Problems solved by technology

When the TSV aperture becomes smaller and smaller, the use of dry etching is limited, which increases the difficulty of etching
In addition, when dry etching is used, the material of the insulating layer on the side wall of the TSV hole will also be damaged to varying degrees.

Abstract

The invention provides a method for etching a dielectric layer at the bottom of a TSV hole, which can reduce the difficulty of etching the dielectric layer at the bottom of the TSV hole for small-diameter TSV holes, and avoid damage to the material of the TSV side wall insulation layer during the etching process. It includes the following steps: (1), thinning the back of the wafer with IC devices, (2), making TSV holes at the positions corresponding to the metal pads on the back of the wafer with IC devices; (3), in the TSV holes Make a polymer insulating layer, (4), remove the polymer insulating layer at the bottom of the TSV hole, and expose the oxide insulating layer at the bottom of the TSV hole, (5), use a wet process to etch the exposed oxide insulation at the bottom of the TSV hole layer, so that the metal pads are exposed, (6) use metal connection lines to make RDL, connect the RDL to the metal pads at the bottom of the TSV, and further make the surface metal pads and micro-bumps, so that the surface metal pads and micro-bumps Connect with RDL.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for manufacturing or processing a semiconductor or solid device in the technical field of microelectronics, in particular to a method for etching a dielectric layer at the bottom of a TSV hole. Background technique [0002] With the continuous advancement of microelectronics technology, the feature size of integrated circuits has been continuously reduced and the interconnection density has been continuously increased. At the same time, users' requirements for high performance and low power consumption continue to increase. In this case, the way to improve the performance by further reducing the line width of the interconnection is limited by the physical characteristics of the material and the equipment process, and the resistance-capacitance (RC) delay of the two-dimensional interconnection gradually becomes the limit to improve the performance of the semiconductor chip. bottleneck. The Through Silicon Via (TSV) pr...
