Method of manufacture an integrated circuit system with through silicon via
View Patent ↗A method of manufacture of an integrated circuit system includes: providing a substrate including an active device; forming a through-silicon-via into the substrate; forming an insulation layer over the through-silicon-via to protect the through-silicon-via; forming a contact to the active device after forming the insulation layer; and removing the insulation layer.
1. A method of manufacture of an integrated circuit system comprising:
providing a substrate including an active device;
forming a through-silicon-via into the substrate;
forming an insulation layer over the through-silicon-via to protect the through-silicon-via;
forming a contact to the active device after forming the insulation layer; and
removing the insulation layer.
2. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein:
forming the insulation layer includes forming an oxide or a nitride.
3. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein:
forming the through-silicon-via into the substrate includes forming the through-silicon-via through an isolation structure.
4. The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprising:
forming the through-silicon-via and the contact through a passivation layer formed over the substrate and the active device.
5. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein:
removing the insulation layer includes planarizing the integrated circuit system to expose the through-silicon-via and the contact.
6. A method of manufacture of an integrated circuit system comprising:
providing a substrate including an active device;
forming a passivation layer over the substrate and the active device;
forming a through-silicon-via through the passivation layer and into the substrate;
forming an insulation layer over the through-silicon-via and the passivation layer to protect the through-silicon-via;
forming a contact to the active device that does not touch the through-silicon-via; and
removing the insulation layer.
7. The method as claimed in claim 6 wherein:
forming the through-silicon-via includes using tungsten or copper.
8. The method as claimed in claim 6 wherein:
forming the contact includes forming a barrier layer.
9. The method as claimed in claim 6 further comprising:
planarizing the integrated circuit system to remove excess material.
10. The method as claimed in claim 6 wherein:
removing the insulation layer includes removing the insulation layer before forming the contact.
11. A method of manufacture of an integrated circuit system comprising:
providing a substrate including an active device;
forming a contact to the active device;
forming an insulation layer over the contact to protect the contact;
forming a through-silicon-via opening into the substrate after forming the insulation layer;
removing the insulation layer; and
forming a through-silicon-via.
12. The method as claimed in claim 11 wherein:
forming the insulation layer includes forming a nitride.
13. The method as claimed in claim 11 wherein:
forming the through-silicon-via opening into the substrate includes forming the through-silicon-via opening through an isolation structure.
14. The method as claimed in claim 11 further comprising:
planarizing the integrated circuit system to expose the through-silicon-via and the contact.
15. The method as claimed in claim 11 wherein:
forming the insulation layer prevents the contact from corroding during formation of the through-silicon-via opening.
16. The method as claimed in claim 11 wherein:
removing the insulation layer includes removing the insulation layer before forming the through-silicon-via.
17. The method as claimed in claim 16 wherein:
forming the through-silicon-via includes using tungsten or copper.
18. The method as claimed in claim 16 wherein:
forming the contact includes forming a barrier layer.
19. The method as claimed in claim 16 wherein:
forming the contact and the through-silicon-via includes using different materials.
20. The method as claimed in claim 16 further comprising:
forming the through-silicon-via and the contact through a passivation layer formed over the substrate and the active device.
