Technical Field

[2]

The invention relates generally to the field of semiconductor device and, more specifically relates to welded to copper-metallized integrated circuits (bond) wire bonding process.

[3]

Background Art

[4]

For over forty years, in the integrated circuit (IC) technology, pure or doped aluminum has become metallized selected interconnection and the weld. The major advantage of the aluminum to facilitate deposition and to form a pattern. Furthermore, the gold, copper or aluminum wire is welded to the aluminum weld zone has been developed to a high degree of automation technology, the level of miniaturization and reliability. # 5,455,195 the authorized 3 October 1995, (Ramsey and others, "used in the integrated circuit conductive welding in method of metallurgical stability"); # 5,244,140 authorized 14 September 1993, (Ramsey and others, "more than 125kHz the ultrasonic welding process of the"); # 5,201,454 authorized 13 April 1993, (Alfaro, and others, "IC interconnect enhanced metallization growth process"); # 5,023,597 authorized and 11 June 1991, (Tsumura, " has the semiconductor device of the copper wire ball bonding) can be found in U.S. patents high technical standards examples of aluminum wire bonding.

[5]

The continuous trend of miniaturization in the IC, the interconnection between active circuit elements increasingly dominates the time constant RC achievable IC speed-power product. As a result, relatively high resistivity of the interconnecting aluminum now look since the low resistivity such as copper, and the like of the metal is poor. Furthermore, aluminum to electromigration is becoming a prominent of the sensitivity of a serious obstacle. As a result, according to the relatively high conductivity of copper electromigration of the low sensitivity, now in the semiconductor industry, there is a the copper is used as a better interconnect material of strong. However, from the mature aluminum interconnection technology point of view, to the copper this change is one of the major technical challenges.

[6]

The copper must be protected, in order to prevent the IC proliferates into of the silicon substrate material, in order to protect the circuit against the copper atoms of the silicon lattice of the carriers in the service life of the impact of the destructive characteristics. The pads made of copper, must be prevented during the manufacturing process flow of forming a thin copper (I) film, this is because these film seriously hamper the reliable welding of welding wire, especially for conventional gold wire ball bonding. Metal with the alumina film of aluminum on the contrary, through hot pressing, and in the course of welding together with ultrasonic energy, is covered on the metal copper on the copper oxide film is not easy to be broken. As further difficulty, bare copper weld zone is easy to be corroded.

[7]

In order to overcome these problems, has disclosed the copper pads on the clean a layer of aluminum on the process, therefore, should be reconstructed by the conventional gold ball bonding, weld on the traditional situation of the aluminum pads. # 5,785,236 the authorized 28 July 1998 in the United States Patent (Cheung and others, "with existing IC wire bonding technology compatible advanced copper interconnect system") describes a suitable welding process. However, the scheme has several shortcomings.

[8]

First of all, the manufacturing cost of the aluminum-high than expected, this is because the process needs to deposit metal, to form a pattern, an additional step of etching and cleaning. Secondly, such a cover must be sufficiently thick, in order to prevent the copper through the cover metal and the diffuser and pollution IC transistor. 3rd, cover the used aluminum is soft, so that it will be subject to the electrical test probe contacts in a plurality of traces of serious damage (marking). Furthermore, the size of the damage has been on the weld zone becomes particularly obvious in the hour, so that the subsequent ball bonding welding is no longer reliably.

[9]

# 60/183 the submitted 18 February 2000, 405, has been disclosed in U.S. Patent application for covering the copper metallization of copper pads of IC the low-cost structure and method. Related to the application of this invention. An urgent need to provide a kind of a wire welded to the covered reliable method of the pads, the method of the manufacturing cost and the greatest extent that might impede the subsequent wire bonding to the metal of the combined control phase diffusion. This welding method should be flexible enough, to be suitable for different IC products clan's and a wide range of the design and process variations. Preferably the shortening the production cycle time and increase the yield of these innovative at the same time, without the need for expensive additional manufacturing equipment.

