Furthermore, the semiconductor chip and silicon interposer were bonded via bumps. Therefore, conventional semiconductor packages had the problem of a large distance between the transistors formed on the semiconductor chip and the deep trench capacitor.

(Semiconductor package)
Before describing the logic semiconductor device 1 in detail, an example of how the logic semiconductor device 1 is used will be described. Fig. 2 is a diagram showing an overview of a semiconductor package 100. The logic semiconductor device 1 can constitute a part of the semiconductor package 100.

(半導体パッケージ)
 ここで、図9を参照して従来の半導体パッケージ200について説明する。図9は従来の半導体パッケージ200の概要を示す図である。なお、以下の説明において、図2を参照して説明した事項の説明は省略する。従来の半導体パッケージ200では、図2に示したロジック半導体装置1と同様の機能を有する部分が、シリコンチップ210とインターポーザ220との2つの部品によって構成されている。インターポーザ220には、貫通ビア222およびトレンチキャパシタ224が形成されている。そして、シリコンチップ210とインターポーザ220とは、ボール状のシリコンチップ半田部212(はんだバンプ)を介して接続されている。また、インターポーザ220は、ボール状のインターポーザ半田部226(はんだバンプ)を介してパッケージ基板110と接続されている。
(Semiconductor package)
A conventional semiconductor package 200 will now be described with reference to FIG. 9 . FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an overview of the conventional semiconductor package 200. Note that in the following description, the matters described with reference to FIG. 2 will not be described again. In the conventional semiconductor package 200, a portion having the same function as the logic semiconductor device 1 shown in FIG. 2 is composed of two components: a silicon chip 210 and an interposer 220. The interposer 220 has through vias 222 and trench capacitors 224 formed therein.

 図2および図9に示すように、本実施形態のロジック半導体装置1は、従来のシリコンチップ210およびインターポーザ220を1つの部品にすることを可能にする。これによって、本実施形態のロジック半導体装置1は、半導体チップとトレンチキャパシタとの距離を短くすることができる。また、本実施形態のロジック半導体装置1は、半導体パッケージ100の厚みを薄くすること、および半導体パッケージ100の構成を簡素にすることができる。 As shown in Figures 2 and 9, the logic semiconductor device 1 of this embodiment makes it possible to combine the conventional silicon chip 210 and interposer 220 into a single component. As a result, the logic semiconductor device 1 of this embodiment can shorten the distance between the semiconductor chip and the trench capacitor. Furthermore, the logic semiconductor device 1 of this embodiment can reduce the thickness of the semiconductor package 100 and simplify the configuration of the semiconductor package 100.

 ロジック半導体装置1について具体的に説明する。図3はチップウエハ310とキャパシタウエハ350とが接合される様子を示す図である。図3の矢印301で示す図は、チップウエハ310のチップウエハ接合面311の概要を示している。チップウエハ310とは、シリコンチップ部10が複数個形成されたシリコンウエハのことである。チップウエハ310は後に説明するキャパシタウエハ350と接合される。チップウエハ310のキャパシタウエハ350と接合される面をチップウエハ接合面311とよぶ。チップウエハ310のチップウエハ接合面311とは反対側の面をチップウエハ裏面312とよぶ。 The logic semiconductor device 1 will now be described in detail. Figure 3 is a diagram showing how the chip wafer 310 and capacitor wafer 350 are bonded together. The diagram indicated by arrow 301 in Figure 3 shows an overview of the chip wafer bonding surface 311 of the chip wafer 310. The chip wafer 310 is a silicon wafer on which a plurality of silicon chip portions 10 are formed. The chip wafer 310 is bonded to the capacitor wafer 350, which will be described later. The surface of the chip wafer 310 that is bonded to the capacitor wafer 350 is called the chip wafer bonding surface 311. The surface of the chip wafer 310 opposite the chip wafer bonding surface 311 is called the chip wafer back surface 312.

 図3の矢印302で示す図は、チップウエハ310とキャパシタウエハ350とが接合される前の様子を示す図である。キャパシタウエハ350とは、キャパシタ部50が複数個形成されたシリコンウエハのことである。キャパシタウエハ350のチップウエハ310と接合される面をキャパシタウエハ接合面351とよぶ。 The diagram indicated by arrow 302 in Figure 3 shows the state before the chip wafer 310 and capacitor wafer 350 are bonded. The capacitor wafer 350 is a silicon wafer on which multiple capacitor sections 50 are formed. The surface of the capacitor wafer 350 that is bonded to the chip wafer 310 is called the capacitor wafer bonding surface 351.

 チップウエハ310とキャパシタウエハ350とを接合させる際、チップウエハ310のチップウエハ接合面311と、キャパシタウエハ350のキャパシタウエハ接合面351とを対向させる。図3に示す例では、矢印361に示すようにチップウエハ310を反転させて、チップウエハ310のチップウエハ接合面311と、キャパシタウエハ350のキャパシタウエハ接合面351とを対向させる。 When bonding the chip wafer 310 and the capacitor wafer 350, the chip wafer bonding surface 311 of the chip wafer 310 is opposed to the capacitor wafer bonding surface 351 of the capacitor wafer 350. In the example shown in Figure 3, the chip wafer 310 is inverted as indicated by arrow 361, so that the chip wafer bonding surface 311 of the chip wafer 310 is opposed to the capacitor wafer bonding surface 351 of the capacitor wafer 350.

