Definitions
- the present disclosure relates to a semiconductor device having a through hole for connecting a back surface electrode and a front surface electrode, and a method for manufacturing the same.
- a high electron mobility transistor (HEMT: High Electron Mobility Transistor) for high-frequency operation is formed of a compound semiconductor such as a nitride semiconductor.
- a through hole called a via hole is formed in a semiconductor substrate in order to connect a ground terminal which is a back surface electrode and a front surface electrode.
- the thickness of a semiconductor substrate such as GaN on SiC is generally about 50 um to 100 um.
- a through hole is formed on this substrate by dry etching, a large amount of residue is deposited on the inner side wall and the bottom surface of the through hole.
- Fluorine-based dry etching used in selective etching of GaN is effective for forming through holes, but it cannot suppress the generation of side wall residue and bottom surface residue. Therefore, it is necessary to remove the residue by using a strong acid solution such as concentrated hydrochloric acid.
- the base layer of the surface electrode becomes the metal that receives the dry etching.
- Commonly used Ti-based ohmic electrodes are vulnerable to strong acid solutions and dissolve at high etching rates. As a result, reliability is reduced.
- the base layer of the surface electrode is formed of a stable metal having high etching selectivity, long-term reliability cannot be guaranteed by penetrating the surface electrode or side etching. Therefore, Pt (platinum) having a positive standard redox potential in ionization tendency is adopted as the etching receiving metal for the base layer of the surface electrode (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
- Pt has a large film stress and low adhesion to GaN. Therefore, if Pt is used as the base layer of the surface electrode, there is a high risk of peeling of the surface electrode, which affects another reliability.
- the present disclosure has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and the purpose thereof is to obtain a highly reliable semiconductor device and its manufacturing method.
- the semiconductor device includes a semiconductor substrate having front surfaces and back surfaces facing each other, through holes penetrating from the back surface to the front surface, and a metal formed in a ring shape on the front surface so as to surround the through holes.
- a surface electrode having a film, a through hole and a wiring electrode covering the metal film, and bonded to the front surface outside the metal film, and formed on the back surface and the through hole and connected to the wiring electrode.
- the metal film is characterized by having a lower ionization tendency and a higher work function than the wiring electrode.
- a metal film is formed on the surface of the semiconductor substrate so as to surround the through hole. Since the metal film has a lower ionization tendency than the surface electrode, it has high wet resistance to a strongly acidic solution. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the side etching of the surface electrode in the wet etching for removing the side wall residue after the formation of the through hole. Further, the surface electrode is bonded to the surface of the semiconductor substrate on the outside of the metal film having low adhesion. As a result, it is possible to prevent abnormalities such as metal floating of the surface electrode and improve reliability.

- FIG. It is sectional drawing which shows the manufacturing method of the semiconductor device which concerns on Embodiment 2.
- FIG. 1 is a plan view showing a semiconductor device according to the first embodiment.
- the active region 2 of the transistor is formed on the semiconductor substrate 1.
- a transistor having a plurality of source electrodes 3, gate electrodes 4, and drain electrodes 5 is formed.
- a source pad 6, a gate pad 7, and a drain pad 8 are provided on the semiconductor substrate 1.
- the source pad 6 is connected to a plurality of source electrodes 3.
- the gate pad 7 is connected to the gate electrode 4.
- the drain pad 8 is connected to a plurality of drain electrodes 5.
- FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the source pad portion of FIG. In FIG. 2, the insulating film of the electrode, the gate electrode, the drain electrode, and the like are not shown.
- FIG. 3 is an enlarged plan view of the source pad portion of FIG. 1.
- the semiconductor substrate 1 has a SiC substrate 1a and a GaN layer 1b formed on the SiC substrate 1a.
- the through hole 9 penetrates from the back surface to the front surface of the semiconductor substrate 1.
- the metal film 10 is formed in a ring shape on the surface of the semiconductor substrate 1 so as to surround the through hole 9.
- the metal film 10 is a single-layer metal made of any of Pt, Ni, and Ta, or a multi-layer metal having the metal as the lowermost layer.
- the source pad 6 is formed on the surface of the semiconductor substrate 1.
