Description

压电层设置导电通孔的石英谐振器及其制造方法、电子器件 技术领域
本发明的实施例涉及半导体领域，尤其涉及一种压电层设置导电通孔的石英谐振器及其制造方法，以及一种电子器件。
背景技术
高基频、小型化和低矮化是石英晶振片(下文中简称为晶片)发展的趋势。传统晶片制造方案多采用研磨切片的方式获得一定频率的散粒薄片，然后进行后续的镀电极与调频。然而，切片所采用的线切割技术对1mm×1mm及以下尺寸难以实现，基本无法覆盖1.2mm×1.0mm及以下尺寸的晶片制造，更无法满足1.0mm×0.8mm及以下尺寸规格晶片制造。晶片的基频主要受晶片谐振区域的厚度决定，晶片的基频由以下公式支配：
f0(MHz)＝1670(MHz·μm)/d(μm)       (1)
晶圆级制造可以实现单颗谐振器制造成本的大幅降低，以及谐振器之间的品控一致性；通常来说，晶圆尺寸越大，单颗谐振器的制造成本越低。然而，对于晶圆级制造方案，几百至数千颗晶片排列在单片晶圆上，对各个位置点石英厚度的精确控制挑战巨大，这也就直接导致了整片晶圆上晶片频率的准确性与一致性难以得到保证。因此，晶圆级晶片调频存在极大的挑战。目前已有技术采取的办法主要集中在采用具有超高精度膜厚监控系统的研磨技术，制备厚度均一度在几纳米之内的石英薄膜。这种频率控制与调节技术对材料和制造工 艺提出了极高的要求，而且晶圆面积越大，制造难度越高，阻碍了低成本、高效率的制造方案的产生。
现有的石英谐振器的顶电极的电极引出部和底电极的电极引出部中的一个经由压电层的边缘延伸到与另一个电极引出部同侧的位置，这种跨压电层布置电极引出部的方式，容易出现电极连接电阻不稳定(偏大甚至电连接断开)的问题。
此外，还希望降低石英谐振器的尺寸，尤其是降低整个谐振器的厚度，进一步实现石英谐振器的低矮化。

图1-图16为根据本发明的一个示例性实施例的石英谐振器的制作过程的截 面示意图。下面参照图1-图16示例性说明石英谐振器的制作过程，其包括步骤如下：
步骤1：制作掩膜20A。如图1所示，在石英晶圆(例如直径为1-8英寸，厚度为100μm至1mm)的一侧(例如正面)利用微/纳机电系统光刻的方式制作掩膜20A，处于正面的掩膜20A被图案化，以形成掩膜开孔22，具体的，用于制备通孔的区域，即通孔刻蚀区14，以及用于形成轮廓的轮廓刻蚀区18，被露出。在石英晶圆10的另一侧(例如次面)也设置掩膜20A，其覆盖整个另一侧。
这里，对于后续使用湿法刻蚀(例如图1-图16所示实施例的步骤2)，掩膜可以是金属掩膜，例如铬金(上面一层金、下面一层铬)，或者其他惰性金属；对于后续使用干法刻蚀(例如图1-图18所示实施例的步骤2)，掩膜可以是SU-8胶，或者其他适合干法刻蚀的光刻胶。掩膜20A的材料也可以适用于其他实施例，后面不再赘述。
需要指出的是，在图1-图16中，仅仅示出了晶圆上的单个石英谐振器对应的区域，如能够理解的，在晶圆10上存在多个图1-图16所示的区域。在其他的实施例中，也应做相似的理解，后面不再赘述。
步骤2：湿法刻蚀。如图2所示，以掩膜20A作为阻挡层，利用刻蚀液(例如温度高于20℃、浓度高于5％的HF刻蚀液、HF/NH4F混合刻蚀液)对上述石英晶圆10进行刻蚀，刻蚀深度为d1(d1等于石英谐振器设定频率对应的石英膜厚d0)。例如，在高温高浓度刻蚀液作用下，可以获得较高的刻蚀速率和较为陡峭的晶面坡度。
虽然没有示出，步骤2也可以用干法刻蚀代替，或者将湿法刻蚀与干法刻蚀结合。
步骤3：去除掩膜20A。如图3所示，上述石英晶圆10刻蚀之后，可以进行清洗、烘干，然后湿法刻蚀的方式去除掩膜20A。
步骤4：制作顶电极。如图4所示，利用金属溅射或者蒸镀的方式在上述石英晶圆10上制作谐振器顶电极30。顶电极30至少由一层金属构成，其中在石英晶圆10表面直接接触的金属可以为铬、钛钨、钼、金、银等。顶电极30覆盖了通孔刻蚀区14，以及可选的，覆盖了通孔刻蚀区与边框之间的部分区域。
