- In order to transfer heat from a Si substrate which is a main structure of a semiconductor chip of LSI, to a heat dissipation body such as Cu which is used as a heat dissipation material, a metal bonding material called TIM (Thermal Interface Material) is used as a bonding sheet. As a material of the bonding sheet, In or solder is used. In and solder have a thermal conductivity of around 50 (W/m·K), which is lower than 168 of Si and 398 of Cu. Accordingly, thermal resistance is generated at the time of heat dissipation, which is a cause of deterioration of heat dissipation efficiency. CNT having a thermal conductivity of over 1000 has been reported. Methods to use it as the heat dissipation material include a method of mixing CNT with rubber or resin, but thermal conductivity of the mixture is far lower than when CNT is used by itself. Further, in some case, CNTs are directly bonded, but due to a low density of the CNTs, actual thermal conductivity as TIM is about 75, which is little different from those of the conventional materials. In this case, gaps between the CNTs can be filled with conductive resin, but this has problems that orientation of the CNTs becomes disordered or thermal conductivity as a composite structure is low due to a low thermal conductivity of the resin.
- A bonding sheet of an embodiment includes: a sheet-shaped support film; a plurality of carbon nanotubes which stand side by side, with one end of each being connected to a surface of the support film; and a metal which fills gaps each present between adjacent ones of the carbon nanotubes.
- A heat dissipation mechanism of an embodiment includes: a heat dissipation body; and a bonding sheet which is bonded to a surface of the heat dissipation body, the bonding sheet including a plurality of carbon nanotubes which stand side by side, with a tip of each being connected to the surface of the heat dissipation body; and a metal which fills gaps each present between adjacent ones of the carbon nanotubes.
- A manufacturing method of a bonding sheet of an embodiment includes: forming a plurality of carbon nanotubes which stand side by side from a base substance; forming a sheet-shaped support film which covers upper ends of the carbon nanotubes; and filling gaps each present between adjacent ones of the carbon nanotubes with a metal.
- A manufacturing method of a bonding sheet of an embodiment includes: growing pieces of vertical graphene which stand in a direction vertical to a surface of a base substance and are densely superimposed on one another, and subsequently growing a plurality of carbon nanotubes standing side by side whose upper ends are connected to lower ends of the pieces of vertical graphene; and filling gaps each present between adjacent ones of the carbon nanotubes with a metal.
- A manufacturing method of a heat dissipation mechanism of an embodiment includes: forming a plurality of carbon nanotubes which stand side by side from a base substance; filling gaps each present between adjacent ones of the carbon nanotubes with a metal in a state where tips of the carbon nanotubes abut on a surface of a heat dissipation body; and heat-treating the carbon nanotubes and the metal.
- The object and advantages of the invention will be realized and attained by means of the elements and combinations particularly pointed out in the claims.
- It is to be understood that both the foregoing general description and the following detailed description are exemplary and explanatory and are not restrictive of the invention.

- First, the structure of the bonding sheet according to this embodiment will be described together with the manufacturing method thereof.