- the source pad 6 has wiring electrodes 11 and 12, which are sequentially laminated, a surface feeding layer 13, and a surface plating 14.
- the wiring electrodes 11 and 12 cover the through hole 9 and the metal film 10.
- the wiring electrode 11 is bonded to the surface of the semiconductor substrate 1 on the outside of the metal film 10. Since the wiring electrode 11 is in contact with the GaN layer 1b, it is preferably a metal such as Ti.
- the forming range of the wiring electrodes 11 and 12 is smaller than that of the surface feeding layer 13 and the surface plating 14, and larger than that of the metal film 10.
- the back surface electrode 15 is formed on the back surface of the semiconductor substrate 1 and inside the through hole 9, and is directly in contact with and connected to the wiring electrodes 11 and 12.
- the back surface electrode 15 has a back surface feeding layer 16 and a back surface plating 17 laminated in this order.
- the front surface plating 14 and the back surface plating 17 are, for example, Au plating.
- the metal film 10 has a lower ionization tendency and a higher work function than the wiring electrodes 11 and 12. Therefore, Pt is most preferable as the material of the metal film 10, but other metals such as Ni or Ta can be used instead.
- FIGS. 6, 8, 10 and 12 are plan views showing a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device according to the first embodiment. Details of the electrode forming method, thinning of the plate, etc. will be omitted.
- the GaN layer 1b is epitaxially grown on the SiC substrate 1a to form the semiconductor substrate 1.
- a metal film 10 is formed in a ring shape on the surface of the semiconductor substrate 1. Since the metal film 10 is patterned in a ring shape by lift-off, for example, a highly anisotropic sputtering method, for example, a long slow sputtering method, is preferable as a film forming method for the metal film 10. Alternatively, the metal film 10 can be formed in a ring shape by performing lift-off using a two-layer resist. From the viewpoint of adhesion, the thickness of the metal film 10 is preferably about several nm to several tens of nm.
- the wiring electrodes 11 and 12 are formed on the surface of the semiconductor substrate 1 so as to cover the metal film 10 having low adhesion to the GaN layer 1b.
- the wiring electrode 11 is bonded to the surface of the semiconductor substrate 1 on the outside of the metal film 10.
- the wiring electrode 12 is used as a receiving metal during dry etching to form a through hole 9, and generally a metal that alloys with Ti to form a stable metal is preferable. Therefore, the material of the wiring electrode 12 is preferably Au or the like, but it may be a single-layer metal or a multi-layer metal. However, if the wiring electrode 12 contains the material of the metal film 10 such as Pt, a residue that is difficult to remove when the through hole 9 is formed is generated. Therefore, it is preferable that the wiring electrode 12 does not contain the material of the metal film 10.
- the surface feeding layer 13 is formed so as to completely cover the wiring electrode 12.
- the material of the surface feeding layer 13 is preferably an alloy using Pt, for example, Ti / Pt / Au or the like.
- Au plating is performed to form the surface plating 14 on the surface feeding layer 13.
- the wafer process on the front side is completed.
- a metal mask 18 such as Ni having an opening at the through hole forming portion is formed.
- the SiC substrate 1a and the GaN layer 1b are sequentially etched from the back surface of the semiconductor substrate 1 by selective dry etching using a fluorine-based gas to form a through hole 9.
- the through hole 9 reaches the wiring electrodes 11 and 12 inside the ring-shaped metal film 10.
- the wiring electrode 11 on the bottom surface of the through hole 9 disappears by dry etching, and etching is stopped at the wiring electrode 12 that functions as a receiving metal.
- Residue is generated on the side wall of the through hole 9 during dry etching. Therefore, wet etching with a strongly acidic solution such as concentrated hydrochloric acid is performed to remove the residue.
- the wiring electrode 11 made of Ti has low wet resistance to a strongly acidic solution. Without the metal film 10, side etching proceeds from the side wall of the bottom surface of the through hole 9, so that an abnormality such as metal floating of the source pad 6 occurs, and reliability including moisture resistance deteriorates. Side etching can be suppressed by providing the metal film 10.
