具有更大間距。對接合墊104的間距已自初始間距P1增大至翹曲間距P2的情況而言,半導體元件100的接合墊104中的一些者或所有者可能未與晶圓200的對應接合墊204精確地對準。在一些情況下,對應接合墊之間的未對準可導致電阻增大或連接斷開。越接近半導體元件100的邊緣,此未對準可能越明顯。舉例而言,如圖1B中所繪示,靠近半導體元件100的中心的對應接合墊之間的未對準D1小於靠近半導體元件100的邊緣的對應接合墊之間的未對準D2。在一些情況下,半導體元件100的翹曲可導致對應接合墊之間的未對準多達約3000奈米。在一些情況下,在接合之前對應接合墊的未對準(例如,圖1B)可不同於在接合之後的未對準(例如,圖3A)。
轉向圖2A至圖2B,根據一些實施例繪示半導體元件100及晶圓200。半導體元件100及晶圓200可類似於上文相對於圖1A至圖1B所描述的彼等半導體元件及晶圓。在圖2A中,將半導體元件100繪示為安裝至接合頭150,但出於清楚起見未繪示半導體元件100的翹曲。圖2B繪示如由圖2A中所繪示的視圖B-B指示的半導體元件100的平面視圖。圖2A繪示穿過如圖2B中所繪 示的橫截面A-A的橫截面視圖。圖2A至圖2B繪示半導體元件100的接合墊的間距已歸因於半導體元件100的翹曲而增大,如先前所描述。
在一些實施例中,半導體元件100包含內區112及外區114,所述內區包含內接合墊105,所述外區包含外接合結構120。在一些實施例中,外接合結構120各自包含藉由平行連接電性連接在一起的兩個或大於兩個外接合墊107,下文更詳細地描述。藉由連接外區114中的多個外接合墊107,可減小因(諸如上文相對於圖1B所描述的)接合未對準所致的電阻效應。內接合墊105及/或外接合墊107可類似於先前所描述的接合墊104。在一些實施例中,外區114中的外接合結構120或外接合墊107可具有(在一個或兩個垂直方向上的)初始間距,所述初始間距與內區112中的內接合墊105的(在一個或兩個垂直方向上的)初始間距約為相同的。在一些實施例中,外區114或內區112可包含內接合墊105及外接合墊107兩者。在一些實施例中,晶圓200亦可包含具有內接合墊205的內區212以及具有外接合結構220及外接合墊207的外區214。內區212、內接合墊205、外區214或外接合結構220可類似於相對於半導體元件100所描述的對應特徵。
圖2B中所繪示的半導體元件100具有總寬度W1及總長度L1。作為示出性實例,將外區114繪示為自半導體元件100的邊緣向內延伸寬度W2及長度L2的區。在一些實施例中,可將外區114的寬度W2或長度L2分別限定為總寬度W1或總長度L1的分率(fractions)。舉例而言,可將寬度W2或長度L2限定為分別在總寬度W1或總長度L1的約5%與約20%之間,諸如小於約 10%。舉例而言,寬度W2可為總寬度W1的約10%,但可使用其他分率值。寬度W2可為總寬度W1的與總長度L1的長度L2的分率相同的分率,或寬度W2可與長度L2為不同的分率值。在一些情況下,可基於預期擴展的量或預期未對準的量來判定寬度W2或長度L2的距離或分率值。舉例而言,在一些情況下,因未對準所致的間題(諸如電阻增大)在總寬度W1的約10%的寬度W2內可為最嚴重的,但在其他情況下可使用其他距離或分率值。外區114亦可自半導體元件100的相對或相鄰邊緣延伸不同距離。
