Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a semiconductor device and a manufacturing method thereof, and more particularly to a chip-chip stacking, a chip-wafer stacking or a wafer-wafer stacking semiconductor device and a manufacturing method thereof.

Description

半導体装置及びその製造方法Semiconductor device and manufacturing method thereof
 本発明は、半導体装置及びその製造方法に関し、特に、チップ-チップ積層、チップ-ウェーハ積層又はウェーハ-ウェーハ積層された半導体装置及びその製造方法に関する。 The present invention relates to a semiconductor device and a manufacturing method thereof, and more particularly to a chip-chip stacking, a chip-wafer stacking or a wafer-wafer stacking semiconductor device and a manufacturing method thereof.
 近年、半導体集積回路装置の高集積化、高機能化及び高速化に伴って、貫通ビア(貫通電極)を用いた半導体基板のチップ-チップ積層、チップ-ウェーハ積層又はウェーハ-ウェーハ積層による3次元集積化技術が提案されている。 In recent years, as semiconductor integrated circuit devices become highly integrated, highly functional, and speeded up, three-dimensional semiconductor chip-chip stacking, chip-wafer stacking, or wafer-wafer stacking using through vias (through electrodes) Integration techniques have been proposed.
 このような3次元集積化技術が注目される中において、例えば、ロジックLSIチップと他のチップとを積層した場合、半導体基板における他の基板が貼り合わされる面上に形成された絶縁膜の熱伝導性が低く放熱効率が悪いことに起因して、ロジックLSIチップに集積されたトランジスタの動作によって発生した熱がロジックLSIチップの発熱箇所近傍に蓄積されて温度上昇が引き起こされ、動作不良や信頼性不良等が発生するという問題があった。具体的には、通常、絶縁膜として多用されているTEOS(tetraethylorthosilicate )膜の熱伝導率は1.2W/(m・K)程度と低いため、半導体基板の放熱を妨げる要因となっている。 While such a three-dimensional integration technique is attracting attention, for example, when a logic LSI chip and another chip are stacked, the heat of the insulating film formed on the surface of the semiconductor substrate to which the other substrate is bonded. Due to the low conductivity and poor heat dissipation efficiency, heat generated by the operation of the transistors integrated in the logic LSI chip is accumulated near the heat generation point of the logic LSI chip, causing a temperature rise, resulting in malfunction and reliability. There has been a problem that inferiority or the like occurs. Specifically, the thermal conductivity of a TEOS (tetraethylorthosilicate) film, which is normally used as an insulating film, is as low as about 1.2 W / (m · K), which is a factor that hinders heat dissipation of the semiconductor substrate.
 この問題を解決する対策として、薄膜状のLSIチップを3次元的に貼り合わせて集積してなる3次元半導体チップにおいて、各LSIチップにおける他のチップが貼り合わされる面に3次元半導体チップの外側に通じるように溝を設け、当該溝に放熱用材料を埋め込む方法が提案されている(例えば特許文献1参照)。 As a countermeasure to solve this problem, in a three-dimensional semiconductor chip obtained by three-dimensionally bonding thin-film LSI chips and integrating them, the outer surface of the three-dimensional semiconductor chip is placed on the surface of each LSI chip to which other chips are bonded. There has been proposed a method in which a groove is provided so as to lead to and a material for heat dissipation is embedded in the groove (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
特開2002-334968号公報JP 2002-334968 A
 しかしながら、前述の従来技術においては、十分な放熱効果が得られず、動作不良や信頼性不良等の発生を抑制できない場合がある。 However, in the above-described conventional technology, a sufficient heat dissipation effect cannot be obtained, and the occurrence of malfunctions or reliability failures may not be suppressed.
 前記に鑑み、本発明は、3次元集積化技術を適用した場合にも十分な放熱効果が得られる、放熱効率の高い放熱構造を持つ半導体装置及びその製造方法を提供することを目的とする。 In view of the above, an object of the present invention is to provide a semiconductor device having a heat dissipation structure with high heat dissipation efficiency and a method for manufacturing the same, which can obtain a sufficient heat dissipation effect even when a three-dimensional integration technique is applied.
 前記の目的を達成するために、本願発明者は、特許文献1に開示された3次元半導体チップ構成、つまり、各LSIチップにおける他のチップが貼り合わされる面に3次元半導体チップの外側に通じるように形成された放熱用溝に放熱用材料が埋め込まれている構成について、種々の検討を行った結果、次のような知見を得た。 In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the inventor of the present application leads to the outside of the three-dimensional semiconductor chip in the three-dimensional semiconductor chip configuration disclosed in Patent Document 1, that is, the surface of each LSI chip to which other chips are bonded. As a result of various studies on the structure in which the heat dissipation material is embedded in the heat dissipation groove formed as described above, the following knowledge was obtained.
 すなわち、LSIチップの発熱部(基板の素子形成面上に形成された素子群等)で発生した熱のうちのかなりの部分は、基板を貫通する貫通電極の導体部分を伝わって基板裏面(素子形成面の反対面(他のチップが貼り合わされる面))に到達する一方、特許文献1に開示された3次元半導体チップにおいては基板裏面に放熱用溝が貫通電極から離間して形成されているため、放熱効果が低下していることが判明した。 That is, a considerable part of the heat generated in the heat generating part (element group formed on the element formation surface of the substrate) of the LSI chip is transmitted through the conductor portion of the through electrode penetrating the substrate and the back surface of the substrate (element On the other hand, in the three-dimensional semiconductor chip disclosed in Patent Document 1, a heat radiating groove is formed away from the through electrode on the back surface of the substrate. Therefore, it was found that the heat dissipation effect was reduced.
 そこで、本願発明者は、以上の知見に基づいて、貫通電極と半導体基板との電気的な短絡を防止しつつ、基板裏面に貫通電極と連結する放熱用凹部を設けることにより、又は、基板裏面上に貫通電極若しくはその近傍に達する絶縁性高放熱材料膜(具体的にはダイヤモンドライクカーボン膜)を設けることにより、放熱効率の高い放熱構造を持つ半導体装置を実現するという発明に想到した。 Therefore, based on the above knowledge, the inventor of the present application prevents the electrical short circuit between the through electrode and the semiconductor substrate, and provides a heat dissipation recess connected to the through electrode on the back surface of the substrate, or the back surface of the substrate. By providing an insulating high heat dissipation material film (specifically, a diamond-like carbon film) that reaches the through electrode or the vicinity thereof, the inventors have come up with an invention that realizes a semiconductor device having a heat dissipation structure with high heat dissipation efficiency.
