Abstract
Description
本發明係有關於晶圓及其測試方法,且特別係有關於一種具有導電墊之晶圓及其測試方法。 The present invention relates to wafers and test methods thereof, and in particular to a wafer having a conductive pad and a test method therefor.
近年來由於對多重晶片封裝之需求日漸增加,因此業界對於已知良好晶粒之需求亦日漸提高。 In recent years, as the demand for multi-chip packages has increased, the demand for known good dies has also increased.
為了可在晶圓層級下即測得哪些晶片是良好的晶片,必需在晶圓層級中的多個階段中對每一個晶片作性能測試。例如,必需在高溫及低溫下對每一個晶片作測試,以得知各個晶片是否皆可良好運作。 In order to be able to measure which wafers are good wafers at the wafer level, it is necessary to perform a performance test on each of the wafers in multiple stages in the wafer level. For example, each wafer must be tested at high and low temperatures to see if each wafer is functioning properly.
然而,此測試步驟會在晶片的導電墊上留下缺陷,降低後續製程步驟的良率。且此測試步驟越多,在導電墊上留下的缺陷越嚴重。此外,傳統之晶圓測量方法必需各別對每一個晶片下一次探針(亦即接觸端子)以測量其性能,故此測量步驟耗時甚鉅。 However, this test step leaves defects on the conductive pads of the wafer, reducing the yield of subsequent processing steps. And the more this test step, the more serious the defects left on the conductive pads. In addition, the conventional wafer measurement method must measure the performance of each probe next time (ie, contact terminal) for each wafer, so the measurement step is time consuming.
因此,業界亟須一種可使測試步驟不影響後續製程步驟良率的晶圓及其測試方法,且此測試方法可縮短傳統測量步驟所需之時間。 Therefore, there is a need in the industry for a wafer and its test method that allows the test steps to not affect the yield of subsequent process steps, and this test method can shorten the time required for conventional measurement steps.

接著,參見第2圖,該圖為第1圖晶圓100之A部分 的放大圖。如第2圖所示,晶圓100包括第一晶片110a以及第二晶片110b。此第二晶片110b與第一晶片110a係併排設置(juxtapose),且第一晶片110a與第二晶片110b之相對側各具有相對應之多個第一晶片導電墊120a與多個第二晶片導電墊120b。此外,晶圓100包括多個第一外部導電墊130a,設於第一晶片110a與第二晶片110b之間。每一個第一外部導電墊130a與相對應之第一晶片導電墊120a及第二晶片導電墊120b電性連接,例如可藉由設於第一晶片110a與第二晶片110b之間的多條導線140a電性連接相對應的第一晶片導電墊120a、第二晶片導電墊120b及第一外部導電墊130a。此第一晶片導電墊120a、第二晶片導電墊120b及第一外部導電墊130a之材料可分別為單層或多層之金、鉻、鎳、鉑、鈦、鋁、銥、銠、銅、上述之組合或其它導電性佳的金屬材料。 Next, see Figure 2, which is part A of wafer 100 of Figure 1. Magnified view. As shown in FIG. 2, the wafer 100 includes a first wafer 110a and a second wafer 110b. The second wafer 110b is juxtaposed with the first wafer 110a, and the opposite sides of the first wafer 110a and the second wafer 110b each have a corresponding plurality of first wafer conductive pads 120a and a plurality of second wafers. Pad 120b. In addition, the wafer 100 includes a plurality of first outer conductive pads 130a disposed between the first wafer 110a and the second wafer 110b. Each of the first outer conductive pads 130a is electrically connected to the corresponding first and second wafer conductive pads 120a, 120b, for example, by a plurality of wires disposed between the first and second wafers 110a and 110b. The first wafer conductive pad 120a, the second wafer conductive pad 120b and the first outer conductive pad 130a are electrically connected. The materials of the first wafer conductive pad 120a, the second wafer conductive pad 120b and the first outer conductive pad 130a may be single layer or multiple layers of gold, chromium, nickel, platinum, titanium, aluminum, tantalum, niobium, copper, etc. Combination or other highly conductive metal material.
