発光素子14は、絶縁層31上に配置された正電極44aと負電極44bにハンダ等の導電性接続部材を介して電気的に接続されて、絶縁層31上に実装される。正電極44aは、Mo層/Al層/Mo層等から成る電極層42aと、それを覆う酸化インジウム錫(Indium Tin Oxide:ITO)等から成る透明電極43aと、から成る。負電極44bも同様の構成であり、Mo層/Al層/Mo層等から成る電極層42bと、それを覆うITO等から成る透明電極43bと、から成る。絶縁層31と、透明電極43a,43bのそれぞれの一部(発光素子14が重ならない部位)と、を覆って、絶縁層45が配置されており、この絶縁層45は酸化珪素(SiO2),窒化珪素(SiNx)等から成る(例えば、特許文献1を参照)。 The light emitting element 14 is electrically connected to the positive electrode 44 a and the negative electrode 44 b disposed on the insulating layer 31 via a conductive connecting member such as solder, and mounted on the insulating layer 31.

しかしながら、図8に示す構成の上記従来の表示装置においては、以下の問題点があった。貫通導体16kを構成する導体は、高い導電性の点でCuから成る場合が多く、CuはTFT13の半導体層13aに対して汚染物質となるという問題点があった。また、貫通導体16kには電源電流等の大電流を流すことが多く、その場合貫通導体16kに電流集中が生じて貫通導体16kが発熱し、その結果、貫通導体16kに重なる絶縁層31の部位にクラックが発生したり、貫通導体16kと正電圧入力線16との接続部に断線が発生するという問題点があった。また、絶縁基板1に貫通導体16kを設けることによって、貫通導体16kに接続される電源配線等の配線における信号の電圧降下を小さくすることができるが、多数の発光素子14が配置される発光装置においては配線の長さが長くなるために、信号の電圧降下を小さくすることが難しくなるという問題点があった。また、一般に貫通導体を形成した絶縁基板1にTFT等を形成するため、貫通導体はその位置やサイズのばらつき、精度が悪く、TFTの微細化による位置ずれなどが生じる結果として、高密度の半導体装置の実現が難しいと言う問題点があった。 However, the above-described conventional display device having the configuration shown in FIG. 8 has the following problems. The conductor constituting the through conductor 16 k is often made of Cu in terms of high conductivity, and Cu has a problem of becoming a contaminant with respect to the semiconductor layer 13 a of the TFT 13. In addition, a large current such as a power supply current often flows through through conductor 16k, in which case current concentration occurs in through conductor 16k and through conductor 16k generates heat, as a result, a portion of insulating layer 31 overlapping with through conductor 16k There is a problem that a crack is generated or a disconnection occurs at the connection between the through conductor 16k and the positive voltage input line 16. Further, by providing the through conductor 16k in the insulating substrate 1, the voltage drop of the signal in the wiring such as the power supply wiring connected to the through conductor 16k can be reduced, but a light emitting device in which a large number of light emitting elements 14 are arranged. In the above, there is a problem that it becomes difficult to reduce the voltage drop of the signal because the length of the wiring becomes long. Further, since the TFTs and the like are generally formed on the insulating substrate 1 on which the through conductors are formed, the through conductors are uneven in their positions and sizes, the accuracy is poor, and as a result of positional deviation due to the miniaturization of the TFTs There is a problem that the realization of the device is difficult.
本発明は、上記の問題点に鑑みて完成されたものであり、その目的は、貫通導体の発熱によって貫通導体に重なる絶縁層の部位にクラックが発生したり、貫通導体とそれに接続される配線との接続部に断線が発生することを効果的に抑えることができる、半導体装置及び発光装置を提供することである。また、貫通導体に接続される配線における信号の電圧降下をより小さくすることができる、半導体装置及び発光装置を提供することである。また、高密度なTFTを形成した後に精度の劣る貫通導体を作成することにより、結果として高密度の半導体装置の実現を可能とすることである。また、貫通導体を構成する導体がTFTの半導体層を汚染することを抑えることができるとともに、貫通導体の発熱による上記問題点の発生を抑えることができる結果、信頼性が高く長寿命の半導体装置を製造できる半導体装置の製造方法を提供することである。 The present invention has been completed in view of the above problems, and its object is to generate a crack in the portion of the insulating layer overlapping the through conductor due to the heat generation of the through conductor, or to the through conductor and the wiring connected thereto It is an object of the present invention to provide a semiconductor device and a light emitting device capable of effectively suppressing the occurrence of disconnection at the connection portion with the semiconductor device. Another object of the present invention is to provide a semiconductor device and a light emitting device which can further reduce a voltage drop of a signal in a wiring connected to a through conductor. In addition, it is possible to realize a high density semiconductor device as a result by forming a low-precision through conductor after forming a high density TFT. In addition, the conductor forming the through conductor can be prevented from contaminating the semiconductor layer of the TFT, and the occurrence of the above-mentioned problems due to the heat generation of the through conductor can be suppressed. As a result, a semiconductor device with high reliability and long life. It is an object of the present invention to provide a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device capable of manufacturing a semiconductor device.

