Barrier and Seed Layers Deposition in TSV Using Magnetron Sputtering

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper demonstrates the deposition of barrier layers and seed layers in TSV for 3D package. The high aspect ratio through silicon via sputtering process uses the magnetron-sputtering of Au. In order to achieve the continuous coverage of thin film on the sidewall and bottom of vertical microvias, the sputtering and anti-sputtering process was optimized. The impact of thickness of the seed layer and the gas pressure of the chamber on the coverage of the seed layers are discussed. The continuous seed layers and barrier layers on in the micro-vias with aspect ratio 3.5 can be achieved at low cost.
