[0046] Figure 1 This is a flow chart of a method for manufacturing a semiconductor structure according to an embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 , the present application provides a method for manufacturing a semiconductor structure, including steps S01 to S05.
[0047] Step S01, providing a first wafer, the first wafer including a central region and an edge region, the edge region being located around the central region, a metal interconnection layer being formed on the surface of the first wafer, and a portion of the metal interconnection layer located in the edge region having a cavity.
[0048] See Figure 2 In one embodiment, the void A is usually formed during the preparation process of the metal interconnection layer 110 (for example, during the edge cleaning process of the metal interconnection layer 110), and the presence of the void A in the metal interconnection layer 110 will greatly increase the risk of edge cracking in subsequent processes, thereby affecting the yield of the first wafer 100.
[0049] Step S02 , forming a dielectric layer on the metal interconnect layer, wherein the dielectric layer at least fills the voids.
[0050] See Figure 3In one embodiment, by filling the void A with the dielectric layer 120, the quality of the first wafer 100 and each film layer on its surface (including the metal interconnection layer 110 and the dielectric layer 120) can be effectively improved, thereby reducing or avoiding the risk of defects or crystal edge cracking in subsequent planarization and bonding processes.
[0051] In one embodiment, the material of the dielectric layer 120 is an insulating dielectric material. For example, the material of the dielectric layer 120 includes silicon oxide or other oxide materials.
[0052] Step S03 : forming a barrier layer on the dielectric layer, wherein the barrier layer extends to cover the surface and sidewalls of the metal interconnection layer.
[0053] See Figure 4 In one embodiment, the barrier layer 130 comprises nitride-doped silicon carbide (NDC). It should be noted that the barrier layer 130 can reduce or prevent metal diffusion from occurring on the surface of the metal interconnect layer and at the crystal edge (i.e., the portion of the edge region X2 away from the central region X1).
[0054] Step S04 : performing a planarization process to expose the surface of the metal interconnection layer.
[0055] See Figure 5 In one embodiment, portions of dielectric layer 120 and barrier layer 130 located on the surface of metal interconnect layer 110 are removed during the planarization process, thereby exposing the surface of metal interconnect layer 110 for subsequent hybrid bonding. Optionally, a chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) process is used for planarization.
[0056] It should be noted that the planarization process in step S04 removes the dielectric layer 120 and barrier layer 130 located on the upper surface of the metal interconnect layer 110, leaving the remaining dielectric layer 120 and barrier layer 130 flush with the surface of the metal interconnect layer 110. At this point, the remaining dielectric layer 120 and barrier layer 130 are both located at the edge of the first wafer 100 (i.e., the portion of the edge region X2 away from the central region X1). This protects the side edges of the metal interconnect layer 110 (i.e., the portion of the metal interconnect layer 110 near the edge of the first wafer 100) during the subsequent bonding process, thereby improving product yield.
[0057] At the same time, it needs to be further explained that, after the planarization treatment is performed to expose the surface of the metal interconnection layer, the hybrid bonding process performed in the next step will connect the exposed surface of the metal interconnection layer with the metal wiring layer on another wafer. Therefore, the risk of metal diffusion and contamination on the exposed surface of the metal interconnection layer at this time is very small and can be ignored.
[0058] Step S05: performing a hybrid bonding (HB) process on the first wafer.
[0059] The manufacturing method of the above-mentioned semiconductor structure reduces or avoids the risk of crystal edge cracking in subsequent processes by forming a dielectric layer that fills the voids; reduces or avoids the risk of metal diffusion in the metal interconnection layer by forming a barrier layer covering the surface and sidewalls of the metal interconnection layer, and at the same time reduces or avoids the risk of edge collapse or crystal edge cracking of the first wafer, thereby helping to improve the yield of the wafer.
[0060] Continue reading Figure 2 In one embodiment, the metal interconnect layer 110 includes an interlayer dielectric structure 112 and a trench 113 and a through-hole 114 formed in the interlayer dielectric structure 112. The trench 113 and the through-hole 114 are electroplated with a metal material to ensure the normal function of the metal interconnect layer 110. Optionally, the material of the metal interconnect layer 110 includes copper (Cu).