本発明の半導体装置は、絶縁基板と、前記絶縁基板を貫通する貫通導体と、前記絶縁基板上に配置された複数の絶縁層と、前記複数の絶縁層の層間に配置されるとともに前記貫通導体に電気的に接続されている薄膜トランジスタと、を有している半導体装置であって、前記複数の絶縁層における前記貫通導体と重なる部位に、貫通孔が配置されており、前記貫通孔の開口の径が前記貫通導体の径よりも大きく、かつ前記貫通孔の開口の内側に前記貫通導体が位置している構成であることから、以下の効果を奏する。複数の絶縁層における貫通導体と重なる部位に貫通孔が配置されていることから、貫通導体の放熱性が向上し、
貫通導体に電源電流等の大きな電流を流したとしても、貫通導体の発熱によって貫通導体に重なる絶縁層の部位にクラックが発生したり、貫通導体とそれに接続される配線との接続部に断線が発生することを効果的に抑えることができる。
A semiconductor device according to the present invention includes: an insulating substrate; a through conductor penetrating the insulating substrate; a plurality of insulating layers disposed on the insulating substrate; A semiconductor device having a thin film transistor electrically connected to the semiconductor device, and a through hole is disposed in a portion of the plurality of insulating layers overlapping the through conductor; Since the diameter is larger than the diameter of the through conductor and the through conductor is located inside the opening of the through hole, the following effects can be obtained. Since the through holes are disposed in the portions of the plurality of insulating layers overlapping the through conductors, the heat dissipation of the through conductors is improved,
Even if a large current such as a power supply current flows in the through conductor, the heat generation of the through conductor causes a crack in the portion of the insulating layer overlapping the through conductor, or a break in the connecting portion between the through conductor and the wiring connected thereto. The occurrence can be effectively suppressed.
本発明の半導体装置は、前記貫通導体は、複数個が前記絶縁基板に均等に配置されている場合、絶縁基板において複数個の貫通導体の発熱による熱集中を抑えることができる。その結果、絶縁層の部位にクラックが発生したり、貫通導体とそれに接続される配線との接続部に断線が発生することをより効果的に抑えることができる。また、複数個の貫通導体を均等に配置することにより絶縁基板の面内での電圧降下を最小で均一なものとすることが可能となり、電圧降下に伴う発光輝度の不均一などが無い発光装置等の実現が可能となる。 In the semiconductor device of the present invention, when a plurality of the through conductors are evenly arranged on the insulating substrate, heat concentration due to heat generation of the plurality of through conductors can be suppressed in the insulating substrate. As a result, it is possible to more effectively suppress the occurrence of a crack in the portion of the insulating layer and the occurrence of a break in the connection portion between the through conductor and the wiring connected thereto. Further, by arranging the plurality of through conductors evenly, the voltage drop in the surface of the insulating substrate can be minimized and made uniform, and the light emitting device does not have uneven light emission luminance due to the voltage drop. Etc. can be realized.
また本発明の半導体装置は、前記貫通導体は前記絶縁基板に複数配置されているとともに、それらは前記絶縁基板の端との距離が互いに異なるものを含んでおり、前記絶縁基板の端に最も近い前記貫通導体の平面視での面積が他の前記貫通導体の平面視での面積よりも大きい場合、絶縁基板の端に最も近い貫通導体の抵抗を、他の貫通導体の抵抗よりも小さくすることができる。従って、それらの貫通導体に電源電流等の大きな電流を流したとしても、貫通導体に接続される配線における電圧降下のばらつきを小さくすることができる。また、それらの貫通導体の放熱性のばらつきも小さくすることができる。貫通導体の発熱による上記諸問題点の発生をより効果的に抑えることができる。 Further, in the semiconductor device according to the present invention, the through conductors are arranged in a plurality on the insulating substrate, and they include those different in distance from the end of the insulating substrate, and are closest to the end of the insulating substrate When the area of the through conductor in plan view is larger than the area of the other through conductor in plan view, the resistance of the through conductor closest to the end of the insulating substrate is smaller than the resistance of the other through conductors. Can. Therefore, even if a large current such as a power supply current flows in the through conductors, the variation in voltage drop in the wiring connected to the through conductors can be reduced. Moreover, the dispersion | variation in the heat dissipation of those penetration conductors can also be made small. It is possible to more effectively suppress the occurrence of the above-mentioned problems due to the heat generation of the through conductor.
また本発明の半導体装置は、前記絶縁基板の端に最も近い前記貫通導体を流れる電流が、他の前記貫通導体を流れる電流よりも大きい場合、絶縁基板の端に最も近い貫通導体の抵抗を、他の貫通導体の抵抗よりも小さくしているので、絶縁基板の端に最も近い貫通導体に電源電流等の大電流を流すことができる。 Further, in the semiconductor device according to the present invention, when a current flowing through the through conductor closest to the end of the insulating substrate is larger than a current flowing through the other through conductor, the resistance of the through conductor closest to the end of the insulating substrate is Since the resistance is smaller than the resistances of the other through conductors, a large current such as a power supply current can flow through the through conductor closest to the end of the insulating substrate.
また本発明の半導体装置において、前記絶縁基板は、側面に配置された側面導体を有しており、前記貫通導体は、前記側面導体に電気的に接続されている場合、貫通導体及び側面導体のそれぞれに電流が分配されるので、貫通導体を流れる電流が小さくなる。その結果、貫通導体の発熱による上記諸問題点の発生をより効果的に抑えることができる。また、複数の貫通導体がある場合、貫通導体に接続された配線における信号の電圧降下のばらつきを小さくすることができる。また、それらの貫通導体の放熱性のばらつきも小さくすることができる。また、一般に側面導体は貫通導体より低抵抗化が難しく、大電流を流した場合はマイグレーションなど信頼性の低下も懸念されていたが、貫通導体で冗長接続する事により、側面導体の高信頼性化が可能になる。 Further, in the semiconductor device according to the present invention, the insulating substrate has a side conductor disposed on a side surface, and the through conductor is a through conductor and a side conductor when electrically connected to the side conductor. Since the current is distributed to each, the current flowing through the through conductor is reduced. As a result, it is possible to more effectively suppress the occurrence of the above-mentioned problems due to the heat generation of the through conductor. Further, when there are a plurality of through conductors, variations in voltage drop of signals in the wirings connected to the through conductors can be reduced. Moreover, the dispersion | variation in the heat dissipation of those penetration conductors can also be made small. Generally, it is more difficult to lower the resistance of the side conductor than through conductors, and there is concern about the decrease in reliability such as migration when a large current flows, however, high reliability of the side conductors can be achieved by making redundant connections with the through conductors. Can be
また本発明の半導体装置は、前記絶縁基板は、側面に前記側面導体と電気的に独立している側面配線が配置されている場合、薄膜トランジスタのゲート電極に入力する走査信号等を側面配線を介して供給することができるので、貫通導体の数が増加することを抑えることができる。また、大電流の接続を側面配線だけでは無く貫通導体でも実施することで、大電流用に大面積の側面導体の形成が不要となり、側面配線領域の縮小や形成する辺をより少なくすることができるなど狭額縁化に大いに寄与する。また、貫通導体の発熱による上記諸問題点の発生をより効果的に抑えることができる。 In the semiconductor device according to the present invention, when the side surface wiring electrically isolated from the side surface conductor is disposed on the side surface of the insulating substrate, a scanning signal or the like input to the gate electrode of the thin film transistor is through the side surface wiring. Since it can be supplied, it is possible to suppress an increase in the number of through conductors. Further, by performing the connection of a large current not only to the side wiring but also to the through conductor, it becomes unnecessary to form a side conductor of a large area for a large current, and the side wiring region can be reduced and the side to be formed can be reduced. It greatly contributes to narrowing the frame, such as being able to. Further, the occurrence of the above-mentioned problems due to the heat generation of the through conductor can be suppressed more effectively.
