A method of bonding a bonding element to a metal bonding pad, comprising the following steps. A semiconductor structure having an exposed metal bonding pad within a passivation layer opening is provided. The bonding pad has an upper surface. A bonding element is positioned to contact the bonding pad upper surface. A bonding solution is applied within the passivation layer opening, covering the bonding pad and a portion of the bonding element. The structure is annealed by heating said bonding element to selectively solidify the bonding solution proximate said contact of said bonding element to said bonding pad, bonding the bonding element to the bonding pad.
摘要:
A method for reducing copper diffusion into an inorganic dielectric layer adjacent to a copper structure by doping the inorganic dielectric layer with a reducing agent (e.g. phosphorous, sulfur, or both) during plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition. The resulting doped inorganic dielectric layer can reduce copper diffusion without a barrier layer reducing fabrication cost and cycle time, as well as reducing RC delay.

A method of forming a conductive cap layer over a metal bonding pad comprises the following steps. A semiconductor structure is provided having an exposed, recessed metal bonding pad within a layer opening. The layer has an upper surface. The exposed metal bonding pad is treated with a solution containing soluble metal ions to form a conductive cap over the metal bonding pad. The conductive cap layer is comprised of the solution metal and has a predetermined thickness. An external bonding element may then be bonded to the conductive cap, forming an electrical connection with the metal bonding pad.

A method of removing copper contamination from a semiconductor wafer, comprising the following steps. A semiconductor wafer having copper contamination thereon is provided. An oxidizing radical containing downstream plasma is provided from a first source (alternatively halogen (F2, Cl2, or Br2) may be used as on oxidizing agent). A vaporized chelating agent is provided from a second source. The oxidizing radical containing downstream plasma and vaporized chelating agent are mixed to form an oxidizing radical containing downstream plasma/vaporized chelating agent mixture. The mixture is directed to the copper contamination so that the mixture reacts with the copper contamination to form a volatile product. The volatile product is removed from the proximity of the wafer.

A semiconductor chip having an exposed metal terminating pad thereover, and a separate substrate having a corresponding exposed metal track thereover are provided. A metal bump is formed over the exposed metal terminating pad. A photosensitive resin plug is formed over the metal bump. The metal bump of the semiconductor chip is aligned with the corresponding metal track on the separate substrate. The photosensitive resin plug over the metal bump is mated with the corresponding the metal track. The photosensitive resin plug is exposed to UV light to cure the photosensitive resin plug, permanently attaching the metal bump of the semiconductor chip to the corresponding metal track of the separate substrate.

摘要:
An apparatus for closed loop slurry distribution during semiconductor wafer polishing operations. The traditional peristaltic pump for slurry supply is eliminated thus eliminating irregularities in the conventional slurry supply. Common platform mounting of the slurry reservoir and the polishing apparatus resulting in concurrent and identical motion of the slurry supply reservoir and the polishing apparatus. The polishing medium is mounted on the outside of a cylinder as opposed to the conventional table mounting, the polishing medium rotates around the axis of the cylinder on which this polishing medium is mounted. The polishing pads are in direct physical contact with the slurry supply without the intervention of any slurry pumping arrangement.