 本発明に係る第1の半導体装置は、半導体基板と、前記半導体基板を貫通する貫通電極とを備え、前記半導体基板の素子形成面の反対面には、前記貫通電極の少なくとも端面を露出させる第1の凹部と、前記貫通電極を露出させない第2の凹部とが形成されており、前記半導体基板の前記反対面上には、前記第1の凹部における前記貫通電極の前記端面を除く内面及び前記第2の凹部の内面を覆うように第1の絶縁膜が形成されており、前記第1の絶縁膜上には、前記貫通電極の前記端面と接続し且つ前記第1の凹部の外側まで延びる導電膜が形成されている。 A first semiconductor device according to the present invention includes a semiconductor substrate and a through electrode penetrating the semiconductor substrate, and at least an end surface of the through electrode is exposed on a surface opposite to an element formation surface of the semiconductor substrate. A first recess and a second recess that does not expose the through electrode, and an inner surface of the first recess excluding the end surface of the through electrode and the second substrate are formed on the opposite surface of the semiconductor substrate. A first insulating film is formed so as to cover the inner surface of the second recess, and the first insulating film is connected to the end surface of the through electrode and extends to the outside of the first recess on the first insulating film. A conductive film is formed.

For this reason, heat generated on the element formation surface of the semiconductor substrate and transmitted to the back surface of the substrate via the through electrode can be radiated from the first recess, so that the through electrode is not exposed (that is, connected to the through electrode). No) The heat radiation efficiency can be sufficiently improved even when the three-dimensional integration technique is applied, compared with the conventional structure in which only the heat radiation recess is provided on the back surface of the substrate. In addition, since the first insulating film is formed on the back surface of the substrate so as to cover the inner surface of the first recess except for the end surface of the through electrode, formation of a conductive film (that is, an extraction wiring) connected to the end surface of the through electrode is formed. It is possible to reliably prevent an electrical short circuit between the through electrode and the semiconductor substrate due to the above.

If it does in this way, heat dissipation efficiency can be improved further.

In this case, the thermal conductivity of the diamond-like carbon film is as high as about 30 W / (m · K), so that the heat dissipation efficiency can be further improved.
 尚、第1の凹部のみによって十分な放熱効率が得られる場合には、本発明に係る第1の半導体装置において、前記半導体基板の前記反対面に前記第2の凹部が形成されていなくてもよい。 When sufficient heat radiation efficiency can be obtained only by the first recess, in the first semiconductor device according to the present invention, even if the second recess is not formed on the opposite surface of the semiconductor substrate.

 (第1の実施形態)
 以下、本発明の第1の実施形態に係る半導体装置及びその製造方法について、図面を参照しながら説明する。
(First embodiment)
Hereinafter, a semiconductor device and a manufacturing method thereof according to a first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
 図1(a)~(c)及び図2(a)~(c)は、第1の実施形態に係る半導体装置の製造方法の各工程を示す断面図である。 FIGS. 1A to 1C and FIGS. 2A to 2C are cross-sectional views showing respective steps of the semiconductor device manufacturing method according to the first embodiment.
 まず、図1(a)に示すように、貫通電極2が素子形成面の反対面(裏面1b)に露出しないように埋設されている半導体基板1を準備する。半導体基板1の素子形成面(表面1a)側には、トランジスタ11等の各種の機能素子が形成されている。また、半導体基板1の表面1a上には、貫通電極2及びトランジスタ11等と電気的に接続する多層配線を有する配線層12が形成されている。貫通電極2は、半導体基板1の裏面1b側からの平面視において、例えば5μm□の方形状を有している。また、貫通電極2は、配線層12の内部に達するように形成されていると共に、貫通電極2の側壁は、バリア膜(図示省略)を挟んで絶縁膜13によって覆われている。 First, as shown in FIG. 1A, a semiconductor substrate 1 is prepared in which a through electrode 2 is buried so as not to be exposed on the surface opposite to the element formation surface (back surface 1b). Various functional elements such as the transistor 11 are formed on the element formation surface (front surface 1 a) side of the semiconductor substrate 1. Further, on the surface 1 a of the semiconductor substrate 1, a wiring layer 12 having a multilayer wiring that is electrically connected to the through electrode 2 and the transistor 11 is formed. The through electrode 2 has, for example, a 5 μm square shape in plan view from the back surface 1 b side of the semiconductor substrate 1. The through electrode 2 is formed so as to reach the inside of the wiring layer 12, and the side wall of the through electrode 2 is covered with an insulating film 13 with a barrier film (not shown) interposed therebetween.
 次に、図1(b)に示すように、例えばCMP(chemical mechanical polishing )を用いて半導体基板1を裏面1b側から研磨し、当該研磨後の裏面1bに貫通電極2が露出しないように半導体基板1の厚さを薄くする。 Next, as shown in FIG. 1B, the semiconductor substrate 1 is polished from the back surface 1b side using, for example, CMP (chemical mechanical polishing), and the through electrode 2 is not exposed to the back surface 1b after the polishing. The thickness of the substrate 1 is reduced.
 次に、図1(c)に示すように、半導体基板1の裏面1b側からの平面視において貫通電極2の直上を包含する領域及び当該領域以外の他の領域にそれぞれ例えば20μm□の矩形状の開口部を有するレジストパターン(図示省略)を形成した後、当該レジストパターンをマスクとして、半導体基板1に対してドライエッチングを行い、その後、当該レジストパターンを除去する。これにより、半導体基板1の裏面1bに、貫通電極2の少なくとも端面(底面)を露出させる第1の凹部3を形成すると共に、貫通電極を露出させない第2の凹部8を形成する。ここで、第1の凹部3は、貫通電極2の底面よりも大きい底部を有している。また、第1の凹部3及び第2の凹部8のそれぞれの深さは、例えば10μm程度である。 Next, as shown in FIG. 1C, in a plan view from the back surface 1b side of the semiconductor substrate 1, a rectangular shape of, for example, 20 μm □ is formed in a region including the portion directly above the through electrode 2 and other regions other than the region. After forming a resist pattern (not shown) having the openings, dry etching is performed on the semiconductor substrate 1 using the resist pattern as a mask, and then the resist pattern is removed. Thus, the first recess 3 that exposes at least the end face (bottom surface) of the through electrode 2 is formed on the back surface 1b of the semiconductor substrate 1, and the second recess 8 that does not expose the through electrode is formed. Here, the first recess 3 has a bottom portion larger than the bottom surface of the through electrode 2. The depth of each of the first recess 3 and the second recess 8 is, for example, about 10 μm.
