Study of silicon electrochemical etching process for monolithic integration of passive components on porous silicon and for the realization of through silicon via
Ces travaux de thĂšse ont pour but lâĂ©valuation et le dĂ©veloppement de briques technologiques en silicium poreux rĂ©pondant Ă la problĂ©matique de lâintĂ©gration monolithique 3D rattachĂ©e au concept du âmore than Mooreâ : dâune part lâintĂ©gration sur silicium de composants passifs RF, dâautre part, la rĂ©alisation de chemins traversants dâinterconnexion Ă fort facteur dâaspect par voie Ă©lectrochimique. Dans un premier temps, diffĂ©rents substrats mixtes silicium / silicium poreux sont rĂ©alisĂ©s. Des inductances en cuivre, rĂ©alisĂ©es sur un substrat mĂ©soporeux de 200 ”m de profondeur et de porositĂ© proche de 60%, atteignent des facteurs de qualitĂ© Ă 20 GHz jusquâĂ 55% supĂ©rieurs Ă ceux mesurĂ©s sur silicium massif. Une perspective dâindustrialisation de ce type dâapplication est Ă lâĂ©tude dans le cadre dâune thĂšse CIFRE. La gravure de matrices de pores Ă fort facteur dâaspect, bien quâencore difficilement localisable en termes de qualitĂ© de pĂ©riphĂ©rie, fait dâautre part lâobjet de dĂ©veloppements, notamment pour la fabrication de condensateurs Ă haute densitĂ© capacitive et de contacts dâinterconnexions en cuivre.Those thesis works deal with the evaluation and the development of porous silicon technological step in order to answer some of the monolithic integration challenges bring by the âmore than Mooreâ problematic in microelectronics industry: on one hand, the integration on silicon of passive RF devices, on the other hand, realization by electrochemical etching of through silicon via. In a first time, several mixed porous silicon / silicon substrat are realized. Copper inductors, realized on 200 ”m thick and 60% porosity mesoporous layer, show a quality factor superior to 55% to the one obtained on massive silicon. Industrialization perspectives are on the line via a CIFRE PhD convention. In a second time, several electrochemical etching process are evaluated. Among them, high aspect ratio macropore array etching, although poorly localizable, allows many perspectives: copper via and high density capacitor
Copper Electrodeposition into Macroporous Silicon Arrays for through Silicon via Applications
International audienceThe present paper deals with the formation of high conductivity through silicon via from macroporous silicon arrays. The through wafer macropores were ïŹrst etched by anodization into a hydroïŹuoric acid â ethanol mixture. The conditions of straight and ordered macropore etching were studied. The high aspect ratio (18) and high density via (above 105/cm2) were then ïŹlled by copper using an optimized potentiostatic technique involving a speciïŹc electrolyte with additives. The copper micro-wires were observed by SEM whereas XRD analysis enabled the determination of the average grain size
