It should be understood that, although the terms first, second, third, etc. may be used to describe various elements, components, regions, layers and / or parts, these elements, components, regions, layers and / or parts should not be limited by these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish one element, component, region, layer or part from another element, component, region, layer or part.

[0042] In order to fully understand the present invention, detailed steps and structures will be presented in the following description to illustrate the technical solution proposed by the present invention. The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, but in addition to these detailed descriptions, the present invention may also have other implementations.

[0043] In related technologies, such as Figure 1 As shown in FIG. 1 , after thinning, the inertial sensor made by the surface micromachining process opens the upper layer by clearing the window to expose the alignment mark. Since the alignment mark is formed at the bottom of the deep cavity, the subsequent process has at least the following problems:

[0044] 1. Alignment problem: since the alignment mark is formed at the bottom of the deep cavity, it is difficult to focus during the subsequent alignment process, resulting in alignment abnormality;

[0045] 2. Measurement problem: since the alignment mark is formed at the bottom of the deep cavity, OVL (overlay, which refers to the alignment of each layer of graphics during chip manufacturing) measurement cannot be achieved, which makes it impossible to monitor the alignment;

[0046] 3. Sword shadow problem: Sword shadows are easily generated around the deep cavity during the subsequent process, causing defects in semiconductor devices and resulting in a decrease in yield.

[0047] Therefore, in view of the existence of the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention proposes a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device, such as Figure 2 As shown, including:

[0048] Step S1, providing a device substrate and a cap substrate;

[0049] Step S2, forming a protrusion with an alignment mark on the first surface of the device substrate;

[0050] Step S3, forming a groove corresponding to the protrusion on the first surface of the cap base;

[0051] Step S4, bonding the first surface of the device substrate with the first surface of the cap substrate, wherein the protrusion is located in the groove after bonding;

[0052] Step S5, thinning the second surface of the cap substrate to expose the alignment mark.

[0053] The manufacturing method of the semiconductor device of the present invention forms a protrusion with an alignment mark on the device substrate. After the cap substrate is thinned, the alignment mark is transferred to the top of the semiconductor device, thereby solving the alignment, measurement and sword shadow problems caused by the alignment mark being formed at the bottom of a deep cavity, so that there is no problem of difficulty in focusing in the subsequent alignment process, thereby achieving high-precision alignment; and OVL measurement can be achieved to monitor the alignment status; and since there is no deep cavity, the formation of sword shadows in the subsequent process to cause defects in the semiconductor device can be avoided, thereby improving the yield of the semiconductor device.

[0054] Example 1

[0055] Below, reference FIG. 3A to FIG. 3F The method for manufacturing a semiconductor device of the present invention is described in detail, wherein: FIG. 3A to FIG. 3F A cross-sectional schematic diagram of a semiconductor device obtained by sequentially implementing a manufacturing method according to a specific embodiment of the present invention is shown.

[0056] Exemplarily, the method for manufacturing a semiconductor device of the present invention comprises the following steps:

[0057] First, step 1 is performed to provide a device substrate 111 and a cap substrate 121 .

[0058] The device substrate 111 and the cap substrate 121 can be any suitable semiconductor substrate, such as a bulk silicon substrate, and can also be at least one of the following materials: Si, Ge, SiGe, SiC, SiGeC, InAs, GaAs, InP or other III / V compound semiconductors, including multilayer structures composed of these semiconductors, or silicon on insulator (SOI), stacked silicon on insulator (SSOI), stacked silicon germanium on insulator (S-SiGeOI), silicon germanium on insulator (SiGeOI) and germanium on insulator (GeOI), or can also be double-sided polished silicon wafers (Double Side Polished Wafers, DSP), or can also be ceramic substrates such as alumina, quartz or glass substrates, etc.

[0059] like Figure 3A, a device substrate 111 is provided. A micro-electro-mechanical system (MEMS) may be formed on the device substrate 111. The device substrate 111 may have a first surface and a second surface opposite to each other, the first surface may be the upper surface of the device substrate 111, and the second surface may be the lower surface of the device substrate 111.