 次に、図2(a)に示すように、半導体基板1の裏面1b上に、第1の凹部3及び第2の凹部8のそれぞれの内面を覆うように、例えばCVD(chemical vapor deposition )法を用いて、例えば厚さ500nm程度のシリコン酸化膜からなる第1の絶縁膜4を形成する。その後、第1の絶縁膜4における貫通電極2の底面上に形成されている部分のみを例えばドライエッチング法を用いて除去する。 Next, as shown in FIG. 2A, for example, a CVD (chemical vapor deposition) method is performed on the back surface 1b of the semiconductor substrate 1 so as to cover the inner surfaces of the first concave portion 3 and the second concave portion 8, respectively. For example, the first insulating film 4 made of a silicon oxide film having a thickness of about 500 nm is formed. Thereafter, only the portion of the first insulating film 4 formed on the bottom surface of the through electrode 2 is removed using, for example, a dry etching method.
 次に、例えばスパッタ法により、第1の絶縁膜4上にバリア膜として例えば厚さ100nm程度のTiN膜(図示省略)を形成した後、例えばスパッタ法により、当該TiN膜上に例えば厚さ20nm程度のCuシード膜(図示省略)を形成する。その後、第1の凹部3上を含む所定の領域に開口を持つレジストパターン(図示省略)をマスクとして、図2(b)に示すように、例えば電解メッキ法により、前記Cuシード膜上に例えば厚さ1μm程度のCu膜からなる導電膜5を形成する。ここで、導電膜5は、貫通電極2の底面と接続すると共に、第1の凹部3の外側まで延びている。その後、前記レジストパターンを除去した後、導電膜5をマスクとして、例えばドライエッチングにより、導電膜5が形成されていない領域の前記TiN膜及び前記Cuシード膜を除去する。 Next, a TiN film (not shown) having a thickness of, for example, about 100 nm is formed as a barrier film on the first insulating film 4 by, for example, sputtering, and then, for example, 20 nm in thickness is formed on the TiN film by, for example, sputtering. A Cu seed film (not shown) is formed. Then, using a resist pattern (not shown) having an opening in a predetermined region including the first recess 3 as a mask, as shown in FIG. 2B, for example, on the Cu seed film by, for example, electrolytic plating. A conductive film 5 made of a Cu film having a thickness of about 1 μm is formed. Here, the conductive film 5 is connected to the bottom surface of the through electrode 2 and extends to the outside of the first recess 3. Then, after removing the resist pattern, the TiN film and the Cu seed film in a region where the conductive film 5 is not formed are removed by dry etching, for example, using the conductive film 5 as a mask.
 次に、図2(c)に示すように、第1の凹部3の外側に位置する部分の導電膜5上に、例えば半田バンプからなる電極6を形成する。その後、例えばCVD法を用いて、第1の凹部3及び第2の凹部8の内面上を含む半導体基板1の裏面1b上の全面に亘って、例えば厚さ500nm程度のシリコン酸化膜からなる第2の絶縁膜7を形成した後、導電膜5を完全に覆い且つ電極6の少なくとも上面を露出させるように第2の絶縁膜7をパターニングする。 Next, as shown in FIG. 2C, an electrode 6 made of, for example, a solder bump is formed on a portion of the conductive film 5 located outside the first recess 3. Thereafter, for example, a CVD method is used to form a first silicon oxide film having a thickness of, for example, about 500 nm over the entire surface of the back surface 1b of the semiconductor substrate 1 including the inner surfaces of the first recess 3 and the second recess 8. After the second insulating film 7 is formed, the second insulating film 7 is patterned so as to completely cover the conductive film 5 and expose at least the upper surface of the electrode 6.
 以上のようにして、本実施形態の半導体装置が完成する。 As described above, the semiconductor device of this embodiment is completed.
 図3(a)は、半導体基板(ウェーハ)1の各チップ領域50に本実施形態の半導体装置が形成されている様子を裏面1b側から見た図(鳥瞰図)であり、図3(b)は、1つのチップ領域50に第1の凹部3及び第2の凹部8が形成されている様子を裏面1b側から見た図(鳥瞰図)であり、図3(c)は、チップ領域50に配置された貫通電極2、第1の凹部3及び第2の凹部8の斜視図(半透視図)である。また、図3(d)及び(e)はそれぞれ、電極6及び第2の絶縁膜7を形成する前の第1の凹部3(貫通電極2を含む)及び第2の凹部8の拡大断面図である。尚、図3(d)においては、図2(b)及び(c)で図示を省略したバリア膜(TiN膜)14を示している。 FIG. 3A is a view (bird's eye view) of a state in which the semiconductor device of the present embodiment is formed in each chip region 50 of the semiconductor substrate (wafer) 1 from the back surface 1b side, and FIG. FIG. 3C is a view (bird's eye view) of a state in which the first concave portion 3 and the second concave portion 8 are formed in one chip region 50 from the back surface 1b side, and FIG. It is a perspective view (semi-transparent figure) of the penetration electrode 2, the 1st crevice 3, and the 2nd crevice 8 arranged. 3D and 3E are enlarged sectional views of the first recess 3 (including the through electrode 2) and the second recess 8 before forming the electrode 6 and the second insulating film 7, respectively. It is. FIG. 3D shows a barrier film (TiN film) 14 not shown in FIGS. 2B and 2C.
 第1の実施形態によると、半導体基板1の裏面1bに、貫通電極2の端面を露出させる(つまり貫通電極2と連結する)放熱用凹部(第1の凹部3)が設けられている。このため、半導体基板1の素子形成面(表面1a)で発生し且つ貫通電極2を経由して裏面1bまで伝わってきた熱を第1の凹部3から放熱することができるので、貫通電極を露出させない(つまり貫通電極と連結しない)放熱用凹部しか基板裏面に設けられていない従来構造と比較して、3次元集積化技術を適用した場合にも放熱効率を十分に向上させることができる。また、第1の凹部3における貫通電極2の端面を除く内面を覆うように半導体基板1の裏面1b上に第1の絶縁膜4が形成されているため、貫通電極2の端面と接続する導電膜5(つまり引き出し配線)の形成に起因する貫通電極2と半導体基板1との電気的な短絡を確実に防止することができる。 According to the first embodiment, the back surface 1b of the semiconductor substrate 1 is provided with a heat radiation recess (first recess 3) that exposes the end surface of the through electrode 2 (that is, is connected to the through electrode 2). For this reason, the heat generated on the element formation surface (front surface 1a) of the semiconductor substrate 1 and transmitted to the back surface 1b via the through electrode 2 can be radiated from the first recess 3, so that the through electrode is exposed. Compared with a conventional structure in which only the heat radiation recess is not provided on the back surface of the substrate (that is, not connected to the through electrode), the heat radiation efficiency can be sufficiently improved even when the three-dimensional integration technique is applied. In addition, since the first insulating film 4 is formed on the back surface 1 b of the semiconductor substrate 1 so as to cover the inner surface of the first recess 3 except for the end surface of the through electrode 2, the conductive material connected to the end surface of the through electrode 2. It is possible to reliably prevent an electrical short circuit between the through electrode 2 and the semiconductor substrate 1 due to the formation of the film 5 (that is, the lead wiring).