本発明の発光装置は、上記本発明の構成の半導体装置を有する発光装置であって、前記複数の絶縁層の上に前記薄膜トランジスタと電気的に接続される電極が配置されており、前記電極に接続された発光素子を有している構成であることから、貫通導体の発熱による上記諸問題点の発生を効果的に抑えることができる結果、信頼性が高く長寿命の発光装置となる。 A light emitting device according to the present invention is a light emitting device including the semiconductor device having the above configuration according to the present invention, and an electrode electrically connected to the thin film transistor is disposed on the plurality of insulating layers. Since the light emitting element connected is provided, generation of the above-mentioned problems due to heat generation of the through conductor can be effectively suppressed, resulting in a light emitting device with high reliability and long life.

Then, a hole penetrating the insulating substrate is formed in the portion of the insulating substrate exposed inside the opening of the through hole, and the conductive conductor is disposed in the hole to form the through conductor. Therefore, the following effects can be obtained. Since the through conductor can be formed after forming the thin film transistor, it is possible to suppress that the conductor forming the through conductor contaminates the semiconductor layer of the TFT. Moreover, as a result of being able to suppress generation | occurrence | production of the said problems by heat_generation | fever of a penetration conductor, a highly reliable and long life semiconductor device can be manufactured. In addition, after forming the TFT on the insulating substrate with high density and high accuracy, by forming the through conductor with poor positional accuracy and size accuracy on the insulating substrate, connection via the wiring between the TFT and the through conductor is easy. As a result, it becomes possible to realize a high density semiconductor device.
本発明の半導体装置の製造方法は、前記貫通孔をエッチング法によって形成し、前記絶縁基板を貫通する孔をレーザ光照射法によって形成する場合、絶縁基板を貫通する孔の位置及び大きさを正確なものとして形成できる。その結果、放熱性に優れた貫通導体を形成することが容易になる。 In the method of manufacturing a semiconductor device according to the present invention, when the through holes are formed by etching and the holes penetrating the insulating substrate are formed by laser beam irradiation, the position and size of the holes penetrating the insulating substrate are accurate. It can be formed as As a result, it becomes easy to form a through conductor excellent in heat dissipation.
また本発明の半導体装置の製造方法は、前記導体柱は銅柱である場合、高い導電性を有する貫通導体を形成できる。従って、貫通導体の発熱による上記諸問題点の発生をより抑えることができるとともに、貫通導体を構成する銅がTFTの半導体層を汚染することを抑えることができ、長寿命の半導体装置を製造できる。 Further, in the method of manufacturing a semiconductor device according to the present invention, in the case where the conductor post is a copper post, a through conductor having high conductivity can be formed. Therefore, while being able to suppress generation | occurrence | production of the said problems by heat_generation | fever of a penetration conductor more, it can suppress that copper which comprises a penetration conductor pollutes the semiconductor layer of TFT, and can manufacture a long life semiconductor device. .
また本発明の半導体装置の製造方法は、前記貫通孔は、前記貫通導体の側の径よりも反対側の径が大きい場合、貫通導体の放熱性が向上する。その結果、貫通導体の発熱による上記諸問題点の発生をより抑えることができる。 Further, in the method of manufacturing a semiconductor device according to the present invention, when the diameter of the through hole on the opposite side is larger than the diameter on the side of the through conductor, the heat dissipation of the through conductor is improved. As a result, the occurrence of the above-mentioned problems due to the heat generation of the through conductor can be further suppressed.

In FIGS. 1 to 4 showing the embodiment of the semiconductor device, the light emitting device and the semiconductor device according to the present invention, the same parts as those in FIGS. I omit the explanation.
本発明の半導体装置は、TFTに接続されて動作が制御される種々の電子素子が搭載されることによって、種々の電子装置を構成し得る。電子素子としては、LED等の発光素子、有機EL素子、無機EL素子、微小電気機械システム(Micro Electro Mechanical Systems)素子等がある。図1〜図4は、本発明の半導体装置を用いた発光装置について実施の形態の各種例を示す図であり、以下、発光装置用の半導体装置及び発光装置について説明する。 The semiconductor device of the present invention can constitute various electronic devices by mounting various electronic elements connected to the TFT and whose operation is controlled. As an electronic element, there are a light emitting element such as LED, an organic EL element, an inorganic EL element, a micro electro mechanical system (Micro Electro Mechanical Systems) element, and the like. FIGS. 1 to 4 are diagrams showing various examples of the light emitting device using the semiconductor device of the present invention. Hereinafter, the semiconductor device and the light emitting device for the light emitting device will be described.
