摘要:
The invention is the technology of providing a packaging intermediate product that can serve as an interface substrate that is to be positioned between different circuitry types where the dimensions are approaching the sub 100 micrometer range. The invention involves a dielectric wafer structure where the first and second area surfaces of the wafer are separated by a distance that is of the order of the electrical via design length, and an array of spaced vias through the wafer arranged with each via filled with metal surrounded by a chemical metal deposition promoting layer with each via terminating flush with a wafer surface. The wafer structure is achieved by forming an array of blind via openings through the first surface of the dielectric wafer to a depth approaching the via design length, lining the walls for adhesion enhancement, filling the blind via openings completely with a chemically deposited metal, removing material at the first wafer surface thereby planarizing the filled vias, and removing material at the second wafer surface thereby exposing the vias at the design length.

A microjoint interconnect structure comprising a dense array of metallic studs of precisely controllable height tipped with a joining metallurgy. The array is produced on a device chip that is to be attached to a carrier, or to a carrier along with other devices, some of which may be selected to have similar interconnect structures so as to form all together an assembled carrier that functions as a complete computing, communications or networking system.

A system for interconnecting a set of device chips by means of an array of microjoints disposed on an interconnect carrier is taught. The carrier is provided with a dense array of microjoint receptacles with an adhesion layer, barrier layer and a noble metal layer; the device wafers are fabricated with an array of microjoining pads including an adhesion layer, barrier layer and a fusible solder layer with pads being located at matching locations in reference to the barrier receptacles; the device chips are joined to the carrier through the microjoint arrays resulting in interconnections capable of very high input/output density and inter-chip wiring density.
摘要:
A system for testing a collection of device chips by temporarily attaching them to a carrier having a plurality of receptacles with microdendritic features; the receptacles matching with and pushed in contact with a matching set of contact pads on the device chips; said carrier additionally having test pads connected to the receptacles through interconnect wiring. The system allows connecting the chips together and testing the collection as a whole by probing the test pads on the carrier. Burn-in of the collection of chips can also be performed on the temporary carrier, which is reusable.

A method for forming a quaternary alloy film of Co—W—P—Au for use as a diffusion barrier layer on a copper interconnect in a semiconductor structure and devices formed incorporating such film are disclosed. In the method, a substrate that has copper conductive regions on top is first pre-treated by two separate pre-treatment steps. In the first step, the substrate is immersed in a H2SO4 rinsing solution and next in a solution containing palladium ions for a length of time sufficient for the ions to deposit on the surface of the copper conductive regions. The substrate is then immersed in a solution that contains at least 15 gr/l sodium citrate or EDTA for removing excess palladium ions from the surface of the copper conductive regions. After the pre-treated substrate is rinsed in a first rinsing step by distilled water, the substrate is electroless plated a Co—W—P film on the surfaces of the copper conductive regions in a first plating solution that contains cobalt ions, tungstate ions, citrate ions and a reducing agent. After the substrate coated with the Co—W—P film is rinsed in a second rinsing step by distilled water, the substrate is immersed in a second electroless plating solution for depositing a Au layer on top of the Co—W—P film. The present invention novel quaternary alloy film can be used as an effective diffusion barrier layer between a copper interconnect and silicon substrate or SiO2 dielectric layers.

摘要:
A carrier structure and method for fabricating a carrier structure with through-vias each having a conductive structure with an effective coefficient of thermal expansion which is less than or closely matched to that of the substrate, and having an effective elastic modulus value which is less than or closely matches that of the substrate. The conductive structure may include concentric via fill areas having differing materials disposed concentrically therein, a core of the substrate material surrounded by an annular ring of conductive material, a core of CTE-matched non-conductive material surrounded by an annular ring of conductive material, a conductive via having an inner void with low CTE, or a full fill of a conductive composite material such as a metal-ceramic paste which has been sintered or fused.
摘要:
Pastes of dendrite particles coated with an electrically conductive coating are described. A surface is placed in contact with an electrolytic or electroless plating solution. Dendrites are formed on the surface. The dendrites are exposed to another plating solution to plate a coating on the surface of the dendrites. The coated dendrites are removed from the surface to form a powder of coated dendrites. The powder is added to a polymer material to form a paste. The paste is disposed between electrical contacts on adjacent surfaces. The paste is heated to fuse the dendrite surfaces to form a network of fused dendrites which are also fused to the electrical contacts. The paste is further heated to cure the polymer to form electrical interconnections between the electrical contacts on the adjacent surfaces.
