Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of integrated circuits, and relates to the stacking technology of three-dimensional metal wires in the chip processing process. Specifically, it is a structure of a three-dimensional chip and a preparation method of a three-dimensional chip. Background Art

[0002] A chip is formed by stacking and accumulating multiple metal layers and multiple passivation layers at intervals. During the chip manufacturing process, due to the presence of protrusions on the surface of the chip substrate, when a metal layer is grown on the surface of the substrate, the metal layer corresponding to the protrusion structure will protrude. As a result, the metal layer grown on the protrusion structure is high, and the metal layer grown on the non-protrusion part is low, resulting in uneven heights of the metal layers, which affects the flatness of the chip. Therefore, the general approach is to polish the passivation layer to make the first passivation layer above the surface of the chip substrate flat.

[0003] The existing passivation layer polishing mainly adopts the method of chemical mechanical planarization. After the polished passivation layer, a metal layer is grown continuously. The metal layer grown above this passivation layer will be at the same height. When multiple metal layers are grown repeatedly, each corresponding metal layer can also be at the same height. For 3D integrated chips, alignment marks are set on the main chip to facilitate the alignment of multiple chips during stacking; the alignment marks are placed in the scribe lane, that is, in the gap between two adjacent metal layers. There is no any pattern in the entire alignment mark, that is, no metal layer is grown inside the alignment mark. However, the area occupied by the alignment mark is relatively large, resulting in extremely uneven pattern density at this part. At the same time, affected by the polishing pressure, there is a large density difference between the part where the alignment mark is located and the part where the metal layer is grown. However, during chemical mechanical polishing, the polishing rate of the part where the metal layer is grown is higher than that of the part where no metal layer is grown, resulting in the part where the metal layer is grown being higher than the part where no metal layer is grown after polishing, causing the metal layer and the passivation layer outside the part near the alignment mark to be excessively removed, forming a depression, which still leads to uneven heights of each metal layer corresponding to each metal layer. Summary of the Invention

[0004] Aiming at the problem in the prior art that when the passivation layer is polished by chemical mechanical planarization, the metal layer and the passivation layer outside the part near the alignment mark are excessively removed, forming a depression, resulting in uneven heights of each metal layer corresponding to each metal layer, the present invention proposes a structure of a three-dimensional chip and a preparation method of a three-dimensional chip.

[0005] The present invention mainly adopts the method of setting an alignment mark protection member at the position of the alignment mark to protect the metal layer outside the part near the alignment mark through the alignment mark protection member, preventing the metal layer outside the part near the alignment mark from being excessively removed. The specific technical solution is as follows:

[0006] The structure of a three-dimensional chip includes a plurality of metal pillars disposed on the surface of a substrate. A registration mark is provided between at least two of the plurality of metal pillars. A registration mark protection member is provided at the edge of the registration mark. During polishing, the registration mark protection member serves as a sacrificial layer to protect the metal pillars around the registration mark, thereby preventing the polishing process from damaging the metal pillars.

[0007] Further defined, the registration mark protection member surrounds the edge of the registration mark for one week to form a closed annular structure.

[0008] Further defined, the registration mark protection member includes multiple layers of annular structures sleeved on each other in sequence.

[0009] Further defined, a plurality of convex structures are provided on the substrate, and one metal pillar is correspondingly provided on each convex structure;

[0010] Wherein, a passivation layer is filled between adjacent convex structures and between adjacent metal pillars.

[0011] Further defined, the metal pillar includes multiple layers of metal wires; the multiple layers of metal wires are stacked in a direction perpendicular to the plane where the substrate is located, and a passivation layer is provided between adjacent metal wires; and a conductive through hole is provided at a position of the passivation layer corresponding to the metal wire, and the conductive through hole conducts adjacent metal wires.

[0012] Further defined, on the same horizontal plane, the width of the annular structure of the registration mark protection member is greater than or equal to the width of the metal wire, and the distance between the registration mark protection member and the metal pillar is greater than or equal to the distance between adjacent two metal pillars.

[0013] Further defined, the innermost annular structure of the registration mark protection member is in contact with the edge of the registration mark.

[0014] Further defined, the material of the registration mark protection member is the same as that of the metal wire.

[0015] Further defined, the cross-section of the annular structure of the registration mark protection member is rectangular.

[0016] A method for manufacturing a three-dimensional chip formed based on the above structure of a three-dimensional chip includes the following steps:

[0017] 1) Grow metal pillars on the convex structures on the surface of the substrate, set a registration mark protection member at the edge of the registration mark between at least two adjacent metal pillars, and fill a passivation layer between adjacent two metal pillars and between the metal pillar and the registration mark protection member;

[0018] 2) After the passivation layer solidifies, the passivation layer is polished. During the polishing process, the metal columns around the alignment mark are protected by sacrificial alignment mark protection parts, and the polishing pressure originally applied to the metal columns outside the alignment mark is transferred to the alignment mark protection parts, thereby avoiding damage to the metal columns by the grinding process.

[0019] Further defined, the steps also include:

[0020] 3) After polishing is completed, a recessed layer is formed at the positions corresponding to the alignment mark protection member and the alignment mark; a conductive via and a metal wire are grown above the protruding structure corresponding to the metal column, and at the same time, the alignment mark protection member is grown to the same height as the corresponding metal wire; a passivation layer is filled between two adjacent metal columns, between the metal column and the alignment mark protection member, and in the recessed layer. After the passivation layer solidifies, step 2) is repeated to polish the passivation layer until the growth of each metal column is completed.

