Description

TSV結構的平坦化裝置 Planarization device of TSV structure

本發明關於半導體器件製造,尤其關於TSV(矽通孔)結構的平坦化製程和裝置。 The present invention relates to semiconductor device fabrication, and more particularly, to a planarization process and apparatus for TSV (through silicon via) structures.

隨著電子工業的快速發展,對電子產品提出微型、低功耗、高可靠性的要求是必然。基於摩爾定律,積體電路特徵尺寸的減小接近瓶頸。近年來,晶圓級的垂直小型化3D矽通孔(TSV)和2.5D插件封裝集成成為可選擇的解決方案,透過降低設計、製程和成本等突破摩爾定律的瓶頸。相應的,由於銅的高導電性、更好的抗電遷移能力,當製造TSV或插件時,銅被廣泛用於填充通孔。 With the rapid development of the electronic industry, it is inevitable to put forward the requirements of miniature, low power consumption and high reliability for electronic products. Based on Moore's Law, the reduction in feature size of integrated circuits is approaching a bottleneck. In recent years, wafer-level vertical miniaturization of 3D through-silicon vias (TSVs) and 2.5D plug-in package integration has become an alternative solution, breaking through the bottleneck of Moore's Law by reducing design, process and cost. Accordingly, copper is widely used to fill vias when manufacturing TSVs or interposers due to its high conductivity and better resistance to electromigration.

通常,銅金屬層的沈積和平坦化製程包括以下步驟:PVD(物理氣相沈積)、ECP(電鍍)、退火、CMP(化學機械平坦化)。TSV或插件中的通孔通常具有高深寬比,為了無空隙的填充深通孔,厚的銅覆蓋層將透過電鍍製程沈積在晶圓表面。因此,大量的銅層需要透過CMP去除,從而使CMP製程在3D TSV和2.5D插件封裝集成中所占成本最高。例如,在中間通孔製程中,CMP製程佔據了總成本的35%。另一方面,Cu和Si之間CTE(熱膨脹 係數)的不匹配產生應力,表現為晶圓級翹曲。應力進一步誘發矽層的微裂紋、載體的移動變化和器件缺陷。經證實,退火溫度越高、銅覆蓋層越厚將導致晶圓級翹曲越高。在CMP製程中,晶圓將被CMP的研磨頭的下壓力壓平,外部的機械壓力將與晶圓的內部應力衝突,從而導致晶圓裂化或產生缺陷。儘管優化了傳統製程流程並且在退火前銅覆蓋層的厚度達到最小,可以在CMP製程之前成功的消除應力並最小化晶圓翹曲,然而,3D TSV或2.5D插件是否可以快速產業化取決於能否解決降低成本和應力的問題。 Typically, the deposition and planarization process of the copper metal layer includes the following steps: PVD (physical vapor deposition), ECP (electroplating), annealing, CMP (chemical mechanical planarization). Vias in TSVs or interposers typically have high aspect ratios. To fill deep vias without voids, a thick copper capping layer will be deposited on the wafer surface through an electroplating process. Therefore, a large amount of copper layer needs to be removed by CMP, making the CMP process the most expensive in 3D TSV and 2.5D package integration. For example, in the via-in-the-middle process, the CMP process accounts for 35% of the total cost. On the other hand, the CTE (thermal expansion) between Cu and Si A mismatch in coefficients) creates stress that manifests as wafer-level warpage. The stress further induces microcracks in the silicon layer, movement changes of the carrier and device defects. Higher annealing temperatures and thicker copper overlays have been shown to result in higher wafer-level warpage. In the CMP process, the wafer will be flattened by the downward pressure of the CMP grinding head, and the external mechanical pressure will conflict with the internal stress of the wafer, resulting in wafer cracking or defects. Although optimizing the traditional process flow and minimizing the thickness of the copper capping layer before annealing can successfully relieve stress and minimize wafer warpage before the CMP process, however, whether 3D TSV or 2.5D inserts can be rapidly industrialized depends on Can it solve the problem of reducing cost and stress.

