Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of three-dimensional integrated circuits, and particularly relates to a through-silicon via (TSV) link total ionizing dose (TID) effect evaluation method and device based on an equivalent circuit model, and a medium, which can be used for three-dimensional integrated circuit radiation effect simulation. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the development of semiconductor technology, device size is approaching the physical limit of the material, and Moore's law is ending. The vigorous development of information technology and the rise of emerging industries have increased the demand for high-performance chips. In aerospace applications, these chips must overcome challenges related to interconnect bandwidth, integration density, and power consumption. Post-Moore's law proposes three-dimensional (3D) integration technology, including three-dimensional integration of active integrated circuits (ICs), 2.5-dimensional (2.5D) integration of passive silicon or glass interconnects, and heterogeneous chip integration. Through-silicon via (TSV) technology is a vertical interconnection solution that has become a key technology for continuing Moore's law due to its potential to shorten interconnection distances, reduce power consumption, increase packaging density, and enable device miniaturization and multifunctionality.

[0003] Through-silicon via (TSV) technology provides numerous advantages for high-performance chips, but the signal integrity problem of through-silicon via (TSV) in a radiation environment cannot be ignored. Through-silicon via (TSV) is a metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) structure that is highly sensitive to ionizing radiation. Total ionizing dose (TID) radiation can cause degradation of through-silicon via (TSV) materials, and in addition, the total ionizing dose (TID) radiation-induced products can change the parasitic resistance, capacitance, and inductance of the TSV, which in turn leads to signal loss in the through-silicon via (TSV). In order to use through-silicon via (TSV) technology in high-performance chips in a radiation environment, it is necessary to evaluate the total ionizing dose (TID) effect of the through-silicon via (TSV) link. However, the total ionizing dose (TID) effect evaluation of through-silicon via (TSV) by irradiation testing has the disadvantages of high cost and poor flexibility.

[0004] Chinese patent document CN114595521A discloses a total dose effect modeling method for microsystem three-dimensional interconnection structure transmission of high frequency signal. This method models the total ionizing dose (TID) effect of through-silicon via (TSV) based on an equivalent circuit model of three-dimensional interconnection structure, and uses numerical fitting to functionally fit the changes of through-silicon via (TSV) resistance and oxide layer capacitance with radiation dose. This method does not consider the capacitance and conductance of the silicon substrate, the capacitance and inductance of the redistribution layer (RDL), the capacitance and inductance of the bump, and the crosstalk effect between signal through-silicon vias (TSVs) in the three-dimensional interconnection structure when numerically fitting.

[0005] The patent application with the publication number CN114878921A discloses a method for analyzing the performance change of TSV structure material under total dose effect. The method uses high-frequency structure simulator (HFSS) software to extract the dielectric constant of silicon and silicon dioxide (SiO2) in the through-silicon via (TSV) structure under different irradiation dose conditions, and then predicts the material parameters of the through-silicon via (TSV) structure under any irradiation condition. This method does not consider the influence of total dose (TID) effect on the conductivity of silicon, the dielectric constant and conductivity of the filling material.

[0006] In summary, the existing technology does not comprehensively consider the factors when building the total dose (TID) effect model of the through-silicon via (TSV) and fitting the mathematical relationship between the irradiation dose and the material properties, which fails to reflect the real radiation situation and cannot realize the total dose (TID) effect evaluation of the through-silicon via (TSV) link.

The equivalent circuit topology structure of the through silicon via (TSV) link constructed in this way not only considers the horizontal interconnection of the top redistribution layer (RDL) and the bottom redistribution layer (RDL), but also considers the vertical interconnection of the bump, and the hierarchy is clear, which lays a foundation for determining the calculation equation of the parasitic electrical parameters in the total dose (TID) effect equivalent circuit in step 2;

