- a ferroelectric memory circuit FRAM is formed at the center of the chip CP, and a pad PD is disposed at the peripheral edge of the chip CP.
- the surface of the opening force formed in the polyimide film is exposed to the knot. In this state, a probe needle was applied to the pad PD for inspection.
- FIG. 1B is a cross-sectional view schematically showing a configuration of a sample S1 prepared first.
- a lower interlayer insulating film is formed, and a ferroelectric capacitor in which a lower electrode LE, a ferroelectric film FD, and an upper electrode UE are stacked thereon is formed.
- a first interlayer insulating film IL1 made of silicon oxide is formed so as to cover the ferroelectric capacitor.
- a tungsten plug PL 1 is formed which penetrates the film IL1 and reaches the upper electrode UE and the lower electrode LE. Other tungsten plugs reaching the lower transistor are also formed.
- a first metal wiring Ml of an Al-Cu alloy is formed on the first interlayer insulating film IL1, and is covered with the second interlayer insulating film IL2.
- a tungsten plug PL2 that penetrates through the second interlayer insulating film IL2 and reaches the first metal wiring Ml is formed.
- the second metal wiring M2, the third interlayer insulating film IL3, and the tungsten plug PL3 are formed.
- a third metal wiring M 3 for forming the pad electrode PD is formed connected to the tungsten plug.
- the node has an exposed Al-Cu alloy surface.
- a cover film formed by stacking the first cover film CL1 of the silicon oxide film and the second cover film CL2 of the silicon nitride film is formed, and the opening exposing the pad PD is etched. Further, a photosensitive polyimide film PI is formed on the surface and exposed and developed to expose the pad PD surface. In this way, after forming a passivation film on the node electrode PD, the probe needle was applied for inspection, and then a gold (Au) stud bump SDB was disposed on the pad PD.