- As illustrated in
FIG. 1A , asilicon oxide film 12 is formed on abase substance 11. - As the
base substance 11, a Si substrate is prepared, for instance. A SiC substrate, any of various insulating substrates, or the like may be used instead of the Si substrate. - The
silicon oxide film 12, for example, is formed on thebase substance 11 by a CVD method or the like. - Subsequently, as illustrated in
FIG. 1B , carbon nanotubes (CNTs) 14 are grown on thesilicon oxide film 12. - In detail, a catalytic material is first deposited on the
silicon oxide film 12 to, for example, an about few nm thickness by a vacuum deposition method or the like. As the catalytic material, one kind or two kinds or more of materials selected from Co, Ni, Fe, Al, and the like, or a mixed material of one kind or two kinds or more of these and one kind or two kinds or more selected from Ti, TiN, TiO2, V, and the like is used. For example, Co/Ti or Co/V is selected. Consequently,catalysts 13 are formed on thesilicon oxide film 12. - Next, a CNT growth process is executed by, for example, a thermal CVD method while a growth temperature is set equal to or lower than sublimation temperatures of the substrate material and the catalytic material, here, set to about 800° C., for instance. Consequently, the
plural CNTs 14 are formed side by side so as to stand from thecatalysts 13 present on thesilicon oxide film 12. - Subsequently, as illustrated in
FIG. 1C , asupport film 15 is formed on upper ends of theCNTs 14. - In detail, a conductive material such as Au or an Au—Sn alloy, here Au, is deposited on the upper ends of the
CNTs 14 by, for example, a vapor deposition method. Consequently, thesupport film 15 connected to the upper ends of theCNTs 14 is formed on theCNTs 14. - Subsequently, as illustrated in
FIG. 1D toFIG. 2B , a CNT-metal composite structure is formed. - In this embodiment, as
fine metal particles 16, fine particles (about 10 nm diameter) of a conductive material having a high thermal conductivity, for example, one kind selected from Cu, Ag, Au, In, solder, and the like, for example, Cu, are used. Thefine metal particles 16 are dispersed in an organic solvent such as toluene or xylene to prepare a solution. This solution is supplied to theCNTs 14 by dropping, spin coating, or immersion. In this embodiment, a case where, for example, the immersion is performed is exemplified. - First, as illustrated in
FIG. 1D , thebase substance 11 on which theCNTs 14 and thesupport film 15 are formed is immersed (first immersion) in a solution tank having the aforesaid solution. By the immersion, the solution infiltrates into gaps between theadjacent CNTs 14. After thebase substance 11 is taken out of the solution tank, thebase substance 11 is dried. At this time, due to the evaporation of the organic solvent, theCNTs 14 try to come into close contact with one another to approach one another. However, in this embodiment, since theCNTs 14 are fixedly connected to thesilicon oxide film 12 of thebase substance 11 at their lower ends and to thesupport film 15 at their upper ends, they are apart from one another without the occurrence of the close contact of theadjacent CNTs 14. Accordingly, thefine metal particles 16 enter the gaps between theadjacent CNTs 14, and thefine metal particles 16 adhere to theplural CNTs 14 uniformly as a whole. - Next, as illustrated in
FIG. 2A , thebase substance 11 on which theCNTs 14 and thesupport film 15 are formed is immersed (second immersion) again in the aforesaid solution tank. By the immersion, the solution infiltrates into the gaps between theadjacent CNTs 14, so that theCNTs 14 which are distorted with their center portions approaching one another due to the drying of thebase substance 11 return to the original standing state. After thebase substance 11 is taken out of the solution tank, thebase substance 11 is dried. At this time, even when the organic solvent evaporates, the approach between theCNTs 14 is suppressed and theCNTs 14 are kept substantially upright since thefine metal particles 16 fill the gaps between theadjacent CNTs 14 with a higher density than at the time of the first immersion. Thefine metal particles 16 distribute on theplural CNTs 14 uniformly as a whole with a higher density than at the time of the first immersion. - Next, as illustrated in
FIG. 2B , thebase substance 11 on which theCNTs 14 and thesupport film 15 are formed is immersed (third immersion) again in the aforesaid solution tank. By the immersion, the solution infiltrates into the gaps between theadjacent CNTs 14. After thebase substance 11 is taken out of the solution tank, thebase substance 11 is dried. At this time, thefine metal particles 16 fill up areas between theadjacent CNTs 14 with almost no space therebetween, and the gaps between theCNTs 14 are filled with thefine metal particles 16, so that afiller metal 17 of Cu is formed. Through the above, the CNT-metal composite structure in which the gaps between theCNTs 14 are filled with thefiller metal 17 is formed. - Incidentally, though the case where the CNT-metal composite structure is formed by performing the immersion three times is exemplified in this embodiment, there may be a case where the CNT-metal composite structure is formed by performing the immersion, for example, twice, or a case where the CNT-metal composite structure is formed by performing the immersion a predetermined number of times equal to or more than four times, depending on a difference in the kind and concentration of the fine particles in the solution, an immersion condition, and so on.
