Description

製作包含有具導電貫孔間置結構之半導體構造之方法及其相關構造 與元件 Method of fabricating a semiconductor structure including a conductive via-interposed structure and related structures And components

本申請案之主題標的與以下申請案之主題標的相關:2011年3月31日提出之美國專利申請案13/077,365號,其名稱為「形成包含由一共同底材承載之兩個或更多已處理半導體結構之鍵結半導體結構之方法及應用此等方法所形成之半導體結構 The subject matter of the present application is related to the subject matter of the following application: U.S. Patent Application Serial No. 13/077,365, filed on March 31, 2011, entitled Method for processing bonded semiconductor structures of semiconductor structures and semiconductor structures formed by using the same

本發明與製作半導體元件期間形成及利用居間結構之方法,及應用此等方法所製作之結構及元件有關。 The present invention relates to methods of forming and utilizing intervening structures during fabrication of semiconductor devices, and structures and components fabricated using such methods.

製作含有積體電路之半導體元件,像是電子信號處理器、記憶元件及感光元件(例如發光二極體(LED)、雷射二極體、光電池、光檢測器等等)時,經常需要在兩個元件間(例如兩個積體電路元件間)、一元件與一結構間,或兩個結構間使用本發明所屬技術領域所稱之「居間結構(interposer)」。居間結構被設置成介於兩個元件及/或結構間,可用於在該兩個元件及/或結構間提供結構上及電性上之互連。 When manufacturing semiconductor components including integrated circuits, such as electronic signal processors, memory devices, and photosensitive devices (such as light-emitting diodes (LEDs), laser diodes, photovoltaic cells, photodetectors, etc.), it is often necessary to An "interposer" as referred to in the technical field of the present invention is used between two elements (for example, between two integrated circuit elements), between one element and one structure, or between two structures. The intervening structure is disposed between two elements and/or structures and can be used to provide structural and electrical interconnections between the two elements and/or structures.

在某些情況下,居間結構可用於重新分佈一電性連接之圖案。舉例而言,一積體電路元件可具有排成第一圖案之電性接觸部件陣列,而該積體電路元件所要耦合之另一元件或結構可具有排成不同之第二圖案之電性接觸部件陣列。這樣,該積體電路元件便無法只藉由緊靠及鍵結至該另一元件或結構,而在該積體電路元件之電性接觸部件與該另一元件或結構之電性接觸部件間建立電性連接。 In some cases, the intervening structure can be used to redistribute the pattern of an electrical connection. For example, an integrated circuit component can have an array of electrical contact features arranged in a first pattern, and another component or structure to which the integrated circuit component is to be coupled can have electrical contacts arranged in a second, different pattern. An array of parts. Thus, the integrated circuit component cannot be held between the electrical contact member of the integrated circuit component and the electrical contact component of the other component or structure by merely abutting and bonding to the other component or structure. Establish an electrical connection.

為利於電性互連,可製作一居間結構,該居間結構在其第一面包含排成第一圖案之第一組電性接觸部件,並在相反之第二面包含排成另一圖案之第二組電性接觸部件,其中第一圖案為該積體電路元件之電性接觸部件圖案之鏡像,另一圖案為該另一元件或結構之電性接觸部件圖案之鏡像。該居間結構可包含以下所列之一種或多種:導電通孔,其在垂直於該居間結構之主要平面之縱向上穿過該居間結構之至少一部分;導電跡線,其在平行於該居間結構之主要平面之橫向上橫越該居間結構;及導電接觸墊,其定義出欲與該積體電路元件及該另一元件或結構建立電性接觸之位置。該些導電通孔及跡線可用於將該居間結構之第一面上之接觸墊之圖案,在該居間結構之相反第二面「重分佈」為一不同之接觸墊圖案。在此組構下,該居間結構之第一面上之接觸墊可在結構上及電性上耦合至該積體電路元件之電性接觸部件,該居間結構之相反第二面上之接觸墊則可在結構上及電性上耦合至該另一元件或結構之電性接觸部件,從而透過該居間結構在該積體電路元件與該另一元件或結構間提供一電性互連。 To facilitate electrical interconnection, an intervening structure can be fabricated that includes a first set of electrical contact features arranged in a first pattern on a first side thereof and a second pattern on a second opposite surface. A second set of electrical contact members, wherein the first pattern is a mirror image of the electrical contact member pattern of the integrated circuit component and the other pattern is a mirror image of the electrical contact member pattern of the other component or structure. The intervening structure can comprise one or more of the following: a conductive via that passes through at least a portion of the intervening structure in a longitudinal direction perpendicular to a major plane of the intervening structure; a conductive trace that is parallel to the intervening structure The primary plane traverses the intervening structure laterally; and the electrically conductive contact pad defines a location to be in electrical contact with the integrated circuit component and the other component or structure. The conductive vias and traces can be used to "redistribute" the pattern of contact pads on the first side of the intervening structure to a different contact pad pattern on the opposite second side of the intervening structure. In this configuration, the contact pads on the first side of the intervening structure are structurally and electrically coupled to the electrical contact members of the integrated circuit component, and the contact pads on the opposite second side of the intervening structure The electrical contact member can be structurally and electrically coupled to the other component or structure to provide an electrical interconnection between the integrated circuit component and the other component or structure through the intervening structure.

