Definitions
- This disclosure relates to the fabrication of integrated circuit devices, and more particularly, to the fabrication of bump structures in integrated circuit devices.
- Modern integrated circuits are made up of literally millions of active devices such as transistors and capacitors. These devices are initially isolated from each other, but are later interconnected together to form functional circuits.
- Typical interconnect structures include lateral interconnections, such as metal lines (wirings), and vertical interconnections, such as vias and contacts. Interconnections are increasingly determining the limits of performance and the density of modern integrated circuits.
- bond pads are formed and exposed on the surface of the respective chip. Electrical connections are made through bond pads to connect the chip to a package substrate or another die. Bond pads can be used for wire bonding or flip-chip bonding.
- Flip-chip packaging utilizes bumps to establish electrical contact between a chip's I/O pads and the substrate or lead frame of the package.
- a bump actually contains the bump itself and a so-called under bump metallurgy (UBM) located between the bump and an I/O pad.
- UBM under bump metallurgy
- An UBM generally contains an adhesion layer, a barrier layer and a wetting layer, arranged in this order on the I/O pad.
- the bumps themselves are classified as solder bumps, gold bumps, copper pillar bumps and bumps with mixed metals. Recently, copper pillar bump technology is proposed. Instead of using solder bump, the electronic component is connected to a substrate by means of copper pillar bump, which achieves finer pitch with minimum probability of bump bridging, reduces the capacitance load for the circuits and allows the electronic component to perform at higher frequencies.
- the Cu pillar bump flip-chip assembly has the following advantages: (1) better thermal/electric performance, (2) higher current carrying capacity, (3) better resistance to electromigration, thus longer bump life, (4) minimizing molding voids—more consistence gaps between Cu pillar bumps. Also, a lower cost substrate is possible by using Cu-pillar controlled solder spreading, eliminating lead-free teardrop design. However, there are concerns regarding the Intermetallic Compound (IMC) generated between the Cu pillar bump and the solder during annealing. When used with Sn solder material, sufficient Cu diffusion from Cu pillar bump into the solder forms thick IMC such as Cu 6 Sn 5 and Cu 3 Sn through the reaction between the diffused Cu and Sn in the solder.
- IMC Intermetallic Compound
- Thick IMC layers reduce mechanical strength of the Cu pillar bump because the IMC layers are brittle.
- the IMC becomes scallops and spalls off the interface.
- With thicker Sn solder longer annealing process and abundant Cu source make Cu 3 Sn thicker, and also the size of Cu 6 Sn 5 becomes large.
- Total transfer of the ductile solder to harder IMC lowers the shear strength of the structure.
- the IMC formation will cause bump crack or unwanted stress, the thicker IMC also results in poor adhesion.

Description
- The present application claims priority of U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 61/258,393, filed on Nov. 5, 2009, which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
- This disclosure relates to the fabrication of integrated circuit devices, and more particularly, to the fabrication of bump structures in integrated circuit devices.
- Modern integrated circuits are made up of literally millions of active devices such as transistors and capacitors. These devices are initially isolated from each other, but are later interconnected together to form functional circuits. Typical interconnect structures include lateral interconnections, such as metal lines (wirings), and vertical interconnections, such as vias and contacts. Interconnections are increasingly determining the limits of performance and the density of modern integrated circuits. On top of the interconnect structures, bond pads are formed and exposed on the surface of the respective chip. Electrical connections are made through bond pads to connect the chip to a package substrate or another die. Bond pads can be used for wire bonding or flip-chip bonding.
- Flip-chip packaging utilizes bumps to establish electrical contact between a chip's I/O pads and the substrate or lead frame of the package. Structurally, a bump actually contains the bump itself and a so-called under bump metallurgy (UBM) located between the bump and an I/O pad. An UBM generally contains an adhesion layer, a barrier layer and a wetting layer, arranged in this order on the I/O pad. The bumps themselves, based on the material used, are classified as solder bumps, gold bumps, copper pillar bumps and bumps with mixed metals. Recently, copper pillar bump technology is proposed. Instead of using solder bump, the electronic component is connected to a substrate by means of copper pillar bump, which achieves finer pitch with minimum probability of bump bridging, reduces the capacitance load for the circuits and allows the electronic component to perform at higher frequencies.