- Subsequently, as illustrated in
FIG. 2C , thebase substance 11 and thecatalysts 13 are removed. - In detail, the
silicon oxide film 12 is first separated from thecatalysts 13 on which theCNTs 14 are formed, by using buffered hydrofluoric acid (BHF). Consequently, thebase substance 11 is removed together with thesilicon oxide film 12. - Next, the
catalysts 13 are processed by using a FeCl3 aqueous solution or a chemical solution of HCl or the like. Consequently, thecatalysts 13 are removed from theCNTs 14. - Through the above, the bonding sheet including the CNT-metal composite structure on whose one end surface the sheet-shaped
support film 15 is formed and which is composed of theCNTs 14 and thefiller metal 17 is formed. The bonding sheet functions as TIM when a semiconductor chip is bonded to a heat dissipation body such as Cu. - In the bonding sheet according to this embodiment, the CNT-metal composite structure composed of the
CNTs 14 and thefiller metal 17 has a very high thermal conductivity of, for example, about 100 W/(m·K). Therefore, when the bonding sheet is used as TIM, excellent heat dissipation of the semiconductor chip or the like is realized without any deterioration of heat dissipation efficiency of the heat dissipation body such as Cu. - Here, a comparative example of this embodiment is illustrated in
FIG. 3A andFIG. 3B . - In the comparative example, various steps similar to those in
FIG. 1A toFIG. 1C of this embodiment are first performed. Consequently, acatalytic material 103 such as Co is formed on asilicon oxide film 102 present on abase substance 101 such as a Si substrate. A plurality ofCNTs 104 are formed side by side from thiscatalytic material 103. - Subsequently, in order to form a CNT-metal composite structure, the
base substance 101 on which theCNTs 104 are formed is immersed in a solution tank having a solution similar to that of this embodiment, as inFIG. 2B of this embodiment. After thebase substance 101 is taken out of the solution tank, thebase substance 101 is dried. At this time, since upper ends of theCNTs 104 are not fixed, theCNTs 104 approach one another to come into close contact with one another due to the evaporation of an organic solvent, to become into a bundle (bundled). At this time, fine metal particles cannot enter the bundled portion of theCNTs 104, and thefine metal particles 16 adhere to theplural CNTs 104 while locally present only near lower ends of theCNTs 104. In this case, even the re-immersion in the solution tank does not eliminate the restriction by the bundling, so that the CNT-metal composite structure is formed in a non-uniform state in which thefine metal particles 16 distribute unevenly only near the lower ends of theCNTs 104. - In the comparative example, since the CNT-metal composite structure is formed in the non-uniform state in which the metal (Cu) distributes unevenly, thermal conductivity deteriorates as a whole.
- On the other hand, in this embodiment, in the CNT-metal composite structure composed of the
CNTs 14 and thefiller metal 17, the metal (Cu) fills the gaps between theCNTs 14 to uniformly distribute as a whole as described above. This realizes a very high thermal conductivity. - As described above, according to this embodiment, the highly reliable bonding sheet very excellent in heat dissipation efficiency is realized.
