摘要:
The present invention relates to a method for forming a copper pillar on a semiconducting substrate, the copper pillar having an underbump metallization area comprising a metal less noble than copper and optionally a solder bump on the top portion, and having a layer of a second metal selected from tin, tin alloys, silver, and silver alloys deposited onto the side walls of said copper pillar. A layer of a first metal which is more noble than copper is deposited onto the entire outer surface of the copper pillar prior to deposition of the second metal layer. The layer of a second metal then has at least a reduced number of undesired pin-holes and serves as a protection layer for the underlying copper pillar.

A wafer-level CSP (200) includes at least one die (202) from a wafer. The wafer-level CSP has a plurality of solder ball pads (206), a solder ball (308) at each solder ball pad and a polymer collar (310) around each solder ball. A moat (204) is formed in the surface of a polymer layer (412) disposed on the wafer during manufacturing of the wafer-level CSP. A temporarily liquified residual (502) from the polymer collar, which occurs while the wafer is heated to the reflow temperature of the solder ball, flows from the polymer collar. The moat acts as a barrier to material flow, limiting the distance that the residual spreads while liquified. The residual from the polymer collar remains within a region (314) defined by the moat. A full-depth moat (312) extends completely through the polymer layer. Alternatively, a partial-depth moat (712 and 912) extends partially through the polymer layer. The abstract is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims pursuant to 37 C.F.R. §1.72(b).

A method of forming bump structures (116) for interconnecting components includes dry etching a layer of insulating material (102) to create a pattern for bump structures. A seed layer (112) is deposited on the insulating material (102) over the pattern. The seed layer (112) is patterned with a photo resist material (114). The method also includes forming bump structures over the seed layer (112) and the photo resist material (114) with a plating material to form bump structures (116) in the pattern, wherein the bump structures are isolated from one another.

Aflip-chip package for implementing a fine solder ball, and a flip-chip packaging method using the same. The flip-chip package includes a first wafer (100) having a first electrode and a first under bump metal (111,112) (UBM) formed on the first electrode and electrically connected to the first electrode; and second wafer (200) opposing the first wafer and having a second electrode located in a position corresponding to the first electrode, and a second UBM (211,212) formed of the second electrode and electrically connected to the second electrode. The first wafer (100) has a depression formed on one or more areas adjacent to the first UBM (111,112), which depression partly receives a solder ball (133a,134a) that connects the first (111,112) and the second UBMs (211,212) upon flip-chip bonding of the first (100) and second (200) wafers. Since the UBM is formed as an embossing pattern, a fine solder ball can be implemented. Additionally, the reliability of the package can be improved.

摘要:
A method for fabricating solder bumps on a microelectronic device having contact pads includes the steps of depositing a titanium barrier layer on the device, forming an under bump metallurgy layer on the titanium barrier layer, and forming one or more solder bumps on the under bump metallurgy layer. The solder bump or bumps define exposed portions of the under bump metallurgy layer which are removed, and then the exposed portion of the titanium barrier layer is removed. The titanium barrier layer protects the underlying microelectronic device from the etchants used to remove the under bump metallurgy layer. The titanium layer also prevents the under bump metallurgy layer from forming a residue on the underlying microelectronic device. Accordingly, the titanium barrier layer allows the under bump metallurgy layer to be quickly removed without leaving residual matter thereby reducing the possibility of electrical shorts between solder bumps.

摘要:
Flux residue drawn by capillary action into the small gap between a conductor pattern support e.g. a printed circuit board, and a leadless electronic component surface mounted on the support is hard to remove and may corrode the conductor pattern. Herein the component is fixed to the support by a pad of adhesive elastomer so as to give a larger and hence more easily cleanable gap between component and support and the component connector pads are coupled to the conductor pattern by way of solder pillars formed by pre-loading the component connector pads and the pattern with precisely defined amounts of solder and, e.g. during a vapour phase re-flow, causing the pre-loads to merge and form the solder pillars.
