摘要

Wire parasitics are now a commonly acknowledged limitation on integrated circuit performance. Many valuable materials studies strive to implement interconnections in these circuits with low K dielectric constant insulators and low resistivity metals. Even with these innovations though, several studies show that these innovations will simply push out the wiring "brick wall" a few years further into the future. Strategies are needed to continue to move forward once these basic materials innovations have run their course. Architecture is one area for innovation, but optimum layout of a chip or data path to minimize wiring lengths is a challenge that has been studied for many years, and the prospect for a major breakthrough in this area is slight. Some truly innovative changes will be needed. This paper examines one possibility for implementing 3D chips as a strategy for wire length minimization. This technique is called "Face to Face" wafer lamination, a process that is not terribly dissimilar from wafer bonding in SOI. However in this case the two wafers have circuitry on them already with some wiring layers. The two wafer faces are oxide deposited and planarized by CMP. Then the two planarized surfaces are coated with one of several polymer layers, aligned and bonded using a new aligner specially developed for this project. After bonding, the wafer stack is encapsulated in parylene and the back of the top wafer is re-exposed. The back of the top wafer is then dissolved. This is done using a liquid etch to an oxide stop layer. This removes nearly all the silicon from the top wafer leaving only the silicon device layers and multilayer interconnections left behind still glued to the bottom wafer. Deep vias are then etched from the backside of the top thinned wafer layer through to a metal stopping layer on the bottom wafer. These deep vias are then CVD lined and Cu Filled in a two step process which leaves the via still available at the top for further integration or I/O connection. After repeating these steps for all the layers in the stack (up to 4 steps are considered feasible), the wafer stack is then diced. The paper discusses choices of glue layers, examines the quality of seams in between the two layers, thermal stability for this layer, etching and via filling strategies.