[10]

Mode of execution

[32]

Figure 1A shown a preferred embodiment of this invention a schematic sectional diagram, the its entire expressed as 100. Integrated circuit (IC) having a copper interconnect metallization, and the penetration of the moisture protection of the outer coating 101 of the covering. In addition the coating is usually 0.5 to 1.0 the thick   m is made of silicon nitride. A window in the outer coating 102, in order to expose the copper metallization 103 part of the. In Figure 1A not shown is buried in the copper and to prevent their diffusion into the lower layer of the various parts of the IC (usually by the tantalum nitride, tantalum silicon nitride, tungsten nitride, tungsten-silicon nitride, titanium, titanium nitride or titanium-tungsten; see Figure 3).

[33]

In Figure 1A in, shown generally only part of the IC of the medium 104. The electrical insulating portion can include not only traditional such as silicon dioxide, plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition of the medium, also includes such as siliceous hydrogen silicontime of half oxane (hydrogen   silsesquioxane), organic polyimide, aerogel and poly-P-xylene with a quite low dielectric constant of the relatively new dielectric material or includes a plasma generating or ozone tetraethyl orthosilicate of the dielectric layer of the oxide of the stack. Because of these material no previous standard insulator so dense and relatively weak mechanically, so usually the copper the following medium to carry out reinforcement. # 60/085 the submitted 18 May 1998, 876, (Saran and others, "is used for reinforcing the semiconductor bonding area in the fine pitch system and method") submitted and 14 July 1998 # 60/092, 961, (Saran, "used for an active integrated circuit welding system and method") can be found in U.S. Patent application for the example.

[34]

Because the copper susceptible to corrosion, even thin, copper (I) film is also difficult to weld, the present invention provides as shown in Figure 1, 2 and 3 shown in the cover exposed copper is formed on the structure and technique. According to the invention, the cover is composed of a stack of layer of metal, its thickness is adjusted to make the stacked satisfy three requirements:

[35]

* Play on the copper cover to the cap against the surface of the spread (the water at this, copper might impede the subsequent wire bonding operation) the role of the barrier layer. In particular, the adjusting of the cover of the selection and thickness of the metal, so as to cover the 250 the lower copper [...] diffusion and does not exist on the barrier metal layer is reduced compared to more than 80%.

[36]

* In order to avoid expensive lithography steps of the technology to manufacture the cover. In particular, the use of non-electrical the skill comes depositing the cover metal layer.

[37]

* The cover has the most outer layer of the metal surface. Specifically, the wedge bonding using the conventional ball bonding (  bonding wedge) and in order to metallurgically a wire and other coupling member is connected to the weld zone.

[38]

As shown in Figure 1B and 2 shown, the wire ball bonding is to use coupling component to produce a better method for electrical connection. Another method is to utilize the wedge-shaped soldering apparatus (bonder) the belt welds (ribbon   bonding). Compared with the wedge bonding, ball bonding performed at a high temperature, is the need to coordinate the material of the present invention and process.

[39]

A process for wire bonding of the bonding area by the IC chip and the chip will be welded to the object is arranged in a heating base and their temperature up to 170 and 300 the only between [...]. Through the heating capillary tube (where the temperature normally in 200 and 500 the within the range of between [...]) lay wire (string) 110 (Figure 1B in), the wire 110 is usually gold, gold-beryllium alloy, other gold alloy, copper, aluminum or its alloy, the diameter of the from the usually 18 to 33 the within the range of   m. The tip of the wire, the use of flame or spark to the free air (  air free) ball. The diameter of the ball usually from about 1.2 to 1.6 the diameter of the wires. To the chip bonding area of the capillaries (Figure 1A of in 102) mobile, the ball is pressed on the pads metallization layer of the cover (Figure 1A and 1B layer 106) on. The combination of the compressive force with the ultrasonic energy generated is formed through a metal inter-diffusion of the firm metallurgical welding. During welding, the temperature range is usually from 150 to the 270 [...]. In Figure 1B in, the form of the representation 111 in the wire ball bonding as the "ball" of the examples of the final shape.