 シリコンチップ部10とキャパシタ部50とは、チップウエハ310とキャパシタウエハ350とが重ね合わされた際に個々のシリコンチップ部10とキャパシタ部50とが位置ずれなく接合されるように、各々のウエハにおいて互いに対応した位置に形成されている。図4Aおよび図4Bを参照して説明する。図4Aは、キャパシタウエハ350のキャパシタウエハ接合面351を示す図である。図4Bは、チップウエハ310のチップウエハ接合面311を図3の矢印363の方向に透視した様子を示す図である。図4Aおよび図4Bに示すように、キャパシタ部50とシリコンチップ部10とは、キャパシタウエハ350とチップウエハ310とが重ね合わされた際に互いに位置ずれなく接するように各ウエハに配置されている。なお、図4Aおよび図4Bに示され符号において説明していない符号は、図6および図7を参照して後に説明する。 The silicon chip units 10 and capacitor units 50 are formed at corresponding positions on each wafer so that when the chip wafer 310 and capacitor wafer 350 are superimposed on each other, the individual silicon chip units 10 and capacitor units 50 are bonded without misalignment. This will be explained with reference to Figures 4A and 4B. Figure 4A is a diagram showing the capacitor wafer bonding surface 351 of the capacitor wafer 350. Figure 4B is a diagram showing the chip wafer bonding surface 311 of the chip wafer 310 as viewed in the direction of arrow 363 in Figure 3. As shown in Figures 4A and 4B, the capacitor units 50 and silicon chip units 10 are arranged on each wafer so that when the capacitor wafer 350 and chip wafer 310 are superimposed on each other, they come into contact with each other without misalignment. Note that the symbols shown in Figures 4A and 4B but not explained will be explained later with reference to Figures 6 and 7.

 図3に戻り、チップウエハ310を矢印361のように反転させた後、矢印363に示すようにチップウエハ310およびキャパシタウエハ350のうちの少なくとも一方を相対的に移動させて、チップウエハ接合面311とキャパシタウエハ接合面351とを接触させる。 Returning to Figure 3, after the chip wafer 310 is inverted as indicated by arrow 361, at least one of the chip wafer 310 and the capacitor wafer 350 is moved relatively as indicated by arrow 363, bringing the chip wafer bonding surface 311 and the capacitor wafer bonding surface 351 into contact.

 このようにして、チップウエハ310に形成されたシリコンチップ部10と、キャパシタウエハ350に形成されたキャパシタ部50とを接触させ、接合させる。 In this way, the silicon chip portion 10 formed on the chip wafer 310 and the capacitor portion 50 formed on the capacitor wafer 350 are brought into contact and bonded.

 シリコンチップ部10とキャパシタ部50との接合について具体的に説明する。以下の説明では、チップウエハ310に形成された複数個のシリコンチップ部10のうちの1個と、キャパシタウエハ350に形成された複数個のキャパシタ部50のうちの1個とに着目して、シリコンチップ部10とキャパシタ部50との接合について説明する。 The bonding between the silicon chip portion 10 and the capacitor portion 50 will be described in detail. In the following explanation, the bonding between the silicon chip portion 10 and the capacitor portion 50 will be described, focusing on one of the multiple silicon chip portions 10 formed on the chip wafer 310 and one of the multiple capacitor portions 50 formed on the capacitor wafer 350.

(接合前)
 図5は、シリコンチップ部10とキャパシタ部50とが接合される前の状態を示す図である。図5の矢印151で示す方向および矢印152で示す方向は、いずれもZ方向に沿う方向である。矢印151で示す方向と矢印152で示す方向とは対向している。
(Before joining)
5 is a diagram showing the state before the silicon chip unit 10 and the capacitor unit 50 are bonded together. The directions indicated by arrows 151 and 152 in Fig. 5 are both along the Z direction. The directions indicated by arrows 151 and 152 are opposite to each other.

 シリコンチップ部10とキャパシタ部50とは、シリコンチップ部10を矢印151の方向にキャパシタ部50に対して相対的に移動させ、キャパシタ部50を矢印151の方向にシリコンチップ部10に対して相対的に移動させることで接合される。これによって、ロジック半導体装置1が形成される。 The silicon chip portion 10 and the capacitor portion 50 are bonded by moving the silicon chip portion 10 relative to the capacitor portion 50 in the direction of arrow 151, and then moving the capacitor portion 50 relative to the silicon chip portion 10 in the direction of arrow 151. In this way, the logic semiconductor device 1 is formed.