在對傳統之晶圓進行測試時,測試器之接觸端子(例如探針)會直接接觸晶片導電墊,故會在晶片導電墊上留下缺陷,並使後續製程的良率降低。例如,在後續製程中若要將接線接合至此晶片導電墊,導電墊上於測試步驟所留下缺陷可能會造成接線接合失敗。相較之下,由於本發明之晶圓100包括此第一外部導電墊130a,故在測試步驟中測試器之接觸端子可直接接觸此第一外部導電墊130a,而不接觸第一晶片導電墊120a及第二晶片導電墊120b。因此,在測試步驟結束後,第一晶片導電墊120a及第二晶片導電墊120b仍可保持完整且不具有缺陷,故可進一步提升後續製程的良率。例如,可提升後續將接線接合至此第一晶片導電墊120a及第二晶片導電墊120b 之良率。 When testing a conventional wafer, the contact terminals (such as probes) of the tester directly contact the wafer conductive pads, leaving defects on the wafer conductive pads and reducing the yield of subsequent processes. For example, if a wire is to be bonded to the wafer conductive pad in a subsequent process, the defect left on the conductive pad during the test step may cause the wire bond to fail. In contrast, since the wafer 100 of the present invention includes the first outer conductive pad 130a, the contact terminals of the tester can directly contact the first outer conductive pad 130a in the test step without contacting the first wafer conductive pad. 120a and a second wafer conductive pad 120b. Therefore, after the end of the testing step, the first wafer conductive pad 120a and the second wafer conductive pad 120b can remain intact and have no defects, so that the yield of the subsequent process can be further improved. For example, the subsequent bonding of the wires to the first wafer conductive pad 120a and the second wafer conductive pad 120b can be improved. Yield.
此外,本發明之晶圓於測試時,可同時測量一外部導電墊兩旁之晶片,因此,可大幅降低成本以及減少製程所需的時間。此部份將於本發明之晶圓測試方法中詳細說明。 In addition, the wafer of the present invention can simultaneously measure the wafers on both sides of an external conductive pad during testing, thereby greatly reducing the cost and reducing the time required for the process. This section will be described in detail in the wafer test method of the present invention.
繼續參見第2圖,在一實施例中,第一晶片110a與第二晶片110b相同,且第一晶片110a係相對於第二晶片110b反向設置。如第2圖所示,由於第一晶片110a係相對於第二晶片110b反向設置,故第一晶片110a之L型標號(箭號較靠近下方的第一晶片導電墊120a,且其箭頭方向為向右)與第二晶片110b之L型標號(箭號較靠近上方的第二晶片導電墊120b,且其箭頭方向為向左)反向設置。換句話說,第一晶片110a中位於上排左側第二個的第一晶片導電墊120a2與第二晶片110b中位於下排右側第二個的第二晶片導電墊120b2為相同之導電墊。 Continuing to refer to FIG. 2, in one embodiment, the first wafer 110a is the same as the second wafer 110b, and the first wafer 110a is disposed opposite to the second wafer 110b. As shown in FIG. 2, since the first wafer 110a is disposed opposite to the second wafer 110b, the first wafer 110a has an L-shaped designation (the first wafer conductive pad 120a with the arrow is closer to the lower side, and the arrow direction thereof The L-shaped label (to the right) and the second wafer 110b (the second wafer conductive pad 120b whose arrow is closer to the upper side, and whose arrow direction is leftward) is reversely disposed. In other words, the first wafer conductive pad 120a 2 of the first wafer on the left side of the upper row and the second wafer conductive pad 120b 2 of the second wafer 110b of the second row 110b of the second row 110b are the same conductive pads. .
