[0022] The following will describe in detail the specific embodiments of the present disclosure with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0023] Figure 1The packaging process structure of CoW is shown. In this structure, multiple through-silicon vias (TSVs) 102 are formed on a wafer 101. Through-silicon via technology is a high-density packaging technology used to replace wire bonding technology. By filling with conductive materials such as copper, tungsten, and polysilicon, vertical electrical interconnection of the through-silicon vias is achieved. This technology reduces the interconnection length through vertical interconnection, reduces signal delay and unnecessary capacitance / inductance, enables low-power, high-speed communication between chips, increases bandwidth, and realizes miniaturization of device integration.

[0024] Then, using the microbump preparation technology, microbumps 103 are formed to bond the chip to the wafer 101. The chip in the figure exemplarily shows a system-on-chip (SoC) 104 and multiple off-chip memories 105. The system-on-chip 104 is an integrated circuit with a dedicated target. In this disclosure, it can integrate one or more combined processing devices. The combined processing device can be an artificial intelligence computing unit used to support various deep learning and machine learning algorithms to meet the intelligent processing requirements in complex scenarios in fields such as computer vision, speech, natural language processing, and data mining. The off-chip memory 105 exemplarily shows a high bandwidth memory (HBM), which is a new type of memory chip that stacks multiple DDR chips together to achieve a large storage space. In practice, 2, 4, or 8 DDR chips can be stacked.

[0025] In addition to the system-on-chip 104 and the off-chip memory 105, the chips in this disclosure can also include various integrated circuits, such as various passive and active microelectronic devices, like resistors, other capacitor types (such as MIMCAP), inductors, diodes, metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs), complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) transistors, bipolar junction transistors (BJTs), laterally diffused metal-oxide-semiconductor (LDMOS) transistors, high-power metal-oxide-semiconductor transistors, or other types of transistors, etc.

[0026] And CoWoS is formed by connecting a substrate on the basis of the Figure 1 CoW process. Figure 2 The packaging process structure of CoWoS is shown. First, the system-on-chip 104 and the off-chip memory 105 are filled with underfill, then solder balls 201 are placed and bonded to a substrate (such as a printed circuit board) 202, and finally, a package 203 is added to complete the process. CoWoS allows multiple chips to share the wafer 101. Generally speaking, the CoWoS technology can theoretically reduce the overall package thickness by up to 70%.

[0027] Embodiments of the present disclosure form multiple capacitors on the wafer 101 to supply power to the chip. The larger the generated capacitance value, the more stable the power supply. For deep learning chips with high power consumption, extremely large capacitance values are required. The present disclosure proposes a solution to form a capacitor structure on both the upper and lower sides of the wafer in the CoWoS process. The capacitor is a deep trench capacitor, which forms capacitance by etching multiple vertical trenches on the wafer. The more trenches, the larger the capacitance value.

[0028] An embodiment of the present disclosure is a method for forming a capacitor structure on both the upper and lower sides of a wafer, where the wafer includes a first side (upper side) and a second side (lower side) opposite to the first side. The method is as Figure 3 shown. In step 301, a first capacitor is formed on the first side; and in step 302, a second capacitor is formed on the second side. The capacitor structure includes a first capacitor and a second capacitor.

[0029] Step 301 can be understood by Figure 4 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 and their descriptions, where Figure 4 shows the detailed process of step 301, Figure 5 and Figure 6 show its corresponding structure. The following description refers to Figure 4 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 simultaneously.

[0030] In step 401, a first through-silicon via layer 502 and a second through-silicon via layer 503 are etched and formed on the first side of the wafer 501 using a photomask; in step 402, a first dielectric layer 504 is deposited on the first through-silicon via layer 502 and the second through-silicon via layer 503 using low-temperature chemical vapor deposition. The composition of the first dielectric layer 504 is silicon nitride. After this step is completed, a structure 51 is formed on the first side of the wafer 501.

[0031] Then, step 403 is executed to etch multiple deep trenches 505 on the first side. These deep trenches 505 are distributed between the first through-silicon via layer 502 and the second through-silicon via layer 503. In this embodiment, the notch shape of the deep trench 505 can be one of a rectangle, a trapezoid, a parallelogram, and a triangle. After this step is completed, a structure 52 is formed on the first side of the wafer 501.

[0032] In a possible case, the width W and the depth H of each deep trench 505 have a specific ratio, and the specific ratio ranges from 1:3 to 1:15. Preferably, the specific ratio ranges from 1:7 to 1:9. More preferably, the specific ratio is specifically 1:8.

[0033] In another possible case, the width W of each deep trench 505 ranges from 0.8 micrometers to 5 micrometers, and the depth H ranges from 3 micrometers to 15 micrometers. Preferably, the width W ranges from 1 micrometer to 1.2 micrometers, and the depth H ranges from 5.6 micrometers to 10.8 micrometers. More preferably, the width W is 1 micrometer and the depth H is 8 micrometers.