[0060] like Figure 4A As shown, a capping substrate 121 is provided. An oxide layer 122 may be formed in the capping substrate 121. Similarly, the capping substrate 121 may have a first surface and a second surface opposite to each other, the first surface may be the upper surface of the capping substrate 121, and the second surface may be the lower surface of the capping substrate 121.

[0061] Next, step two is performed to form a protrusion 114 having an alignment mark 112 on the first surface of the device substrate 111 , and to form a groove 125 on the cap substrate 121 .

[0062] In some embodiments, Figure 3B~Figure 3D As shown, forming a protrusion 114 having an alignment mark 112 on the first surface of the device substrate 111 may include the following steps S211 to S213:

[0063] Step S211, as Figure 3B As shown, an alignment mark 112 is formed on a first surface of a device substrate 111 .

[0064] In actual preparation, this step can be achieved by a photolithography process. Specifically, a photoresist mask layer can be formed on the first surface of the device substrate 111, and the photoresist mask layer can be patterned through exposure, development and other processes to form a patterned mask layer for defining the alignment mark 112 to be formed; then, the device substrate 111 is etched with the patterned mask layer to form the alignment mark 112.

[0065] Step S212, as Figure 3C As shown, a first mask layer 113 is conformally formed to cover the alignment mark 112 , and the first mask layer 113 defines a pattern of a protrusion 114 to be formed.

[0066] Specifically, a photoresist mask layer can be formed on the device substrate 111 obtained after step S211, and the photoresist mask layer is patterned through exposure, development and other processes to form a first mask layer 113 defining a pattern of the protrusion 114 to be formed, and the formed first mask layer 113 covers the alignment mark 112.

[0067] Step S213, as Figure 3DAs shown, the device substrate 111 is etched based on the first mask layer 113 to form a protrusion 114 with an alignment mark 112 on the first surface of the device substrate 111 .

[0068] In actual preparation, the first surface of the device substrate 111 can be etched by dry etching or wet etching. Taking wet etching as an example, the device substrate 111 with the first mask layer 113 formed on the first surface can be placed in an etchant solution, and the etchant reacts chemically with the device substrate 111 to remove the portion of the device substrate 111 not blocked by the first mask layer 113, and the portion of the device substrate 111 blocked by the first mask layer 113 is protected to form a protrusion 114 with an alignment mark 112. Afterwards, the first mask layer 113 on the protrusion 114 can be removed by a developer.

[0069] Next, step three is performed to form a groove 125 corresponding to the protrusion 114 on the first surface of the cap base 121 .

[0070] In some embodiments, Figure 4C~Figure 4D As shown, forming the groove 125 corresponding to the protrusion 114 on the first surface of the cap base 121 may include the following steps S321-S322:

[0071] Step S321, as Figure 4C As shown, a second mask layer 124 is formed on the first surface of the cap substrate 121 , and the second mask layer 124 defines a pattern of a groove 125 to be formed.

[0072] Specifically, a photoresist mask layer may be formed on the first surface of the cap substrate 121 , and the photoresist mask layer may be patterned through processes such as exposure and development to form a second mask layer 124 defining a pattern of the groove 125 to be formed.

[0073] Step S322, as Figure 4D As shown, the capping substrate 121 is etched based on the second mask layer 124 to form a groove 125 on the first surface of the capping substrate 121 .

[0074] The size (ie, shape and size) of the formed groove 125 is larger than that of the protrusion 114 , so that after the device substrate 111 and the cap substrate 121 are combined, the protrusion 114 can be located in the groove 125 .

[0075] In actual preparation, the first surface of the cap substrate 121 can be etched by dry etching or wet etching. Taking wet etching as an example, the cap substrate 121 with the second mask layer 124 formed on the first surface can be placed in an etchant solution, and the etchant and the cap substrate 121 can react chemically to remove a portion of the device substrate 111 that is not blocked by the second mask layer 124, so as to form a groove 125 on the cap substrate 121. Afterwards, the second mask layer 124 on the cap substrate 121 can be removed by a developer.

[0076] It is worth noting that there is no order of precedence between step 2 and step 3, and the actual execution order of the two is not limited.

[0077] Next, step four is performed to bond the first surface of the device substrate 111 to the first surface of the cap substrate 121 , and after bonding, the protrusion 114 is located in the groove 125 .

