[0027] The following specific embodiments illustrate the implementation of the "method for forming a substrate with conductive pillars" disclosed in this invention. Those skilled in the art can understand the advantages and effects of this invention from the content disclosed in this specification. This invention can be implemented or applied through other different specific embodiments, and various details in this specification can also be modified and changed based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the concept of this invention. Furthermore, the accompanying drawings of this invention are for simple illustrative purposes only and are not depictions of actual dimensions; this is stated in advance. The following embodiments will further describe the relevant technical content of this invention in detail, but the disclosed content is not intended to limit the scope of protection of this invention.
[0028] It should be understood that while terms such as "first," "second," and "third" may be used in this document to describe various components or signals, these components or signals should not be limited by these terms. These terms are primarily used to distinguish one component from another, or one signal from another. Furthermore, the term "or" as used herein may, depending on the context, include any combination of one or more of the associated listed items.
[0029] Referring to Figures 1 to 7, the flowcharts, cross-sectional views of step S1, the first stage of hole enlargement, the second stage of hole enlargement, the third stage of hole enlargement, the fourth stage of hole enlargement, and the fifth stage of hole enlargement are respectively shown. The present invention provides a method for forming a substrate with conductive pillars, comprising at least the following steps: Step S1: A substrate processing part 10 is perforated to form a plurality of through holes 11 with a first aperture D1 on the substrate processing part 10; Step S2: The plurality of through holes 11 are enlarged; Step S3: A plurality of conductive pillars 20 are filled into the plurality of through holes 11; Step S4: A colloid 40 is filled into the plurality of through holes 11 to fill the gap between the plurality of conductive pillars 20 and the inner walls of the plurality of through holes 11, obtaining a substrate semi-finished product S1; and Step S5: The substrate semi-finished product S1 is ground to obtain a substrate S2 with conductive pillars.
[0030] In step S1, as shown in FIG2, a first processing laser L1 can be emitted by the first laser unit 1 to drill holes in the substrate processing part 10. The wavelength of the first processing laser is 300 to 2000 nm, the pulse width of the first processing laser is 50 to 500 fs, and the pulse energy of the first processing laser is 10 nJ to 1000 µJ. Specifically, the through-hole processing can be performed by using the first processing laser L1 to form a plurality of through holes 11 with a first aperture D1 on the substrate processing part 10, and the first aperture D1 is between 1 µm and 10 µm (for example, any positive integer between 1 µm and 10 µm).
[0031] In step S2, as shown in Figure 3, the plurality of through holes 11 can be enlarged. The enlargement process can include a first-stage enlargement and a second-stage enlargement. Specifically, the first-stage enlargement can be to increase the overall diameter of the plurality of through holes 11, that is, to make the plurality of through holes 11 have a second diameter D2 that is larger than the first diameter D1, and the second diameter D2 is between 10 µm and 100 µm (for example, any positive integer between 10 µm and 100 µm).
[0032] Furthermore, after the first stage of hole enlargement, a second stage of hole enlargement can be performed, which means that a portion, rather than all, of the plurality of through holes 11 can form inclined surfaces 12. Specifically, as shown in Figure 4, the second stage of hole enlargement can make the plurality of through holes 11 have a funnel-shaped structure when viewed in cross-section, so that the width of the upper half of the through hole 11 is greater than the width of the lower half of the through hole 11, which facilitates the subsequent filling of the conductive post 20.
[0033] In one embodiment, a second processing laser L2 emitted by a second laser unit 2 can be used to enlarge a plurality of vias 11. The wavelength of the second processing laser is 300 to 2000 nm, the pulse width of the second processing laser is 50 to 500 fs, and the pulse energy of the second processing laser is 10 nJ to 1000 µJ. In another embodiment, etching can also be used to enlarge the plurality of vias 11, such that the surface roughness of the inner wall of the via 11 is between 10 nm and 50000 nm (e.g., any positive integer between 10 nm and 50000 nm). For example, etching can be wet chemical etching, in which the substrate processing part 10 is immersed in a chemical solution to remove a portion of the substrate processing part 10. Further, the chemical solution can be an inorganic acid or alkali solution such as hydrofluoric acid (HF) or potassium hydroxide (KOH).
[0034] In step S3, as shown in Figure 5, a plurality of conductive posts 20 can be filled into a plurality of through holes 11. Specifically, the substrate processing part 10, which has undergone drilling and hole enlargement processing, can be placed on the vibrating plate R, and a plurality of conductive posts 20 can be placed on the substrate processing part 10. The vibrating plate R is started, and the vibrating plate R can repeatedly vibrate in the horizontal or vertical direction, so that the plurality of conductive posts 20 can move on the substrate processing part 10 and fill into the plurality of through holes 11.