- The Cu pillar bump flip-chip assembly has the following advantages: (1) better thermal/electric performance, (2) higher current carrying capacity, (3) better resistance to electromigration, thus longer bump life, (4) minimizing molding voids—more consistence gaps between Cu pillar bumps. Also, a lower cost substrate is possible by using Cu-pillar controlled solder spreading, eliminating lead-free teardrop design. However, there are concerns regarding the Intermetallic Compound (IMC) generated between the Cu pillar bump and the solder during annealing. When used with Sn solder material, sufficient Cu diffusion from Cu pillar bump into the solder forms thick IMC such as Cu6Sn5 and Cu3Sn through the reaction between the diffused Cu and Sn in the solder. Thick IMC layers reduce mechanical strength of the Cu pillar bump because the IMC layers are brittle. The IMC becomes scallops and spalls off the interface. With thicker Sn solder, longer annealing process and abundant Cu source make Cu3Sn thicker, and also the size of Cu6Sn5 becomes large. Total transfer of the ductile solder to harder IMC lowers the shear strength of the structure. The IMC formation will cause bump crack or unwanted stress, the thicker IMC also results in poor adhesion.
- The objects, features and advantages of this disclosure will become apparent by referring to the following detailed description of exemplary embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein:

- Reference throughout this specification to “one embodiment” or “an embodiment” means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiment is included in at least one embodiment. Thus, the appearances of the phrases “in one embodiment” or “in an embodiment” in various places throughout this specification are not necessarily all referring to the same embodiment. Furthermore, the particular features, structures, or characteristics may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments. It should be appreciated that the following figures are not drawn to scale; rather, these figures are merely intended for illustration.
- Herein, cross-sectional diagrams of
FIG. 1 toFIG. 4 illustrate an exemplary embodiment of a Cu pillar bump process. At the outset, it is assumed that a pillar or bump is provided comprising copper. This pillar or bump may be applied directly on an electrical pad on a semiconductor chip for a flip chip assembly or other similar application. - In
FIG. 1 , an example of asubstrate 10 used for bump fabrication may comprise a semiconductor substrate as employed in a semiconductor integrated circuit fabrication, and integrated circuits may be formed therein and/or thereupon. The semiconductor substrate is defined to mean any construction comprising semiconductor materials, including, but is not limited to, bulk silicon, a semiconductor wafer, a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) substrate, or a silicon germanium substrate. Other semiconductor materials including group III, group IV, and group V elements may also be used. Thesubstrate 10 may further comprise a plurality of isolation features (not shown), such as shallow trench isolation (STI) features or local oxidation of silicon (LOCOS) features. The isolation features may define and isolate the various microelectronic elements (not shown). Examples of the various microelectronic elements that may be formed in thesubstrate 10 include transistors (e.g., metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistors (MOSFET), complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) transistors, bipolar junction transistors (BJT), high voltage transistors, high frequency transistors, p-channel and/or n-channel field effect transistors (PFETs/NFETs), etc.); resistors; diodes; capacitors; inductors; fuses; and other suitable elements. Various processes are performed to form the various microelectronic elements including deposition, etching, implantation, photolithography, annealing, and other suitable processes. The microelectronic elements are interconnected to form the integrated circuit device, such as a logic device, memory device (e.g., SRAM), RF device, input/output (I/O) device, system-on-chip (SoC) device, combinations thereof, and other suitable types of devices. - The