[0078] In some embodiments, bonding the first surface of the device substrate 111 to the first surface of the cap substrate 121 may include the following steps S411 to S413:

[0079] Step S411, as Figure 3F As shown, a first bonding layer 116 is formed on the first surface of the device substrate 111 outside the protrusion 114 .

[0080] Specifically, after step S213 above, that is, after the protrusion 114 having the alignment mark 112 is formed on the device substrate 111, any suitable method may be used to form the first bonding layer 116 on the first surface of the device substrate 111 outside the protrusion 114. For example, a bonding material layer may be first formed to cover the first surface of the device substrate 111 outside the protrusion 114, and then the bonding material layer may be patterned using a photolithography process and an etching process to form the first bonding layer 116. Alternatively, the first bonding layer 116 may also be formed by a deposition method including but not limited to a physical vapor deposition method, a chemical vapor deposition method, or a magnetron sputtering method.

[0081] The material of the first bonding layer 116 may include any suitable metal material, including but not limited to at least one of Ag, Au, Cu, Pd, Cr, Mo, Ti, Ta, Sn, W and Al. Preferably, the material of the first bonding layer 116 includes Al or gold.

[0082] Step S412, as Figure 4E As shown, a second bonding layer 126 is formed on the first surface of the cap substrate 121 outside the groove 125 .

[0083] Specifically, after step S322 above, that is, after the groove 125 is formed on the cap substrate 121, any suitable method may be used to form the second bonding layer 126 on the first surface of the cap substrate 121 outside the groove 125. For example, a bonding material layer may be first formed to cover the first surface of the cap substrate 121 outside the groove 125, and then the bonding material layer may be patterned using a photolithography process and an etching process to form the second bonding layer 126. Alternatively, the second bonding layer 126 may also be formed by a deposition method including but not limited to a physical vapor deposition method, a chemical vapor deposition method, or a magnetron sputtering method.

[0084] The material of the second bonding layer 126 may include any suitable metal material, including but not limited to at least one of Ag, Au, Cu, Pd, Cr, Mo, Ti, Ta, Sn, W and Al. Preferably, the material of the second bonding layer 126 includes Al or gold.

[0085] Step S413, as Figure 5A As shown, the first bonding layer 116 and the second bonding layer 126 are bonded to each other so that the side of the device substrate 111 formed with the protrusion 114 is joined to the side of the cap substrate 121 formed with the groove 125. By bonding the device substrate 111 and the cap substrate 121, the protrusion 114 on the device substrate 111 is located in the groove 125 on the cap substrate 121.

[0086] It is worth noting that there is no order of precedence between step S411 and step S412, and the actual execution order of the two is not limited.

[0087] In some embodiments, a first bonding mark 115 is also formed on the first surface of the device substrate 111 outside the protrusion 114, and a second bonding mark 123 is also formed on the first surface of the cap substrate 121 outside the groove 125. When the device substrate 111 and the cap substrate 121 are joined, the device substrate 111 and the cap substrate 121 are aligned based on the first bonding mark 115 and the second bonding mark 123.

[0088] Specifically, after the above step S213, that is, after the protrusion 114 with the alignment mark 112 is formed on the device substrate 111, as shown in FIG. Figure 3E As shown, a first bonding mark 115 may be formed on the surface of the device substrate 111 outside the protrusion 114, and then a first bonding layer 116 may be formed on the surface of the device substrate 111 outside the protrusion 114. The first bonding mark 115 may be implemented by a photolithography process, and the implementation process of the alignment mark 112 may be referred to above, which will not be described in detail here.

[0089] Before step S321 above, Figure 4B As shown, before forming the second mask layer 124 on the cap substrate 121, the second bonding mark 123 can be formed on the cap substrate 121, and then the groove 125 can be formed on the cap substrate 121 through the second mask layer 124. The second bonding mark 123 can be implemented by a photolithography process, and the implementation process of the alignment mark 112 can be referred to above, which will not be repeated here.