- a back surface feeding layer 16 made of, for example, Ti / Au or the like is formed in the back surface of the semiconductor substrate 1 and the through hole 9 and connected to the wiring electrodes 11 and 12.
- Au plating is performed to form the back surface plating 17 on the back surface feeding layer 16.
- the back surface plating 17 is not limited to Au and may be Cu or the like.
- the metal film 10 is formed on the surface of the semiconductor substrate 1 so as to surround the through hole 9. Since the metal film 10 has a lower ionization tendency than the source pad 6, it has high wet resistance to a strongly acidic solution. Therefore, the side etching of the source pad 6 can be suppressed in the wet etching for removing the side wall residue after the formation of the through hole 9. Further, the source pad 6 is bonded to the surface of the semiconductor substrate 1 on the outside of the metal film 10 having low adhesion. As a result, it is possible to prevent abnormalities such as metal floating of the source pad 6 and improve reliability.
- the metal film 10 when the metal film 10 is formed not in the ring shape but in the entire formed region of the through hole 9, the metal film 10 becomes the receiving metal for dry etching.
- a residue containing Pt that cannot be removed by strong hydrochloric acid treatment is generated on the bottom surface of the through hole 9, which poses a problem in terms of reliability and appearance.
- a metal film 10 which is a high stress metal such as Pt in as small a range as possible, deterioration of adhesion can be suppressed.
- the metal film 10 has a higher work function than the source pad 6. Therefore, since the material of the metal film 10 can also be used for the gate electrode 4 which is Schottky-bonded to the surface of the semiconductor substrate 1, the metal film 10 can be formed at the same time as the gate electrode 4 of the transistor. Therefore, since it is not necessary to add a new process for forming the metal film 10, it is possible to prevent an increase in the number of processes and the product cost.
- the gate electrode 4 includes a film made of the same material as the metal film 10.
- the wiring electrodes 11 and 12 in contact with the back surface electrode 15 formed in the through hole 9 is dry-etched when the through hole 9 is formed. It is preferable that the wiring electrodes 11 and 12 do not contain Pt in order to prevent the generation of a residue containing Pt.
- FIG. 14 is a cross-sectional view showing the semiconductor device according to the second embodiment. This figure is an enlargement of the transistor in the active layer region.
- a source electrode 3, a gate electrode 4, and a drain electrode 5 are formed on the surface of the semiconductor substrate 1.
- the through hole 9 is not formed in the source pad 6 as in the first embodiment, but the through hole 9 is formed in each source electrode 3 in the active region 2. That is, the source electrode 3 is an ISV (individual source via) type source electrode.
- the back surface electrode 15 is connected to the source electrode 3 via the through hole 9.
- the source electrode 3 further has an ohmic electrode 19 that is ohmic-bonded to the surface of the semiconductor substrate 1 outside the metal film 10.
- the gate electrode 4 has a gate base metal 4a that is Schottky-bonded to the surface of the semiconductor substrate 1 and a gate upper metal 4b formed on the gate base metal 4a.
- the semiconductor substrate 1 is formed by epitaxially growing the GaN layer 1b on the SiC substrate 1a.
- FIG. 16 shows a source electrode forming region 20 for forming an ISV type source electrode 3 and a gate electrode forming region 21 for forming a gate electrode 4 in a later step.
- an ohmic electrode 19 that is ohmic-bonded to the surface of the semiconductor substrate 1 is formed in the outer peripheral portion of the source electrode forming region 20.
- the ohmic electrode 19 is a single or a combination of metals such as Cu, Ti, Al, Au, Ni, Nb, Pd, Pt, Cr, W, Ta, and Mo.
- the ohmic electrode 19 is ohmic-bonded to the semiconductor substrate 1.
- the ohmic contact of the metal / semiconductor interface can be formed by forming multiple elements including non-metal elements on the semiconductor substrate by vapor deposition or the like and performing heat treatment such as annealing. After the heat treatment, a modified layer containing a plurality of elements is formed at the metal / semiconductor interface.
- a method of adding impurities to epitaxial growth, a method of diffusing impurities by ion implantation and thermal diffusion, or a method of combining a plurality of the above methods can be used.
