Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of semiconductor integrated circuit manufacturing, and in particular to a test structure and test method. Background Technology
[0002] In a typical three-dimensional stacked structure, all wafers are of the same type. When performing WAT (Wafer Acceptance Test) on the three-dimensional stacked structure using the Kelvin four-terminal method, the interconnect structure corresponding to one current application terminal and one voltage test terminal of the test structure within each wafer is electrically connected. This results in a first current loop and a voltage test loop being formed between the two current application terminals and the two voltage test terminals of the test structure, respectively, through the interconnect structure within the wafer, the conductive structure under test (such as the conductive structure of the via through the substrate in the wafer), and the redistribution layer between two adjacent wafers. Furthermore, a second current loop is also formed between one current application terminal and one voltage test terminal through the interconnect structure within two adjacent wafers and the redistribution layer between two adjacent wafers. The first current loop and the second current loop are connected in parallel, which introduces test noise (i.e., a portion of the applied current is diverted by the noise resistor), leading to inaccurate test results for the contact resistance of the conductive structure under test.

The connection 32, the second plug switch 56, and the second interconnect switch 58 are electrically connected; in the voltage test circuit, the third interconnect structure 23 in one of the substrates 10 (e.g., the third metal layer M3 closest to the second conductive plug 45 under test in the third interconnect structure 23) is electrically connected to the second conductive plug 45 under test through a third auxiliary interconnect line 33, and the second conductive plug 45 under test is electrically connected to the fourth conductive routing layer 44 in one of the redistribution layers 40 (e.g., the second metal layer M2 closest to the second conductive plug 45 under test in the fourth conductive routing layer 44) through a third interconnect switch 59; the first auxiliary interconnect structure includes the first auxiliary interconnect line 31 and the second auxiliary interconnect line 32, the second auxiliary interconnect structure includes the third auxiliary interconnect line 33, the first conductive switch layer includes the first plug switch 55, the first interconnect switch 57, the second plug switch 56, and the second interconnect switch 58, and the second conductive switch layer includes the third interconnect switch 59.
[0088] like Figure 8As shown, the conductive structure under test includes a second conductive plug 45. The first conductive switch layer and the second conductive switch layer are formed between two adjacent substrates 10. Two redistribution layers 40 are formed between the two adjacent substrates 10. When the first conductive trace layer 41, the second conductive trace layer 42, the third conductive trace layer 43, and the fourth conductive trace layer 44 in one redistribution layer 40 each include at least two second metal layers M2 and a second conductive plug V2 located between adjacent second metal layers M2, the electrical... In the current loop, the second conductive plug V2 closest to the bonding interface in the first conductive trace layer 41 of one of the redistribution layers 40, and the second metal layer M2 at the end away from the bonding interface, are electrically connected to the second conductive plug 45 under test via a first auxiliary interconnect 31, a first plug switch 55, and a first interconnect switch 57. The second conductive plug 45 under test is connected to the second conductive plug V2 closest to the bonding interface in the second conductive trace layer 42 of one of the redistribution layers 40, at the other end of the metal layer M2 closest to the bonding interface. The second metal layers M2 are electrically connected via a second auxiliary interconnect 32, a second plug switch 56, and a second interconnect switch 58. In the voltage test circuit, the second metal layer M2 of the second conductive plug V2 closest to the bonding interface in the third conductive trace layer 43 of one of the redistribution layers 40, away from the bonding interface, is electrically connected to the second conductive plug 45 under test via a third auxiliary interconnect 33. The second conductive plug 45 under test is electrically connected to the second metal layer M2 of the second conductive plug V2 closest to the bonding interface in the fourth conductive trace layer 44 of one of the redistribution layers 40, near the bonding interface, via a third interconnect switch 59. The first auxiliary interconnect structure includes the first auxiliary interconnect 31 and the second auxiliary interconnect 32, the second auxiliary interconnect structure includes the third auxiliary interconnect 33, the first conductive switch layer includes the first plug switch 55, the first interconnect switch 57, the second plug switch 56, and the second interconnect switch 58, and the second conductive switch layer includes the third interconnect switch 59.
