Abstract

A method for fabricating semiconductor device includes the steps of first providing a first substrate having a high-voltage (HV) region and a medium voltage (MV) region and a second substrate having a low-voltage (LV) region and a static random access memory (SRAM) region, in which the HV region includes a HV device, the MV region includes a MV device, the LV region includes a fin field-effect transistor (FinFET), and the SRAM region includes a SRAM device. Next, a bonding process is conducted by using hybrid bonding, through-silicon interposer (TSI) or redistribution layer (RDL) for bonding the first substrate and the second substrate.

Claims (18)

1 . A semiconductor device, comprising:

a first substrate having a high-voltage (HV) region and a medium-voltage (MV) region;

a HV device on the HV region and a MV device on the MV region, wherein the HV device and the MV device are fabricated through a first process node;

a first inter-metal dielectric (IMD) layer on the HV region and the MV region;

a first metal interconnection in the first IMD layer of the HV region and connected to the HV device;

a second metal interconnection in the first IMD layer of the MV region and connected to the MV device;

a second substrate disposed on a back surface of the first substrate, wherein the second substrate comprises a low-voltage (LV) region and a static random access memory (SRAM) region;

a LV device on the LV region and a SRAM device on the SRAM region, wherein the LV device and the SRAM device are fabricated through a second process node and the first process node and the second process node are different;

a second IMD layer on the LV region and the SRAM region;

a third metal interconnection in the second ID layer of the LV region and on the LV device;

a fourth metal interconnection in the second IMD layer of the SRAM region and connected to the SRAM device;

a through-silicon interposer (TSI) between a back end of the first substrate and a front end or a back end of the second substrate;

a first through-silicon via (TSV) in the TSI and in direct contact with the first metal interconnection and the third metal interconnection; and

a second TSV in the TSI and in direct contact with the second metal interconnection and the fourth metal interconnection.

2 . The semiconductor device of claim 1 , wherein the LV region comprises a fin field-effect transistor (FinFET).

3 . The semiconductor device of claim 1 , further comprising a redistribution layer (RDL) between the first substrate and the second substrate.

4 . The semiconductor device of claim 1 , wherein the first substrate comprises a silicon wafer.

5 . The semiconductor device of claim 1 , wherein the second substrate comprises a silicon wafer.