- —Semiconductor Device and Manufacturing Method Thereof—
- Next, the structure of the semiconductor device using the above-described bonding sheet will be described together with the manufacturing method thereof. Here, the bonding sheet fabricated in this embodiment is referred to as a
bonding sheet 10. - As illustrated in
FIG. 4A , thebonding sheet 10 is bonded to aheat dissipation body 21. - As the
heat dissipation body 21, a heat sink of, for example, Cu is prepared. Alayer 22 of a conductive material such as Au or an AuSn alloy, here, Au, is formed on a surface of theheat dissipation body 21 by, for example, a vapor deposition method. - An In
layer 23, for instance, is mounted on theAu layer 22, and thebonding sheet 10 fabricated as described above is disposed, with thesupport film 15 abutting on theIn layer 23 so as to face the Inlayer 23. By performing heat treatment at, for example, about 200° C. in this state, thebonding sheet 10 is bonded to the surface of theheat dissipation body 21, whereby aheat dissipation mechanism 20 is structured. - Next, a
layer 24 of a conductive material such as Au or an Au—Sn alloy, here, Au, is formed on thebonding sheet 10 by, for example, a vapor deposition method. For example, an Inlayer 25 is mounted on thisAu layer 24. - Subsequently, as illustrated in
FIG. 4B andFIG. 5 , asemiconductor chip 30 is bonded to thebonding sheet 10. Incidentally, in consideration of easier view of the drawing, the illustration of thesupport film 15, the Au layers 22, 24, 26, and the In layers 23, 25 is omitted inFIG. 5 . - The
semiconductor chip 30 is prepared. In thesemiconductor chip 30, anelement layer 28 is formed on aSi substrate 27. In theelement layer 28, various functional elements such as, for example,MIS transistors 31 are formed, and in an upper layer thereof,wiring structures 33 connected to theMIS transistors 31 are formed in aninterlayer insulating film 32. In theSi substrate 27, throughvias 29 for heat dissipation penetrating through theSi substrate 27 are formed. - On a rear surface of the
semiconductor chip 30, alayer 26 of a conductive material such as Au or an Au—Sn alloy, here, Au, is formed by, for example, a vapor deposition method. TheAu layer 26 formed on thesemiconductor chip 30 is disposed so as to abut on theIn layer 25. By performing heat treatment at, for example, about 200° C. in this state, thesemiconductor chip 30 is bonded to the top of thebonding sheet 10. Through the above, the semiconductor device according to this embodiment in which thesemiconductor chip 30 is bonded to theheat dissipation mechanism 20 is formed. - In the semiconductor device according to this embodiment, the through
vias 29 for heat dissipation connect thewiring structures 33 in theelement layer 28 and thebonding sheet 10, so that heat generated in theelement layer 28 is dissipated to thebonding sheet 10 and theheat dissipation body 21 via the throughvias 29 for heat dissipation. In this embodiment, thebonding sheet 10 being TIM for bonding thesemiconductor chip 30 to theheat dissipation body 21 has a very high thermal conductivity.

FIG. 6A toFIG. 7D are schematic sectional views to explain the manufacturing method of the bonding sheet according to the modification example of the first embodiment, in order of steps. -
FIG. 8A andFIG. 8B are schematic sectional views to explain the manufacturing method of the semiconductor device to which the bonding sheet according to the modification example of the first embodiment is applied, in order of steps, andFIG. 9 is a perspective view illustrating a schematic structure of the semiconductor device corresponding toFIG. 8B . - First, as illustrated in
FIG. 6A , afoundation 42 is formed on abase substance 41. - As the
base substance 41, a Si substrate is prepared, for instance. A SiC substrate, any of various insulating substrates, or the like may be used instead of the Si substrate. - The
base substance 41 is carried to a deposition chamber of a vacuum process system. In the deposition chamber, afirst layer 42 a and asecond layer 42 b are sequentially stacked on thebase substance 41 by a vacuum deposition method, a sputtering method, an ALD (Atomic Layer Deposition) method, or the like. - The
first layer 42 a is made of at least one kind selected from titanium (Ti), titanium nitride (TiN), titanium oxide (TiO2), niobium (Nb), and vanadium (V), and is formed in a film form. For example, Ti is deposited to an about 0.5 nm to about 1.5 nm thickness, so that thefirst layer 42 a is formed. Thefirst layer 42 a has an adhesive function between thesecond layer 42 b and thebase substance 41. - The
second layer 42 b is made of at least one kind selected from cobalt (Co), nickel (Ni), and iron (Fe), and comes to have a film shape after its formation. For example, Co is deposited to an about 2 nm to about 5 nm thickness, so that thesecond layer 42 b is formed. Thesecond layer 42 b has a direct catalytic function for graphene growth. - Subsequently, an integrated structure of a support film, which includes lateral-direction graphene and longitudinal-direction graphene, and CNTs is continuously formed.