為使居間結構能夠用一般的半導體製造加工設備處理及操作,居間結構通常相對厚。舉例而言,居間結構可具有200微米(200 μm)或更厚之平均層厚度。 In order for the intervening structure to be handled and handled by conventional semiconductor fabrication processing equipment, the intervening structure is typically relatively thick. For example, the intervening structure can have an average layer thickness of 200 microns (200 μm) or more.

半導體元件之部件持續縮減至更小尺寸。由於穿透居間結構所形成之導電貫孔之平均截面尺寸(例如平均直徑)減少,該些導電貫孔之高寬比(aspect ratio)因而增加。一導電貫孔之高寬比被定義為:該導電貫孔之長度(垂直於該居間結構之主要平面之縱向尺寸)除以該導電貫孔之平均截面尺寸。舉 例而言,若一導電貫孔具有之長度為200微米(200 μm),平均截面尺寸為40微米(40 μm),則該導電貫孔所具有之高寬比為5(亦即200/40=5)。 The components of the semiconductor component continue to shrink to smaller sizes. As the average cross-sectional dimension (e.g., average diameter) of the conductive vias formed by the interpenetrating structures is reduced, the aspect ratio of the conductive vias is thereby increased. The aspect ratio of a conductive via is defined as the length of the conductive via (perpendicular to the longitudinal dimension of the major plane of the intervening structure) divided by the average cross-sectional dimension of the conductive via. Lift For example, if a conductive via has a length of 200 micrometers (200 μm) and an average cross-sectional dimension of 40 micrometers (40 μm), the conductive via has an aspect ratio of 5 (ie, 200/40). =5).

形成具有高高寬比之導電貫孔並不容易。要在居間結構中形成導電貫孔,首先需形成穿透居間結構之洞孔,接著需利用一種或多種電鍍製程(例如在一無電電鍍製程後接著一電解電鍍製程)以導電金屬填充該些洞孔。由於所沉積之金屬必須有良好之階梯覆蓋能力且無空隙,因此具有高高寬比之洞孔在電鍍製程中不易以金屬填充。舉例而言,在接近居間結構中間之洞孔區域完全填滿前,靠近居間結構之相反主要表面之洞孔區域便可能已被金屬堵塞,因而使金屬無法進一步在洞孔內沉積,造成所產生之導電貫孔內有空隙。此等空隙可能使得導電貫孔無法操作。再者,較大的導電貫孔需要使用較多金屬,這會增加成本及金屬沉積製程之時間。較大導電貫孔還會在居間結構上佔據較多面積,使得在該居間結構之給定面積內可形成之導電貫孔數目受到限制,進而局限諸如居間結構等半導體元件之整體操作頻寬。 It is not easy to form a conductive via having a high aspect ratio. To form a conductive via in the intervening structure, first a hole is formed through the intervening structure, and then the holes are filled with a conductive metal using one or more electroplating processes (eg, an electroless plating process followed by an electrolytic plating process). hole. Since the deposited metal must have good step coverage and no voids, the holes having a high aspect ratio are not easily filled with metal during the electroplating process. For example, before the hole area near the middle of the intermediate structure is completely filled, the hole area near the opposite main surface of the intermediate structure may have been blocked by the metal, so that the metal cannot be further deposited in the hole, resulting in the generation There is a gap in the conductive through hole. These voids may make the conductive vias inoperable. Furthermore, larger conductive vias require more metal to be used, which increases the cost and time of the metal deposition process. Larger conductive vias also occupy more area on the intervening structure, such that the number of conductive vias that can be formed within a given area of the intervening structure is limited, thereby limiting the overall operating bandwidth of semiconductor components such as intervening structures.

