In this study, failure mechanisms of Au stud bumps/ACF flip chip joints were investigated underhigh current stressing condition. For the determination of allowable currents, I-V tests were performed on flip chip joints, and applied currents were measured as high as almost 4.2Amps $(4.42\times10^4\;Amp/cm^2)$. Degradation of flip chip joints was observed by in-situ monitoring of Au stud bumps-Al pads contact resistance. All failures, defined at infinite resistance, occurred at upward electron flow (from PCB pads to chip pads) applied bumps (UEB). However, failure did not occur at downward electron flow applied bumps (DEB). Only several $m\Omega$ contact resistance increased because of Au-Al intermetallic compound (IMC) growth. This polarity effect of Au stud bumps was different from that of solder bumps, and the mechanism was investigated by the calculation of chemical and electrical atomic flux. According to SEM and EDS results, major IMC phase was $Au_5Al_2$, and crack propagated along the interface between Au stud bump and IMC resulting in electrical failures at UEB. Therefore. failure mechanisms at Au stud bump/ACF flip chip Joint undo high current density condition are: 1) crack propagation, accompanied with Au-Al IMC growth. reduces contact area resulting in contact resistance increase; and 2) the polarity effect, depending on the direction of electrons. induces and accelerates the interfacial failure at UEBs.

The effects of Al micro-bumps on the magnetic properties of CoCr(Pt)Ta/Cr films deposited on glass substrates were investigated. The coercivity increased and the coercivity squareness decreased by incorporating Cr/Al underlayers. The cause of the coercivity increase is attributed to the reduction of Co(0002) texture, the increase of magnetic isolation of CoCr(Pt)/Ta grains, and the refinement of CoCr(Pt)/Ta grains deposited on Cr/Al underlayers. The effects of an Al overlayer on the magnetic properties of CoCr(Pt)Ta/Cr films were also studied. The decrease of coercivity squareness is ascribed to the magnetic isolation of CoCr(Pt)Ta grains.

Reactions between 48Sn-52In solder and under bump metallurgies(UBM) such as 100nm $Ti/8{\mu}m$ Cu and 300nm Al/400nm Ni(V)/400nm Cu have been investigated, and the shear strength of 48Sn-52In solder bumps on each UBM has been evaluated. While intermetallic compounds with two different morphologies were continuously thickened on Ti/Cu with repeating the reflow process, the intermetallics on Al/Ni(V)/Cu spalled into the solder with increasing the number of reflow times. The solder bumps on Ti/Cu exhibited higher shear strength than those on Al/Ni(V)/Cu.

본 실험에서는 Non-Conductive Adhesive (NCA) 와 고분자 범프를 이용한 COG (Chip-on-glass) 접합에 대하여 연구하였다. 산화막이 증착된 Si 기판 위에 고분자 범프를 사진식각 방법으로 형성하고, 고분자 범프 위에 직류 마그네트론 스퍼터링 방법으로 금속 박막층을 증착하였다. 기판으로는 Al을 증착한 유리기판을 사용하였다. 두 종류의 NCA를 사용하여 $80^{\circ}C$에서 하중을 변화시켜가며 접합을 실시하였다. 접합부의 특성을 평가하기 위하여 4단자 저항 측정법을 이용하여 접합부의 접속 저항을 측정하였으며, 주사전자현미경을 이용하여 접합부를 관찰하였다. 신뢰성은 $0^{\circ}C$ 와 $55^{\circ}C$ 사이에서 열충격 실험을 2000회까지 실시하여 평가하였다. 신뢰성 측정 전 접합부의 저항 값은 $70-90m{\Omega}$을 나타내었다. 200MPa 이상의 접합 압력에서는 고분자 범프가 NCA 의 필러 파티클에 의해 손상된 것을 관찰하였다. 신뢰성 측정 후 일부 범프가 fail 되었는데 범프의 fail 원인은 범프의 윗부분보다 상대적으로 금속층이 얇게 증착된 범프의 모서리 부분의 금속층의 끊어졌기 때문이었다.

The electroplating process for a solder bump which can be applied for a flip chip was studied. Si-wafer was used for an experimental substrate, and the substrate were coated with UBM (Under Bump Metallization) of Al(400 nm)/Cu(300 nm)Ni(400 nm)/Au(20 nm) subsequently. The compositions of the bump were Sn-Cu and eutectic Sn-Pb, and characteristics of two bumps were compared. Experimental results showed that the electroplated thickness of the solders were increased with time, and the increasing rates were TEX>$0.45 <\mu\textrm{m}$/min for the Sn-Cu and $ 0.35\mu\textrm{m}$/min for the Sn-Pb. In the case of Sn-Cu, electroplating rate increased from 0.25 to $2.7\mu\textrm{m}$/min with increasing current density from 1 to 8.5 $A/dm^2$. In the case of Sn-Pb the rate increased until the current density became $4 A/dm^2$, and after that current density the rate maintains constant value of $0.62\mu\textrm{m}$/min. The electro plated bumps were air reflowed to form spherical bumps, and their bonded shear strengths were evaluated. The shear strength reached at the reflow time of 10 sec, and the strength was of 113 gf for Sn-Cu and 120 gf for Sn-Pb.

