The present invention relates to interconnection structures for joinlng a microminiaturized CompQnent on one substrate ~o circuitry on another sub~tratë, and, more particularly, to a structurë for forming solder - ~ i~terconnection joints having improved fatigue life and being ~ery close together as well as to a method of making such interconnection structures.

2~r,l~hs~,s W09l/11833 PCr/US91/0035 the aforementioned patent, as well as other solder interconnection structures of the art, u~ilize beads o~ ~older whlch fit upon the ~urface of a 6ub~rate and which are solderably attached to solder-wettable land pad~ via melting of the solder when the solder is in contact with the land pads.
The solder int~rconnection structures of the prior art can flow laterally along the surfaces of the two sub6trates which are being joined together when the interconnects or vias are formed. This limits how close together the vias are, or, as the term is used in the art, the density of vias attainable, With integrated circuit semiconductor devices being produced in smaller and smaller sizes the need for a very high density of vias, beyond that of the prior art, becomes increasingly important.
It is also desirable to very carefully control where vi~s are to be positioned. When drops c,f solder are deposited on a surface a small misplacement of one or more such drops can oc~ur. As a result, any final device which results from soldering, and thereby forming vias between two substrates, can fail simpiy due to the mi~placement of a drop of soldér on a surface.
The present invention is directed to overcomi~g one or morë of the problems as set forth ' ~ a~ove.

The flat surfaces 18 and 23 are, in the embodlment of Figure 3, ln abuttins relatlon to one another following formation of the solder interconnection 10. In such an instance, each of the posts 22 must extend no further from the flat surface 23 of the second substrate 14 than the corresponding well 16 extends into the flat surface 18 of the first substrate 12. If desired, the flat surfaces 18 and 23 may be in adjacent but non-touching relationship.
Figures l and 2 illustrate an embodiment ', where an intermediate polymeric layer 25 is deposited over one of the flat surfaces 18 and 23 (as shown in ~' , Figure 1 the layer 25 i's on the flat surace 23).
lS The layer 25 can serve to increase the effective size of the wells l6-whether it is initially present on the surface 23, as illustrated, or on the surface 18.
~'~ When the substrates l2 and l4 are brought together ~', with the formation of the solder interconnection lO
~, 20 the layer 25,is then present and aids in preventing ,; , flow of molten solder along the abutting surfaces.
~' ,,, It.also prevents fluid from,flowing.laterally-,between th~ substrates 12-~and 14 if the solder' nterconnection 10 is immersed. Since the layer 25 is polymeric it has some give,thus-,alleviating''-' stresses whereby,alignment~of:the,surfaces 18 and 23 '~ becomes less critical.,,,-;, f~

The polymer layer 25 can be formed by any o_ a number of ~echniques. For example, lf the posts 22 have reasonably sharp points 27 as illustrated, spin . casting, palnting or dipping the surface 23 will provide the desired layer 25 with the points 27 ..
extending through the layer 25. If'the posts 22 do . not have points 27, it is best to use silk'screening techniques to assure that ~he pOfits 22 extend beyond the layer 25.
Utilizing anisotropic etching technology or - laser drilling technology .the wells 16 can be placed very close to one another. For example, the spacing , 15 on a center-to-center.basis of the wells 16 can be :` . less than 100 microns and can generally be as small . .

It should be noted that insteac of tne microelectrochemical cell 33 as i~ showr. in Figure 1 the conductor 26 can lead to any desired device, for example, an integrated circuit. Similarly, the posts - 10 22 can be interconnected with any de~ired device on the second substrate 14, for example, an integrated circuit.
In accordance with the present invention the posts 22 can be created by a modified bu~p bonder of the type commonly used in semiconductor fabrication.
Basically, molten metal is connected to desired spots ~ on the substrate 14 and the bump bonder and the `~ substrate 14 are moved apart thus drawing out and forming the posts 22 as the molten metal solidifies ~ 20 and thereby also providing the points 2?. Any - desired metal which can be drawn in this manner and which~is sufficiently conductive can be used.~ Gold `~ works particularly well. - .
I~ The first and second substrates 12 and 14 .. 25 can be made of.any of a number of materials. For -- example, the substrate may be made of an-.insulatiYe material., that is, a dielectric material;~.-such as a ~` non-conducting plastic or glass,jif,-~for example, the microelectronic co~ponent on the particular substrate 12 or 14 i6 a microelectrochemical cell or half~cell which must be electrically isolated.

In accordance with the method of the invention a plurality of 601der I~O connections are provided betw~en the f1rst ~ubstrate 12 a~d th~
second substrate 14. The method of formation .~ :. comprises creating a plurality of the wells 16 ` -- arrayed in a pattern and with each well 16 extending ~: 10 into the first substrate 12 from its flat surface 18.
A plurality of aliquots or drops 20 of solder are deposited, one in each of the wells 16. Each of the . aliquots or drops 20 are of substantially no greater . volume than the volume of the respective well 16 .` 15 which it occupies. A plurality of conductive posts :~ 22 are provided which extend outwardly from the flat surface 23 of the second substrate 14.

depositing a plurality of aliquots of solder, one in each of said wells, each of said aliquots being of substantially no greater volume than that of the respective well it occupies;
providing a plurality of conductive posts extending outwardly from a flat surface of said second substrate, said posts being arrayed in alignment with the pattern of said wells;
heating said first substrate sufficiently to melt the solder in said wells;
inserting each post into the molten solder in the corresponding one of said wells; and allowing said solder to solidify.
9. A method as set forth in claim 8, wherein said wells are created by anisotropic etching.
10. A method as set forth in claim 9, wherein said posts are created by:
bump bonding metal to positions on said flat surface of said second substrate corresponding with the desired array of posts with a bump bonder; and moving said bump bonder and said second substrate apart to draw out said metal and form said posts.
11. A method as set forth in claim 8, wherein said posts are created by:
bump bonding metal to positions on said flat surface of said second substrate corresponding with the desired array of posts with a bump bonder; and moving said bump bonder and said second substrate apart to draw out said metal and form said posts.
12. A method as set forth in claim 8, wherein said first substrate includes an electrochemical sensor having an electrode in electrical conductive communication with said solder in said wells.
13. A method as set forth in claim 8, wherein said second substrate includes an integrated circuit having an electrode in electrical conductive communication with said posts.
14. A method as set forth in claim 8, wherein each of said posts extends no further from said flat surface of said second substrate than the aligned well extends into said flat surface of said first substrate and wherein said inserting is to a sufficient depth whereby said flat surfaces abut one another.
15. A method as set forth in claim 8, further including, before inserting said posts into the molten solder:
positioning a polymeric layer between said flat surfaces.
16. A method as set forth in claim 15, wherein said wells are created by anisotropic etching.
17. A method as set forth in claim 16, wherein said posts are created by:
bump bonding metal to positions on said flat surface of said second substrate corresponding with the desired array of posts with a bump bonder; and moving said bump bonder and said second substrate apart to draw out said metal and form said posts.
18. A method as set forth in claim 15, wherein said posts are created by:
bump bonding metal to positions on said flat surface of said second substrate corresponding with the desired array of posts with a bump bonder; and moving said bump bonder and said second substrate apart to draw out said metal and form said posts.
19. A method as set forth in claim 15, wherein said first substrate includes an electrochemical sensor having an electrode in electrical conductive communication with said solder in said wells.
20. A method as set forth in claim 15, wherein said second substrate includes an integrated circuit having an electrode in electrical conductive communication with said posts.