圖2B繪示外區114包含兩列外接合墊107(在寬度W2內)及兩行外接合墊107(在長度L2內),但其他實施例可在寬度W2內具有一列外接合墊107或大於兩列外接合墊107,或可在長度L2內具有一行外接合墊107或大於兩行外接合墊107。在一些情況下,可根據外接合墊107的列數或行數或根據初始間距的倍數(multiples)來限定寬度W2或長度L2。在一些情況下,根據因安裝至接合頭150所致的半導體元件100的翹曲來判定外區114的大小。在一些實施例中,內區112與外區114之間的邊界可具有除矩形形狀以外的形狀,諸如十字形狀、橢圓形形狀等。
轉向圖3A至圖3E,根據一些實施例繪示接合半導體結構300。在圖3A至圖3E中所繪示的實施例中,外接合結構的電性連接的外接合墊之間的平行連接與外接合墊形成於相同層中。接合半導體結構300包含接合至晶圓200的半導體元件100。半導體元件100及晶圓200可類似於上文相對於圖2A至圖2B所描述的彼等半導體元件及晶圓。接合半導體結構300包含內區312及外區314,其可類似於先前所描述的內區112或外區114。在內區 312中,半導體元件100與晶圓200藉由半導體元件100的內接合墊105及晶圓200的內接合墊205電性連接。在外區314中,半導體元件100及晶圓200藉由半導體元件100的外接合結構120及晶圓200的外接合結構220電性連接。圖3A繪示接合半導體結構300的橫截面視圖。圖3B至圖3E繪示包含具有實例內接合墊105及內接合墊205的內區312的一部分且包含具有實例外接合結構120及外接合結構220的外區314的一部分的接合半導體結構300的實例實施例的平面視圖。圖3A至圖3E將半導體元件100及晶圓200繪示為歸因於半導體元件100的翹曲而在接合之後具有未對準,如先前所描述。
如圖3B至圖3E中所繪示,半導體元件100的外接合結構120包含藉由一或多個平行連接121連接的兩個外接合墊107,且晶圓200的外接合結構220包含藉由一或多個平行連接221連接的兩個外接合墊207。如圖3A至圖3E中所繪示,平行連接121可與外接合墊107安置於相同層中,且平行連接221可與外接合墊207安置於相同層中。在一些實施例中,平行連接121(或平行連接221)為連接相鄰對外接合墊107(或外接合墊207)的金屬線。外接合墊107可與內接合墊105具有相同的初始間距,且外接合墊207可與內接合墊205具有相同的初始間距。平行連接121(或平行連接221)可具有寬度W3,所述寬度小於、約等於或大於外接合墊107(或外接合墊207)的尺寸。舉例而言,圖3B繪示具有小於外接合墊107的直徑的寬度W3的平行連接121。在一些實施例中,平行連接121(或平行連接221)可具有在約500奈米與約3500奈米之間的寬度W3。圖3B將平行連接121(及平行連 接221)繪示為具有矩形形狀,但在其他實施例中,平行連接121(或平行連接221)可沿其長度具有大於一個寬度W3或具有不同形狀,諸如彎曲形狀、梯形形狀、具有一或多個錐形部分的形狀、不規則形狀或另一形狀。
在圖3A至圖3E中所繪示的實施例中,外接合墊107及平行連接121兩者安置於接合層106的外層中。外接合墊107及平行連接121的頂部表面實質上共面且包含未由接合層106覆蓋的部分。以此方式,當半導體元件100接合至晶圓200時,外接合墊107及平行連接121均可用於外接合結構120以形成電連接。舉例而言,晶圓200的外接合結構220可包含安置於介電層206的外層中的外接合墊207及平行連接221以與外接合結構120進行電連接。在一些實施例中,半導體元件100的外接合結構120接合至晶圓200的對應接合特徵(諸如外接合結構220、一或多個接合墊或其他類型的特徵)以形成電連接。藉由使用除多個外接合墊107(或外接合墊207)的表面之外的平行連接121(或平行連接221)的表面以供半導體元件100與晶圓200之間的一些接合電連接,接合電連接的交疊接觸區域可增大,此可減小接合電連接的接觸電阻。另外,外接合結構120(或外接合結構220)的區域增大可在存在未對準(諸如圖3A至圖3E中所繪示的實例未對準)時允許交疊接觸區域增大。以此方式,靠近半導體元件100的邊緣的因未對準所致的接合電連接的接觸電阻可減小(在所述邊緣處未對準可更為明顯)。

