但是,随着芯片的小尺寸化,芯片中导电图案的尺寸也随之减小,这给导电柱与导电图案之间的互连带来较大的挑战,不利于提高芯片的可靠性。因此,如何提高导电柱与导电图案之间互连的稳定性,成为本领域亟待解决的问题。
发明内容
本申请实施例提供一种芯片及其制备方法、电子设备,旨在提高芯片中导电柱与导电图案之间互连的稳定性,以提高芯片的可靠性。
为达到上述目的,本申请的实施例采用如下技术方案:
第一方面,提供了一种芯片,该芯片可以是裸芯片,也可以是封装后的芯片,其包括第一导电图案、堆叠层和导电柱,其中,第一导电图案例如包括中段工艺制备的至少一层导电图案。堆叠层包括中段工艺制备的多个介质层,例如包括依次层叠设置于第一导电图案上的至少一个第一介质层和至少一个第二介质层。导电柱例如可以是中段工艺制备的导电结构,该导电柱贯穿堆叠层,且一端与第一导电图案电连接。导电柱包括相连接的至少一个第一导电部和至少一个第二导电部,第一导电部贯穿第一介质层,第二导电部贯穿第二介质层。第一导电部与第二导电部相连的端面为第一导电部的第一端面,第二导电部与第一导电部相连的端面为第二导电部的第二端面,第二端面在参考面上的正投影位于第一端面在参考面上的正投影范围内,该参考面为第一导电图案的靠近堆叠层一侧表面所在的平面。
本申请的上述实施例所提供的芯片,通过导电柱的外形设计,使第二导电部的第二端面在参考面上的正投影位于,第一导电部的第一端面在参考面上的正投影范围内,即沿平行于参考面的方向,第一端面的边缘超出第二端面的边缘,使第一导电部的侧面相对于第二导电部的侧面凸出。
基于此,在制备芯片的过程中,研磨导电柱的远离第一导电图案的一端,即使研磨液沿第二导电部与第二介质层之间的缝隙渗入,第一端面的超出第二端面边缘的部分也可阻挡研磨液继续下渗,避免研磨液接触并腐蚀第一导电图案,从而保证导电柱与第一导电图案之间互连的稳定性,提高芯片的可靠性。
并且,在研磨导电柱的过程中,导电柱的远离第一导电图案的一端受到摩擦力会产生扭矩,导电柱会在堆叠层中移动,甚至从堆叠层中脱出。通过上述导电柱的外形 设计,第一端面的超出第二端面边缘的部分与第二介质层相抵,可限制导电柱的移动,从而可避免导电柱从堆叠层中脱出,避免芯片出现可靠性问题。

并且,在研磨的过程中,保护层可起到阻挡研磨液的作用,可防止研磨液从导电柱与接触孔的缝隙下渗,从而避免研磨液接触并腐蚀第一导电图案。
在一些实施例中,形成导电柱之后,还包括:形成第二导电图案,第二导电图案位于堆叠层上,导电柱远离第一导电图案的一端与第二导电图案电连接。

本申请的实施例对上述电子设备的具体形式不做特殊限制。以下实施例为了方便说明,均是以电子设备为手机为例进行举例说明。
图1为根据一些实施例的电子设备的结构图。
如图1所示,电子设备1主要包括盖板11、显示屏12、中框13以及后壳14。后壳14和显示屏12分别位于中框13的两侧,且中框13和显示屏12设置于后壳14内,盖板11设置在显示屏12远离中框13的一侧,显示屏12的显示面朝向盖板11。
其中,显示屏12可以是液晶显示屏(Liquid Crystal Display,LCD),在此情况下,液晶显示屏包括液晶显示面板和背光模组,液晶显示面板设置在盖板11和背光模组之间,背光模组用于为液晶显示面板提供光源。上述显示屏12也可以为有机发光二极管(Organic Light Emitting Diode,OLED)显示屏。由于OLED显示屏为自发光显示屏,因而无需设置背光模组。
上述中框13包括承载板131以及绕承载板131一周的边框132。电子设备1中还包括设置于承载板131上的电路板15、电池、摄像头等电子元器件。
如图1所示,上述电子设备1还可以包括设置于电路板15上的芯片10,该芯片10与电路板15电连接。
上述芯片10可包括处理器芯片、存储芯片、射频芯片、射频功率放大器芯片、电源管理芯片、音频处理器芯片、触摸屏控制芯片、图像传感器芯片、充电保护芯片等。
本申请的实施例所提供的芯片10,可以是裸芯片,也可以是经过封装的芯片,封装的芯片中可包括一个或多个裸芯片。本申请的以下实施例以芯片10为二维的裸芯片为例进行说明。
图2为相关技术中的芯片的结构图。
参见图2,芯片10'包括基板20',以及层叠设置于基板20'上的转接层L'和重新布线层27'。
其中,基板20'包括衬底G',以及设置于衬底G'上的电子元件T'。
