Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the field of semiconductor technology, and in particular to a back-side power supply packaging structure and a preparation method thereof, and an electronic device. Background Art
[0002] Traditional chips use pads on the front side of the chip to connect to the power supply network. However, as the demand for structural miniaturization increases, the front side power supply solution faces many challenges, such as the resource crowding out between the signal network and the power supply network, and because the front side routing needs to pass through 15 to 20 layers of stacked back-end processes, the closer to the device layer, the narrower the line width and through-hole, resulting in IR voltage drop during the downward transmission of electrons, causing power loss. In view of this, backside power supply packaging becomes a possible solution to the above problems. The existing technology "Power Delivery Network PDN Modeling for Backside-PDN Configurations With Buried Power Rails and μTSVs (IEEE Transactions On Electron Devices, Vol. 67, No. 1, January 2020)" provides a backside power supply modeling scheme, which simulates the formation of a backside power supply structure on the back side of a chip with transistors to improve the power transmission performance of the chip power supply. However, this scheme simulates the back-end process in the same wafer. The upper and lower ends of the transistors in the formed wafer structure are both metal layers with a very thin thickness. The mechanical strength of the chip is extremely poor, and subsequent processes such as transportation and packaging cannot be realized, and thus productization and mass production cannot be achieved.

[0039] The following combination Figure 1-4 The back-side power supply packaging structure of the present application is introduced. It can be understood that the back-side power supply packaging structure in the drawings is only a technical solution of an exemplary embodiment of the present application. The back-side power supply packaging structure of the present application may include fewer or more structural features and is not limited to the device structure described in the drawings. Figure 1-4 , which is a cross-sectional view of a back-side power supply packaging structure provided in an embodiment of the present application.
[0040] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the back-side power supply packaging structure of the embodiment of the present application includes a packaging substrate 400, which is used to integrate the chip 100 and the active interposer 200, realize electrical signal transmission and processing, and provide protection, support and heat dissipation for the chip 100 and the active interposer 200. In one example, the packaging substrate 400 is a PCB (Printed Circuit Board).
[0041] The backside power supply package structure further includes a chip 100 , which includes a first substrate layer 101 , a first device layer 102 and a first wiring layer 103 . The first device layer 102 is formed on the front side of the first substrate layer 101 and is electrically connected to the first wiring layer 103 .
[0042] Specifically, the front side of the first substrate layer 101 corresponds to the front side of the chip 100 (eg Figure 1 The back side of the first substrate layer 101 corresponds to the back side of the chip 100 (eg, Figure 1 The first device layer 102 and the first wiring layer 103 are formed on the front side of the chip 100, and a connection is formed between the first substrate layer 101 and the first device layer 102. Exemplarily, the constituent material of the first substrate layer 101 may include, but is not limited to, at least one of the following materials: silicon or doped silicon, silicon-containing semiconductor materials (such as SiGe, SiC, GaAsP, AlInAs, etc.), compound semiconductors (such as III V group compound semiconductor materials (such as GaAs, etc.)), silicon on insulator (Silicon On Insulator, SOI), or other semiconductor materials that can be device substrates.
[0043] In some embodiments, the first substrate layer 101 is a partial wafer area in a thinned first wafer, that is, the first substrate layer 101 is formed by thinning the back side of the first wafer 600. The first substrate layer is formed by thinning for forming and connecting the back power supply structure, thereby reducing the difficulty of penetrating the back power supply structure and the back power supply spacing, thereby reducing the power supply IR voltage drop and power loss, and optimizing the chip power supply efficiency, power supply performance and heat dissipation performance.
[0044] Specifically, the first wafer 600 formed by the chip preparation process has a first initial substrate 601. The thickness of the first initial substrate 601 is relatively thick to facilitate transportation and process processing. The back side is thinned to a preset thickness to obtain a first substrate layer 101, thereby reducing the difficulty of the preparation process of the back power supply structure 300, avoiding wiring blockage problems in the back-end process, and reducing the IR voltage drop and voltage loss of the back power, thereby improving the power supply efficiency, power supply performance and heat dissipation performance.
[0045] In some embodiments, the thickness of the first substrate layer 101 is 100nm-1000nm; it can be understood that the thickness of the first substrate layer 101 can be any point value within the above range, such as the upper limit of the thickness can be 1000nm, 950nm, 900nm, 850nm, 800nm, 750nm, 700nm, etc., the lower limit of the thickness can be 100nm, 150nm, 200nm, 250nm, 300nm, 350nm, etc., and can also be 500nm, 550nm and other intermediate values. In one example, the thickness of the first substrate is preferably 100nm-700nm. The lateral size of the first substrate layer 101 can be selected based on the chip size requirements and is not limited here. By forming the first substrate layer 101 of the above thickness, the mechanical strength requirements of the package are met, while the packaging density is improved and the difficulty of the back-electrical formation process is reduced.
