摘要:
The present invention is related to a chuck for the collective bonding of semiconductor dies to a target wafer. The chuck of the invention is a substrate comprising on one of its flat surfaces, a number of films of carbon nanotubes, said films being deposited on a number of die placement sites. The CNT films are obtainable by growing the nanotubes on the die placement sites, i.e. the CNTs are attached to the surface of the chuck at one end and the CNTs extend outward from said surface. Preferably the CNT films are deposited in a number of recesses etched in the surface of the chuck. The recesses may have different depths, in order to compensate height differences between a plurality of dies. The CNT films are resilient and thereby give a degree of compliance to the chuck. The films may also perform an adhesive force on the dies that is high in shear direction, which allows the placement accuracy of the dies to be well maintained during bonding. The adhesion force in the normal direction is lower but still sufficient to hold the dies firmly during pre-treatments such as wet cleaning and plasma treatment. Release of the chuck from the bonded dies is easy due to the low normal adhesive force. The CNT films may be pre-compressed so as to lend a higher stability to the films.

The present invention is related to a probing device for electrical testing of ICs, comprising a semiconductor substrate and an anisotropically conducting contactor attached to the substrate. The substrate comprises an integrated circuit portion comprising an array of contact pads on the surface of the substrate. The contactor is attached to the array of pads and comprises an array of probes, each probe being in contact with one pad. The IC portion comprises circuitry for selecting a number of probes and connecting the selected probes to an I/O terminal of the device, for connection to test equipment. According to a particular embodiment, the anisotropically conducting contactor comprises a multitude of nano-scaled conductors embedded in an insulating matrix, so that each probe is formed by a plurality of nano-scaled conductors.