如圖5A至圖5B中所繪示,半導體元件100的外接合結 構120包含藉由一或多個平行連接121連接的兩個外接合墊107,且晶圓200的外接合結構220包含藉由一或多個平行連接221連接的兩個外接合墊207。如圖5A至圖5B中所繪示,平行連接121可與外接合墊107安置於不同的層中並藉由通孔連接至外接合墊107,且平行連接221可與外接合墊207安置於不同的層中並藉由通孔連接至外接合墊207。對半導體元件100的外接合結構120的描述亦可應用於晶圓200的外接合結構220。外接合墊107可與內接合墊105具有相同間距,且外接合墊207可與內接合墊205具有相同間距。平行連接121(或平行連接221)可具有小於、約等於或大於外接合墊107的尺寸的寬度W4。舉例而言,圖5B繪示具有小於外接合墊107的直徑的平行連接121的寬度W4。在一些實施例中,平行連接121可具有在約500奈米與約3500奈米之間的寬度W4或在約7000奈米與約12000奈米之間的長度L5。圖5B將平行連接121(及平行連接221)繪示為具有矩形形狀,但在其他實施例中,平行連接121(或平行連接221)可沿其長度具有大於一個寬度W4或具有不同形狀,諸如彎曲形狀、梯形形狀、具有一或多個錐形部分的形狀、不規則形狀或另一形狀。舉例而言,除平行連接121與外接合墊安置於不同的層中之外,平行連接121及外接合墊107可具有類似於先前相對於圖3B至圖3E所描述的組態或配置。在一些實施例中,接合半導體元件可包含具有與外接合墊處於相同層中的平行連接的外接合結構以及具有與外接合墊處於不同的層中的平行連接的外接合結構。在一些實施例中,外接合結構可具有與外接合墊安置於相同層中的一或多個平行連接以及與外接合墊安置於不同的層中的一或多個平行連接。
在圖5A至圖5B中所繪示的實施例中,外接合墊107及平行連接121安置於接合層106的外層中。外接合墊107及平行連接121的頂部表面實質上共面且包含未由接合層106覆蓋的部分。以此方式,當半導體元件100接合至晶圓200時,外接合墊107及平行連接121均可用於外接合結構120以形成電連接。舉例而言,晶圓200的外接合結構220可包含安置於介電層206的外層中的外接合墊207及平行連接221以與外接合結構120進行電連接。在一些實施例中,半導體元件100的外接合結構120接合至晶圓200的對應接合特徵(諸如外接合結構220、一或多個接合墊或其他類型的特徵)以形成電連接。
藉由使用平行連接121電性連接多個外接合墊107,接合電連接的接觸區域可增大,此可在存在未對準時減小接合電連接的接觸電阻。以此方式,可在存在未對準時減小靠近半導體元件的邊緣的因未對準所致的接合電連接的接觸電阻。另外,藉由將平行連接121與外接合墊107安置於不同的層中,外接合墊107的間距及分佈可類似於內接合墊105的間距,且因此半導體元件100的整個接合表面可具有更均一分佈的表面特徵。在一些情況下,以此方式的更均一分佈的表面特徵可允許例如在平坦化製程之後的更均一平坦度,此可允許改良表面之間的接合。因此,本文中的實施例可允許在未顯著降低接合品質的情況下改良接合元件之間的電連接。