形成TSV結構的製程步驟通常包括以下步驟:採用蝕刻在晶圓101上形成通孔102,其中,晶圓101的材料可以選用矽;採用等離子體增強化學氣相沈積(PECVD)在晶圓101上沈積氧化層103,其中,氧化層103的材料可以選用二氧化矽(SiO2);採用物理氣相沈積(PVD)在氧化層103上及通孔102的底部和側壁沈積阻擋層104,其中,阻擋層104的材料可以選用鈦(Ti);採用電鍍法在通孔102內沈積金屬層105,其中,金屬層105的材料可以選用銅。 The process steps of forming the TSV structure generally include the following steps: forming through holes 102 on the wafer 101 by etching, wherein the material of the wafer 101 can be selected from silicon; using plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) on the wafer 101 depositing an oxide layer 103, wherein the material of the oxide layer 103 can be selected from silicon dioxide (SiO 2 ); using physical vapor deposition (PVD) to deposit a barrier layer 104 on the oxide layer 103 and the bottom and sidewalls of the through hole 102, wherein, The material of the barrier layer 104 can be selected from titanium (Ti); the metal layer 105 is deposited in the through hole 102 by an electroplating method, wherein the material of the metal layer 105 can be selected from copper.

由於TSV結構的通孔102通常具有高深寬 比,因此,為了在通孔102內無空隙的沈積金屬層105,採用電鍍法在阻擋層104上沈積厚的金屬覆蓋層105。如圖1所示是在實施平坦化製程前的TSV結構的一種具體實施方式,沈積在非凹進區域上的金屬層105的厚度為2μm-4μm,在通孔102內和非凹進區域上沈積金屬層105後,接下來的步驟是去除沈積在非凹進區域上的金屬層105和阻擋層104。 Due to the TSV structure, the via 102 usually has a high depth and width Therefore, in order to deposit the metal layer 105 without voids in the through hole 102, a thick metal capping layer 105 is deposited on the barrier layer 104 by electroplating. As shown in FIG. 1 , a specific embodiment of the TSV structure before the planarization process is performed, the thickness of the metal layer 105 deposited on the non-recessed area is 2 μm-4 μm, and the thickness of the metal layer 105 in the through hole 102 and on the non-recessed area is 2 μm-4 μm. After depositing the metal layer 105, the next step is to remove the metal layer 105 and barrier layer 104 deposited on the non-recessed areas.

參考圖3所示,圖3是本發明一種具體實施方式的TSV結構的平坦化製程的流程圖,用於去除非凹進區域上的金屬層105和阻擋層104。該TSV結構的平坦化製程包括以下步驟: Referring to FIG. 3 , FIG. 3 is a flow chart of a planarization process of a TSV structure according to an embodiment of the present invention, which is used to remove the metal layer 105 and the barrier layer 104 on the non-recessed area. The planarization process of the TSV structure includes the following steps:

步驟301:採用無應力抛光製程(SFP)去除非凹進區域上的全部金屬層105。採用SFP過抛光控制通孔102內的金屬層凹陷。SFP製程為電化學製程,晶圓101上的金屬層105作為陽極,電解液噴頭作為陰極。當陽極和陰極之間施加正電壓時,金屬層105被接觸的電解液溶解、抛光。SFP製程更詳細的描述參見美國專利申請號10/590,460,標題為“Controlling removal rate uniformity of an electropolishing process in integrated circuit fabrication”的專利,申請日為2005年2月23日,這件專利的全部內容都被引用到這裏。 Step 301 : Use a stress-free polishing process (SFP) to remove all the metal layers 105 on the non-recessed areas. SFP over-polishing is used to control the recess of the metal layer in the through hole 102 . The SFP process is an electrochemical process, the metal layer 105 on the wafer 101 is used as the anode, and the electrolyte nozzle is used as the cathode.

