[0055] The specific implementation manner of the semiconductor structure and the method for forming the same provided by the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0056] This specific embodiment provides a semiconductor structure, Figure 1 is a schematic top view of a semiconductor structure in a specific embodiment of the present invention, Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of the cross-sectional structure of the first conductive structure and the wiring layer in a specific embodiment of the present invention, Figures 3A-3C Schematic diagram of a semiconductor structure in a specific embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1-Figure 2 , Figure 3A-3C As shown, the semiconductor structure provided in this specific embodiment includes:
[0057] Base 10;
[0058] A first conductive structure 11, located on the surface of the substrate 10;
[0059] a wiring layer, embedded between the substrate 10 and the first conductive structure 11 in a direction perpendicular to the substrate 10, and extending out of the first conductive structure 11 in a direction parallel to the substrate 10;
[0060] The first plug 13 extends in a direction perpendicular to the substrate 10 , one end of the first plug 13 is electrically connected to the end of the wiring layer extending out of the first conductive structure 11 , and the other end is used to connect to an external circuit.
[0061] Specifically, the material of the first conductive structure 11 can also be a metal material such as tungsten, copper, aluminum, etc. The first conductive structure 11 is located on the substrate 10 and is used to transmit external electrical signals to the substrate 10. The external circuit can be a circuit for transmitting external electrical signals to the first conductive structure 11, such as a circuit for transmitting a test electrical signal to the first conductive structure 11. Figure 1 and Figure 2 At the angle shown, a portion of the wiring layer located below the first conductive structure 11 is not visible and is therefore represented by a dotted line.
[0062] In this specific embodiment, the wiring layer is embedded between the substrate 10 and the first conductive structure 11 along the Z-axis direction, avoiding the occupation of the peripheral area coplanar with the first conductive structure 11 (for example, the area outside the first conductive structure 11 along the Y-axis direction), so that even when the cutting path size is small, sufficient wiring space can be obtained, simplifying the winding layout process in the semiconductor structure, avoiding the problem that the structural layout is easy to violate the design principles, ensuring the reliability of the subsequent test results of the semiconductor structure, and the stability of the performance of the semiconductor structure. At the same time, the first plug for leading out the wiring layer is located at the end of the wiring layer extending out of the first conductive structure 11, so as not to affect the setting of the first conductive structure 11.
[0063] Optionally, the base is a substrate, and the first conductive structure 11 includes a plurality of pads arranged at intervals along a first direction;
[0064] The wiring layer includes a plurality of wirings 12 located between the substrate 10 and the pad, an end of each wiring 12 extending out of the pad along the first direction, and at least one first plug 13 is provided at the end of each wiring 12 extending out of the pad, and the first direction is parallel to the substrate 10.
[0065] Optionally, the semiconductor structure further includes:
[0066] The connection layer is located above the wiring layer in a direction perpendicular to the substrate 10 and is arranged in the same layer as the multiple pads. One end of the connection layer is electrically connected to the first plug 13 at the end of a wiring 12 located below the pad, and the other end is electrically connected to another pad.
[0067] Specifically, the base 10 may be a semiconductor substrate having an active area (AA), and in this case, the wiring layer is located between the semiconductor substrate and the first conductive structure. Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3AAs shown, the first conductive structure 11 includes a plurality of pads located on the surface of the substrate 10 and arranged in parallel along the X-axis direction, such as a first pad Pad1, a second pad Pad2, a third pad Pad3, ..., a nineteenth pad Pad19, and a twentieth pad Pad20. The number of pads included in the first conductive structure 11 can be selected by those skilled in the art according to the design requirements of the integrated circuit, such as the requirements of the electrical performance test. The surface of the substrate 10 also has a test structure 15 for transmitting a test electrical signal to the wiring layer. The plurality of wiring layers are distributed one by one between the plurality of pads and the substrate 10, that is, each pad has a corresponding wiring layer directly below it, and each wiring layer has a plurality of wirings 12 arranged in parallel along the Y-axis direction, and each wiring 12 is in the shape of a long strip extending along the X-axis direction. Each end of the wiring 12 extending out of the pad has at least one first plug 13. For example, the wiring layer between the first pad Pad1 and the substrate 10 includes three wirings 12 arranged in parallel along the Y-axis direction, and each wiring 12 extends along the X-axis direction. In order to ensure the stability of the electrical connection, each end of the wiring 12 extending out of the pad has more than two first plugs 13. The material of the first plug 13 can also be a metal material such as tungsten, copper, aluminum, etc. The "plurality" described in this specific embodiment refers to more than two.