[0090] By forming the first bonding mark 115 and the second bonding mark 123, in the process of bonding the device substrate 111 and the cap substrate 121 through the first bonding layer 116 and the second bonding layer 126, the device substrate 111 and the cap substrate 121 can be aligned by aligning the first bonding mark 115 and the second bonding mark 123 (after the device substrate 111 and the cap substrate 121 are bonded, the first bonding mark 115 and the second bonding mark 123 are also bonded, so that a small cavity can be formed. Figure 5A to Figure 5C ), in order to avoid bonding misalignment and ensure that the protrusion 114 on the device substrate 111 can accurately extend into the groove 125 on the cap substrate 121.

[0091] In some embodiments, a sealed cavity is formed between the device substrate 111 and the cap substrate 121 .

[0092] Specifically, if Figure 4E As shown, after the above step S322, that is, after the groove 125 is formed on the cap substrate 121, a cavity 127 can be first formed on the first surface of the cap substrate 121, and then a second bonding layer 126 can be formed on the first surface of the cap substrate 121 outside the groove 125. After the device substrate 111 and the cap substrate 121 are bonded, the cavity 127 formed on the cap substrate 121 is transformed into a sealed cavity. Among them, the method of forming the cavity 127 on the cap substrate 121 can refer to the method of forming the groove 125 on the cap substrate 121 in the above steps S321~S322, which will not be repeated here.

[0093] Next, step five is performed to thin the second surface of the cap substrate 121 to expose the alignment mark 112 .

[0094] As described above, an oxide layer 122 may be formed in the cap substrate 121. The oxide layer 122 may have a first surface and a second surface opposite to each other, the groove 125, the second bonding mark 123 and the cavity 127 may be formed in the cap substrate 121 on one side of the first surface of the oxide layer 122, and the bottom of the groove 125 may be flush with the first surface of the oxide layer 122.

[0095] In some embodiments, Figure 5B~Figure 5CAs shown, the cap substrate 121 and the oxide layer 122 on the second surface side of the oxide layer 122 can be removed in sequence to expose the alignment mark 112. The cap substrate 121 and the oxide layer 122 on the second surface side of the oxide layer 122 can be removed by dry etching, wet etching, etc., which is not limited.

[0096] It is worth mentioning that the order of the above steps is only an example. Under the premise of no conflict, the order of the above steps can also be swapped or performed alternately.

[0097] So far, the introduction of the key manufacturing method of the semiconductor device of the present invention has been completed. For the production of a complete device, other preceding steps, intermediate steps or subsequent steps are required, which will not be described in detail here.

[0098] In summary, the method for manufacturing a semiconductor device of the present invention forms a protrusion 114 with an alignment mark 112 on a device substrate 111, and after thinning the cap substrate 121, the alignment mark 112 is transferred to the top of the semiconductor device, thereby solving the alignment, measurement and sword shadow problems caused by the alignment mark 112 being formed at the bottom of a deep cavity, so that there is no problem of difficulty in focusing in the subsequent alignment process, thereby achieving high-precision alignment; and OVL measurement can be achieved to monitor the alignment status; and since there is no deep cavity, the formation of sword shadows in the subsequent process to cause defects in the semiconductor device can be avoided, thereby improving the yield of the semiconductor device.

[0099] Example 2

[0100] The present invention also provides a semiconductor device, which can be prepared by the method in the above-mentioned embodiment 1.

[0101] Below, reference Figure 5C The semiconductor device of the present invention is introduced and described in detail. It is worth mentioning that in order to avoid repetition, only a brief description is given for the same components and structures as in the aforementioned embodiment 1. For specific explanations and descriptions, reference can be made to the description in embodiment 1.

[0102] Specifically, Figure 5C As shown, the semiconductor device of the present invention includes a device substrate 111 and a cap substrate 121, a protrusion 114 with an alignment mark 112 is formed on the first surface of the device substrate 111, a groove 125 is formed on the first surface of the cap substrate 121, the first surface of the device substrate 111 and the first surface of the cap substrate 121 are bonded through a first bonding layer 116 and a second bonding layer 126, so that the protrusion 114 extends into the groove 125 and is exposed from the bottom of the groove 125, and the alignment mark 112 on the protrusion 114 is located at the top of the semiconductor device.

[0103] In some examples, a sealed cavity is formed between the device substrate 111 and the cap substrate 121 .

[0104] According to the semiconductor device of the present invention, the method of embodiment 1 is adopted to prepare the semiconductor device.
