Embodiment Construction

[0048] The method of forming through silicon via structure in the prior art is mainly based on the copper interconnection process. As the density of the through silicon via structure increases, its aspect ratio increases correspondingly, resulting in a copper diffusion barrier and copper seed crystals. The layer may not completely cover the inner surface of the through hole, thereby causing void defects in the connecting nail formed after electroplating and filling, resulting in a decrease in the reliability of the through silicon via structure, and even an open circuit problem.

[0049] In the method for forming the through silicon via structure of the embodiment of the present invention, an opening with a moderate aspect ratio is first formed on the upper surface of the semiconductor substrate, and the first connecting pin is filled in it. Generally, the width of the opening is A more moderate value is selected to improve the filling effect of the first connecting nail and avoid...

Abstract

The invention relates to a through-silicon-vias structure and a formation method thereof. The formation method includes that a semiconductor substrate is provided, the semiconductor substrate includes an upper surface and a lower surface which are opposite to each other, the upper surface of the semiconductor substrate is subjected to an etching to form an opening, a conducting material is filled in the opening to form first connecting pegs, the lower surface of the semiconductor substrate is subjected to the etching to form a groove, the first connecting pegs are exposed at the bottom of the groove, a conducting material which is capable of being etched is filled in the groove, the conducting material which is capable of being etched is subjected to the etching to form second connecting pegs, each of the second connecting pegs is vertically connected with each of the first connecting pegs, and dielectric layers are filled gaps between the second connecting pegs and the semiconductor substrate and gaps between adjacent second connecting pegs. The through-silicon-vias structure and the formation method thereof have the advantages that the reliability of the through-silicon-vias structure is improved, and the cavity defect is prevented.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of semiconductor technology, in particular to a through-silicon via structure and a method for forming the same. Background technique [0002] 3D packaging stacks two or more integrated circuits vertically in the same chip, which can reduce the space occupied. The substrates commonly used in 3D packaging for carrying integrated circuits often have a through-silicon via structure (TSV, Through-Silicon). -Vias). By using the through silicon via structure to replace the traditional edge wiring for 3D packaging, more logic functions can be integrated in a small device footprint. In addition, the adoption of the through silicon via structure can effectively shorten the critical path, reduce the delay, and increase the device speed. [0003] The through silicon via structure is mainly to form a through hole on a semiconductor substrate, and fill it to form a nail, and then connect the nail to the interconnect structure o...