[0061] See Figure 2 In one embodiment, the formation process of the interlayer dielectric structure 112 includes: forming a first dielectric layer 112a on the first wafer 100; performing a planarization process on the first dielectric layer 112a to remove at most a portion of the first dielectric layer 112a to improve the thickness uniformity and surface flatness of the first dielectric layer 112a; forming a dielectric barrier layer 112b on the first dielectric layer 112a; and forming a second dielectric layer 112c on the dielectric barrier layer 112b to form the interlayer dielectric structure 112 including the first dielectric layer 112a, the dielectric barrier layer 112b, and the second dielectric layer 112c.
[0062] In one embodiment, during the planarization process of the first dielectric layer, the thickness of the first dielectric layer reduced is logarithmically related to the total thickness of the first dielectric layer. Optionally, the relationship between the total thickness D of the first dielectric layer and the thickness d of the first dielectric layer reduced is: Optionally, the total thickness of the first dielectric layer before planarization is in the range of 20 kÅ to 30 kÅ, the thickness of the first dielectric layer after thinning is in the range of 5 kÅ to 20 kÅ, and the remaining thickness of the first dielectric layer after planarization is greater than zero and less than or equal to 3 kÅ. Optionally, the thickness of the dielectric barrier layer is 1 kÅ, and the thickness of the second dielectric layer is 2.1 kÅ.
[0063] It should be noted that, during the above-mentioned planarization process of the first dielectric layer, by controlling the thickness of the portion of the first dielectric layer removed during the planarization process, the impact of excessive thickness removed during the planarization process on subsequent photolithography and etching processes can be reduced or avoided. The problem of metal residue that may occur in subsequent process steps can also be reduced or avoided, thereby reducing the probability of abnormal crystal edge bonding.
[0064] In one embodiment, the material of the first dielectric layer is tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS), the material of the dielectric barrier layer is carbon-doped silicon nitride, and the material of the second dielectric layer is silicon oxide. In other embodiments of the present application, the specific structure of the interlayer dielectric structure and the material selection of the different film layers can be adjusted according to actual needs, as long as the interlayer dielectric structure meets the insulation performance and other process requirements of the semiconductor structure. This application does not impose any restrictions on this.
[0065] It should be noted that in the process of forming the above-mentioned interlayer dielectric structure, after forming the first dielectric layer, the first dielectric layer needs to be etched to form trenches and through-holes in the first dielectric layer, and the trenches and through-holes are then filled with metal material through a metal electroplating process. Similarly, after forming the second dielectric layer, the second dielectric layer and the dielectric barrier layer also need to be etched to form trenches and through-holes in the second dielectric layer and the dielectric barrier layer, and the trenches and through-holes are then filled with metal material through a metal electroplating process, thereby forming the interlayer dielectric structure and the metal interconnect layer.
[0066] Continue reading Figure 2 In one embodiment, before forming the dielectric layer 120 on the metal interconnect layer 110, the semiconductor structure manufacturing method further includes: removing a portion of the metal interconnect layer 110 in the edge region X2 away from the central region X1; forming a bonding layer 111 on the metal interconnect layer 110; and removing a portion of the bonding layer 111 in the edge region X2 away from the central region X1. This removes the portion of the metal interconnect layer 110 in the edge region X2 away from the central region X1 to ensure smooth subsequent processes and reduce or avoid the formation of bubbles and defects in subsequent bonding processes. In a radial direction of the first wafer 100, the width D1 of the removed portion of the metal interconnect layer 110 is greater than the width D2 of the removed portion of the bonding layer 111. For example, the width D1 of the removed portion of the metal interconnect layer 110 is, for example, 3.2 mm, and the width D2 of the removed portion of the bonding layer 111 is, for example, 2.4 mm.
[0067] In one embodiment, electroplating edge cleaning (ECP EBR) can be used to remove a portion of the metal interconnect layer 110 in the edge region X2 away from the central region X1. It should be noted that if voids A are generated in the removed portion of the metal interconnect layer 110 during the edge cleaning process, the voids A will be filled with a dielectric layer in subsequent process steps, thereby reducing or even preventing the adverse effects of the voids A on subsequent process steps.
