Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of glass, and particularly relates to an oriented arrangement high-precision aperture and high aspect ratio microchannel TGV glass substrate and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of semiconductor technology, packaging technology has increasingly become more refined and integrated. In this context, as a core material in semiconductor packaging, the performance of the glass substrate directly determines the performance and long-term reliability of the final device. A high-performance glass substrate not only needs to have excellent electrical insulation performance, thermal stability, and mechanical strength, but also should be able to adapt to various complex processing technologies.

[0003] In recent years, glass substrates with oriented microchannels (Through-Glass Vias, TGV) have received extensive attention due to their unique structure and excellent performance. By forming vertical microchannels in the glass, this substrate realizes the interconnection between the upper and lower layer circuits, greatly improving the packaging density and signal transmission efficiency. In the fields of high-end chips, radio frequency devices, optoelectronic devices, etc., TGV glass substrates have shown great application potential.

[0004] Although TGV glass substrates have many advantages, the existing preparation methods face many challenges. These challenges not only limit the further application of TGV glass substrates, but also increase their production cost and difficulty. For example: the current mainstream TGV technology uses direct hole-forming processes such as laser-induced etching and plasma dry etching, and has the following problems:

[0005] 1) High energy consumption: When using a CO 2 laser for etching, the power usually needs to exceed 500W, which results in a large amount of energy consumption.

[0006] 2) High cost: High energy consumption and complex equipment requirements make the production cost of TGV glass substrates remain high.

[0007] 3) Low efficiency: The existing etching process is slow, which is not conducive to large-scale and efficient production.

[0008] 4) Sidewall roughness: Rough pore walls are easily formed during the etching process, which will affect the subsequent metallization quality and thus affect the performance of the device.

[0009] 5) Aspect ratio limitation: Limited by the etching technology, the aspect ratio of the microchannels is difficult to reach the ideal state, which limits the application of TGV glass substrates in higher density packaging.

[0010] 6) Poor pore diameter consistency: Due to the high difficulty of process control, the pore diameter consistency of the microchannels is poor, which will have an adverse impact on subsequent processing and device performance.

[0011] Therefore, it is of great practical significance to develop a preparation method of TGV glass substrate that is efficient, low-cost and capable of precisely controlling the size and arrangement direction of microchannels. Summary of the Invention

Subsequently, the Y 2 O 3 -AlN layer is deposited at a temperature of 800 °C, with a Y source gas flow rate of 3 sccm, an Al source gas flow rate of 8 sccm, and the N source gas flow rate adjusted according to the reaction equilibrium. The deposition time is controlled so that the thickness of the Y 2 O 3 -AlN layer reaches approximately 2.5 μm. During the template preparation process, after the deposition of the Sc 2 O 3 -ZrO 2 layer, photoresist coating, photolithography, development, and etching are carried out to form the core layer, then photoresist stripping is performed, and then the Y 2 O 3 -AlN layer is deposited. After that, photoresist coating, photolithography, development, and etching are carried out again to complete the template pattern making. Among them, the photolithography exposure time is 10 s, the exposure energy is 100 mJ / cm 2 , the development time is 1 min, the etching is carried out using reactive ion etching (RIE), and the etching gas is a mixed gas of CF 4 and O 2 ; the CF 4 flow rate is 20 sccm, the O 2 flow rate is 5 sccm, and the etching power is 100 W.

[0064] Preparation of S2 glass powder: The E-glass is heated to 1500 °C, melted for 10 h, quenched in water and then ball-milled for 45 h at a ball mill rotation speed of 280 r / min to obtain glass powder with a D50 particle size of 360 nm and a uniform particle size distribution.

[0065] S3 Glass powder filling: Using an ultrasonic vibration filling device with a vibration frequency of 20 kHz, an amplitude of 5 μm, and a filling pressure of 0.05 MPa, filling is carried out for 30 min under a vacuum of 10 -4 Pa. By adjusting the powder humidity to 0.07%, the filling rate is ensured to reach 98.3%; the filling density is monitored in real time using a laser scanning confocal microscope (LSCM) to ensure that there are no air bubbles remaining in the pores. After filling, it is gently rolled at 0.05 MPa to eliminate the loose powder on the surface.