本概要之提供旨在以簡要形式介紹一系列概念。該些概念將在本發明示範性實施例中進一步詳述。本概要之用意並非指出所主張專利標的之主要特點或基本特點,亦非用於限制所主張專利標的之範圍。 The purpose of this summary is to present a series of concepts in a concise form. These concepts are further detailed in the exemplary embodiments of the invention. This summary is not intended to identify key features or essential features of the claimed subject matter, and is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed subject matter.

在一些實施例中,本發明包括製作含有居間結構之半導體元件之方法。根據此等方法,形成導電貫孔使之穿透一可回收底材上之一材料層。在就該材料層而言相反於該可回收底材之一面,將一載體底材鍵結於該材料層上方,並使該可回收底材從該材料層分離以回收該可回收底材。在就該材料層 而言相反於該載體底材之一面,將多個電接點形成於該材料層上方,該些電接點在電性上與該些導電貫孔有連通。 In some embodiments, the invention includes a method of fabricating a semiconductor component having an intervening structure. According to such methods, a conductive via is formed to penetrate a layer of material on a recyclable substrate. In the case of the material layer opposite to one side of the recyclable substrate, a carrier substrate is bonded over the layer of material and the recyclable substrate is separated from the layer of material to recover the recyclable substrate. In the layer of material In contrast to one side of the carrier substrate, a plurality of electrical contacts are formed over the layer of material, the electrical contacts being electrically connected to the conductive vias.

製作含有居間結構之半導體元件之其他方法包括,使一可分離界面形成於一半導體層與一可回收底材之間。該可分離界面包含該半導體層與該可回收底材間受到控制之一機械強度。然後,形成導電貫孔使之穿透該可回收底材上之半導體層。在就該半導體層而言相反於該可回收底材之一面,將一載體底材鍵結於該半導體層上方,並使該可回收底材從該半導體層分離以回收該可回收底材。之後,可在就該半導體層而言相反於該載體底材之一面,將電性上與該些導電貫孔有連通之電接點形成於該半導體層上方。 Other methods of fabricating a semiconductor component having an intervening structure include forming a separable interface between a semiconductor layer and a recyclable substrate. The detachable interface comprises a mechanical strength that is controlled between the semiconductor layer and the recyclable substrate. A conductive via is then formed to penetrate the semiconductor layer on the recyclable substrate. A carrier substrate is bonded over the semiconductor layer opposite the one of the recyclable substrate for the semiconductor layer, and the recyclable substrate is separated from the semiconductor layer to recover the recyclable substrate. Thereafter, an electrical contact electrically connected to the conductive vias may be formed over the semiconductor layer opposite to one side of the carrier substrate for the semiconductor layer.

本發明之進一步實施例包含應用本說明書所述方法所形成之中間半導體結構和元件及完全製作之半導體結構和元件。 Further embodiments of the invention include intermediate semiconductor structures and elements formed using the methods described herein, as well as fully fabricated semiconductor structures and elements.

A carrier substrate can be bonded over the semiconductor layer in relation to the semiconductor layer opposite one side of the recyclable substrate.

The title of the present specification is not to be construed as limiting the scope of the embodiments of the present invention.

製作包含本說明書所述居間結構之半導體元件之方法可提供相對薄之一居間結構,其包含具有相對低之高寬比之導電貫孔。如下文所進一步討論,該些方法大致包含形成穿透一底材上之一材料層之多個導電貫孔,該底材可為一可回收底材。在就該材料層而言相反於該可回收底材之一面,將一載體底材鍵結於該材料層上方,之後,使該可回收底材從該材料層分離以回收該可回收底材。接著,在就該材料層而言相反於該載體底材之一面,將電性上與該些導電貫孔有連通之多個電接點形成於該材料層上方。 A method of fabricating a semiconductor component comprising the intervening structure described herein can provide a relatively thin intervening structure comprising a conductive via having a relatively low aspect ratio. As discussed further below, the methods generally include forming a plurality of conductive vias that penetrate a layer of material on a substrate, which may be a recyclable substrate. In the case of the material layer opposite to one side of the recyclable substrate, a carrier substrate is bonded over the layer of material, after which the recyclable substrate is separated from the layer of material to recover the recyclable substrate . Next, a plurality of electrical contacts electrically connected to the conductive vias are formed over the material layer opposite to one side of the carrier substrate for the material layer.

