下面将结合本申请实施例中的附图,对发明的具体技术方案做进一步详细描述。以下实施例用于说明本申请,但不用来限制本申请的范围。
在后续的描述中,使用用于表示元件的诸如“模块”或“单元”的后缀仅为了有利于本申请的说明,其本身没有特定的意义。因此,“模块”或“单元”可以混合地使用。
在说明本申请实施例的微凸块(Micro bump)之前,首先,对相关技术中的铜柱凸块进行介绍。
相关技术中,通常采用铜柱凸块来实现芯片与基板之间或者芯片与芯片之间的结合。图1为相关技术中采用TSV技术进行封装的芯片的剖面结构示意图,如图1所示,芯片的第一面(如图1中示出的A面)形成有位于介质层101中的金属互连线102,金属互连线102用于引出芯片第一面的信号;芯片的第二面(如图1中示出的B面)形成有铜柱凸块103,铜柱凸块103由铜柱1031和用于焊接的锡块1032两部分形成,且铜柱凸块103的位置与芯片中的硅通孔104的位置对应。从图1中可以看出,相关技术中的铜柱凸块的尺寸D1大于硅通孔的尺寸D2。
随着芯片集成度不断增加,相邻凸块之间的间距也越来越小,而相关技术中形成的铜柱凸块的尺寸较大,无法实现凸块间距小于20微米,因此,不能满足当前芯片堆叠技术中对于小间距和小尺寸的微凸块的要求。
基于相关技术中存在的上述问题,本申请实施例提供一种微凸块的形成方法。通常芯片通过硅通孔(Through Silicon Via,TSV)技术将信号从芯片的正面传输到芯片的背面,而芯片与芯片之间的直接堆叠需要通过微凸块互连。图2为本申请实施例提供的微凸块形成方法的一种可选的流程示意图,如图2所示,所述方法包括以下步骤:
步骤S201、提供芯片,所述芯片至少包括硅衬底和贯穿所述硅衬底的硅通孔。
芯片的内部形成有各种有源器件和电路,用于实现各种功能各样的功能。本申请实施例中,芯片至少包括硅衬底。
硅通孔是形成在芯片内部,且贯穿芯片硅衬底的通孔,硅通孔内部填充导电材料,用于实现将芯片正面的信号传输至芯片的背面。
所述硅衬底可以包括处于正面的顶表面以及处于与正面相对的背面的底表面;在忽略硅衬底顶表面和底表面的平整度的情况下,定义垂直硅衬底顶表面和底表面的方 向,即硅衬底的厚度方向为第一方向。在硅衬底顶表面和底表面内(即硅衬底所在的平面),定义任意一个方向为第二方向。这里,所述第一方向垂直于所述第二方向。本申请实施例中,定义所述第一方向为X轴方向,定义所述第二方向为Y轴方向。
步骤S202、在所述硅通孔中形成导电层。
其中,所述导电层在第一方向上具有第一预设尺寸,所述第一方向为所述硅衬底的厚度方向。
在一些实施例中,导电层的导电材料可以是金属铜或者金属钨。
在其它实施例中,在所述硅通孔中形成所述导电层之前,可以先在所述硅通孔中形成绝缘层、阻挡层和种子层。其中,绝缘层的材料可以是SiO

本申请实施例中,所述连接层用于形成后续的微凸块。
步骤S204、处理所述硅衬底,暴露出所述连接层,形成与所述硅通孔对应的微凸块。
本申请实施例中,处理硅衬底是指刻蚀硅衬底或者对硅衬底进行减薄处理,以暴露出连接层。这里,刻蚀硅衬底可以是采用干法刻蚀工艺刻蚀硅衬底,所述干法刻蚀工艺可以是等离子体刻蚀工艺,反应离子刻蚀工艺或者离子铣工艺。
需要说明的是,本申请实施例中,处理硅衬底,暴露出所述连接层包含两种含义:一是处理硅衬底,完全暴露出所述连接层;二是处理硅衬底,暴露出部分所述连接层。
本申请实施例中,形成与硅通孔对应的微凸块,一方面是指形成的微凸块的位置与硅通孔对应,即每个硅通孔的位置都会对应形成一个微凸块;另一方面由于本申请实施例中的微凸块形成于硅通孔内部,因此,形成的微凸块的尺寸小于或者等于硅通孔的尺寸。
本申请实施例提供的微凸块的形成方法,由于形成微凸块的连接层形成于硅通孔中,通过去除硅衬底,暴露出连接层,即可形成与硅通孔对应的微凸块,如此,可以实现制备具有小尺寸和小间距的微凸块。