[0035] Furthermore, the bottom of the substrate processing part 10 may have an adhesive layer 30, so that the conductive post 20 falling into the through hole 11 can be fixed in the substrate processing part 10. For example, the material of the adhesive layer 30 may be epoxy resin, benzocyclobutene resin (BCB), silicone, perfluorocyclobutane (PFCB), or polyimide.
[0036] Subsequently, the adhesive filling step S4 can be performed. As shown in Figure 6, adhesive 40 can be filled into the gaps between the inner walls of the plurality of conductive pillars 20 and the plurality of through holes 11 to fix the plurality of conductive pillars 20 into the plurality of through holes 11, thereby obtaining the substrate semi-finished product S1. For example, the adhesive filling step can be performed by spin coating, and then the adhesive 40 is dried to obtain spin-on glass (SOG).
[0037] After the glue filling is completed, the adhesive layer 30 can be removed, and step S5 is performed to grind the substrate semi-finished product S1, as shown in Figure 7. After grinding, the substrate semi-finished product S1 can be obtained as a substrate S2 with conductive pillars on the upper and lower surfaces.
[0038] In one embodiment of the present invention, step S3 may further include using a monitoring module 50 to monitor the filling status of the conductive post 20 in real time, so as to control the vibration direction, frequency and amplitude of the vibrating disk R, and further improve the accuracy and efficiency of the conductive post 20 filling the through hole 11. Specifically, as shown in FIG8, the monitoring module 50 may include a light emitting unit 51, a control device 52, an imaging device 53, a first light receiving unit 54 and a second light receiving unit 55. The light emitting unit 51, the imaging device 53, the first light receiving unit 54 and the second light receiving unit 55 are all electrically connected to the control device 52. The light emitting unit 51 is located on the first side of the substrate processing part 10 and emits a monitoring laser beam Lm toward the substrate processing part 10. The first light receiving unit 54 is located on the first side of the substrate processing part 10 and is used to receive the reflected light La of the monitoring laser beam Lm reflected by the substrate processing part 10 to generate a reflected light signal. The second light receiving unit 55 is located on the second side of the substrate processing part 10 and is used to receive the transmitted light Lb of the monitoring laser beam Lm passing through the substrate processing part 10 to generate a transmitted light signal. The imaging device 53 is electrically connected to the first light receiving unit 54 and the second light receiving unit 55 to receive the reflected light La and the transmitted light Lb and generate a detection result.
[0039] The monitoring module 50 may also include a moving device (not shown). For example, a first light receiving unit 54 is connected to a first moving device so that the first light receiving unit 54 can move in three-dimensional space; a second light receiving unit 55 is connected to a second moving device so that the second light receiving unit 55 can move in three-dimensional space; and a light emitting unit 51 is connected to a laser moving device so that the light emitting unit 51 can move in three-dimensional space. This allows adjustment of the light emission position of the light emitting unit 51 and the light receiving positions of the first light receiving unit 54 and the second light receiving unit 55.
[0040] In one embodiment, the monitoring module 50 is a hyperspectral monitoring module, which includes an optical module and an image analysis module (not shown). The optical module is electrically connected to the image analysis module and includes a light emitting unit 51 and a first light receiving unit 54 and a second light receiving unit 55 as light receiving units. The first light receiving unit 54 and the second light receiving unit 55 can be hyperspectral sensors, such as a hyperspectral camera. The first light receiving unit 54 and the second light receiving unit 55 receive a continuous spectrum with a spectral range of 300 nm to 2500 nm. According to one embodiment, during the filling of the conductive pillar 20, the light emitting unit 51 emits a monitoring laser beam Lm onto the surface of the substrate processing part 10. The monitoring laser beam Lm is reflected from the surface of the substrate processing part 10 to generate a reflected light La signal, and the monitoring laser beam Lm passes through the surface of the substrate processing part 10 to generate a transmitted light Lb signal. The first light receiving unit 54 receives the reflected light La signal, and the second light receiving unit 55 receives the transmitted light Lb signal. The corresponding spectrum is provided to the image analysis module, so that the image analysis module analyzes the spectrum to obtain optical results and transmits the optical results to the processing module (not shown) to control and adjust the vibration frequency and amplitude of the vibrating disk R according to the optical results.