在圖7B中,使用例如直接接合或混合接合將頂部元件702接合至封裝組件710。在進行接合之前,可對頂部元件702或封裝組件710進行表面處理。在一些實施例中,表面處理包含電漿處理。電漿處理可在真空環境(例如真空腔室,未繪示)中進行。用於產生電漿的處理氣體可為含氫氣氣體,所述含氫氣氣體包含:包含氫氣(H2)及氬氣(argon;Ar)的第一氣體;包含H2及氮氣(N2)的第二氣體;或包含H2及氦氣(helium;He)的第三氣體。電漿處理亦可使用純的或實質上純的H2、Ar或N2作為處理氣體來進行,所述處理氣體處理內接合墊706及內接合墊716以及外接合結構708及外接合結構718以及接合層703及接合層713的表面。可用相同表面處理製程或用不同的表面處理製程來處理頂部元件702及封裝組件710。在一些實施例中,可在表面處理之後清洗頂部元件702及/或封裝組件710。清洗可包含進行化學清洗及去離子水清洗/沖洗。
接下來,可使用頂部元件702及封裝組件710進行預接合製程。將頂部元件702與封裝組件710對準,其中頂部元件702的內接合墊706對準至封裝組件710的內接合墊716,且頂部元件702的外接合結構708對準至封裝組件710的外接合結構718。在對準之後,將頂部元件702及封裝組件710抵靠彼此按壓。在一些實施例中,按壓力可為每晶粒小於約5牛頓(Newtons),但亦可使用更大或更小的力。預接合製程可在室溫下(例如,在約21℃至約25℃的溫度下)進行,但可使用更高溫度。舉例而言,預接合時間可為短於約1分鐘。
在預接合之後,頂部元件702的接合層703與封裝組件 710的接合層713彼此接合。在下文中,將頂部元件702及封裝組件710組合地稱為接合對750。可在後續退火步驟中強化接合對750的接合。舉例而言,可在約300℃至約400℃的溫度下使接合對750退火。舉例而言,退火可進行約1小時至約2小時的一段時間。在退火期間,內接合墊706及內接合墊716中的以及外接合結構708及外接合結構718中的金屬可彼此擴散以使亦形成金屬至金屬接合。因此,在頂部元件702與封裝組件710之間產生的接合可為混合接合。
如圖7C中所繪示,接著使每一接合對750單體化。舉例而言,可使用一或多個鋸條(saw blades)使接合對750單體化。然而,亦可利用任何適合的單體化方法,包含雷射切除或一或多種濕式蝕刻。在一些情況下,頂部元件702及/或封裝組件710可在單體化之前薄化。

一旦已形成第一重佈線鈍化層1001,則可形成穿過第一重佈線鈍化層1001的第一重佈線通孔1003以便與接合對750及介電穿孔727進行電連接。在一些實施例中,可藉由使用金屬鑲嵌製程、雙金屬鑲嵌製程或另一製程形成第一重佈線通孔1003。在已形成第一重佈線通孔1003之後,第一重佈線層1005形成於 第一重佈線通孔1003上方且與所述第一重佈線通孔電連接。在一些實施例中,可藉由首先經由適合的形成製程(諸如CVD或濺鍍)形成鈦銅合金的晶種層(未繪示)來形成第一重佈線層1005。接著可形成用以覆蓋晶種層的光阻(亦未繪示),且接著可使光阻圖案化以暴露晶種層的定位於第一重佈線層1005所需定位的位置的彼等部分。
一旦光阻已形成且經圖案化,則諸如銅的導電材料可經由諸如鍍覆的沉積製程形成於晶種層上。導電材料可形成為具有在約1微米與約10微米之間(諸如約4微米)的厚度。然而,雖然所論述的材料及方法適合於形成導電材料,但此等材料僅為例示性的。可替代地使用任何其他適合的材料(諸如AlCu或Au)及任何其他適合的形成製程(諸如CVD或PVD)以形成第一重佈線層1005。