図1に示すように、本発明の半導体装置は、ガラス基板等から成る絶縁基板1と、絶縁基板1を貫通する貫通導体16k1と、絶縁基板1上に配置された複数の絶縁層31と、複数の絶縁層31の層間に配置されるとともに貫通導体16k1に電気的に接続されているTFT13と、を有している半導体装置であって、複数の絶縁層31における貫通導体16k1と重なる部位に、貫通孔60が配置されており、貫通孔60の開口の径が貫通導体16k1の径よりも大きく、かつ貫通孔60の開口の内側に貫通導体16k1が位置している構成である。この構成により、貫通導体16k1の放熱性が向上し、貫通導体16k1に電源電流(数μA〜数10μA程度)等の大きな電流を流したとしても、貫通導体16k1の発熱によって貫通導体16k1に重なる絶縁層31の部位にクラックが発生したり、貫通導体16k1とそれに接続される正電圧入力線16との接続部に断線が発生することを効果的に抑えることができる。 As shown in FIG. 1, the semiconductor device of the present invention comprises an insulating substrate 1 made of a glass substrate or the like, a through conductor 16k1 penetrating the insulating substrate 1, and a plurality of insulating layers 31 disposed on the insulating substrate 1. A semiconductor device including a TFT 13 disposed between layers of a plurality of insulating layers 31 and electrically connected to the through conductor 16 k 1, in a portion overlapping with the through conductors 16 k 1 in the plurality of insulating layers 31. The through hole 60 is disposed, the diameter of the opening of the through hole 60 is larger than the diameter of the through conductor 16k1, and the through conductor 16k1 is located inside the opening of the through hole 60. With this configuration, the heat dissipation of the through conductor 16k1 is improved, and even if a large current such as a power supply current (about several μA to several 10 μA) flows through the through conductor 16k1, the insulation of the through conductor 16k1 overlaps the through conductor 16k1. It is possible to effectively suppress the occurrence of a crack in the portion of the layer 31 and the occurrence of disconnection at the connection portion between the through conductor 16k1 and the positive voltage input line 16 connected thereto.
本発明の半導体装置において、絶縁基板1は、ガラス基板、プラスチック基板、セラミック基板等の電気的に絶縁性の基板であるが、絶縁性の基板に金属基板等の放熱性が高い基板が付加されていてもよい。また、絶縁基板1は透明なガラス基板であってもよいが、不透明なものであってもよい。絶縁基板1が不透明なものである場合、絶縁基板1は着色されたガラス基板、摺りガラスから成るガラス基板、プラスチック基板、セラミック基板、あるいはそれらの基板を積層した複合基板であってもよい。 In the semiconductor device of the present invention, the insulating substrate 1 is an electrically insulating substrate such as a glass substrate, a plastic substrate, or a ceramic substrate, but a substrate having high heat dissipation such as a metal substrate is added to the insulating substrate. It may be The insulating substrate 1 may be a transparent glass substrate, but may be opaque. When the insulating substrate 1 is opaque, the insulating substrate 1 may be a colored glass substrate, a glass substrate made of ground glass, a plastic substrate, a ceramic substrate, or a composite substrate obtained by laminating those substrates.
貫通導体16k1の径、貫通孔60の径は、円柱状の貫通導体16k1、円筒状の貫通孔60である場合、横断面における直径を意味する。貫通導体16k1が楕円柱状、貫通孔60が楕円筒状である場合、横断面における長径(最大径)または平均径である。貫通導体16k1がその他の四角柱状等の柱状、貫通孔60がその他の四角筒状等の筒状である場合、横断面における最大幅または平均幅である。いすれにしても、平面視において、貫通孔60の開口の内側に貫通導体16k1が位置している構成である。 The diameter of the through conductor 16k1 and the diameter of the through hole 60 mean the diameter in the cross section in the case of the cylindrical through conductor 16k1 and the cylindrical through hole 60. In the case where the through conductor 16k1 has an elliptic cylindrical shape and the through hole 60 has an elliptic cylindrical shape, it is the major axis (maximum diameter) or the average diameter in the cross section. In the case where the through conductor 16k1 has a columnar shape such as another square column, and the through hole 60 has a cylindrical shape such as another square cylindrical shape, the width is the maximum width or the average width in the cross section. In any case, the through conductor 16k1 is located inside the opening of the through hole 60 in plan view.
貫通孔60の径は貫通導体16k1の径よりも10μm〜50μm程度外側に位置し、例えば、貫通導体16k1の径は、円柱状の貫通導体16k1であれば10μm〜500μm程度の長さの直径である。貫通孔60の径は、円筒状の貫通孔60であれば30μm〜600μm程度の長さの直径である。 The diameter of the through hole 60 is located about 10 μm to 50 μm outside of the diameter of the through conductor 16k1, and for example, the diameter of the through conductor 16k1 is a diameter of about 10 μm to 500 μm for a cylindrical through conductor 16k1. is there. The diameter of the through hole 60 is a diameter of about 30 μm to 600 μm in the case of the cylindrical through hole 60.