[0034] Each deep trench 505 is spaced apart by a specific distance D, and the specific distance D ranges from 0.5 micrometers to 4 micrometers. In this embodiment, the specific distance D is preferably 2 micrometers.

[0035] In step 404, a second dielectric layer 506 is deposited on the bottom, sidewalls, and the first dielectric layer 504 of the plurality of deep trenches 505, such that the thickness of the second dielectric layer 506 at the bottom of the deep trenches 505 is approximately 0.3 micrometers. After this step is completed, a structure 53 is formed on the first side of the wafer 501.

[0036] In step 405, the second dielectric layer 506 is polished. In this embodiment, chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) is used to polish the surface of the first side to be flat, such that the surfaces of all the through-silicon via layers ( Figure 5 only the second through-silicon via layer 503 is shown) are flush with the surface of the first side, that is, the surface of the second through-silicon via layer 503 is exposed on the first side. After this step is completed, a structure 54 is formed on the first side of the wafer 501.

[0037] In step 406, a first conductive layer 507 is deposited above the second dielectric layer 506; in step 407, a third dielectric layer 508 is deposited above the first conductive layer 507; in step 408, a second conductive layer 509 is deposited above the third dielectric layer 508. The second conductive layer 509 fills the remaining portions of the deep trenches 505 that are not filled by the first conductive layer 507 and the third dielectric layer 508, that is, the deep trenches 505 are filled by the first conductive layer 507, the third dielectric layer 508, and the second conductive layer 509. The third dielectric layer 508 is used to electrically isolate the first conductive layer 507 and the second conductive layer 509. After this step is completed, a structure 55 is formed on the first side of the wafer 501.

[0038] In step 409, a first redistribution layer 510 is deposited and electrically connected to the first conductive layer 507. More specifically, through the layout arrangement of the photomask, a fourth dielectric layer 511 is first deposited, and then the first redistribution layer 510 is deposited. The first redistribution layer 510 is electrically connected to the first through-silicon via layer 502 at the same time; in step 410, a second redistribution layer 512 is deposited and electrically connected to the second conductive layer 509. Through the layout arrangement of the photomask, the second redistribution layer 512 is first deposited, and then the fifth dielectric layer 513 is deposited. The second redistribution layer 512 is electrically connected to the second through-silicon via layer 503 at the same time. After this step is completed, a structure 56 is formed on the first side of the wafer 501.

[0039] In step 411, a first wafer bump 514 is formed on the first through-silicon via layer 502, and the first wafer bump 514 is electrically connected to the first redistribution layer 510; in step 412, a second wafer bump 515 is formed on the second through-silicon via layer 503, and the second wafer bump 515 is electrically connected to the second redistribution layer 512. Preferably, the distance D1 between the first wafer bump 514 and the second wafer bump 515 is 60 microns, and the center distance D2 is 130, 150 or 180 microns.

[0040] The first wafer bump 514 and the second wafer bump 515 adopt the C4 (controlled collapse chip connection) process and serve as the positive and negative electrodes of the first capacitor. More specifically, the charge on one side passes through the first wafer bump 514, the first redistribution layer 510 (the first through-silicon via layer 502), and is stored in the first conductive layer 507 of the deep trench 505, while the charge on the other side passes through the second wafer bump 515, the second redistribution layer 512 (the second through-silicon via layer 503), and is stored in the second conductive layer 509 on the deep trench 505. The first conductive layer 507 and the second conductive layer 509 are electrically isolated by the third dielectric layer 508. The overall structure forms a first capacitor.

[0041] Finally, the chip is attached to the first wafer bump 514 and the second wafer bump 515, and the CoW package manufacturing process structure as shown in Figure 7 is formed. The difference from the Figure 1 CoW package manufacturing process structure is that the CoW package manufacturing process structure of this embodiment forms a first capacitor 702 on the first side 701.

[0042] In this embodiment, in addition to the Figure 1 system-on-chip 104 and off-chip memory 105 in

[0043] The chip can also include other various types of chips, which will not be elaborated here. Figure 3, after performing step 301, step 302 is then executed to form a second capacitor on the second side of the wafer 501. To perform this step, the CoW package manufacturing process structure of Figure 7 is flipped so that the second side 703 of the wafer faces upward, and a second capacitor is fabricated on this side.

[0044] Step 302 can also be refined into Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 8 . In step 801, a first dielectric layer 504 is deposited on the first through-silicon via layer 502 and the second through-silicon via layer 503 by low-temperature chemical vapor deposition. The composition of the first dielectric layer 504 is also silicon nitride. After this step is completed, structure 51 is formed on the second side of the wafer 501.

