Definitions

  • This invention relates in general to 3-D integration of circuits and more specifically to a barrier for use in 3-D integration of circuits.
  • 3-D integration of circuits is achieved using face-to-face bonding of wafers, such as acceptor wafers and donor wafers, or dies.
  • Acceptor wafer is typically the bottom wafer and donor wafer is typically the top wafer.
  • Interconnects in the bonded wafers or dies are connected using various techniques, such as stitch vias.
  • stitch vias which are typically formed on the backside of a donor wafer, is, however, time consuming and requires additional steps for achieving 3-D integration of wafers or dies. In particular, for example, formation of stitch vias requires two inter- wafer vias having differing lengths that are linked on the backside of the donor wafer.
  • etching of inter- wafer vias can cause several problems for etch processing.
  • etching of such inter- wafer vias in low-K dielectric wafers requires etching through multiple types of dielectric materials, such as silicon nitride, silicon carbon- nitride, silicon-oxide, and SiCOH containing low-K dielectrics.
  • This in turn requires a wide range of etch processes, such as both physical and chemical etch processes.
  • Certain physical and chemical etch processes can redistribute the copper into the dielectric layers. This problem, for example, especially occurs when inter-wafer connects are used as embedded etch masks.