圖1呈現一結構100,其包含一可回收底材102。該可回收底材102上面設置一材料層104。在一些實施例中,一可分離界面106可形成或以其他方式提供於該材料層104與該可回收底材102之間。該可分離界面106可在該材料層104與該可回收底材102間提供機械強度受到控制之一鍵結,且在下文所討論之進一步處理後,該可分離界面106可用於將該可回收底材102從該材料層104分離。 FIG. 1 presents a structure 100 that includes a recyclable substrate 102. A layer of material 104 is disposed over the recyclable substrate 102. In some embodiments, a separable interface 106 can be formed or otherwise provided between the layer of material 104 and the recyclable substrate 102. The detachable interface 106 can provide a mechanical strength bond between the material layer 104 and the recyclable substrate 102, and the detachable interface 106 can be used to recycle the material after being further processed as discussed below. Substrate 102 is separated from the layer of material 104.

在一些實施例中,該材料層104可包含一層半導體材料。換言之,該材料層104可包含一半導體層。作為非限制性質之範例,該材料層104可包含矽、鍺、碳化矽、鑽石及一種III-V族半導體材料當中至少一者。在一些實施例中,該材料層104實質上可由矽構成,且構成該材料層之矽可為多晶或單晶。 In some embodiments, the material layer 104 can comprise a layer of semiconductor material. In other words, the material layer 104 can comprise a semiconductor layer. As an example of non-limiting properties, the material layer 104 can comprise at least one of tantalum, niobium, tantalum carbide, diamond, and a III-V semiconductor material. In some embodiments, the material layer 104 can be substantially composed of tantalum, and the layer constituting the material layer can be polycrystalline or single crystal.

該可回收底材102可包含一種半導體材料(例如矽(採用生產等級(prime grade)或機械等級(mechanical grade)以達到較低之擁有成本)、鍺、一種III-V族半導體材料等等)或一種陶瓷材料,譬如一種氧化物(例如氧化鋁、氧化矽、氧化鋯等等)、一種氮化物(例如氮化矽)或一種碳化物(例如碳化矽)。 The recyclable substrate 102 can comprise a semiconductor material (eg, ruthenium (using prime grade or mechanical grade to achieve lower cost of ownership), niobium, a III-V semiconductor material, etc.) Or a ceramic material such as an oxide (such as alumina, yttria, zirconia, etc.), a nitride (such as tantalum nitride) or a carbide (such as tantalum carbide).

介於該可回收底材102與該材料層104間之可分離界面106可以諸如下列任何專利公開案所揭露之方式形成:2004年11月11日以Aspar等人之名公開之美國專利申請公開案2004/0222500號、2007年5月31日以Martinez等人之名公開之美國專利申請公開案2007/0122926號,以及2010年2月11日以Faure等人之名公開之國際專利申請公開案WO 2010/015878 A2號。 The detachable interface 106 between the recyclable substrate 102 and the material layer 104 can be formed, for example, in the manner disclosed in any of the following patent publications: U.S. Patent Application Publication No. US Patent Application Publication No. 2007/0122926, published on May 31, 2007, in the name of Martinez et al., and International Patent Application Publication No. 2007/0122926, filed on Feb. 11, 2010, in the name of Faure et al. WO 2010/015878 A2.

