Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of semiconductor device heat dissipation structure technology, specifically relating to a semiconductor device with an ultrathin bonding layer embedded heat dissipation structure and its fabrication method. Background Technology

[0002] Gallium nitride (GaN), as a wide-bandgap semiconductor material, is ideal for high-voltage, high-power applications due to its excellent electron mobility and breakdown voltage performance. However, its relatively low thermal conductivity (approximately 130 W / m·K) poses a significant challenge. This thermal characteristic makes it difficult to efficiently transfer heat generated inside the device to the external cooling system, resulting in a severe "self-heating effect." This effect significantly degrades key performance indicators of the device, including saturation current, transconductance, output power, and power-added efficiency (PAE), and in severe cases, can even lead to device failure.

[0003] As gallium nitride microwave power devices evolve towards miniaturization, high power, and high frequency, thermal management has become a core bottleneck restricting their performance improvement—the self-heating effect caused by internal heat accumulation leads to saturation current decay and reduced output power. Current heat dissipation solutions are divided into passive and active modes: passive heat dissipation relies on natural thermodynamic processes (such as heat conduction / convection) and optimizes the thermal path through high thermal conductivity materials or three-dimensional heat sink structures, but is limited by thermodynamic equilibrium and has insufficient heat flux carrying capacity; active heat dissipation, on the other hand, uses external energy to drive forced heat exchange, breaking through the physical limits of passive cooling. For example, microchannel cold plate technology uses a manifold structure to guide the single-phase flow of coolant, which can extract a large amount of heat flux.

[0004] Currently, the manifold structure of microfluidic devices is generally manufactured in separate metal blocks such as copper or copper-tungsten alloys, and connected by a relatively thick intermediate layer. This results in an excessively thick bonding layer, forming a high thermal resistance bottleneck and significantly weakening the intrinsic thermal conductivity of the material. The high-temperature bonding process damages the GaN gate metal structure, leading to a deterioration in device reliability. The thermal expansion coefficient of the metal manifold is more than 3.8 times that of the semiconductor substrate, which easily generates shear stress at high temperature rises, causing channel misalignment and blockage, and reducing the effective cross-sectional area. The phonon spectrum mismatch at the metal-semiconductor interface further reduces heat transfer efficiency, and the difference in thermal expansion coefficients easily leads to thermal stress separation.

[0005] It should be noted that the information disclosed in the background section above is only used to enhance the understanding of the background of the present invention, and therefore may include information that does not constitute prior art known to those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0006] To address the aforementioned problems in the prior art, this invention provides a semiconductor device with an ultrathin bonding layer embedded heat dissipation structure and its fabrication method. The technical problem to be solved by this invention is achieved through the following technical solution: The present invention provides a semiconductor device with an ultrathin bonding layer embedded heat dissipation structure, including a substrate layer and a semiconductor device functional layer located on one side of the substrate layer, wherein the other side of the substrate layer includes a channel region and a non-channel region surrounding the channel region; the channel region has a plurality of parallel microchannels; A manifold structure is provided on the side of the substrate layer away from the functional layer of the semiconductor device. The manifold structure is used to provide an inlet and an outlet for the coolant, so that the coolant can flow through the microchannel to achieve heat dissipation. A first bonding layer is disposed between the manifold structure and the substrate layer; The material of the first bonding layer is any one of silicon, aluminum oxide, aluminum nitride, boron nitride, silicon carbide, aluminum, copper, silver, gold or titanium; and the thickness of the first bonding layer is 5nm to 50nm. The manifold structure is made of semiconductor material.

[0007] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: 1. The manifold structure of the semiconductor device of this invention uses semiconductor materials. Compared with traditional metal manifold structures (copper or copper-tungsten alloy), the thermal expansion coefficient of the semiconductor material naturally matches that of the semiconductor device substrate, avoiding thermal stress separation and thus improving the service life of the semiconductor device. Furthermore, in the semiconductor device provided by this invention, the connection between the substrate (microchannel side) and the manifold structure is bonded using a nano-silicon interlayer (a silicon layer with a thickness of less than 10 nm), significantly reducing interfacial thermal resistance and better utilizing the high thermal conductivity of the semiconductor material, thereby improving the overall heat dissipation efficiency of the structure.

[0008] 2. The method for fabricating a semiconductor device with an ultra-thin bonding layer embedded heat dissipation structure provided by this invention employs low-temperature bonding to prepare a silicon nanolayer as the first bonding layer. On the one hand, the low-temperature bonding process avoids damage to the GaN gate metal structure during high-temperature bonding, which would lead to a deterioration in device reliability. On the other hand, the nanometer-thickness of the first bonding layer is closer to the thermal expansion coefficient of the semiconductor device's substrate layer, avoiding the shear stress generated during large temperature rises caused by the use of thicker bonding layers in the prior art, which leads to channel misalignment and blockage, reducing the effective cross-sectional area, and the thermal stress separation problem easily caused by differences in thermal expansion coefficients.

