[0106] Fig.15 FIG. 1 is an equivalent connection diagram of the semiconductor device provided in this embodiment. Fig.15 As shown, the external power supply inputs an electrical signal to the semiconductor device through the external lead-out terminal. At this time, the second semiconductor substrate 100 adjacent to the external lead-out terminal is directly powered by the electrical signal input from the external lead-out terminal. After the electrical signal passes downward through the plug structure, it first passes through the deep trench capacitor structure 500 and then enters the next semiconductor substrate 100. The inductive parasitics generated by the plug structure can be filtered out by the deep trench capacitor structure 500, thereby improving the power supply condition of the next semiconductor substrate 100, reducing the impedance in the power supply transmission path, thereby reducing the voltage drop, and creating conditions for stacking more sheets.

Next, a first mask layer 401 is formed on the back side of the second semiconductor substrate 100, and the first mask layer 401 completely covers the back side of the second semiconductor substrate 100. Then, the first mask layer 401 and a portion of the depth of the second semiconductor substrate 100 are etched to form at least one deep trench 102 that penetrates the first mask layer 401 and exposes the interior of the second semiconductor substrate 100.

Then, the first sub-dielectric layer 601, the isolation layer 402, the first mask layer 401 and a portion of the thickness of the second semiconductor substrate 100 are etched until the first power supply metal layer 101a and the second power supply metal layer 101b are exposed, forming a first contact hole 601a and a second contact hole 601b.

Figure 8 In the embodiment, the ends of the first plug structure 702a and the second plug structure 702b extending into the second semiconductor substrate 100 are first ends, and the ends of the first plug structure 702a and the second plug structure 702b away from the first ends are second ends.
[0120] like Fig. 9 As shown, a second sub-dielectric layer 602 is formed on the first sub-dielectric layer 601. When the second sub-dielectric layer 602 is formed, a first interconnection structure 701a and a second interconnection structure 701b are also formed in the second sub-dielectric layer 602. The first interconnection structure 701a is located above the first plug structure 702a, and is electrically connected to the second end of the first plug structure 702a and the first conductive layer 501. The second interconnection structure 701b is located above the second plug structure 702b, and is electrically connected to the second end of the second plug structure 702b and the second conductive layer 502. The isolation layer 402, the first mask layer 401, the first sub-dielectric layer 601 and the second sub-dielectric layer 602 together constitute the first dielectric layer.

Afterwards, a first bonding metal layer is formed in the first bonding dielectric layer 802, and the first bonding metal layer includes a first sub-bonding metal layer 801a and a second sub-bonding metal layer 801b, the first sub-bonding metal layer 801a also extends into the second sub-dielectric layer 602 to be electrically connected to the first interconnect structure 701a, and the second sub-bonding metal layer 801b also extends into the second sub-dielectric layer 602 to be electrically connected to the second interconnect structure 701b. At least part of the surface of the first sub-bonding metal layer 801a and the second sub-bonding metal layer 801b needs to be exposed to the first bonding dielectric layer 802. The first bonding dielectric layer 802 and the first bonding metal layer together constitute a first hybrid bonding structure.

At least part of the surface of the third sub-bonding metal layer 804a and the fourth sub-bonding metal layer 804b needs to expose the second bonding dielectric layer 803. The second bonding dielectric layer 803 and the second bonding metal layer together constitute a second hybrid bonding structure.
[0123] It should be noted that the step of operating the first semiconductor substrate 100 may also be performed at other times, for example, before operating the second semiconductor substrate 100 , or simultaneously with operating the second semiconductor substrate 100 .

[0125] Through the above steps, the stacking of the two semiconductor substrates can be completed.
[0126] Next, if Fig.13 As shown, Fig.12 The first semiconductor substrate 100 in the stack is used as the second semiconductor substrate 100, and another semiconductor substrate 100 is taken as the first semiconductor substrate 100, and the above steps are repeated to complete the stacking of the next semiconductor substrate 100. By sequentially stacking the first semiconductor substrate 100 on the second semiconductor substrate 100, when stacking two adjacent semiconductor substrates 100, the first dielectric layer, the plug structure, the deep trench capacitor structure 500 and the first hybrid bonding structure are first formed on the back side of the second semiconductor substrate 100, and the second hybrid bonding structure is formed on the front side of the first semiconductor substrate 100, and then the first hybrid bonding structure and the second hybrid bonding structure are used to bond the front side of the first semiconductor substrate 100 to the back side of the second semiconductor substrate 100, so that all the semiconductor substrates 100 can be stacked together.
[0127] like Fig.14 As shown, after all the semiconductor substrates 100 are stacked, the support substrate 200 can be debonded, so as to remove the support substrate 200 and the temporary bonding layer 300.