[0089] like Figure 12 As shown, the conductive structure under test includes a second conductive plug 45, the first conductive switch layer and the second conductive switch layer are formed between two adjacent substrates 10, and one or two redistribution layers 40 are formed between the two adjacent substrates 10 (e.g., ...). Figure 12As shown), when the first conductive trace layer 41, the second conductive trace layer 42, the third conductive trace layer 43, and the fourth conductive trace layer 44 in one of the redistribution layers 40 are electrically connected to the first interconnect structure 21, the second interconnect structure 22, the third interconnect structure 23, and the fourth interconnect structure 24 in one of the substrates 10 respectively via the second conductive plug V2, in the current loop, the first conductive trace layer 41 in one of the redistribution layers 40 (e.g., the second metal layer M2 closest to the second conductive plug 45 under test in the first conductive trace layer 41) and the second conductive plug 45 under test are electrically connected in sequence via the first interconnect switch 57, the first plug switch 55, and the first auxiliary interconnect 31. The second conductive plug 45 under test and the second conductive trace layer 42 in one of the redistribution layers 40 (e.g., the second metal layer M2 closest to the second conductive plug 45 under test in the second conductive trace layer 42) are connected via the second interconnect switch. 58 Electrical connection; In the voltage test circuit, the third conductive trace layer 43 (e.g., the second metal layer M2 closest to the second conductive plug 45 under test in the third conductive trace layer 43) in one of the redistribution layers 40 is electrically connected to the second conductive plug 45 under test through a third interconnect switch 59, and the second conductive plug 45 under test is electrically connected to the fourth conductive trace layer 44 (e.g., the second metal layer M2 closest to the second conductive plug 45 under test in the fourth conductive trace layer 44) in one of the redistribution layers 40 through a second auxiliary interconnect 32, a second plug switch 56, and a fourth interconnect switch 510; The first auxiliary interconnect structure includes the first auxiliary interconnect 31, the second auxiliary interconnect structure includes the second auxiliary interconnect 32, the first conductive switch layer includes the first plug switch 55, the first interconnect switch 57, and the second interconnect switch 58, and the second conductive switch layer includes the third interconnect switch 59, the second plug switch 56, and the fourth interconnect switch 510.
[0090] Among them, the second conductive plug 45 to be tested, the second conductive plug V2, the first plug switch 55, and the second plug switch 56 are located on the same layer; in Figure 7 , Figure 9 and Figure 12 In the illustrated embodiment, the first auxiliary interconnect 31, the second auxiliary interconnect 32, and the third auxiliary interconnect 33 are located on the same layer as the third metal layer M3 closest to the second conductive plug 45 under test; Figure 8In the illustrated embodiment, the first auxiliary interconnect 31, the second auxiliary interconnect 32, and the third auxiliary interconnect 33 are located on the same layer as the second metal layer M2 at the end of the second conductive plug V2 closest to the bonding interface that is furthest from the bonding interface; Figure 7 , Figure 9 and Figure 12 In the illustrated embodiment, the first interconnect switch 57, the second interconnect switch 58, the third interconnect switch 59, and the fourth interconnect switch 510 are located on the same layer as the second metal layer M2 closest to the second conductive plug 45 under test; Figure 8 In the embodiment shown, the first interconnect switch 57, the second interconnect switch 58, and the third interconnect switch 59 are located on the same layer as the second metal layer M2 at the end of the second conductive plug V2 closest to the bonding interface.
[0091] In one embodiment, the first conductive switch layer and the second conductive switch layer are formed in any of the substrates 10, between any two adjacent substrates 10, and on one or two sides of the at least two stacked substrates 10, so that the contact resistance of the conductive structure under test in any of the substrates 10 or between any two adjacent substrates 10 can be tested; when it is necessary to monitor the contact resistance of any one or more of the conductive structures under test, it can be achieved by setting the first conductive switch layer and the second conductive switch layer in the substrate 10 where the conductive structure under test whose contact resistance needs to be monitored is located and / or on the front or back of the substrate 10.
[0092] by Figure 13 Taking the test structure shown as an example, from the first substrate 10 to the nth (n is greater than or equal to 5) substrate 10 from top to bottom, only the third substrate 10 and the space between the third and fourth substrates 10 have the first conductive switch layer and the second conductive switch layer formed. The first conductive switch layer includes the first through-hole conductive structure switch 53, the first interconnect switch 57, the second through-hole conductive structure switch 54, and the second interconnect switch 58. The second conductive switch layer includes the third interconnect switch 59. The other substrates 10 do not have the first conductive switch layer and the second conductive switch layer formed between them and other adjacent substrates 10. This allows the contact resistance of the through-hole conductive structure 26 under test in the third substrate 10 to be tested to be tested, and the other substrates 10 do not affect the test result of the contact resistance of the through-hole conductive structure 26 under test in the third substrate 10.