 キャパシタ部50とシリコンチップ部10とは、キャパシタ部接合面51とチップ部接合面11とが接合することで接合される。そこで、図6および図7を参照して、キャパシタ部接合面51およびチップ部接合面11について説明する。図6はキャパシタ部接合面51を示す図である。図7はチップ部接合面11を示す図である。図6および図7は、いずれも、図5に示す矢印153の方向に対象を見た場合の様子を示している。矢印153の方向は、Z方向における(+)側から(-)側を見る方向である。なお、図7に示すチップ部接合面11は、シリコン基板部12、トランジスタ層14および配線層16を超えて矢印153の方向にチップ部接合面11を透視した場合の様子を示している。つまり、図5の矢印154に示すように、配線層16の内部から、言い換えるとチップ部接合面11の裏面11Rから、チップ部接合面11を見た場合のチップ部接合面11の様子を示している。 The capacitor portion 50 and the silicon chip portion 10 are bonded by bonding the capacitor portion bonding surface 51 and the chip portion bonding surface 11. The capacitor portion bonding surface 51 and the chip portion bonding surface 11 will now be described with reference to Figures 6 and 7. Figure 6 is a diagram showing the capacitor portion bonding surface 51. Figure 7 is a diagram showing the chip portion bonding surface 11. Both Figures 6 and 7 show the object when viewed in the direction of arrow 153 shown in Figure 5. The direction of arrow 153 is the direction looking from the (+) side to the (-) side in the Z direction. Note that the chip portion bonding surface 11 shown in Figure 7 shows the chip portion bonding surface 11 when viewed in the direction of arrow 153, beyond the silicon substrate portion 12, transistor layer 14, and wiring layer 16. In other words, as shown by arrow 154 in Figure 5, this shows the chip portion bonding surface 11 when viewed from inside the wiring layer 16, in other words, from the back surface 11R of the chip portion bonding surface 11.

 まず、図6を参照してキャパシタ部接合面51について説明する。キャパシタ部接合面51には、キャパシタ部絶縁部52が露出している。また、キャパシタ部接合面51には、貫通電極54、キャパシタ電極62および接続配線77が配置されている。言い換えると、キャパシタ部接合面51では、キャパシタ部絶縁部52の中に貫通電極54、キャパシタ電極62および接続配線77が配置されている。キャパシタ部接合面51は、キャパシタ部絶縁部52、貫通電極54、キャパシタ電極62および接続配線77によって覆われている。
(Capacitor joint surface)
First, the capacitor portion bonding surface 51 will be described with reference to Fig. 6. The capacitor portion insulating portion 52 is exposed on the capacitor portion bonding surface 51. Furthermore, the through electrodes 54, the capacitor electrodes 62, and the connection wiring 77 are arranged on the capacitor portion bonding surface 51. In other words, on the capacitor portion bonding surface 51, the through electrodes 54, the capacitor electrodes 62, and the connection wiring 77 are arranged within the capacitor portion insulating portion 52. The capacitor portion bonding surface 51 is covered with the capacitor portion insulating portion 52, the through electrodes 54, the capacitor electrodes 62, and the connection wiring 77.

(貫通電極)
 貫通電極54とは、キャパシタ部50に形成されている貫通ビア53と電気的に接続された電極のことである。貫通電極54は、貫通ビア53の端部がキャパシタ部接合面51に露出した部分である。
(Through electrode)
The through electrode 54 is an electrode electrically connected to the through via 53 formed in the capacitor section 50. The through electrode 54 is a portion where the end of the through via 53 is exposed on the capacitor section bonding surface 51.

 貫通電極54は、キャパシタ部接合面51に複数個配置されている。貫通電極54の個数は、キャパシタ部50に形成されている貫通ビア53の個数に対応している。通常、貫通電極54は、1個の貫通ビア53に対して1個形成されている。 Multiple through electrodes 54 are arranged on the capacitor section bonding surface 51. The number of through electrodes 54 corresponds to the number of through vias 53 formed in the capacitor section 50. Typically, one through electrode 54 is formed for each through via 53.

 貫通電極54の配列の態様は、キャパシタ部50に形成されている貫通ビア53の配列の態様に対応している。図6に示す例では、貫通電極54は、マトリクス状に配列しているが、貫通電極は配列に特に制限はない。 The arrangement of the through electrodes 54 corresponds to the arrangement of the through vias 53 formed in the capacitor section 50. In the example shown in Figure 6, the through electrodes 54 are arranged in a matrix, but there are no particular restrictions on the arrangement of the through electrodes.

 貫通電極54の平面形状は円形である。これは貫通ビア53が円柱形状を有しているためである。貫通ビアの断面形状は、円形に限定されず、ドーナツ状、四角状などでも良い。 The planar shape of the through electrode 54 is circular. This is because the through via 53 has a cylindrical shape. The cross-sectional shape of the through via is not limited to circular, and may be donut-shaped, rectangular, etc.

 貫通電極54の材料は、貫通ビア53を形成する材料と同じにすることができる。貫通電極54の材料の例は銅である。ただし、貫通電極54の材料は、銅に限定されない。また、貫通電極54の材料は、貫通ビア53を形成する材料と異なっていてもよい。 The material of the through electrode 54 can be the same as the material that forms the through via 53. An example of a material for the through electrode 54 is copper. However, the material for the through electrode 54 is not limited to copper. Furthermore, the material for the through electrode 54 may be different from the material that forms the through via 53.

(trench capacitor)
Here, an outline of the configuration of the trench capacitor 60 will be described. FIG. 8 is a diagram showing a cross section of the trench capacitor 60. The position of line segment 155-156 in FIG. 8 corresponds to the position of line segment 155-156 in FIG. 6.

The capacitor electrode 62 includes a first capacitor electrode 64 and a second capacitor electrode 65.

