Unique nondestructive inline profile metrology of through-Silicon via (TSV) for 3D integrated circuits in production processes such as ultra-deep etching and Cu pillar forming process was introduced. We tried to measure the depth profile of TSVs from X-ray images with a tilted angle by applying model based library method. The fairly good repeatability in critical dimensions (CDs) and the depths (<;100nm, <;200nm respectively) and good correlation in CDs with results from SEM measurement were obtained, and good robustness under low SNR ~2 of the images was confirmed.

We demonstrated atomic layer deposition (ALD) of manganese oxide (MnOx) for Cu capping layer. This process is expected to have not only EM (electro-migration) improvement but also admissibility of surface Cu oxidation. That will provide easy time and atmosphere management after chemical mechanical polishing (CMP). In this study, we confirmed Mn(Ox) coverage on Cu without degradation of leakage current and indication of EM improvement with simple EM test.
我们证明了原子层沉积(ALD)的锰氧化物(MnOx)的铜盖层。该工艺不仅可以提高电迁移性能,而且可以允许表面铜氧化。这将为化学机械抛光(CMP)后的时间和气氛管理提供方便。在这项研究中,我们证实了Mn(Ox)覆盖在Cu上而没有降低泄漏电流,并且通过简单的EM测试表明EM改善。

High aspect ratio through-silicon vias (3 μm diameter by 50 μm depth) have been filled by standard Cu plating process on electroless deposited (ELD) Cu seed layers on conformal liners of Ru or Co. The in-field Cu overburden that was needed to achieve electrochemical fill on the ELD-Cu seed was 600 nm. This is much lower than would have been needed in a conventional scheme with a PVD-Cu seed (of ~ 1500 nm) and, with that, reduces the Cu CMP time. This work shows the feasibility of Cu electroless as deposition technique in a TSV metallization process.
采用标准镀铜工艺,在Ru或Co共形衬里的化学沉积(ELD) Cu种子层上填充了直径为3 μm、深度为50 μm的高纵横比通硅孔,实现电化学填充所需的现场Cu覆盖层为600 nm。这比使用PVD-Cu种子(约1500 nm)的传统方案所需的要低得多,并且减少了Cu CMP时间。本工作表明了化学沉积Cu技术在TSV金属化过程中的可行性。

3D stacked ICs (3D-SIC) are viable alternatives to overcome limitations faced by mobile MPSoC platforms in 2D designs. In this paper, we evaluate 2D-ICs and 3D-SICs (memory-on-logic) at system architecture level for a complex MPSoC platform instantiated for wireless PHY processing (WLAN, LTE). For a 10-core heterogeneous MPSoC instantiation, we compare its implementations as 2D-IC and 3D-SIC (based on Cu-Cu bonding), and for two different level-1 data memory organization and communication bus structure. We also analyse impact of system level choices (memory organization, communication structure) for both 2D and 3D interconnects.

Carbon Nanotube FETs (CNFETs) are excellent candidates for the next generation of high-performance and energy-efficient electronics, as CNFET-based digital circuits are projected to potentially achieve an order of magnitude improvement in energy-delay product at highly scaled technology nodes. This paper presents an overview of the first demonstration of a computer implemented entirely using CNFETs. The CNT computer is capable of performing multitasking: as a demonstration, we perform counting and integer-sorting simultaneously. In addition, we emulate 20 different instructions from the commercial MIPS instruction set to demonstrate the generality of our CNT computer. This is the most complex carbon-based electronic system yet demonstrated. It is a considerable advance because CNTs are prominent among a variety of emerging technologies that are being considered for the next generation of highly energy-efficient electronic systems. In addition to performance and energy benefits, CNFETs also provide a unique opportunity to achieve monolithic three-dimensional (3D) integration through low-temperature CNFET processing. Monolithic 3D integration is an attractive technological option because it enables a very high density of Inter-Layer Vias compared to Through-Silicon Vias. A summary of monolithic 3D CNFET integrated circuit demonstrations will also be given.
碳纳米管场效应管(cnfet)是下一代高性能和节能电子器件的优秀候选者,因为基于cnfet的数字电路有望在高规模技术节点上实现能量延迟产品的数量级改进。本文概述了完全使用cnfet实现的计算机的第一个演示。碳纳米管计算机能够执行多任务:作为演示,我们同时执行计数和整数排序。此外,我们还模拟了来自商业MIPS指令集的20条不同指令,以演示我们的碳纳米管计算机的通用性。这是迄今为止最复杂的碳基电子系统。这是一个相当大的进步,因为碳纳米管在下一代高能效电子系统中正在考虑的各种新兴技术中占有突出地位。除了性能和能源优势外,CNFET还提供了通过低温CNFET加工实现单片三维(3D)集成的独特机会。单片3D集成是一种有吸引力的技术选择,因为与硅通孔相比,它可以实现非常高密度的层间通孔。本文还将对单片三维CNFET集成电路的演示进行总结。

