Résumé

In 3D integration industrial context, copper is widely favored over othersmetals as a bonding material for its exceptional electrical and mechanical properties. It has been already reported that directly bonded structures involving copper layers exhibit typical voids that drastically abound beyond 300 degrees C. In order to have a better understanding of the voiding process, we specifically designed structures involving materials and surfaces exhibiting different properties. These stacks underwent different bonding processes which mainly differ in the mechanical applied load. For each variation in this study the total volume of voids was estimated throughout a strict protocol. Thus, we demonstrate that voiding phenomena is related to a stress driven vacancy diffusion very comparable to standard metallurgical creep mechanisms. Regarding the origin of the vacancies, among all the possible options, two predominant sources have been identified. Better understanding of these physical phenomena should enable the achievement of advanced wafer assemblies exhibiting much higher reliability and quality.