[0009] 3. This invention manufactures the manifold structure (including the inlet layer, the flow layer, and the support layer) using all-semiconductor materials and combines it with room temperature low-temperature bonding technology, using a silicon interlayer of less than 10 nm. This makes the manifold structure-microchannel an integral semiconductor structure, which significantly reduces the interfacial thermal resistance, effectively utilizes the intrinsic high thermal conductivity of the material, avoids thermal stress peeling, and improves heat dissipation efficiency.

[0016] Example 1 This embodiment provides a semiconductor device with an ultrathin bonding layer embedded heat dissipation structure, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the semiconductor device includes a substrate layer 1 and a semiconductor device functional layer 2 located on one side of the substrate layer 1. The other side of the substrate layer 1 includes a flow channel region and a non-flow channel region surrounding the flow channel region. The flow channel region has multiple parallel microchannels 11. A manifold structure is provided on the side of the substrate layer 1 away from the semiconductor device functional layer 2. The manifold structure provides an inlet and outlet for the coolant, allowing the coolant to flow through the microchannels 11 to achieve heat dissipation. A first bonding layer 6 is provided between the manifold structure and the substrate layer 1. The material of the first bonding layer 6 is any one of silicon (Si), aluminum oxide (Al2O3), aluminum nitride (AlN), boron nitride (BN), silicon carbide (SiC), aluminum (Al), copper (Cu), silver (Ag), gold (Au), or titanium (Ti). The thickness of the first bonding layer 6 is 5nm to 50nm. The material of the manifold structure is a semiconductor material.

[0017] In this embodiment, a manifold structure is fabricated using semiconductor materials. Compared to traditional metal manifolds (copper or copper-tungsten alloy), the thermal expansion coefficient of the semiconductor material naturally matches that of the semiconductor device substrate, avoiding thermal stress separation and improving the lifespan of the semiconductor device. Furthermore, in the semiconductor device provided by this invention, the connection between the substrate layer 1 (microchannel side) and the manifold structure is bonded using a nano-silicon interlayer (thickness less than 10 nm), significantly reducing interfacial thermal resistance and effectively utilizing the high thermal conductivity of the semiconductor material, thereby improving the overall heat dissipation efficiency of the structure.

[0018] For example, the surface roughness of the microchannel 11 is less than 1 nm.

[0019] For example, the ratio of the depth of the microchannel 11 to the thickness of the substrate layer 1 is 1:(1.5~2). That is, the greater the depth of the microchannel 11, the closer it is to the heat source, allowing the coolant to carry away more heat as it passes through, thus improving heat dissipation efficiency. Simultaneously, the substrate layer 1 must retain sufficient thickness to withstand the pressure of the coolant and the mechanical stress of the chip. Thus, within the range of a 1:(1.5~2) ratio of the depth of the microchannel 11 to the thickness of the substrate layer 1, a balance between heat dissipation and support can be achieved.

[0020] For example, the material of substrate 1 includes, but is not limited to, Si, SiC, GaN, diamond or sapphire substrates.

[0021] In one embodiment of the present invention, the manifold structure includes a support layer 5, a third bonding layer 8, a water flow layer 4, a second bonding layer 7, and a water inlet layer 3 stacked sequentially; a first bonding layer 6 is located between the water inlet layer 3 and the substrate layer 1. The water inlet layer 3 includes a first semiconductor substrate, on which an external water inlet 31, an internal water inlet 32, an external water outlet 34, and an internal water outlet 33 are disposed. The external water inlet 31 is used to receive coolant, and the external water outlet 34 is used to discharge coolant; the internal water inlet 32 ​​is connected to the first end of each microchannel 11, and the internal water outlet 33 is connected to the second end of each microchannel 11. The water flow layer 4 includes a second semiconductor substrate, on which an inlet buffer tank 41 and an outlet buffer tank 42 are disposed; the inlet buffer tank 41 is simultaneously connected to the external water inlet 31 and the internal water inlet 32, and the outlet buffer tank 42 is simultaneously connected to the external water outlet 34 and the internal water outlet 33. The support layer 5 includes a third semiconductor substrate, which supports the manifold structure. Thus, as... Figure 1 The circulation diagram shown shows that coolant (e.g., water) flows in from the outer inlet 31, diffuses and buffers in the inlet buffer tank 41, and then enters the first end of each microchannel 11 through the inner inlet 32. After heat exchange in the microchannel 11, the coolant flows out from the second end of each microchannel 11, passes through the inner outlet 33 to the outlet buffer tank 42 for diffusion and buffering, and is then discharged from the outer outlet 34.