繼續參見第2圖,在一實施例中,第一外部導電墊130a係位於第一晶片110a與第二晶片110b之間的切割道SC1上。此切割道SC1之寬度可為第一外部導電墊130a之寬度的約1.5-10倍,例如為約2-5倍。需注意的是,若此切割道SC1之寬度過寬,例如寬於第一外部導電墊130a之寬度的約10倍,則切割道SC1會佔據過多晶圓100之面積,降低晶片的產出量。然而若此切割道SC1之寬度過窄,例如窄於第一外部導電墊130a之寬度的約1.5倍,則會使切割時所產生之裂痕或缺陷容易進入第一晶片110a與第二晶片110b中,造成良率降低。 Continuing to refer to FIG. 2, in one embodiment, the first outer conductive pad 130a is located on the scribe line SC1 between the first wafer 110a and the second wafer 110b. The width of the scribe line SC1 may be about 1.5-10 times the width of the first outer conductive pad 130a, for example, about 2-5 times. It should be noted that if the width of the scribe line SC1 is too wide, for example, about 10 times wider than the width of the first outer conductive pad 130a, the scribe line SC1 will occupy the area of the excess wafer 100, reducing the throughput of the wafer. . However, if the width of the scribe line SC1 is too narrow, for example, narrower than about 1.5 times the width of the first outer conductive pad 130a, cracks or defects generated during dicing are easily entered into the first wafer 110a and the second wafer 110b. , resulting in lower yield.
參見第3圖,該圖係本發明實施例之晶圓延著第2圖之線段3-3所繪之剖面圖。如第3圖所示,晶圓100具有基板S 以及形成於其上之內連線結構160。基板S可為半導體基板,例如矽基板。內連線結構160包括金屬層Mtop、Mn、Mn-1、介電層Dtop、Dn及Dn-1以及形成於介電層(例如介電層Dtop)中的導孔170、170、170。金屬層Mtop、Mn、Mn-1之間彼此上下電性連接。金屬層Mtop、Mn、Mn-1之材料可為鋁、鋁矽銅合金、銅、鈦、氮化鈦、鎢、多晶矽、金屬矽化物、或上述之組合,而介電層Dtop、Dn及Dn-1之材料可為一或多層之氧化矽、氮化矽、氮氧化矽、硼磷矽玻璃、磷矽玻璃、旋塗式玻璃、低介電常數介電材料、或其它任何適合之介電材料、或上述之組合。金屬層Mtop為頂金屬層Mtop,亦即其為內連線結構160中最靠近第一晶片導電墊120a、第二晶片導電墊120b及第一外部導電墊130a之金屬層。而金屬層Mn為位於頂金屬層Mtop下之第一層金屬層,金屬層Mn-1為位於頂金屬層Mtop下之第二層金屬層。 Referring to Fig. 3, there is shown a cross-sectional view of the wafer of the embodiment of the present invention extending along line 3-3 of Fig. 2.

由於本發明之晶圓100可更包括此第二外部導電墊130b,故在測試步驟中測試器之接觸端子可直接接觸此第二外部導電墊130b,而不接觸第三晶片導電墊120c。因此,在測 試步驟結束後,第三晶片導電墊120c仍可保持完整且不具有缺陷,故可進一步提升後續製程的良率。 Since the wafer 100 of the present invention can further include the second outer conductive pad 130b, the contact terminals of the tester can directly contact the second outer conductive pad 130b in the test step without contacting the third wafer conductive pad 120c.

由於本發明之晶圓100可更包括此第三外部導電墊130c,故在測試步驟中測試器之接觸端子可直接接觸此第三外部導電墊130c,而不接觸第四晶片導電墊120d。因此,在測試步驟結束後,第四晶片導電墊120d仍可保持完整且不具有缺陷,故可進一步提升後續製程的良率。 Since the wafer 100 of the present invention can further include the third outer conductive pad 130c, the contact terminals of the tester can directly contact the third outer conductive pad 130c in the test step without contacting the fourth wafer conductive pad 120d. Therefore, after the end of the test step, the fourth wafer conductive pad 120d can remain intact and has no defects, so the yield of the subsequent process can be further improved.
在一實施例中,如第2圖所示,第四晶片110d與第一晶片110a、第二晶片110b及第三晶片110c相同。第四晶片110d係相對於第三晶片110c、第二晶片110b反向設置,且第四晶片110d係相對於第一晶片110a同向設置。 In one embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, the fourth wafer 110d is the same as the first wafer 110a, the second wafer 110b, and the third wafer 110c.

應注意的是,雖然上述實施例僅以四個晶片作為 範例說明,然而本技術領域中具有通常知識者可知本發明之結構可應用於具有更多晶片之結構,而不限於本發明所舉之實施例。 It should be noted that although the above embodiment uses only four wafers as For example, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the structure of the present invention is applicable to structures having more wafers and is not limited to the embodiments of the present invention.
