Background technology
Along with the continuous development of integrated circuit technique, electronic product more and more develops to miniaturization, intellectuality, high-performance and high reliability direction.And the integrated circuit encapsulation not only directly affects integrated circuit, electronic module and even machine performance, but also is restricting miniaturization, low cost and the reliability of whole electronic system.Progressively dwindle in the integrated circuit (IC) wafer size, under the situation that integrated level improves constantly, electronics industry has proposed more and more higher requirement to the integrated circuit encapsulation technology.
Flip-chip (flip chip) technology is the soldered ball that forms by at chip surface, the chip upset is formed with base plate to be connected, thereby reduce package dimension, satisfy the high-performance (as high speed, high frequency, littler pin) of electronic product, the requirement of little profile, make product have good electric property and heat transfer property.
Salient point (bump) manufacturing technology is a key technology in the flip-chip.Salient point of the prior art be scolder by certain process deposits on chip metal bed course, the metal soldered ball that reflux to form through uniform temperature.Concrete technology is as follows: as shown in Figure 1, dispose metal bed course 104 and the passivation layer 102 in order to protect chip 100 surfaces and metal bed course 104 is exposed on chip 100; On passivation layer 102 and metal bed course 104, form screen 105 by sputter or evaporation process, the effect of described screen 105 is to keep good adhesion with metal bed course 104, and effectively stop the phase counterdiffusion of follow-up convex point material with metal bed course 104, the material of described screen 105 is constituting of a kind of in titanium, tungsten, the chromium or they; Form ubm layer 106 with sputtering method on screen 105, its effect is a protection metal bed course 104 in follow-up reflux technique, and ubm layer 106 can be constituting of a kind of among Al, Ni, Cu, Ti, Cr, Au, the Pd or they.
Then please refer to Fig. 2, on ubm layer 106, form photoresist layer 107, define metal bed course 104 shapes, expose then, developing process by existing photoetching technique, in photoresist layer 107, form opening, expose the ubm layer 106 on the metal bed course 104 of lower floor; With photoresist layer 107 is mask, forms solder layer 108 on the ubm layer 106 in opening, and the method that forms solder layer 108 is galvanoplastic, and described solder layer 108 is tin or leypewter.