[0045] Then step 802 is executed to etch a plurality of deep trenches 505 on the second side. These deep trenches 505 are distributed between the first through-silicon via layer 502 and the second through-silicon via layer 503. In this embodiment, the notch shape of the deep trench 505 is one of a rectangle, a trapezoid, a parallelogram, and a triangle. After this step is completed, structure 52 is formed on the second side of the wafer 501.

[0046] In a possible case, the width W and the depth H of each deep trench 505 are in a specific ratio, and the specific ratio is between 1:3 and 1:15. Preferably, the specific ratio is between 1:7 and 1:9. More preferably, the specific ratio is specifically 1:8.

[0047] In a possible case, the width W of each deep trench 505 is between 0.8 micrometers and 5 micrometers, and the depth H is between 3 micrometers and 15 micrometers. Preferably, the width W is between 1 micrometer and 1.2 micrometers, and the depth H is between 5.6 micrometers and 10.8 micrometers. More preferably, the width W is 1 micrometer and the depth H is 8 micrometers.

[0048] Each deep trench 505 is spaced a specific distance D, and the specific distance D is between 0.5 micrometers and 4 micrometers. In this embodiment, the specific distance D is preferably 2 micrometers.

[0049] In step 803, a second dielectric layer 506 is deposited on the bottom, sidewalls, and the first dielectric layer 504 of the plurality of deep trenches 505 such that the thickness of the second dielectric layer 506 at the bottom of the deep trenches 505 is about 0.3 micrometers. After this step is completed, structure 53 is formed on the second side of the wafer 501.

[0050] In step 804, the second dielectric layer 506 is polished. In this embodiment, chemical mechanical polishing is used to polish the surface of the second side to make it flat, and all the through-silicon via layers ( Figure 5Only the surface of the second through-silicon via layer 503) is shown to be flush with the second side surface, that is, the surface of the second through-silicon via layer 503 is exposed on the second side. After this step is completed, structure 54 is formed on the second side of the wafer 501.

[0051] In step 805, a first conductive layer 507 is deposited above the second dielectric layer 506; in step 806, a third dielectric layer 508 is deposited above the first conductive layer 507; in step 807, a second conductive layer 509 is deposited above the third dielectric layer 508, and the second conductive layer 509 fills the remaining part of the deep trench 505 that is not filled by the first conductive layer 507 and the third dielectric layer 508, that is, the deep trench 505 is filled by the first conductive layer 507, the third dielectric layer 508, and the second conductive layer 509. The third dielectric layer 508 is used to electrically isolate the first conductive layer 507 and the second conductive layer 509. After this step is completed, structure 55 is formed on the second side of the wafer 501.

[0052] In step 808, a first redistribution layer 510 is deposited and electrically connected to the first conductive layer 507. More specifically, through the layout arrangement of the photomask, a fourth dielectric layer 511 is first deposited, and then the first redistribution layer 510 is deposited, where the first redistribution layer 510 is electrically connected to the first through-silicon via layer 502. In step 809, a second redistribution layer 512 is deposited and electrically connected to the second conductive layer 509. Through the layout arrangement of the photomask, the second redistribution layer 512 is first deposited, and then a fifth dielectric layer 513 is deposited, where the second redistribution layer 512 is electrically connected to the second through-silicon via layer 503. After this step is completed, structure 56 is formed on the second side of the wafer 501.

[0053] In step 810, a first wafer bump 514 is formed on the first through-silicon via layer 502, and the first wafer bump 514 is electrically connected to the first redistribution layer 510; in step 811, a second wafer bump 515 is formed on the second through-silicon via layer 503, and the second wafer bump 515 is electrically connected to the second redistribution layer 512. Preferably, the pitch D1 between the first wafer bump 514 and the second wafer bump 515 is 60 microns, and the center distance D2 is 130, 150, or 180 microns.

[0054] The first wafer bump 514 and the second wafer bump 515 also adopt the C4 process and serve as the positive and negative electrodes of the second capacitor. The charge on one side passes through the first wafer bump 514, the first redistribution layer 510 (the first through-silicon via layer 502), and is stored in the first conductive layer 507 of the deep trench 505, while the charge on the other side passes through the second wafer bump 515, the second redistribution layer 512 (the second through-silicon via layer 503), and is stored in the second conductive layer 509 of the deep trench 505. The first conductive layer 507 and the second conductive layer 509 are electrically isolated by the third dielectric layer 508.

Finally, Figure 9 the chip is filled with underfill, bonded to a printed circuit board, and then packaged, thus completing a CoWoS package manufacturing structure similar to Figure 2 that shown. Due to the presence of the first capacitor 702 and the second capacitor 901, this manufacturing process provides a large capacitance value and stabilizes the power supply of the chip.

[0056] Another embodiment of the present disclosure is a capacitor structure as Figure 9 shown, which includes a first capacitor 702 located on a first side 701 of the wafer and a second capacitor 901 located on a second side 703 of the wafer, and they are electrically connected to each other.