[0046] Specifically, a power rail (BPR) 104 is formed in the first substrate layer 101, which is used to be electrically connected to the back power supply structure 300 and the first device layer 102 to supply power to the devices in the chip 100, including a power rail (such as VDD) connected to the power supply voltage and a ground power rail (such as VSS). The power rail 104 can be prepared before the formation process of the first device layer 102. In an example, the first device 102a includes a transistor, and the power rail 104 can be connected to the source and drain of the transistor through an interconnection structure for power supply connection.
[0047] In some embodiments, reference Figure 1 and 3, one end of the power rail 104 facing the back power supply structure 300 is buried in the first substrate layer 101, that is, the end of the power rail 104 facing the back side of the chip does not expose the back side of the first substrate layer 101. Accordingly, the power rail 104 and the back power supply structure 300 are electrically connected through the interconnection structure. The buried power rail 104 reduces the amount of substrate thinning, ensures the mechanical strength of the chip package and reduces the power rail thickness requirement. In an example, the buried depth of the power rail 104 in the first substrate layer 101 is 50-200nm, preferably 50nm-100nm. Based on the buried depth setting, the depth of the interconnection structure and the corresponding opening between the power rail 104 and the back power supply structure 300 is reduced, thereby reducing the difficulty of preparation and the power supply distance.
[0048] In some other embodiments, reference Figure 2 and 4 The power rail 104 penetrates the first substrate layer 101 and is connected to the back metal layer 301 in the back power supply structure 300, that is, one end of the power rail 104 facing the back side of the chip is exposed to the back side of the first substrate layer 101, and accordingly, the back power supply structure 300 can be directly formed on the power rail 104. The power rail 104 that penetrates the substrate layer reduces the complexity and difficulty of the interconnection process with the back power supply structure 300, further reduces the power supply distance and power supply resistance, and effectively improves the power supply efficiency.
[0049] Optionally, the material constituting the power rail 104 may include, but is not limited to, at least one of the following materials: Ta, Ti, Al, Mo, Cu, Co, W, TiN, TaN, or other suitable conductive materials.
[0050] Specifically, the first device layer includes a first device 102a, and the first device 102a can be an active device, such as a transistor, a diode, etc., or a capacitor, a resistor, etc. In one example, referring to Figure 1-4 , the first device 102a includes a transistor.
[0051] Specifically, the first wiring layer 103 can be used to form electrical connections between the first devices 102a and / or components in the first device layer 102, the electrical connections between the first device layer 102 and the active interposer 200, and the electrical connections with the back power supply structure 300, so that each device and / or component can be operated as needed, perform signal transmission, and realize back-side power supply; wherein the component can be, for example, a gate structure, a source or a drain, etc. A plurality of metal layers stacked in sequence can be formed in the first wiring layer 103, each metal layer includes one or more wires, and some metal layers are arranged horizontally along the xy plane, such as Figure 1-4As shown in FIG. 1 , the first metal layer 103a exposed on the surface of the chip 100 and the third metal layer 103b buried in the chip 100, part of the metal layers are arranged vertically along the z direction to form electrical connections between different metal layers, such as Figure 1-4 The fourth metal layer 103c shown in FIG. 1 , the vertically arranged metal layer can be prepared by metal filling in the formed interconnection line through hole. It can be understood that Figure 1-4 Only a simplified structure of the first wiring layer 103 is shown, which may include more metal layers to achieve electrical connection and signal transmission wiring within the chip 100.
[0052] Optionally, the constituent material of the first wiring layer 103 may include but is not limited to at least one of the following materials: Ta, Ti, Al, Mo, Cu, Co, W, TiN, TaN, or other suitable conductive materials.
[0053] Specifically, the chip 100 may further include a first interlayer dielectric 105 covering the first device 102a, the metal layer and the power rail 104, etc., and is used for isolating different devices, different metal layers and different power rails 104, and one side of the first metal layer 103a is exposed to the surface of the first interlayer dielectric 105.
[0054] Specifically, the first interlayer dielectric 105 is formed of a dielectric material that provides good isolation for the first device 102a, the metal layer or the power rail 104. Optionally, the constituent material of the first interlayer dielectric 105 may include, but is not limited to, at least one of the following materials: silicon oxide, silicon nitride, silicon oxynitride, oxide formed by TEOS, PSG, BPSG, low-k dielectric material, or other suitable dielectric materials, and may be formed by chemical vapor deposition (CVD), atomic layer deposition (ALD) or a combination thereof.
[0055] The back-side power supply packaging structure also includes an active interposer 200, which is located between the packaging substrate 400 and the chip 100 and is bonded to one side of the first device layer 102. The active interposer 200 is formed by a second wafer 700 including an interposer chip 100. The functional components of the packaging structure are formed by bonding the chip 100. Compared with the prior art in which the back-end process is directly performed on the same chip wafer to form a back-side power supply structure, the packaging structure of the present application uses an interposer to bond with the chip 100 and further forms a back-side power supply structure 300, thereby improving the mechanical strength and packaging feasibility of the overall functional components, and avoiding cutting damage, packaging damage or fracture caused by a single wafer being too thin after the back-end process. Specifically, the above-mentioned bonding is bump-free bonding, preferably bonding.