在一些實施例中,該可分離界面106可包含該材料層104與該可回收底材102間之直接分子鍵結。在其他實施例中,如圖1所示者,該可分離界面106可包含設置在該材料層104與該可回收底材102間之一種中間材料107。此種中間材料107可包含一種半導體材料、一種介電材料或一種陶瓷材料(例如上文所述之任何一種)當中的一者或多者。在其他實施例中,該中間材料107可包含一種金屬。在進一步之實施例中,該中間材料107可包括含有兩種或更多種此等材料之多層結構。 In some embodiments, the detachable interface 106 can comprise a direct molecular bond between the material layer 104 and the recyclable substrate 102. In other embodiments, as shown in FIG. 1, the detachable interface 106 can include an intermediate material 107 disposed between the layer of material 104 and the recyclable substrate 102. Such intermediate material 107 can comprise one or more of a semiconductor material, a dielectric material, or a ceramic material, such as any of those described above. In other embodiments, the intermediate material 107 can comprise a metal. In further embodiments, the intermediate material 107 can comprise a multilayer structure comprising two or more such materials.

作為非限制性質之一範例,在該材料層104鍵結於該可回收底材102上方前,該可分離界面106之機械強度可透過控制該材料層104及該可回收底材102之相對面之粗度及親水性當中至少一者而加以操縱,如美國專利申請公開案2004/0222500號所述。舉例而言,若相對面當中一者或兩者包含SiO2,則該SiO2表面可用氫氟酸加以蝕刻,以控制其表面粗度。其他化學處理亦可 視所要蝕刻材料之性質而採用。舉例而言,磷酸(H3PO4)可用於蝕刻及粗化氮化矽(Si3N4),而氫氧化銨(NH4OH)、過氧化氫(H2O2)與水(H2O)之溶液則可用於蝕刻及粗化矽。在其他技術中,受到選擇性控制之熱處理可用於控制該材料層104與該可回收底材102間之分子鍵結之機械強度。 As an example of a non-limiting property, the mechanical strength of the separable interface 106 can be controlled by controlling the material layer 104 and the opposite side of the recyclable substrate 102 before the material layer 104 is bonded over the recyclable substrate 102. At least one of the thickness and the hydrophilicity is manipulated as described in U.S. Patent Application Publication No. 2004/0222500. For example, if one or both of the opposing faces comprise SiO 2 , the surface of the SiO 2 may be etched with hydrofluoric acid to control its surface roughness. Other chemical treatments may also be employed depending on the nature of the material to be etched. For example, phosphoric acid (H 3 PO 4 ) can be used to etch and roughen tantalum nitride (Si 3 N 4 ), while ammonium hydroxide (NH 4 OH), hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) and water (H) A solution of 2 O) can be used to etch and roughen the crucible. In other techniques, a selectively controlled heat treatment can be used to control the mechanical strength of the molecular bonds between the material layer 104 and the recyclable substrate 102.

因此,在一些實施例中,空隙108可存在於該可分離界面106。該些空隙108可因相鄰鍵結表面間之初始表面粗度所致,且該些空隙108可隨機分佈於該可分離界面106。在其他實施例中,該些空隙108可在鍵結前便形成於該些相鄰鍵結表面其中一者或兩者,且該些空隙108可分佈於該可分離界面106中預定及選定之位置。該些空隙108之數目及尺寸可用於選擇性地控制該材料層104與該可回收底材102間之鍵結之機械強度。 Thus, in some embodiments, voids 108 may be present at the detachable interface 106. The voids 108 may be due to an initial surface roughness between adjacent bond surfaces, and the voids 108 may be randomly distributed at the separable interface 106. In other embodiments, the voids 108 may be formed on one or both of the adjacent bond surfaces before bonding, and the voids 108 may be distributed in the detachable interface 106 to be predetermined and selected. position.

For example, the recyclable substrate 102 exhibits a coefficient of thermal expansion that is within about 10% of the coefficient of thermal expansion exhibited by the layer of material 104, within about 5% of the coefficient of thermal expansion exhibited by the layer of material 104, or even Within about 2.5% of the coefficient of thermal expansion exhibited by the layer of material 104. When the temperature of the structure 100 changes during subsequent processes, the recyclable substrate 102 and the heat of the material layer 104 The high degree of expansion of the coefficient of expansion reduces or minimizes thermal stresses near the detachable interface 106 and prevents the material layer 104 from being accidentally prematurely separated from the detachable interface 106.

The relatively thick layer of material can be bonded over the recyclable substrate 102. The relatively thick layer of material can then be cleaved along the weakened ion implantation plane therein, leaving a layer of material 104 having the desired average layer thickness T bonded over the recyclable substrate 102. Alternatively, additional semiconductor material (which may have a polycrystalline or amorphous microstructure) may be deposited over the layer of shifting material 104 after the SMART-CUT® process to provide the desired average layer thickness T.