在已形成第一重佈線層1005之後,第二重佈線鈍化層1007可形成且經圖案化以幫助分隔第一重佈線層1005。在一些實施例中,第二重佈線鈍化層1007可類似於第一重佈線鈍化層1001,諸如為正型PBO,或可不同於第一重佈線鈍化層1001,諸如為負型材料(諸如低溫固化聚醯亞胺)。可將第二重佈線鈍化層1007置放為具有約7微米的厚度。一旦處於適當位置,則可使用例如微影罩幕及蝕刻製程來使第二重佈線鈍化層1007圖案化以形成開口,或若第二重佈線鈍化層1007的材料為感光性的,則暴露第二重佈線鈍化層1007的材料且使其顯影。然而,可利用任何適合的材料及方法。

在已形成第三重佈線層1013之後,可在第三重佈線層1013上方形成第四重佈線鈍化層1015以便幫助分隔及保護第三 重佈線層1013。在一些實施例中,第四重佈線鈍化層1015可與第二重佈線鈍化層1007由類似材料及以類似方式形成。舉例而言,第四重佈線鈍化層1015可由已如上文關於第二重佈線鈍化層1007所描述的塗覆且圖案化的PBO或低溫固化聚醯亞胺形成。在一些實施例中,第四重佈線鈍化層1015形成為約8微米的厚度。然而,可利用任何適合的材料或製造製程。
在其他實施例中,可使用諸如雙金屬鑲嵌製程的金屬鑲嵌製程形成重佈線結構1000的重佈線通孔及重佈線層。舉例而言,第一重佈線鈍化層可形成於密封體729上方。接著使用一或多個微影步驟使第一重佈線鈍化層圖案化以在第一重佈線鈍化層內形成通孔的開口及導電線的開口兩者。導電材料可形成於通孔的開口及導電線的開口中以形成第一重佈線通孔及第一重佈線層。額外重佈線鈍化層可形成於第一重佈線鈍化層上方,且重佈線通孔及導電線的額外集合可形成於如針對第一重佈線鈍化層所描述的額外重佈線鈍化層中,形成重佈線結構1000。可使用此技術或其他技術以形成重佈線結構1000。
圖7G另外示出形成凸塊下金屬化物1019及第三外部連接件1017以與第三重佈線層1013進行電接觸。在一些實施例中,凸塊下金屬化物1019可各自包括三個導電材料層,諸如鈦層、銅層以及鎳層。然而,所屬技術領域中具有通常知識者將認識到,存在適合於形成凸塊下金屬化物1019的許多適合的材料及層的配置,諸如鉻/鉻銅合金/銅/金的配置、鈦/鈦鎢/銅的配置,或銅/鎳/金的配置。可用於凸塊下金屬化物1019的任何適合的材料或材料層全部意欲包含於實施例的範圍內。
在一些實施例中,凸塊下金屬化物1019藉由在第三重佈線層1013上方且沿穿過第四重佈線鈍化層1015的開口內部形成每一層來產生。可使用諸如電化學鍍覆的鍍覆製程來進行每一層的形成,但取決於所需材料,可使用其他形成製程,諸如濺鍍、蒸鍍或PECVD製程。凸塊下金屬化物1019可形成為具有在約0.7微米與約10微米之間(諸如約5微米)的厚度。
在一些實施例中,可將第三外部連接件1017置放於凸塊下金屬化物1019上,且所述第三外部連接件可為包括諸如焊料的共晶材料的球柵陣列封裝(ball grid array;BGA),但可替代地使用任何適合的材料。在第三外部連接件1017為焊料球的一些實施例中,可使用諸如直接落球製程的落球方法形成第三外部連接件1017。在另一實施例中,可藉由首先經由諸如蒸鍍、電鍍、印刷、焊料轉移的任何適合的方法形成錫層,且接著進行回焊以使材料成形為所需凸塊形狀來形成焊料球。一旦已形成第三外部連接件1017,則可進行測試以確保結構適合於進一步處理。