[40]

To this invention, important is the recent technological development for wire bonding has been allowed to form a small and reliable spherical contact and wire loop can be strictly control the shape (  loop wire). Light can be realized 75 and 40 the distance between the ball between the   m. For example, in the United States the Kulicke   Grove Pa cantonal Willow   &   Soffa of computerized welder 8020 or Texas in the United States the Dallas, Texas   SA ABACUS   Instruments found in of these advances. Through the air in a predetermined way mobile computer control of the capillary tube is defined by the shape of the loop. Finally, capillary tube reaches its predetermined destination and the contact of the contacts the object in the weld zone. The trace through the capillary tube, forming a metallurgically of welding needle foot type (stitch   bond), and the metal wire is burnt and release the capillary. Small and reliable contact needle foot type , the transverse dimension of the pin mark is about wire diameter (the exact shape and the capillary tube the shape of the relevant, such as the capillary pipe wall thickness of capillary engram (footprint) and) of 1.5 to 3 times.

[41]

One advantage of this invention is to provide a hard enough to make the welding electrical multi-probe detection used in the fine tip of the needle does not produce the probe traces the surface of the metal cover. When the weld zone area small to such an extent-that at the same time trend-bonding area of the impression of the needle can be used to disrupt the majority of the welding region, by the needle impression tatters soft metal surface on the special difficult to weld.

[42]

According to the invention by a two layer to provide the copper 103 with the metal cover on the:

[43]

Layer 105 is a copper 203 is, sometimes metal layer deposited on the seed crystal (seed) (see Figure 2 and 3) the upper. Layer 105 example is nickel, cobalt, chromium, molybdenum, titanium, tungsten and alloys thereof. These metal nonferrous metal, and can be through an electroless plating to deposit the; however, their poor ability can be welded. In these metals, in the 250 under [...] , is smaller than the diffusion coefficient of copper 1 × 10E-23cm2/s. As a result, these metal into a good copper diffusion barrier layer. Calculate and obtain by diffusion of the diffusion of copper compared to the reduced presence of these layer is more than 80% of the required layer thickness. As an example, the annex listed in the table when the copper in the 250 [...] or 160 the temperature of [...] lower diffuser (diffusion time (min) as parameter) when the layer thickness of the nickel. Generally speaking, from 0.5 to 1.5 the thickness of the barrier layer to   m can be safely meet the copper reduction criterion.

[44]

Layer 106 is located in layer 105 as the outermost layer of the cover; it can be welded, so that it can accept the wire bond 111. Layer 106 examples are gold, platinum, palladium and silver. Furthermore, in the 250 under [...] , these metal with respect to the barrier layer 105 of the metal used in the diffusion coefficient (such as nickel) less than 1 × 10E-14cm2/s. As a result, these metal is layer 105 a good diffusion barrier layer material. Furthermore, the calculated and obtained from the diffusion layer 105 of the proliferation of the metal in the layer does not exist on the 106 compared with the reduction of more than 80% of the required layer thickness. As an example, the annex listed in the table when the nickel in the 250 [...] or 160 the when gold[...] spread on the layer thickness of the, , in order to spread the time (min) as parameter. Generally speaking, the 1.5 or   m the most the thickness of the outer layer can be safely meet the layer 105 the reduction of the diffusion of the metal, standard.

[45]

As another example, the annex listed in the table when the nickel in the 250 [...] or 160 the when arrowhead[...] spread on the layer thickness of the (µm), with diffusion time (min) as parameter. In general, about 0.4 to 1.5 the outermost   m 106 will meet the thickness of the layer 105 the reduction of the diffusion of the metal, standard.

[46]

Combining Figure 4 to describe the electroless plating process. Usually, the plated layer would be in line with the opening of the bonding area (Figure 1A of in 102) size. However, with the protection of reduced thickness for the purposes of bonding area of the outer coating, one or more of the plating layer may non-electrically growth beyond the periphery of an opening. Fig. 2 the schematic shows one example of the layer growth. Protective outer coating 201 have a reduced thickness 201a (for example, 0.5 the   m and is not ordinarily of the 1.0  m). Directly plated on the copper metallization 203 from oxidation of surface 203a of the metal on the seed layer 208 easily within the openings in the outer coating, the barrier layer 205 and a weldable layer 206 over the periphery of the opening. In Figure 2 with 205a and 206a indicating this a cover area; the wire 211 "ball" has no effect on the metallurgical welding, but may affect the minimum distance between adjacent pads.