 また、第1の実施形態によると、発熱源(半導体基板1の素子形成面(表面1a))からの熱が蓄積されている貫通電極2に接続する導電膜(本実施形態ではCu膜)5が第1の凹部3内にも形成されているため、熱伝導率の高い導電膜5の表面積が増大するので、放熱効率をさらに高めることが可能となる。ここで、導電膜5は、貫通電極2の引き出し配線となる部分とは別に、第1の凹部3の外側の半導体基板1の裏面1b上に、放熱効率をさらに向上させるための放熱部を有していてもよい。 Further, according to the first embodiment, the conductive film (Cu film in this embodiment) 5 connected to the through electrode 2 in which heat from the heat source (element formation surface (surface 1a) of the semiconductor substrate 1) is accumulated. Is also formed in the first recess 3, the surface area of the conductive film 5 having a high thermal conductivity is increased, and the heat dissipation efficiency can be further increased. Here, the conductive film 5 has a heat dissipating part for further improving the heat dissipating efficiency on the back surface 1b of the semiconductor substrate 1 outside the first recessed part 3 separately from the part serving as the lead wiring of the through electrode 2. You may do it.
 また、第1の実施形態によると、貫通電極2が形成されていない領域の半導体基板1の裏面1bにも第2の凹部8を形成しているため、半導体基板1の裏面1bの実質的な表面積を大幅に増大させることができるので、放熱効率をより一層高めることが可能となる。 Further, according to the first embodiment, since the second recess 8 is formed also in the back surface 1b of the semiconductor substrate 1 in the region where the through electrode 2 is not formed, the substantial back surface 1b of the semiconductor substrate 1 is formed. Since the surface area can be greatly increased, the heat radiation efficiency can be further enhanced.
 さらに、第1の実施形態によると、貫通電極2の端面を露出させる(つまり貫通電極2と連結する)放熱用凹部(第1の凹部3)を、貫通電極2を露出させない(つまり貫通電極2と連結しない)放熱用凹部(第2の凹部8)と同時に形成することができるので、工程を複雑化することなく、前述の効果を得ることができる。 Furthermore, according to the first embodiment, the heat radiation recess (first recess 3) that exposes the end face of the through electrode 2 (that is, is connected to the through electrode 2) does not expose the through electrode 2 (that is, the through electrode 2). Since the heat dissipation recess (second recess 8) can be formed at the same time, the above-described effects can be obtained without complicating the process.
 尚、第1の実施形態では、半導体基板1の裏面1b上に形成する第1の絶縁膜4として、CVD法により形成されたシリコン酸化膜を用いた。しかし、これに代えて、第1の絶縁膜4として、熱伝導率がシリコン酸化膜よりも高い(具体的には、熱伝導率が1.5W/(m・K)以上の)絶縁材料を用いることにより、放熱性をさらに向上させることが可能となる。例えば、低ストレスアモルファスシリコン窒化膜(熱導電率は最大4W/(m・K)程度)、及びダイヤモンドライクカーボン(DLC)膜(熱導電率は最大30W/(m・K)程度)等は、極めて有用な絶縁材料である。ここで、DLC膜は、ダイヤモンドのsp結合とグラファイトのsp結合の両者を炭素原子の骨格構造としたアモルファス炭素膜であり、絶縁性を有していながら、シリコン酸化膜の20倍以上の熱伝導率を有する。DLC膜の形成方法としては、プラズマCVD法、熱CVD法、光CVD法、スパッタ法などがあり、200℃程度の低温(つまり半導体プロセスに適合した温度範囲)で成膜可能である。 In the first embodiment, a silicon oxide film formed by a CVD method is used as the first insulating film 4 formed on the back surface 1b of the semiconductor substrate 1. However, instead of this, an insulating material having a higher thermal conductivity than the silicon oxide film (specifically, a thermal conductivity of 1.5 W / (m · K) or more) is used as the first insulating film 4. By using it, it becomes possible to further improve heat dissipation. For example, a low stress amorphous silicon nitride film (thermal conductivity is about 4 W / (m · K) at maximum), a diamond-like carbon (DLC) film (thermal conductivity is about 30 W / (m · K) at maximum), etc. It is a very useful insulating material. Here, the DLC film is an amorphous carbon film in which both the sp 3 bond of diamond and the sp 2 bond of graphite have a skeleton structure of carbon atoms. Has thermal conductivity. As a method for forming the DLC film, there are a plasma CVD method, a thermal CVD method, a photo CVD method, a sputtering method, and the like, which can be formed at a low temperature of about 200 ° C. (that is, a temperature range suitable for a semiconductor process).
 また、本実施形態において、貫通電極2と連結する第1の凹部3、及び貫通電極2と連結しない第2の凹部8のそれぞれのサイズ及び形状は特に限定されない。例えば、第1の凹部3及び第2の凹部8のサイズ及び形状の両方が同一であってもよいし、或いは、第1の凹部3及び第2の凹部8のサイズ及び形状の少なくとも一方が異なっていてもよい。また、第2の凹部8は、半導体基板1の外側に達する溝であってもよい。 In the present embodiment, the size and shape of the first recess 3 that is connected to the through electrode 2 and the second recess 8 that is not connected to the through electrode 2 are not particularly limited. For example, both the size and shape of the first recess 3 and the second recess 8 may be the same, or at least one of the size and shape of the first recess 3 and the second recess 8 is different. It may be. The second recess 8 may be a groove reaching the outside of the semiconductor substrate 1.
 また、本実施形態に係る半導体装置及びその製造方法は、チップ-チップ積層(ウェハダイシングにより得られたチップ状態の半導体装置同士の積層)、チップ-ウェーハ積層(チップ状態の半導体装置と、ダイシング前のウェーハ状態の半導体装置との積層)、又はウェーハ-ウェーハ積層(ウェーハ状態の半導体装置同士の積層)された半導体装置及びその製造方法のいずれにも適用可能である。 In addition, the semiconductor device and the manufacturing method thereof according to the present embodiment include chip-chip stacking (stacking of chip-state semiconductor devices obtained by wafer dicing), chip-wafer stacking (chip-state semiconductor device and pre-dicing semiconductor device). The semiconductor device can be applied to any of the semiconductor devices in which the wafer state semiconductor device is stacked) or the wafer-wafer stack (lamination of the semiconductor devices in the wafer state) and the manufacturing method thereof.
