Description
Summary:This paper provides an overview of 3D detectors fabrication technology developed in the clean room of the Microelectronics Institute of Barcelona (IMB-CNM). Emphasis is put on manufacturability, especially on stress and bow issues. Some of the technological solutions proposed at IMB-CNM to improve manufacturability are presented. Results and solutions from other research institutes are also mentioned. Analogy with through-silicon-via technology is drawn. This article aims at giving hints of the technology improvements implemented to upgrade from a R&D process to a mature technology.