[47]

Figure 3 the summarized in more detail a preferred embodiment of the invention; the majority of the size range in the picture sign row 1a and 1B, in fig. 4 discussed in electroless plating and other manufacturing process steps. Grade outer coating 301 limits the size of the bonding area of the opening, and the thickness of the cover sufficient to meet IC copper metallization pads 303 of all stack layer. copper pathline 303 embedded refractory metal shield 302 in (for example, tantalum nitride), the metal shield 302 is medium 304 and metal reinforced part 304a surrounded by; its method as mentioned above.

[48]

To directly face the surface of the clean nonoxidation copper 303a of the 1st layer of the cover, that is, a thin seed metal layer 308 (for example, palladium, about 5 to 10 nm thick; another selected as the tin). Directly on the seed metal layer is on the diffusion of copper as a barrier metal layer 305 (for example, nickel). In this barrier layer as a barrier on the top of the diffusion on the barrier metal layer (such as nickel) and, at the same time as the welding of the metallurgy can be the outermost layer of the cover of the metal layer 306 (for example, gold or palladium).

[49]

In Figure 4 used for making detailed in the fig. 3 process for the welding of the currentless hiding. In the protection of the weld zone in the outer coating is in the welding region is exposed after the copper IC metallization, the deposition process of the cover 401 is started; a process sequence is as follows:

[50]

· Step 402: the use of spin-coating technique to the silicon IC is the backside of the wafer. This coating will prevent accidents on the back side of the wafer by the metal deposition.

[51]

· Step 403: typically in the 110 to resist [...] confrontation time period is about 30 to 60 minutes of baking.

[52]

· Step 404: the use of plasma ashing polishing (ashing) process on the exposed copper surface bonding area of about 2 minutes of cleaning.

[53]

· Step 405: through the copper exposed bonding area of the wafer immersed in the sulfuric acid, nitric acid or any other acid in a solution of about 50 to 60 seconds to carry out cleaning.

[54]

· Step 406. : In the overflow rinser for about 100 to 180 seconds.

[55]

· Step 407: the wafers are immersed in the catalytic metal chloride (such as palladium chloride) solution of about 40 to 80 seconds, in order to "activate" the copper surface, a thin metal layer (such as arrowhead) the crystal deposited on the surface of the clean nonoxidation copper.

[56]

· Step 408 : (dump) in the dump rinser for about 100 to 180 seconds.

[57]

· Step 409: electroless plating against copper up-diffusion of the barrier metal layer. If selecting nickel-, is 150 to 180 seconds will deposit of plating between about 0.4 to 0.6 the   m thick nickel.

[58]

· Step 410 : in the dump rinser for about 100 to 180 seconds.

[59]

· Step 411: electroless plating the outermost layer, the outermost layer can be welded and at the same time also provides preparedness on the barrier metal layer below the diffusion barrier layer. If gold or palladium, is 150 to 180 seconds will deposit the plated between about 0.4 to 0.6 the   m thick gold or palladium. Better process the first to use a self-limiting surface metal replacement of the immersion step. If the gold, the 400 to 450 seconds between the deposition of plating is approximately 30 nm thick gold. As the 2nd step thicker metal layer (0.5 to 1.5 the   m thick), the immersion step is automatic catalytic process steps.

[60]

· Step 412 : in the dump rinser for about 100 to 180 seconds.

[61]

· Step 413 : in about 8 to 12 minutes of the protection resist peeling off the back side of the wafer.

[62]

· Step 414: rotating wash and drying for about 6 to 8 minutes.

[63]

The manufacturing technique for the lid bonding area 415 stop.

[64]

The above described process through the ball bonding or wedge bonding to metallurgy manner subsequently to connect the wires or strips.

[65]

Because the barrier metal layer and the hardness of the outer layer is of a more rigid metal as the material of the metal cover, is soft aluminum material and, therefore, of the prior art compared with aluminum metal cover, in the welding step of the present invention with the probe before the electrical measurement states when the outermost layer of the bonding area, will leave substantially no trace of the probe.

[66]