示例性地,电子元件T'可包括晶体管、电容器、电感器等。图2中的电子元件T'以晶体管为例进行说明,晶体管包括栅极G、源极S和漏极D。
继续参见图2,转接层L'包括层叠设置于基板20'上的第一介质层21'和第二介质层23',贯穿第一介质层21'的导电图案22',以及贯穿第二介质层23'的导电柱24'。
其中,导电图案22'的一端与电子元件T'电连接,例如,晶体管的栅极G、源极S和漏极D分别与一个导电图案22'对应且电连接。
导电柱24'的一端与导电图案22'的另一端电连接。需要说明的是,转接层L'还包括围绕在导电柱24'侧面和底面的粘结层26',粘结层26'可用于粘附导电柱24',以提高导电柱24'与第二介质层23'之间的连接强度。
继续参见图2,重新布线层27'中包括多个导电层,多个导电层中位于最下方的导电层与导电柱24'电连接。位于最上方的导电层暴露于重新布线层27'的表面,可用于连接功能器件,例如,位于最上方的导电层可用作连接功能器件的焊盘。
上述芯片10'在工作过程中,电子元件T'中的电信号可依次经导电图案22'、导电柱24'传输至重新布线层27'的导电层,进而,该电信号可通过重新布线层27'中位于最上方的导电层传输至与其连接的功能器件。
在制备上述芯片10'的过程中,通常先在衬底G'上制备电子元件T'以形成基板20',然后在基板20'上形成第一介质层21',并形成贯穿第一介质层21'的导电图案22'。之后,在第一介质层21'远离基板20'的一侧形成第二介质层23',并形成贯穿第二介质层23'的导电柱24',最后在第二介质层23'远离基板20'的一侧形成重新布线层27'。
其中,在形成贯穿第二介质层23'的导电柱24'的过程中,需要先形成贯穿第二介质层23'的过孔,该过孔暴露导电图案22',然后在该过孔的侧壁和底部形成粘结层26',最后,可采用化学气相沉积(Chemical Vapor Deposition,CVD)工艺,在过孔中沉积导电材料以形成导电柱24'。
本申请的发明人经研究发现,参考图2,在过孔内沉积导电材料的过程中,导电材料在过孔的侧壁和底部同时沉积,且在侧壁与底部之间的连接处(拐角处)沉积的速率较快,进而,在过孔的顶部导电材料封闭的情况下,过孔中导电材料的内部会产生空隙25',从而使导电柱24'的内部具有空隙25',这会增大导电柱24'的电阻,导致电信号在导电柱24'上传输的过程中产生损失(例如,电信号的电压值下降),进而影响芯片10'的性能。
并且,由于粘结层26'具有一定的厚度,会占据过孔的空间,导致导电柱24'的直径减小、径向横截面的面积减小,这也会增大导电柱24'的电阻。
此外,导电图案22'与导电柱24'之间被粘结层26'隔开,通常情况下,粘结层26'的材料采用钛或氮化钛,但钛或氮化钛的导电性能较差,会增加导电图案22'和导电柱24'与粘结层26'的接触电阻,导致电信号从导电图案22'经粘结层26'传输至导电柱24'的过程中产生损失,影响芯片10'的性能。
为解决上述问题,本申请的一些实施例提供了一种芯片,图3为根据一些实施例的一种芯片的结构图。
参见图3,芯片10包括基板20,以及层叠设置于基板20上的转接层L和重新布线层27。

参见图3,转接层L包括层叠设置于基板20上的多个介质层,例如,多个介质层可包括第一介质层21、第二介质层231、第三介质层232和第四介质层233,以及贯穿第一介质层21的第一导电图案22,贯穿第二介质层231、第三介质层232和第四介质层233的导电柱24。
需要说明的是,第一导电图案22包括多个,第一介质层21可作为多个第一导电图案22之间的介电层。例如,第一介质层21的材料可包括等离子体增强氧化物(Plasma Enhanced Oxide,PEOX)。
并且,芯片10中电子元件T还可包括高阻结构(图3中未示出,例如,高阻结构可以是电阻器),第二介质层231可作为刻蚀形成高阻结构的停止层。例如,第二介质层231的材料可包括氮化硅。
第三介质层232可作为刻蚀第四介质层233的停止层。例如,第三介质层232的材料可与第二介质层231的材料相同,即第三介质层232的材料也包括氮化硅。又例如,第三介质层232的材料也可与第二介质层231的材料不相同,本申请的实施例对此不做限定。
此外,导电柱24包括多个,第二介质层231、第三介质层232和第四介质层233可共同作为多个导电柱24之间的介电层。其中,第四介质层233的材料例如可包括氧化硅。