步骤5：接合辅助基板。可以采用例如粘合或者键合的方式将图4中的结构的设置了顶电极的一侧与辅助基板80接合在一起。辅助基板80可以是石英基 板，也可以其他材料的基板，如硅、玻璃、蓝宝石等。如后面看到，步骤5中的接合为临时接合，临时接合形成了临时接合层90。
步骤6：石英晶圆减薄。如图6所示，利用研磨与抛光工艺对石英晶圆10进行减薄，减薄至剩余厚度比设计值(即上述膜厚d0)富余值在例如1μm之内。
步骤7：晶圆级膜厚测量。利用光学方法对研磨后的谐振区域石英厚度进行厚度测量。测量点必须选在石英薄膜另一面有顶电极的区域。如图7所示，利用光学测量透明薄膜厚度的方法对各个晶片的谐振区域石英薄膜厚度进行测量，并得到与设计值d0之间的差值，以为下一步逐个晶片进行膜厚调节提供依据。
步骤8：调节石英薄膜厚度。如图8所示，利用离子束刻蚀或者湿法刻蚀的方式对晶片谐振区域石英片进行二次刻蚀。重复图7和图8操作，对晶片进行多次厚度调节，最终获得精准的厚度。该流程可以参见图26。
步骤9：在图8所示结构的上表面设置掩膜20B，如图9所示，掩膜20B被图案化以在对应于通孔刻蚀区14和轮廓刻蚀区18的位置设置有掩膜开孔。
步骤10：例如，利用干法刻蚀的方式刻蚀石英晶圆10的处于通孔刻蚀区14和轮廓刻蚀区18处的部分，以贯穿通孔刻蚀区14和轮廓刻蚀区18，如图10所示。
步骤11：去除掩膜20B。步骤10之后，可以利用湿法刻蚀的方式去除掩膜20B，以得到如图11所示的结构。
步骤12：制作底电极40以及设置顶电极的电连接部32，电连接部32与底电极40设置在石英晶圆10的同一侧且彼此间隔开。
如图12所示，利用金属溅射或者蒸镀的方式在上述石英晶圆10上制作谐振器底电极40和电连接部32。底电极40至少由一层金属构成，其中在石英晶圆10表面直接接触的金属应为铬、钛钨、钼、金、银等。
步骤13：接合第二封装基板。如图13所示，将步骤12中的石英晶圆10与预先刻蚀了第二空腔62的石英晶圆或第二封装基板60对准，使得底电极40恰好位于第二空腔62之内。第二封装基板60设置有导电通孔64，其与顶电极30的电连接部32可以通过金属键合的方式电连接。
在本发明的实施例中，第二封装基板60是石英基板的情况下，其可以是厚度为20-300μm、与石英晶圆10的晶圆尺寸规格完全一致的石英晶圆。
步骤14：移除辅助基板80。可以通过移除临时接合层90而移除辅助基板 80，相应的，压电层边框16也被移除，最终形成如图14所示的结构。临时接合层90可以是UV胶粘，利用UV光照解胶去除；亦或者使用键合力较弱的临时键合技术，例如氧气等离子表面键合，在分裂的谐振器与基板完成金属键合之后可以直接移除临时辅助基板。
如图14所示，所形成的谐振器的谐振区域为悬臂结构，更具体的，谐振器的主体部分的非电极连接端为自由端。该结构可以产生如下技术效果：减少了能量横向泄露，提升谐振器性能，同时可以减小/隔绝外界震动、热量等因素对谐振器性能的影响。
步骤15：测频与调频。如图15所示，测量所得的石英谐振器的谐振频率f，在测得的谐振频率小于预定谐振频率f0的情况下，可以利用例如粒子束的方式改变顶电极30的质量，以提升石英谐振器的谐振频率。如能够理解的，在测得的谐振频率符合设定频率的情况下，可以不用执行调频步骤。该流程可以参见图27。
步骤16：接合第一封装基板。如图16所示，将步骤15中的第二封装基板60与预先刻蚀了第一空腔52的石英晶圆或第一封装基板50对准，使得顶电极30恰好位于第一空腔52之内。第二封装基板60与第一封装基板50可以利用金属扩散键合方式键合(如图16所示形成了金属键合层72)在一起，可以是金金、金锡、铜锡键合等方式。也可以采用其他的方式接合在一起，这里不做限定。