步驟303:採用金屬層化學濕法蝕刻製程去除非凹進區域上的金屬層殘餘。SFP製程完成後,非凹進區域上的阻擋層104上可能殘留一些金屬層,為了去除非凹 進區域上的阻擋層104上殘留的金屬層,使用金屬層化學濕法蝕刻製程去除金屬層殘餘。金屬層105的材料較佳者為銅,相應的,用於去除銅殘餘的蝕刻劑主要包括雙氧水(H2O2)、添加劑和氫氟酸,氫氟酸的濃度在2%-10%。在濕法蝕刻製程中,蝕刻劑在脈衝模式下被噴到晶圓表面,如圖9所示。一個脈衝模式步驟包括一步蝕刻劑步驟和一步DIW步驟,例如,首先對晶圓進行10秒鐘的化學濕法蝕刻,然後,對晶圓進行5秒鐘的去離子水處理。多個周期性的步驟形成濕法蝕刻製程處方。周期性的濕法蝕刻製程優化了凹進區域的銅凹陷,DIW將會填滿凹進區域並降低該區域的蝕刻速率。晶圓固定在卡盤上並與卡盤一起轉動,有利於濕法蝕刻製程的晶圓轉速為200RPM-600RPM。不同半徑上蝕刻率與轉速有關,轉速越高導致晶圓邊緣去除率越高、晶圓中心去除率越低,相反的,轉速越低導致晶圓邊緣去除率越低、晶圓中心去除率越高。此外,蝕刻劑噴頭在製程過程中是可移動的,蝕刻率受噴頭的掃描速度和掃描區域位置的影響,最佳的掃描速度為40mm/sec-100mm/sec。 Step 303: Use a metal layer chemical wet etching process to remove the metal layer residue on the non-recessed area. After the SFP process is completed, some metal layer may remain on the barrier layer 104 on the non-recessed area. In order to remove the metal layer remaining on the barrier layer 104 on the non-recessed area, the metal layer chemical wet etching process is used to remove the metal layer residue. . The material of the metal layer 105 is preferably copper. Correspondingly, the etchant for removing copper residues mainly includes hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ), additives and hydrofluoric acid, and the concentration of hydrofluoric acid is 2%-10%. In the wet etch process, the etchant is sprayed onto the wafer surface in a pulsed mode, as shown in Figure 9. A pulsed mode step consists of an etchant step and a DIW step, eg, a 10-second chemical wet etch on the wafer, followed by a 5-second deionized water treatment on the wafer. A number of periodic steps form the wet etch process recipe. The periodic wet etch process optimizes the copper recess in the recessed area, DIW will fill the recessed area and reduce the etch rate in this area. The wafer is fixed on the chuck and rotates together with the chuck, and the wafer rotation speed for the wet etching process is 200RPM-600RPM. The etching rate on different radii is related to the rotation speed. The higher the rotation speed, the higher the wafer edge removal rate and the lower the wafer center removal rate. On the contrary, the lower the rotation speed, the lower the wafer edge removal rate and the lower the wafer center removal rate. high. In addition, the etchant nozzle is movable during the process, and the etching rate is affected by the scanning speed of the nozzle and the position of the scanning area. The optimal scanning speed is 40mm/sec-100mm/sec.

The thickness of the barrier layer 104 on the non-recessed area is 0.2 μm -0.5 μm , and the thickness of the barrier layer 104 on the non-recessed area depends on process requirements. The material of the barrier layer 104 includes titanium. Correspondingly, the chemical solution used for the chemical wet etching process of the barrier layer mainly includes hydrofluoric acid (HF) and additives, and the concentration of the hydrofluoric acid is 0.1%-1%. Similar to the copper wet etch process, in the barrier wet etch process, the etchant is sprayed onto the wafer surface in a pulsed mode, as shown in Figure 9. A pulsed mode step consists of an etchant step and a DIW step, eg, a 10-second chemical wet etch on the wafer, followed by a 5-second deionized water treatment on the wafer. A number of periodic steps form the wet etch process recipe. The periodic wet etch process optimizes barrier overetching on the sidewalls of the recessed regions. DIW will fill up the recessed area and reduce the etch rate in that area. The wafer is fixed on the chuck and rotates together with the chuck, and the wafer rotation speed for the wet etching process is 200RPM-600RPM. The etching rate on different radii is related to the rotation speed. The higher the rotation speed, the higher the wafer edge removal rate and the lower the wafer center removal rate. On the contrary, the lower the rotation speed, the lower the wafer edge removal rate and the lower the wafer center removal rate. high. In addition, the etchant nozzle is movable during the process, and the etching rate is affected by the scanning speed of the nozzle and the position of the scanning area.

The material of the oxide layer 103 is SiO2, and the thickness of the oxide layer 103 is about 2 μm . In order to obtain a flat upper surface, a part of the oxide layer 103 is removed by a CMP process. Typically, the thickness of the removed oxide layer 103 is 0.2 μm . The CMP process has a high selectivity ratio between oxide layer 103 and copper layer 105, such as 100:1. The CMP process can repair the roughness of the copper layer 105 in the via hole 102 .

The planarization process of the TSV structure includes the following steps:

步驟601:採用無應力抛光製程(SFP)去除非凹進區域上的全部金屬層105。採用SFP過抛光控制通孔102內的金屬層凹陷。SFP製程為電化學製程,晶圓101上的金屬層105作為陽極,電解液噴頭作為陰極。當陽極和陰極之間施加正電壓時,金屬層105被接觸的電解液溶解、抛光。SFP製程更詳細的描述參見美國專利申請號10/590,460,標題為“Controlling removal rate uniformity of an electropolishing process in integrated circuit fabrication”的專利,申請日為2005年2月23日,這件專利的全部內容都被引用到這裏。 Step 601 : Use a stress-free polishing process (SFP) to remove all the metal layers 105 on the non-recessed areas. SFP over-polishing is used to control the recess of the metal layer in the through hole 102 . The SFP process is an electrochemical process, the metal layer 105 on the wafer 101 is used as the anode, and the electrolyte nozzle is used as the cathode. When a positive voltage is applied between the anode and the cathode, the metal layer 105 is dissolved and polished by the contacting electrolyte.