[0066] S4 Glass forming: Sintering is carried out according to the sintering temperature curve, and nitrogen protection is applied throughout the sintering process. In the first stage (debinding), the temperature is raised to 400 °C at a rate of 3 °C / min and held for 1 h; in the second stage (pre-sintering), the temperature is raised to 700 °C at a rate of 2 °C / min and held for 0.5 h; in the third stage (densification), the temperature is raised to 900 °C at a rate of 1 °C / min and held for 2 h; at the same time, an isostatic pressure of 1 MPa is applied in the third stage. Subsequently, annealing is carried out. When the temperature is above Tg (550 °C), the cooling rate is 4 °C / min. When the temperature drops to 550 °C, it is held for 20 min to eliminate thermal stress. When the temperature drops below Tg, the cooling rate is 1 °C / min.

[0067] S5 Glass treatment: Grinding is carried out using a double-sided grinder with a diamond grinding wheel (grit size #2000), a grinding pressure of 0.1 MPa, and a grinding fluid of SiO 2 alkaline suspension (including SiO 2 particles, sodium hydroxide, and deionized water) with a flow rate of 3 L / min until the thickness reaches 0.202 mm and the surface roughness Ra = 0.009 μm. After grinding, ultrasonic cleaning is first carried out alternately with deionized water and isopropyl alcohol at a temperature of 30 °C and an ultrasonic power of 150 W; subsequently, argon plasma cleaning is carried out with a power of 200 W for 7 min.

[0068] S6 Microchannel formation: The etching solution is a mixed aqueous solution of HNO 3 and H 2 O 2 with a HNO 3 concentration of 50 wt.% and a H 2 O 2 concentration of 20 wt.%, a flow rate of 1 m / s, and etching is carried out for 3 h under stirring conditions at 30 °C. After cleaning, a TGV glass substrate with a high-precision pore diameter and high aspect ratio of microchannels arranged in an oriented manner is obtained.

[0069] After SEM analysis, the pore diameter deviation of the directionally arranged high-precision pore diameter and high aspect ratio microchannel TGV glass substrate prepared in this example is ±1.6%, the aspect ratio reaches 9.8:1, and the surface roughness Ra of the side wall is 42 nm.

[0070] Comparative Example 1

[0071] The preparation method of the microchannel TGV glass substrate of Comparative Example 1 includes the following steps:

[0072] Use CO 2 The laser (with a power of 600 W) is directly used to perform laser-induced etching on the glass substrate after forming processes such as sintering and annealing to form holes. The laser beam focusing parameters are set as follows: the focal length is 100 mm, and the spot diameter is 20 μm. The etching process is carried out in a normal temperature and pressure environment without special environmental control. The etching time is adjusted according to the expected hole depth, and it takes about 10 s to etch 1 μm depth.

[0073] After SEM analysis, the pore diameter deviation of the microchannel TGV glass substrate prepared in Comparative Example 1 reaches ±8%, and the aspect ratio is only 4:1; the surface roughness Ra of the side wall is 250 nm. This is because during laser-induced etching, the distribution of laser energy on the glass surface is difficult to precisely control, resulting in poor pore diameter consistency and large deviation. At the same time, there is a large loss of laser energy during the transmission to the interior of the glass, which limits the improvement of the aspect ratio. Moreover, a heat-affected zone is generated during the laser etching process, causing local melting and re-solidification of the glass surface, resulting in an increase in the side wall roughness.

[0074] Comparative Example 2

[0075] The preparation method of the microchannel TGV glass substrate of Comparative Example 2 includes the following steps:

[0076] Use a conventional plasma dry etching equipment to etch the glass substrate to form holes. The etching gas is selected as a mixture of SF 6 and O 2 The flow rate of SF 6 is 40 sccm, and the flow rate of O 2 is 15 sccm. The etching power is 300 W, and the etching time is adjusted according to the expected hole depth, and the etching time is estimated at a rate of 1 μm / min of etching depth. During the etching process, the pressure in the equipment cavity is maintained at 10 Pa, and the electrode spacing is 20 mm.