[0041] In one embodiment, the monitoring module 50 can be a wavefront monitoring module, which includes a laser device as a light emitting unit 51, a first light receiving unit 54 and a second light receiving unit 55 as light receiving units, and a waveform generator (not shown). The first light receiving unit 54 and the second light receiving unit 55 can be wavefront sensors and are electrically connected to the waveform generator. The light emitting unit 51 is disposed above the substrate processing part 10. According to one embodiment, during the filling of the conductive pillar 20, the light emitting unit 51 emits a laser beam as a monitoring laser beam Lm onto the surface of the substrate processing part 10. The monitoring laser beam Lm is reflected from the surface of the substrate processing part 10 to generate a reflected light La signal, and the monitoring laser beam Lm passes through the surface of the substrate processing part 10 to generate a transmitted light Lb signal. The first light receiving unit 54 receives the reflected light La signal, and the second light receiving unit 55 receives the transmitted light Lb signal. The received reflected light La signal and transmitted light Lb signal are provided to a waveform generator (not shown) to analyze the reflected light La signal and transmitted light Lb signal to obtain a waveform detection result, and the waveform detection result is transmitted to the processing module. The processing module can control and adjust the vibration frequency and amplitude of the vibrating disk R according to the waveform detection result.
[0042] In one embodiment, the monitoring module 50 can be a photoelastic monitoring module, which includes a laser device as a light emitting unit 51, a first light receiving unit 54 and a second light receiving unit 55 as light receiving units, and an imaging device (not shown). The first light receiving unit 54 and the second light receiving unit 55 can be photoelastic sensors and are electrically connected to the imaging device. The light emitting unit 51 is disposed above the substrate processing part 10. According to one embodiment, during the filling of the conductive pillar 20, the light emitting unit 51 emits a laser beam as a monitoring laser beam Lm onto the surface of the substrate processing part 10. The monitoring laser beam Lm is reflected from the surface of the substrate processing part 10 to generate a reflected light La signal, and the monitoring laser beam Lm passes through the surface of the substrate processing part 10 to generate a transmitted light Lb signal. The first light receiving unit 54 receives the reflected light La signal, and the second light receiving unit 55 receives the transmitted light Lb signal. The received reflected light La signal and transmitted light Lb signal are provided to an imaging device (not shown) to analyze the reflected light La signal and transmitted light Lb signal to obtain stress distribution characteristic results, and the stress distribution characteristic results are transmitted to the processing module. The processing module can control and adjust the vibration frequency and amplitude of the vibrating disk R according to the stress distribution characteristic results.
[0043] In one embodiment, the monitoring module 50 can be a femtosecond ultrasonic monitoring module, comprising a laser device as the light emitting unit 51, a first light receiving unit 54 and a second light receiving unit 55 as the light receiving section, and a waveform generator (not shown). The light emitting unit 51 is disposed above the substrate processing part 10. According to one embodiment, during the filling of the conductive pillar 20, the light emitting unit 51 emits a laser beam as a monitoring laser beam Lm onto the surface of the substrate processing part 10. The monitoring laser beam Lm is reflected from the surface of the substrate processing part 10 to generate a reflected light La signal, and the monitoring laser beam Lm passes through the surface of the substrate processing part 10 to generate a transmitted light Lb signal. The first light receiving unit 54 receives the reflected light La signal, and the second light receiving unit 55 receives the transmitted light Lb signal. The received reflected light La signal and transmitted light Lb signal are provided to the waveform generator to analyze the reflected light La signal and transmitted light Lb signal to obtain a waveform diagram result, which is then transmitted to the processing module. The processing module can control and adjust the vibration frequency and amplitude of the vibrating disk R based on the waveform results.
[0044] In one embodiment, the monitoring module 50 can be a CCD monitoring module, which includes a CCD camera (not shown). According to one embodiment, during the filling of the conductive pillars 20, the CCD camera can capture images of the surface of the substrate processing part 10 in real time and transmit the images to the processing module. The processing module can analyze the micro-hole filling status based on the images and control and adjust the vibration frequency and amplitude of the vibrating disk R in real time. In addition, the CCD camera can also act as an imaging device to capture multiple images of the shadowed areas of the detection area that are not receiving the monitoring laser beam Lm. The image analysis module receives the multiple images and judges and calculates the defects and probabilities of the shadowed areas based on the multiple images. The analysis module may also compensate for the multiple images and judge and calculate the defects and probabilities of the shadowed areas.