[0056] A second wiring layer 203 electrically connected to the first wiring layer 103 and a first interconnect structure 204 electrically connected to the second wiring layer 203 are formed in the active interposer 200. One end of the first interconnect structure 204 facing the packaging substrate 400 passes through the active interposer 200 and is electrically connected to the packaging substrate 400. An electrical connection is formed among the chip 100, the active interposer 200 and the packaging substrate 400 through the first wiring layer 103, the second wiring layer 203 and the first interconnect structure 204, thereby realizing power supply, signal transmission and system operation.
[0057] Specifically, the active interposer 200 further includes a second substrate layer 201 and a second device layer 202. The second device layer 202 is formed on the front side of the second substrate layer 201 and is electrically connected to the second wiring layer 203. The front side of the second substrate layer 201 corresponds to the front side of the active interposer 200 (eg, Figure 1 The back side of the second substrate layer 201 corresponds to the back side of the active interposer 200 (eg, Figure 1 The second device layer 202 and the second wiring layer 203 are formed on the front side of the active interposer 200, and a connection is formed between the second substrate layer 201 and the second device layer 202. Exemplarily, the constituent material of the second substrate layer 201 may include but is not limited to at least one of the following materials: silicon or doped silicon, silicon-containing semiconductor materials (such as SiGe, SiC, GaAsP, AlInAs, etc.), compound semiconductors (such as III V compound semiconductor materials (such as GaAs, etc.)), silicon on insulator (SOI), or other semiconductor materials that can be device substrates. The chip 100 is bonded to the active interposer 200 with the second substrate layer 201 to achieve packaging, thereby improving the reliability and yield of the packaging process, and facilitating the realization of back-side power supply packaging.
[0058] In some embodiments, the thickness of the second substrate layer 201 is 75-150 μm; it is understandable that the thickness of the second substrate layer 201 can be any point value within the above range, such as the upper limit of the thickness can be 150 μm, 140 μm, 130 μm, 120 μm, etc., the lower limit of the thickness can be 75 μm, 80 μm, 85 μm, 90 μm, etc., and can also be 110 μm, 100 μm and other intermediate values. In one example, the thickness of the second substrate is preferably 75-120 μm. The lateral size of the second substrate layer 201 can be selected based on the chip size requirements and is not limited here. By forming the second substrate layer 201 of the above thickness, the packaging mechanical strength requirements are met while the packaging density is improved and the transmission distance is reduced.
[0059] Specifically, a second device 202a is formed in the second device layer 202. The second device 202a may be an active device, such as a transistor, a diode, etc., or a capacitor, a resistor, etc. In one example, referring to Figure 1-4 , the second device 202a includes a transistor.
[0060] Specifically, the second wiring layer 203 can be used to form electrical connections between the second devices 202a and / or components in the second device layer 202, the electrical connections between the second device layer 202 and the chip 100, and the electrical connections with the back power supply structure 300, so that each device and / or component can be operated as needed, perform signal transmission and realize back-side power supply; wherein the component can be, for example, a gate structure, a source or a drain.

It can be understood that Figure 1-4 Only a simplified structure of the second wiring layer 203 is shown, which may include more metal layers to achieve electrical connection and signal transmission wiring within the active interposer 200 .
[0061] Specifically, the first metal layer 103a in the first wiring layer 103 is exposed to the front side surface of the chip 100, the second metal layer 203a is exposed to the front side surface of the active interposer 200, and the second metal layer 203a is bonded to the first metal layer 103a, and the electrical connection between the first wiring layer 103 and the second wiring layer 203 is formed by bonding, thereby realizing the electrical connection between the chip 100 and the active interposer 200, the back power supply structure 300 and the active interposer 200, and the chip 100 and the package substrate 400. The above bonding is bumpless bonding, preferably bonding.
[0062] Optionally, the constituent material of the second wiring layer 203 may include but is not limited to at least one of the following materials: Ta, Ti, Al, Mo, Cu, Co, W, Ag, Au, TiN, TaN, or other suitable conductive materials.
[0063] Specifically, the chip 100 may also include a second interlayer dielectric 205 covering the second device 202a, the metal layer and the first interconnect structure 204, etc., for isolating different devices, different metal layers and different first interconnect structures 204, and one side of the second metal layer 203a is exposed to the surface of the second interlayer dielectric 205.
[0064] Specifically, the second interlayer dielectric 205 is formed of a dielectric material that provides good isolation for the second device 202a, the metal layer or the first interconnect structure 204. Optionally, the constituent material of the second interlayer dielectric 205 may include, but is not limited to, at least one of the following materials: silicon oxide, silicon nitride, silicon oxynitride, oxide formed by TEOS, PSG, BPSG, low-k dielectric material, or other suitable dielectric materials, which may be formed by CVD, ALD, or a combination thereof.
