Description

Ion beam etching method of metal thick film and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the fields of chip and integrated circuit manufacturing, electronic packaging, actuators and material science.
Background
The development of modern industrial technologies has increased the demand for high power chips and integrated circuits. In particular, 5G high frequency integrated circuits place higher demands on the power of chips and chip actuators. High power integrated circuits and chips require electrode materials that carry large currents and voltages. The metal thick film is an electrode material capable of bearing high power. In a chip and an integrated circuit, electrode materials have different patterns and need to be prepared by a process of plating first and then etching. However, existing etching techniques are only applicable to thin films. The invention tries to design a new method for etching the metal thick film based on the existing ion beam etching technology.
At present, the etching technology is an important micro-processing technology in the semiconductor technology, and comprises inductive coupling plasma etching, reactive ion etching and argon ion etching.
The principle of the inductively coupled plasma etching is that reaction gas is introduced and decomposed by using inductively coupled plasma glow discharge, the generated plasma with strong chemical activity moves to the surface of a sample under the acceleration action of an electric field, and the surface of the sample is subjected to chemical reaction to generateBecomes volatile gas and has certain physical etching effect. Mainly used for etching Si-based materials, si, siO 2 ,SiN x Low temperature deep Si etch, etc.
In reactive ion etching, a plasma generated by a gas discharge contains a large number of chemically active gas ions, which interact with the surface of the material to cause chemical reactions of surface atoms to form volatizable products. These volatile products are removed with the vacuum pumping system. The material is etched layer by layer to a specified depth as the "reaction-stripping-venting" cycles of the material surface. Besides the surface chemical reaction, the bombardment of the surface of the material by the ions with energy can also cause the sputtering of surface atoms, thereby generating certain etching action. Therefore, reactive ion etching includes a combination of both physical and chemical etching, mainly for Si, siO 2 ,SiN x Etching and removing the photoresist.
The argon ion etching is to ionize argon atoms into argon ions by utilizing a glow discharge principle, and the argon ions physically bombard the surface of a sample through the acceleration of an anode electric field so as to achieve the etching effect. Ar gas is filled into an ion source discharge chamber and ionized to form plasma, ions are led out in a beam shape by a grid and accelerated, an ion beam with certain energy enters a working chamber and is emitted to the surface of a solid to bombard atoms on the surface of the solid, so that material atoms are sputtered to achieve the aim of etching, and the method belongs to pure physical etching and is mainly used for etching complex systems of various metals, oxides and the like.
The inductively coupled plasma etching and the reactive ion etching both use chemical auxiliary materials, so that the etching rate is greatly improved, but the method is only suitable for Si-based materials and is not generally suitable for etching metal and alloy materials, meanwhile, the argon ion etching technology is a pure physical etching method, the resolution is high and can reach 10nm, the ion purity is high, the directionality is good, the energy distribution is uniform, any material can be etched, including Si-based materials, metal and alloy materials, but the etching speed is slow, the etching speed is about 10nm/min, and the etching speed is related to the etching material. The etching time of the alloy thick film with the thickness of more than 10 mu m is about more than 15 hours. The ion beam etching equipment can not work for the long time and needs to be cooled. The photoresist is denatured during the cooling process, and etching equipment cannot etch after being cooled. Moreover, since many alloy materials have complex compositions, no suitable etching gas or solution can be found, and ion beam etching technology must be adopted for etching. Therefore, an ion beam etching technology capable of accelerating the etching speed is urgently needed for etching the metal thick film material.