- FIG. 1C shows a configuration of sample S2 in which a plating bump is formed by gold plating instead of the stud bump.

Description
明 細 書
半導体装置
技術分野
[0001] 本発明は、半導体装置に関し、特に外部回路との接続や検査のためのノッドを有 する半導体装置に関する。
背景技術
[0002] 半導体集積回路装置において、回路部に水分が侵入すると、半導体集積回路装 置の性能が損なわれることはよく知られている。半導体集積回路装置の層間絶縁膜 は酸ィ匕シリコンで形成される場合が多い。酸ィ匕シリコンは水分との親和性が高いため 、多層配線の上に耐湿性を有するカバー膜が形成され、半導体チップ周縁に沿って 、耐湿リングを形成し、水分、水素の侵入を防止することが行なわれる。
[0003] 特開 2002— 270608号公報(出願人:富士通ヴィエルエスアイ)は、層間絶縁膜に 配線パターンとビア導電体とを埋め込むダマシン配線構造の半導体装置において、 チップ外周に沿った耐湿リングをビア導電体と同じ層で形成したビアリングと,配線パ ターンと同じ層で形成した配線リングとの積層で形成することを提案する。
[0004] 特開 2005— 175204号公報(出願人:富士通)は、パッドの内側に第 1の耐湿リン グを配し、パッドの外側に第2の耐湿リングを配することを提案する。導電性耐湿リン グの場合、パッドに接続する配線部では第 1の耐湿リングは切り欠かれる。
[0005] 近年、強誘電体キャパシタを用い、強誘電体の分極反転を利用して情報を記憶す る強誘電体メモリ (FeRAM)の開発が進められている。強誘電体メモリは電源を断つ ても記憶された情報が消失しない不揮発性メモリであり、高集積度、高速駆動、高耐 久性、および低消費電力の実現が期待できる。
[0006] 強誘電体メモリは、強誘電体のヒステリシス特性を利用して情報を記憶する。強誘 電体膜をキャパシタ誘電体膜として一対の電極間に挟んだ強誘電体キャパシタは、 電極間の印加電圧に応じて分極を生じ、印加電圧を取り去っても分極を維持する。 印加電圧の極性を反転すると、分極の極性も反転する。この分極を検出すれば、情 報を読み出すことができる。強誘電体膜の材料としては、残留分極量が大きな、例え

。特性の優れた酸化物強誘電体膜を形成するためには酸化性雰囲気中での成膜、 ないしは熱処理が必要であり、下部電極 (必要に応じて上部電極も)は酸ィ匕しにくい 貴金属や、酸化しても導電性である貴金属な ヽし貴金属酸ィ匕物で形成するものが多 い。
[0007] 外部から水分が浸入すると、水分は層間絶縁膜を通って配線、キャパシタ、トランジ スタなどに達することができる。キャパシタ、特に強誘電体キャパシタに水分が達する と、誘電体膜、特に強誘電体膜の特性が劣化する。強誘電体膜が浸入した水分に由 来する水素によって還元され、酸素欠陥が生じると結晶性が低下してしまう。残留分 極量や誘電率が低下するなどの特性劣化が生じる。長期間の使用によっても同様の 現象が生じる。水素が侵入すれば、水分より直接的に特性劣化を生じさせる。
[0008] 半導体集積回路装置は、最上配線層と同層又はその上に、検査のためのプローブ 針を当接したり、外部回路との接続のためのパッドを有する。パッドは、配線の他のパ ターンと比べて比較的大きな寸法を有し、ノ^ド上面は露出して、プローブ針を当接 したり、外部回路と接続できるようにされている。半導体集積回路装置を完成するま でには、複数回の検査を行い、最終的に良品と判定されたもののみをパッケージす る。テスト、外部との接続を行なうパッドは、露出した状態でなくてはならない。
