IC Fabrication Process
IC Fabrication Process Sequence
•Silicon Wafer manufacturing
•Wafer processing
•Oxidation
•Photo Lithography
•Etching
•Diffusion & Ion implantation
•Metallization
•Testing
•Assembly and packaging
3
Transistor in side the IC
IC 7400
No. of NAND gates=4
No. of transistors per gate=4
Total no of transistors=16
Size of chip in terms of mm
Can you Imagine the size of the transistor in side IC
IC Fabrication Process- Video from Intel
‘From sand to silicon’ in youtube
5
Creating Wafers -A Single Crystal Growth
•Czochralski Method
Silicon in nature
6
Silicon Wafer Manufacturing Process
7
Oxidation
Si+O2 SiO2
1200 C
1. Wet Oxidation
•Water vapour
•Used to grow Thick Oxide
•Oxygen gas
•Used to grow Thin Oxide
2. Dry Oxidation
Si+2H2O SiO2+2H2
900 C
•Thickness depends on Temperature and Time
•The process by which a layer of silicon di oxide is grown
8
Photo Lithography
•It uses light to transfer a geometric pattern from a
photo mask to a photo sensitive chemical photo resist
on the substrate
•Photo resist: An organic polymer, sensitive to UV
light and resistant to attack by acids.This is of 2 types.
Positive &negative. If negative PR is used, the PR
where it is exposed to UV light get hardened.
•A solvent called developer is used to remove the soft
PR
Photo resist coating process
9
•Mask: Photo mask is an opaque
plate with holes or
transparencies that allow light to
shine throgh in a defined pattren
•Lens: To scale the mask
Photo Lithography
10
Etching
Etchants: KOH, HF,BF6,BCl3
SiO2 + 6HF H2SiF6+2H2O
•To chemically remove layers from the surface of a wafer
11
Diffusion & Ion Implantation
•Diffusion and ion implantation are the two key methods of impurity
doping
•Diffusion: Dopant atoms move from
the surface into Si by thermal means
via substitutional or interstitial
diffusion mechanism
•It requires high temperature and
hard mask
•Dopant concentration and junction
depth cannot be controlled
12
•Ion implantation: Dopant atoms
are forcefully added into Si in the
form of energetic ion beam injection
•Requires low temperature and
PR mask
•Dopant concentration and
junction depth can be controlled
Diffusion & Ion Implantation
13
Metallization
•Provides contacts and interconnections
•Most commonly used material- Aluminium
•Requirements
•Low resistance Ohmic contacts
•Low sheet resistance
•Reliable interconnections
14
Wafer Testing
•A wafer prober is a machine (Automatic test equipment) used to test
integrated circuits
Wafer test setup Wafer inspection
15
Assembly and Packaging