参见图3,第一导电图案22的一端与电子元件T电连接,例如,晶体管的栅极G、源极S和漏极D分别与一个第一导电图案22对应且电连接。第一导电图案22的另一端与导电柱24电连接。
参见图3,导电柱24包括相连接的接触部24a和导电部24b,接触部24a与第一导电图案22接触且电连接,导电部24b贯穿第二介质层231、第三介质层232和第四介质层233。其中,导电部24b与接触部24a相连的端面在基板20上的正投影M1,位于接触部24a与导电部24b相连的端面在基板20上的正投影M2范围内,例如,导电柱24的外形与“铆钉”的外形类似,导电部24b作为“铆钉”的钉杆,接触部24a作为“铆钉”的钉帽。
继续参见图3,重新布线层27中包括多个导电层,例如,多个导电层包括依次远离基板20的第一导电层271、第二导电层272和第三导电层273。
其中,第一导电层271包括第二导电图案27a,导电柱24远离第一导电图案22的一端与第二导电图案27a电连接。第二导电层272包括转接图案27b,转接图案27b与第二导电图案27a电连接。第三导电层273包括焊盘27c,焊盘27c与转接图案27b电连接,且焊盘27c暴露于重新布线层27的表面,可用于焊接功能器件。
本申请的一些实施例还提供了上述芯片10的制备方法,图4A~图4J为根据一些实施例的制备芯片的各步骤图,该芯片10的制备方法包括如下S10~S19:
S10:参见图4A,形成基板20,在基板20上形成第一介质层21,形成贯穿第一介质层21的第一导电图案22。然后,在第一介质层21远离基板20的一侧依次形成第二介质层231、第三介质层232和第四介质层233。
示例性地,第一导电图案22的材料可包括钴。
S11:参见图4B,形成贯穿第四介质层233的第一预制孔H1,沿垂直于基板20 的方向Z,多个第一预制孔H1与多个第一导电图案22相对应,且每个第一预制孔H1位于对应的第一导电图案22的上方。
S12:参见图4B和图4C,经由第一预制孔H1,刻蚀第二介质层231和第三介质层232,并去除刻蚀副产物,以形成贯穿第二介质层231、第三介质层232和第四介质层233的接触孔H2,接触孔H2暴露第一导电图案22。
S13:参见图4D,采用湿法清洗工艺,利用清洗液L1深度去除刻蚀副产物。
S14:参见图4E,采用回刻工艺,刻蚀液L2经由接触孔H2与第一导电图案22接触,刻蚀第一导电图案22以形成凹槽220。并且,接触孔H2在基板20上的正投影,位于凹槽220在基板20上的正投影范围内,即接触孔H2的孔径要小于凹槽220的开口的直径。
S15:参见图4F,采用选择性沉积工艺,在凹槽220和接触孔H2内沉积导电材料,以形成初始导电柱240。
在一些示例中,在接触孔H2内沉积导电材料之前,需要对接触孔H2和第一导电图案22进行表面处理,以去除附着在接触孔H2的内壁的化学残余物和悬挂键,以及附着在第一导电图案22表面的化学残余物和悬挂键,以暴露接触孔H2内壁的非金属材料,以及第一导电图案22表面的金属材料。
进而,在接触孔H2内沉积导电材料的过程中,导电材料在金属材料表面的沉积速率,大于导电材料在非金属材料表面的沉积速率,即,导电材料在第一导电图案22表面的沉积速率,大于导电材料在接触孔H2内壁的沉积速率,实现了导电材料的“选择性沉积”。这样,在接触孔H2的顶部导电材料封闭之前,接触孔H2内已经填满导电材料,可避免接触孔H2中导电材料的内部产生空隙,从而避免初始导电柱240的内部产生空隙,有利于减小初始导电柱240的电阻。
需要说明的是,上述“化学残余物”可以是在形成接触孔H2的过程中残留下的化学物质;“悬挂键”例如可以是没有电子能配对的化学键。
对接触孔H2和第一导电图案22进行表面处理,“表面处理”的方式例如可包括加热处理、等离子体处理、通入还原性气体(例如氢气)处理、通入氧化性气体(例如氧气和一氧化二氮)处理、通入惰性气体处理等方式。
如图4F所示,初始导电柱240与接触孔H2的侧壁之间会存在缝隙,为消除该缝隙,可采用如下S16:
S16:参见图4G,采用离子注入工艺,向第二介质层231、第三介质层232和第四介质层233中注入离子,使第二介质层231、第三介质层232和第四介质层233膨胀,从而减小贯穿这三者的接触孔H2的孔径,缩小初始导电柱240与接触孔H2侧壁之间的缝隙。
示例性地,可向接触孔H2中注入锗离子。
