摘要:
A method for improving an adhesion bond between a solder material and an under bump metallization (UBM) layer including providing at least two UBM layers overlying a chip bonding pad including an uppermost UBM layer forming a contact layer for forming a solder bump thereon; depositing a solder bump precursor material overlying the contact layer to form a solder column; exposing the sidewalls of the solder column to include the contact layer sidewalls; oxidizing the contact layer sidewalls to form a contact layer sidewall oxide at a temperature lower than the melting point of the solder bump precursor material; and forming a solder bump by reflowing the precursor material to wet the contact layer surface to exclude the contact layer sidewalls.
摘要:
A system and method for providing a post-passivation and underbump metallization is provided. An embodiment comprises a post-passivation layer that is larger than an overlying underbump metallization. The post-passivation layer extending beyond the underbump metallization shields the underlying layers from stresses generated from mismatches of the materials' coefficient of thermal expansion.

An integrated circuit structure and methods for forming the same are provided. The method includes providing a substrate; forming a through-silicon via (TSV) opening extending into the substrate; forming an under-bump metallurgy (UBM) in the TSV opening, wherein the UBM extends out of the TSV opening; filling the TSV opening with a metallic material; forming a patterned cap layer on the metallic material; and etching a portion of the UBM outside the TSV opening, wherein the patterned cap layer is used as a mask.

An integrated circuit structure includes a passivation layer; a via opening in the passivation layer; a copper-containing via in the via opening; a polymer layer over the passivation layer, wherein the polymer layer comprises an aperture, and wherein the copper-containing via is exposed through the aperture; a post-passivation interconnect (PPI) line over the polymer layer, wherein the PPI line extends into the aperture and physically contacts the copper-via opening; and an under-bump metallurgy (UBM) over and electrically connected to the PPI line.
摘要:
A method for removing dry film resist (DFR) from a fine pitch solder bump array on a semiconductor wafer provides for pre-soaking the wafer in a chemical bath then turbulently exposing the wafer to a chemical solution, both steps taking place in batch processing with the wafers processed in a vertical position. The wafers are then individually processed through a chemical spinning operation in which a chemical solution is dispensed from a spray nozzle while motion such as spinning is imparted the horizontally disposed wafer. The spin speed of the chemical spraying process may then be increased to accelerate physical removal of residue. Deionized water rinsing and spin-drying provide a solder bump array void of any DFR or other residuals.

The present disclosure provides a method of making an integrated circuit (IC) device. The method includes forming a first IC feature and a second IC feature in a semiconductor substrate, the first and second IC features being spaced from each other and separated by a scribe region; forming, in the semiconductor substrate, a doped routing feature at least partially within the scribe region and configured to connect the first and second IC features; forming a multilayer interconnect (MLI) structure and an interlayer dielectric (ILD) on the semiconductor substrate, wherein the MLI is configured to be absent within the scribe region; and etching the ILD and the semiconductor substrate within the scribe region to form a scribe-line trench.
