Embodiments of the present invention provide for the dissipation of heat from semiconductor-on-insulator (SOI) structures. In one embodiment, a method for fabricating an integrated circuit is disclosed. In a first step, active circuitry is formed in an active layer of a SOI wafer. In a second step, substrate material is removed from a substrate layer disposed on a back side of the SOI wafer. In a third step, insulator material is removed from the back side of the SOI wafer to form an excavated insulator region. In a fourth step, a thermal dissipation layer is deposited on said excavated insulator region. The thermal dissipation layer is thermally conductive and electrically insulating.

The invention relates to a method for producing at least one photosensitive infrared detector by assembling a first electronic component (100, 230) comprising a plurality of photodiodes (110) sensitive to infrared radiation and a second electronic component (400) comprising at least one electronic circuit for reading the plurality of photodiodes, the method being characterised in that it comprises: the production, on each of the first (100, 230) and second (400) components, of a connection surface (192, 492) formed at least partially by a layer (210, 405) containing silicon oxide (SiO2); and a step of adhering the first component (100, 230) and the second component (400) by means of the connection surfaces (192, 492) thereof, enabling the direct adhesion the two components (100, 230, 400). This method enables the simplification of the hybridisation of heterogeneous components for the production of an infrared detector.

Some embodiments include a planarization method. A liner is formed across a semiconductor substrate and along posts that extending upwardly from the substrate. Organic fill material is formed over the liner and between the posts. A planarized surface is formed which extends across the posts and across one or both of the liner and the fill material. Some embodiments include a semiconductor construction containing a semiconductor die. Electrically conductive posts extend through the die. The posts have upper surfaces above a backside surface of the die, and have sidewall surfaces extending between the backside surface and the upper surfaces. A liner is across the backside surface of the die and along the sidewall surfaces of the posts. Electrically conductive caps are over the upper surfaces of the posts, and have rims along the liner adjacent the sidewall surfaces of the posts.

Some embodiments include methods of forming interconnects through semiconductor substrates. An opening may be formed to extend partway through a semiconductor substrate, and part of an interconnect may be formed within the opening. Another opening may be formed to extend from a second side of the substrate to the first part of the interconnect, and another part of the interconnect may be formed within such opening. Some embodiments include semiconductor constructions having a first part of a through-substrate interconnect extending partially through a semiconductor substrate from a first side of the substrate; and having a second part of the through-substrate interconnect extending from a second side of the substrate and having multiple separate electrically conductive fingers that all extend to the first part of the interconnect.
摘要:
The present invention is related to a method for bonding a first semiconductor substrate to a second semiconductor substrate by direct bonding, wherein the substrates are both provided on their contact surfaces with a dielectric layer, followed by a CMP step for reducing the roughness of the dielectric layer. Preferably, the dielectric layer after CMP has an roughness of less than 0.2nm RMS. Then a layer of SiCN is deposited onto the dielectric layer, followed by a CMP step which reduces the roughness of the SiCN layer to the order of 1 tenth of a nanometre. Preferably the RMS value after CMP is less than 0.1nm. Then the substrates are subjected to a pre-bond annealing step. The substrates are then bonded by direct bonding, possibly preceded by one or more pre-treatments of the contact surfaces, and followed by a post-bond annealing step, at a temperature of less than or equal to 250°C, preferably between 200°C and 250°C. It has been found that the bond strength is excellent, even at the above named annealing temperatures, which are lower than presently known in the art.