[0068] The connection layer is located above the wiring layer and is arranged in the same layer as the pad, and includes a first connection line 141 and a second connection line 142. One end of the first connection line 141 is used to electrically connect the first plug 13 at one end of the wiring line located below one pad, and the other end is used to electrically connect another pad. One end of the second connection line 142 is used to electrically connect the test structure 15, and the other end is used to electrically connect the first plug 13 at the other end of the wiring line located below one pad. For example, Figure 2As shown, the test structure 15 is electrically connected to one end of the first plug 13 through the second connection line 142, and the other end of the first plug 13 is electrically connected to the left end of a wiring 12 located at the bottom of the second pad Pad2; the right end of the wiring 12 is connected to the end of another first plug 13, and the other end of another first plug 13 is electrically connected to the third pad Pad3 through the first connection line. With this connection mode, the electrical test signal is sequentially transmitted to the third pad Pad3 through the test structure 15, the second connection line 142, the first plug 13 connected to the left end of the wiring 12 under the second pad Pad2, the wiring 12 under the second pad Pad2, the first plug 13 connected to the right end of the wiring 12 under the second pad Pad2, and the first connection line 141. Therefore, part of the transmission path of the test electrical signal is set at the bottom of the pad, which reduces the occupation of the space around the pad and improves the space utilization rate in the semiconductor structure.
[0069] In this specific implementation, the connection layer and the pad are arranged in the same layer, so that the connection layer and the pad can be formed synchronously, thereby achieving further simplification of the semiconductor process.
[0070] exist Figure 2 It only shows that the connection layer is connected to one wiring 12 and one pad. A person skilled in the art may connect the connection layer to multiple wirings 12 and / or multiple pads at the same time according to the test requirements, and this specific embodiment does not limit this.
[0071] In order to further improve the space utilization of the semiconductor structure, optionally, along a second direction, the projection of the pad in a direction perpendicular to the substrate 10 covers the plurality of wirings 12 located thereunder, and the second direction is parallel to the substrate 10 and perpendicular to the first direction.
[0072] Specifically, along Figure 1 , Figure 2 In the Y-axis direction of the bonding pad, the projection of the bonding pad in the Z-axis direction completely covers the wiring 12 located therebelow. The wiring 12 extends out of the bonding pad along the X-axis direction.
[0073] In other specific embodiments, Figure 3B , Figure 3C As shown, the base includes a substrate and a second conductive structure 30 located on the surface of the substrate, and the first conductive structure 11 is located above the second conductive structure 30;
[0074] The wiring layer includes a plurality of wirings 12 located between the first conductive structure 11 and the second conductive structure 30 . An end of each wiring 12 extends out of the first conductive structure 11 , and at least one first plug 13 is disposed at the end of each wiring 12 extending out of the first conductive structure 11 .
[0075] Optionally, the semiconductor structure further includes:
[0076] A plurality of second plugs 31, wherein one end of the second plug 31 is electrically connected to the second conductive structure 30, and the other end of the second plug 31 is electrically connected to the first conductive structure 11;
[0077] Each of the wirings 12 passes through a gap between two adjacent second plugs 31 .
[0078] Figure 3C yes Figure 3B A top view of the structure, and in Figure 3C The first conductive structure 11 is not shown in the figure, so as to clearly show the relative position relationship between the second plug 31 and the wiring 12. Figure 3B , Figure 3C As shown, the substrate can also be a semiconductor substrate with the second conductive structure 30 on the surface, in which case the wiring layer is embedded between the second conductive structure 30 and the first conductive structure 11. The wiring layer is not in direct contact with the first conductive structure 11 and the second conductive structure 30, that is, the wiring layer is isolated from the first conductive structure 11 located above it and the second conductive structure 30 located below it by insulating materials. The first conductive structure 11 and the second conductive structure 30 transmit electrical signals through the second plug 31. For example, when the first conductive structure 11 includes a plurality of pads arranged along the X-axis direction, the test signal can be transmitted to another pad through the wiring 12 under one pad. The wiring 12 passes through the gap between two adjacent second plugs 31, that is, the wiring 12 and the second plug 31 are independent and electrically isolated from each other to avoid signal crosstalk between the wiring 12 and the second plug 31.
[0079] Those skilled in the art can select the materials of the first conductive structure 11 and the wiring layer according to actual needs, and this specific embodiment does not limit this. Optionally, the materials of the first conductive structure 11 and the second conductive structure 30 are metal materials, and the material of the wiring layer is polysilicon material or metal material. For example, when the base is a substrate, the material of the wiring layer can be polysilicon material; when the base includes a substrate and a second conductive structure located on the surface of the substrate, the material of the wiring layer can be a metal material. The material of the second plug 31 can be the same as that of the first plug 13, for example, both are tungsten.