[0117] Firstly, a through silicon via (TSV) link is designed as shown in Figure 2 , Figure 3Three kinds of through silicon via (TSV) structures are shown, wherein the planar size of structure one is 1800 μm x 1075 μm, and the planar size of structure two and structure three is 2295 μm x 1075 μm. The bottom layer of the three kinds of through silicon via (TSV) structures is a first epoxy molding compound (EMC) layer 15; a first polyimide (PI) layer 14 is covered on the first epoxy molding compound (EMC) layer 15; the bottom layer is a bottom layer ground redistribution layer (RDL) 10 and a bottom layer signal redistribution layer (RDL) 11 above the polyimide (PI) layer 14, and the bottom layer ground redistribution layer (RDL) 10 and the bottom layer signal redistribution layer (RDL) 11 are isolated by a bottom layer oxide isolation layer 12; a second epoxy molding compound (EMC) layer 13 is above the bottom layer redistribution layer (RDL), and a silicon substrate layer 9 is embedded in the second epoxy molding compound (EMC) layer 13, wherein one silicon substrate layer 9 is embedded in structure one, two silicon substrate layers 9 are embedded in structure two and structure three, two signal through silicon vias (TSV) 1 and a plurality of ground through silicon vias (TSV) 2 are arranged in the silicon substrate layer 9, a silicon dioxide layer 4 is arranged around the signal through silicon via (TSV) 1 and the ground through silicon via (TSV) 2, a top layer ground redistribution layer (RDL) 3 and a top layer signal redistribution layer (RDL) 7 are above the second epoxy molding compound (EMC) layer, and the top layer ground redistribution layer (RDL) 3 and the top layer signal redistribution layer (RDL) 7 are isolated by a top layer oxide isolation layer 8; a bump 6 is arranged between each signal through silicon via (TSV) 1 and ground through silicon via (TSV) 2 and the top layer signal redistribution layer (RDL) 7 and the top layer ground redistribution layer (RDL) 3; and a second polyimide (PI) layer 5 is arranged around the top layer ground redistribution layer (RDL).

[0118] The difference between the three kinds of through silicon via (TSV) structures is that structure one contains one silicon substrate layer 9, so that the filling material between the two signal through silicon vias (TSV) 1 is the silicon substrate layer 9, and structure two and structure three contain two silicon substrate layers 9, so that the filling material between the two signal through silicon vias (TSV) 1 is the second epoxy molding compound (EMC) layer 13. In addition, structure one contains 6 ground through silicon vias (TSV) 2, and structure two and structure three contain 12 ground through silicon vias (TSV) 2. The center distance between the two signal through silicon vias (TSV) 1 in structure one and structure three is 500 μm, and the center distance between the two signal through silicon vias (TSV) 1 in structure two is 1000 μm.

[0119] According to the design of the three kinds of TSV structures as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 , a general equivalent circuit topology structure of the three kinds of TSV links is constructed, and the following is achieved:

[0176] Step 3: To verify the total dose (TID) effect equivalent circuit model under normal conditions, and to provide a prerequisite for optimizing the design in ADS in Step 4 to extract the values ​​of parasitic electrical parameters under total dose (TID) radiation, the values ​​of parasitic electrical parameters under normal conditions are calculated using the calculation equations determined in Step 2. The calculated values ​​of parasitic electrical parameters are then substituted into the complete total dose (TID) effect equivalent circuit topology constructed in Step 1 to obtain the total dose (TID) effect equivalent circuit model. The total dose (TID) effect equivalent circuit model is then simulated to obtain S-parameters. When the average relative error between the simulated S-parameters and the actual measured S-parameters under normal conditions is less than or equal to the expected value Error, the total dose (TID) effect equivalent circuit model is usable, and Step 4 is continued.

[0177] The physical size and material properties of the through-silicon via (TSV) link are substituted into the calculation equation in step 2 to obtain the values of the electrical parameters under normal conditions, the total dose (TID) effect equivalent circuit topology in step 1 is constructed in the ADS software, and the calculated electrical parameters are substituted into the total dose (TID) effect equivalent circuit topology to start simulation;

[0178] The simulation obtained S parameters are viewed in the simulation results of the ADS software, and the results are saved, the simulation obtained S parameters and the actually measured S parameters are plotted as shown in Figure 7 The average relative error of the simulation results and the actual results of the S parameters in the entire frequency range is calculated, Figure 7 The average relative deviation of the simulation obtained S parameters and the test measured S parameters in the entire frequency range is: 22.9% for structure one, 27.8% for structure two, and 15.9% for structure three, all less than the expected value 50%;

[0179] If the average relative error is less than or equal to the expected value Error, the total dose (TID) effect equivalent circuit model is qualified under normal conditions, and can be used for subsequent operations, and step 4 is performed;

[0180] If the average relative error is greater than the expected value Error, the total dose (TID) effect equivalent circuit model is unqualified under normal conditions, and the total dose (TID) effect equivalent circuit topology and the electrical parameter calculation equation need to be adjusted according to the specific through-silicon via (TSV) link structure.

