    Abstract: A method of preparing a semiconductor wafer having a integrated circuits formed on it that have pads formed of copper includes the steps of removing oxide from the copper pads and then the vacuum packing the wafer in a shock-proof container. The oxide may be removed from the copper pads in a number of ways. A first way includes cleaning the wafer in an alkaline solution, performing acid neutralization on the cleaned wafer, and then drying the wafer. A second way includes cleaning the wafer with an acid solution, rinsing the acid cleaned wafer with water, applying an anti-oxidant activator to the surface of the copper pads, rinsing the wafer with water after the application of the anti-oxidant activator, and then drying the water rinsed wafer. Yet a third way includes plasma cleaning the copper pads using a combination of about 5-10% Hydrogen and about 90-95% Argon and then sputtering a very thin layer of aluminum on a surface of the copper pads. The layer of aluminum has a thickness of about 1-5 nanometers.

    Abstract: An image sensor device is made using an ultra-thin substrate so that the overall device height is less than 1.0 mm. The image sensor includes a flexible circuit substrate having first and second opposing sides, the first side having a central area and an outer, bonding pad area including bonding pads. A sensor integrated circuit (IC) is attached to the central area of the first side of the circuit substrate. The IC has an active area and a peripheral bonding pad area including bonding pads. Wires are wirebonded to respective ones of the IC bonding pads and corresponding ones of the circuit substrate bonding pads to electrically connect the IC and the circuit substrate. A wall having a first end with a step and a second end has its second end attached to an outer portion beyond the outer bonding pad area of the first side of the flexible circuit substrate. The wall at least partially surrounds the sensor integrated circuit. A transparent cover is located above the IC such that light can pass through the cover onto the IC active area. Opposing edges of the cover are secured within the step of the wall. Solder balls are attached to the second side of the circuit substrate. The circuit substrate provides for electrical interconnect between the solder balls and the bonding pads on the first side of the circuit substrate.
