Abstract: A method for far back end of line (FBEOL) semiconductor device formation includes forming a terminal copper pad (104) in an upper level of a semiconductor wafer (106), forming an insulating stack (114) over the terminal copper pad, and patterning and opening a terminal via (116) within a portion of the insulating stack so as to leave a bottom cap layer of the insulating stack protecting the terminal copper pad. An organic passivation layer (126) is formed and patterned over the top of the insulating stack, and the bottom cap layer (118) over the terminal copper pad is removed. A ball limiting metallurgy (BLM) stack (128) is deposited over the organic passivation layer and terminal copper pad, and a solder ball connection (108) is formed on a patterned portion of the BLM stack.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a thermo-mechanically reliable copper TSV and a technique to form such TSV during BEOL processing. The TSV constitutes an annular trench which extends through the semiconductor substrate. The substrate defines the inner and outer sidewalls of the trench, which sidewalls are separated by a distance within the range of 5 to 10 microns. A conductive path comprising copper or a copper alloy extends within said trench from an upper surface of said first dielectric layer through said substrate. The substrate thickness can be 60 microns or less. A dielectric layer having interconnect metallization conductively connected to the conductive path is formed directly over said annular trench.

Abstract: A through-substrate via (TSV) structure that is immune to metal contamination due to a backside planarization process is provided. After forming a through-substrate via (TSV) trench, a diffusion barrier liner is conformally deposited on the sidewalls of the TSV trench. A dielectric liner is formed by depositing a dielectric material on vertical portions of the diffusion barrier liner. A metallic conductive via structure is formed by subsequently filling the TSV trench. Horizontal portions of the diffusion barrier liner are removed. The diffusion barrier liner protects the semiconductor material of the substrate during the backside planarization by blocking residual metallic material originating from the metallic conductive via structure from entering into the semiconductor material of the substrate, thereby protecting the semiconductor devices within the substrate from metallic contamination.
