A semiconductor structure includes a semiconductor device (100), a conductive pad (102) on the semiconductor device (100), and a Ag 1-x Y x alloy bump (101) over the conductive pad (102). The Y of the Ag 1-x Y x bump (101) comprises metals forming complete solid solution with Ag at arbitrary weight percentage (Au and/or Pd), and the x of the Ag 1-x Y x alloy bump (101) is in a range of from about 0.005 to about 0.25. A difference between standard deviation and mean value of a grain size distribution of the Ag 1-x Y x alloy bump (101) is in a range of from about 0.2 µm to about 0.4 µm. An average grain size of the Ag 1-x Y x alloy bump (101) on a longitudinal cross sectional plane is in a range of from about 0.5 µm to about 1.5 µm. The alloy bump (101) is formed by electroplating.

摘要:
The present invention is related to the mining and mineral or materials treatment industries that deal with gold and silver. Specifically, it is related to the process to recover gold and silver from thiosulfate or thiourea solutions, with an electrolysis that occurs simultaneously on both the anode and cathode. The advantages of the present invention, relative to the current state of technology, reside in the increased velocity and greatly reduced energy consumption in relation to those found in conventional electrolytic cells.
摘要:
Some embodiments of the present invention provide processes and apparatus for electrochemically fabricating multilayer structures (98) (e.g. mesoscale or microscale structures) with improved endpoint detection and parallelism maintenance for materials (e.g. layers) that are planarized during the electrochemical fabrication process. Some methods involve the use of a fixture during planarization that ensures that planarized planes of material are parallel to other deposited planes within a given tolerance. Some methods involve the use of an endpoint detection fixture (292, 294, 296, 298) that ensures precise heights of deposited materials relative to an initial surface of a substrate (82), relative to a first deposited layer, or relative to some other layer formed during the fabrication process. In some embodiments planarization may occur via lapping while other embodiments may use a diamond fly cutting machine (408).
摘要:
The invention concerns an aqueous electrolytic solution for electrochemical deposition of gold or of its alloys comprising at least a soluble gold compound designed for electrolytic deposition and, optionally at least a secondary metal compound designed for co-deposition in the form of a gold alloy. The invention is characterised in that it further comprises 0.3 to 3 moles per mole of gold contained in the electrolytic solution of an organic compound comprising one or two aldehyde functions, said organic compound being: either glyoxal, or an organic compound comprising 3 to 20 carbon atoms and one or two aldehyde functions in the form: of a saturated or unsaturated, linear or branched aliphatic group, or a group containing at least a saturated, unsaturated or aromatic cycle, said organic compound may further include at least a heteroelement selected among oxygen, nitrogen, sulphur and phosphorus or be in the form of a salt, in particular a sulphonate. The presence of said organic compound enables to increase the speed of electrodeposition of gold or of its alloys and/or to decrease contact resistance. The invention also concerns a method for electrodeposition of gold or of a gold alloy comprising electrolysis of such an electrolytic solution.