[0077] After SEM analysis, the pore size deviation of the microchannel TGV glass substrate prepared in Comparative Example 2 is ±6%, the depth-to-width ratio is 6:1, and the surface roughness Ra of the side wall is 220 nm. This is because in plasma dry etching, the process of ion bombarding the glass surface has a certain degree of randomness, making it difficult to achieve precise control of the pore size, resulting in a relatively large pore size deviation. As the etching depth increases, the energy of ions reaching the bottom gradually weakens, and the etching efficiency decreases, limiting the increase of the depth-to-width ratio. Moreover, the physical bombardment during the etching process will cause microscopic unevenness on the glass surface, resulting in a relatively high side wall roughness.

[0078] Comparative Example 3

[0079] The difference from Example 1 is that in step S12, the deposition time is controlled to make the thickness of the Sc 2 O 3 -ZrO 2 layer reach about 75 μm, and the deposition of the Y 2 O 3 -AlN layer is not carried out.

[0080] After SEM analysis, the pore size deviation of the microchannel TGV glass substrate prepared in Comparative Example 3 is ±4%, the depth-to-width ratio is 7:1, and the surface roughness Ra of the side wall is 70 nm. This is because without the barrier of the Y 2 O 3 -AlN layer, during the process of glass powder filling, sintering and subsequent treatment, the glass components are prone to diffuse into the template material, affecting the structural stability of the template, resulting in a decrease in the control precision of the pore size and the pore wall when etching the microchannels, and further increasing the pore size deviation, reducing the depth-to-width ratio and increasing the side wall roughness.

[0081] Comparative Example 4

[0082] The difference from Example 1 is that in step S12, the Sc 2 O 3 -ZrO 2 layer is not deposited, and the deposition time is controlled to make the thickness of the Y 2 O 3 -AlN layer reach about 75 μm.

[0083] After SEM analysis, the pore size deviation of the microchannel TGV glass substrate prepared in Comparative Example 4 is ±5%, the depth-to-width ratio is 6.5:1, and the surface roughness Ra of the side wall is 80 nm. This is because Sc 2 O 3 -ZrO 2The layer has a coefficient of thermal expansion matching that of the glass substrate and good high-temperature mechanical properties. After the core layer is missing, during the high-temperature sintering and annealing processes, the thermal stress between the template and the glass does not match, and problems such as deformation and cracking are likely to occur, affecting the forming quality of the subsequent microchannels, resulting in a larger pore size deviation, a smaller aspect ratio, and an increase in the sidewall roughness.

[0084] Comparative Example 5

[0085] The difference from Example 1 is that in step S6, the etching solution is an aqueous mixed solution of HNO 3 and HF, the concentration of HNO 3 is 30 wt.%, and the concentration of HF is 10 wt.%.

[0086] After SEM analysis, the pore size deviation of the microchannel TGV glass substrate prepared in Comparative Example 5 is ±13%, the aspect ratio is 12:1, and the surface roughness Ra of the sidewall is 320 nm. This is because hydrofluoric acid will react not only with the template material but also with the glass substrate. Hydrofluoric acid will chemically react with silicon dioxide in the glass to generate gaseous silicon tetrafluoride and water. This reaction causes the glass substrate to be corroded additionally during the etching process, making it difficult to precisely control the formation process of the microchannels. On the one hand, the excessive corrosion of the glass substrate will lead to an increase in the pore size deviation; on the other hand, since the glass substrate and the template material are etched simultaneously, it is difficult to coordinate the etching rates of the two, affecting the aspect ratio of the microchannels and unable to reach the ideal state; in addition, after the surface of the glass substrate is corroded by hydrofluoric acid, microscopic unevenness will be generated, resulting in an increase in the sidewall roughness.

[0087] Through the comparison of the above examples and comparative examples, it can be seen that the preparation method of the present invention has significant advantages in controlling the pore size accuracy, improving the aspect ratio, and reducing the sidewall roughness, can effectively solve the problems existing in the prior art, and meet the high-performance requirements of advanced semiconductor packaging for TGV glass substrates.