由以下測試方法的說明可進一步看出本發明的優點。第4-6圖係本發明實施例之晶圓在其測試步驟中延著第2圖之線段3-3所繪之剖面圖。在一實施例中,如第4圖所示,先提供上述之晶圓100。接著,提供測試器180。此測試器180具有多個接觸端子190a。應注意的是,由於第4圖為剖面圖,故雖然測試器180具有多個接觸端子190a,但第4圖僅繪示出一個接觸端子190a。 The advantages of the present invention are further apparent from the description of the following test methods. 4-6 are cross-sectional views of the wafer of the embodiment of the present invention which are depicted in the test step by the line 3-3 of Fig. 2. In one embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, the wafer 100 described above is first provided. Next, a tester 180 is provided. This tester 180 has a plurality of contact terminals 190a. It should be noted that since FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view, although the tester 180 has a plurality of contact terminals 190a, FIG. 4 only shows one contact terminal 190a.
接著,將多個接觸端子190a電性連接多個第一外部導電墊130a,以測試第一晶片110a及/或第二晶片110b。例如,可藉由開關電路150控制每一個外部導電墊與其兩側之晶片導電墊為電性連接或電性絕緣。在一實施例中,如第2圖及第4圖所示,開關電路150可控制第一外部導電墊130a與第一晶片導電墊120a、第二晶片導電墊120b之間皆為電性連接,使測試器180可同時測試第一晶片110a及第二晶片110b。在其它實施例中,開關電路150可控制第一外部導電墊130a與第一晶片導電墊120a之間、以及第一外部導電墊130a與第二晶片導電墊120b之間其中一者為電性連接,另一者為電性絕緣,以使測試器180可單獨測試第一晶片110a或第二晶片110b。 Next, the plurality of contact terminals 190a are electrically connected to the plurality of first outer conductive pads 130a to test the first wafer 110a and/or the second wafer 110b. For example, each of the external conductive pads can be electrically connected or electrically insulated from the wafer conductive pads on both sides thereof by the switch circuit 150. In an embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 4, the switch circuit 150 can control the electrical connection between the first outer conductive pad 130a and the first wafer conductive pad 120a and the second wafer conductive pad 120b. The tester 180 can simultaneously test the first wafer 110a and the second wafer 110b. In other embodiments, the switch circuit 150 can control one of the first outer conductive pad 130a and the first wafer conductive pad 120a, and the first outer conductive pad 130a and the second wafer conductive pad 120b to be electrically connected. The other is electrically insulated so that the tester 180 can test the first wafer 110a or the second wafer 110b separately.
此接觸端子190a可包括彈簧探針(pogo pin)、探針(probe pin)、導電墊或其它任何適合之接觸端子。 The contact terminal 190a can include a pogo pin, a probe pin, a conductive pad, or any other suitable contact terminal.
在另一實施例中,如第5圖所示,測試器180包括 接觸端子190a、190b,且晶圓100之測試方法更包括將多個接觸端子190a、190b分別同時電性連接多個第一外部導電墊130a及多個第二外部導電墊130b,以測試第一晶片110a、第二晶片110b及/或第三晶片110c。 In another embodiment, as shown in FIG. 5, the tester 180 includes Contacting the terminals 190a, 190b, and the testing method of the wafer 100 further includes electrically connecting the plurality of contact terminals 190a, 190b to the plurality of first outer conductive pads 130a and the plurality of second outer conductive pads 130b, respectively, to test the first Wafer 110a, second wafer 110b, and/or third wafer 110c.
在另一實施例中,如第6圖所示,測試器180包括接觸端子190a、190b、190c,且晶圓100之測試方法更包括將多個接觸端子190a、接觸端子190b以及接觸端子190c分別同時電性連接多個第一外部導電墊130a、多個第二外部導電墊130b以及多個第三外部導電墊130c,以測試第一晶片110a、第二晶片110b、第三晶片110c及/或第四晶片110d。 In another embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6, the tester 180 includes contact terminals 190a, 190b, and 190c, and the test method of the wafer 100 further includes a plurality of contact terminals 190a, contact terminals 190b, and contact terminals 190c, respectively. Simultaneously electrically connecting the plurality of first outer conductive pads 130a, the plurality of second outer conductive pads 130b, and the plurality of third outer conductive pads 130c to test the first wafer 110a, the second wafer 110b, the third wafer 110c, and/or The fourth wafer 110d.