[0065] Specifically, the first interconnect structure 204 pre-buried in the active interposer 200 is used to electrically connect the package substrate 400 and the second wiring layer 203, and it passes through the second device layer 202 and penetrates the second substrate layer 201. In some embodiments, the first interconnect structure 204 includes a first deep conductive via extending in the z direction and a first conductive structure filled in the first deep conductive via, the first deep conductive via passes through the second device layer 202 and the second substrate layer 201, and is pre-buried in the second wafer 700 for providing the active interposer 200; in one example, the first deep conductive via is a through silicon via (TSV). One end of the first conductive structure is buried in the second interlayer dielectric 205 and extends to the second wiring layer 203, and the other end passes through the second substrate layer 201 and is electrically connected to the package substrate 400, so as to form an electrical connection between the second wiring layer 203 and the package substrate 400, and its constituent material may include but is not limited to at least one of the following materials: Ta, Ti, Al, Mo, Cu, Co, W, Ag, Au, or other suitable conductive materials. In some embodiments, the first interconnect structure 204 also includes a first barrier layer formed on the sidewall of the first deep conductive via to isolate the first conductive structure from the sidewall of the first deep conductive via; the constituent material of the first barrier layer may be an insulating material, such as silicon oxide, silicon oxynitride, etc., and the formation of the first barrier layer can repair edge surface damage formed when etching the second substrate layer 201 and the second interlayer dielectric 205 to form the first deep conductive via, and form electrical isolation.
[0066] The back-side power supply packaging structure also includes a plurality of first bump structures 401 formed between the first interconnect structure 204 and the packaging substrate 400 and arranged at intervals in the xy plane, which are used to connect the packaging substrate 400 and the active interposer 200 and realize electrical connection. The interposer integration and connection are realized based on the first bump structure 401, which can reduce the size of the packaging structure and effectively increase the number of I / O ports.
[0067] Optionally, the material of the first bump structure 401 may include but is not limited to copper, nickel, aluminum, palladium, gold, silver, tin, etc. or a combination of multiple thereof, or other alternative conductive materials.

[0069] The backside power supply packaging structure also includes a filling structure 402 formed between the packaging substrate 400 and the active interposer 200, and the filling structure 402 is used to fill the gap between the packaging substrate 400 and the active interposer 200. Specifically, the filling structure 402 covers the first bump structure 401. The filling structure 402 strengthens the connection between the active interposer 200, the packaging substrate 400, and the first bump structure 401, alleviates the stress concentration problem introduced by the mismatch of the thermal expansion coefficient, and improves the temperature, humidity and impact resistance, improves the packaging reliability and reduces vibration noise.
[0070] Optionally, the constituent material of the filling structure 402 may include an adhesive, which may specifically include but is not limited to at least one of the following materials: epoxy resin, modified epoxy resin, polyimide resin, or other alternative adhesive materials.

[0071] The back-side power supply package structure also includes a plurality of second bump structures 403, which are arranged at intervals on the side of the package substrate 400 away from the active interposer 200, for electrical interconnection between the package substrate 400 and other devices.

Preferably, the material of the second bump structure 403 includes tin. Optionally, the second bump structure 403 may be but is not limited to a ball array, a solder ball or a controlled collapse chip 100 connection, etc.
[0072] The back-side power supply packaging structure further includes a back-side power supply structure 300, which is formed on the back side of the first substrate layer 101 and is electrically connected to the first device layer 102 and the first wiring layer 103. The back-side power supply structure 300 is formed in the back-end process of the packaging structure to supply power to the chip 100, and supplies power to the active interposer 200 through the connection between the first wiring layer 103 and the second wiring layer 203.
[0073] Specifically, the back power supply structure 300 may also include a third interlayer dielectric 304, which at least covers the sidewalls of the back metal layer 301 and its related interconnection structure, etc., and is used for isolation between different back metal layers 301 and different interconnection structures. The third interlayer dielectric 304 is formed of a dielectric material that provides good isolation for the back metal layer 301 or the interconnection structure. Optionally, the constituent material of the third interlayer dielectric 304 may include, but is not limited to, at least one of the following materials: silicon oxide, silicon nitride, silicon oxynitride, oxide formed by TEOS, PSG, BPSG, low-k dielectric material, or other suitable dielectric materials, which may be formed by CVD, ALD, or a combination thereof.
[0074] In some embodiments, reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 The back power supply structure 300 includes a back metal layer 301, and the back metal layer 301 is electrically connected to the first device layer 102 and the first wiring layer 103 through the power rail 104. The power rail 104 serves as a connecting intermediate between the back power supply structure 300 and the first wiring layer 103, and the back power supply structure 300 and the first wiring layer 103 are not directly connected. The power rail 104 is connected between the first device layer 102 and the back power supply structure 300, and between the first wiring layer 103 and the back power supply structure 300. The power rail 104 is electrically connected to the first device 102a, and is electrically connected to the first wiring layer 103 through a fourth interconnect structure 106 pre-formed between the power rail 104 and the first wiring layer 103 and extending in the z direction. The power rail 104 is formed through the front-end process to perform the subsequent back electrical connection between the first device layer 102 and the first wiring layer 103, avoiding the deep conductive via process that penetrates the first substrate layer 101, and reducing the process complexity of the back-end process.
