Abstract
Description
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Erzeugung von Kontakthöckern auf integrierten Schaltkreisen. Die Problemstellung ist es dabei, den für die Herstellung der Kontakthöckern im Stand der Technik benötigten (aufwendigen) Sputterprozeß zu vermeiden.The present invention relates to a production method of bumps on integrated circuits. The The problem is that for the production of the Contact bumps required in the prior art (complex) Avoid sputtering.
Bei der Flip Chip - oder Tape Automated Bonding (TAB) - Technik handelt es sich um Kontaktierungsverfahren, bei denen der Chip über Kontakthöcker (Bumps) mit einer Leiterbahnstruktur auf (Halbleiter-)Substraten verbunden wird. Diese Verfahren ermöglichen hohe Anschlußzahlen auf kleinstem Raum, geringere Induktivitäten im Vergleich zu Draht-Bondverbindungen und eine verbesserte Wärmeabfuhr. Als Bumps für die Flip Chip und TAB Technik werden derzeit im wesentlichen Lotbumps oder Goldbumps eingesetzt. Diese Prozesse erfordern ganze Wafer sowie den Einsatz von Dünnfilmtechnologien (Sputtern, Photo resist-Strukturierung) in Kombination mit galvanischen Metallabscheideverfahren.With flip chip or tape automated bonding (TAB) technology are contacting methods in which the chip via contact bumps with a conductor track structure (Semiconductor) substrates is connected. This procedure enable high number of connections in the smallest space, less Inductors compared to wire bond connections and a improved heat dissipation. As bumps for the flip chip and TAB Technology is currently essentially solder bumps or gold bumps used. These processes require entire wafers as well Use of thin film technologies (sputtering, photo resist structuring) in combination with galvanic Metal deposition process.
Für die galvanische Abformung von Kontakthöckern im Photolack werden Wafer mit Aluminium-Bondpads und Passivierungsschicht verwendet. Die Passivierungsschicht überdeckt den gesamten Wafer - wodurch ein ausreichender Schutz der aktiven Elemente erreicht wird - nur die Aluminium-Bondpads sind ausgespart und an den Rändern durch die Passivierung überlappt. Die Bumps dürfen nicht direkt auf den Aluminium-Kontaktpads abgeschieden werden, da sich an den Grenzflächen zum Aluminium intermetallische Verbindungen ausbilden. Daher wird nach einem Sputterätzprozeß eine Haft- und Diffusionssperrschicht (z. B. TiW) aufgesputtert. Als Basis für die galvanisch abzuscheidenden Gold- oder Lotbumps wird eine zweite dünne Schicht aus Gold oder Kupfer aufgesputtert. Dieses Schichtsystem wird auch als Unterbumpmetallisierung bezeichnet. Zur Erzeugung der Bumps wird eine Galvanikmaske aus Photolack benötigt. Zur Erzielung einer hohen Kontaktdichte kann durch einen dicken Photolack das horizontale Wachstum begrenzt werden. Die galvanische Abformung der Bumps erfolgt in einem entsprechenden Metallbad.For the galvanic impression of bumps in the photoresist become wafers with aluminum bond pads and passivation layer used. The passivation layer covers the entire wafer - as a result adequate protection of the active elements is achieved is - only the aluminum bond pads are cut out and attached to the Passivation overlaps edges. The bumps are not allowed deposited directly on the aluminum contact pads, because themselves at the interfaces to aluminum intermetallic Form connections. Therefore, after a sputter etching process an adhesion and diffusion barrier layer (e.g. TiW) sputtered on. As the basis for the electro-depositable gold or solder bumps becomes a second thin layer of gold or copper sputtered on. This layer system is also called Underbump metallization called. To create the bumps an electroplating mask made of photoresist is required. To achieve a high contact density can be caused by a thick photoresist limit horizontal growth. The galvanic impression the bumps are carried out in an appropriate metal bath.
Die vorliegende Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zum Aufbringen einer metallischen Unterbumpmetallisierung und Platingbase für galvanische abformbare Kontakthöcker mittels einer außenstromlosen Metallabscheidung. Dadurch ist es möglich, auf den aufwendigen Sputterprozeß zu verzichten und die Kosten für das "Bumping" zu reduzieren.

Eine Passivierung 2 wird auf die Randbereiche der Aluminium-Basis 1 aufgetragen, sie wölbt sich dort leicht auf.In the figures, an aluminum bond pad 1 is applied to a substrate 3 . A passivation 2 is applied to the edge areas of the aluminum base 1 , it bulges slightly there.
Auf die Aluminiumbasis 1 wird eine etwa in ihrer Dicke vergleichbare Metallisierung, vorzugsweise aus Nickel, aufgebracht, so daß eine leitende Verbindung zwischen Basis 1 und Metallisierung 4 vorhanden ist. Die Höhe der Metallisierung 4 ist so gewählt, daß sie in etwa auf Höhe der Randwölbung 2a der Passivierungsschicht 2 gelangt oder spürbar bis deutlich darüber liegt (vgl. Fig. 1b und Fig. 2b). Auf die Metallisierung 4 wird eine leitfähige Schicht (Plating-Base) 5 abgeschieden, die dünn gegenüber der Metallisierung 4 oder dem Aluminium-Bondpad 1 ist. Auf diese Plating-Base 5 wird im Bereich der Metallisierung und des Bondpads 4, 1 ein deutlich höherer Metallhöcker 7 aufgesetzt, der den Kontakthöcker (Bump) bildet. Das Aufsetzen erfolgt mittels einer Gal vanik-Abscheidung, gesteuert durch Öffnungen eines umliegenden sehr dick ausgebildeten Photolacks 6. In seine Fenster 6a wird aus einem Galvanikbad der Metallhöcker 7 abgeschieden.Is applied to the aluminum base 1 about a comparable in thickness metallization, preferably nickel, is applied, so that a conductive connection between the base 1 and the metallization 4 is provided. The height of the metallization 4 is selected so that it approximately at the height of the edge 2 a curvature of the passivation layer 2 passes or perceptible to significantly higher located (see. Fig. 1b and Fig. 2b). A conductive layer (plating base) 5 is deposited on the metallization 4, the thin compared to the metallization 4 or the aluminum bonding pad 1. In the area of the metallization and the bond pad 4 , 1, a significantly higher metal bump 7 , which forms the bump, is placed on this plating base 5 .

In its window 6 a, the metal bump 7 is deposited from an electroplating bath.
