Abstract

Imec is developing two TSV flavors for Si thicknesses of 50 and 100 μm for various wafer level packaging (WLP) applications where thin dice are stacked and electrically connected to each other through post CMOS processed TSVs and microbumps. As a differentiator, these TSV technologies use spin-on dielectric polymers as the insulating liner. A three-mask process sequence is implemented for fabrication of both TSV types; however, the TSV shape, the process flow, and the Si thickness are different for each one of them. All processes employed in the fabrication of the TSVs are performed at low temperature (<200°C) for post CMOS compatibility. For both TSV types, electrically yielding TSV connected daisy chains are measured on the fabricated wafers and the reliability of the TSVs while undergoing thermal cycle tests is analyzed.