[0022] In one example, the outer inlet 31 and the outer outlet 34 are cylindrical holes; the inner inlet 32 ​​and the inner outlet 33 are rectangular holes. The inner inlet 32 ​​is connected to the first end of all microchannels 11, so that water in the inlet buffer tank 41 can enter each microchannel 11; the inner outlet 33 is connected to the second end of all microchannels 11, so that the water after heat exchange in all microchannels 11 can be discharged into the outlet buffer tank 42 in a timely manner.

[0023] In one example, the orthographic projections of the outer inlet 31 and the inner inlet 32 ​​onto the support layer 5 are both within the orthographic projection range of the inlet buffer tank 41 onto the support layer 5, and the size of the inlet buffer tank 41 gradually increases along the extension direction from the orthographic projection of the outer inlet 31 to the orthographic projection of the inner inlet 32. Similarly, the orthographic projections of the outer inlet 34 and the inner outlet 33 onto the support layer 5 are both within the orthographic projection range of the outlet buffer tank 42 onto the support layer 5, and the size of the outlet buffer tank 42 gradually increases along the extension direction from the orthographic projection of the outer inlet 34 to the orthographic projection of the inner outlet 33.

[0024] In one example, both the inlet buffer tank 41 and the outlet buffer tank 42 are disposed through the second semiconductor substrate. In this way, while ensuring that the projected area of ​​the inlet buffer tank 41 and the outlet buffer tank 42 on the support layer 5 remains unchanged, the space of the inlet buffer tank 41 and the outlet buffer tank 42 is increased, which can ensure that there is sufficient diffusion space when water flows through (in or out) and reduce the impact of water flow pressure; at the same time, penetrating the second semiconductor substrate can also simplify the fabrication process of the water flow layer 4.

[0025] In one example, both the second bonding layer 7 and the third bonding layer 8 are selected from any one of silicon, aluminum oxide, aluminum nitride, boron nitride, silicon carbide, aluminum, copper, silver, gold, or titanium, and have a thickness of 5 nm to 50 nm. This allows for compatibility with the manifold structure of semiconductor materials, achieving high thermal conductivity and improving the adaptability of the coefficient of thermal expansion.

[0026] For example, the materials of the first semiconductor substrate, the second semiconductor substrate and the third semiconductor substrate are single crystal silicon or SiC.

[0027] In one example, the surface roughness of the external water inlet 31, the internal water inlet 32, the external water inlet 34, the internal water outlet 33, the water inlet buffer tank 41, and the water outlet buffer tank 42 is all less than 1 nm.

[0028] Example 2 This embodiment provides a method for fabricating a semiconductor device with an embedded heat dissipation structure having an ultrathin bonding layer, the method comprising: S1. Prepare substrate layer 1 and semiconductor device functional layer 2, and form temporary substrate protection layer 21 on the side of semiconductor device functional layer 2 away from substrate layer 1.

[0029] S2 forms multiple parallel microchannels 11 on a preset microchannel region on the side of the substrate away from the semiconductor device functional layer 2, thereby obtaining a semiconductor device with microchannels; wherein, the preset microchannel region is surrounded by a preset non-channel region.

[0030] S3. Obtain a first semiconductor substrate and, using inductively coupled plasma etching (ICP-ED), form an external water inlet 31, an internal water inlet 32, an external water outlet 34, and an internal water outlet 33 penetrating the first semiconductor substrate at predetermined positions to obtain a water inlet layer 3. Obtain a second semiconductor substrate and, using ICP-ED, form a water inlet buffer trench 41 and a water outlet buffer trench 42 penetrating the second semiconductor substrate at predetermined positions to obtain a water flow layer 4. Obtain a third semiconductor substrate as a support layer 5.

[0031] In one example, the materials of the first semiconductor substrate, the second semiconductor substrate, and the third semiconductor substrate are monocrystalline silicon or SiC.

[0032] In one example, the third semiconductor substrate also includes a surface polishing process to a roughness of less than 1 nm.

[0033] S4. A second bonding layer 7 and a third bonding layer 8 are formed by magnetron sputtering. The second bonding layer 7 is located between the water flow layer 4 and the water inlet layer 3 to connect the water flow layer 4 and the water inlet layer 3. The third bonding layer 8 is located between the support layer 5 and the water flow layer 4 to connect the water flow layer 4 and the support layer 5, thus obtaining a manifold structure. The water inlet buffer tank 41 is simultaneously connected to the outer water inlet 31 and the inner water inlet 32, and the water outlet buffer tank 42 is simultaneously connected to the outer water outlet 34 and the inner water outlet 33. In one example, the formation of the second bonding layer 7 and the third bonding layer 8 by magnetron sputtering includes: The bonding surfaces were activated using an argon atomic beam. A sputtering layer is formed on each surface to be bonded using magnetron sputtering, and the sputtering layer is activated using an argon atom beam. The water inlet layer 3, the water flow layer 4, and the support layer 5 are stacked and aligned with each surface to be bonded. At 20-30°C, a pressure of 0.1-20 MPa is applied, and the bonding time is 200-500 s to form the second bonding layer 7 and the third bonding layer 8.