步骤16之后，可以执行分割操作，以将最终封装形成的石英谐振器形成为单独的器件。
上述的步骤9-步骤12也可以予以调整，均在本发明的保护范围之内。具体的：可以先在图8所示结构上制备底电极，可以利用金属溅射或者蒸镀的方式在上述石英晶圆10上制作底电极40；接着，刻蚀贯穿通孔刻蚀区14和轮廓刻蚀区18；然后，制备顶电极的电连接部32。
基于图1-图16，本发明提供了一种晶圆级晶片制造方案。上述工艺采用了湿法与干法结合方式对石英进行减薄，并且采用了晶圆级频率/厚度监测与调控方法，降低了对石英晶圆片厚度加工均一度的要求，降低了加工难度。本方案对不同频段的石英晶片的制造普遍适用，并且不受石英晶圆面积的限制，具有明显的优势。
图17-图25为根据本发明的另一个示例性实施例的石英谐振器的制作过程 的截面示意图。下面参照图17-图25示例性说明石英谐振器的制作过程，其包括步骤如下：
步骤1：制作掩膜。如图17所示，在石英晶圆(例如直径为1-8英寸，厚度为100μm至1mm)的两侧利用微/纳机电系统光刻的方式制作掩膜20A，两侧的掩膜20A被图案化，对应于谐振区域12的部分露出，其余部分均覆盖掩膜层20A。
步骤2：湿法裂片。在一个实施例中，以湿法刻蚀的方式形成多个散粒，在图18中示出了裂片通槽18’，在图18中，裂片通槽18’之间为带掩膜20A的初步散粒，初步散粒如图19所示。
步骤3：去除掩膜20A。如图20所示，利用刻蚀液逐层去除掩膜20A以形成散粒，可选的，对移除了掩膜20后的晶圆进行清洗。
步骤4：测试与调频。对散粒(如图20所示)逐个进行频率测试，然后根据与设计频率的差值对散粒进行湿法刻蚀，改变散粒的谐振区域的厚度以形成如图21所示的结构，以调节散粒频率。如此多次重复测试-刻蚀的步骤来调节散粒频率。
步骤5：设置电极以形成谐振器的散粒。如图22所示，在散粒上镀顶电极30和底电极40以形成石英谐振器。如图22所示，散粒10A设置在底电极40与顶电极30之间，其中：底电极处于散粒的下侧，顶电极处于散粒10A的上侧，底电极40的电极引出部42覆盖散粒10A的端面且延伸到散粒10A的上侧从而与顶电极30同处于散粒10A的上侧。在可选的实施例中，以溅射或蒸镀的方式形成底电极40和顶电极30以及电极引出部，更具体的，可以先在图21所示的散粒上以机械掩膜法设置掩膜(未示出)，该掩膜具有图案以在散粒上露出对应于底电极40和顶电极30以及电极引出部的区域，然后以溅射或蒸镀的方式形成底电极40和顶电极30以及电极引出部。
以上的步骤1-步骤5仅仅示出了形成谐振器的散粒结构的一个具体的实施例。谐振器的散粒结构不限于图22中所示的平坦结构，还可以是包括单面或双面反高台结构。
步骤6：将步骤5中形成的散粒布置到设置了第二空腔62和基板贯穿导电孔64的第二封装基板60，如图23所示。
步骤7：如图24所示，在第二空腔62内设置导电部66，所述导电部将所 述第一电极的电极引出部32与所述基板贯穿导电孔64电连接；导电部66可以是植球的形式。
步骤8：如图25所示，将设置有第一空腔52的第一封装基板50与第二封装基板60接合，以形成封装。
在本发明中，封装基板可以是石英基板，也可以其他材料的基板，如硅、玻璃、蓝宝石等。在后面的实施例中不再赘述。在本发明中，封装基板是石英基板的情况下，其可以是厚度为20-300μm、与石英晶圆10的晶圆尺寸规格完全一致的石英晶圆。
在本发明中，在为全石英封装的情况下，封装基板为透明材料。因此，调频也可以发生在封装完成之后，利用激光透过透明的石英封装盖直接调节频率，用来调整因为封装应力带来的频率变动。在后面的实施例中不再赘述。
在本发明的实施例中，采用第一封装基板与第二封装基板直接接合连接的方式，相较于第一封装基板、压电层、第二封装基板形成的三明治结构，由于在两个封装基板之间不存在压电层的厚度，有利于进一步实现谐振器的低矮化。