[0075] In one example, refer to Figure 3 , one end of the power rail 104 facing the back power supply structure 300 is buried in the first substrate layer 101, and the back power supply structure 300 also includes a third interconnect structure 303 extending from the back metal layer 301 and extending into the first substrate layer 101 and connected to the power rail 104, which is used to electrically connect the back metal layer 301 and the power rail 104. The third interconnect structure 303 can be formed by at least opening a hole from the back side of the first substrate layer 101 to form a recessed structure, etching a barrier layer to expose the power rail 104 from the back side of the first substrate layer 101, and filling with a conductive material. The third interconnect structure 303 is exposed to the back side of the first substrate layer 101, and a back metal layer 301 is formed thereon to achieve electrical connection. By burying the protection power rail 104, the transport conditions are reduced and the oxidation of the power rail and other problems are avoided. Combined with the setting of the burying depth, the opening depth requirement of the third interconnect structure and the filling cost of the conductive material are reduced, and the reliability and preparation cost of the back power supply are synergistically improved.
[0076] In another example, refer to Figure 4 The power rail 104 passes through the first substrate layer 101 and is connected to the back metal layer 301. The back metal layer 301 is directly formed on the back side of the first substrate layer 101 to connect to the power rail 104 exposed on the back side of the first substrate layer 101 and realize power supply, thereby eliminating the formation process of the third interconnect structure 303, reducing the difficulty and complexity of back power preparation, and reducing the electrical connection distance.
[0077] In some other embodiments, reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The back power supply structure 300 includes a back metal layer 301 and a second interconnect structure 302 extending from the back metal layer 301 and penetrating through the first substrate layer 101 and connected to the first wiring layer 103; the back metal layer 301 is electrically connected to the first device layer 102 through the power rail 104, and is electrically connected to the first wiring layer 103 through the second interconnect structure 302. A power rail 104 electrically connected to the first device 102a is connected between the first device layer 102 and the back power supply structure 300 to realize power supply connection to the first device layer 102, and the second interconnect structure 302 extending in the z direction formed in the back-end process is electrically connected to the first wiring layer 103. The second interconnect structure 302 is formed in the back-end process to realize the back electrical connection of the first wiring layer 103, thereby reducing the network design requirements and occupied volume of the power rail 104 in the front-end process.
[0078] Specifically, the diameter of the second interconnect structure 302 can be 10-200nm. It can be understood that the diameter of the second interconnect structure 302 can be any point value within the above range, such as the upper limit of the diameter can be 200nm, 180nm, 160nm, 140nm, 120nm, 100nm, 80nm, etc., the lower limit of the diameter can be 10nm, 20nm, 30nm, 40nm, etc., and can also be 50μm, 60μm and other intermediate values. In one example, the thickness of the second substrate is preferably 30-80nm. Based on the thinning formation method of the first substrate layer, the opening depth required for the second interconnect structure is reduced, so that its diameter can be miniaturized to the above range, and the opening aperture requirements and metal filling amount are reduced under the premise of ensuring the power supply voltage, thereby improving the preparation efficiency.
[0079] Specifically, the second interconnect structure 302 is formed in the back-end process, which is buried in the third interlayer dielectric 304 and extends to the first substrate layer 101 until it penetrates the first substrate layer 101 and then extends into the first interlayer dielectric 105. In some embodiments, the second interconnect structure 302 includes a second deep conductive via extending in the z direction and a second conductive structure filled in the second deep conductive via, the second deep conductive via passes through the first device layer 102 and the first substrate layer 101 and then extends to the first wiring layer 103, and is formed in the first wafer 600 providing the chip 100; in one example, the second deep conductive via is a through silicon via. One end of the second conductive structure is electrically connected to the back metal layer 301, and the other end passes through the first substrate layer 101 and extends to the first wiring layer 103, which is used to form an electrical connection between the first wiring layer 103 and the back power supply structure 300, and its constituent material may include but is not limited to at least one of the following materials: Ta, Ti, Al, Mo, Cu, Co, W, TiN, TaN, or other suitable conductive materials. In some embodiments, the second interconnect structure 302 further includes a second barrier layer formed on the sidewall of the second deep conductive via, isolating the second conductive structure from the sidewall of the second deep conductive via; the constituent material of the second barrier layer may be an insulating material, such as silicon oxide, silicon oxynitride, etc., and the formation of the second barrier layer can repair the edge surface damage formed when etching the third interlayer dielectric 304, the first substrate layer and the first interlayer dielectric 105 to form the second deep conductive via, and form electrical isolation. It can be understood that the first substrate layer 101 is formed by thinning the back side of the wafer, and the thinner substrate layer thickness significantly reduces the process difficulty of penetrating the first substrate layer 101 when opening the second deep conductive via, and reduces the radial size and depth requirements of the opening, thereby reducing the amount of second conductive material filling, while avoiding the wiring blockage problem caused by the via being too deep, and improving the reliability of back power supply.