[0009] 検査においてプローブ針をパッドに当てると、ノ^ドに傷が生じることがある。チップ 領域上にボンディング用等のパッドを配置し、より外側のスクライブ領域に検査用の ノッドを配置するスクライブパッドも知られている。検査用パッドは、検査後スクライブ 工程で切り離されるため、接続用のノ^ドは傷を受けることがない。しかし、スクライブ 領域に検査用パッドを、位置合わせマーク、テストエレメントグループ (TEG)などと共 に配置すると、スクライブパッドと回路を繋ぐために耐湿リングを切断する必要があり、 耐湿性低下を招くので、スクライブパッドは用いないことが望ましい。また、チップ内に 試験パッドとボンディングパッドを分けて配置し、試験後に試験パッドを保護膜で覆う 方法も用いるが、チップ内のパッド数が増えることで高集積ィ匕の妨げになる。
[0010] 強誘電体メモリを、タグ (TAG)、カードなどに用いる要請も強い。このような用途に
は、強誘電体メモリ装置のさらなる微細化が望まれる。

[0026] 図 1Dは、サンプル S2同様にアンダーノ リアメタル UBMまで形成し、金メッキは行 わず、金のスタッドバンプ SDBを配したサンプル S3の構成を示す。アンダーバリアメ タル UBMは、厚さ 175nmの Ti膜の上に厚さ 175nmの Pd膜を積層したものである。 この構成でも耐湿試験をパスした。
[0027] 図 2Aは、検査後のパッド表面のスケッチである。検査の針を当てたことによる傷が
観察される。
[0028] 図 2B, 2Cは、傷部分をより詳細に観察した結果を示す概略断面図である。図 2B は、パッド電極 PDが欠損しているところを示す。パッド電極 PDが薄くなつたり消滅し たりすることで、耐湿性が劣化し、水素、水分が浸入しやすくなつていると考えられる
[0029] 図 2Cは、パッド電極 PDに欠損が生じているのみでなぐその下のタングステンプラ グ PL3倒れて 、ることが確認された。
[0030] 図 2Dは、サンプル SI, S2, S3の耐湿試験の結果をまとめた表である。耐湿試験 は温度 121°C、湿度 85%の条件で行った。 168時間後、 264時間後、 504時間後、 528時間後の不良発生数をサンプル数に対する比で示す。サンプル S1は、 168時 間で不良発生率が 11Z18と 2Z3近くあり、 504時間後には 13Z18と 2Z3を越え ている。サンプル S2は 2グループ作成した。第 1グループの 12個は、 168時間後、 2 64時間後、 528時間後いずれも不良発生率は 0Z12であった。第 2グループの 77 個は、 168時間後、 264時間後いずれも不良発生率は 0Z77であった。
[0031] サンプル S3の 77個は、 168時間後、 264時間後、 528時間後いずれも不良発生 率は 0Z77であった。実験精度内でサンプル S3はサンプル S2と同じ耐湿性を示し た。サンプル S1の実験結果は、金のスタッドバンプはパッドの傷による耐湿性劣化を 回復する機能は有さないことを示している。耐湿性の回復は、スタッドバンプ以外の アンダーノリアメタルに起因すると考えられる。
[0032] これらの結果から、検査の針当てによって、図 2B, 2Cに示すような傷が生じてしま つても、その上に TiZPd積層を形成すると耐湿性が回復すると考えられる。 TiZPd 積層はメツキの下地ノリア膜等としてしばしば用いられるものである力 サンプル S3 ではメツキは行っておらず、メツキ層の下地としての機能とは異なる、耐湿性を回復す るパッド保護機能を有することが示されたと考える。
[0033] TiZPd積層のうち、 Ti膜は上下の膜の密着性を強化する機能を有すること、 Pd膜 は水素を吸収する性質を有することが知られている。密着性が確保されれば、 Pd膜 のみを形成しても同様の耐湿性回復機能が発揮されることが期待される。検査に用 いたパッド上に、導電性パッド保護膜を形成すれば、耐湿性は回復すると考えられる