[0045] For example, the imaging device can be any device capable of capturing images (such as a camera), capturing the shadowed areas in the detection region of the object under test, especially the areas where the monitoring laser beam Lm cannot be received. An analysis module, such as a computer, can use deep learning to determine the potential defects in the shadowed areas and the probability of those defects occurring. The analysis module may further determine and calculate the defects and probabilities in the shadowed areas by compensating the image. In other words, when the monitoring module 50 of this invention cannot determine the filling status of the conductive post 20 using the monitoring laser beam Lm, the imaging device can be used to assist in determining the filling status of the conductive post 20, thereby improving the accuracy of defect detection.
[0046] In some embodiments, the method for forming a substrate with conductive pillars according to the present invention may further include using an artificial intelligence module 60 to learn and pre-train parameters for through-hole processing and via enlargement processing, automatically selecting a suitable monitoring module 50 according to the characteristics of the substrate processing part 10, and optimizing the settings of multiple monitoring parameters of the monitoring module 50. As shown in FIG9, the artificial intelligence module 60 may include at least a database unit 61, a learning and training unit 62, a parameter optimization setting unit 63, and a monitoring module setting unit 64. The database unit 61 is used to store relevant information about the substrate processing part 10, such as the type, shape, size, thickness, and density of the substrate processing part 10. In addition, the database unit 61 can be connected to the Internet via a wireless network unit (not shown), and can be further connected to a cloud platform to update relevant data or provide deep learning algorithms for use by the learning and training unit 62. The learning and training unit 62 is connected to the database unit 61 and learns and pre-trains using deep learning algorithms based on the relevant data in the database unit 61. The parameter optimization setting unit 63 is connected to the database unit 61 and optimizes the processing parameters based on relevant data on the type, shape, size, thickness, and density of the substrate processing part 10. The monitoring module setting unit 64 is connected to the database unit 61 and selects a suitable monitoring module 50 based on relevant data on the type, shape, size, thickness, and density of the substrate processing part 10.
[0047] The method for forming a substrate with conductive pillars according to the present invention may further include using a cleaning module 70 to remove impurities from the substrate semi-finished product S1 in the polishing step S5. The cleaning module may be disposed above or adjacent to the substrate semi-finished product S1, and the present invention does not particularly limit the arrangement of the cleaning module 70.
[0048] Specifically, referring to Figure 10, the cleaning module 70 may include at least a gas source 71 for storing cleaning material 73 and a gas nozzle 72 for supplying cleaning material 73 to the substrate processing part 10 or the substrate processing part 10. For example, the gas source 71 contains liquid carbon dioxide and is supplied to the gas nozzle 72 at a pressure between approximately 700 psi and approximately 900 psi (e.g., any positive integer between 700 psi and 900 psi), causing the liquid carbon dioxide to undergo isenthalpic expansion into a stream of solid carbon dioxide particles as it leaves the gas nozzle 72, thereby carrying away impurities from the substrate processing part 10 or the substrate processing part 10. In one embodiment, the distance between the gas nozzle 72 and the substrate processing part 10 may be between approximately 0.5 inches and approximately 2 inches (e.g., any positive integer between 0.5 inches and 2 inches). In one embodiment, the gas nozzle 72 and the substrate processing part 10 may have tilt angles of about 15 degrees and 45 degrees (e.g., any positive integer between 15 and 45 inches) to avoid the momentum of the carbon dioxide particle flow being too high and damaging the substrate processing part 10.
[0049] [Beneficial Effects of the Examples]
[0050] One of the beneficial effects of the present invention is that the method for forming a substrate with conductive pillars provided by the present invention can improve the filling efficiency of the conductive pillars by performing a perforation process on a substrate processing part to form a plurality of through holes having a first aperture on the substrate processing part and performing a hole enlargement process on the plurality of through holes, the hole enlargement process including a first stage hole enlargement and a second stage hole enlargement, wherein the first stage hole enlargement is to make the plurality of through holes have a second aperture, the second aperture being larger than the first aperture, and the second stage hole enlargement is to make a portion of the plurality of through holes form an inclined surface.
[0051] Furthermore, due to the cohesive force between liquid molecules and their adhesive force on solid surfaces, liquid adheres to the flow channel openings, making it difficult for the adhesive to flow into the vias during the filling step. The method for forming a substrate with conductive pillars provided by this invention can perform a second stage of via enlargement after the first stage, resulting in a surface roughness of the inner wall of the via between 10 nm and 50,000 nm. This disrupts the smoothness of the liquid surface in the via, allowing the adhesive to flow into the vias more easily during filling.
