초록

써멀비아나 수직 배선으로 사용하기 위한 Cu 관통비아를 열린 비아 hole의 top-down filling 도금공정과 bottom-up filling 도금공정으로 형성 후 미세구조를 관찰하였다. 직류도금전류를 인가하면서 열린 비아 홀 내를 top-down filling 도금하거나 bottom-up filling 도금함으로써 내부기공이 없는 건전한 Cu 관통비아를 형성하는 것이 가능하였다. 열린 비아 홀의 top-down filling 공정에서는 Cu filling 도금 후 시편의 윗면과 밑면에서 과도금된 Cu 층을 제거하기 위한 chemical-mechanical polishing(CMP) 공정이 요구되는데 비해, 열린 비아 홀의 bottom-up filling 공정에서는 과도금된 Cu층을 제거하기 위한 CMP 공정이 시편 윗면에서만 요구되는 장점이 있었다.

Cu through-vias, which can be used as thermal vias or vertical interconnects, were formed using bottom-up electrodeposition filling as well as top-down electrodeposition filling into open via-holes and their microstructures were observed. Solid Cu through-vias without voids could be successfully formed by bottom-up filling as well as top-down filling with direct-current electrodeposition. While chemical-mechanical polishing (CMP) to remove the overplated Cu layer was needed on both top and bottom surfaces of the specimen processed by top-down filling method, the bottomup process has an advantage that such CMP was necessary only on the top surface of the sample.
