Abstract:
An improvement of joint reliability between Sn-yAg (0≦y≦4.0) solder and Ni—P under-bump metallic layers is achieved by cobalt (Co) addition. A solder joint with improved joint reliability is formed between a solder part of an electronic packaging and an under-bump metallic (UBM) layer, which has a specific structure comprising Sn-yAg-xCo (0.02≦x≦0.1, 0≦y≦4.0) alloy solder containing cobalt (Co) ingredient bonded to a Ni—P UBM. Also, a solder joint with a joint structure comprising Sn-yAg-xCo (0.02≦x≦0.1, 0≦y≦4.0) alloy solder with addition of Co ingredient and Ni—P UBM is formed, which is inserted between a PCB substrate and a silicon chip to join the same.

Abstract:
A method of forming bumps of a semiconductor device with reduced solder bump collapse. The method includes preparing a semiconductor substrate in which pads are exposed externally from a passivation layer; forming a seed layer on the semiconductor substrate; forming a photoresist pattern to expose the seed layer on the pads; forming pillars by performing a primary electroplating on a region exposed by the photoresist pattern; forming a solder layer by performing a secondary electroplating on the pillars; removing the photoresist pattern; forming solder bumps, in which solders partially cover surfaces of the pillars, by performing a reflow process on the semiconductor substrate; and removing portions of the seed layer formed in regions other than the solder bumps.

Abstract:
A wafer polishing method includes first polishing for polishing a wafer backside of a wafer, detecting if a defect exists on the wafer backside, determining whether a level of the detected defect is not within an allowable range, if a defect exists on the wafer backside, and second polishing for repolishing the wafer backside if the level of the defect is within an allowable range. Accordingly, a wafer may be reprocessed so that a level of defects, which may be caused by performing grinding and polishing on the wafer backside, is within an allowable range. Thus, the wafer backside may have uniform quality, and a failure rate of the wafer during a manufacturing processed may be efficiently decreased.