接著使聚合物層725圖案化以便暴露介電穿孔727。在一些實施例中,可使用例如雷射鑽孔方法使聚合物層725圖案化。在此方法中,首先在聚合物層725上方沉積諸如光熱轉換(LTHC)層或水溶性保護膜(hogomax)層的保護層(未在圖7H中獨立示出)。一旦經保護,則將雷射導向聚合物層725的需要移除以便暴露底層介電穿孔727的彼等部分。在雷射鑽孔製程期間,鑽孔能量可在自0.1毫焦至約30毫焦範圍內,且相對於聚合物層725的法線的鑽孔角度為約0度(垂直於聚合物層725)至約85度。在一些實施例中,圖案化可形成為在介電穿孔727上方形成具有在 約100微米與約300微米之間(諸如約200微米)的寬度的開口。
在另一實施例中,可藉由以下步驟來使聚合物層725圖案化:首先將光阻(未在圖7H中單獨示出)塗覆於聚合物層725且接著使光阻暴露於圖案化能量源(例如,圖案化光源)以便誘發化學反應,藉此誘發光阻的暴露於圖案化光源的彼等部分的物理變化。接著將顯影劑塗覆於暴露的光阻以利用所述物理變化且取決於所需圖案來選擇性地移除光阻的暴露部分或光阻的未暴露部分,且使用例如乾式蝕刻製程來移除聚合物層725的底層暴露部分。然而,可利用用於使聚合物層725圖案化的任何其他適合的方法。
圖7H示出封裝1100經由聚合物層725接合至介電穿孔727。在接合封裝1100之前,自聚合物層725移除載體基底721及黏著劑層723。亦使聚合物層725圖案化以暴露介電穿孔727。在一些實施例中,封裝1100可包含額外基底、額外半導體元件、內部連接、中介層等。額外半導體元件可包含設計用於預期用途的一或多個半導體元件,諸如為記憶體晶粒(例如,DRAM晶粒)、邏輯晶粒、中央處理單元(central processing unit;CPU)晶粒、此等的組合,或類似者。在一些實施例中,一或多個額外半導體元件視特定功能性的需要而在其中包含積體電路元件,諸如電晶體、電容器、電感器、電阻器、第一金屬化層(未繪示)以及類似者。在一些實施例中,額外半導體元件中的一或多者經設計及製造成與接合對750一起或與所述接合對同時運行。密封體1103可用以密封及保護封裝1100。
在一些實施例中,可形成外部連接1101以在封裝1100與 例如介電穿孔727之間提供外部連接。外部連接1101可為接觸凸塊,諸如微凸塊或受控塌陷晶粒連接(controlled collapse chip connection;C4)凸塊,且可包括諸如錫的材料,或諸如銀或銅的其他適合的材料。在外部連接1101為錫焊料凸塊的一些實施例中,外部連接1101可藉由首先經由任何適合的方法(諸如蒸鍍、電鍍、印刷、焊料轉移、植球等)形成例如約100微米厚度的錫層來形成。一旦錫層已形成於結構上,則進行回焊以便使材料成形為所需凸塊形狀。
一旦已形成外部連接1101,則將外部連接1101與介電穿孔727對準且置放於所述介電穿孔上方,並進行接合。舉例而言,在外部連接1101為焊料凸塊的一些實施例中,接合製程可包括回焊製程,外部連接1101的溫度藉此升高至外部連接1101將液化及流動的點,藉此在外部連接1101重新固化時將封裝1100接合至介電穿孔727。
實施例可達成優點。在一些實施例中,靠近元件的邊緣的接合墊平行連接。藉由針對單個電連接使用多個連接接合墊,電連接的可用接合區域增大了。在接合製程期間,增大的接合區域可減小因接合墊的未對準或元件的翹曲所致的接觸電阻。另外,連接接合墊可形成為與其他未連接接合墊(諸如靠近元件的中心的彼等接合墊)具有相同間距。藉由保持形成於元件上的接合墊的恆定間距,可達成更大的製程均一性。舉例而言,更均一的接合墊間距可在平坦化製程之後產生更平坦的表面。在一些實施例中,連接接合墊可用於接合元件之間的電源或接地電連接。