貫通孔60は、貫通導体16k1の側の径(図1では下端側の径)よりも反対側の径(図1では上端側の径)が大きいことが好ましい。この場合、貫通孔60が上側に向かって大きく開いた構成となるために、貫通導体16k1で発生した熱が空間に放散されやすくなり、貫通導体16k1の放熱性が向上する。その結果、貫通導体16k1の発熱による上述の諸問題点の発生をより抑えることができる。図2(a)は、貫通導体16k1の側の径よりも反対側の径を大きくする場合に、段階的に大きくした構成を示すものである。この場合、貫通導体16k1で発生した熱が空間により放散されやすくなり、貫通導体16k1の放熱性がより向上する。貫通孔60の上端側の径と下端側の径の比は、例えば1.1倍〜2倍程度であればよい。また、貫通導体16k1上方の空間を構成する窪みには黒色絶縁膜などの透明絶縁膜よりも熱伝導性、放熱性に優れた保護膜や加飾膜を設けてもよい。 The diameter of the through hole 60 on the opposite side (the diameter on the upper end in FIG. 1) is preferably larger than the diameter on the side of the through conductor 16k1 (the diameter on the lower end in FIG. 1). In this case, since the through holes 60 are widely opened upward, the heat generated in the through conductors 16k1 is easily dissipated into space, and the heat dissipation of the through conductors 16k1 is improved. As a result, the occurrence of the above-mentioned problems due to the heat generation of the through conductor 16k1 can be further suppressed. FIG. 2A shows a configuration in which the diameter on the opposite side is made larger than the diameter on the side of the through conductor 16k1 in a stepwise manner. In this case, the heat generated in the through conductor 16k1 is easily dissipated by the space, and the heat dissipation of the through conductor 16k1 is further improved. The ratio of the diameter on the upper end side to the diameter on the lower end side of the through hole 60 may be, for example, about 1.1 times to 2 times. In addition, a protective film or a decorative film that is more excellent in thermal conductivity and heat dissipation than a transparent insulating film such as a black insulating film may be provided in a recess that constitutes a space above the through conductor 16k1.
図2(b)は、貫通導体16k1について、絶縁基板1の第1主面(発光素子搭載主面)側の径が、絶縁基板1の第2主面(発光素子搭載主面と反対側の主面)側の径よりも小さい、好適な構成を示すものである。即ち、貫通導体16k1の第2主面側(下端側)の径が第1主面側(上端側)の径より大きい構成である。この場合、貫通導体16k1で発生した熱が絶縁基板1の第2主面の側に放散されやすくなり、絶縁層31への熱の影響を小さくすることができる。従って、貫通導体16k1の発熱による上述の諸問題点の発生をより抑えることができる。 In FIG. 2B, the diameter of the through conductor 16k1 on the first main surface (light emitting element mounting main surface) side of the insulating substrate 1 is opposite to the second main surface (light emitting element mounting main surface) of the insulating substrate 1 A preferred configuration smaller than the diameter on the main surface side) is shown. That is, the diameter of the second main surface side (lower end side) of the through conductor 16k1 is larger than the diameter of the first main surface side (upper end side). In this case, the heat generated in the through conductor 16k1 is easily dissipated to the side of the second main surface of the insulating substrate 1, and the influence of the heat on the insulating layer 31 can be reduced. Therefore, the generation of the above-mentioned problems due to the heat generation of the through conductor 16k1 can be further suppressed.
図3(a)は、複数の貫通導体16k1〜16kn,17k1〜17knが表示部11に配置されている構成を示すものである。この場合、複数の貫通導体16k1〜16kn,17k1〜17knのそれぞれが、それが接続される配線である、正電圧入力線16、負電圧入力線17の中央部に接続されていることが良い。この構成の場合、正電圧入力線16、負電圧入力線17における電圧降下がより小さくなる。正電圧入力線16、負電圧入力線17の中央部は、例えば、それらの線の中心から−15%〜+15%の長さの範囲、即ち線の中心を含む30%程度の長さの範囲である。 FIG. 3A shows a configuration in which the plurality of through conductors 16k1 to 16kn and 17k1 to 17kn are disposed in the display unit 11. FIG. In this case, it is preferable that each of the plurality of through conductors 16k1 to 16kn and 17k1 to 17kn be connected to central portions of the positive voltage input line 16 and the negative voltage input line 17, which are the wirings to which they are connected. In this configuration, the voltage drop on the positive voltage input line 16 and the negative voltage input line 17 is smaller. The central portions of the positive voltage input line 16 and the negative voltage input line 17 are, for example, in the range of -15% to + 15% in length from the centers of the lines, ie, about 30% in length including the centers of the lines. It is.
図3(b)は、複数の貫通導体16k1〜16kn,17k1〜17knが表示部11に配置されており、それらの隣接間の間隔がほぼ同じである、好適な構成を示すものである。この場合、絶縁基板1において、複数の貫通導体16k1〜16kn,17k1〜17knで発生した熱が局所的に集中することを抑えることができる。複数の貫通導体16k1〜16kn,17k1〜17knの隣接間の間隔は、全く同じである必要はなく、間隔の比を1倍〜1.5倍程度の範囲内として調整し得る。その範囲を外れると、絶縁基板1に局所的な熱集中が発生しやすくなる傾向がある。 FIG. 3B shows a preferable configuration in which a plurality of through conductors 16k1 to 16kn and 17k1 to 17kn are disposed in the display unit 11 and the intervals between adjacent ones are substantially the same. In this case, in the insulating substrate 1, local concentration of heat generated by the plurality of through conductors 16 k 1 to 16 kn and 17 k 1 to 17 kn can be suppressed. The intervals between adjacent ones of the plurality of through conductors 16k1 to 16kn and 17k1 to 17kn do not have to be exactly the same, and the ratio of the intervals can be adjusted within the range of approximately 1 to 1.5 times. Outside the range, local heat concentration tends to easily occur in the insulating substrate 1.