Above, the material layer is then thinned to the average layer thickness T using one or more of a grinding process, a polishing process, and an etching process (eg, using a chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) process). Such bonding and thinning processes are suitable for providing a material layer 104 having an average layer thickness T of about 150 microns (150 μm) or more, while the SMART-CUT® process is suitable for providing an average layer thickness T of about 1.5 microns ( A layer of material 104 of 1.5 μm or more.

In some embodiments, the conductive vias 110 may comprise a plurality of metal layers, and wherein two or more layers may have different compositions. For example, a first electroless plating process can be used to deposit a relatively thin one metal seed layer on the surface of the material layer 104 within the holes. These processes provide a relatively dense layer of metal that has good step coverage so that at least substantially one continuous metal layer can be deposited on all surfaces within the holes.

The conductive vias 110 are in communication. In the embodiment in which the structure 162 does not include the selective property redistribution layer 144, the electrical contacts 160 may be directly formed on the conductive vias 110 to establish direct electrical connection with the conductive vias 110. .

不同類型之電接點160為本發明所屬技術領域所已知,且可為本發明實施例所採用。作為非限制性質之一範例,該些電接點160可包含形成於該材料層104上方之導電凸塊。如本發明所屬技術領域已知,一介電材料164可提供於該材料層104上方,且在該介電材料164中欲形成該些導電凸塊之處,可形成多個孔隙並使之穿過該介電材料164。接著,可利用所謂之「凸塊下冶金(under-bump metallurgy)」製程,將一層或多層導電金屬166沉積於該些孔隙內。然後便可在穿過該介電材料164之該些孔隙內之導電金屬166上形成該些導電凸塊。 Different types of electrical contacts 160 are known in the art to which the present invention pertains and may be employed in embodiments of the present invention. As an example of non-limiting properties, the electrical contacts 160 can include conductive bumps formed over the material layer 104. As is known in the art, a dielectric material 164 can be provided over the material layer 104, and where the conductive bumps are to be formed in the dielectric material 164, a plurality of voids can be formed and worn. The dielectric material 164 is passed through. Next, one or more layers of conductive metal 166 may be deposited in the pores using a so-called "under-bump metallurgy" process. The conductive bumps can then be formed on the conductive metal 166 in the voids through the dielectric material 164.

這樣,如上所述,一居間結構170便告形成,該居間結構170包含被該些導電貫孔110(例如穿透晶圓通孔(TWVs))所穿透之材料層104。該居間結構170亦可在該材料層104之一第一面包含一選擇性質重分佈層118,及/或在該材料層104之一相反第二面包含一選擇性質重分佈層144。在圖7之情形下,亦即該居間結構170維持暫時鍵結至該載體底材130時,在就該材料層104相反於該載體底材130之一面,該居間結構170可包含該材料層104上方之電接點160。將該載體底材130從該居間結構170分離後,便可接著在該材料層104之另一面將額外之電接點形成於該居間結構170上,如下文進一步所討論。 Thus, as described above, an intervening structure 170 is formed that includes a layer of material 104 that is penetrated by the conductive vias 110 (eg, through-wafer vias (TWVs)). The intervening structure 170 can also include a selective property redistribution layer 118 on a first side of the material layer 104 and/or a selective property redistribution layer 144 on an opposite second side of the material layer 104. In the case of FIG. 7, that is, when the intervening structure 170 is temporarily bonded to the carrier substrate 130, the intervening structure 170 may comprise the material layer insofar as the material layer 104 is opposite to one side of the carrier substrate 130. Electrical contacts 160 above 104. After the carrier substrate 130 is separated from the intervening structure 170, additional electrical contacts can then be formed on the other side of the material layer 104 on the intervening structure 170, as discussed further below.

參照圖8,將該載體底材130從該材料層104移除前,可使一第一結構或元件(例如一積體電路元件172)之導電部件171在結構上及電性上耦合 至該居間結構170之電接點160,以形成圖8之結構174。該積體電路元件172可被選定成包含一電子信號處理器、一記憶元件及一感光元件(例如發光二極體(LED)、雷射二極體、光電池、光檢測器等等)當中的一種或多種。 Referring to FIG. 8, the conductive member 171 of a first structure or component (e.g., an integrated circuit component 172) can be structurally and electrically coupled before the carrier substrate 130 is removed from the material layer 104. The electrical contacts 160 to the intervening structure 170 are formed to form the structure 174 of FIG. The integrated circuit component 172 can be selected to include an electronic signal processor, a memory component, and a photosensitive component (eg, a light emitting diode (LED), a laser diode, a photocell, a photodetector, etc.) One or more.