S17:参见图4H,在第四介质层233远离基板20的一侧形成保护层28,保护层28的材料例如可包括氮化钛。
采用金属氧化物化学气相沉积(Metal Oxide Chemical Vapor Deposition,MOCVD)工艺,在保护层28远离基板20的一侧形成牺牲层29。
S18:参见图4H和图4I,采用化学机械研磨工艺(Chemical Mechanical Polishing, CMP),研磨牺牲层29、保护层28、初始导电柱240及第四介质层233远离基板20一侧的部分,形成导电柱24,并暴露导电柱24远离第一导电图案22的端部。
S19:参见图4J,在第四介质层233远离基板20的一侧形成重新布线层27。
本申请的上述实施例所提供的制备方法,通过刻蚀第一导电图案22以形成凹槽220,并在凹槽220和接触孔H2内沉积导电材料,以形成初始导电柱240。由于接触孔H2在基板20上的正投影,位于凹槽220在基板20上的正投影范围内,即接触孔H2的孔径要小于凹槽220的开口的直径,因此,初始导电柱240的外形与“铆钉”的外形类似。
进而,在研磨初始导电柱240的过程中,若研磨液沿初始导电柱240与接触孔H2侧壁的缝隙渗入,初始导电柱240的“钉帽”可用于阻挡研磨液,避免研磨液接触并腐蚀第一导电图案22。
本申请的一些实施例还提供了两种芯片,图5为根据一些实施例的一种芯片的结构图;图6为图5中的芯片在M处的局部放大图;图7为根据一些实施例的另一种芯片的结构图;图8为图7中的芯片在N处的局部放大图;图9为根据一些实施例的研磨导电柱的示意图。
参见图5,芯片10包括基板20,以及设置于基板20上的转接层L。
其中,基板20包括衬底G,以及设置于衬底G上的电子元件T。
示例性地,电子元件T可包括晶体管、电容器、电感器等。图5中的电子元件T以晶体管为例进行说明,晶体管包括栅极G、源极S和漏极D。
参见图5,转接层L包括第一导电图案22,第一导电图案22的一端与电子元件T电连接。
可以理解的是,在电子元件T为晶体管的情况下,晶体管的栅极G、源极S和漏极D分别与一个第一导电图案22对应且电连接,即第一导电图案22可作为晶体管的连接电极。
示例性地,第一导电图案22的材料可包括钴。
参见图5和图7,转接层L还包括堆叠层D,该堆叠层D包括依次层叠设置于第一导电图案22上的至少一个第一介质层21和至少一个第二介质层23。
示例性地,如图5所示,堆叠层D包括依次层叠设置于第一导电图案22上的一个第一介质层21和一个第二介质层23,即第二介质层23位于第一介质层21的远离第一导电图案22的一侧。
示例性地,如图7所示,堆叠层D包括多个第一介质层21和多个第二介质层23,多个第一介质层21和多个第二介质层23交替层叠设置。
参见图5,转接层L还包括导电柱24,该导电柱24贯穿堆叠层D,且一端与第一导电图案22电连接。
参见图6和图8,导电柱24包括相连接的至少一个第一导电部241和至少一个第二导电部242,其中,沿第一介质层21的厚度方向,第一导电部241贯穿第一介质层21;沿第二介质层23的厚度方向,第二导电部242贯穿第二介质层23。
示例性地,如图6所示,堆叠层D包括依次层叠设置于第一导电图案22上的一个第一介质层21和一个第二介质层23,在此情况下,导电柱24包括相连接的一个第 一导电部241和一个第二导电部242,其中,一个第一导电部241贯穿一个第一介质层21,一个第二导电部242贯穿一个第二介质层23。
示例性地,如图8所示,堆叠层D包括多个第一介质层21和多个第二介质层23,多个第一介质层21和多个第二介质层23交替层叠设置,在此情况下,导电柱24包括相连接的多个第一导电部241和多个第二导电部242,多个第一导电部241和多个第二导电部242交替相连。其中,每个第一导电部241贯穿一个第一介质层21,每个第二导电部242贯穿一个第二介质层23。
示例性地,导电柱24的第一导电部241和第二导电部242可以是一体成型的,并且,二者的材料均包括钨。
参见图6和图8,第一导电部241与第二导电部242相连的端面为第一导电部241的第一端面S1,第二导电部242与第一导电部241相连的端面为第二导电部242的第二端面S2。第二端面S2在参考面P上的正投影位于,第一端面S1在参考面P上的正投影范围内。