- In detail, the
base substance 41 is carried to a CVD chamber. Source gas is introduced into the CVD chamber. As the source gas, acetylene (C2H2) gas is used. A flow rate of the C2H2 gas is set to about 50 sccm. A growth temperature (environmental temperature in the CVD chamber 104) is set to a value within a low-temperature range of 400° C. to 450° C., here, set to about 450° C., and the temperature is increased to 450° C. - The graphene grows in a horizontal direction (lateral direction) to the surface of the
base substance 41 by using the Co film of thesecond layer 42 b as a catalyst. This graphene will be referred to as lateral-direction graphene 43. The lateral-direction graphene 43 is stacked in one layer or a plurality of layers. A state at this time is illustrated inFIG. 6B . - As the growth of the lateral-
direction graphene 43 progresses, the Co film of thesecond layer 42 b aggregates to become particulate or island-shaped Co. In this case, since Co is in the particulate shape or in the island shape, the graphene grows in a vertical direction (longitudinal direction) to the surface of thebase substance 41. This graphene will be referred to as longitudinal-direction graphene 44. The longitudinal-direction graphene 44 is formed integrally with the lateral-direction graphene 43 by being connected to the lateral-direction graphene 43 at its upper end, and is stacked in a plurality of layers which stand in the vertical direction and are densely superimposed on one another. A state at this time is illustrated inFIG. 6C . - Subsequently, while the introduction of the source gas is continued, the growth temperature (environmental temperature in the CVD chamber 104) is set to a value within a high-temperature range of 250° C. to 1000° C., here set to about 800° C., and the temperature is gradually increased from 450° C. up to 800° C. At this time, the aggregation of the particulate or island-shaped Co of the
second layer 42 b further progresses, so that Co of thesecond layer 42 b starts to become fine particles (those that have become fine are illustrated ascatalysts 46 inFIG. 6D ), andCNTs 47 grow in the vertical direction (longitudinal direction) to the surface of thesilicon base substance 41. TheCNTs 47 are formed integrally, with their upper ends being connected to lower ends of the pieces of longitudinal-direction graphene 44, and theplural CNTs 47 densely stand in the vertical direction. A state at this time is illustrated inFIG. 6D . It is possible to change the thickness of theCNTs 47 by changing a temperature increase rate (temperature gradient) when the temperature is increased from 450° C. to 800° C. Setting the temperature gradient gentle makes theCNTs 47 have a large diameter. On the other hand, setting the temperature gradient steep makes theCNTs 47 have a small diameter. - In the above-described manner, the integrated structure of the
support film 45, which is composed of the lateral-direction graphene 43 and the longitudinal-direction graphene 44, and theCNTs 47 is formed. It has been confirmed that, in this integrated structure, the plural pieces of longitudinal-direction graphene 44 are formed very densely under the lateral-direction graphene 43, and theCNTs 47 are formed very densely under the longitudinal-direction graphene 44. - Subsequently, as illustrated in
FIG. 7A toFIG. 7C , a CNT-metal composite structure is formed. - In this example, as
fine metal particles 48, fine particles (about 10 nm diameter) of a conductive material high in thermal conductivity, for example, one kind selected from Cu, Ag, Au, In, solder, and the like, for example, Cu are used. Thefine metal particles 48 are dispersed in an organic solvent such as toluene or xylene to prepare a solution. This solution is supplied to theCNTs 47 by dropping, spin coating, or immersion. In this example, a case where, for example, the immersion is performed is exemplified. - First, as illustrated in
