The UBM surface is required and is used as the final metal layer between the solder and the metal pad. The UBM must meet several requirements, including, but not limited to, a strong and stable low resistance connection between the final metal layers, which can be bonded so that the seal can be sealed. It is isolated from the outside world and provides other bump metal diffusion. Figs. 1A and 1B show an unprocessed conventional substrate 10, a final metal 12 of the element, and a crystal in the circular layer of the element passivation layer. It involves placing the wafer or substrate. In the tin-clad bump (solder I row electrical connection. The mounting is directly mounted on the semi-conducting contact. The obtained metallization is used as a solderable barrier layer. Provided with the most aluminum and passivated The layer is strongly resistive to prevent rounding. This component package 14. The substrate 10 5 200910557 may comprise a material including, but not limited to, germanium, gallium carbide, germanium or other suitable wafer substrate useful in the semiconductor industry. A metal, typically of the order of copper, gold or gold, or a composite formed. The element passivation layer 14 typically comprises tantalum nitride, nitrogen oxide or a passivation layer thereof that is not continuous, but has a defined passivation-free The ports, referred to as passivation openings, respectively, are generally rounded in the center of the element. These passivation openings define a region that is deposited by subsequent wafer layer or flip chip processing to make the wires and adhere to the substrate. 2 A shows a conventional top view formed by electroless nickel treatment, and Fig. 2B shows a cross-sectional view of UBM 16 treated with electroless nickel. This UBM 16 part is covered with passivation attached to the most The upper surface of the final metal 12 and forming a layer of about 1.0 micron or more UBM 16 provides for the placement of bumps and facilitates adhesion. However, the formation of UBM with electroless nickel has some other nickel deficiency and cannot adhere to the passivation layer. In some cases, the variation in the alloy causes uneven deposition of electroless nickel and the contact opening caused by the contact of the layer. This causes problems with electronic components and cannot provide stable, low-resistance electrical contacts. Water vapor may also be generated in such contact openings, so that the solder bumps are not bonded, thereby causing problems in the electrical contacts. Furthermore, it may be difficult to sink electronic components that are not suitable for depositing electroless nickel. For example, unless For each specific gold group, the acid clock, the component, and finally these materials and the like. The material's open-form and concentrated-level wafer scale can be used to form the metal layer UBM 16 into a conventional layer 14, a thick layer. J position. Point. The uniform purity of the metal is out of the ordinary, in this method properly accumulate electroless nickel and will optimize the chemical in the process of 200910557, otherwise pure aluminum, copper, and gold may not be The method adheres properly to the electroless nickel layer. Other final metal layers may not have the proper conductivity of the electroless nickel layer, and thus cannot provide a strong electrical connection. Other conventional flip chip and wafer level wafer sizes The package components use thin film sputtering to deposit a thin metal layer for use as a U B. However, these sputters are very expensive and not as thick as the electroless nickel layer. As a result, the thermomechanical performance of the UBM is poor. As the demand for UBM products increases, price and performance pressures also force the industry to look for better performing thin film deposition techniques. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION A feature of the present invention is to provide an electroless nickel on a metallized seed layer. A sub-bump metal structure that provides improved thermo-mechanical forces, consistent deposition, and structural and electrical compatibility with several final metal layers. [Embodiment] It is disclosed as an under bump metallization structure having a thin film metal layer which can be used as a seed layer for depositing electroless nickel or electroless nickel alloy. The seed layer can be any material or metal that can adhere to the electroless nickel. The combination of an electroless nickel layer and a metal seed layer creates a sub-bump metallization structure that provides improved thermal-mechanical robustness and shedding test performance. This improved mechanical performance for wafer level packaging applications is achieved by the low fragmentation implied by the UBΜ structure, improved adhesion between electroless nickel and other non-conductive surfaces, and optimized electroless nickel UBM deposition. . 200910557 By using a seed layer, it is possible to use electroless nickel as a component that does not have a proper final metal alloy (as an electrical contact). The disclosed UBM has a thin film metal seed layer that accommodates the same electroless nickel deposition process at various electrical contacts of electronic components such as ingot, copper, and gold. In addition, it provides excellent adhesion between the electroless luminescence and the non-conductive surface oxide, nitride and polymer layers. In addition, an electroless nickel deposition process is determined by removing a major source of variation in the process. For example, if it is an unpatterned blanket layer, the UBM can be excluded from the electrical differences made at the various electrical contacts of the electronic component due to the mutual interaction between the active components within the electronic component. In the case of an electronic component, the metal seed layer is deposited on the dot opening to seal the opening and create a surface for electroless nickel deposition. This seed layer can also be deposited in a region other than the passivation contact opening to allow patterning to deposit electroless nickel. To prepare this structure, two different methods can be performed. Sections 3-6 are used to form a first embodiment of a modified UBM structure. As shown in the first 3A and 3B, at least one gold layer 18 is deposited by sputtering or electroplating and optimized for electroless nickel deposition. This layer 18 covers the passivation layer 14 and the final metal layer 12. In the illustrated embodiment, the deposited metal seed layer 18 is comprised of an IS copper alloy, a layer (e.g., titanium), other sputter materials subsequent to the aluminum-copper alloy, and other suitable alloys that deposit electroless nickel. And used in the example to use the genus, the surface (such as 'the permeable can be stabilized, the plating between the plating made the best connection on the table and added the picture first, if it is a crystal metal crystal implementation square Structure or available 8 200910557 The deposition of the metal seed layer 18 on the electroless nickel makes the structure more able to seal the passivation opening and the electrical contacts of the electronic components, thereby creating a stronger electrical connection and thus improving the overlay. In addition, the metal seed layer 18 also allows the electroless town UBM 16 to be deposited on the final metal and on fragile structures that are too thin to form electrical contacts. This also allows for more UBMs. Use with a larger number of materials.

