In this research, a new structure and process integration for backside illuminated CMOS image sensor by using thin wafer handling technology is proposed. First of all, the wafer of a 3 Mega pixel CMOS image sensor is temporary bonded to a silicon carrier wafer with thermal plastic material and ZoneBond technology. Then the CMOS wafer is thinned down to few microns to detect the light from the backside. The backside is then permanently bonded to a glass carrier substrate with a transparent thermal set bonding material. After the glass permanent bonding process, the temporary bonded silicon carrier could be removed. Cu/Sn micro-bump is fabricated at the front-side of the CMOS image sensor, thus no TSVs are needed in the proposed structure. A 3 Mega pixel CMOS wafer with micro-bumps bonded on 500µm-thick glass wafer is demonstrated. Void-free bonding is obtained both in temporary bonding and permanent bonding processes. The thickness of the CMOS image sensor wafer is less than 10 µm after thinning and the total thickness variation is around 1 µm. Thermal plastic material is used for temporary bonding because it flows during bonding process and resulted in excellent planarization. From the cross-section SEM image, Cu/Sn micro-bump is formed at the front-side of the CMOS image sensor and the ENIG UBM is formed on the front side of the Analog-to-Digital Conversion wafer. A 3 Mega pixel image is captured and demonstrated in this research. The proposed backside illuminated CMOS image sensor structure and process integration are processed in wafer level, therefore enabling a low cost technology which can be manufactured using existing infrastructure. By using thin wafer handling technology, direct fusion bond and TSV processes are not needed which provides a low cost wafer level solution. |