[0093] When the first conductive switch layer and the second conductive switch layer are formed between any two adjacent substrates 10 or on one side of the at least two stacked substrates 10, the test of the conductive structure to be monitored for contact resistance can be achieved simply by adjusting the wiring design between any two adjacent substrates 10 or on one side of the at least two stacked substrates 10, without modifying the structural design of the substrate 10 itself, thus avoiding affecting the structure of the substrate 10 itself; when the first conductive switch layer and the second conductive switch layer are formed in any of the substrates 10, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 10 and Figure 13 As shown, only the first through-hole conductive structure switch 53 and the second through-hole conductive structure switch 54, which are located on the same layer as the through-hole conductive structure 26 to be tested, need to be added to the substrate 10, which has a very small impact on the structure of the substrate 10 itself.
[0094] One embodiment of the present invention provides a testing method, see below. Figure 18 , Figure 18 This is a flowchart of a testing method according to an embodiment of the present invention, the testing method comprising:
[0095] Step S1: Provide a test structure, the test structure including:
[0096] At least two stacked substrates of the same type, wherein a first interconnect structure, a second interconnect structure, a third interconnect structure and a fourth interconnect structure that are phase-insulated are formed in the substrates;
[0097] A first auxiliary interconnect structure and a second auxiliary interconnect structure are formed in the substrate or between two adjacent substrates;
[0098] A redistribution layer is formed between two adjacent substrates or on one side of the at least two stacked substrates. The redistribution layer includes a first conductive trace layer, a second conductive trace layer, a third conductive trace layer, and a fourth conductive trace layer that are electrically connected to the first interconnect structure, the second interconnect structure, the third interconnect structure, and the fourth interconnect structure, respectively.
[0099] The conductive structure to be tested is formed in the substrate or between two adjacent substrates;
[0100] The first conductive switch layer and the second conductive switch layer are formed in the substrate, between two adjacent substrates, and on one or both of the at least two stacked substrates.
[0101] The test structure in step S1 is described in the above-described embodiment of the test structure, and will not be repeated here.
[0102] Step S2: Apply current between the first interconnect structure and the second interconnect structure, and test the voltage between the third interconnect structure and the fourth interconnect structure. A current loop is formed between the first interconnect structure and the second interconnect structure through the first auxiliary interconnect structure, the conductive structure under test, the first conductive switch layer, and the first conductive trace layer and / or the second conductive trace layer. A voltage test loop is formed between the third interconnect structure and the fourth interconnect structure through the second auxiliary interconnect structure, the conductive structure under test, the second conductive switch layer, and the third conductive trace layer and / or the fourth conductive trace layer, in order to obtain the contact resistance of the conductive structure under test.
[0103] In one embodiment, the first interconnect structure is connected to the current and the second interconnect structure is grounded. The voltage between the third interconnect structure and the fourth interconnect structure is tested, and the voltage is divided by the current to obtain the contact resistance of the conductive structure under test.
[0104] In one embodiment, the first conductive switch layer and the second conductive switch layer are formed in one or two of the following: in any of the substrates, between any two adjacent substrates, and on one side of the at least two stacked substrates, to obtain the contact resistance of the conductive structure under test in any of the substrates or between any two adjacent substrates.
[0105] As can be seen from the above, the test structure and test method provided by the present invention include: at least two stacked substrates of the same type, wherein a first interconnect structure, a second interconnect structure, a third interconnect structure, and a fourth interconnect structure are formed in the substrates; a first auxiliary interconnect structure and a second auxiliary interconnect structure are formed in the substrates or between two adjacent substrates; a redistribution layer is formed between two adjacent substrates or on one side of the at least two stacked substrates, wherein the redistribution layer includes a first conductive trace layer, a second conductive trace layer, a third conductive trace layer, and a fourth conductive trace layer that are electrically connected to the first interconnect structure, the second interconnect structure, the third interconnect structure, and the fourth interconnect structure, respectively; a conductive structure under test is formed in the substrates or between two adjacent substrates; a first conductive switch layer and a second conductive switch layer are formed in the substrates, between two adjacent substrates, and on one side of the at least two stacked substrates. One or two of these conditions are chosen so that, when testing the contact resistance of the conductive structure under test, a current loop is formed between the first interconnect structure and the second interconnect structure through the first auxiliary interconnect structure, the conductive structure under test, the first conductive switch layer, and the first conductive trace layer and / or the second conductive trace layer; and a voltage test loop is formed between the third interconnect structure and the fourth interconnect structure through the second auxiliary interconnect structure, the conductive structure under test, the second conductive switch layer, and the third conductive trace layer and / or the fourth conductive trace layer. That is, only one current loop and one voltage test loop are formed in the test structure. No current loop can be formed between the first interconnect structure and the third interconnect structure, or between the second interconnect structure and the fourth interconnect structure, thus avoiding the introduction of test noise and preventing any impact on the test results of the contact resistance of the conductive structure under test, thereby improving the accuracy of the test results.