此外，在本发明的实施例中，最终形成的谐振器的压电层与压电层上下两侧的封装基板的连接减少(相比于封装基板与压电层接合的三明治结构)，从而可以减小因晶片机械性形变导致的应力向谐振器的传导，以提高谐振器的抗干扰性能。
在本发明的实施例中，石英谐振器的顶电极的电极引出部和底电极的电极引出部处于压电层的同一侧，这有利于：减小/避免了电极跨越压电层时可能存在的电极阻值不稳定的技术问题。
在本发明中，如图16所示，所形成的谐振器的所述压电层在非谐振区域设置有电连接通孔或通孔14，压电层一侧的电极的引出部经由所述电连接通孔延伸到压电层的另一侧从而与另一侧的电极处于压电层的同一侧。这相对于现有技术中两个电极的引出部分别设置在压电层的两侧具有如下技术效果：减小封装复杂度；此外，这相对于现有技术中一个电极的引出部经由压电层的边缘而到达压电层的另一侧从而与另一电极的引出部同面设置具有如下技术效果：减小/避免了电极跨越压电层时可能存在的电极阻值不稳定的问题。
在本发明中，如图16所示，压电层的谐振区域与封装结构在横向上机械结构隔离开，即不存在机械上的物理连接，这减小了能量的横向泄露，提升了谐 振器性能，同时降低外界震动、热量等因素对谐振器的干扰。
本发明提出一种基于微/纳机电系统(M/NEMS)光刻技术的石英晶片制造工艺，可以用于制作小尺寸、频率精准、低矮化的石英谐振器。
本发明中，采用了晶圆级频率/厚度监测与调控方法，降低了对石英晶圆片厚度加工均一度的要求，降低了加工难度。
本发明基于微纳机电系统(M/NEMS)的晶片制造方案充分利用了MEMS光刻技术和晶圆级工艺制造方式的优势，利用湿法刻蚀晶片轮廓的方法，摆脱了切割技术对晶片尺寸的限制，可以实现1210、1008及以下更小尺寸晶片的加工。此外，晶圆制造的晶片加工方案能够提高尺寸加工精度，提高晶片加工效率。
在本发明的实施例中，采用微/纳机电系统(M/NEMS)光刻技术与湿法刻蚀/干法刻蚀相结合，可以：使得散粒的尺寸小于1mm×1mm；和/或使得散粒的谐振区域的厚度小于40μm或者基于该散粒形成的谐振器的基频在40MHz以上。具体的，基于微/纳机电系统光刻技术，可以获得用于后续刻蚀的、便于形成小于1mm×1mm的散粒尺寸的精细图案，而基于湿法刻蚀/干法刻蚀，则可以获得小于1mm×1mm尺寸的散粒；基于湿法刻蚀/干法刻蚀，可以替代机械掩膜获得小于40μm的石英压电层厚度。
本发明提出了一种晶圆级晶片制造与频率控制制程，摆脱了石英晶片对超高精度研磨技术的需求，同时大大降低了调频的难度，使得调频完全不受晶圆面积扩大的制约。同时，该方案满足了从低频到高频(30-300MHz)、超高频率(300MHz-3GHz)晶片的小型化制造，对推动石英晶片领域的发展具有重要意义。
在本发明中，电连接通孔或者通孔14的至少一部分为锥形孔，或者在更具体的，电连接通孔的截面为自处于压电层非谐振区域的凸台的上下两侧向中间缩小的形状，这有利于电极分布均一性进而获得稳定的电阻值。
在本发明中，谐振区域是指在形成的石英谐振器中，顶电极、底电极、压电层以及空腔或空隙在压电层的厚度方向上的重合区域。在本发明中，晶圆的谐振区域对应于在晶圆中需要形成为谐振器的谐振区域的区域；压电层的谐振区域对应于在压电层中需要形成为谐振器的谐振区域的区域。在本发明中，非谐振区域是谐振区域之外的部分，对于压电层的非谐振区域，指的是在压电层的谐振区域在水平方向或横向方向外侧的区域。
需要指出的是，在本发明中，各个数值范围，除了明确指出不包含端点值之外，除了可以为端点值，还可以为各个数值范围的中值，这些均在本发明的保护范围之内。
如本领域技术人员能够理解的，根据本发明的石英谐振器可以用于形成石英晶振芯片或包括石英谐振器的电子器件。这里的电子器件，可以是例如振荡器等电子元件，也可以例如对讲机、手机等的通信设备，还可以是汽车等应用了石英谐振器的大型产品。