。 ノッドにボンディングワイヤをボンディングする場合にも耐湿性が確保できると考え られる。
[0034] なお、 Ti膜と TiZTiN積層、 TiZTi— Al— N積層は類似の性質を有することが知 られているので、 Ti膜と Pd膜の間に TiN膜、または Ti— Al— N膜を挿入してもよいで あろう。以下、本発明の実施例を説明する。
[0035] 図 3A, 3Bは、本発明の第 1の実施例によるパッケージした半導体装置の概略平面 図、部分的断面図である。
[0036] 図 3Aに示すように、強誘電体メモリを含む半導体チップ CPはパッケージ PKGに収 容されている。チップ CPのパッド PDは、ボンディングワイヤ BWにより、パッケージ P KGのリード等にワイヤボンディングされている。
[0037] 図 3Bは、図 3Aの ΙΠΒ— ΠΙΒ線に沿う部分断面図である。下部電極 LE,強誘電体 膜 FD,上部電極 UEで形成された強誘電体キャパシタを覆って、第 1層間絶縁膜 IL 1が形成されている。第 1層間絶縁膜 IL1表面から、第 1層間絶縁膜 IL1を貫通し、強 誘電体キャパシタの上部電極 UE,下部電極 LEに達するビアメタル VMが形成され ている。第 1層間絶縁膜 IL1上にアルミニウム配線等の第 1メタル配線 Mlが形成され 、第 2層間絶縁膜 IL2で覆われる。第 2層間絶縁膜 IL2を貫通して第 1メタル配線 Ml に達する接続孔が形成され、タングステンプラグ等の導電性プラグ PL2が埋め込ま れる。同様の工程により。第 2メタル配線 M2、第 3層間絶縁膜 IL3が形成され、導電 性プラグ PL3が埋め込まれる。第 3層間絶縁膜 IL3上にアルミニウム配線等によるパ ッド電極 M3が形成される。酸ィ匕シリコン膜等の第 1カバー膜 CL1を介して、水分、水 素遮蔽能を有する窒化シリコン等の第 2カバー層 CL2が形成される。パッド電極を露 出する開口を形成し、この状態でパッドに針を当てて検査を行う。検査後、表面にポ リイミド膜 Pほたはエポキシ膜を形成し,パッドを露出する開口を形成する。
[0038] Ti膜の第 1導電性パッド保護膜 PM1を堆積し、その上に Pd膜の第 2導電性パッド 保護膜 PM2を堆積して、導電性パッド保護膜 PMを形成する。パッド電極を覆い、ポ リイミド膜上に延在する形状で導電性パッド保護膜 PMをパターユングする。針当て によって、パッド電極 M3に傷が生じていても、導電性パッド保護膜 PMが、傷表面を 覆い、耐湿性を回復する。導電性パッド保護膜 PM上に A1線などのボンディングワイ

[0039] 図 4A— 4Kは、第 1の実施例による半導体装置の製造方法の主要工程を概略的に 示す断面図である。
[0040] 図 4Aに示すように、例えばシリコン基板で形成された半導体基板 1に回路構成に 必要な n型ゥエル NW及び p型ゥエル PWを形成し、活性領域を取り囲む素子分離領 域 2を形成する。図示の構成では、素子分離領域 2は、シリコン局所酸化 (LOCOS) で形成されている力 シヤロートレンチアイソレーション(STI)で形成してもよい。活性 領域上には絶縁ゲート電極 Gが形成され、ゲート電極両側にソース/ドレイン領域 S ,Dが形成される。
[0041] MOSトランジスタ等の半導体素子を覆って、半導体基板上に下部層間絶縁膜 UI Lを形成する。下部層間絶縁膜 UILは、例えば、酸ィ匕窒化シリコン膜 7と酸ィ匕シリコン 膜 8の積層で形成する。まず、厚さ 50— 250nmの範囲、例えば厚さ約 200nmの酸 化窒化シリコン膜と酸ィ匕シリコン膜の積層をプラズマ CVDで形成する。酸化窒化シリ コン膜は、水分、水素に対するバリア機能を有し、 MOSトランジスタの特性劣化を防 止する。酸ィ匕シリコン膜は、例えば、 TEOSを原料としたプラズマ CVDにより形成した ノンドープシリケートガラス(NSG,酸化シリコン)膜である。例えば厚さ 600nmの酸 化シリコン膜を形成し、化学機械研磨 (CMP)により、厚さ 200nm程度を研磨して平 坦な表面を形成する。平坦化された表面上に、さらに TEOSをソースとして用い、酸 化シリコン膜をプラズマ CVDにより厚さ lOOnm程度形成する。その後、例えば窒素 雰囲気中 650°C、 30分程度の脱水処理を行なう。