傳統之晶圓測量方法必需各別對每一個晶片下一次探針(亦即將接觸端子電性連接每一個晶片所對應之導電墊)以測量其性能,或者是需要數倍的探針數來同時測試多個晶片。例如,若晶圓有四個晶片要測試,則必需下四次探針,或者是需要四倍的探針數來同時測試四個晶片。反之,由於本發明之晶圓100之測試方法係以電性連接位於晶片之間的外部導電墊之方式測量,故可同時測量一外部導電墊兩旁之晶片,因此,可大幅降低所需的探針數,於同一次下探針的步驟中測量多個晶片。例如,於第6圖所示之實施例中,由於接觸端子190a、接觸端子190b以及接觸端子190c分別同時電性連接多個第一外部導電墊130a、多個第二外部導電墊130b以及多個第三外部導電墊130c,故可於同一次下探針的步驟中測量第一晶片110a、第二晶片110b、第三晶片110c及/或第四晶片110d之性能,相較於傳統之測量方法,可大幅降低成本以及減少製程所 需的時間。 The traditional wafer measurement method must separately measure the next probe of each wafer (that is, the contact pad is electrically connected to the corresponding conductive pad of each wafer) to measure its performance, or it needs several times the number of probes to simultaneously Test multiple wafers. For example, if a wafer has four wafers to test, the next four probes are required, or four times the number of probes is required to test four wafers simultaneously. On the contrary, since the testing method of the wafer 100 of the present invention is measured by electrically connecting the external conductive pads between the wafers, the wafers on both sides of the external conductive pads can be simultaneously measured, thereby greatly reducing the required exploration. The number of stitches is measured in the same step of the lower probe. For example, in the embodiment shown in FIG. 6, the contact terminal 190a, the contact terminal 190b, and the contact terminal 190c are electrically connected to the plurality of first outer conductive pads 130a, the plurality of second outer conductive pads 130b, and the plurality of The third outer conductive pad 130c can measure the performance of the first wafer 110a, the second wafer 110b, the third wafer 110c, and/or the fourth wafer 110d in the same step of lowering the probe, compared to the conventional measuring method. Can significantly reduce costs and reduce process Time required.
應注意的是,雖然上述實施例僅以四個晶片作為範例說明本發明之晶圓測量方法,然而本技術領域中具有通常知識者可知本發明之測量方法可應用於測量具有更多晶片之晶圓,而不限於本發明所舉之實施例。 It should be noted that although the above embodiment illustrates the wafer measuring method of the present invention with only four wafers as an example, it is known to those skilled in the art that the measuring method of the present invention can be applied to measuring crystals having more wafers. The circle is not limited to the embodiments of the invention.
綜上所述,由於本發明之晶圓包括此外部導電墊,故在測試步驟中測試器之接觸端子可直接接觸此外部導電墊,而不接觸晶片導電墊。因此,在測試步驟結束後,本發明之晶圓的晶片導電墊仍可保持完整且不具有缺陷,故可進一步提升後續製程的良率。此外,由於本發明之晶圓之測試方法係以電性連接位於晶片之間的外部導電墊之方式測量,故可增加於同一次下探針的步驟中測量的晶片數,大幅降低成本以及減少製程所需的時間。 In summary, since the wafer of the present invention includes the external conductive pad, the contact terminals of the tester can directly contact the external conductive pad in the test step without contacting the wafer conductive pad. Therefore, after the test step is completed, the wafer conductive pad of the wafer of the present invention can remain intact and has no defects, so that the yield of the subsequent process can be further improved. In addition, since the test method of the wafer of the present invention is measured by electrically connecting the external conductive pads between the wafers, the number of wafers measured in the same step of the lower probe can be increased, and the cost and the reduction are greatly reduced. The time required for the process.