Synergistic effects of moisture and mechanical stress on debond kinetics of underfill epoxies used in semiconductor packaging are increasingly understood, however, the dramatic effect of increasing both temperature and humidity is not well known. We demonstrate a way to quantitatively measure the mechanical and kinetic behavior of an underfill epoxy resin containing a broad range of filler particles. With the introduction of fillers into the bisphenol-F-based resin, the fracture energy at the epoxy/Si interface is largely increased compared to the unfilled epoxy/Si interface. We characterize the cohesive and adhesive properties of each filled epoxy to the adjacent passivated silicon substrate and report on the moisture-assisted debonding kinetics in varying humidity and temperature environments, including accelerated testing conditions.

Reliability of ultra-porous low-k materials for advanced interconnects 用于先进互连的超多孔低k材料的可靠性

Summary form only given. The reliability of new ultra-porous low-k materials is often a fascinating and complex tale involving multiple concepts from material science, electrical and chemical engineering. Pursuing an understanding of reliability for novel low-k materials requires the dissection of fundamental mechanisms and phenomena altering the electrical and physical properties of the dielectric matrix. Failure mechanisms can be categorized into two main groups. Intrinsic failure arises from damage to the dielectric matrix due to the transport of charge carriers. Ion catalyzed failure results from the drift of ionic species originating from the metal/dielectric interface. Integration of sub-20nm process technology nodes can be radically advanced by resolving how major failure mechanisms coexist and collaborate to generate dielectric failures. Here, we present a set of dynamic applied field experiments designed to identify changes in the conduction and reliability of dielectric films as result of bias and temperature stress (BTS). It is shown that ionic species originating from the metal/dielectric interface can behave as trapping centers for charge carriers under BTS. Trapping of electrons into ionic centers could increase the scattering of charge carriers which leads to the additional formation of intrinsic defects across the dielectric matrix, thus accelerating intrinsic failure. A mechanism is proposed to describe how leakage current decay at the onset of BTS is related to charge carrier confinement into intrinsic and ionic defects. The kinetics of charge trapping events were found to be consistent with a time-dependent reaction rate constant, k = k0 · (t + 1)β-1 where 0<;β<;1. This formulation leads to a classic, stretched exponential decay rate that we are looking to use to help predict dielectric reliability.
只提供摘要形式。新型超多孔低k材料的可靠性通常是一个迷人而复杂的故事,涉及材料科学,电气和化学工程的多个概念。追求对新型低k材料可靠性的理解,需要对改变介电基质电学和物理特性的基本机制和现象进行解剖。故障机制可以分为两大类。由于电荷载流子的输运而引起的介电基质的损伤引起本征失效。离子催化的失效是由于源自金属/介质界面的离子种类的漂移造成的。通过解决主要失效机制如何共存并协同产生介电故障,可以从根本上推进亚20nm工艺技术节点的集成。在这里,我们提出了一组动态应用现场实验,旨在确定电介质薄膜的传导和可靠性的变化,作为偏置和温度应力(BTS)的结果。结果表明,在BTS下,源自金属/介质界面的离子可以作为载流子的俘获中心。将电子捕获到离子中心会增加载流子的散射,从而导致介电基质上额外形成本征缺陷,从而加速本征失效。提出了一种描述BTS开始时泄漏电流衰减与电荷载流子限制为本征缺陷和离子缺陷有关的机制。发现电荷捕获事件的动力学符合随时间变化的反应速率常数k = k0·(t + 1)β-1,其中0<;β<;1。这个公式得出了一个经典的、可拉伸的指数衰减率,我们希望用它来帮助预测电介质的可靠性。

This formulation leads to a classic, stretched exponential decay rate that we are looking to use to help predict dielectric reliability.","PeriodicalId":6823,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE International Interconnect Technology Conference (IITC)","volume":"12 1","pages":"217-218"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89384885","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The scaling challenges of STT-MRAM read operation down to sub-20nm is discussed. Various contributing factors to the MTJ cell resistance variation were investigated with focus on MRAM cell variation due to lithography patterning technique and interconnects. With EUV SADP or single print process, the MRAM cell size can be scaled down to 18nm physical dimension with 4.2% sigma/ave cell area variation. For interconnects, the increasing resistance variation with shrinking dimensions poses most of the challenges.
讨论了STT-MRAM读取操作降至20nm以下的缩放挑战。研究了MTJ细胞电阻变化的各种影响因素,重点研究了由于光刻图像化技术和互连引起的MRAM细胞的变化。使用EUV SADP或单次打印工艺,MRAM单元尺寸可以缩小到18nm物理尺寸,单元面积变化为4.2% sigma/ave。对于互连来说,随着尺寸的缩小,电阻的变化越来越大,这是最大的挑战。