[0042] 図 4Bに示すように、酸ィ匕シリコン膜の上に、スパッタリング等の物理的気相堆積 (P VD)により、アルミナ膜 11を例えば厚さ 20nm程度形成する。アルミナ膜は、水分、 水素を遮蔽する強い機能を有する。アルミナ膜 11成膜後、ラッピッドサ一マルア-一 ル (RTA)により、例えば酸素雰囲気中 650°C、 60秒程度の熱処理を行なう。この熱 処理により、アルミナ膜 11の膜質が向上する。アルミナ膜 11も下部層間絶縁膜の一 咅と考免ることちでさる。
[0043] アルミナ膜 11の上に、強誘電体キャパシタの下部電極 LE、強誘電体層 FD、上部
電極 UEの積層を形成する。下部電極 LEは、例えば厚さ 155nmの Pt膜を PVDによ り形成する。強誘電体膜 FDは、例えば厚さ 150— 200nmの PZT膜を PVDにより形 成する。強誘電体膜 FDを形成した後、例えば RTAにより、 585°C、 O雰囲気 (流量

PVDにより形成する。第 1、第 2上部電極 UE1, UE2が上部電極 UEを構成する。
[0045] このようにして強誘電体キャパシタ構造を形成するための積層構造を堆積した後、 ホトレジストパターンをエッチングマスクとし、上部電極 UEをエッチングする。エツチン グ後、ホトレジストパターンを除去し、 PZT膜の回復ァニールのため、例えば 650°C、 O雰囲気 (流量 20リットル Z分)、 60分間の熱処理を、例えば縦型炉中で行なう。さ

[0046] ノターユングした上部電極 UE、強誘電体膜 FDを覆うように、半導体基板全面上に 、例えば 50nmのアルミナ膜を PVDにより成膜する。アルミナ膜成膜後、例えば縦型 炉中において 550°C、 O雰囲気(流量 20リットル Z分)、 60分間の熱処理を行いァ

[0047] パターユングされた強誘電体キャパシタを覆って、さらに厚さ 50nm程度のアルミナ 膜を例えば PVDにより成膜する。なお、先に形成されていたアルミナ膜も合わせてァ ルミナ膜 17として示す。アルミナ膜 17成膜後、上記同様 550°C、 O雰囲気 (流量 20

リコン膜 18の表面を窒化する。
[0048] 図 4Cに示すように、コンタクトホール CHのパターンを有するレジストパターンを半 導体基板上に形成し、酸ィ匕シリコン膜 18、アルミナ膜 17、 11、下部層間絶縁膜 UIL をエッチングし、活性領域 (ソース Zドレイン領域)表面を露出する。なお、チップ周縁 部には、シールリング SRを形成するための、半導体基板に達するループ状の溝 GR を形成する。
[0049] コンタクトホール CHを形成した後、レジストパターンを除去し、例えば厚さ 20nmの Ti膜、次に厚さ 50nmの TiN膜を PVDにより堆積し、さらに厚さ 500nmの W膜を例 えば CVDにより堆積し、コンタクトホール CH、溝 GRを埋め込む。コンタクトホール、 溝外の導電膜を除去するために CMPを行ない、酸ィ匕シリコン膜 18表面上に堆積し たタングステン膜等を研磨で除去する。回路部のタングステンプラグ PL 1が形成され 、チップ周縁部にはシールリング SRが形成される。
[0050] 露出した酸ィ匕シリコン膜 18表面を窒化するため、 N Oプラズマで 350°C、 2分間等

のプラズマァニールを行なう。続いて、酸ィ匕窒化シリコン膜 21を厚さ lOOnm程度 CV Dにより堆積する。なお、先に述べたプラズマァニールは SiON膜 21成膜用プラズマ CVD装置においてプラズマ CVDに先立って行なうことができる。この酸化窒化シリコ ン膜 21は、 Wプラグの表面を酸化から保護するための保護膜となる。
