摘要:
A method of forming wafer-level chip scale packaging solder bumps on a wafer substrate involves cleaning the surface of the solder bumps using a laser to remove any residual molding compound from the surface of the solder bumps after the solder bumps are reflowed and a liquid molding compound is applied and cured.
摘要:
A method of forming electrical connections to a semiconductor wafer. A semiconductor wafer comprising an insulation layer is provided. The insulation layer has a surface. A patterned mask layer is formed over the surface of the insulation layer. The patterned mask layer exposes portions of the surface of the insulation layer through a plurality of holes. The portions of the plurality of holes are filled with a metal material comprising copper to form elongated columns of the metal material. The elongated columns of the metal material have a sidewall surface. The patterned mask layer is removed to expose the sidewall surface of the elongated columns of the metal material. A protection layer is formed on the exposed sidewall surface of the elongated columns of the metal material.
摘要:
The described embodiments of mechanisms of forming a package on package (PoP) structure involve bonding with connectors with non-solder metal balls to a packaging substrate. The non-solder metal balls may include a solder coating layer. The connectors with non-solder metal balls can maintain substantially the shape of the connectors and control the height of the bonding structures between upper and lower packages. The connectors with non-solder metal balls are also less likely to result in bridging between connectors or disconnection (or cold joint) of bonded connectors. As a result, the pitch of the connectors with non-solder metal balls can be kept small.

摘要:
A copper post is formed in a passivation layer to electrically connect an underlying bond pad region, and extends to protrude from the passivation layer. A protection layer is formed on a sidewall surface or a top surface of the copper post in a self-aligned manner. The protection layer is a manganese-containing oxide layer, a manganese-containing nitride layer or a manganese-containing oxynitride layer.
