Context Before
Process Flow: Front End
When regular DDR DRAM capacity “converts” to HBM capacity – the main change is the addition of tools for forming the TSVs, and more bumping capacity as HBM wafers are bumped on both sides. Both of these steps are to enable the 3D stack, although they are omitted for wafers used for the top die which only need a single side of bumps and don’t require TSVs.
Evidence
TSVs require etchers to create the vias, and deposition and plating tools to fill them. To reveal the TSVs, grinders, another etch step, and temporary bonders to attach carrier wafers used in this process are required.
Context After
For bumping, this is mainly deposition, plating and stripping. Also, optical inspection tools from Camtek and Onto are available to check that the bumps are not defective and are of the correct profile.
② Atomic Claim
TSV 製程需要 etch 建 via、deposition/plating 填孔，以及 grinding、再次 etch 與 temporary bonding 來 reveal TSV。
