Bottom-Up Copper Filling of Large Scale Through Silicon Vias for MEMS Technology
An electrodeposition process for void-free bottom-up filling of sub-millimeter scale through silicon vias (TSVs) with Cu is detailed. The 600 mu mdeep and nominally 125 mu mdiameter metallized vias were filled with Cu in less than 7 hours under potentiostatic control. The electrolyte is comprised of 1.25 mol/L CuSO4 -0.25 mol/L CH3SO3H with polyether and halide additions that selectively suppress metal deposition on the free surface and side walls. A brief qualitative discussion of the procedures used to identify and optimize the bottom-up void-free feature filling is presented. (C) The Author(s) 2018. Published by ECS.