需要说明的是,“第一端面S1”为第一导电部241的端面,“第二端面S2”为第二导电部242的端面,第一导电部241的第一端面S1与第二导电部242的第二端面S2相连接,即第一端面S1与第二端面S2处于同一平面内。
并且,“参考面P”为第一导电图案22的靠近堆叠层D一侧表面所在的平面,可以理解为,参考面P可与基板20所在的平面平行。
本申请的上述实施例所提供的芯片10,不需要刻蚀第一导电图案22形成凹槽,而是通过导电柱24的外形设计,使第二导电部242的第二端面S2在参考面P上的正投影位于,第一导电部241的第一端面S1在参考面P上的正投影范围内,即沿平行于参考面P的方向,第一端面S1的边缘超出第二端面S2的边缘,使第一导电部241的侧面相对于第二导电部242的侧面凸出。
基于此,在制备芯片10的过程中,研磨导电柱24的远离第一导电图案22的一端,即使研磨液沿第二导电部242与第二介质层23之间的缝隙渗入,第一端面S1的超出第二端面S2边缘的部分也可阻挡研磨液继续下渗,避免研磨液接触并腐蚀第一导电图案22,从而保证导电柱24与第一导电图案22之间互连的稳定性,提高芯片10的可靠性。
并且,参考图6和图9,在研磨导电柱24的过程中,导电柱24的远离第一导电图案22的一端受到摩擦力会产生扭矩,导电柱24会在堆叠层D内移动,甚至从堆叠层D中脱出。通过上述导电柱24的外形设计,第一端面S1的超出第二端面S2边缘的部分与第二介质层23相抵,可限制导电柱24的移动,从而可避免导电柱24从堆叠层D中脱出,避免芯片10出现可靠性问题。
此外,导电柱24与第一导电图案22之间不需要设置粘结层,而是直接与第一导电图案22电连接,可降低导电柱24与第一导电图案22的接触电阻,减小电信号从第一导电图案22传输至导电柱24的过程中产生的损失,从而提高芯片10的性能。
经验证,相较于相关技术中的芯片10',本申请的上述实施例所提供的芯片10,电信号传输的损失降低至少50%,芯片10的性能随之提升5%左右。
在一些实施例中,如图5~图8所示,堆叠层D具有接触孔H3,该接触孔H3包 括相连通的至少一个第一子接触孔H31和至少一个第二子接触孔H32,第一子接触孔H31贯穿第一介质层21,第二子接触孔H32贯穿第二介质层23。
示例性地,如图5和图6所示,堆叠层D包括依次层叠设置于第一导电图案22上的一个第一介质层21和一个第二介质层23,在此情况下,接触孔H3包括相连通的一个第一子接触孔H31和一个第二子接触孔H32。
示例性地,如图7和图8所示,堆叠层D包括多个第一介质层21和多个第二介质层23,多个第一介质层21和多个第二介质层23交替层叠设置,在此情况下,接触孔H3包括相连通的多个第一子接触孔H31和多个第二子接触孔H32,第一子接触孔H31和第二子接触孔H32交替相连。
如图6和图8所示,第一导电部241位于第一子接触孔H31内,第二导电部242位于第二子接触孔H32内,其中,第一子接触孔H31与第二子接触孔H32相连的开口为第一子接触孔H31的第一开口K1,第二子接触孔H32与第一子接触孔H31相连的开口为第二子接触孔H32的第二开口K2,第二开口K2在参考面P上的正投影位于第一开口K1在参考面P上的正投影范围内。
本申请的上述实施例中,通过对堆叠层D中的接触孔H3的形状设计,使第二子接触孔H32的第二开口K2在参考面P上的正投影位于,第一子接触孔H31的第一开口K1在参考面P上的正投影范围内,即沿平行于参考面P的方向,第一开口K1的边缘超出第二开口K2的边缘,第一子接触孔H31的侧壁,相对于第二子接触孔H32的侧壁更远离导电柱24的轴线A,第一子接触孔H31的侧壁与第二子接触孔H32的侧壁不处于同一平面内。这样,在研磨导电柱24的过程中,即使研磨液沿第二子接触孔H32的侧壁渗入,由于第一子接触孔H31的侧壁与第二子接触孔H32的侧壁不处于同一平面内,研磨液不易从第二子接触孔H32的侧壁下渗至第一子接触孔H31的侧壁,避免研磨液接触并腐蚀第一导电图案22,从而提高芯片10的可靠性。
在一些实施例中,如图5和图7所示,堆叠层D具有接触孔H3,导电柱24位于接触孔H3内,且导电柱24的侧面的形状与接触孔H3的侧壁的形状相适配。
可以理解的是,在制备芯片10的过程中,在堆叠层D中形成接触孔H3,然后在接触孔H3内沉积导电材料,导电材料填充接触孔H3以形成导电柱24,因此,导电柱24的侧面的形状与接触孔H3的侧壁的形状相适配。