本発明の半導体装置は、貫通導体は、複数個が絶縁基板1に均等に配置されていることが好ましい。この場合、絶縁基板1内での抵抗分布や電圧降下が均一となり、また絶縁基板1において複数個の貫通導体の発熱による熱集中を抑えることができる。その結果、絶縁層31の部位にクラックが発生したり、貫通導体とそれに接続される配線との接続部に断線が発生することをより効果的に抑えることができる。複数個の貫通導体が絶縁基板1に均等に配置されている構成は、複数個の貫通導体が発熱したときに絶縁基板1の熱分布が均等になるような構成である。例えば、矩形状の絶縁基板1の主面を行列状に均等の面積でもって区分するに際して、貫通導体の数と区分された部位の数が同じになるようにする。そして、それぞれの区分された部位の中心部に貫通導体を配置する構成である。図3においては、各入力線毎に貫通導体を設けているが、複数本毎に束ね、束ねた毎に貫通導体を設けても良い。それらの貫通導体間は上下千鳥配置なども含め均等に配置されている構成であることが良い。 In the semiconductor device of the present invention, it is preferable that a plurality of through conductors be evenly arranged on the insulating substrate 1. In this case, the resistance distribution and the voltage drop in the insulating substrate 1 become uniform, and heat concentration due to the heat generation of the plurality of through conductors in the insulating substrate 1 can be suppressed. As a result, it is possible to more effectively suppress the occurrence of a crack in the portion of the insulating layer 31 and the occurrence of a break in the connection portion between the through conductor and the wiring connected thereto. The configuration in which the plurality of through conductors are evenly arranged on the insulating substrate 1 is such that the heat distribution of the insulating substrate 1 becomes uniform when the plurality of through conductors generate heat. For example, when dividing the main surface of the rectangular insulating substrate 1 with a uniform area in a matrix, the number of through conductors and the number of divided portions are made to be the same. And a penetration conductor is arranged at the central part of each divided part. Although in FIG. 3 the through conductor is provided for each input line, it may be bundled for every plural wires, and may be provided for every bundle. It is preferable that the through conductors be evenly arranged including the upper and lower staggered arrangement.
図4(a)は、貫通導体は絶縁基板1に複数配置されているとともに、それらの貫通導体16k1〜16kn,17k1〜17knは、絶縁基板1の端1tとの距離が互いに異なるものを含んでおり、絶縁基板1の端1tに最も近い貫通導体16k1〜16knの平面視での各面積が、他の貫通導体17k1〜17knの平面視での各面積よりも大きい、好適な構成を示すものである。この場合、絶縁基板1の端1tに最も近い貫通導体16k1〜16knの抵抗を、他の貫通導体17k1〜17knの抵抗よりも小さくすることができる。従って、それらの貫通導体16k1〜16kn,17k1〜17knに電源電流等の大きな電流を流したとしても、貫通導体16k1〜16kn,17k1〜17knに接続される正電圧入力線16、負電圧入力線17における電圧降下のばらつきを小さくすることができる。即ち、貫通導体16k1〜16knは正電圧入力線16の端部において接続されているが、貫通導体16k1〜16knの抵抗が小さいために、正電圧入力線16における信号の電圧降下を小さくすることができる。従って、負電圧入力線17における信号の電圧降下と、正電圧入力線16における信号の電圧降下と、を同程度とすることができる。また、それらの貫通導体16k1〜16kn,17k1〜17knの放熱性のばらつきも小さくすることができる。従って、貫通導体16k1〜16kn,17k1〜17knの発熱による上記諸問題点の発生をより効果的に抑えることができる。 In FIG. 4A, a plurality of through conductors are arranged on the insulating substrate 1, and those through conductors 16k1 to 16kn and 17k1 to 17kn have different distances from the end 1t of the insulating substrate 1 from each other. In a preferred configuration, the area of the through conductor 16k1 to 16kn closest to the end 1t of the insulating substrate 1 in plan view is larger than the area of the other through conductors 17k1 to 17kn in plan view. is there. In this case, the resistance of the through conductors 16k1 to 16kn closest to the end 1t of the insulating substrate 1 can be smaller than the resistances of the other through conductors 17k1 to 17kn. Therefore, even if a large current such as a power supply current flows in the through conductors 16k1 to 16kn and 17k1 to 17kn, the positive voltage input line 16 and the negative voltage input line 17 connected to the through conductors 16k1 to 16kn and 17k1 to 17kn Variation of the voltage drop in the That is, although the through conductors 16k1 to 16kn are connected at the end of the positive voltage input line 16, the resistance of the through conductors 16k1 to 16kn is small, so that the voltage drop of the signal on the positive voltage input line 16 can be reduced. it can. Therefore, the voltage drop of the signal on the negative voltage input line 17 and the voltage drop of the signal on the positive voltage input line 16 can be made approximately the same. Further, the variation of the heat dissipation of the through conductors 16k1 to 16kn and 17k1 to 17kn can also be reduced. Therefore, the generation of the above-mentioned problems due to the heat generation of the through conductors 16k1 to 16kn and 17k1 to 17kn can be suppressed more effectively.
貫通導体16k1〜16knの平面視での各面積と、他の貫通導体17k1〜17knの平面視での各面積と、の比は、1.1倍〜5倍程度の範囲内で調整することができる。1.1倍未満では、上記の電圧降下のばらつきを小さくする効果、放熱性のばらつきも小さくする効果が得られにくい傾向がある。5倍を超えると、貫通導体16k1〜16knを配置するスペースが得られにくい傾向がある。好ましくは、1.5倍〜3倍程度の範囲内で調整することができる。 The ratio of each area of the through conductors 16k1 to 16kn in a plan view and each area of the other through conductors 17k1 to 17kn in a plan view may be adjusted within a range of about 1.1 times to 5 times. it can. If it is less than 1.1 times, the effect of reducing the variation of the voltage drop and the effect of reducing the variation of the heat dissipation tend to be hardly obtained. If it exceeds 5 times, the space for arranging the through conductors 16k1 to 16kn tends to be difficult to obtain. Preferably, it can be adjusted within the range of about 1.5 times to 3 times.