 (第1の実施形態の変形例)
 以下、本発明の第1の実施形態の変形例に係る半導体装置及びその製造方法について、図面を参照しながら説明する。本変形例が前述の第1の実施形態と異なっている点は、半導体基板1の裏面1bに、貫通電極2を露出させない(つまり貫通電極2と連結していない)第2の凹部8が形成されていないことである。すなわち、貫通電極2を露出させる(つまり貫通電極2と連結している)第1の凹部3のみによって十分な放熱効率が得られる場合には、第2の凹部8を設けなくてもよい。
(Modification of the first embodiment)
Hereinafter, a semiconductor device and a manufacturing method thereof according to a modification of the first embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. This modification is different from the first embodiment described above in that a second recess 8 is formed on the back surface 1b of the semiconductor substrate 1 so that the through electrode 2 is not exposed (that is, not connected to the through electrode 2). It is not done. That is, when sufficient heat radiation efficiency can be obtained only by the first recess 3 exposing the through electrode 2 (that is, connected to the through electrode 2), the second recess 8 may not be provided.
 図4(a)~(c)及び図5(a)~(c)は、本変形例に係る半導体装置の製造方法の各工程を示す断面図である。 4 (a) to 4 (c) and FIGS. 5 (a) to 5 (c) are cross-sectional views showing respective steps of a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device according to this modification.
 まず、図4(a)に示すように、貫通電極2が素子形成面の反対面(裏面1b)に露出しないように埋設されている半導体基板1を準備する。半導体基板1の素子形成面(表面1a)側には、トランジスタ11等の各種の機能素子が形成されている。また、半導体基板1の表面1a上には、貫通電極2及びトランジスタ11等と電気的に接続する多層配線を有する配線層12が形成されている。貫通電極2は、半導体基板1の裏面1b側からの平面視において、例えば5μm□の方形状を有している。また、貫通電極2は、配線層12の内部に達するように形成されていると共に、貫通電極2の側壁は、バリア膜(図示省略)を挟んで絶縁膜13によって覆われている。 First, as shown in FIG. 4A, a semiconductor substrate 1 is prepared in which a through electrode 2 is buried so as not to be exposed on the surface opposite to the element formation surface (back surface 1b). Various functional elements such as the transistor 11 are formed on the element formation surface (front surface 1 a) side of the semiconductor substrate 1. Further, on the surface 1 a of the semiconductor substrate 1, a wiring layer 12 having a multilayer wiring that is electrically connected to the through electrode 2 and the transistor 11 is formed. The through electrode 2 has, for example, a 5 μm square shape in plan view from the back surface 1 b side of the semiconductor substrate 1. The through electrode 2 is formed so as to reach the inside of the wiring layer 12, and the side wall of the through electrode 2 is covered with an insulating film 13 with a barrier film (not shown) interposed therebetween.
 次に、図4(b)に示すように、例えばCMPを用いて半導体基板1を裏面1b側から研磨し、当該研磨後の裏面1bに貫通電極2が露出しないように半導体基板1の厚さを薄くする。 Next, as shown in FIG. 4B, the semiconductor substrate 1 is polished from the back surface 1b side using, for example, CMP, and the thickness of the semiconductor substrate 1 is set so that the through electrode 2 is not exposed to the back surface 1b after the polishing. Thin out.
 次に、図4(c)に示すように、半導体基板1の裏面1b側からの平面視において貫通電極2の直上を包含する領域に例えば20μm□の矩形状の開口部を有するレジストパターン(図示省略)を形成した後、当該レジストパターンをマスクとして、半導体基板1に対してドライエッチングを行い、その後、当該レジストパターンを除去する。これにより、半導体基板1の裏面1bに、貫通電極2の少なくとも端面(底面)を露出させる第1の凹部3を形成する。ここで、第1の凹部3は、貫通電極2の底面よりも大きい底部を有している。また、第1の凹部3の深さは、例えば10μm程度である。 Next, as shown in FIG. 4C, a resist pattern having a rectangular opening of, for example, 20 μm square in a region including the portion directly above the through electrode 2 in a plan view from the back surface 1b side of the semiconductor substrate 1 (illustrated). (Omitted) is formed, and then the semiconductor substrate 1 is dry-etched using the resist pattern as a mask, and then the resist pattern is removed. As a result, the first recess 3 is formed on the back surface 1 b of the semiconductor substrate 1 to expose at least the end surface (bottom surface) of the through electrode 2. Here, the first recess 3 has a bottom portion larger than the bottom surface of the through electrode 2. The depth of the first recess 3 is, for example, about 10 μm.
 次に、図5(a)に示すように、半導体基板1の裏面1b上に、第1の凹部3の内面を覆うように、例えばCVD法を用いて、例えば厚さ500nm程度のシリコン酸化膜からなる第1の絶縁膜4を形成する。その後、第1の絶縁膜4における貫通電極2の底面上に形成されている部分のみを例えばドライエッチング法を用いて除去する。 Next, as shown in FIG. 5A, a silicon oxide film having a thickness of, for example, about 500 nm is formed on the back surface 1b of the semiconductor substrate 1 by using, for example, a CVD method so as to cover the inner surface of the first recess 3. A first insulating film 4 made of is formed. Thereafter, only the portion of the first insulating film 4 formed on the bottom surface of the through electrode 2 is removed using, for example, a dry etching method.
 次に、例えばスパッタ法により、第1の絶縁膜4上にバリア膜として例えば厚さ100nm程度のTiN膜(図示省略)を形成した後、例えばスパッタ法により、当該TiN膜上に例えば厚さ20nm程度のCuシード膜(図示省略)を形成する。その後、第1の凹部3上を含む所定の領域に開口を持つレジストパターン(図示省略)をマスクとして、図5(b)に示すように、例えば電解メッキ法により、前記Cuシード膜上に例えば厚さ1μm程度のCu膜からなる導電膜5を形成する。ここで、導電膜5は、貫通電極2の底面と接続すると共に、第1の凹部3の外側まで延びている。また、導電膜5は、後述する電極6(図5(c)参照)と貫通電極2とを電気的に接続するための引き出し配線部分とは別に、第1の凹部3の外側の半導体基板1の裏面1b上に、放熱効率を向上させるための放熱部5aを有している。図6は、放熱部5aを半導体基板1の裏面1b側から見た平面図である。図6に示すように、放熱部5aは、導電膜5の他の部分と比較して幅広形状を持つ。 Next, a TiN film (not shown) having a thickness of, for example, about 100 nm is formed as a barrier film on the first insulating film 4 by, for example, sputtering, and then, for example, 20 nm in thickness is formed on the TiN film by, for example, sputtering. A Cu seed film (not shown) is formed. Then, using a resist pattern (not shown) having an opening in a predetermined region including the first concave portion 3 as a mask, as shown in FIG. 5B, for example, on the Cu seed film by, for example, electrolytic plating. A conductive film 5 made of a Cu film having a thickness of about 1 μm is formed. Here, the conductive film 5 is connected to the bottom surface of the through electrode 2 and extends to the outside of the first recess 3. In addition, the conductive film 5 is provided on the semiconductor substrate 1 outside the first recess 3 separately from the lead-out wiring portion for electrically connecting the electrode 6 (see FIG. 5C) described later and the through electrode 2. On the back surface 1b, there is a heat dissipating part 5a for improving the heat dissipating efficiency. FIG. 6 is a plan view of the heat radiating portion 5 a as viewed from the back surface 1 b side of the semiconductor substrate 1. As shown in FIG. 6, the heat radiating portion 5 a has a wider shape than the other portions of the conductive film 5.