 誘電体層66は、第1の電極層68と第2の電極層69とによって挟まれている。誘電体層66の材料は、特には限定されない。誘電率が大きい材料を用いることでキャパシタンスを大きくすることができ、酸化ケイ素、窒化ケイ素、酸化タンタル、酸化チタン、酸化ハフニウム、ハフニウムシリケート、HfSiON,HfAlONなどを用いることができる。誘電体層66に容量が形成される。第1のキャパシタ電極64は、第1の電極層68に接続されたキャパシタ電極62である。第2のキャパシタ電極65は、第2の電極層69に接続されたキャパシタ電極62である。 The dielectric layer 66 is sandwiched between a first electrode layer 68 and a second electrode layer 69. There are no particular restrictions on the material of the dielectric layer 66. Capacitance can be increased by using a material with a high dielectric constant, and examples of materials that can be used include silicon oxide, silicon nitride, tantalum oxide, titanium oxide, hafnium oxide, hafnium silicate, HfSiON, and HfAlON.

(キャパシタ電極)
 図6に戻り、引き続きキャパシタ電極62について説明する。図6に示す第1のキャパシタ電極64および第2のキャパシタ電極65は、図8を参照して説明したトレンチキャパシタ60の第1のキャパシタ電極64および第2のキャパシタ電極65がキャパシタ部接合面51に露出した部分である。第1のキャパシタ電極64と第2のキャパシタ電極65とは、キャパシタ部接合面51においてキャパシタ部絶縁部52を介して隔てられている。
(capacitor electrode)
Returning to Fig. 6 , the capacitor electrode 62 will be described. The first capacitor electrode 64 and the second capacitor electrode 65 shown in Fig. 6 are the first capacitor electrode 64 and the second capacitor electrode 65 of the trench capacitor 60 described with reference to Fig. 8 that are exposed at the capacitor portion bonding surface 51. The first capacitor electrode 64 and the second capacitor electrode 65 are separated from each other at the capacitor portion bonding surface 51 by the capacitor portion insulating portion 52.

 図6に示す例では、第1のキャパシタ電極64および第2のキャパシタ電極65の形状は四角形である。ただし、第1のキャパシタ電極64および第2のキャパシタ電極65の形状は、四角形に限定されない。また、図6に示す例では、第1のキャパシタ電極64の大きさは、第2のキャパシタ電極65の大きさよりも小さい。ただし、第1のキャパシタ電極64および第2のキャパシタ電極65の大きさは、図6に示す例に限定されない。 In the example shown in FIG. 6, the first capacitor electrode 64 and the second capacitor electrode 65 are rectangular in shape. However, the shapes of the first capacitor electrode 64 and the second capacitor electrode 65 are not limited to rectangular. Also, in the example shown in FIG. 6, the size of the first capacitor electrode 64 is smaller than the size of the second capacitor electrode 65. However, the sizes of the first capacitor electrode 64 and the second capacitor electrode 65 are not limited to the example shown in FIG. 6.

 キャパシタ電極62の材料は、例えば銅である。ただし、キャパシタ電極62の材料は、銅に限定されない。 The material of the capacitor electrode 62 is, for example, copper. However, the material of the capacitor electrode 62 is not limited to copper.

(接続配線)
 接続配線77とは、貫通電極54とキャパシタ電極62とを電気的に接続する配線のことである。接続配線77は、第1の接続配線78および第2の接続配線79を含む。
(Connection wiring)
The connection wiring 77 is a wiring that electrically connects the through electrode 54 and the capacitor electrode 62. The connection wiring 77 includes a first connection wiring 78 and a second connection wiring 79.

 第1のキャパシタ電極64に近接する貫通電極54を第1の貫通電極55とよぶ。第1の接続配線78は、第1の貫通電極55と第1のキャパシタ電極64とを接続する接続配線77である。 The through electrode 54 adjacent to the first capacitor electrode 64 is called the first through electrode 55. The first connection wiring 78 is the connection wiring 77 that connects the first through electrode 55 and the first capacitor electrode 64.

 第2のキャパシタ電極65に近接する貫通電極54を第2の貫通電極56とよぶ。第2の接続配線79は、第2の貫通電極56と第2のキャパシタ電極65とを接続する接続配線77である。 The through electrode 54 adjacent to the second capacitor electrode 65 is called the second through electrode 56. The second connection wiring 79 is the connection wiring 77 that connects the second through electrode 56 and the second capacitor electrode 65.

(電源線および接地線)
 図6に示す例において、例えば第1の貫通電極55を電源線(パワーライン)に対応させ、第2の貫通電極56を接地線(グランドライン)に対応させることができる。これによって、パワーラインとグランドラインとの間にトレンチキャパシタ60を接続することができる。
(power line and ground line)
6, for example, the first through electrode 55 can correspond to a power line, and the second through electrode 56 can correspond to a ground line, thereby allowing the trench capacitor 60 to be connected between the power line and the ground line.