[0181] Step 4: The total dose (TID) effect equivalent circuit model has been verified under normal conditions in step 3, however, the parasitic electrical parameters in the equivalent circuit will change under the influence of total dose (TID) radiation, and there is no fixed equation to accurately calculate these change values. In order to quantitatively analyze the influence of total dose (TID) radiation on the electrical parameters of the through-silicon via (TSV) channel, the optimization design of the total dose (TID) effect equivalent circuit model is implemented in the ADS software, the S parameters corresponding to each radiation dose actually measured are taken as the optimization target, and the optimization algorithm built in the ADS software is used to iteratively adjust the parasitic electrical parameters in the total dose (TID) effect equivalent circuit, so that the difference between the simulation S parameters of the total dose (TID) effect equivalent circuit and the actually measured S parameters is minimized;

[0182] The total dose (TID) effect equivalent circuit topology established in step 1 is built in the ADS software, as shown in Figure 8As shown, the control "DataAccessComponent" 16, "S-PARAMETERS" 17, "OPTIM" 18 and "GOAL" 19 are added, the S parameter files measured at each dose point are read in the control "DataAccessComponent" 16, the start and end frequencies and step length of the S parameters are set in the control "S-PARAMETERS" 17, the optimization algorithm and iteration number are set in the control "OPTIM" 19, and the difference between the S parameters measured in the experiment and the S parameters obtained by simulation of the equivalent circuit is set as the optimization target in the control "GOAL" 18.

[0183] Step 5: Perform the optimization design in step 4, extract the parasitic electrical parameters in the equivalent circuit of total ionizing dose (TID) effect under each radiation dose condition, draw the curve of the parasitic electrical parameters changing with the radiation dose, and obtain the change of the parasitic electrical parameters in the through silicon via (TSV) link under the total ionizing dose (TID) radiation condition.

[0184] The S parameter files actually measured under each radiation dose condition are loaded in the control "DataAccessComponent" 16 added in step 4, the optimization design is performed, the parasitic electrical parameters under each radiation dose condition are obtained, and the curve of each parasitic electrical parameter changing with the radiation dose is drawn in the Matlab software, as shown in Figure 9 , Figure 10 , Figure 11 , Figure 12 The S parameters under four dose points of 0krad(Si), 60krad(Si), 120krad(Si) and 180krad(Si) are measured in the experiment, wherein 0krad(Si) is the normal condition.

[0185] The measurement results show that the silicon substrate capacitance, silicon substrate resistance, crosstalk capacitance, crosstalk resistance, top redistribution layer (RDL) capacitance, bottom redistribution layer (RDL) capacitance, filling material capacitance, through silicon via (TSV) inductance, top redistribution layer (RDL) inductance, bottom redistribution layer (RDL) inductance, oxide layer capacitance and bump capacitance of the through silicon via (TSV) link changing with the radiation dose can be obtained by using the present application, which lays a data foundation for extracting the change equation of the material properties with the radiation dose.

[0186] Step 6: All parasitic electrical parameters in the total dose (TID) effect equivalent circuit of the through silicon via (TSV) link have the size parameters of the through silicon via (TSV) radius, through silicon via (TSV) height or through silicon via (TSV) pitch, and the material parameters of relative permittivity and conductivity, and the total dose (TID) radiation generally does not cause mechanical stress, so the through silicon via (TSV) size parameters do not change, and only the material properties change; therefore, based on the change curves of the parasitic electrical parameters with the radiation dose drawn in step 5, according to the calculation equations of the parasitic electrical parameters determined in step 2, the material property values of the through silicon via (TSV) link under each radiation dose condition are extracted, and a polynomial fitting is used to obtain the equation of the change of the material property value with the radiation dose;

