Detailed Description
The technical scheme of the invention is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
The terms first, second, third, fourth and the like in the description and in the claims and in the above drawings are used for distinguishing between different objects and not necessarily for describing a particular sequential or chronological order.
The embodiment of the invention provides a novel manufacturing process of a semiconductor test probe card, which comprises a probe manufacturing process shown in figure 1 and a probe packaging process shown in figure 2.
As shown in fig. 1, the probe manufacturing process specifically includes the following steps:
Step 1, cleaning a silicon substrate 1, and plating a first metal layer 2 on the silicon substrate 1 by using a physical vapor deposition method. Preferably, the first metal layer 2 covers the entire top surface of the silicon substrate 1.
Step 2, coating a first photoresist layer 3 on the first metal layer 2, and performing photoetching and developing on a first preset position of the first photoresist layer 3 to form a probe growth position 31. The bottom surface of the probe growth position 31 is the top surface of the first metal layer 2, and the periphery of the probe growth position 31 is provided with the first photoresist layer 3.
Step 3, a second metal layer 4 is grown on the first metal layer 2 by electroplating at the probe growth site 31. The second metal layer 4 fills the probe growth sites 31.
Due to the presence of the first photoresist layer 3, the second metal layer 4 is grown only at the probe growth sites 31 during electroplating.
And 4, removing the first photoresist layer 3 by using a photoresist remover and cleaning.
And 5, plating a silicon oxide layer 5 on the first metal layer 2 and the second metal layer 4 by using chemical vapor deposition equipment. Preferably, the silicon oxide layer 5 covers the entire top surface of the first metal layer 2 and the entire top surface of the second metal layer 4.
And 6, coating a second photoresist layer 6 on the silicon oxide layer 5, and photoetching and developing a second preset position of the second photoresist layer 6 to form a probe beam etching position 61.
Preferably, the second photoresist layer 6 covers the entire top surface of the silicon oxide layer 5, the probe beam etching sites 61 are located directly above the second metal layer 4, and the probe beam etching sites 61 are only a portion of the second photoresist layer 6 located above the second metal layer.
And 7, performing dry etching on the silicon oxide layer below the probe beam etching position 61. Specifically, the silicon oxide layer located below the probe beam etching position 61 is entirely etched away by a dry etching machine.
And 8, performing partial dry etching on the second metal layer below the probe beam etching position 61 to form a probe beam 81. Specifically, the second metal layer located under the probe beam etching position 61 is etched away by a dry etching machine to leave a part of the thickness, thereby forming the probe beam 81.
Since the probe beam 81 is to be formed, the second metal layer needs to be dry etched for a long time, if only one photo-resist layer is coated on the second metal layer 4 and the first metal layer 2, the blocking capability of the photo-resist layer is limited, and the first metal layer and the second metal layer cannot be effectively protected from forming the part outside the probe beam. In the steps 5 to 8, the silicon oxide layer 5 is plated on the first metal layer 2 and the second metal layer 4, and then the second photoresist layer 6 is coated on the silicon oxide layer 5, and the dry etching machine only etches the second metal layer right under the probe beam etching position 61 due to the existence of the silicon oxide layer 5 and the second photoresist layer 6. The blocking resistance is enhanced compared to a single photoresist layer, protecting the first and second metal layers under the second photoresist layer 6 and the silicon oxide layer 5.
And 9, removing the second photoresist layer 6 by using a photoresist remover and then cleaning.
And step 10, etching all the silicon oxide layer 5 by using a dry etching machine, thereby removing the silicon oxide layer 5 and cleaning.
And 11, coating a third photoresist layer 7 on the first metal layer 2 and the second metal layer 4, and photoetching and developing a third preset position of the third photoresist layer to form a probe needle angle etching position 71. The probe pin angle etching position 71 is located on the upper side circumference of the non-etched portion of the second metal layer 4. Preferably, the third photoresist layer 7 covers the entire top surface of the first metal layer 2 and the entire top surface of the second metal layer 4, and the probe pin angle etching position 71 is located right above the second metal layer 4.
In step 12, the second metal layer under the probe tip etching position 71 is partially etched to form a probe tip 82. Specifically, according to the preset needle angle, the metal layer below the probe needle angle etching position 71 is partially etched by using a trench process by using a dry etching machine, so as to form a probe needle 82. The probe tip 82 prepared in this step and the probe beam 81 prepared in step 8 are formed as an integral structure, forming the probe 8.
The third photoresist layer 7 protects the second metal layer and the first metal layer below the third photoresist layer 7 from being etched by a dry etching machine. The dry etcher only partially etches the second metal layer directly under the probe pin angle etch site 71.
