Most through silicon vias (TSVs) are filled with copper. The coefficient of thermal expansion of copper (c.a. 16-17 x10⁻⁶ /^∘C) is around six times higher than that of silicon (c.a. 2.7 x10⁻⁶ /^∘C). Therefore, temperature loadings on Cu-TSV lead to a very large local thermal expansion mismatch between copper and silicon/dielectric (e.g. SiO₂). This imposes very large stresses and strains in the vicinity of the interface region. The local strain/stress fields remaining after packaging processes can be high enough to introduce reliability issues in electronic devices. To evaluate the stress within the silicon surrounding of the TSV, micro-Raman spectroscopy is one of the most appropriate methods capable of providing local measurement of stress at high spatial resolution. We report on the analysis of the stress field in silicon adjacent to Cu-TSVs and the impact of thermal annealing in stress reduction.