 ここで、トランジスの動作はトランジスタへの電荷供給および放出を伴う。そのためスイッチングノイズがパワーラインに発生する。トランジスタの安定した高速の動作を実現するためには、スイッチングノイズの手減が重要である。これを実現するには、電荷を保持できる大容量のキャパシタをできるだけトランジスの近くに設置することが有効である。本実施形態のロジック半導体装置1では、トランジスタ層14からのパワーラインなどをバンプなどを介することなくトレンチキャパシタ60と接続することができる。そのため、従来、バンプを介することによって生じていた数百マイクロメーターからミリメーターの接続距離を省くことができる。 Here, transistor operation involves the supply and release of charge to the transistor. This causes switching noise to occur on the power line. Reducing switching noise is important to ensure stable, high-speed transistor operation. To achieve this, it is effective to install a large-capacity capacitor capable of holding charge as close to the transistor as possible. In the logic semiconductor device 1 of this embodiment, power lines from the transistor layer 14 can be connected to the trench capacitor 60 without using bumps or the like. This eliminates the connection distance of several hundred micrometers to millimeters that would previously have been required using bumps.

 なお、上述のトレンチキャパシタ60とラインとの接続の仕方は例である。トレンチキャパシタ60とラインとの接続の仕方はこれには限定されない。 Note that the above-described method of connecting the trench capacitor 60 to the line is an example. The method of connecting the trench capacitor 60 to the line is not limited to this.

 接続配線77の材料は、例えば銅である。ただし、接続配線77の材料は、銅に限定されない。 The material of the connection wiring 77 is, for example, copper. However, the material of the connection wiring 77 is not limited to copper.

(チップ部接合面)
 つぎに図7を参照してチップ部接合面11について説明する。チップ部接合面11には、チップ部絶縁部18が露出している。また、チップ部接合面11には、配線電極26およびパッドが配置されている。本実施形態においては、パッドはダミーパッド20である。言い換えると、チップ部接合面11では、チップ部絶縁部18の中に配線電極26およびダミーパッド20が配置されている。チップ部接合面11は、チップ部絶縁部18、配線電極26およびダミーパッド20によって覆われている。
(Tip joint surface)
Next, the chip bonding surface 11 will be described with reference to Figure 7. The chip insulating portion 18 is exposed on the chip bonding surface 11. Furthermore, wiring electrodes 26 and pads are arranged on the chip bonding surface 11. In this embodiment, the pads are dummy pads 20. In other words, on the chip bonding surface 11, the wiring electrodes 26 and dummy pads 20 are arranged within the chip insulating portion 18. The chip bonding surface 11 is covered with the chip insulating portion 18, the wiring electrodes 26, and the dummy pads 20.

(配線電極)
 配線電極26とは、配線層16に形成されている配線部と電気的に接続された電極のことである。配線電極26は、配線部の端部がチップ部接合面11に露出した部分である。
(wiring electrode)
The wiring electrode 26 is an electrode electrically connected to a wiring portion formed in the wiring layer 16. The wiring electrode 26 is a portion where the end of the wiring portion is exposed on the chip portion bonding surface 11.

 配線電極26は、キャパシタ部接合面51の貫通電極54と接合される。つまり配線電極26は、キャパシタ部接合面51の貫通電極54と電気的に接続される。 The wiring electrode 26 is bonded to the through electrode 54 on the capacitor portion bonding surface 51. In other words, the wiring electrode 26 is electrically connected to the through electrode 54 on the capacitor portion bonding surface 51.

 配線電極26は、貫通電極54と同様の平面形状を有している。図6および図7に示す例では、配線電極26の平面形状および貫通電極54の平面形状は、いずれも円形である。また、チップ部接合面11における配線電極26の位置は、キャパシタ部接合面51における貫通電極54の位置と同じである。 The wiring electrode 26 has the same planar shape as the through electrode 54. In the examples shown in Figures 6 and 7, the planar shapes of the wiring electrode 26 and the through electrode 54 are both circular. Furthermore, the position of the wiring electrode 26 on the chip portion bonding surface 11 is the same as the position of the through electrode 54 on the capacitor portion bonding surface 51.

 配線電極26の平面形状および配置を上述のようにすることで、配線電極26と貫通電極54と互いに余すことなく接合することができる。 By configuring the planar shape and arrangement of the wiring electrode 26 as described above, the wiring electrode 26 and the through electrode 54 can be bonded to each other without any waste.

 配線電極26の材料は、配線部を形成する材料と同じにすることができる。配線電極26の材料の例は銅である。ただし、配線電極26の材料は、銅に限定されない。また、配線電極26の材料は、配線部を形成する材料と異なっていてもよい。 The material of the wiring electrode 26 can be the same as the material forming the wiring portion. An example of a material for the wiring electrode 26 is copper. However, the material for the wiring electrode 26 is not limited to copper. Furthermore, the material for the wiring electrode 26 may be different from the material forming the wiring portion.

(ダミーパッド)
 ダミーパッド20とは、チップ部接合面11に導体で形成されたパッドのことである。ダミーパッド20は、他の導体と接続されていないフロートしたパッド(浮島パッド)であってもよい。ダミーパッド20はキャパシタ電極62と接合される。ダミーパッド20の平面形状は、キャパシタ電極62の平面形状と同じである。また、チップ部接合面11におけるダミーパッド20の位置は、キャパシタ部接合面51におけるキャパシタ電極62の位置と同じである。
(dummy pad)
The dummy pad 20 is a pad formed of a conductor on the chip portion bonding surface 11. The dummy pad 20 may be a floating pad (floating island pad) that is not connected to any other conductor. The dummy pad 20 is bonded to the capacitor electrode 62. The planar shape of the dummy pad 20 is the same as the planar shape of the capacitor electrode 62. The position of the dummy pad 20 on the chip portion bonding surface 11 is the same as the position of the capacitor electrode 62 on the capacitor portion bonding surface 51.