基于上述设置方式,有利于减小导电柱24的侧面与接触孔H3的侧壁之间的缝隙,在研磨导电柱24的过程中,可改善研磨液沿导电柱24与接触孔H3之间的缝隙下渗的问题。
在一些实施例中,如图6和图8所示,第一介质层21的材料与第二介质层23的材料不同。
可以理解的是,第一介质层21的材料与第二介质层23的材料不同,二者的刻蚀选择比不同。
在刻蚀堆叠层D形成接触孔H3的过程中,需要先逐层刻蚀第一介质层21和第二介质层23形成预制孔。然后,调整第一介质层21和第二介质层23的刻蚀选择比,满足第一介质层21的刻蚀速率远大于第二介质层23的刻蚀速率,例如,可通过调整二者的刻蚀选择比,刻蚀第一介质层21的同时不会刻蚀第二介质层23,从而使第一子 接触孔H31的侧壁,相对于第二子接触孔H32的侧壁更远离导电柱24的轴线A。
示例性地,第一介质层21和第二介质层23的材料为,氧化硅、氮化硅、氮氧化硅、碳氧氮化硅、氮掺杂碳化物、氧掺杂碳化物中的任意两种,保证第一介质层21和第二介质层23的材料不同即可。
在一些实施例中,如图6和图8所示,在同一刻蚀条件下,第一介质层21的刻蚀速率与第二介质层23的刻蚀速率不同。
可以理解的是,在同一刻蚀条件下,第一介质层21的刻蚀速率与第二介质层23的刻蚀速率不同,因此,二者的刻蚀选择比不同。
在刻蚀堆叠层D形成接触孔H3的过程中,需要先逐层刻蚀第一介质层21和第二介质层23形成预制孔。然后,调整第一介质层21和第二介质层23的刻蚀选择比,满足第一介质层21的刻蚀速率远大于第二介质层23的刻蚀速率,例如,可通过调整二者的刻蚀选择比,刻蚀第一介质层21的同时不会刻蚀第二介质层23,从而使第一子接触孔H31的侧壁,相对于第二子接触孔H32的侧壁更远离导电柱24的轴线A。
在一些实施例中,如图5和图6所示,堆叠层D包括一个第一介质层21和一个第二介质层23,导电柱24包括一个第一导电部241和一个第二导电部242。
可以理解的是,在刻蚀堆叠层D形成接触孔H3的过程中,先刻蚀第二介质层23形成过孔,刻蚀第一介质层21形成过孔,然后,沉积导电材料,导电材料填充第二介质层23的过孔,形成贯穿第二介质层23的第二导电部242;导电材料填充第一介质层21的过孔,形成贯穿第一介质层21的第一导电部241。因此,在堆叠层D包括一个第一介质层21和一个第二介质层23的情况下,导电柱24包括一个第一导电部241和一个第二导电部242。
本申请的上述实施例,通过设置导电柱24具有一个第一导电部241和一个第二导电部242,使第一导电部241的第一端面S1的边缘,超出第二导电部242的第二端面S2的边缘。在研磨导电柱24的过程中,即使研磨液沿第二导电部242与第二介质层23之间的缝隙渗入,第一端面S1的超出第二端面S2边缘的部分也可阻挡研磨液继续下渗,避免研磨液接触并腐蚀第一导电图案22,从而提高芯片10的可靠性。
在一些实施例中,如图7和图8所示,堆叠层D包括交替设置的多个第一介质层21和多个第二介质层23,导电柱24包括交替相连的多个第一导电部241和多个第二导电部242。
可以理解的是,在刻蚀堆叠层D形成接触孔H3的过程中,依次刻蚀第二介质层23、第一介质层21、第二介质层23、第一介质层21……,然后,沉积导电材料,导电材料填充每个第二介质层23的过孔,形成多个第二导电部242;导电材料填充每个第一介质层21的过孔,形成多个第一导电部241。
因此,在堆叠层D包括多个第一介质层21和多个第二介质层23的情况下,导电柱24包括多个第一导电部241和多个第二导电部242。并且,第一介质层21的数量与第一导电部241的数量相等,第二介质层23的数量与第二导电部242的数量相等。
本申请的上述实施例,通过设置导电柱24具有多个第一导电部241和多个第二导电部242,并且,相邻的第一导电部241和第二导电部242中,第一导电部241的第一端面S1的边缘,超出第二导电部242的第二端面S2的边缘。这样,在研磨导电柱 24的过程中,多个第一导电部241与其上方的第二导电部242相连的第一端面S1,均可阻挡研磨液继续下渗,可进一步降低研磨液下渗的风险,避免研磨液接触并腐蚀第一导电图案22,从而进一步提高芯片10的可靠性。
并且,参考图8和图9,在研磨导电柱24的过程中,导电柱24的远离第一导电图案22的一端受到摩擦力会产生扭矩,导电柱24会在接触孔H3内移动,甚至从堆叠层D中脱出。通过设置导电柱24包括交替相连的多个第一导电部241和多个第二导电部242,导电柱24的外形近似螺纹结构,多个第一导电部241的第一端面S1与多个第二介质层23相抵,可进一步限制导电柱24移动,从而可避免导电柱24从堆叠层D中脱出,避免芯片10出现可靠性问题。