[0080] In one example, refer to Figure 1 , one end of the power rail 104 facing the back power supply structure 300 is buried in the first substrate layer 101, and the power rail 104 is electrically connected to the back metal layer 301 through the third interconnect structure 303 formed in the back-end process. Figure 2 The power rail 104 penetrates the first substrate layer 101 and is connected to the back metal layer 301. The back metal layer 301 is directly formed on the back side of the first substrate layer 101 to connect to the power rail 104 exposed to the back side of the first substrate layer 101 and realize power supply.
[0081] The back power supply packaging structure also includes a packaging layer 500 formed on the side of the back power supply structure 300 away from the first substrate layer 101 to achieve the interconnection strength between the back power supply structure and the second substrate layer, and facilitate the transportation and subsequent processes of the intermediate structure during the preparation process.
[0082] The following combination Figure 1-38The following describes a method for preparing a back-side power supply packaging structure provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 5 It is a flow chart of the preparation method of the back-side power supply packaging structure. This specification provides method operation steps such as the embodiments or flow charts, but more or fewer operation steps may be included based on conventional or non-creative labor. The order of steps listed in the embodiments is only one way of executing the order of many steps and does not represent the only execution order. When the actual preparation method is executed, it can be executed in the order of the methods shown in the embodiments or the drawings or in parallel. The preparation method of the back-side power supply packaging structure may include S11-S15:
[0083] S11 : providing a package substrate 400 , a first wafer 600 on which a chip 100 is formed, and a second wafer 700 on which an active interposer 200 is formed.
[0084] refer to Figure 6 and 23 The first wafer 600 can be a logic wafer (such as a central processing unit (CPU), a graphics processing unit (GPU), a system on chip (SoC), an application processor (AP), a microcontroller, an ASIC, an FPGA, etc.), a memory die (such as a dynamic random access memory (DRAM) die, a static random access memory (SRAM) die, a non-volatile memory (NVM), etc.), a radio frequency (RF) wafer, a sensor wafer, a microelectromechanical system (MEMS) wafer, a signal processing wafer (such as a digital signal processing (DSP) wafer, etc.), a front-end wafer (such as an analog front-end (AFE) wafer), etc., or a combination thereof.
[0085] The first wafer 600 may include a plurality of chips 100 that can be cut and formed in subsequent steps, each chip 100 includes a first initial substrate 601, a first device layer 102, and a first wiring layer 103, the first device layer 102 is formed on the front side of the first initial substrate 601 and is electrically connected to the first wiring layer 103; the first initial substrate 601, the first device layer 102, and the first wiring layer 103 of each chip 100 are formed in the first wafer 600 in sequence based on their own processes. It can be understood that in order to ensure that the wafer has the mechanical strength to meet the requirements of the transportation process, it is necessary to ensure that the first initial substrate 601 has a large thickness to avoid problems such as transportation or bonding damage and breakage.
[0086] Specifically, the first wafer 600 has a first surface and a second surface opposite to each other, the first surface corresponds to the front side of the first wafer 600 , and the second surface corresponds to the back side of the first wafer 600 .
[0087] refer to Figure 7The second wafer 700 is an interposer wafer, and is formed with an active interposer 200 for bonding with the front side of the chip 100. The active interposer 200 is formed with an electrically connected second wiring layer 203 and a first interconnect structure 204, and the first interconnect structure 204 penetrates the active interposer 200 toward one end of the package substrate 400, as well as a second device layer 202 including active devices and a second initial substrate 701 for being thinned to form a second substrate layer 201.
[0088] The first interconnect structure 204 including the first deep conductive via, the first conductive structure and the first barrier layer is pre-formed in the second wafer 700, extending from the second wiring layer 203 and passing through the second device layer 202 and then extending into the second initial substrate 701, and is not exposed to the back side of the second initial substrate 701, and is used for subsequent back side thinning and exposure to electrically connect to the packaging substrate 400. In one example, the first deep conductive via can be formed in the second initial substrate 701 by, for example, etching, grinding, laser technology or a combination thereof; then, a dielectric material can be formed in the first deep conductive via by, for example, oxidation technology, and then, a conductive material can be deposited in the first deep conductive via to form a first barrier layer by, for example, chemical vapor deposition (CVD), atomic layer deposition (ALD), physical vapor deposition (PVD), thermal oxidation or a combination thereof, so as to cover the sidewalls and bottom wall of the first deep conductive via; then, a conductive material can be deposited on the first barrier layer by electrochemical plating process, CVD, PVD or a combination thereof to fill the first deep conductive via and form a first conductive structure electrically connected to the second wiring layer 203. Specifically, during the formation process, excess conductive material and the barrier layer may be removed by a process such as chemical mechanical polishing (CMP).
[0089] Optionally, the constituent material of the first barrier layer may include at least one of the following materials: titanium nitride, titanium oxynitride, tantalum nitride, tantalum oxynitride, tungsten nitride, nitride, oxynitride, or other alternative materials.
[0090] Specifically, the second wafer 700 has a third surface and a fourth surface that are opposite to each other. The third surface corresponds to the front side of the second wafer 700 , and the fourth surface corresponds to the back side of the second wafer 700 .