 その後、前記レジストパターンを除去した後、導電膜5をマスクとして、例えばドライエッチングにより、導電膜5が形成されていない領域の前記TiN膜及び前記Cuシード膜を除去する。 Then, after removing the resist pattern, the TiN film and the Cu seed film in a region where the conductive film 5 is not formed are removed by dry etching, for example, using the conductive film 5 as a mask.
 次に、図5(c)に示すように、第1の凹部3の外側に位置する部分の導電膜5上に、例えば半田バンプからなる電極6を形成する。その後、例えばCVD法を用いて、第1の凹部3の内面上を含む半導体基板1の裏面1b上の全面に亘って、例えば厚さ500nm程度のシリコン酸化膜からなる第2の絶縁膜7を形成した後、導電膜5を完全に覆い且つ電極6の少なくとも上面を露出させるように第2の絶縁膜7をパターニングする。 Next, as shown in FIG. 5C, an electrode 6 made of, for example, a solder bump is formed on a portion of the conductive film 5 located outside the first recess 3. Thereafter, the second insulating film 7 made of, for example, a silicon oxide film having a thickness of about 500 nm is formed over the entire surface of the back surface 1b of the semiconductor substrate 1 including the inner surface of the first recess 3 by using, for example, the CVD method. After the formation, the second insulating film 7 is patterned so as to completely cover the conductive film 5 and expose at least the upper surface of the electrode 6.
 以上のようにして、本変形例の半導体装置が完成する。 As described above, the semiconductor device of this modification is completed.
 図7(a)は、半導体基板(ウェーハ)1の各チップ領域50に本変形例の半導体装置が形成されている様子を裏面1b側から見た図(鳥瞰図)であり、図7(b)は、1つのチップ領域50に第1の凹部3が形成されている様子を裏面1b側から見た図(鳥瞰図)であり、図7(c)は、チップ領域50に配置された貫通電極2及び第1の凹部3の斜視図(半透視図)である。また、図7(d)は、電極6及び第2の絶縁膜7を形成する前の第1の凹部3(貫通電極2を含む)の拡大断面図である。尚、図7(d)においては、図5(b)及び(c)で図示を省略したバリア膜(TiN膜)14を示している。 FIG. 7A is a view (bird's eye view) of a state in which the semiconductor device of the present modification is formed in each chip region 50 of the semiconductor substrate (wafer) 1 as viewed from the back surface 1b side. FIG. 7C is a view (bird's eye view) of a state in which the first concave portion 3 is formed in one chip region 50 from the back surface 1b side, and FIG. 7C is a through electrode 2 arranged in the chip region 50. FIG. 3 is a perspective view (semi-transparent view) of the first recess 3. FIG. 7D is an enlarged cross-sectional view of the first recess 3 (including the through electrode 2) before the electrode 6 and the second insulating film 7 are formed. FIG. 7D shows a barrier film (TiN film) 14 that is not shown in FIGS. 5B and 5C.
 本変形例によると、半導体基板1の裏面1bに、貫通電極2の端面を露出させる(つまり貫通電極2と連結する)放熱用凹部(第1の凹部3)が設けられている。このため、半導体基板1の素子形成面(表面1a)で発生し且つ貫通電極2を経由して裏面1bまで伝わってきた熱を第1の凹部3から放熱することができるので、貫通電極を露出させない(つまり貫通電極と連結しない)放熱用凹部しか基板裏面に設けられていない従来構造と比較して、3次元集積化技術を適用した場合にも放熱効率を十分に向上させることができる。また、第1の凹部3における貫通電極2の端面を除く内面を覆うように半導体基板1の裏面1b上に第1の絶縁膜4が形成されているため、貫通電極2の端面と接続する導電膜5(つまり引き出し配線)の形成に起因する貫通電極2と半導体基板1との電気的な短絡を確実に防止することができる。 According to this modification, a heat radiation recess (first recess 3) is provided on the back surface 1b of the semiconductor substrate 1 to expose the end face of the through electrode 2 (that is, to be connected to the through electrode 2). For this reason, the heat generated on the element formation surface (front surface 1a) of the semiconductor substrate 1 and transmitted to the back surface 1b via the through electrode 2 can be radiated from the first recess 3, so that the through electrode is exposed. Compared with a conventional structure in which only the heat radiation recess is not provided on the back surface of the substrate (that is, not connected to the through electrode), the heat radiation efficiency can be sufficiently improved even when the three-dimensional integration technique is applied. In addition, since the first insulating film 4 is formed on the back surface 1 b of the semiconductor substrate 1 so as to cover the inner surface of the first recess 3 except for the end surface of the through electrode 2, the conductive material connected to the end surface of the through electrode 2. It is possible to reliably prevent an electrical short circuit between the through electrode 2 and the semiconductor substrate 1 due to the formation of the film 5 (that is, the lead wiring).
 また、本変形例によると、発熱源(半導体基板1の素子形成面(表面1a))からの熱が蓄積されている貫通電極2に接続する導電膜(本実施形態ではCu膜)5が第1の凹部3内にも形成されているため、熱伝導率の高い導電膜5の表面積が増大するので、放熱効率をさらに高めることが可能となる。ここで、本変形例では、導電膜5が、貫通電極2の引き出し配線となる部分とは別に、第1の凹部3の外側の半導体基板1の裏面1b上に放熱部5a(図6参照)を有しているため、放熱効率をより一層向上させることができる。 Further, according to the present modification, the conductive film (Cu film in this embodiment) 5 connected to the through electrode 2 in which heat from the heat source (element formation surface (surface 1a) of the semiconductor substrate 1) is accumulated is the first. Since the surface area of the conductive film 5 having a high thermal conductivity is increased, the heat radiation efficiency can be further increased. Here, in this modification, apart from the portion where the conductive film 5 becomes the lead wiring of the through electrode 2, the heat radiating portion 5 a (see FIG. 6) is formed on the back surface 1 b of the semiconductor substrate 1 outside the first recess 3. Therefore, the heat dissipation efficiency can be further improved.