FIG. 7A , thebase substance 41 on which theCNTs 47 and thesupport film 45 are formed is immersed (first immersion) in a solution tank having the aforesaid solution. By the immersion, the solution infiltrates into gaps between theadjacent CNTs 47. After thebase substance 41 is taken out of the solution tank, thebase substance 41 is dried. At this time, due to the evaporation of the organic solvent, theCNTs 47 try to come into close contact with one another to approach one another. However, in this example, since theCNTs 47 are fixedly connected to thefoundation 42 of thebase substance 41 at their lower ends and to thesupport film 45 at their upper ends, they are apart from one another without the occurrence of the close contact of theadjacent CNTs 47. Accordingly, thefine metal particles 48 enter the gaps between theadjacent CNTs 47, and thefine metal particles 48 adhere to theplural CNTs 47 uniformly as a whole. - Next, as illustrated in
FIG. 7B , thebase substance 41 on which theCNTs 47 and thesupport film 45 are formed is immersed (second immersion) again in the aforesaid solution tank. By the immersion, the solution infiltrates into the gaps between theadjacent CNTs 47, so that theCNTs 47 which are distorted with their center portions approaching one another due to the drying of thebase substance 41 return to the original standing state. After thebase substance 41 is taken out of the solution tank, thebase substance 41 is dried. At this time, even when the organic solvent evaporates, the approach between theCNTs 47 is suppressed and theCNTs 47 are kept substantially upright since thefine metal particles 48 fill the gaps between theCNTs 47 with a higher density than at the time of the first immersion. Thefine metal particles 48 distribute on theplural CNTs 47 uniformly as a whole with a higher density than at the time of the first immersion. - Next, as illustrated in
FIG. 7C , thebase substance 41 on which theCNTs 47 and thesupport film 45 are formed is immersed (third immersion) again in the aforesaid solution tank. By the immersion, the solution infiltrates into the gaps between theadjacent CNTs 47. After thebase substance 41 is taken out of the solution tank, thebase substance 41 is dried. At this time, thefine metal particles 48 fill up areas between theadjacent CNTs 47 with almost no space therebetween, and the gaps between theCNTs 47 are filled with thefine metal particles 48, so that afiller metal 49 of Cu is formed. Through the above, the CNT-metal composite structure in which the gaps between theCNTs 47 are filled with thefiller metal 49 is formed. - Incidentally, though the case where the CNT-metal composite structure is formed by performing the immersion three times is exemplified in this example, there may be a case where the CNT-metal composite structure is formed by performing the immersion, for example, twice, or a case where the CNT-metal composite structure is formed by performing the immersion a predetermined number of times equal to or more than four times, depending on a difference in the kind and concentration of the fine particles in the solution, an immersion condition, and so on.
- Subsequently, as illustrated in
FIG. 7D , thebase substance 41, and thefoundation 42 and thecatalysts 46 are removed. - In detail, the
base substance 41 is first separated from thefoundation 42 by using buffered hydrofluoric acid (BHF). Consequently, thebase substance 41 is removed. - Next, the
foundation 42 and thecatalysts 46 are processed by using a FeCl3 aqueous solution or a chemical solution of HCl or the like. Consequently, thefoundation 42 and thecatalysts 46 are removed from theCNTs 47. - Through the above, the bonding sheet including the CNT-metal composite structure on whose one end surface the sheet-shaped
support film 45 is formed and which is composed of theCNTs 47 and thefiller metal 49 is formed. The bonding sheet functions as TIM when a semiconductor chip is bonded to a heat dissipation body such as Cu. - In the bonding sheet according to this example, the integrated structure of the