図4(a)の構成において、絶縁基板1の端1tに最も近い貫通導体16k1〜16knを流れる電流が、他の貫通導体17k1〜17knを流れる電流よりも大きいことが好ましい。この場合、絶縁基板1の端1tに最も近い貫通導体16k1〜16knの抵抗を、他の貫通導体17k1〜17knの抵抗よりも小さくしているので、絶縁基板1の端1tに最も近い貫通導体16k1〜16knに電源電流等の大きな電流を流すことができる。 In the configuration of FIG. 4A, the current flowing through the through conductors 16k1 to 16kn closest to the end 1t of the insulating substrate 1 is preferably larger than the current flowing through the other through conductors 17k1 to 17kn. In this case, since the resistance of the through conductor 16k1 to 16kn closest to the end 1t of the insulating substrate 1 is smaller than the resistance of the other through conductors 17k1 to 17kn, the through conductor 16k1 closest to the end 1t of the insulating substrate 1 A large current such as a power supply current can be supplied to ~ 16 kn.
図4(b)は、絶縁基板1が、側面に配置された側面導体16s1〜16sn,17s1〜17snを有しており、貫通導体16k1〜16kn,17k1〜17knのそれぞれは、側面導体16s1〜16sn,17s1〜17snのそれぞれに電気的に接続されている、好適な構成を示すものである。この場合、貫通導体16k1と側面導体16s1についてみたとき、貫通導体16k1と側面導体16s1のそれぞれに電流が分配されるので、貫通導体16k1を流れる電流が小さくなる。その結果、貫通導体16k1の発熱による上記諸問題点の発生をより効果的に抑えることができる。また、複数の貫通導体16k1〜16kn,17k1〜17knがある場合、貫通導体16k1〜16kn,17k1〜17knに接続された、正電圧入力線16及び負電圧入力線17のそれぞれにおける信号の電圧降下のばらつきを小さくすることができる。また、それらの貫通導体16k1〜16kn,17k1〜17knの放熱性のばらつきも小さくすることができる。 In FIG. 4B, the insulating substrate 1 has side conductors 16s1 to 16sn and 17s1 to 17sn arranged on the side surface, and the through conductors 16k1 to 16kn and 17k1 to 17kn respectively have side conductors 16s1 to 16sn , 17s1 to 17sn are shown to be electrically connected to each other. In this case, when the through conductor 16k1 and the side surface conductor 16s1 are viewed, the current is distributed to the through conductor 16k1 and the side surface conductor 16s1, respectively, so the current flowing through the through conductor 16k1 decreases. As a result, the occurrence of the above-mentioned problems due to the heat generation of the through conductor 16k1 can be suppressed more effectively. When there are a plurality of through conductors 16k1-16kn and 17k1-17kn, the voltage drop of the signal on each of positive voltage input line 16 and negative voltage input line 17 connected to through conductors 16k1-16kn and 17k1-17kn Variation can be reduced. Further, the variation of the heat dissipation of the through conductors 16k1 to 16kn and 17k1 to 17kn can also be reduced.
側面導体16s1〜16sn,17s1〜17snは、それぞれ絶縁基板1の側面の所定部位に、メッキ法、蒸着法、CVD法等の薄膜形成法等によって導体層を成膜する方法で形成される。あるいは、側面導体16s1〜16sn,17s1〜17snは、それぞれ絶縁基板1の側面の所定部位にエッチング法等によって溝を形成し、次にその溝に、メッキ法、蒸着法、CVD法等の薄膜形成法等によって導体層を成膜する方法で形成される。あるいは、側面導体16s1〜16sn,17s1〜17snは、それぞれ絶縁基板1の側面の所定部位に、銀(Ag)等の導電性粒子,樹脂成分,アルコール等を含む導体ペーストを塗布し焼成して導体層を作製する厚膜形成法等によって形成される。あるいは、側面導体16s1〜16sn,17s1〜17snは、それぞれ絶縁基板1の側面の所定部位にエッチング法等によって溝を形成し、次にその溝に導体ペーストを塗布し焼成して導体層を作製する厚膜形成法等によって形成される。 The side conductors 16s1 to 16sn and 17s1 to 17sn are formed on predetermined portions of the side surface of the insulating substrate 1 by a method of forming a conductor layer by a thin film forming method such as a plating method, a vapor deposition method or a CVD method. Alternatively, the side conductors 16s1 to 16sn and 17s1 to 17sn respectively form grooves in predetermined portions of the side surface of the insulating substrate 1 by etching or the like, and then form thin films such as plating, evaporation or CVD in the grooves The conductive layer is formed by a method such as a method. Alternatively, the side conductors 16s1 to 16sn and 17s1 to 17sn are formed by applying and baking a conductor paste containing silver (Ag) or other conductive particles, a resin component, alcohol or the like on predetermined portions of the side surface of the insulating substrate 1 respectively. It is formed by the thick film formation method etc. which produce a layer. Alternatively, the side conductors 16s1 to 16sn and 17s1 to 17sn respectively form a groove on a predetermined portion of the side surface of the insulating substrate 1 by an etching method or the like, and then apply a conductive paste to the groove and bake to form a conductive layer. It is formed by a thick film formation method or the like.
また側面導体16s1〜16sn,17s1〜17snは、銀(Ag),銅(Cu),アルミニウム(Al),モリブデン(Mo)等の導体材料から成る。さらに側面導体16s1〜16sn,17s1〜17snは、それぞれの幅が10μm〜1000μm程度である。 The side conductors 16s1 to 16sn and 17s1 to 17sn are made of a conductor material such as silver (Ag), copper (Cu), aluminum (Al), molybdenum (Mo) or the like. Furthermore, the width of each of the side conductors 16s1 to 16sn and 17s1 to 17sn is about 10 μm to 1000 μm.
