Abstract: Described examples provide microelectronic devices and fabrication methods, including fabricating a contact structure by forming a titanium or titanium tungsten barrier layer on a conductive feature, forming a tin seed layer on the barrier layer, forming a copper structure on the seed layer above the conductive feature of the wafer or die, heating the seed layer and the copper structure to form a bronze material between the barrier layer and the copper structure, removing the seed layer using an etching process that selectively removes an exposed portion of the seed layer, and removing an exposed portion of the barrier layer.

Abstract: A method for fabricating a copper pillar. The method includes forming a layer of titanium tungsten (TiW) over a semiconductor wafer, forming a layer of zinc (Zn) over the layer of TiW, and forming a copper pillar over the via. In addition, the method includes performing an anneal to diffuse the layer of Zn into the copper pillar. A semiconductor device that includes a layer of TiW coupled to a via of a semiconductor wafer and a copper pillar coupled to the layer of TiW. The copper pillar has interdiffused Zn within its bottom portion. Another method for fabricating a copper pillar includes forming a layer of TiW over a semiconductor wafer, forming a first patterned photoresist, forming a layer of Zn, and then removing the first patterned photoresist. The method further includes forming a second patterned photoresist and forming a copper pillar.

Abstract: In some examples, a chip scale package (CSP) comprises a semiconductor die; a passivation layer abutting the semiconductor die; a via extending through the passivation layer; and a first metal layer abutting the via. The CSP also includes an insulation layer abutting the first metal layer, with the insulation layer having an orifice with a maximal horizontal area of less than 32400 microns2. The CSP further includes a second metal layer abutting the insulation layer and adapted to couple to a solder ball. The second metal layer abuts the first metal layer at a point of contact defined by the orifice in the insulation layer.

Abstract: A semiconductor package includes an IC having circuitry configured for at least one function with some nodes connected to bond pads, with first metal posts on the bond pads, and dome support metal posts configured in a ring having a top rim defining an inner cavity with solder on the top rim and extending over an area of the inner cavity for providing a solder dome that covers the inner cavity to provide a covered air cavity over a portion of the circuitry. A leadframe includes a plurality of leads or lead terminals. The IC is flipchip attached with a solder connection to the leadframe so that the first metal posts are attached to the leads or the lead terminals. A mold compound provides encapsulation for the semiconductor package except on at least a bottom side of the leads or lead terminals.

Abstract: A nanostructure barrier for copper wire bonding includes metal grains and inter-grain metal between the metal grains. The nanostructure barrier includes a first metal selected from nickel or cobalt, and a second metal selected from tungsten or molybdenum. A concentration of the second metal is higher in the inter-grain metal than in the metal grains. The nanostructure barrier may be on a copper core wire to provide a coated bond wire. The nanostructure barrier may be on a bond pad to form a coated bond pad. A method of plating the nanostructure barrier using reverse pulse plating is disclosed. A wire bonding method using the coated bond wire is disclosed.