步驟603:採用化學機械平坦化(CMP)製程去除非凹進區域上的金屬層殘餘。SFP製程完成後,非凹進區域上的阻擋層104上可能還殘留了一些金屬層。為了去除金屬層殘餘,向晶圓101應用化學機械平坦化製程去除金屬層殘餘。由於採用SFP製程幾乎去除了非凹進區域上全部的金屬層,因此CMP製程的製程時間非常短,節約了成本的同時避免了對晶圓的損傷。 Step 603: Use a chemical mechanical planarization (CMP) process to remove metal layer residues on the non-recessed regions. After the SFP process is completed, some metal layers may remain on the barrier layer 104 on the non-recessed area. To remove the metal layer residues, a chemical mechanical planarization process is applied to the wafer 101 to remove the metal layer residues. Since the SFP process is used to remove almost all the metal layers on the non-recessed areas, the process time of the CMP process is very short, which saves costs and avoids damage to the wafer.

步驟605:採用阻擋層化學濕法蝕刻製程去除 非凹進區域上的阻擋層104。非凹進區域上的阻擋層104的厚度為0.2μm-0.5μm,非凹進區域上的阻擋層104的厚度取決於製程需求。阻擋層104的材料包含鈦,相應的,用於阻擋層化學濕法蝕刻製程的化學品主要包括氫氟酸(HF)和添加劑,氫氟酸的濃度為0.1%-1%。在阻擋層濕法蝕刻製程中,蝕刻劑在脈衝模式下被噴到晶圓表面,如圖9所示。一個脈衝模式步驟包括一步蝕刻劑步驟和一步DIW步驟,例如,首先對晶圓進行10秒鐘的化學濕法蝕刻,然後,對晶圓進行5秒鐘的去離子水處理。多個周期性的步驟形成濕法蝕刻製程處方。周期性的濕法蝕刻製程優化了凹進區域側壁上的阻擋層過刻。DIW將會填滿凹進區域並降低該區域的蝕刻速率。晶圓固定在卡盤上並與卡盤一起轉動,有利於濕法蝕刻製程的晶圓轉速為200RPM-600RPM。不同半徑上蝕刻率與轉速有關,轉速越高導致晶圓邊緣去除率越高、晶圓中心去除率越低,相反的,轉速越低導致晶圓邊緣去除率越低、晶圓中心去除率越高。此外,蝕刻劑噴頭在製程過程中是可移動的,蝕刻率受噴頭的掃描速度和掃描區域位置的影響,最佳的掃描速度為40mm/sec-100mm/sec。 Step 605 : Remove the barrier layer 104 on the non-recessed area by using a barrier layer chemical wet etching process. The thickness of the barrier layer 104 on the non-recessed area is 0.2 μm -0.5 μm , and the thickness of the barrier layer 104 on the non-recessed area depends on process requirements. The material of the barrier layer 104 includes titanium. Correspondingly, the chemicals used in the chemical wet etching process of the barrier layer mainly include hydrofluoric acid (HF) and additives, and the concentration of the hydrofluoric acid is 0.1%-1%. In the barrier wet etch process, the etchant is sprayed onto the wafer surface in a pulsed mode, as shown in Figure 9. A pulsed mode step consists of an etchant step and a DIW step, eg, a 10-second chemical wet etch on the wafer, followed by a 5-second deionized water treatment on the wafer. A number of periodic steps form the wet etch process recipe. The periodic wet etch process optimizes barrier overetching on the sidewalls of the recessed regions. DIW will fill up the recessed area and reduce the etch rate in that area. The wafer is fixed on the chuck and rotates together with the chuck, and the wafer rotation speed for the wet etching process is 200RPM-600RPM. The etching rate on different radii is related to the rotation speed. The higher the rotation speed, the higher the wafer edge removal rate and the lower the wafer center removal rate. On the contrary, the lower the rotation speed, the lower the wafer edge removal rate and the lower the wafer center removal rate. high.

