Abstract
In this paper, we design a new program to achieve carbon nanotubes through silicon vias (TSV) interconnects compatible with CMOS technology using an auxiliary TSV structures and laser local heating method. Auxiliary TSV structures are made by two wafers. One wafer is etched into ups and downs structures and then deposited SiN x and SiO 2 film. The other one is made into TSV structures by deep silicon etching, depositing thin film and wafer thinning and polish. Two wafers are bonded together by patterned BCB (Benzocyclobutene). For the entire device structures, we use FDTD solutions software to simulate infrared optical properties of SiN x . SiN x film layer can absorb 10.6 µm infrared laser strongly. Thermal simulation of geometrical model by COMSOL Multiphysics software shows well temperature compatibility. It turns out the program is compatible with current CMOS processes. Using a laser local heating method, we have studied the local growth of carbon nanotubes. Carbon nanotubes grown in TSVs are sparse, intertwined and have a poor morphology; the reason for this is that TSVs' geometric sizes limit gases flows. Carbon nanotubes interconnect still need further study.
