摘要:
A laser ablated wafer for a semiconductor device, such as a MOSFET or other power device, and a method of producing such a wafer to achieve a lower electrical resistance are provided. The method includes forming first holes, slots or trenches on a first surface of the wafer and focusing a laser beam to form second trenches on a bottom surface of the wafer, and filling the trenches, for example using aluminum or other metallic filling, to provide conductive electrodes or conductive surfaces for the semiconductor device. In such a wafer each trench on the second surface may be deeper, for example more than one hundred microns deep and tens of microns wide.
摘要:
A process for etching a thick aluminum contact layer of a semiconductor wafer comprises the formation of a wet etch photoresist mask and the opening of a window in the mask, followed by a wet etch of a first portion of the thickness of the contact layer exposed by the window and the inherent under cutting of the contact layer under the mask window. A dry etch is next carried out, using the same window as a mask, to cut the remaining web of the contact layer under the window. An etch stop layer of Ti or TiN can be formed within the body of the contact layer to define the depth of the initial wet etch into the contact layer.
摘要:
A wafer containing a plurality of die separated by streets which are to be sawn has a nitride passivation layer which has openings over die contact locations and gaps leaving nitride strips along the streets. The gaps in the nitride along the streets expose an oxide, preferably TEOS. A nickel/gold plate contact material overlies the nitride layer and contacts the exposed die contact areas but does not adhere to either the nitride surface or the oxide surfaces. A saw blade can then cut along the streets without being gummed by the metalizing and without producing cracks which propagate into the die termination areas.