 尚、本変形例では、半導体基板1の裏面1b上に形成する第1の絶縁膜4として、CVD法により形成されたシリコン酸化膜を用いた。しかし、これに代えて、第1の絶縁膜4として、熱伝導率がシリコン酸化膜よりも高い(具体的には、熱伝導率が1.5W/(m・K)以上の)絶縁材料を用いることにより、放熱性をさらに向上させることが可能となる。例えば、低ストレスアモルファスシリコン窒化膜(熱導電率は最大4W/(m・K)程度)、及びダイヤモンドライクカーボン(DLC)膜(熱導電率は最大30W/(m・K)程度)等は、極めて有用な絶縁材料である。ここで、DLC膜は、ダイヤモンドのsp結合とグラファイトのsp結合の両者を炭素原子の骨格構造としたアモルファス炭素膜であり、絶縁性を有していながら、シリコン酸化膜の20倍以上の熱伝導率を有する。DLC膜の形成方法としては、プラズマCVD法、熱CVD法、光CVD法、スパッタ法などがあり、200℃程度の低温(つまり半導体プロセスに適合した温度範囲)で成膜可能である。 In this modification, a silicon oxide film formed by a CVD method is used as the first insulating film 4 formed on the back surface 1b of the semiconductor substrate 1. However, instead of this, an insulating material having a higher thermal conductivity than the silicon oxide film (specifically, a thermal conductivity of 1.5 W / (m · K) or more) is used as the first insulating film 4. By using it, it becomes possible to further improve heat dissipation. For example, a low stress amorphous silicon nitride film (thermal conductivity is about 4 W / (m · K) at maximum), a diamond-like carbon (DLC) film (thermal conductivity is about 30 W / (m · K) at maximum), etc. It is a very useful insulating material. Here, the DLC film is an amorphous carbon film in which both the sp 3 bond of diamond and the sp 2 bond of graphite have a skeleton structure of carbon atoms. Has thermal conductivity. As a method for forming the DLC film, there are a plasma CVD method, a thermal CVD method, a photo CVD method, a sputtering method, and the like, which can be formed at a low temperature of about 200 ° C. (that is, a temperature range suitable for a semiconductor process).
 また、本変形例に係る半導体装置及びその製造方法は、チップ-チップ積層(ウェハダイシングにより得られたチップ状態の半導体装置同士の積層)、チップ-ウェーハ積層(チップ状態の半導体装置と、ダイシング前のウェーハ状態の半導体装置との積層)、又はウェーハ-ウェーハ積層(ウェーハ状態の半導体装置同士の積層)された半導体装置及びその製造方法のいずれにも適用可能である。 In addition, the semiconductor device and the manufacturing method thereof according to this modification include chip-chip stacking (stacking of chip-state semiconductor devices obtained by wafer dicing), chip-wafer stacking (chip-state semiconductor device and pre-dicing semiconductor device). The semiconductor device can be applied to any of the semiconductor devices in which the wafer state semiconductor device is stacked) or the wafer-wafer stack (lamination of the semiconductor devices in the wafer state) and the manufacturing method thereof.
 (第2の実施形態)
 以下、本発明の第2の実施形態に係る半導体装置及びその製造方法について、図面を参照しながら説明する。
(Second Embodiment)
Hereinafter, a semiconductor device and a manufacturing method thereof according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
 図8(a)~(c)及び図9(a)、(b)は、第2の実施形態に係る半導体装置の製造方法の各工程を示す断面図である。 FIGS. 8A to 8C and FIGS. 9A and 9B are cross-sectional views showing respective steps of the semiconductor device manufacturing method according to the second embodiment.
 まず、図8(a)に示すように、貫通電極2が素子形成面の反対面(裏面1b)に露出しないように埋設されている半導体基板1を準備する。半導体基板1の素子形成面(表面1a)側には、トランジスタ11等の各種の機能素子が形成されている。また、半導体基板1の表面1a上には、貫通電極2及びトランジスタ11等と電気的に接続する多層配線を有する配線層12が形成されている。貫通電極2は、半導体基板1の裏面1b側からの平面視において、例えば5μm□の方形状を有している。また、貫通電極2は、配線層12の内部に達するように形成されていると共に、貫通電極2の側壁は、バリア膜(図示省略)を挟んで絶縁膜13によって覆われている。 First, as shown in FIG. 8A, a semiconductor substrate 1 is prepared in which the through electrode 2 is buried so as not to be exposed on the opposite surface (back surface 1b) of the element formation surface. Various functional elements such as the transistor 11 are formed on the element formation surface (front surface 1 a) side of the semiconductor substrate 1. Further, on the surface 1 a of the semiconductor substrate 1, a wiring layer 12 having a multilayer wiring that is electrically connected to the through electrode 2 and the transistor 11 is formed. The through electrode 2 has, for example, a 5 μm square shape in plan view from the back surface 1 b side of the semiconductor substrate 1. The through electrode 2 is formed so as to reach the inside of the wiring layer 12, and the side wall of the through electrode 2 is covered with an insulating film 13 with a barrier film (not shown) interposed therebetween.
 次に、図8(b)に示すように、例えばCMPを用いて半導体基板1を裏面1b側から研磨し、当該研磨後の裏面1bに貫通電極2が露出するように半導体基板1の厚さを薄くする。その後、半導体基板1の裏面1bに対して、エッチングを行うことにより、貫通電極2の端部(底部)を、エッチング後の裏面1bから高さにして例えば400nm程度突き出させる。このとき、貫通電極2の突き出し部分の側壁を覆う絶縁膜13を除去してもよい。 Next, as shown in FIG. 8B, the thickness of the semiconductor substrate 1 is such that the semiconductor substrate 1 is polished from the back surface 1b side using, for example, CMP, and the through electrode 2 is exposed on the back surface 1b after the polishing. Thin out. Thereafter, by etching the back surface 1b of the semiconductor substrate 1, the end portion (bottom portion) of the through electrode 2 is raised from the back surface 1b after the etching, for example, by about 400 nm. At this time, the insulating film 13 covering the side wall of the protruding portion of the through electrode 2 may be removed.
 次に、図8(c)に示すように、貫通電極2の底部が露出した半導体基板1の裏面1b上に、高い熱伝導性を持つ絶縁膜として、例えば厚さ200nm程度のダイヤモンドライクカーボン膜9を形成する。 Next, as shown in FIG. 8C, a diamond-like carbon film having a thickness of, for example, about 200 nm is formed as an insulating film having high thermal conductivity on the back surface 1b of the semiconductor substrate 1 where the bottom of the through electrode 2 is exposed. 9 is formed.
 次に、図9(a)に示すように、ダイヤモンドライクカーボン膜9上に例えば厚さ500nm程度のレジスト10を形成する。 Next, as shown in FIG. 9A, a resist 10 having a thickness of, for example, about 500 nm is formed on the diamond-like carbon film 9.