[0091] S12 : bonding the first surface of the first wafer 600 to the second wafer 700 , so that the active interposer 200 is bonded to one side of the first device layer 102 , and the second wiring layer 203 is electrically connected to the first wiring layer 103 .
[0092] The first surface of the front side of the first wafer 600 and the third surface of the front side of the second wafer 700 are connected without bumps, and preferably can be bonded. Figure 8 and 24, the first wafer 600 is bonded to the second wafer 700 by hybrid bonding, the first metal layer 103a exposed on the first surface is bonded to the second metal layer 203a exposed on the third surface, so as to electrically connect the first wiring layer 103 and the second wiring layer 203, and the first interlayer dielectric 105 and the second interlayer dielectric 205 are bonded; the bonding process may include at least pre-bonding and annealing, etc. Specifically, at low temperature, a certain pressure is applied to press the first wafer 600 and the second wafer 700 against each other, so that the first metal layer 103a and the second metal layer 203a form a preliminary bond and the first interlayer dielectric 105 and the second interlayer dielectric 205 form a preliminary bond, and then annealing is performed to improve the bonding strength.
[0093] S13: Thinning the first wafer 600 from the second surface thereof to thin the first initial substrate 601 to the first substrate layer 101. The first wafer 600 may be thinned from the back side thereof to approach or expose the power rail 104 by at least grinding or lapping processes to form the first substrate layer 101 of the chip 100. The thickness of the back side of the first wafer 600 is reduced by thinning, thereby reducing the difficulty and complexity of the electrical connection process between the back power supply structure and the power rail 104 and the first wiring layer 103, and improving the back power transmission and thermal management performance.
[0094] In one example, refer to Fig.16 and 32 The power rail 104 penetrates the first substrate layer 101 and is used to connect with the back metal layer 301 . Accordingly, S13 includes: thinning the second surface of the first wafer 600 to expose the power rail 104 to form the first substrate layer 101 .
[0095] In another example, refer to Fig. 9 and Fig.25 One end of the power rail 104 is buried in the first substrate layer 101 . Accordingly, S13 includes: thinning the second surface of the first wafer 600 to near the power rail 104 to form the first substrate layer 101 .
[0096] S14: forming a back side power supply structure 300 electrically connected to the first device layer 102 and the first wiring layer 103 on the back side of the first substrate layer 101 .
[0097] After the back side of the first wafer 600 is thinned, Fig.10 , 17, 26 and 33, a third interlayer dielectric 304 and a back side power supply structure 300 including a back side metal layer 301 are formed on the surface exposed after thinning, and the back side power supply structure 300 is electrically connected to the first device 102a and the first wiring layer 103, and is coupled to the active interposer 200 and the packaging substrate 400 through the first wiring layer 103 and the second wiring layer 203 to realize back side power supply.
[0098] A power rail 104 is formed in the first substrate layer 101 . In combination with different arrangements of the power rail 104 , the components and the forming process of the back side power supply structure 300 are different.
[0099] In some embodiments, reference Figure 6-22 The first device layer 102 and the first wiring layer 103 are electrically connected to the power rail 104 respectively. The power rail 104 is used as a connecting intermediate between the back power supply structure 300 and the first wiring layer 103 and the back power supply structure 300 and the first device layer 102. The power rail 104 is connected between the first device layer 102 and the back power supply structure 300 and between the first wiring layer 103 and the back power supply structure 300.
[0100] Accordingly, in one example, one end of the power rail 104 is buried in the first substrate layer 101, referring to Figure 6-15 , the back power supply structure 300 can be formed in the following manner:
[0101] S21: forming a recessed structure extending into the first substrate layer 101 and extending to the power rail 104 from the back side of the first substrate layer 101, and filling the recessed structure with a conductive material to form a third interconnection structure 303 connected to the power rail 104, for electrically connecting the back metal layer 301 and the power rail 104;
[0102] S22 : forming a back metal layer 301 electrically connected to the power rail 104 on the back side of the first substrate layer 101 , and the back metal layer 301 is electrically connected to the first device layer 102 and the first wiring layer 103 through the power rail 104 .
[0103] The first substrate layer 101 can be patterned and etched at least by a photolithography process to form a recessed structure, and then a third interconnect structure 303 can be formed by at least filling the recessed structure with a conductive material, and then a back metal layer 301 bonded to the third interconnect structure 303 is formed by dielectric layer deposition, patterning and etching, metal deposition and other techniques; a back metal layer connection is formed based on the embedded power rail 104 and the third interconnect structure 303, thereby reducing the pre-embedded depth requirement of the power rail 104 and the thinning amount of the first wafer 600, and avoiding problems such as exposure contamination and oxidation of the power rail.