[0034] For example, the material of the sputtered layer is selected from any one of silicon, aluminum oxide, aluminum nitride, boron nitride, silicon carbide, aluminum, copper, silver, gold or titanium.

[0035] S5. A first bonding layer 6 is formed by magnetron sputtering. The first bonding layer 6 is located between the water inlet layer 3 and the substrate layer 1 of the manifold structure, and is used to connect the manifold structure to a semiconductor device with microchannels. The inner water inlet 32 ​​is connected to the first end of each microchannel 11, and the inner water outlet 33 is connected to the second end of each microchannel 11. The outer water inlet 31 is used to receive coolant, and the outer water outlet 34 is used to discharge coolant. The thicknesses of the first bonding layer 6, the second bonding layer 7, and the third bonding layer 8 are all less than 10 nm.

[0036] In one example, forming the first bonding layer 6 via magnetron sputtering includes: The bonding surfaces were activated using an argon atomic beam.

[0037] A sputtering layer is formed on each surface to be bonded using magnetron sputtering, and the sputtering layer is activated using an argon atom beam.

[0038] The water inlet layer 3 of the manifold structure is stacked and aligned with the substrate layer 1 of the semiconductor device with microchannels, and the bonding surfaces are aligned. The first bonding layer 6 is formed by applying a pressure of 0.1 to 20 MPa at 20 to 30°C and a bonding time of 200 to 500 s.

[0039] For example, the material of the sputtered layer is selected from any one of silicon, aluminum oxide, aluminum nitride, boron nitride, silicon carbide, aluminum, copper, silver, gold or titanium.

[0040] S6. Remove the temporary substrate protective layer 21 to obtain a semiconductor device with an ultra-thin bonding layer embedded heat dissipation structure.

[0041] The fabrication method provided in this embodiment uses a low-temperature bonding process to prepare a silicon nanolayer as the first bonding layer 6. On the one hand, the low-temperature bonding process avoids damage to the GaN gate metal structure caused by the high-temperature bonding process, which leads to a deterioration in device reliability. On the other hand, the first bonding layer with a nanometer thickness has a thermal expansion coefficient that is closer to that of the substrate layer 1 of the semiconductor device. This avoids the shear stress generated during the large temperature rise caused by the use of a thicker bonding layer in the prior art, which leads to channel misalignment and blockage, a reduction in effective cross-sectional area, and the problem of thermal stress separation caused by the difference in thermal expansion coefficients. Thus, this invention uses an all-semiconductor material (such as single-crystal silicon or SiC) to fabricate the manifold structure (including the water inlet layer 3, the water flow layer 4, and the support layer 5), and combines it with a room-temperature low-temperature bonding process, using a silicon intermediate layer of less than 10 nm. This makes the manifold structure-microchannel an integral semiconductor structure, which significantly reduces the interfacial thermal resistance, effectively utilizes the intrinsic high thermal conductivity of the material, avoids thermal stress peeling, and improves heat dissipation efficiency.

[0042] Example 3 The following uses a gallium nitride (GaN) device based on a Si substrate as an example to further illustrate the fabrication method of the semiconductor device with an ultrathin bonding layer embedded heat dissipation structure provided by the present invention. The specific steps are as follows: Step 1: Fabrication of substrate layer 1 and semiconductor device functional layer 2 1a) Growing AlGaN / GaN epitaxial structures on Si substrates using MOCVD An AlGaN / GaN epitaxial structure was grown on a silicon substrate using MOCVD.

[0060] Next, the sample is placed in a lithography machine to expose the photoresist in the gate trench area.

[0061] Finally, the exposed sample is placed in the developer to remove the photoresist in the grid trench area, and then rinsed with ultrapure water and dried with nitrogen.

[0067] Afterwards, the sample with the completed coating and spin coating is placed in a photolithography machine to expose the photoresist in the gate electrode area.

[0068] Finally, the exposed sample is placed in the developer to remove the photoresist and stripper in the gate electrode area, and then rinsed with ultrapure water and dried with nitrogen to obtain a sample with a gate electrode photolithography pattern.

[0069] 1j) Evaporating the gate electrode on the photoresist within and outside the gate electrode region. First, the sample with the gate electrode photolithography pattern obtained in step 1i) is placed in a plasma resist remover for bottom film treatment, which takes 5 minutes.

[0070] Then, the sample is placed in the electron beam evaporation stage, and the vacuum degree of the reaction chamber of the electron beam evaporation stage reaches 2×10⁻⁶. -6 After Torr, gate metal is evaporated on the photoresist within and outside the gate electrode region.