 次に、レジスト10を用いてエッチバックを行うことにより、図9(b)に示すように、貫通電極2の底面上のダイヤモンドライクカーボン膜9を選択的に除去する。これによって、貫通電極2の底面が露出すると共に、半導体基板1の裏面1bから突き出た部分の貫通電極2の側壁上、及び貫通電極2の周辺を含む半導体基板1の裏面1b上にダイヤモンドライクカーボン膜9を残存させることができる。その後、露出した貫通電極2の底面上に、例えば半田バンプからなる電極6を形成する。 Next, by performing etch back using the resist 10, the diamond-like carbon film 9 on the bottom surface of the through electrode 2 is selectively removed as shown in FIG. 9B. As a result, the bottom surface of the through electrode 2 is exposed, and the diamond-like carbon is formed on the side wall of the through electrode 2 protruding from the back surface 1 b of the semiconductor substrate 1 and on the back surface 1 b of the semiconductor substrate 1 including the periphery of the through electrode 2. The film 9 can remain. Thereafter, an electrode 6 made of, for example, a solder bump is formed on the exposed bottom surface of the through electrode 2.
 以上のようにして、本実施形態の半導体装置が完成する。 As described above, the semiconductor device of this embodiment is completed.
 第2の実施形態によると、貫通電極2が露出する半導体基板1の裏面1b上に、熱伝導率が最大30W/(m・K)程度になるダイヤモンドライクカーボン膜9が形成されている。このため、半導体基板1の素子形成面(表面1a)で発生し且つ貫通電極2を経由して裏面1bまで伝わってきた熱を極めて効率的に放熱することができるので、3次元集積化技術を適用した場合にも放熱効率を十分に向上させることができる。また、ダイヤモンドライクカーボン膜9は絶縁性を有しているので、ダイヤモンドライクカーボン膜9に起因する貫通電極2と半導体基板1との電気的な短絡を確実に防止することができる。 According to the second embodiment, the diamond-like carbon film 9 having a maximum thermal conductivity of about 30 W / (m · K) is formed on the back surface 1b of the semiconductor substrate 1 where the through electrode 2 is exposed. For this reason, the heat generated on the element formation surface (front surface 1a) of the semiconductor substrate 1 and transmitted to the back surface 1b via the through electrode 2 can be dissipated very efficiently. Even when applied, the heat dissipation efficiency can be sufficiently improved. Further, since the diamond-like carbon film 9 has an insulating property, it is possible to reliably prevent an electrical short circuit between the through electrode 2 and the semiconductor substrate 1 due to the diamond-like carbon film 9.
 また、第2の実施形態によると、貫通電極2の底部が半導体基板1の裏面1bから突き出ていると共に、当該突き出し部分の側壁にダイヤモンドライクカーボン膜9が接しているため、放熱効率をより一層向上させることができる。 In addition, according to the second embodiment, the bottom of the through electrode 2 protrudes from the back surface 1b of the semiconductor substrate 1, and the diamond-like carbon film 9 is in contact with the side wall of the protruding portion. Can be improved.
 尚、第2の実施形態において、半導体基板1の裏面1bからの貫通電極2の突き出し部分の高さが十分であれば、電極6を形成しなくてもよい。また、貫通電極2の底部を半導体基板1の裏面1bから突き出させなくてもよい。また、例えば図10(a)に示すように、ダイヤモンドライクカーボン膜9と貫通電極2とが離間していてもよい。また、例えば図10(b)に示すように、半導体基板1の裏面1bに、貫通電極2の少なくとも端面(底面)を露出させる第1の凹部3を設けてもよい。このようにすると、半導体基板1の裏面1bの実質的な表面積を増大させることができるので、放熱効率をより一層向上させることができる。また、この場合、図10(b)に示すように、ダイヤモンドライクカーボン膜9が、第1の凹部3における貫通電極2の底面を除く内面を覆っていると、特に、第1の凹部3における貫通電極2の突き出し部分の側壁にダイヤモンドライクカーボン膜9が接していると、放熱効率をさらに向上させることができる。 In the second embodiment, the electrode 6 may not be formed if the height of the protruding portion of the through electrode 2 from the back surface 1b of the semiconductor substrate 1 is sufficient. Further, the bottom portion of the through electrode 2 may not protrude from the back surface 1 b of the semiconductor substrate 1. For example, as shown in FIG. 10A, the diamond-like carbon film 9 and the through electrode 2 may be separated from each other. For example, as illustrated in FIG. 10B, a first recess 3 that exposes at least an end surface (bottom surface) of the through electrode 2 may be provided on the back surface 1 b of the semiconductor substrate 1. In this way, since the substantial surface area of the back surface 1b of the semiconductor substrate 1 can be increased, the heat dissipation efficiency can be further improved. Further, in this case, as shown in FIG. 10B, when the diamond-like carbon film 9 covers the inner surface except the bottom surface of the through electrode 2 in the first recess 3, particularly in the first recess 3. When the diamond-like carbon film 9 is in contact with the side wall of the protruding portion of the through electrode 2, the heat dissipation efficiency can be further improved.
 また、本実施形態に係る半導体装置及びその製造方法は、チップ-チップ積層(ウェハダイシングにより得られたチップ状態の半導体装置同士の積層)、チップ-ウェーハ積層(チップ状態の半導体装置と、ダイシング前のウェーハ状態の半導体装置との積層)、又はウェーハ-ウェーハ積層(ウェーハ状態の半導体装置同士の積層)された半導体装置及びその製造方法のいずれにも適用可能である。 In addition, the semiconductor device and the manufacturing method thereof according to the present embodiment include chip-chip stacking (stacking of chip-state semiconductor devices obtained by wafer dicing), chip-wafer stacking (chip-state semiconductor device and pre-dicing semiconductor device). The semiconductor device can be applied to any of the semiconductor devices in which the wafer state semiconductor device is stacked) or the wafer-wafer stack (lamination of the semiconductor devices in the wafer state) and the manufacturing method thereof.
 以上に説明したように、本発明に係る半導体装置及びその製造方法は、貫通電極と半導体基板との電気的な短絡を防止しつつ、基板裏面に貫通電極と連結する放熱用凹部を設けることにより、又は、基板裏面上に貫通電極若しくはその近傍に達する絶縁性高放熱材料膜を設けることにより、放熱効率の高い放熱構造を実現するものであり、特に、チップ-チップ積層、チップ-ウェーハ積層又はウェーハ-ウェーハ積層された半導体装置及びその製造方法等において有用である。 As described above, the semiconductor device and the manufacturing method thereof according to the present invention are provided by providing a heat radiation recess connected to the through electrode on the back surface of the substrate while preventing an electrical short circuit between the through electrode and the semiconductor substrate. Alternatively, by providing an insulating high heat dissipation material film that reaches the through electrode or the vicinity thereof on the back surface of the substrate, a heat dissipation structure with high heat dissipation efficiency is realized. In particular, chip-chip stacking, chip-wafer stacking or This is useful in a wafer-wafer stacked semiconductor device, a manufacturing method thereof, and the like.