Next, as shown in Figs. 4A and 4B, a photoresist pattern is placed on the metal seed layer 18. The deposited photoresist layer 20 covers the area intended to deposit electroless nickel. The material that is not in the protected area of the photoresist layer 20 is then removed using a chemical etchant. The photoresist 20 is then removed using a suitable, conventional photoresist strip process, leaving a patterned metal seed layer 18 covering the final metal layer 12 within the passivation opening, as shown in Figures 5A and 5B. Show. Finally, electroless nickel deposition is performed to create UBM 16 with good adhesion to the final metal layer 12 and to provide strong electronic connectivity within the component, as shown in Figures 6A and 6B. In the illustrated embodiment, titanium or other sputter material may be used as the material for bonding thicknesses of about 200 to 5,000 angstroms (A). In other exemplary embodiments, an aluminum-copper alloy can be used as the seed layer metal material for bonding electroless nickel having a thickness of about 2,000 to 20,000 Å. In other exemplary embodiments, the electroless nickel layer has a thickness between about 0.5 microns and 50 microns. Generally speaking, the patterned seed layer has a circular shape and is larger than the passivation opening. However, it may have a specific diameter depending on the height of the bump to be desired. In another embodiment, as shown in Figures 10 to 13, at least one metal seed layer 108 is sputter deposited on the passivation layer to optimize the desired electroless nickel sink process. As shown in Figures 10A and 10B, a photoresist pattern is deposited as a photoresist, and then, when the photoresist 20 is positioned, the electroless nickel deposition process is completed. Next, the photoresist 20 is removed using a suitable photoresist strip process. Thereafter, the deposited electroless nickel layer is used as a protective mask and the chemical seed is used to remove unnecessary seed metal. This provides good adhesion between UMB 16 and final metal 12 and provides a strong connection similar to that of Figures 6 and 6B. Figures 7 through 9 show that the process of allowing electroless nickel to be optimized as a structure that improves mechanical performance in an impact drop test. A metal seed layer 18 is formed over the passivation 14. Next, a patterned photoresist structure 20 is created in the metal seed layer. In this embodiment, the patterned photoresist structure 20 includes a portion that overlaps the passivation opening and a portion that overlaps the layer 14. Next, the metal seed layer 18 and the subsequent nickel-free UB Μ overlap not only with the final metal layer 12 in the passivation opening 15, but also with a portion of the passivation layer 14. By placing the UBM on a passivation layer 14 of one part, the element becomes more heat resistant and mechanically stronger. Although a circular size or a plurality of shapes as shown in Figs. 6 to 9 are used herein, other different shapes may be used instead of the illustrated UBM and seed layer without departing from the spirit of the present invention. For example, the square product can be used to calculate the most recent layer and the last layer of pure electricity. 2009 10557 In addition, the available geometry can be found in US Provisional Application 60/91 3337 (Title: Bump Interconnect for Improved Mechanical and Thermo- Mechanical Performance), which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. In addition, by allowing the process to create other UBM-available geometries', the size of an electroless nickel UBM can be properly used in the desired UBM application without the need for passivation openings or electronic component contacts. What is the size? Alternatively, other structures can be used. For example, dummy bumps or other necessary structures can be constructed. In addition, this process allows for the creation of a uniform size electroless nickel pattern on electronic components having a variety of purified contact opening sizes. The method used in the JESD22-B1 11 standard developed by the Joint Electronic Components Engineering Committee (JEDEC) to evaluate the wafer-on-wafer or wafer-level wafer capability is that these wafers must be able to withstand the semiconductor components when a handheld device is dropped. The mechanical shock that you will feel. This is very important because these components are used in mobile phones, personal digital assistants (PDAs), etc., and these devices may be frequently dropped by the user's careless use, but the user expects these devices. The function will not be affected by the drop. JEDEC requires these devices to withstand at least 3 drops and no functional failure. Figures 14 and 15 illustrate the test results obtained from the illustrated ubμ structure (made according to the method). These structures made of electroless nickel can withstand at least 400 drops before failure occurs. In addition, the failure rate of this electroless nickel component after less than 500 drops is less than 5%. It is only known that there is a splash. 11 200910557 UBM-coated components fail faster. In one test, the conventional UB Μ components failed after 200 drops. In another test, it was invalid after 30 drops in the JEDEC specification. Conventional sputtering devices also have a higher proportion of failures, and after 5,000 drops, the failure rate is 20% higher than the electroless nickel UBM structure of the present invention. The disclosed structure now provides strong thermo-mechanical stability and other electrical stability advantages of sputtered metal UBM. In addition, the differently shaped component structures disclosed so far can also increase the thermo-mechanical strength. The present invention has been described with reference to the exemplary embodiments thereof, and the description is not intended to be construed as limiting the scope of the invention. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications and changes to the described embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as claimed. The invention will be determined by the scope of the following patent application.