 ダミーパッド20は、第1のダミーパッド21および第2のダミーパッド22を含む。第1のダミーパッド21は第1のキャパシタ電極64と接合するダミーパッド20である。第2のダミーパッド22は第2のキャパシタ電極65と接合するダミーパッド20である。 The dummy pads 20 include a first dummy pad 21 and a second dummy pad 22. The first dummy pad 21 is a dummy pad 20 that is bonded to the first capacitor electrode 64. The second dummy pad 22 is a dummy pad 20 that is bonded to the second capacitor electrode 65.

 ダミーパッド20の材料は、キャパシタ電極62の材料と同じにすることができる。例えば、キャパシタ電極62の材料が銅である場合、ダミーパッド20の材料も銅にすることが好ましい。なお、チップ部接合面11に形成され、キャパシタ電極62と接合されるパッドは、フロートしたパッドに限らず、配線が接続されたパッドであってもよい。例えば、このパッドは、チップ部接合面11の配線電極26と不図示の接続配線により接続されていてもよい。この場合は、キャパシタ部接合面51に接続配線77が形成されていなくてもよい。 The material of the dummy pad 20 can be the same as the material of the capacitor electrode 62. For example, if the material of the capacitor electrode 62 is copper, it is preferable that the material of the dummy pad 20 is also copper. Note that the pad formed on the chip portion bonding surface 11 and bonded to the capacitor electrode 62 is not limited to a floating pad, but may also be a pad connected to a wiring. For example, this pad may be connected to the wiring electrode 26 on the chip portion bonding surface 11 by a connecting wiring (not shown). In this case, the connecting wiring 77 does not need to be formed on the capacitor portion bonding surface 51.

(キャパシタ部接合面とチップ部接合面との接合)
 ここで、キャパシタ部接合面51とチップ部接合面11との接合について説明する。キャパシタ部接合面51とチップ部接合面11とは、直接接合されている。直接接合されているとは、前述のように、間に接着剤、はんだバンプ、アンダーフィル等の液状硬化性樹脂など他の材料を挟むことなく、互いに接した状態で接合されていることをいう。
(Bonding of the capacitor bonding surface and the chip bonding surface)
Here, we will explain the bonding between the capacitor portion bonding surface 51 and the chip portion bonding surface 11. The capacitor portion bonding surface 51 and the chip portion bonding surface 11 are directly bonded to each other. As mentioned above, being directly bonded means that they are bonded in contact with each other without any other material, such as an adhesive, a solder bump, or a liquid curable resin such as underfill, sandwiched between them.

(ハイブリッド接合)
 直接接合の例はハイブリッド接合である。キャパシタ部接合面51とチップ部接合面11とがハイブリッド接合する場合について説明する。ハイブリッド接合を行うためには、接合する2つの面が同じ材料で形成されていることが好ましい。
(hybrid bonding)
An example of direct bonding is hybrid bonding. A case will be described in which the capacitor portion bonding surface 51 and the chip portion bonding surface 11 are hybrid bonded. To perform hybrid bonding, it is preferable that the two surfaces to be bonded are made of the same material.

(キャパシタ部絶縁部とチップ部絶縁部)
 キャパシタ部接合面51のキャパシタ部絶縁部52は、シリコンからなる絶縁部である。そこで、チップ部接合面11のチップ部絶縁部18の材料をキャパシタ部絶縁部52と同じシリコンにする。これによって、キャパシタ部絶縁部52とチップ部絶縁部18とがハイブリッド接合する。
(Capacitor insulation and chip insulation)
The capacitor portion insulating portion 52 on the capacitor portion bonding surface 51 is an insulating portion made of silicon. Therefore, the material of the chip portion insulating portion 18 on the chip portion bonding surface 11 is made of silicon, the same as that of the capacitor portion insulating portion 52. This results in a hybrid bond between the capacitor portion insulating portion 52 and the chip portion insulating portion 18.

 キャパシタ部どうしのハイブリッド接合は、例えば下記のようにして形成される。まず、キャパシタ部絶縁部52およびチップ部絶縁部18を構成するシリコンの末端の水酸基どうしが水素結合によって結合する。そこでキャパシタ部接合面51とチップ部接合面11との界面を加熱する。この加熱によって水素結合したからの脱水が生じ、キャパシタ部絶縁部52とチップ部絶縁部18とがシロキサン結合によって接合される。 Hybrid bonding between capacitor parts is formed, for example, as follows. First, the hydroxyl groups at the ends of the silicon that make up the capacitor part insulating part 52 and the chip part insulating part 18 bond together through hydrogen bonding. Then, the interface between the capacitor part bonding surface 51 and the chip part bonding surface 11 is heated. This heating causes dehydration from the hydrogen bonds, and the capacitor part insulating part 52 and the chip part insulating part 18 are bonded together through siloxane bonding.