[0104] In another example, the power rail 104 runs through the first substrate layer 101, and one end thereof facing the back side of the first substrate layer 101 is exposed outside the back side of the first substrate layer 101, referring to Figure 6 and 16-22, the back power supply structure 300 can be formed in the following manner: a back metal layer 301 electrically connected to the power rail 104 is formed on the back side of the first substrate layer 101, the back metal layer 301 is electrically connected to the first device layer 102 and the first wiring layer 103 respectively through the power rail 104, and the back metal layer 301 connected to the power rail 104 is directly formed on the back side of the first substrate, without the need to open a substrate layer or form an electrical connection intermediate component, thereby reducing the process complexity and the back power supply transmission distance, further reducing IR voltage drop, voltage loss and power consumption.
[0105] In some other embodiments, reference Figure 23-38 The first device layer 102 is electrically connected to the power rail 104 to achieve power supply connection to the first device layer 102 , and the first wiring layer 103 is electrically connected to the back power supply structure 300 through the second interconnect structure 302 .
[0106] Accordingly, in one example, one end of the power rail 104 is buried in the first substrate layer 101, referring to Figure 23-31 , the back power supply structure 300 can be formed in the following manner:
[0107] S41: forming a recessed structure extending into the first substrate layer 101 and extending to the power rail 104 from the back side of the first substrate layer 101, and filling the recessed structure with a conductive material to form a third interconnection structure 303 connected to the power rail 104, for electrically connecting the back metal layer 301 and the power rail 104;
[0108] S42: forming a through hole penetrating the first substrate layer 101 and extending to the first wiring layer 103 from the back side of the first substrate layer 101, and filling the through hole with metal to form a second interconnect structure 302 connected to the first wiring layer 103;
[0109] S43: A back metal layer 301 electrically connected to the power rail 104 and the second interconnect structure 302 is formed on the back side of the first substrate layer 101. The back metal layer 301 is electrically connected to the first device layer 102 through the power rail 104 and to the first wiring layer 103 through the second interconnect structure 302.
[0110] A third interconnect structure 303 extending into the first substrate layer 101 and a second interconnect structure 302 penetrating the first substrate layer 101 and extending to the first wiring layer 103 are formed on the back side of the first substrate layer 101 to improve the electrical connection reliability between the back metal layer 301 and the power rail 104 and the first wiring layer 103.
[0111] In another example, the power rail 104 runs through the first substrate layer 101. Fig.23 , 24 and 32-38, the back power supply structure 300 can be formed in the following manner:
[0112] S31: forming a through hole penetrating the first substrate layer 101 and extending to the first wiring layer 103 from the back side of the first substrate layer 101, and filling the through hole with metal to form a second interconnect structure 302 connected to the first wiring layer 103;
[0113] S32: A back metal layer 301 electrically connected to the power rail 104 and the second interconnect structure 302 is formed on the back side of the first substrate layer 101. The back metal layer 301 is electrically connected to the first device layer 102 through the power rail 104 and to the first wiring layer 103 through the second interconnect structure 302.
[0114] The first substrate layer 101 can be patterned and etched at least by photolithography process to form a through hole, and then the second interconnect structure 302 can be formed by at least filling the through hole with a conductive material, and then the back metal layer 301 connected to the second interconnect structure 302 and the power rail 104 can be formed by dielectric layer deposition, patterning and etching, metal deposition and other technologies; based on the through-type power rail 104 and the second interconnect structure 302, the back metal layer 301, the first device layer 102, and the first wiring layer 103 are electrically connected, the layout requirements and volume occupancy of the power rail 104 are reduced, and at the same time, the electrical connection nodes between the first wiring layer 103 and the back metal layer 301 are reduced, thereby improving the power transmission performance.
[0115] Furthermore, before S15, the preparation method also includes forming a packaging layer 500 on the side of the back power supply structure 300 away from the first substrate layer 101, and the packaging layer 500 is stacked on the side of the back power supply structure 300 away from the first substrate layer 101, for realizing structural plastic sealing, strengthening the interconnection between the back power supply structure 300 and the first substrate layer 101, improving the reliability of the back power supply packaging structure, and enhancing the heat dissipation and shock resistance of the back power supply packaging structure, and reducing signal noise; and because the second substrate layer is thinner after thinning, the mechanical strength of the overall intermediate structure is reduced, the packaging layer 500 can enhance the mechanical strength of the structure to facilitate subsequent transportation, cutting and packaging substrate connection, etc.
[0116] Specifically, the encapsulation layer 500 can be made of a plastic encapsulation material or a flexible encapsulation substrate 400 material, such as but not limited to epoxy molding compound (EMC), Ajinomoto build up film (ABF), polyimide (PI), etc., or other alternative materials that can be cured into layers can be used.
[0117] S15: electrically connecting the first interconnect structure 204 to the packaging substrate 400 to form the backside power supply packaging structure.
[0118] One end of the first interconnect structure 204 facing the package substrate 400 penetrates the active interposer 200 and is electrically connected to the package substrate 400 to achieve electrical connection among the backside power supply structure 300 , the chip 100 , the active interposer 200 and the package substrate 400 .
[0119] In some embodiments, S15 may include the following steps S151-S153:
[0120] S151: forming a substrate attachment structure electrically connected to the first interconnect structure 204 on one side of the second wafer 700 where the first interconnect structure 204 is formed, to obtain a wafer-level packaging structure;
