Description
- This application is a division of U.S. Ser. No. 12/762,610, filed on Apr. 19, 2010.
- The invention relates generally to micro pin hybrid interconnect arrays and more particularly to a micro pin hybrid interconnect array structure and method for creating the structure that minimizes coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) mismatches between a crystal and the substrate to which it is attached.
- Cadmium zinc telluride (CZT) and cadmium telluride (CdTe) crystals are extremely brittle materials and pose great difficulties in packaging, especially for large and thin crystals. Recent discoveries have shown that micro-cracks form in the CZT adjacent to the interconnect produced using a low temperature conductive epoxy adhesive. The CTE mismatch between a crystal and the substrate induces substantial strain in the interconnect to crystal interface, causing severe reliability problems, especially when using organic substrates that have a CTE of 11 ppm/C or greater. The greatest strain often occurs when the parts are cured (if using an adhesive process) or reflowed (if using a solder process).
- Substrate materials are typically selected with a CTE matched as closely as possible to the crystal to minimize the global strain generated during thermal cycling, as the substrate and crystal expand and contract. Alumina ceramic substrates are usually chosen for use with CZT detectors.
- Further analysis has indicated that micro-cracks can form in CZT crystals mounted on ceramic substrates with conductive epoxy interconnects, as a result of local CTE mismatches between the conductive adhesive and CZT, within a single interconnection point. Conductive epoxies are known to have CTEs much higher than CZT. Also, when the temperature exceeds the glass transition temperature (Tg), of the epoxy, the CTE dramatically increases to values typically 4-5 times greater than the CTE below Tg.
- Indium bump bonding, conductive adhesives and low temperature solder are currently used to attach CZT detector crystal substrates. Very little work has been done on the reliability of packages using these crystals; and the work done to date appears to be very limited when compared with industry standard packages. Thin (<5 mm) CZT and CdTe crystals are notoriously difficult to package without damage. CZT detectors are typically exposed to only the mildest reliability testing because they are known to be so fragile. It is well known that a 0.5 mm thick CdTe crystal can easily crack, even when carefully handled. The likelihood for cracking is very high when this type of crystal is attached to a high CTE interposer, such as an organic interposer.
- It would therefore be advantageous to provide a structure for interconnecting CZT and/or CdTe to an interposer that offers low local strain and that can accommodate conventional attachment methods available today to manufacturers.
- Briefly, in accordance with one embodiment, a micro pin hybrid interconnect array comprises a crystal anode array and a ceramic substrate, wherein the crystal and substrate are joined together via an interconnect geometry having a large aspect ratio of height to width, wherein the joint affixing the interconnect to the crystal anode array is devoid of solder.
- According to another embodiment, a micro pin hybrid interconnect array comprises a crystal anode array and a ceramic substrate, wherein the array and substrate are joined together via a compliant micro pin hybrid interconnect configuration such that mechanical strains between the array and interconnect during temperature excursions remain below that achieved using conventional solder bump bonding to join a crystal anode array to a ceramic substrate.
- According to yet another embodiment, a method of forming a micro pin hybrid interconnect array comprises providing a crystal anode array and a ceramic substrate, and joining together the array and substrate via an compliant micro pin hybrid interconnect configuration that reduces local strain in each region where the array and substrate are joined together, such that mechanical strains between the array and the interconnect during temperature excursions remain below that achievable using solder bonding to join a crystal anode array to an interconnect to form a micro pin hybrid interconnect array.

FIG. 1 illustrates a micro pinhybrid interconnect array 10 that employs copper stud orpillar interconnects 12 attached to aceramic substrate 14 withsolder 15 and further attached to oneanode pad 16 of acrystal anode array 18 without solder according to one embodiment. A preferred method for creating this type of interconnection according to one embodiment comprises first cleaning thecrystal anode array 18. Subsequent to cleaning thecrystal anode array 18, deposition of a under bump metallization (UBM) layer (Ti—W, Ni, Au or Ti—W, Cu, Ni, Au) to form ananode pad 16 on the crystal followed by aphotoresist sheet 20 is applied to theanode pad 16. Thephotoresist sheet 20 is then patterned to formopenings 22 in thephotoresist sheet 20. Theopenings 22 are plated up with copper (Cu) via electrolytic or electroless plating to form high aspect ratio height towidth Cu pillars 12. Theremaining photoresist 20 is then removed, leaving only theCu pillars 12 that are now attached to theanode pad 16 of thecrystal anode array 18. - A solder paste, e.g. type 6 or finer paste, may then be applied to the
substrate 14 in areas where the attachment will be made between theCu pillars 12 andcircuit metallization 24 on theceramic substrate 14. The solder paste is then reflowed to form solder deposits. The solder deposits may be coined to ensure they are substantially flat and of substantially equal height according to one aspect of the invention. Next, a solder flux is applied over thewhole substrate 14, covering the solder deposits. Subsequent to application of the solder flux, theCu pillars 12 attached to thecrystal anode array 18 are positioned such that eachCu pillar 12 is aligned with a corresponding solder deposit on thesubstrate 14. The solder is again reflowed to form ametallurgical joint 15 between the solder and acorresponding Cu pillar 12. Self-alignment of thecrystal anode array 18 to theceramic substrate 14 occurs during this reflow process. Any residual flux remaining on the resultant micro pinhybrid interconnect array 10 may be removed by cleaning if the solder flux is water-soluble. Finally, thesubstrate 14 may be conditioned by using plasma etching and subsequent application of an underfill according to one aspect of the invention. - Coining of the foregoing solder deposits is not required if the solder paste is not reflowed as described above. Further, flux may be applied to only the interconnection points according to one aspect, by dipping the tips of the