此外,参考图9,即使导电柱24在接触孔H3内移动,使导电柱24的局部与接触孔H3的侧壁产生缝隙。通过设置导电柱24具有多个第一导电部241和多个第二导电部242,多个第一导电部241和多个第二导电部242可与多个第一介质层21和多个第二介质层23形成多处密封,例如,图9中示出的a、b、c密封处,保证沿导电柱24的周向均形成密封,避免研磨液接触并腐蚀第一导电图案22。
在一些实施例中,如图6和图8所示,第一导电部241的平均直径大于第二导电部242的平均直径。
可以理解的是,沿导电柱24的轴线A方向,第一导电部241和第二导电部242的直径均是变化的。“第一导电部241的平均直径”可以是,第一导电部241的最大直径与最小直径的和的一半,同理,“第二导电部242的平均直径”可以是,第二导电部242的最大直径与最小直径的和的一半。
通过设置第一导电部241的平均直径大于第二导电部242的平均直径,使第一导电部241与第二导电部242相连的一端,相对于第二导电部242与第一导电部241相连的一端凸出。这样,在研磨导电柱24的过程中,第一导电部241的凸出的端部可阻挡研磨液继续下渗,避免研磨液接触并腐蚀第一导电图案22。
在一些实施例中,如图6和图8所示,第一导电部241的形状为圆柱体或圆台,第二导电部242的形状为圆柱体或圆台。在另一些实施例中,第一导电部241和第二导电部242的形状还可以为棱柱,例如,三棱柱、四棱柱或五棱柱等,本申请的实施例不限于此。
在一些实施例中,如图5和图7所示,芯片10还包括重新布线层27,重新布线层27中包括多个导电层,例如,多个导电层包括依次设置于堆叠层D远离第一导电图案22一侧的第一导电层271、第二导电层272和第三导电层273。
其中,第一导电层271包括第二导电图案27a,导电柱24远离第一导电图案22的一端与第二导电图案27a电连接,从而通过导电柱24实现了第一导电图案22与第二导电图案27a之间的互连及信号传输。
第二导电层272包括转接图案27b,转接图案27b与第二导电图案27a电连接。
第三导电层273包括焊盘27c,焊盘27c与转接图案27b电连接,且焊盘27c暴露于重新布线层27的表面,可用于焊接功能器件。
本申请的一些实施例还提供了一种芯片,图10为根据一些实施例的芯片的结构图。
参见图10,堆叠层D还包括第三介质层30,该第三介质层30位于第一导电图案 22与最靠近第一导电图案22的第一介质层21之间。并且,导电柱24还包括第三导电部243,该第三导电部243贯穿第三介质层30,且与最靠近第一导电图案22的第一导电部241电连接。
其中,第一导电部241与第三导电部243相连的端面为第三端面S3,第三导电部243与第一导电部241相连的端面为第四端面S4,第四端面S4在参考面P上的正投影位于第三端面S3在参考面P上的正投影范围内。
可以理解的是,参考图10,沿第一导电图案22指向第二导电图案27a的方向Z,导电柱24的直径变化趋势为小、大、小、大……,本申请的实施例不限于此。
例如,参考图8,沿方向Z,导电柱24的直径变化趋势为大、小、大、小……。
示例性地,第三介质层30的材料与第二介质层23的材料相同,和/或,在同一刻蚀条件下,第三介质层30的刻蚀速率与第二介质层23的刻蚀速率相同。
可以理解的是,第三介质层30的材料与第二介质层23的材料相同,二者的刻蚀选择比不同,因此,在同一刻蚀条件下,第三介质层30的刻蚀速率与第二介质层23的刻蚀速率相同。
本申请的一些实施例提供了一种芯片的制备方法,图11A~图11E为根据一些实施例的制备一种芯片的各流程图;图12A~图12K为根据一些实施例的制备一种芯片的各步骤图。
参见图11A,芯片10的制备方法包括如下S10~S30:
S10:如图12A所示,形成第一导电图案22。
示例性地,提供一基板20,该基板20包括衬底G,以及设置于衬底G上的电子元件T。然后,在基板20上形成第一导电图案22,该第一导电图案22与电子元件T电连接。例如,电子元件T为晶体管,晶体管包括栅极G、源极S和漏极D,晶体管的栅极G、源极S和漏极D分别与一个第一导电图案22对应且电连接。