[0051] 図 4Dに示すように、レジストパターンをエッチングマスクとして用い、強誘電体キヤ パシタの上部電極 UE及び下部電極 LEに対するコンタクトホール CHを形成する。コ ンタクトホールをエッチング後、例えば縦型炉による熱処理を 500°C、 O雰囲気 (流

[0052] 図 4Eに示すように、役目を終えた酸ィ匕窒化シリコン膜 21を例えばエッチバックによ り除去する。
[0053] 図 4Fに示すように、例えば厚さ 150nmの TiN膜、厚さ 550nmの Al- Cu合金膜、
厚さ 5nmの Ti膜、厚さ 150nmの TiN膜を例えば PVDにより積層し、コンタクトホール CHを埋め込む第 1メタル配線膜を形成する。レジストパターンを用いて第 1メタル配 線層をエッチングすることにより、第 1メタル配線 Mlを形成する。この工程において、 回路部の第 1メタル配線 Mlの他、ノ ッド構造を形成する部分において、パッドパター ンを形成し、さらにチップ外周に沿った領域にシールリングを形成する。なお、ここま での工程は強誘電体メモリ装置を形成するための公知の工程である。公知の他のェ 程を用いてもよい。
[0054] 第 1メタル配線 Mlをパターユングした後、縦型炉中において例えば 350°C、 N雰
2 囲気 (流量 20リットル Z分)、 30分間の熱処理を行なう。第 1メタル配線パターンを覆 うように、酸ィ匕シリコン膜 18上に例えば厚さ 20nmのアルミナ膜を PVDにより成膜して もよい。強誘電体キャパシタの下面をアルミナ膜 11で覆い、上面、側面をアルミナ膜 17で覆い、さらに上方にアルミナ膜を配置することにより、外部から強誘電体膜 FD への水分、水素の浸入を低減することができる。
[0055] 図 4Gに示すように、第 1メタル配線 Mlを覆って、例えば TEOSをソースとした酸ィ匕 シリコン膜を厚さ 2600nm程度 CVDにより成膜し、表面を平坦ィ匕し、上述同様のブラ ズマァニールで表面を窒化する。さらに TEOSをソースとした酸ィ匕シリコン膜を厚さ 1 OOnm程度 CVDにより形成する。この酸ィ匕シリコン膜表面を窒化するためにさらにプ ラズマァニールを行なう。このようにして第 2層間絶縁膜 IL2を形成した後レジストバタ ーンを形成し、第 1メタル配線 Mlと接続するためのコンタクトホール、溝をエッチング する。
[0056] 例えば厚さ 50nm程度の TiN膜を PVDにより堆積し、続いて厚さ 650nm程度の W 膜を CVDにより堆積し、コンタクトホール、溝を埋め込むタングステン膜を形成する。 層間絶縁膜 IL 1上に堆積した W膜等を除去するため、エッチバック又は CMPを行な う。このようにして、第 2タングステンプラグ PL2が形成される。タングステンプラグ PL2 の上に、第 2メタル配線 M2を形成する。ノ ッド構造部には接続用プラグとパッド電極 、チップ周縁部にはシールリングと配線リングが形成される。
[0057] 図 4Hに示すように、第 2メタル配線パターン M2を覆って、 TEOS酸ィ匕シリコン膜を 例えば厚さ 2200nm堆積し、平坦ィ匕のための CMPを行なった後さらにプラズマァ-
ールにより表面を窒化する。更に、 TEOS酸ィ匕シリコン膜を例えば厚さ lOOnm程度 堆積し、さらに窒化のためのプラズマァニールを行なう。このようにして第 3層間絶縁 膜 IL3を形成する。
[0058] 前述同様の工程により、第 3層間絶縁膜 IL3にタングステンプラグ PL3を埋め込む 。 ノッド構造部には接続プラグ、チップ周縁部にはシールリングが形成される。さらに 、タングステンプラグ PL3等に接続される第 3メタル配線 M3を形成する。パッド構造 部にはパッドパターン、チップ周縁部には配線リングを形成する。
[0059] 図 41に示すように、多層配線を覆うように例えば厚さ lOOnm程度の TEOS酸化シリ コン膜の第 1カバー膜 CL1を CVDにより堆積し、表面をプラズマァニールにより窒化 した後、その上に例えば厚さ 350nm程度の窒化シリコン膜の第 2カバー膜 CL2をプ ラズマ CVDにより堆積する。