Cu pillars 12 into the flux. Testing of the resultant micro pinhybrid interconnect array 10 can be employed to determine the yield of the interconnections following the reflow process that formsmetallurgical joints 15 between the solder andCu pillars 12. Any insufficient interconnections can then be reworked if found to be necessary or desirable. -
FIG. 2 illustrates a micro pinhybrid interconnect array 30 that employs gold stud bumps or platedpillar interconnects 32 attached to both aceramic substrate 14 and to acrystal anode array 18 via compression bonding devoid of solder according to another embodiment. The stud bumps or platedpillars 32 are joined via a compressive displacement bonding process to one ormore substrate pads 34 that may each comprise a noble metal plated pad on thesubstrate 14 according to one embodiment. Alow temperature underfill 36 that encapsulates theinterposers 32 may be used that cures during the foregoing bonding operation according to one embodiment. The foregoing bonding process can be done at room temperature, and so allows thesubstrate 14 to have a larger CTE mismatch with thecrystal 18 without producing any excessive strain. - One bonding process to achieve the micro pin hybrid
interconnect array structure 30 commences by first cleaning acrystal anode array 18. Gold stud bumps or platedpillars 32 are next applied to the UBM anode pad on the array pixel via a compressive displacement bonding process or via a low temperature solder attach process such as that described herein with reference toFIG. 1 . Anepoxy underfill 36 is then applied to the surface of thesubstrate 14 to encapsulate the gold stud bumps or platedpillars 32. Thecrystal anode array 18 is positioned such that the bumps orpillars 32 align withcorresponding substrate pads 34. Subsequent to aligning the bumps orpillars 32 with thecorresponding substrate pads 34, pressure is applied to achieve the requisite compressive displacement bonding force between each bump orpillar 32 and itscorresponding substrate pad 34. Subsequent to completion of the foregoing bonding process, heat can be applied to theepoxy underfill 36 if necessary to cure theunderfill 36. -
FIG. 3 illustrates a micro pinhybrid interconnect array 40 that employs gold stud bumps or platedpillar interconnects 42 attached to aceramic substrate 14 via a fine deposit ofconductive epoxy 44 and further attached to acrystal anode array 18 without solder or epoxy according to yet another embodiment. Each gold stud bump or platedpillar 42 is embedded in a fine deposit of conductive epoxy where it is attached to thesubstrate 14 as shown. Each bump orpillar 42 preferably has an aspect of height to width that is greater than one. - Micro pin
hybrid interconnect array 40 can be formed according to one embodiment by first cleaning thecrystal anode array 18. Gold plating or stud bumping is then employed to form gold stud bumps or platedpillars 42 using a process such as described herein with reference toFIGS. 1 and 2 . Fine deposits of conductiveadhesive paste 44 are applied ontosubstrate pads 34 using, for example, stencil printing or syringe dispensing processes. The bumps orpillars 42 attached to thecrystal anode array 18 are then aligned with corresponding deposits of conductive epoxy (adhesive paste) 44 and pressed into place. The adhesive 44 is then temperature cured, and plasma etching is applied if deemed necessary. An underfill such asunderfill 36 described with reference toFIG. 2 can be employed if deemed necessary to accommodate a particular application. - Although the micro pin hybrid interconnect arrays described herein are shown using a single interconnect applied to each detector-substrate electrode pair, it shall be understood that the invention is not so limited, and that each detector-substrate electrode pair can just as easily be implemented using multiple small diameter interconnections on each electrode. The use of multiple small diameter interconnections on each electrode allow for use of higher aspect ratio of height to width interposers, providing greater stress relief, and improving reliability. Multiple small diameter interconnections, for example, increases reliability through redundancy in the connections.
- In summary explanation, embodiments of a micro pin hybrid interconnect array in accordance with the principles described herein includes a crystal anode array and a ceramic substrate. The array and substrate are joined together using an interconnect geometry having a large aspect ratio of height to width. The joint affixing the interconnect to the crystal anode array is devoid of solder.
- A micro pin hybrid interconnect array implemented in accordance with the principles described herein advantageously does not require a complex and unique under bump metallization (UBM) structure on an anode pad to withstand the consumption of a very thin Au electrode during a reflow solder process because the pads on the detector crystal are not directly exposed to the solder of flux. The high aspect ratio of height to width bump or pillar interconnects allows them to bend slightly to accommodate strain caused by any CTE mismatch with the substrate over thermal cycling required for solder reflow. This feature prevents cracking of the fragile detector crystal during processing and in its use environment.
- Once the bumps or pillar interconnects are formed on the CZT, the remainder of the processing can advantageously be implemented using widely available manufacturing equipment. Further, plating processes employed when forming the bumps or pillar interconnects does not require particularly expensive or specialized equipment.
- Detector crystals advantageously are exposed to minimal mechanical handling during processing according to the principles described herein. Further, interconnects can be reworked prior to underfilling when utilizing processes described herein with reference to
FIGS. 1 and 2 . - Further, a micro pin hybrid interconnect array implemented in accordance with the principles described herein advantageously can provide very fine pitch anode arrays down to a pitch of about 0.050 mm. Known processes used to accomplish this feature are disadvantageous in that they are very expensive and are not compatible with conventional processing equipment and methods. A micro pin hybrid interconnect array implemented in accordance with the principles described herein, for example, advantageously is self-aligning during the reflow process, which reduces the required precision in alignment and placement of the crystal on the substrate.
- While only certain features of the invention have been illustrated and described herein, many modifications and changes will occur to those skilled in the art. It is, therefore, to be understood that the appended claims are intended to cover all such modifications and changes as fall within the true spirit of the invention.