Cu is considered as a promising alternative interconnection material to Al-based interconnection materials in Si-based integrated circuits due to its low resistivity and superior resistance to the electromigration. New humping and UBM material systems for solder flip chip interconnection of Cu pads were investigated using electroless-plated copper (E-Cu) and electroless-plated nickel (E-Ni) plating methods as low cost alternatives. Optimally designed E-Ni/E-Cu UBM bilayer material system can be used not only as UBMs for solder bumps but also as bump itself. Electroless-plated E-Ni/E-Cu bumps assembled using anisotropic conductive adhesives on an organic substrate is successfully demonstrated and characterized in this study

In the flip chip interconnection on organic substrates using eutectic Pb/Sn solder bumps highly reliable Under Bump Metallurgy (UBM) is required to maintain adhesion and solder wettability. Various UBM systems such as 1$\mu$m Al/0.2$\mu$m Pd/1$\mu$m Cu, laid under eutectic Pb/Sn solder were investigated with regard to their interfacial reactions and adhesion proper-ties. The effects of numbers of solder reflow and aging time on the growth of intermetallic compounds (IMCs) and on the solder ball shear strength were investigated. Good ball shear strength was obtained with 1$\mu$m Al/0.2$\mu$m Ti/5$\mu$m Cu and 1$\mu$m Al/0.2$\mu$m ni/1$\mu$m Cu even after 4 solder reflows or 7 day aging at 15$0^{\circ}C$. In contrast 1$\mu$m Al/0.2$\mu$m Ti/1$\mu$m Cu and 1$\mu$mAl/0.2$\mu$m Pd/1$\mu$m 쳐 show poor ball shear strength. The decrease of the shear strength was mainly due to the direct contact between solder and nonwettable metal such as Ti and Al resulting in a delamination. In this case thin 1$\mu$m Cu and 0.2$\mu$m Pd diffusion barrier layer were completely consumed by Cu-Sn and pd-Sn reaction.

In the present work, a low cost and fine pitch bumping process by electroless Ni/immersion Au UBM (under bump metallurgy) and stencil printing for the solder bump on the Al pad is discussed. The Chip used this experimental had an array of pad 14x14 and zincate catalyst treatment is applied as the pretreatment of Al bond pad, it was shown that the second zincating process produced a dense continuous zincating layer compared to first zincating. Ni UBM was analyzed using Scanning electron microscopy, Energy dispersive x-ray, Atomic force microscopy, and X-ray diffractometer. The electroless Ni-P had amorphous structures in as-plated condition. and crystallized at 321 C to Ni and Ni$_3$P. Solder bumps are formed on without bridge or missing bump by stencil print solder bump process.

5인치 실리콘 기판위에 수 회 코팅기술을 이용하여 두꺼운 감광막을 얻은 후, 전기도금 법으로 솔더범프를 형성하고, 비아크기의 변화에 따른 리플로 전과, 후의 솔더범프 형성에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 리플로 전의 범프바닥 (bump bottom) 직경은 리플로 후에도 거의 변화가 없는 반면, 솔더범프 모양은 패턴된 비아직경 크기에 크게 의존했다. 비아직경이 클수록 높은 도금효율을 보였다. 비아직경이 작을수록 리플로 후의 범프는 리플로 전의 범프높이와 비교하여 크게 낮아졌지만, aspect ratio는 크다는 것을 알았다. 고밀도와 고aspect ratio를 갖는 범프를 얻기 위하여 비아직경과 범프피치를 줄여야하지만, 과도금 (overplating), 또는 리플로를 할 때 최인접 간 범프끼리 맞닿을 수 있기 때문에 최인접 간 범프거리 확보는 중요하다. 비아높이(film두께)를 높게 하여 과도금을 하지 않고 비아높이가지만 도금하여 과도금으로 인한 최인접 범프끼리의 맞닿음을 없애는 방법과 범프배열을 zig-zag로 하는 방법을 혼용하면 과도금, 또는 리플로를 할 때 최인접 범프 간에 맞닿는 문제는 어느 정도 해결할 수 있다.
