Problems solved by technology

Once the hole 13 appears inside the conductive column 12, the resistance of the TSV will increase, the electrical conductivity will decrease, the electrical connection performance will be poor, and even electromigration and stress migration will occur, which will lead to a decrease in the reliability of the TSV.
[0006] Although it has been proposed to increase the opening of the through-hole during the formation of the through-silicon via to facilitate the filling of copper or tungsten, the effect is not satisfactory, and increasing the opening of the through-hole will also lead to a decrease in the surface area of ​​the chip.
[0007] To this end, a new TSV technology is needed to avoid the problem of holes inside the conductive pillars in TSVs

Embodiment Construction

[0027] In the existing method, copper or tungsten is usually used for filling in the process of forming the through-silicon vias.

[0028] When copper filling is used, electroplating copper is usually used. With the decrease of the width of the through-hole and the increase of the depth of the through-hole in the through-silicon via, the bottom area of ​​the through-hole decreases, and the bottom of the through-hole is concave, which leads to the increase of the resistance at the bottom of the through-hole, and even the appearance of a through-hole The bottom resistance is greater than the side resistance of the through hole. Therefore, during the copper electroplating process, the copper deposition rate on the side of the through hole is greater than the copper deposition rate at the bottom of the through hole, resulting in holes in the formed copper pillars.

[0029] When tungsten is used for filling, chemical vapor deposition of metal organic compounds is usually adopted, a...

Abstract

Provided are a through-silicon via and a forming method thereof. The forming method of the through-silicon via comprises the following steps: a semiconductor substrate is provided, wherein the semiconductor substrate has a through via, and the surface of the through via is coated with an insulating layer; and the through via is filled with silicon germanium. By making use of good filling capacity of silicon germanium and filling the through via with silicon germanium, a formed conductive column has no hole inside. Therefore, a through-silicon via formed by the method has stable performance and high reliability.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of semiconductor technology, in particular to a through-silicon hole and a forming method thereof. Background technique [0002] With the continuous development of semiconductor technology, the feature size of semiconductor devices has become very small. It is becoming more and more difficult to increase the number of semiconductor devices in a two-dimensional packaging structure. Therefore, three-dimensional packaging has become a method that can effectively improve chip integration. degree method. Current three-dimensional packaging includes die stacking based on wire bonding, package stacking and three-dimensional stacking based on through silicon vias (Through Silicon Via, TSV). [0003] The three-dimensional stacking technology based on through-silicon vias has the following three advantages: (1) high-density integration; (2) greatly shortening the length of electrical interconnections, which can well solve the ...