- a metal film 10 is formed in a ring shape on the surface of the semiconductor substrate 1 inside the ohmic electrode 19.
- the material of the metal film 10 is the same as that of the first embodiment, and Pt metal is used here.
- the metal film 10 is also formed in the gate electrode forming region 21 and used as the gate base metal 4a of the gate electrode 4.
- the gate base metal 4a of the gate electrode 4 is formed at the same time as the metal film 10 in this way, it is possible to avoid an increase in the number of steps.
- the metal film 10 is flush with or overlaps with the ohmic electrode 19.
- the drain electrode 5 does not have to have the same shape as the ISV type source electrode 3 of the present embodiment.
- the wiring electrodes 11 and 12 are formed so as to cover the metal film 10 having low adhesion to the GaN layer 1b.
- the wiring electrode 11 is preferably a metal having high adhesion such as Ti. Further, the wiring electrodes 11 and 12 are formed internally with respect to the ohmic electrode 19 forming the ohmic contact.
- the gate electrode 4 is formed by forming the gate upper metal 4b on the metal film 10 of the gate electrode forming region 21.
- the gate electrode 4 may be a single layer of the metal film 10. In the case of a single layer, it is necessary to increase the film thickness of the metal film 10 because a gate cross section that can withstand the current capacity applied to one gate electrode 4 is required.
- the wiring electrode 12 is preferably a metal containing Au, but a metal such as Cu, Ti, Al, Au, Ni, Nb, Pd, Pt, Cr, W, Ta, and Mo may be used alone or in combination of two or more. However, if the wiring electrode 12 contains the material of the metal film 10 such as Pt, a residue that is difficult to remove when the through hole 9 is formed is generated. Therefore, it is preferable that the wiring electrode 12 does not contain the material of the metal film 10.
- the surface feeding layer 13 is formed so as to completely cover the wiring electrode 12.
- the surface feeding layer 13 is formed so as to be internally reserved for the ohmic electrode 19 and externally reserved for the wiring electrodes 11 and 12.
- the material of the surface feeding layer 13 is preferably an alloy using Pt, for example, Ti / Pt / Au or the like. Thereby, Br corrosion can be suppressed.
- Au plating is performed to form the surface plating 14 on the surface feeding layer 13.
- the wafer process on the front side is completed.
- the metal mask 18 is formed in the same manner as in the first embodiment, and the through holes 9 are formed by selective dry etching or the like.
- the through hole 9 is formed inside the ring-shaped metal film 10 in a plan view. Wet etching is performed to remove the side wall residue generated on the side wall of the through hole 9 during dry etching. By providing the metal film 10, side etching can be suppressed to prevent abnormalities such as metal floating, and reliability can be improved.
- the metal mask 18 is removed, and the back surface feeding layer 16 and the back surface plating 17 are formed in the back surface of the semiconductor substrate 1 and the through hole 9.
- the source electrode 3 is an ISV type source electrode and has the same configuration as the source pad 6 of the first embodiment. Therefore, the same effect as that of the first embodiment can be obtained.
- the metal film 10 made of Pt or the like having a high work function is characteristically undesirable as an ohmic electrode. Therefore, the ohmic electrode 19 is provided on the outer peripheral portion of the lower surface of the source electrode 3 without providing the metal film 10. As a result, deterioration of contact resistance can be suppressed.

図14は、実施の形態2に係る半導体装置を示す断面図である。この図は能動層領域のトランジスタを拡大したものである。半導体基板1の表面にソース電極3、ゲート電極4、ドレイン電極5が形成されている。実施の形態1のように貫通孔9をソースパッド6に形成するのではなく、能動領域2内の各ソース電極3に貫通孔9を形成している。即ち、ソース電極3はISV(individual source via)型ソース電極である。裏面電極15が貫通孔9を介してソース電極3に接続されている。ソース電極3は、実施の形態1のソースパッド6の構成に加えて、金属膜10よりも外側で半導体基板1の表面にオーミック接合するオーミック電極19を更に有する。ゲート電極4は、半導体基板1の表面にショットキー接合したゲート下地金属4aと、その上に形成されたゲート上地金属4bとを有する。