 なお、キャパシタ部絶縁部52およびチップ部絶縁部18の材料は上述の材料には限定されない。キャパシタ部絶縁部52およびチップ部絶縁部18の材料は、例えば、酸化ケイ素または炭窒化ケイ素などとすることもできる。これらの材料も、ハイブリッド接合用の絶縁材料として使用可能である。 Note that the materials for the capacitor portion insulating portion 52 and the tip portion insulating portion 18 are not limited to those mentioned above. The materials for the capacitor portion insulating portion 52 and the tip portion insulating portion 18 can also be, for example, silicon oxide or silicon carbonitride. These materials can also be used as insulating materials for hybrid bonding.

(貫通電極と配線電極)
 つぎに、貫通電極54と配線電極26との接合について説明する。例えば、貫通電極54の材料および配線電極26の材料がともに銅であるとする。この場合、貫通電極54と配線電極26とを接触させることで、互いの銅が拡散しあい、拡散接合を生成させることができる。この拡散接合によって、貫通電極54と配線電極26とを接合させることができる。
(Through electrodes and wiring electrodes)
Next, the bonding between the through electrode 54 and the wiring electrode 26 will be described. For example, assume that the material of the through electrode 54 and the material of the wiring electrode 26 are both copper. In this case, by bringing the through electrode 54 and the wiring electrode 26 into contact with each other, the copper diffuses into each other, creating a diffusion bond. The through electrode 54 and the wiring electrode 26 can be bonded by this diffusion bond.

 このように、キャパシタ部接合面51とチップ部接合面11との接合においては、接する部分の材料をキャパシタ部接合面51とチップ部接合面11とで同じにすることで、ハイブリッドボンディングを生じさせることができる。 In this way, when bonding the capacitor portion bonding surface 51 and the chip portion bonding surface 11, hybrid bonding can be achieved by using the same material for the contacting parts of the capacitor portion bonding surface 51 and the chip portion bonding surface 11.

 なお、上述の接合についての説明は例示である。各部分の材料などは、適宜変更することができる。例えば、貫通電極54および配線電極26の材料は、銅に限定されない。 Note that the above description of the bonding is an example. The materials of each part can be changed as appropriate. For example, the material of the through electrode 54 and the wiring electrode 26 is not limited to copper.

(ダミーパッド)
 ハイブリッドボンディングにおけるダミーパッド20の役割りについて説明する。ダミーパッド20は、キャパシタ部接合面51とチップ部接合面11との接合強度を強めることができる。
(dummy pad)
The role of the dummy pad 20 in hybrid bonding will be described below. The dummy pad 20 can increase the bonding strength between the capacitor portion bonding surface 51 and the chip portion bonding surface 11.

 上述のように、キャパシタ部接合面51とチップ部接合面11とのハイブリッドボンディングにおいては、接する部分の材料をキャパシタ部接合面51とチップ部接合面11とで同じにすることが好ましい。ここで、図6に示すように、キャパシタ部接合面51にはキャパシタ電極62が形成されている。キャパシタ電極62は、通常、銅などの金属で形成されている。チップ部接合面11にダミーパッド20が形成されていない場合、キャパシタ電極62が接するチップ部接合面11はチップ部絶縁部18となる。チップ部絶縁部18は絶縁性の材料で形成されている。そのため、キャパシタ電極62とチップ部絶縁部18との間にはハイブリッドボンディングによる接合は生成されない。一方が金属材料であり、他方が絶縁材料であるからである。 As mentioned above, in hybrid bonding between the capacitor portion bonding surface 51 and the chip portion bonding surface 11, it is preferable that the materials of the contacting parts of the capacitor portion bonding surface 51 and the chip portion bonding surface 11 are the same. Here, as shown in FIG. 6, a capacitor electrode 62 is formed on the capacitor portion bonding surface 51. The capacitor electrode 62 is typically made of a metal such as copper. If a dummy pad 20 is not formed on the chip portion bonding surface 11, the chip portion bonding surface 11 with which the capacitor electrode 62 contacts becomes the chip portion insulating portion 18. The chip portion insulating portion 18 is made of an insulating material. Therefore, no hybrid bonding bond is created between the capacitor electrode 62 and the chip portion insulating portion 18. This is because one is a metal material and the other is an insulating material.

 キャパシタ部接合面51とチップ部接合面11との間に接合が生じない部分があると、シリコンチップ部10とキャパシタ部50との接合強度が弱くなる場合がある。 If there are any areas where bonding does not occur between the capacitor portion bonding surface 51 and the chip portion bonding surface 11, the bonding strength between the silicon chip portion 10 and the capacitor portion 50 may be weakened.

 本実施形態のシリコンチップ部10では、チップ部接合面11にダミーパッド20が形成されている。ダミーパッド20は、キャパシタ部接合面51とチップ部接合面11とが接合された際にキャパシタ電極62と重なる位置に配置されている。また、ダミーパッド20はキャパシタ電極62と同じ材料で形成されている。そのため、キャパシタ部接合面51とチップ部接合面11とを接合させる際に、ダミーパッド20とキャパシタ電極62との間に接合を生じさせることができる。これによって、キャパシタ部接合面51とチップ部接合面11との接合強度を強めることができる。 In the silicon chip portion 10 of this embodiment, a dummy pad 20 is formed on the chip portion bonding surface 11. The dummy pad 20 is positioned so that it overlaps with the capacitor electrode 62 when the capacitor portion bonding surface 51 and the chip portion bonding surface 11 are bonded. The dummy pad 20 is also formed from the same material as the capacitor electrode 62. Therefore, when the capacitor portion bonding surface 51 and the chip portion bonding surface 11 are bonded, a bond can be formed between the dummy pad 20 and the capacitor electrode 62. This increases the bonding strength between the capacitor portion bonding surface 51 and the chip portion bonding surface 11.