また本発明の半導体装置は、絶縁基板1は、側面に側面導体16s1〜16sn,17s1〜17snと電気的に独立している側面配線1sが配置されていることが好ましい。この場合、TFT13のゲート電極に入力する走査信号等を側面配線1sを介して供給することができるので、貫通導体16k1〜16kn,17k1〜17knの数が増加することを抑えることができる。その結果、貫通導体16k1〜16kn,17k1〜17knの発熱による上記諸問題点の発生をより効果的に抑えることができる。勿論、TFT13のドレイン電極に入力する発光制御信号を側面配線1sを介して供給することもできる。側面配線1sは、上記の側面導体16s1〜16sn,17s1〜17snと同様の形成方法によって形成し得る。 In the semiconductor device of the present invention, preferably, the insulating substrate 1 is provided with the side wiring 1s electrically independent of the side conductors 16s1 to 16sn and 17s1 to 17sn on the side surface. In this case, since a scanning signal or the like input to the gate electrode of the TFT 13 can be supplied via the side wiring 1s, an increase in the number of through conductors 16k1 to 16kn and 17k1 to 17kn can be suppressed. As a result, it is possible to more effectively suppress the occurrence of the above-mentioned problems due to the heat generation of the through conductors 16k1 to 16kn and 17k1 to 17kn. Of course, a light emission control signal input to the drain electrode of the TFT 13 can also be supplied through the side wiring 1s. The side wiring 1s can be formed by the same formation method as the side conductors 16s1 to 16sn and 17s1 to 17sn described above.

This configuration produces the following effects. Since the through conductor 16k1 can be formed after the TFT 13 is formed, it is possible to suppress that the conductor constituting the through conductor 16k1 contaminate the semiconductor layer 13a of the TFT 13. Moreover, as a result of being able to suppress the occurrence of the various problems due to the heat generation of the through conductor 16k1, it is possible to manufacture a semiconductor device with high reliability and a long life.

本発明の半導体装置の製造方法は、貫通孔16k1をエッチング法によって形成し、絶縁基板1を貫通する孔をレーザ光照射法によって形成することが好ましい。この場合、絶縁基板1を貫通する孔の位置及び大きさを正確なものとして形成できる。その結果、放熱性に優れた貫通導体16k1を形成することが容易になる。 In the method of manufacturing a semiconductor device according to the present invention, it is preferable that the through holes 16k1 be formed by an etching method, and the holes penetrating the insulating substrate 1 be formed by a laser beam irradiation method. In this case, the position and size of the hole penetrating the insulating substrate 1 can be formed accurately. As a result, it becomes easy to form the through conductor 16k1 excellent in heat dissipation.
貫通孔16k1をエッチング法によって形成するには、絶縁層31上にフォトレジストを塗布して貫通孔16k1を形成するためのパターンを露光した後に、エッチング法により不要な絶縁層31の部位を除去することによって、形成し得る。エッチング法としては、弗酸等のエッチング液を用いるウェットエッチング法、四フッ化炭素ガス等のエッチングガスを用いるドライエッチング法等の公知のエッチング法を採用し得る。 In order to form the through holes 16k1 by etching, after applying a photoresist on the insulating layer 31 and exposing a pattern for forming the through holes 16k1, unnecessary portions of the insulating layer 31 are removed by etching. It can be formed by As an etching method, a known etching method such as a wet etching method using an etching solution such as hydrofluoric acid or a dry etching method using an etching gas such as carbon tetrafluoride gas can be employed.
絶縁基板1を貫通する孔をレーザ光照射法によって形成するには、光波長780nm〜1400nm程度の赤外線を発振する赤外線レーザ(Infrared Laser:IR)装置等を用いて形成し得る。赤外線は熱作用が大きく、IRレーザ光を用いると、鋼板、ガラス基板等の被照射部材の溶断、穴あけ等の加工が容易である。IRレーザ装置としては、炭酸ガス(CO2)レーザ装置、Nd:YAG(NdドープYAG)レーザ装置等のYAG(イットリウム・アルミニウム・ガーネット)レーザ装置等がある。YAGレーザ装置のレーザ光は、炭酸ガス(CO2)レーザ装置のレーザ光よりも短波長であり、加熱効率が高いために好適である。YAGレーザ装置のメリットとしては、熱が集中し、被照射部材への入熱が少ないために被照射部材の歪が少なくなること、パルス制御によって仕上がりが良好な孔の形状が得られること、光の焦点の大きさを変えることによって孔の大きさを制御できること、被照射部材の材料に対する依存性が小さく種々の材料の被照射部材を選択できること、がある。 In order to form the hole penetrating the insulating substrate 1 by a laser beam irradiation method, the hole may be formed using an infrared laser (IR) device or the like that oscillates an infrared ray with a light wavelength of about 780 nm to 1400 nm. Infrared rays have a large heat action, and when IR laser light is used, it is easy to process the members to be irradiated such as steel plates and glass substrates by melting, drilling and the like. Examples of the IR laser device include a carbon dioxide gas (CO 2 ) laser device, a YAG (yttrium aluminum garnet) laser device such as a Nd: YAG (Nd-doped YAG) laser device, and the like. The laser beam of the YAG laser device has a shorter wavelength than the laser beam of the carbon dioxide gas (CO 2 ) laser device, and is preferable because the heating efficiency is high. The merits of the YAG laser device are that heat is concentrated and the distortion of the irradiated member is reduced because the heat input to the irradiated member is small, and the shape of the hole with a good finish is obtained by pulse control, light The size of the hole can be controlled by changing the size of the focal point, and the dependence on the material of the irradiated member is small and the irradiated member of various materials can be selected.
また本発明の半導体装置の製造方法は、導体柱は銅柱であることが好ましい。この場合、高い導電性を有する貫通導体16k1を形成できる。従って、貫通導体16k1の発熱による上記諸問題点の発生をより抑えることができるとともに、貫通導体16k1を構成する銅(Cu)がTFTの半導体層を汚染することを抑えることができ、長寿命の半導体装置を製造できる。 Further, in the method of manufacturing a semiconductor device according to the present invention, the conductor posts are preferably copper posts. In this case, it is possible to form the through conductor 16k1 having high conductivity. Therefore, while being able to suppress generation | occurrence | production of the said problems by heat generation of penetration conductor 16k1 more, it can suppress that copper (Cu) which comprises penetration conductor 16k1 contaminates the semiconductor layer of TFT, and has a long life.
