具体实施方式
为了便于理解本公开实施例,下面将参考相关附图对本公开实施例进行更全面的描述。附图中给出了本公开实施例的首选实施例。但是,本公开实施例可以以许多不同的形式来实现,并不限于本文所描述的实施例。相反地,提供这些实施例的目的是使对本公开实施例的公开内容更加透彻全面。
除非另有定义,本文所使用的所有的技术和科学术语与属于本公开实施例的技术领域的技术人员通常理解的含义相同。本文中在本公开实施例的说明书中所使用的术语只是为了描述具体的实施例的目的,不是旨在于限制本公开实施例。本文所使用的术语“及/或”包括一个或多个相关的所列项目的任意的和所有的组合。
应当明白,当元件或层被称为“在...上”、“连接到”或“耦合到”其它元件或层时,其可以直接地在其它元件或层上、连接或耦合到其它元件或层,或者可以存在居间的元件或层。相反,当元件被称为“直接在...上”、“直接连接到”或“直接耦合到”其它元件或层时,则不存在居间的元件或层。应当明白,尽管可使用术语第一、第二、第三等描述各种元件、部件、区、层和/或部分,这些元件、部件、区、层和/或部分不应当被这些术语限制。这些术语仅仅用来区分一个元件、部件、区、层或部分与另一个元件、部件、区、层或部分。因此,在不脱离本公开实施例教导之下,下面讨论的第一元件、部件、 区、层或部分可表示为第二元件、部件、区、层或部分。
空间关系术语例如“在...下”、“在...下面”、“下面的”、“在...之下”、“在...之上”、“上面的”等,在这里可为了方便描述而被使用从而描述图中所示的一个元件或特征与其它元件或特征的关系。应当明白,除了图中所示的取向以外,空间关系术语意图还包括使用和操作中的器件的不同取向。例如,如果附图中的器件翻转,然后,描述为“在其它元件下面”或“在其之下”或“在其下”元件或特征将取向为在其它元件或特征“上”。因此,示例性术语“在...下面”和“在...下”可包括上和下两个取向。器件可以另外地取向(旋转90度或其它取向)并且在此使用的空间描述语相应地被解释。
在此使用的术语的目的仅在于描述具体实施例并且不作为本公开实施例的限制。在此使用时,单数形式的“一”、“一个”和“所述/该”也意图包括复数形式,除非上下文清楚指出另外的方式。还应明白术语“组成”和/或“包括”,当在该说明书中使用时,确定所述特征、整数、步骤、操作、元件和/或部件的存在,但不排除一个或更多其它的特征、整数、步骤、操作、元件、部件和/或组的存在或添加。在此使用时,术语“和/或”包括相关所列项目的任何及所有组合。
请参阅图1-图15。需要说明的是,本实施例中所提供的图示仅以示意方式说明本公开实施例的基本构想,虽图示中仅显示与本公开实施例中有关的组件而非按照实际实施时的组件数目、形状及尺寸绘制,其实际实施时各组件的型态、数量及比例可为一种随意的改变,且其组件布局型态也可能更为复杂。
目前,三维封装技术普遍使用硅通孔技术实现芯片与芯片间互联;硅通孔技术通过铜、钨、多晶硅等导电物质的填充,实现硅通孔的垂直电气互连,可以将信号从芯片的一面传导至芯片的另一面,并通过结合芯片堆叠技术,实现多层芯片的三维集成。
然而,在对高深宽比孔洞进行金属填充时,存在到达角度的问题;孔洞边缘处由于角度小,金属沉积速度快,导致孔洞提前封口,孔洞内存在空洞 问题。以对如图1中(a)图所示的结构进行金属填充为例,该结构包括衬底101'、位于衬底101'表面的介质层102',以及贯穿介质层102'并延伸至衬底101'内的孔洞20',且该孔洞20'具有高深宽比;如图1中(b)图所示,于孔洞20'内沉积金属材料层30'时,由于孔洞20'边缘处的角度小,金属材料层30'的沉积速度快,导致孔洞20'提前封口;如图1中(c)图所示,孔洞20'内存在空洞40'。
更具体的,以对如图2中(a)图所示的结构进行金属填充为例,该结构中的孔洞20'是基于介质层102'表面的掩膜层103'而形成的,如图2中(b)图所示的步骤为去除掩膜层103'的步骤;如图2中(c)图所示,于孔洞20'内沉积金属材料层30'时,由于孔洞20'边缘处的角度小,金属材料层30'的沉积速度快,导致孔洞20'提前封口,孔洞20'内存在空洞40';如图2中(d)图所示的步骤为去除掩膜层103'的步骤为去除位于介质层102'上的金属材料层30',以得到位于孔洞20'内的金属层40';所得结构中还可能具有籽晶层60'。