(製造方法)
 本実施形態のロジック半導体装置1の製造方法について説明する。ロジック半導体装置1は、シリコンチップ部10とキャパシタ部50とが接合されることで製造される。具体的には、図3に示したようにチップウエハ310とキャパシタウエハ350とを接触させることで、チップウエハ310に形成された個々のシリコンチップ部10と、キャパシタウエハ350に形成された個々のキャパシタ部50とが接合される。シリコンチップ部10およびキャパシタ部50は、従来の技術を用いて製造することも可能である。そこで、シリコンチップ部10とキャパシタ部50との接合について説明する。
(Manufacturing method)
A manufacturing method of the logic semiconductor device 1 of this embodiment will be described. The logic semiconductor device 1 is manufactured by bonding a silicon chip portion 10 and a capacitor portion 50. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 3 , by bringing a chip wafer 310 and a capacitor wafer 350 into contact with each other, the individual silicon chip portions 10 formed on the chip wafer 310 are bonded to the individual capacitor portions 50 formed on the capacitor wafer 350. The silicon chip portions 10 and the capacitor portions 50 can also be manufactured using conventional techniques. Here, the bonding of the silicon chip portions 10 and the capacitor portions 50 will be described.

 シリコンチップ部10とキャパシタ部50との接合は、ハイブリッドボンディングで行うことができる。まず、シリコンチップ部10が形成されたチップウエハ310およびキャパシタ部50が形成されたキャパシタウエハ350を準備する。つぎに、チップウエハ310のチップウエハ接合面311およびキャパシタウエハ350のキャパシタウエハ接合面351をCMP(化学的機械的平坦化)などによって平坦化する。その後、チップウエハ310のシリコンチップ部10とキャパシタウエハ350のキャパシタ部50との位置合わせを行う。そして、チップウエハ接合面311とキャパシタウエハ接合面351とを近づけること、より具体的にはチップ部接合面11とキャパシタ部接合面51とを近づけることでチップ部接合面11とキャパシタ部接合面51とを接合させる。その際、チップ部接合面11とキャパシタ部接合面51との界面に熱または圧力を加えてもよい。また、接合後に、アニール処理を行ってもよい。接合の後、ダイシングなどによる個片化を行い、個々のロジック半導体装置1を得る。 The silicon chip unit 10 and the capacitor unit 50 can be bonded using hybrid bonding. First, a chip wafer 310 on which the silicon chip unit 10 is formed and a capacitor wafer 350 on which the capacitor unit 50 is formed are prepared. Next, the chip wafer bonding surface 311 of the chip wafer 310 and the capacitor wafer bonding surface 351 of the capacitor wafer 350 are planarized using CMP (chemical mechanical planarization) or similar. The silicon chip unit 10 of the chip wafer 310 and the capacitor unit 50 of the capacitor wafer 350 are then aligned. The chip wafer bonding surface 311 and the capacitor wafer bonding surface 351 are then brought closer together, more specifically, the chip unit bonding surface 11 and the capacitor unit bonding surface 51 are brought closer together to bond the chip unit bonding surface 11 and the capacitor unit bonding surface 51. During this process, heat or pressure may be applied to the interface between the chip unit bonding surface 11 and the capacitor unit bonding surface 51. After bonding, annealing may also be performed. After bonding, the resulting semiconductor device is diced or otherwise separated into individual pieces to obtain individual logic semiconductor devices 1.

 なお、ロジック半導体装置1の製造方法は上述の方法に限定されない。上述の説明では、シリコンチップ部10とキャパシタ部50とをそれぞれがチップウエハ310またはキャパシタウエハ350に形成された状態で接合させ、その後個片化を行い個々のロジック半導体装置1を得た。これとは異なり、シリコンチップ部10とキャパシタ部50とをそれぞれチップウエハ310またはキャパシタウエハ350から切り出し、個片化されたシリコンチップ部10とキャパシタ部50とを接合させてロジック半導体装置1を得てもよい。また、一方をウエハの状態、他方をチップの状態とし、これらをハイブリッド接合等により接合してもよい。例えば、キャパシタウエハ350に、ダイシングにより個片化されたシリコンチップ部10をハイブリッド接合等により接合してもよい。 Note that the method for manufacturing the logic semiconductor device 1 is not limited to the method described above. In the above description, the silicon chip portion 10 and the capacitor portion 50 are bonded together while they are formed on the chip wafer 310 or the capacitor wafer 350, respectively, and then singulated to obtain individual logic semiconductor devices 1. Alternatively, the silicon chip portion 10 and the capacitor portion 50 may be cut out from the chip wafer 310 or the capacitor wafer 350, respectively, and the singulated silicon chip portion 10 and capacitor portion 50 may be bonded to obtain the logic semiconductor device 1. Alternatively, one may be in the form of a wafer and the other in the form of a chip, and these may be bonded together by hybrid bonding or the like. For example, silicon chip portions 10 singulated by dicing may be bonded to the capacitor wafer 350 by hybrid bonding or the like.