[0021] It is further defined that the polishing process is to fix the substrate plate on a rotating arm of a chemical mechanical polishing device, and polish the passivation layer by controlling the rotation speed and polishing pressure of the rotating arm.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0023] 1. The present invention provides a three-dimensional chip structure, in which a registration mark protection member is provided at the edge of the registration mark, and the registration mark protection member can be used as a sacrificial layer to protect the metal column provided outside the registration mark. Figure 7 When the passivation layer corresponding to the raised structure on the surface of the substrate is polished, under the action of the polishing pressure, the area within the alignment mark and the location of the alignment mark protection piece are removed transitionally, and a depression is formed by polishing; while the metal column (signal contact area) outside the alignment mark is not removed transitionally, and the metal column is intact; the present invention transfers the polishing pressure originally applied to the metal column outside the alignment mark to the alignment mark protection piece, that is, the alignment mark protection piece is sacrificed to protect the metal column (signal contact area); after the polishing is completed, the passivation layer is filled in the depressed part, so that the depressed part and the metal layer are on the same plane, thereby ensuring the flatness of the chip.

[0024] 2. The registration mark protection piece surrounds the edge of the registration mark to form a closed ring structure. A multi-layer ring structure is arranged on the registration mark protection piece; it can achieve more adequate protection for the metal columns around the outer side of the registration mark.

[0025] 3. The width of the annular structure on the alignment mark protection part is greater than or equal to the width of the metal line; the distance between the outermost annular structure on the alignment mark protection part and the metal column is greater than or equal to the distance between adjacent metal columns; the material of the annular structure on the alignment mark protection part is the same as that of the metal line; such settings can ensure uniform density of the metal material on the surface of the substrate, and better eliminate the influence of chemical mechanical polishing on the metal columns around the alignment mark.

[0036] To make the technical solution of the present invention clearer, the technical solution of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the embodiments and the drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention provided in the drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed invention, but merely represents the selected embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0037] The structure of a three-dimensional chip of the present invention includes a plurality of metal pillars disposed on the surface of a substrate 3. A registration mark 4 is provided between at least two of the plurality of metal pillars. A registration mark protection member 5 is provided at the edge of the registration mark 4. During grinding, the registration mark protection member 5 serves as a sacrificial layer to protect the metal pillars around the registration mark 4, thereby preventing the grinding process from damaging the metal pillars. The registration mark protection member 5 surrounds the edge of the registration mark 4 for one week to form a closed annular structure. The registration mark protection member 5 includes a plurality of layers of annular structures sleeved in sequence. A plurality of convex structures are provided on the substrate. One metal pillar is correspondingly provided on each convex structure. Among them, a passivation layer 1 is filled between adjacent convex structures and between adjacent metal pillars of a three-dimensional chip structure. The metal pillar includes a plurality of layers of metal wires 2. The plurality of layers of metal wires 2 are stacked in a direction perpendicular to the plane where the substrate 3 is located. A passivation layer 1 is provided between adjacent metal wires 2. And a conductive through hole is provided at the position of the passivation layer corresponding to the metal wire 2 of a three-dimensional chip structure to conduct adjacent metal wires 2. On the same horizontal plane, the width of the annular structure of the registration mark protection member 5 is greater than or equal to the width of the metal wire 2, and the distance between the registration mark protection member 5 and the metal pillar is greater than or equal to the distance between adjacent two metal pillars. The innermost annular structure of the registration mark protection member 5 is in contact with the edge of the registration mark 4. The material of the registration mark protection member 5 is the same as that of the metal wire 2. The cross section of the annular structure of the registration mark protection member 5 is rectangular.

[0038] The preparation method of a three-dimensional chip formed based on the above-mentioned structure of a three-dimensional chip of the present invention includes the following steps:

[0039] 1) Grow metal pillars on the convex structures on the surface of the substrate 3, provide a registration mark protection member 5 at the edge of the registration mark 4 between at least two adjacent metal pillars, and fill a passivation layer 1 between adjacent two metal pillars and between the metal pillar and the registration mark protection member 5;

[0040] 2) After the passivation layer 1 solidifies, polish the passivation layer 1. During the polishing process, protect the metal pillars around the alignment mark 4 through the alignment mark protection part 5, and transfer the original polishing pressure applied to the metal pillars outside the alignment mark 4 to the alignment mark protection part 5, so as to avoid damaging the metal pillars by the grinding process.

[0041] The above steps further include:

[0042] 3) After polishing, form a recessed layer at the positions corresponding to the alignment mark protection part 5 and the alignment mark 4; grow conductive vias and metal wires 2 above the protruding structures corresponding to the metal pillars, and at the same time grow the alignment mark protection part 5 to be as high as the corresponding metal wires 2; fill the passivation layer 1 between two adjacent metal pillars, between the metal pillar and the alignment mark protection part 5, and in the recessed layer. After the passivation layer 1 solidifies, repeat step 2) to polish the passivation layer 1 until all the metal pillars are grown.

[0043] The above polishing process is to fix the substrate 3 on the rotating arm of the chemical mechanical polishing equipment and polish the passivation layer 1 by controlling the rotation speed and polishing pressure of the rotating arm.

[0044] See Figure 1 , there are two metal pillars arranged on the upper surface of the substrate 3, and two metal layers (M1 and M2) are grown on the two metal pillars respectively. The passivation layer 1 is filled between the two metal layers.

[0045] See Figures 3 - 5 , there are 4 metal pillars arranged on the upper surface of the substrate 3, and an alignment mark 4 is arranged between the third metal pillar and the fourth metal pillar. During chemical mechanical polishing, due to the uneven distribution of the metal pillars on the upper surface of the substrate 3, the metal pillars in the area of the alignment mark 4 and near the outside of the alignment mark 4 are subjected to greater polishing pressure, and the metal pillars far from the outside of the alignment mark 4 are subjected to smaller polishing pressure. After polishing, the metal pillars near the outside of the alignment mark 4 are over-polished to form a recessed area.