support film 45, which is composed of the lateral-direction graphene 43 and the longitudinal-direction graphene 44, and theCNTs 47 is formed with a very high density, and the CNT-metal composite structure composed of theCNTs 47 and thefiller metal 49 has a very high thermal conductivity of, for example, about 100 W/(m·K). Therefore, when this bonding sheet is used as TIM, excellent heat dissipation of the semiconductor chip or the like is realized without any deterioration of heat dissipation efficiency of the heat dissipation body such as Cu. - —Semiconductor Device and Manufacturing Method Thereof—
- Next, the structure of the semiconductor device using the above-described bonding sheet will be described together with the manufacturing method thereof. Here, the bonding sheet fabricated in this example is referred to as a
bonding sheet 40. - As illustrated in
FIG. 8A , thebonding sheet 40 is bonded to aheat dissipation body 21. - As the
heat dissipation body 21, a heat sink of, for example, Cu is prepared. Alayer 22 of a conductive material such as Au or an AuSn alloy, here, Au, is formed on a surface of theheat dissipation body 21 by, for example, a vapor deposition method. - An In
layer 23, for instance, is mounted on theAu layer 22, and thebonding sheet 40 fabricated as described above is disposed, with thesupport film 45 abutting on theIn layer 23 so as to face the Inlayer 23. By performing heat treatment at, for example, about 200° C. in this state, thebonding sheet 40 is bonded to the surface of theheat dissipation body 21, whereby aheat dissipation mechanism 20 is structured. - Next, a
layer 24 of a conductive material such as Au or an Au—Sn alloy, here, Au, is formed on thebonding sheet 40 by, for example, a vapor deposition method. For example, an Inlayer 25 is mounted on thisAu layer 24. - Subsequently, as illustrated in
FIG. 8B andFIG. 9 , asemiconductor chip 30 is bonded to thebonding sheet 40. Incidentally, in consideration of easier view of the drawing, the illustration of thesupport film 45, the Au layers 22, 24, 26, and the In layers 23, 25 is omitted inFIG. 9 . - The
semiconductor chip 30 is prepared. In thesemiconductor chip 30, anelement layer 28 is formed on aSi substrate 27. In theelement layer 28, various functional elements such as, for example,MIS transistors 31 are formed, and in an upper layer thereof,wiring structures 33 connected to theMIS transistors 31 are formed in aninterlayer insulating film 32. In theSi substrate 27, throughvias 29 for heat dissipation penetrating through theSi substrate 27 are formed. - On a rear surface of the
semiconductor chip 30, alayer 26 of a conductive material such as Au or an Au—Sn alloy, here, Au, is formed by, for example, a vapor deposition method. TheAu layer 26 formed on thesemiconductor chip 30 is disposed so as to abut on theIn layer 25. By performing heat treatment at, for example, about 200° C. in this state, thesemiconductor chip 30 is bonded to the top of thebonding sheet 40. Through the above, the semiconductor device according to this example in which thesemiconductor chip 30 is bonded to theheat dissipation mechanism 20 is formed. - In the semiconductor device according to this example, the through
vias 29 for heat dissipation connect thewiring structures 33 in theelement layer 28 and thebonding sheet 40, so that heat generated in theelement layer 28 is dissipated to thebonding sheet 40 and theheat dissipation body 21 via the throughvias 29 for heat dissipation. In this example, thebonding sheet 40 being TIM for bonding thesemiconductor chip 30 and theheat dissipation body 21 has a very high thermal conductivity. Therefore, excellent heat dissipation of thesemiconductor chip 30 is realized without any deterioration of heat dissipation efficiency of theheat dissipation body 21. - As described above, according to this example, the semiconductor device with a high heat dissipating property, that includes the highly reliable bonding sheet very excellent in heat dissipation efficiency is realized.

- First, the structure of the heat dissipation mechanism according to this embodiment will be described together with the manufacturing method thereof.