And step 13, removing the third photoresist layer 7 by using a photoresist remover, and cleaning to obtain a first intermediate product. The first intermediate product comprises a silicon substrate 1, a first metal layer 2 covered on the top surface of the silicon substrate 1, and a probe 8 formed on the top surface of the first metal layer 2.
As shown in fig. 2, the probe packaging process specifically includes the following steps:
And 14, filling a glue layer 9 on the top surface of the first intermediate product. The glue layer 9 covers the probes 8 and the first metal layer 2. Preferably, the top surface of the glue layer 9 is of uniform height, i.e. the top surface of the glue layer 9 is level.
And 15, bonding a glass plate 10 on the top surface of the glue layer 9 to obtain a second intermediate product.
At step 16, the second intermediate product is flipped so that the probes 8 are located under the silicon substrate 1. After the inversion, the surface of the silicon substrate 1 not covered with the first metal layer becomes the top surface of the silicon substrate.
In step 17, a fourth photoresist layer 11 is coated on the top surface of the silicon substrate 1, and a metal post etching position 111 is formed by performing photolithography and development on a fourth preset position of the fourth photoresist layer 11.
The metal pillar etch site 111 is located directly above the probe 8. The bottom surface of the metal post etching position 111 is the top surface of the silicon substrate 1, and the periphery of the metal post etching position 111 is the fourth photoresist layer 11.
In step 18, the silicon substrate 1 directly below the metal pillar etching site 111 is etched.
Preferably, the silicon substrate 1 directly below the metal pillar etching site 111 is dry etched.
Due to the presence of the fourth photoresist layer 11, only the silicon substrate 1 directly under the metal pillar etching site 111 is etched at the time of etching.
In step 19, the first metal layer 2 directly below the metal pillar etching site 111 is etched to form a metal pillar growth site 23.
Preferably, the first metal layer 2 directly below the metal pillar etching site 111 is wet etched.
The bottom surface of the metal column growth position 23 is the top surface of the probe 8, and the periphery of the metal column growth position 23 is sequentially provided with a first metal layer 2, a silicon substrate 1 and a fourth photoresist layer 11 from bottom to top.
At step 20, metal pillars 12 are grown at metal pillar growth sites 23 using an electroplating process. The top surface of the metal posts 12 is higher than the top surface of the silicon substrate 1.
Due to the presence of the fourth photoresist layer 11, the metal pillars 12 are grown only at the metal pillar growth sites 23 during electroplating.
And step 21, removing the fourth photoresist layer 11, and then cleaning to obtain a third intermediate product.
And (4) filling the glue layer 9 on the top surface of the first intermediate product and bonding the glass plate 10 in sequence in the steps 14 and 15, and using the glue layer as a supporting structure of the probe after the overturning in the step 16. The top surface of the glue layer 9 before turning is horizontal, the top surface of the glass plate is also horizontal, and then the bottom surface of the glass plate after turning is horizontal, so that the top surface of the silicon substrate after turning is horizontal, and the silicon substrate 1 right below the metal column etching position 111 is conveniently subjected to dry etching in step 19.
At step 22, the third intermediate product is flipped so that the probes 8 are located above the silicon substrate 1. After the overturning, the opposite surface of the metal column connected with the probe becomes the bottom surface of the metal column.
Step 23, removing the glass sheet 10.
Step 24, the glue layer 9 is removed.
And step 25, bonding the bottom surface of the metal post 12 with the top surface of the metal layer on the top surface of the ceramic substrate 13.
In step 26, the first metal layer 2 is etched to remove the silicon substrate 1, thereby obtaining a probe card.
Preferably, the first metal layer 2 is wet etched.
Since the first metal layer 2 is grown on the silicon substrate 1 in the step 1, the first metal layer 2 is only etched in the step, and the silicon substrate 1 is automatically removed after the first metal layer 2 is completely etched.
According to the novel manufacturing process of the semiconductor test probe card, the first metal layer is plated on the silicon substrate, and then the probe is grown, so that the first metal layer is located between the probe and the silicon substrate, in the step 26, only the first metal layer is needed to be etched, when the first metal layer is completely etched, the silicon substrate 1 automatically drops, the silicon substrate does not need to be etched, and compared with the silicon substrate, the thinner metal layer is easy to etch, so that the process is simplified, and the productivity is improved.
The novel manufacturing process of the semiconductor test probe card provided by the embodiment of the invention has the advantages that the second metal layer is plated on the first metal layer when the probe is manufactured, and then the second metal layer is etched by adopting the dry etching method to form the probe, so that a plurality of wet etching steps, bonding process steps, physical vapor phase film plating steps and chemical mechanical polishing steps are omitted, the process flow is simplified, the productivity is improved, and the cost is saved. The method of the embodiment adopts a dry etching groove process to etch the second metal layer, so that the angle of the probe needle head can be better controlled, the uniformity of the probe is improved, and the yield of the probe is improved.
