“…Various kinds of 3D devices or 3D LSIs have been proposed so far [3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16]. The first 3D LSI test chip having three device layers was fabricated using the poly-Si film which is re-crystallized by laser annealing [3].…”
Section: Present Situation Of 3d Integration Technologymentioning
3D integration technology is the key for future LSIs with highperformance, low-power and multi-functionality. Especially, to mitigate various concerns caused by device scaling down to 10 nm or less, it is indispensable to introduce a new concept of heterogeneous 3D integration in which various kinds of materials, devices and technologies are integrated on a Si substrate. Future prospects of such a heterogeneous 3D integration technology has been discussed representing typical examples of heterogeneous 3D LSIs after the present situation of 3D integration technology is described.

“…For void-less filling of high aspect ratio vias, highly conformal MOCVD processes are of advantage. Excellent results were achieved using both CVD tungsten and CVD copper (in both cases with CVD-TiN as seed layer) [24]. Subsequently, for so-called metal plug formation a suitable metal etch back process is applied.…”

Ultra thin chips with a thickness below 30 lm offer low system height, low topography and show enhanced mechanical flexibility. These properties enable diverse use possibilities and new applications. However, advanced wafer thinning, adapted assembly and interconnection methods are required for this technology. A new process scheme is proposed that allows manufacturing of ultra thin fully processed wafers. Secure handling is achieved by means of carrier substrates using reversible adhesive tapes for connection of support and device wafers. Well established backgrinding and etching techniques are used for wafer thinning. To avoid mechanical damage of thin ICs the ''Dicing-by-Thinning'' (DbyT) concept is introduced to process flow. Best results are obtained when preparing dry etched chip grooves at front side of device wafer and opening these trenches during backside thinning. The new process scheme was also applied to wafers with highly topographic surfaces. Results of 40 lm thin wafers with 15 lm high Nickel bumps are presented. Three different assembly methods are described, interconnection through the thin chip, face down assembly and isoplanar contacting.