- As illustrated in
FIG. 10A , asilicon oxide film 52 is formed on abase substance 51. - As the
base substance 51, a Si substrate is prepared, for instance. A SiC substrate, any of various insulating substrates, or the like may be used instead of the Si substrate. - The
silicon oxide film 52 is formed on thebase substance 51 by, for example, a CVD method or the like. - Subsequently, as illustrated in
FIG. 10B ,CNTs 54 are grown on thesilicon oxide film 52. - In detail, a catalytic material is first deposited on the
silicon oxide film 52 to, for example, an about several nm thickness by a vacuum deposition method or the like. As the catalytic material, one kind or two kinds or more of materials selected from Co, Ni, Fe, Al, and the like, or a mixed material of one kind or two kinds or more of these and one kind or two kinds or more selected from Ti, TiN, TiO2, V, and the like is used. For example, Co/Ti or Co/V is selected. Consequently,catalysts 53 are formed on thesilicon oxide film 52. - Next, a CNT growth process is executed by, for example, a thermal CVD method while a growth temperature is set equal to or lower than sublimation temperatures of the substrate material and the catalytic material, here, set to about 800° C., for instance. Consequently, the
plural CNTs 54 are formed side by side so as to stand from thecatalysts 53 present on thesilicon oxide film 52. - Subsequently, as illustrated in
FIG. 10C , tips of theCNTs 54 are bonded to aheat dissipation body 55. - As the
heat dissipation body 55, a heat sink of, for example, Cu is prepared. Alayer 56 of a conductive material such as Au or an AuSn alloy, here, Au, is formed on a surface of theheat dissipation body 55 by, for example, a vapor deposition method. - An
Au layer 58 is formed on theAu layer 56 via, for example, an Inlayer 57. Then, theCNTs 54 are disposed, with their tips abutting on theAu layer 58 so as to face theAu layer 58. By performing heat treatment at, for example, about 200° C. in this state, the tips of theCNTs 54 are bonded to the surface of theheat dissipation body 51.

Accordingly, thefine metal particles 59 enter the gaps between theadjacent CNTs 54, and thefine metal particles 59 adhere to theplural CNTs 54 uniformly as a whole. - Next, as illustrated in
FIG. 11A , theheat dissipation body 55 to which theCNTs 54 are bonded is immersed (second immersion) again in the aforesaid solution tank. By the immersion, the solution infiltrates into the gaps between theadjacent CNTs 54, so that theCNTs 54 which are distorted with their center portions approaching one another due to the drying of theheat dissipation body 55 return to the original standing state. After theheat dissipation body 55 is taken out of the solution tank, theheat dissipation body 55 is dried. At this time, even when the organic solvent evaporates, the approach between theCNTs 54 is suppressed and theCNTs 54 are kept substantially upright since thefine metal particles 59 fill the gaps between theCNTs 54 with a higher density than at the time of the first immersion.

By the immersion, the solution infiltrates into the gaps between theadjacent CNTs 54. After theheat dissipation body 55 is taken out of the solution tank, theheat dissipation body 55 is dried. At this time, thefine metal particles 59 fill up areas between theadjacent CNTs 54 with almost no space therebetween, and the gaps between theCNTs 54 are filled with thefine metal particles 59, so that afiller metal 61 of Cu is formed. Through the above, the CNT-metal composite structure in which the gaps between theCNTs 54 are filled with thefiller metal 61 is formed. - Incidentally, though the case where the CNT-metal composite structure is formed by performing the immersion three times is exemplified in this embodiment, there may be a case where the CNT-metal composite structure is formed by performing the immersion, for example, twice, or a case where the CNT-metal composite structure is formed by performing the immersion a predetermined number of times equal to or more than four times, depending on a difference in the kind and concentration of the fine particles in the solution, an immersion condition, and so on.
- Subsequently, as illustrated in
FIG. 11C , thebase substance 51 and thecatalysts 53 are removed. - In detail, the
silicon oxide film 52 is first separated from thecatalysts 53 on which theCNTs 54 are formed, by using buffered hydrofluoric acid (BHF). Consequently, thebase substance 51 is removed together with thesilicon oxide film 52. - Next, the
catalysts 53 are processed by using a FeCl3 aqueous solution, a chemical solution of HCl or the like. Consequently, thecatalysts 53 are removed from theCNTs 54. - Through the above, the
heat dissipation mechanism 50 including abonding sheet 62 having the CNT-metal composite structure composed of theCNTs 54 and thefiller metal 61 is formed. In theheat dissipation mechanism 50, thebonding sheet 62 functions as TIM when a semiconductor chip is bonded. - In the