substrate 10 further includes inter-layer dielectric layers and a metallization structure overlying the integrated circuits. The inter-layer dielectric layers in the metallization structure include low-k dielectric materials, un-doped silicate glass (USG), silicon nitride, silicon oxynitride, or other commonly used materials. The dielectric constants (k value) of the low-k dielectric materials may be less than about 3.9, or less than about 2.8. Metal lines in the metallization structure may be formed of copper or copper alloys. One skilled in the art will realize the formation details of the metallization layers. Acontact region 12 is a top metallization layer formed in a top-level inter-layer dielectric layer, which is a portion of conductive routs and has an exposed surface treated by a planarization process, such as chemical mechanical polishing (CMP), if necessary. Suitable materials for theconductive region 12 may include, but are not limited to, for example copper (Cu), aluminum (Al), AlCu, copper alloy, or other mobile conductive materials. In one embodiment, thecontact region 12 is ametal pad region 12, which may be used in the bonding process to connect the integrated circuits in the respective chip to external features. -
FIG. 1 also illustrates apassivation layer 14 formed on thesubstrate 10 and patterned to form anopening 15 exposing a portion of theconductive region 12 for allowing subsequent post passivation interconnect processes. In one embodiment, thepassivation layer 14 is formed of a non-organic material selected from un-doped silicate glass (USG), silicon nitride, silicon oxynitride, silicon oxide, and combinations thereof. In another embodiment, thepassivation layer 14 is formed of a polymer layer, such as an epoxy, polyimide, benzocyclobutene (BCB), polybenzoxazole (PBO), and the like, although other relatively soft, often organic, dielectric materials can also be used. - A post passivation interconnect (PPI) process is then performed on the
passivation layer 14. Referring toFIG. 1 , layers 16 including an adhesion layer and a seed layer are formed on thepassivation layer 14 to line the sidewalls and bottom of theopening 15. The adhesion layer, also referred to as a glue layer, is blanket formed, covering thepassivation layer 14 and the sidewalls and the bottom ofopening 15. The adhesion layer may include commonly used barrier materials such as titanium, titanium nitride, tantalum, tantalum nitride, and combinations thereof, and can be formed using physical vapor deposition, sputtering, and the like. The adhesion layer helps to improve the adhesion of the subsequently formed copper lines ontopassivation layer 14. The seed layer is blanket formed on the adhesion layer. The materials of the seed layer include copper or copper alloys, and metals such as silver, gold, aluminum, and combinations thereof may also be included. The seed layer may also include aluminum or aluminum alloys. In an embodiment, the seed layer is formed of sputtering. In other embodiments, other commonly used methods such as physical vapor deposition or electroless plating may be used. For clarity, the seed layer and the adhesion layer are shown aslayers 16 in the drawings. - Also, a post passivation interconnect (PPI)
line 18 is formed on thelayers 16 to fill theopening 15. Using a mask and a photolithography process, a conductive material fills theopening 15 of thepassivation layer 14 and the opening of the mask followed by removing the mask and the exposed layers 16. The conductive material formed on thelayers 16 and filling theopening 15 serves as thePPI line 18. ThePPI line 18 may include, but is not limited to, for example copper, aluminum, copper alloy, or other mobile conductive materials. ThePPI line 18 may further include a nickel-containing layer (not shown) on the top a copper-containing layer. The PPI formation methods include plating, electroless plating, sputtering, chemical vapor deposition methods, and the like. ThePPI line 18 connects thecontact region 12 to bump features. ThePPI line 18 may also function as power lines, re-distribution lines (RDL), inductors, capacitors or any passive components. ThePPI line 18 may have a thickness less than about 30 μm, for example between about 2 μm and about 25 μm. Then the exposed portions of thelayers 16 including the adhesion layer and the seed layer are removed. The removal step may include a wet etching process or a dry etching process. In one embodiment, the removal step includes an isotropic wet etching using an ammonia-based acid, which may be a flash etching with a short duration. - Next, a