S301:如图12C~图12F所示,形成贯穿堆叠层D的接触孔H3。
示例性地,参见图11C,在堆叠层D包括一个第一介质层21和一个第二介质层23的情况下,上述S301还包括如下S3011~S3014:
S3011:如图12C所示,形成掩膜层R,该掩膜层R位于堆叠层D上。
可以理解的是,掩膜层R具有开口,可暴露堆叠层D,以便于后续通过掩膜层R刻蚀堆叠层D。例如,掩膜层R可以为光刻胶层,可采用曝光显影工艺,在掩膜层R上形成开口。
S3012:如图12D所示,基于掩膜层R,刻蚀第二介质层23,形成贯穿第二介质层23的第二预制孔H4,该第二预制孔H4暴露第一介质层21。
S3013:如图12D和图12E所示,去除掩膜层R。
例如,可采用剥离液,将掩膜层R从堆叠层D上去除。
S3014:如图12E和图12F所示,经由第二预制孔H4,刻蚀第一介质层21,以暴露第一导电图案22。
需要说明的是,在去除掩膜层R的过程中,所使用的剥离液为酸性液体,其对金属具有腐蚀作用,因此,在刻蚀第一介质层21之前,便采用剥离液将掩膜层R去除,然后再刻蚀第一介质层21以暴露第一导电图案22,可避免剥离液接触并腐蚀第一导电图案22。
并且,经由第二预制孔H4刻蚀第一介质层21之后,形成贯穿堆叠层D的接触孔H3,需要清洗接触孔H3,例如,采用湿法清洗工艺,利用清洗液去除刻蚀副产物,以保证第一导电图案22的暴露。并且,需要对接触孔H3和第一导电图案22进行表面处理,以去除附着在接触孔H3的内壁的化学残余物和悬挂键,以及附着在第一导电图案22表面的化学残余物和悬挂键。
S302:如图12G~图12J所示,在接触孔H3内填充导电材料,形成导电柱24。
示例性地,如图12G所示,可采用选择性生长工艺,在接触孔H3内填充导电材料形成初始导电柱240,可避免接触孔H3中导电材料的内部产生空隙,从而避免初始导电柱240的内部产生空隙。
示例性地,参见图11D,在接触孔H3内填充导电材料之后,芯片10的制备方法还包括如下S303~S305:
S303:如图12H所示,形成保护层28,该保护层28覆盖堆叠层D。例如,保护层28的材料可包括氮化钛。
S304:如图12I所示,形成牺牲层29,该牺牲层29覆盖保护层28。例如,可采用金属氧化物化学气相沉积工艺,形成牺牲层29。牺牲层29的材料可与初始导电柱240的材料相同,例如,二者的材料均包括钨,从而在后续研磨的过程中,有利于提高研磨的均一性,提高表面研磨的质量。
S305:如图12I和图12J所示,研磨牺牲层29、保护层28及堆叠层D远离第一导电图案22一侧的部分,以暴露导电柱24远离第一导电图案22的端部。例如,可采用化学机械研磨工艺,研磨牺牲层29、保护层28及堆叠层D远离第一导电图案22一侧的部分。
可以理解的是,在研磨的过程中,会去除牺牲层29、保护层28以及堆叠层D远 离第一导电图案22一侧的部分,还会去除初始导电柱240远离第一导电图案22一端的部分,最后,会暴露导电柱24远离第一导电图案22的端部,并且,研磨可使堆叠层D远离第一导电图案22一侧的表面平坦化,以便于后续在堆叠层D的表面上制备第二导电图案27a。
并且,在研磨的过程中,保护层28可起到阻挡研磨液的作用,可防止研磨液从导电柱24与接触孔H3的缝隙下渗,从而避免研磨液接触并腐蚀第一导电图案22。
在一些示例中,参见图11E,在形成导电柱24之后,芯片10的制备方法还包括如下S40:
S40:如图12K所示,形成第二导电图案27a,第二导电图案27a位于堆叠层D上,导电柱24远离第一导电图案22的一端与第二导电图案27a电连接。通过导电柱24实现了第一导电图案22与第二导电图案27a之间的互连及信号传输。

基于此,在后续研磨导电柱24的过程中,即使研磨液沿第二导电部242与第二介质层23之间的缝隙渗入,第一端面S1的超出第二端面S2边缘的部分也可阻挡研磨液继续下渗,避免研磨液接触并腐蚀第一导电图案22,从而保证导电柱24与第一导电图案22之间互连的稳定性,提高芯片10的可靠性。
并且,在研磨导电柱24的过程中,导电柱24的远离第一导电图案22的一端受到摩擦力会产生扭矩,导电柱24会在堆叠层D中移动,甚至从堆叠层D中脱出。通过上述导电柱24的制备,第一端面S1的超出第二端面S2边缘的部分与第二介质层23相抵,可限制导电柱24的移动,从而可避免导电柱24从堆叠层D中脱出,避免芯片10出现可靠性问题。
