Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of semiconductor packaging, in particular to a flip bonding structure convenient for welding and a preparation method thereof.
Background
In conventional IC chips, the chip is electrically connected to a substrate, such as BGA, LGA, etc., by wire bonding. But limited by the wire bonding structure, the wire bonding distance is long, the transmission rate is slow, the loss is large, the requirement of more I/O quantity is difficult to meet, and the wire bonding structure cannot be applied to some high-end field products such as a CPU, a memory chip and the like. In the semiconductor packaging industry, flip Chip technology has therefore grown, which is different from conventional wire bonding technology in that chips are connected to a substrate by metal bumps with their front surfaces facing downward, and is commonly referred to as Flip Chip (FC) because of the different front surfaces as compared to chips in conventional wire bonding. The flip chip technology has excellent electrical property and thermal property, greatly improves the I/O number of the product, has short connection distance and remarkably improves the signal transmission rate; in addition, compared with the wire bonding technology, the flip chip technology can be completed in one working section, so that the working procedure is simplified and the production efficiency is improved.
The flip chip is composed of a wafer, a bonding pad, a passivation layer, a dielectric layer and a metal bump structure, wherein the metal bump structure is composed of a bump bottom metal layer, a bump column, a diffusion barrier layer and solder, the material commonly applied to the solder is tin or tin silver, and the solder is connected to the metal layer bonding pad of the substrate by using a reflow soldering technology to complete the preparation of the flip bonding structure. Because of the characteristics of the metal bump structure, the top solder is generally thinner, and the problem that the tin amount is insufficient, the insufficient cold joint or adhesion force and the like can be caused, so that the mechanical property and the reliability of the product are greatly influenced. In addition, in the reflow soldering process, the fluidity of the melted solder is enhanced, so that the solder climbing height is possibly too high, or the solder overflows to the area outside the window of the solder mask layer of the substrate, thereby affecting the product performance and generating the problem of solder bridging. Therefore, new techniques are needed to alleviate the problems of insufficient tin and solder bridging.

Preferably, the bump bottom metal layer comprises an adhesion layer, a barrier layer and a wetting layer which are sequentially arranged from bottom to top, the adhesion layer is arranged on the bonding pad, and the bottom of the bottom bump is connected with the top of the wetting layer.
Preferably, the diffusion barrier layer comprises a first diffusion barrier layer and a second diffusion barrier layer, the bottom of the first diffusion barrier layer is arranged at the top of the top salient point, the lower surface of the second diffusion barrier layer is connected with the upper surface of the middle salient point, and the side surface of the second diffusion barrier layer is connected with the side surface of the top salient point.

Compared with the traditional metal bump structure, the structure has more solder content on the premise of keeping the height unchanged, has larger contact area between the solder and the substrate, and can provide better reflow soldering reliability and mechanical property; in addition, the metal pad concave structure can lead the melted solder to flow towards the concave part during reflow soldering, and avoid the adverse effects of solder bridging and the like caused by overflow to the area outside the window of the metal layer; meanwhile, the second bump pillar structure can control the tin climbing height, and the overlarge or undersize area of the bump pillar side surface covered by solder is avoided, so that the performance of the metal bump structure is improved.