參考圖7所示,圖7是本發明另一種具體實施方式的TSV結構的平坦化製程的流程圖,用於去除非凹進區域上的金屬層105和阻擋層104。該TSV結構的平坦化製程包括以下步驟: Referring to FIG. 7 , FIG. 7 is a flow chart of a planarization process of a TSV structure according to another embodiment of the present invention, which is used to remove the metal layer 105 and the barrier layer 104 on the non-recessed regions. The planarization process of the TSV structure includes the following steps:

步驟701:採用無應力抛光製程去除非凹進區域上的大部分金屬層105,並在非凹進區域上餘留大約0.2μm-0.5μm的金屬層105。SFP製程為電化學製程,晶圓101上的金屬層105作為陽極,電解液噴頭作為陰極。當陽極和陰極之間施加正電壓時,金屬層105被接觸的電解液溶解、抛光。SFP製程更詳細的描述參見美國專利申請號10/590,460,標題為“Controlling removal rate uniformity of an electropolishing process in integrated circuit fabrication”的專利,申請日為2005年2月23日,這件專利的全部內容都被引用到這裏。 Step 701 : use a stress-free polishing process to remove most of the metal layer 105 on the non-recessed area, and leave the metal layer 105 on the non-recessed area with a thickness of about 0.2 μm -0.5 μm . The SFP process is an electrochemical process, the metal layer 105 on the wafer 101 is used as the anode, and the electrolyte nozzle is used as the cathode. When a positive voltage is applied between the anode and the cathode, the metal layer 105 is dissolved and polished by the contacting electrolyte. A more detailed description of the SFP process can be found in U.S. Patent Application No. 10/590,460, entitled "Controlling removal rate uniformity of an electropolishing process in integrated circuit fabrication", filed on February 23, 2005, the entire content of this patent are all cited here.

步驟703:採用化學機械平坦化製程去除非凹進區域上餘留的金屬層105。透過化學機械平坦化製程的過刻時間長度控制通孔102內的金屬層凹陷。金屬層105的材料為銅。 Step 703: Use a chemical mechanical planarization process to remove the remaining metal layer 105 on the non-recessed areas. The metal layer recess in the via 102 is controlled by the length of the overetching time of the chemical mechanical planarization process. The material of the metal layer 105 is copper.

步驟705:採用阻擋層化學濕法蝕刻製程去除非凹進區域上的金屬層殘餘和阻擋層104。阻擋層104的材料包括鈦,用於阻擋層化學濕法蝕刻製程的化學品主要 包括氫氟酸(HF)和添加劑,氫氟酸的濃度為0.1%-1%。在阻擋層濕法蝕刻製程中,蝕刻劑在脈衝模式下被噴到晶圓表面,如圖9所示。一個脈衝模式步驟包括一步蝕刻劑步驟和一步DIW步驟,例如,首先對晶圓進行10秒鐘的化學濕法蝕刻,然後,對晶圓進行5秒鐘的去離子水處理。多個周期性的步驟形成濕法蝕刻製程處方。周期性的濕法蝕刻製程優化了凹進區域側壁上的阻擋層過刻。DIW將會填滿凹進區域並降低該區域的蝕刻速率。晶圓固定在卡盤上並與卡盤一起轉動,有利於濕法蝕刻製程的晶圓轉速為200RPM-600RPM。不同半徑上蝕刻率與轉速有關,轉速越高導致晶圓邊緣去除率越高、晶圓中心去除率越低,相反的,轉速越低導致晶圓邊緣去除率越低、晶圓中心去除率越高。此外,蝕刻劑噴頭在製程過程中是可移動的,蝕刻率受噴頭的掃描速度和掃描區域位置的影響,最佳的掃描速度為40mm/sec-100mm/sec。 Step 705 : Remove the metal layer residue and the barrier layer 104 on the non-recessed regions by using a barrier layer chemical wet etching process. The material of the barrier layer 104 includes titanium, and the chemical used in the chemical wet etching process of the barrier layer is mainly Including hydrofluoric acid (HF) and additives, the concentration of hydrofluoric acid is 0.1%-1%. In the barrier wet etch process, the etchant is sprayed onto the wafer surface in a pulsed mode, as shown in Figure 9. A pulsed mode step consists of an etchant step and a DIW step, eg, a 10-second chemical wet etch on the wafer, followed by a 5-second deionized water treatment on the wafer. A number of periodic steps form the wet etch process recipe. The periodic wet etch process optimizes barrier overetching on the sidewalls of the recessed regions. DIW will fill up the recessed area and reduce the etch rate in that area. The wafer is fixed on the chuck and rotates together with the chuck, and the wafer rotation speed for the wet etching process is 200RPM-600RPM. The etching rate on different radii is related to the rotation speed. The higher the rotation speed, the higher the wafer edge removal rate and the lower the wafer center removal rate. On the contrary, the lower the rotation speed, the lower the wafer edge removal rate and the lower the wafer center removal rate. high. In addition, the etchant nozzle is movable during the process, and the etching rate is affected by the scanning speed of the nozzle and the position of the scanning area. The optimal scanning speed is 40mm/sec-100mm/sec.
