Invention description () above the line. In the application of the bonding method, the density of the wafer contacts is improved due to the development of the conductive film, and the problem that a short circuit may occur between adjacent contacts at a high junction density is reduced. Referring to the first figure, it is a schematic cross-sectional view of a bonding process. In order to facilitate the introduction of the bonding process, the 1 shown in the figure (the wafer 1Q is placed in the opposite direction above, and the IC wafer 1 has been formed above The various active components, in the application of the 丨C wafer 10 of the liquid crystal display driving wafer, gold bumps 12 are formed on the 1C wafer 10, and the gold bumps 12 are connected to the aluminum pads on the substrate 10, the IC chip. 1 〇 is bonded to the glass substrate 14 to form a liquid crystal display screen, and the conductive film 16 can be electrically connected between the IC wafer 10 and the glass substrate 14. Generally, the conductive film 16 is made of an adhesive material and conductive.

Invention Description () (Please read the note on the back and fill in this page) Aluminum pads 22 are stored around There is a passive protective layer 24 on which a gold bump 12 is formed, and the structure can be divided into two parts, namely a multilayer metal film 26 (referred to as Under Bump Metal lurgy, UBM or Ball Limiting Metallurgy, BLM) and gold. The bumps 28 themselves. Since the gold bumps 12 formed by the same IC wafer 10 have errors in height, in order to overcome the error in this height, the gold bumps 12 are used in the pressing process as shown in the first figure. The characteristic of high metality of metal is that its Young's coefficient is quite large (about 11 0 GPa), and it is necessary to apply phase. The force of the large force enables all the gold bumps 12 to be electrically connected to the corresponding conductive dots 15 on the glass substrate 14. However, this also causes the breakage of the passive protective layer 24. The Ministry of Economy, Intellectual Property Office, employee consumption cooperative prints Traditionally, in order to reduce the Young's modulus of gold bumps, the structure of the composite bumps has been proposed. As shown in the third figure, the structure of the composite bumps first forms a polymer film 30 on the pad 22, due to the polymer. The film is not electrically conductive, so that it cannot completely cover the bonding pad 22, and then a metal film 38 is formed thereon, which is formed by the adhesion layer 32, the barrier layer 34 and the conductor layer 36, and the material thereof may be chromium. , copper and gold. Since the metal film 38 is thin in the conventional structural design, it is easy to break the metal film 38 when performing the probe spot test, which increases the difficulty of the subsequent process, and the polymer film 3〇 It is formed at the center of the splicing pad 22, and the metal film 38 is covered by it" so that the conduction area between the splicing pad 22 and the splicing pad 22 is lowered, and at the turning point 42 and 44' due to the metal film The 38-phase book is also easy to break, which affects the quality of the joint.

Description of invention ( (Please read the precautions on the back and then fill out this page.) The traditional gold bump structure, due to the high Young's coefficient, will cause the breakage of the passive protective layer in the pressing process, and the traditional compound convex to solve the high Young's coefficient. The block structure, due to the excessively thin metal film, also causes the metal film to rupture during the probe spot test, which adversely affects the conduction of the subsequent gold bumps and contacts. Therefore, an improved gold nugget structure is needed to solve the above-mentioned problems. Problem. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION: In view of the above + According to the background of the invention, the conventional gold bump structure, because the gold itself has a high Young's coefficient, so that a considerable force* is applied in the press-bonding system, so that all the gold bumps can be made conductive by contact with the conductive particles, but this The large pressing force causes the breakage of the passive protective layer, and the conventional composite bump structure for solving the high Young's coefficient uses a polymer film, but the polymer film is formed at the center of the aluminum pad. The metal film is coated on the outside, because the metal film is very thin, it is easy to cause the metal film to rupture when the probe is spotted. This requires an improved gold bump structure to simultaneously reduce the bump of the gold bump. The coefficient of '' does not cause too thin conductive film, or excessively affects its conductive contact area.

Inventive Note () (Please read the precautions on the back side and then fill out this page) On the 1C wafer 100, a contact pad 1 2 is formed thereon, and the area around the contact pad 102 is covered with a protective layer 1〇4. The protective layer 1〇4 is used to space between the respective contact pads 2 on the IC chip 1 and to protect the circuit on the 1C wafer 1 from contact with the outside. A buffer layer 1 〇 6 is then formed over the IC wafer 10 〇 and the desired pattern is defined using a lithography process. The greatest difference between the second embodiment and the first embodiment is that, in the first embodiment, the multilayer metal film is grown at this time, but in the second embodiment, the electroless plating process is performed at this time. A nickel metal 128 is filled in the patterned buffer layer 106, and then a portion protruding from the buffer layer 1〇6 is removed by an etching process or a chemical polishing process to form a surface of the nickel metal 128 and the buffer layer 106. Cut together. Then, a gold layer 1 24 is formed by a gold plating method as an adhesion layer, and then a gold bump 126 is formed on the gold layer 124, and the gold bump 126 can be formed on the gold layer 124 in an electroplated manner. In this structure, since the surface of the nickel metal 128 and the buffer layer 1〇6 are aligned, the surface of the formed gold bump 126 will have no difference in height, so that it can be more perfect with the glass substrate in the subsequent process. The combination. On the other hand, in the present structure, if the width of the opening of the buffer layer 1〇6 to the contact pad 102 is W3, and the width of the contact pad 1〇2 is the opening of the protective layer 1〇4 For W4, the ratio of W3 to W4 is as follows: 1/3S W3/W4S 2/3 This paper scale applies to China National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X297 public) 127168〇A7 B7 V. Invention description () Since the conductive bump structure of the present invention has a buffer layer, the Young's coefficient of the total conductive bump can be greatly reduced, and in the second process, the buffer layer can form a buffer layer. Small deformation, the fact that the bumps of the buffer layer can compensate for the gold bumps of the unequal height may cause the problem of poor joints. The present invention has been described above with reference to the preferred embodiments, and is only used to help understand the implementation of the present invention, and is not limited to In the spirit of the present invention, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the scope of the patent protection can be changed after a certain degree of modification and equivalent change without departing from the spirit of the invention.