[0187] According to the parasitic electrical parameters in the total dose (TID) effect equivalent circuit under each radiation dose condition extracted in step 5, combined with the calculation equations of the parasitic electrical parameters determined in step 2, the material property values in the calculation equations of the parasitic electrical parameters are inversely deduced, to obtain the material property values under each radiation dose condition, and a polynomial fitting method is used in the Matlab software to obtain the equation of the change of the material property with the radiation dose, as shown in Figure 13 and Figure 14

[0188] Relative permittivity of the silicon substrate: ε Si = 2.569 × 10 -6 dose 2 + 2.858 × 10 -4 dose + 11.9;

[0189] Conductivity of the silicon substrate: σ Si = -1.389 × 10 -6 dose 2 - 1.217 × 10 -3 dose + 10;

[0190] Relative permittivity of the filling material: ε fill = 4.861 × 10 -6 dose 2 + 4.417 × 10 -4 dose + 3.7;

[0191] Relative permittivity of the oxide layer: ε ox = 1.73 × 10 -5 dose 2 + 2.458 × 10 -3 dose + 4;

[0192] Conductivity of the filling material: σ fill = -6.944 × 10 -11 dose 2 ​-1.858 x 10 -7 dose+0.1;

[0193] wherein dose is the radiation dose, ε Si is the relative permittivity of the silicon substrate, σ Si is the conductivity of the silicon substrate, ε fill is the relative permittivity of the filling material, ε ox is the relative permittivity of the oxide layer, σ fill is the conductivity of the filling material.

[0194] The above calculation results show that: through the present application, five material properties, i.e. the relative permittivity of the silicon substrate, the conductivity of the silicon substrate, the relative permittivity of the filling material, the relative permittivity of the oxide layer and the conductivity of the filling material, can be obtained as a polynomial equation varying with the radiation dose. This provides guarantee for calculating the value of the parasitic electrical parameter in the total dose (TID) effect equivalent circuit of the through silicon via (TSV) link at any radiation dose point, and further predicting the S parameter of the through silicon via (TSV) at any radiation dose point, and fills the technical blank of the calculation of the parasitic electrical parameter in the equivalent circuit under the influence of the total dose (TID) radiation;

[0195] Step 7: substituting the equation of the material property value varying with the radiation dose obtained in step 6 into the parasitic electrical parameter calculation equation determined in step 2, constructing the parasitic electrical parameter calculation equation in the equivalent circuit at any radiation dose, simulating the total dose (TID) effect equivalent circuit in the ADS software, and predicting the S parameter of the through silicon via (TSV) link at any radiation dose point.

[0196] Substituting the equation of the material property value varying with the radiation dose obtained in step 6 into the parasitic electrical parameter calculation equation determined in step 2, obtaining the radiation-related parasitic electrical parameter calculation equation, substituting any radiation dose value according to the requirement, calculating the corresponding parasitic electrical parameter and performing simulation, and predicting the S parameter of the through silicon via (TSV) link at any radiation dose point.

[0198] a memory: for storing a computer program for implementing a through silicon via link total dose (TID) effect evaluation method based on an equivalent circuit model;

[0199] a processor: for implementing a through silicon via link total dose (TID) effect evaluation method based on an equivalent circuit model when the computer program is executed.

[0200] The application further provides a computer readable storage medium, which stores a computer program, and the computer program is executed by a processor to implement the steps of the TSV link total dose (TID) effect evaluation method based on an equivalent circuit model.

[0201] In summary, compared with the total dose effect modeling method for microsystem three-dimensional interconnection structure transmission high-frequency signal of CN114595521A, the method of the application not only considers the TSV resistance and oxide layer capacitance, but also considers the silicon substrate capacitance and conductance, the capacitance and inductance of the redistribution layer (RDL), the capacitance and inductance of the bump, and the crosstalk effect between the signal TSVs. In addition, compared with the analysis method for the change of TSV structure material performance caused by total dose effect of CN114878921A, the method of the application not only considers the influence of total dose (TID) radiation on the dielectric constant of silicon and silicon dioxide, but also considers the influence of total dose (TID) radiation on the conductivity of silicon, the dielectric constant and conductivity of the filling material.

[0202] The above is only a specific embodiment of the application, but the protection scope of the application is not limited thereto, and any modification, equivalent replacement and improvement made by those skilled in the art within the technical range disclosed by the application and within the spirit and principle of the application shall be covered within the protection scope of the application.
