Technical Field

Background
The electrode system of the semiconductor device comprises a metallization layer, a wire bonding, and an ohmic contact between the chip and the base, which play a role in transferring power, and the device requires that the electrode system itself does not consume electric power, but only plays a role in transferring, and the electrode system is very important to the exposability of the device. Metallization systems are closely related to the yield and reliability of devices and their semiconductors.
In silicon devices, the most widely used metallization material is aluminum. Most silicon devices produced today are metallized with aluminum or aluminum metal. When the device works, certain current passes through the aluminum strips, and practice shows that aluminum ions in the electrified aluminum strips can be transmitted along the direction of electron current, and the transmission is more remarkable under the action of high temperature and large current density. After a long time, voids appear in the aluminum strips, and the voids gradually gather to cause open circuits, which is an electromigration phenomenon, also called electromigration or electrical jitter. The improvement of the metallization system is one of effective measures for improving the metallization system to prevent the device from electromigration failure, and the failure of the metallization system has a close relationship with factors such as a metallization material evaporation process, a passivation process, an alloy process and the like.