[0068] Continue reading Figure 2 In one embodiment, after forming the first dielectric layer 112a filled with a metal material, the method for manufacturing the semiconductor structure further includes: performing metal electroplating and edge cleaning on the first dielectric layer 112a to remove a portion of the first dielectric layer 112a in the edge region X2 that is away from the central region X1. Accordingly, after forming the second dielectric layer 112c filled with a metal material, the method for manufacturing the semiconductor structure further includes: performing metal electroplating and edge cleaning on the second dielectric layer 112c to remove a portion of the second dielectric layer 112c in the edge region X2 that is away from the central region X1, so that the sidewalls of the second dielectric layer 112c are flush with the sidewalls of the first dielectric layer 112a.
[0069] In one embodiment, after forming the interlayer dielectric structure and the metal interconnect layer, the method for manufacturing the semiconductor structure further includes: performing a trimming process on the first wafer to remove defects or structural anomalies at the edge of the first wafer.
[0070] See Figure 3 In one embodiment, the thickness of dielectric layer 120 ranges from 1 kÅ to 5 kÅ to ensure that voids A in metal interconnect layer 110 are completely filled. Optionally, dielectric layer 120 is formed using a high-density plasma chemical vapor deposition (HDPCVD) process. In other embodiments of the present application, the thickness of dielectric layer 120 and the selection of the preparation process can be adjusted based on the size of voids A in the semiconductor structure during actual manufacturing and other process requirements. It is sufficient to ensure that dielectric layer 120 completely fills voids A, and this application does not impose any restrictions on this.
[0071] See Figure 4 In one embodiment, the thickness of barrier layer 130 ranges from 0.5 kÅ to 2 kÅ to ensure that barrier layer 130 effectively prevents metal diffusion. Furthermore, barrier layer 130 formed on the sidewalls of dielectric layer 120 can also enhance the strength of the portion of metal interconnect layer 110 away from central region X1, reducing or preventing the risk of edge cracking during subsequent fabrication processes.
[0072] In one embodiment, after performing a planarization process to expose the surface of the metal interconnection layer and before performing a hybrid bonding process on the first wafer, the method for manufacturing a semiconductor structure further includes: performing a planarization process on the metal interconnection layer to further improve the surface flatness of the metal interconnection layer so as to perform a subsequent hybrid bonding process and improve the bonding effect.
[0073] See Figure 6 In one embodiment, a hybrid bonding process includes: providing a second wafer 200, wherein a metal wiring layer 210 is formed on the front surface of the second wafer 200; bonding the front surface of the first wafer 100 and the front surface of the second wafer 200 so that the projection of the metal interconnection layer 110 along a direction perpendicular to the surface of the second wafer 200 (i.e., the Y direction) coincides with the projection of the metal wiring layer 210 along a direction perpendicular to the surface of the second wafer 200, thereby connecting the metal wiring layer 210 and the metal interconnection layer 110; and performing an annealing process to enhance the hybrid bonding effect.
[0074] The first wafer 100 and the second wafer 200 are respectively one of a logic wafer and a pixel wafer, and the first wafer 100 and the second wafer 200 are of different types. That is, the first wafer 100 is a logic wafer and the second wafer 200 is a pixel wafer, or the first wafer 100 is a pixel wafer and the second wafer 200 is a logic wafer.
[0075] In one embodiment, after hybrid bonding, the semiconductor structure manufacturing method further includes: performing defect detection on the semiconductor structure obtained after hybrid bonding to improve product yield. Optionally, the defect detection includes inspecting the semiconductor structure after hybrid bonding for the presence of bond bubbles.
[0076] Accordingly, continue to refer to Figure 6 The present application also provides a semiconductor structure manufactured using the semiconductor structure manufacturing method described above. The semiconductor structure manufactured using the semiconductor structure manufacturing method provided in the present application maintains product yield while achieving interconnection between the metal interconnect layer of the first wafer and the metal wiring layer of the second wafer, and reduces or avoids problems such as poor edge bonding during the manufacturing process and edge cracking in subsequent manufacturing processes.
[0077] The unexpected effects of the present application are: by forming a dielectric layer that fills the voids, the risk of crystal edge cracking in subsequent processes is reduced or avoided; by forming a barrier layer covering the surface and sidewalls of the metal interconnection layer, the risk of metal diffusion in the metal interconnection layer is reduced or avoided, and at the same time, the risk of edge collapse or crystal edge cracking of the first wafer is reduced or avoided, thereby helping to improve the yield of the wafer.