dielectric layer 20, also referred to as an isolation layer or a passivation layer, is formed on the exposedpassivation layer 14 and thePPI line 18. Thedielectric layer 20 may be formed of dielectric materials such as silicon nitride, silicon carbide, silicon oxynitride or other applicable materials. The formation methods include plasma enhance chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) or other commonly used CVD methods. Apolymer layer 22 is formed on thedielectric layer 16 through the steps of coating, curing, descum and the like. Lithography technology and etching processes such as a dry etch and/or a wet etch process are then performed to pattern thepolymer layer 22, thus anopening 23 is formed to pass through thepolymer layer 22 and expose a portion of thePPI line 18 for allowing subsequent bump process. Thepolymer layer 22, as the name suggests, is formed of a polymer, such as an epoxy, polyimide, benzocyclobutene (BCB), polybenzoxazole (PBO), and the like, although other relatively soft, often organic, dielectric materials can also be used. In one embodiment, thepolymer layer 22 is a polyimide layer. In another embodiment, thepolymer layer 22 is a polybenzoxazole (PBO) layer. Thepolymer layer 22 is soft, and hence has the function of reducing inherent stresses on respective substrate. In addition, thepolymer layer 22 is easily formed to a thickness of tens of microns. - Referring to
FIG. 2 , the formation of an under-bump-metallurgy (UBM)layer 24 that includes a diffusion barrier layer and a seed layer is performed on the resulted structure. TheUBM layer 24 is formed on thepolymer layer 22 and the exposed portion of thePPI line 18, and lines the sidewalls and bottom of theopening 23. The diffusion barrier layer, also referred to as a glue layer, is formed to cover the sidewalls and the bottom of theopening 23. The diffusion barrier layer may be formed of tantalum nitride, although it may also be formed of other materials such as titanium nitride, tantalum, titanium, or the like. The formation methods include physical vapor deposition (PVD) or sputtering. The seed layer may be a copper seed layer formed on the diffusion barrier layer. The seed layer may be formed of copper alloys that include silver, chromium, nickel, tin, gold, and combinations thereof. In one embodiment, theUBM layer 24 includes a diffusion barrier layer formed of Ti and a seed layer formed of Cu. - Next, a
mask layer 26 is provided on theUBM layer 24 and patterned with anopening 27 exposing a portion of theUBM layer 24 for Cu pillar bump formation. In one embodiment, theopening 27 is over theopening 23. In another embodiment, the diameter of theopening 27 is greater or equal to the diameter of theopening 23. Themask layer 26 may be a dry film or a photoresist film. Theopening 27 is then partially or fully filled with a conductive material with solder wettability. In an embodiment, a copper (Cu)layer 28 is formed in theopening 27 to contact theunderlying UBM layer 24. As used throughout this disclosure, the term “copper (Cu) layer” is intended to include substantially a layer including pure elemental copper, copper containing unavoidable impurities, and copper alloys containing minor amounts of elements such as tantalum, indium, tin, zinc, manganese, chromium, titanium, germanium, strontium, platinum, magnesium, aluminum or zirconium. The formation methods may include sputtering, printing, electro plating, electroless plating, and commonly used chemical vapor deposition (CVD) methods. For example, electro-chemical plating (ECP) is carried out to form theCu layer 28. In an exemplary embodiment, the thickness of theCu layer 28 is greater than 30 μm. In another exemplary embodiment, the thickness of theCu layer 28 is greater than 40 μm. For example, theCu layer 28 is of about 40-50 μm thickness, or about 40-70 μm thickness, although the thickness may be greater or smaller. - Next, as shown in
FIG. 3 , themask layer 26 is removed, exposing a portion of theUBM layer 24 outside theCu layer 28. In the case themask layer 26 is a dry film, it may be removed using an alkaline solution. If themask layer 26 is formed of photoresist, it may be removed using acetone, n-methyl pyrrolidone (NMP), dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), aminoethoxy ethanol, and the like. Then the exposed portion of theUBM layer 24 is etched to expose theunderlying polymer layer 22 outside theCu layer 28, thus theUBM layer 24 underlying theCu layer 28 remains. In an exemplary embodiment, the step of removing theUBM layer 24 is a dry etching or a wet etching. For example, an isotropic wet etching (often referred to as flash etching due to its short duration) using an ammonia-based acid is employed.