[0060] レジストパターンを用いて、窒化シリコン膜 CL2、酸化シリコン膜 CL1をエッチング する。第 3メタル配線の上層 TiN層も同時にエッチングする。このようにして、アルミ- ゥム (合金)表面のボンディングパッドを露出する。この状態で、パッドに針を当てて検 查を行う。ノッド電極は、図 2A—2Cに示したような損傷を受けることもある。損傷を受 けたパッドは、耐湿性が低下する。
[0061] さらに、感光性ポリイミド層を窒化シリコン膜 CL2上に塗布し、露光、現像することに より、ボンディングパッド領域のポリイミド層を除去する。ポリイミドパターン PIを形成し た後、例えば横型炉で 310°C、 N雰囲気 (流量 100リットル
2 Z分)、 40分間の処理を 行ない、ポリイミドを硬化させる。なお、ポリイミド膜塗布前に試験を行うのは、後に形 成する導電性パッド保護膜のパターンを小さくするのに有効である。
[0062] 図 Jに示すように、半導体基板全面に厚さ 150— 200nmの Ti膜の第 1導電性保 護膜 PM 1、厚さ 150— 200nmの Pd膜の第 2導電性保護膜 PM2を PVDにより堆積 し、ノッド上に導電性パッド保護膜 PMを形成する。パッド電極が傷を受けている場 合、導電性パッド保護膜 PMが傷表面を覆うことにより、耐湿性が回復する。なお、こ の状態では全てのパッドが短絡された状態である。
[0063] 図 4K1に示すように、導電性パッド保護膜をパターユングして、パッド表面から周囲 のノッシベーシヨン膜上に這い上がり、パッド間では分離された形状とする。 Pd膜の
エッチングは、ヨウ化アンモン、ヨウ素、エチルアルコール、純水の混合液中 9分浸漬 することで行える。エッチレートは 92. 5nmZ分程度であった。 Ti膜のエッチングは、 エチレンジアミンテトラ酢酸 (EDTA)、アンモニア、過酸化水素水、純水の混合液に 9分浸漬することで行える。エッチングレートは 38nm/分程度であった。パッケージ に収容し、パッド上の導電性パッド保護膜にボンディングワイヤ BMの一端をボンディ ングし、他端をリード、パッド、ランド等にボンディングする。
[0064] 図 4K2に示すように、導電性パッド保護膜の上に、図 1Dのサンプル S3同様の、ス タッドバンプ SDBを接続してもよい。スタッドバンプ SDBは、金等で形成できる。
[0065] 図 5A, 5Bは、第 2の実施例による半導体装置を示す。図 5Aは平面図、図 5Bは断 面図である。図 4A— Jの工程を第 1の実施例同様に行い、導電性保護膜 PMを堆 積する。導電性保護膜をパッド部に残すのではなぐパッド部周縁で導電性保護膜 にスリット SLを形成して各パッド PDを電気的に分離する。スリット SL以外のチップ表 面は導電性保護膜 PMに覆われた状態となる。ノ^シベーシヨン膜から水分、水素が 浸入しにくくなる。導電性パッド保護膜の上には、ワイヤボンディングを行っても、スタ ッドバンプを接続してもよ!/ヽ。
[0066] 図 6は、第 3の実施例による半導体装置を示す。図 4A— Jの工程を第 1の実施例 同様に行い、導電性保護膜 PMを堆積する。導電性保護膜 PMをエッチングし、パッ ドを覆う部分と強誘電体キャパシタ上方を覆う領域に残す。パッドの導電性保護膜上 に金メッキを行い、金バンプ AUBを形成する。なお、パッド以外の領域に残す導電 性保護膜 PMの形状は種々選択可能である。例えば、図 5A, 5Bに示したようにスリ ットで導電性保護膜を分離した形状でもよ!/ヽ。
[0067] 以上実施例に沿って本発明を説明したが、本発明はこれらに制限されるものでは ない。例えば、導電性保護膜の Ti膜、 Pd膜の厚さは、条件によって変更できる。十 分な耐湿性が確保できればょ 、。パッドはアルミニウムまたはアルミニウム合金の最 表面を有するように形成できる。水分、水素に対する遮蔽機能を有する絶縁性バリア 層の材料としてアルミナを用いた力 酸ィ匕チタンを同様に用いることができる。その厚 さは 20— lOOnmとすることが好ましい。その他、種々の変更、改良、組み合わせが 可能なことは当業者に自明であろう。