如圖9所示,接著可使該載體底材130從該材料層104分離,以形成圖9之結構176,其包含該居間結構170及該積體電路元件172。移除該載體底材130後,可使圖9之結構176在結構上及電性上耦合至另一結構或元件182之導電部件180,以形成圖10之結構184。該另一結構或元件182可包含,舉例而言,另一積體電路元件(像是前文所述及之積體電路元件當中任何一者)、一印刷電路板等等。這樣,電性接觸便在該居間結構170之材料層104之導電貫孔110與該結構或元件182之導電部件180間建立起來。此外,透過該居間結構170之材料層104之導電貫孔110(該居間結構170係插置在該積體電路元件172與該結構或元件182間)電性接觸亦會在該積體電路元件172與該結構或元件182建立。 As shown in FIG. 9, the carrier substrate 130 can then be separated from the material layer 104 to form the structure 176 of FIG. 9, which includes the intervening structure 170 and the integrated circuit component 172. After the carrier substrate 130 is removed, the structure 176 of FIG. 9 can be structurally and electrically coupled to the conductive features 180 of another structure or component 182 to form the structure 184 of FIG. The other structure or component 182 can comprise, for example, another integrated circuit component (such as any of the integrated circuit components described above), a printed circuit board, and the like. Thus, electrical contact is established between the conductive vias 110 of the material layer 104 of the intervening structure 170 and the conductive features 180 of the structure or component 182. In addition, the conductive vias 110 of the material layer 104 of the intervening structure 170 (the intervening structure 170 is interposed between the integrated circuit component 172 and the structure or component 182) are also in electrical contact with the integrated circuit component. 172 is established with the structure or component 182.

本發明所屬技術領域中已知之各種技術皆可用於使圖9之結構176在結構上及電性上耦合至該結構或元件182之導電部件180。作為非限制性質之一範例,導電凸塊186可形成於該些導電部件180上,或形成於該居間結構170之互補導電部件上,像是該些導電貫孔110之曝露端(若該居間結構未包含該選擇性質重分佈層144),或形成於該選擇性質重分佈層144之導電墊154。作為非限制性質之一範例,該些導電凸塊186可利用諸如上文討論該些電接點160時所述及之技術形成於該材料層104上方。在額外實施例中,導電凸塊可形成於該結構或元件182之導電部件180上。 Various techniques known in the art to which the present invention pertains can be used to structurally and electrically couple the structure 176 of FIG. 9 to the conductive component 180 of the structure or component 182. As an example of the non-limiting property, the conductive bumps 186 may be formed on the conductive members 180 or formed on the complementary conductive members of the intermediate structure 170, such as the exposed ends of the conductive vias 110. The structure does not include the selective property redistribution layer 144) or the conductive pads 154 formed on the selective property redistribution layer 144. As an example of a non-limiting property, the conductive bumps 186 can be formed over the material layer 104 using techniques such as those discussed above for the electrical contacts 160. In an additional embodiment, conductive bumps may be formed on conductive features 180 of the structure or component 182.

利用本發明書所述技術可製作出許多居間結構170,該些居間結構所具有之導電貫孔110係製作成普遍、通用之一圖案,即使該些居間結構170係為了搭配具有各種各樣接觸部件圖案之若干不同結構及元件使用亦無妨。該些重分佈層118、144則可針對該些居間結構170之不同子集以不同方式組構及製作,以按不同結構及元件所需客製化該些不同子集。 By using the techniques described in the present invention, a plurality of intervening structures 170 can be fabricated. The interposing structures have conductive vias 110 that are made in a common, universal pattern, even if the intervening structures 170 have various contacts for matching. It is also possible to use several different structures and components of the component pattern. The redistribution layers 118, 144 can be organized and fabricated in different ways for different subsets of the intervening structures 170 to customize the different subsets as needed for different structures and components.