[0144] Embodiment 3
[0145] Figure 25~Figure 28 This is a flow chart corresponding to the corresponding steps of the method for preparing a semiconductor device provided in this embodiment. Figure 25~Figure 28As shown, the difference from the first embodiment is that in this embodiment, when all the semiconductor substrates 10 are stacked, the second semiconductor substrate is stacked on the first semiconductor substrate in sequence.

Fig.11 The second hybrid bonding structure is formed on the front surface of the first semiconductor substrate 100 in the step of.
[0147] The specific steps of forming the first dielectric layer, the plug structure, the deep trench capacitor structure 500 , the first hybrid bonding structure and the second hybrid bonding structure have been described in detail in the first embodiment and will not be repeated here.
[0148] like Fig.25 As shown, the back side of the second semiconductor substrate 100 is bonded to the front side of the first semiconductor substrate 100 by using the first hybrid bonding structure on the back side of the second semiconductor substrate 100 and the second hybrid bonding structure on the front side of the first semiconductor substrate 100 .
[0149] Through the above steps, the stacking of the two semiconductor substrates 100 can be completed.
[0150] like Fig.26 As shown, the support substrate 200 is debonded, thereby removing the support substrate 200 and the temporary bonding layer 300. Fig.26 The second semiconductor substrate 100 in the embodiment is used as the first semiconductor substrate 100, and the first semiconductor substrate 100 (that is, Fig.26 The second hybrid bonding structure is formed on the front side of the second semiconductor substrate 100.
[0151] Take another semiconductor substrate 100 as the second semiconductor substrate 100. Repeat the above steps, referring to Figure 2~Figure 10 The first dielectric layer, the plug structure, the deep trench capacitor structure 500 and the first hybrid bonding structure are formed on the back side of the second semiconductor substrate 100 in the step of. Fig. 27 As shown, the back side of the second semiconductor substrate 100 is bonded to the front side of the first semiconductor substrate 100 by using the first hybrid bonding structure on the back side of the second semiconductor substrate 100 and the second hybrid bonding structure on the front side of the first semiconductor substrate 100. The stacking of the next semiconductor substrate 100 is completed.
[0152] like Fig.28 As shown, by stacking the second semiconductor substrate 100 on the first semiconductor substrate 100 in sequence, when stacking two adjacent semiconductor substrates 100, the first dielectric layer, the plug structure, the deep trench capacitor structure 500 and the first hybrid bonding structure are first formed on the back side of the second semiconductor substrate 100, and the second hybrid bonding structure is formed on the front side of the first semiconductor substrate 100, and then the first hybrid bonding structure and the second hybrid bonding structure are used to bond the back side of the second semiconductor substrate 100 to the front side of the first semiconductor substrate 100, so that all the semiconductor substrates 100 can be stacked together.

[0154] In summary, in the semiconductor device provided in the embodiment of the present invention, it includes an external lead-out terminal and at least two stacked semiconductor substrates, the first semiconductor substrate of the two adjacent semiconductor substrates is bonded to the back of the second semiconductor substrate, the external lead-out terminal is electrically connected to the adjacent second semiconductor substrate, each first dielectric layer between the two adjacent semiconductor substrates has a plug structure, and the two adjacent semiconductor substrates can be electrically connected through the plug structure. After the external lead-out terminal is connected to an external power source, the external power source can supply power to each semiconductor substrate through the plug structure to form a power transmission path. Since at least part of the first dielectric layer has a deep trench capacitor structure, and the deep trench capacitor structure is electrically connected to the second end of the plug structure in the corresponding first dielectric layer, the electrical signal passing through the plug structure will first pass through the deep trench capacitor structure before entering the next semiconductor substrate, and the inductive parasitic generated by the plug structure can be filtered by the deep trench capacitor structure connected to it, thereby improving the power supply of the next semiconductor substrate, reducing the impedance in the power transmission path, thereby reducing the voltage drop, and creating conditions for stacking more sheets. Accordingly, the embodiment of the present invention also provides a method for preparing a semiconductor device.
