Description
This application is a reissue application for reissue of U.S. Pat. No. 8,048,793. Reissue application Ser. No. 16/275,199, filed Feb. 13, 2019, is concurrently pending as a continuation reissue application of this application.
This application claims under 35 U.S.C. § 119(a) the benefit of Korean Patent Application No. 10-2007-0089905 filed Sep. 5, 2007, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
The present invention relates to a flip chip packaging technique, in which a chip and a substrate are electrically and mechanically connected with each other after the chip is flipped so as to allow a pad of the chip and the substrate to face each other.
A flip chip package has a small size and has superior electric characteristic and reliability in comparison with a package formed by a wire bonding technique. The flip chip package is obtained by directly bonding a semiconductor chip and a printed circuit board (PCB) substrate by using a metallic bump. Gold, copper and solder, etc. are applied as the metal bump. Among these, a flip-chip using a gold bump is typically bonded to a substrate by using conductive adhesives. Different from a chip using solder bumps, such a flip chip using the gold bump has recently been popular in a display field because it doesn't include harmful element such as lead to environment and human health and has superior bonding reliability.
A method for forming a gold bump includes an electroplating method, a vacuum depositing method, and a method forming a stud bump by wire bonding. Among these, the electroplating is most advantageous due to a simple manner and the low manufacturing costs.
A research for manufacturing a gold bump of a flip chip by using this electroplating method has been actively proceeded. For example, Korean patent publication NO. 10-2006-0044929 discloses a method for improving non-uniformity of a thickness of the gold bump in such a manner that metal with a low melting point is plated on a bump formed by plating or an alloy having a dome shape is formed thereon. However, after a formation of a gold bump by electroplating, the entire metallic seed layer, except for the gold bump, is etched so that only the gold bump remains on a wafer. Therefore, there is a disadvantage in that it is impossible to evaluate the electrical characteristics of the gold bump and a flip chip package bonded through electrical connection with the gold bump.
Korean patent registration NO. 10-0574986 discloses a method for forming a bump through an electroplating for a flip chip connection. A seed layer is formed for electroplating, and a shielding layer and a photosensitive mask are formed on the seed layer. Then, the exposed shielding layer, which has undergone a photolithography process and a developing process, is removed through dry etching, and a bump is formed on the exposed seed layer according to a plating method.
However, in the method according to the invention, the gold bump is formed by electroplating after the metal patterning and the shielding layer are formed. Therefore, it is necessary that an electrode wiring for forming the gold bump is formed when the metal pattern is formed, or a metallic seed layer for plating is formed and moved on a top of an insulating layer. Typically, the electrode wire is an unnecessary metal wire in an actual chip so that it has to be removed again after the gold bump is formed. Therefore, an additional process is necessary before and after the gold bump is formed thereby causing inconvenience.
As a similar example, a method for manufacturing a gold bump on an aluminum substrate by an electroplating method is announced [reference: John H. Lau, C. P. Wong, Ning-Cheng Lee, O. W. Ricky Lee, Electronics Manufacturing with Lead-free, Halogen-free, and Conductive-adhesive materials, 4.1-4.9 (2003)]. The process as shown in FIG. 1 is performed in the announced reference. That is, according to the method, an insulating layer is formed on an aluminum pad and the top of the pad, and a metal seed layer for electroplating of a gold bump is formed again on the upper part of the insulating layer. Then, after a formation of the gold bump, the metal seed layer applied for plating is finally removed. Similar to the disclosed invention, this method requires forming and removing process of a metal seed layer to perform electroplating, and, thus, a manufacturing procedure becomes too complicated. Also, conventionally, a mask for photolithography, which is used for plating the gold bump, and a mask for photolithography, which is used in patterning an insulating layer formed on the top of a conductive film, are separately manufactured.
The above information disclosed in this Background Art section is only for enhancement of understanding of the background of the invention and therefore it may contain information that does not form the prior art that is already known in this country to a person of ordinary skill in the art.
Therefore, the present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a method for evaluating the electrical connection between gold bumps and a method for improving a flip chip manufacturing process in forming a flip chip.
According to the present invention, a metal seed layer used in electroplating for forming a bump is directly used as metal pattern for forming electrical connection between bumps, so that an electrical function between bumps can be evaluated, and it is possible to omit the processes of forming and removing an electrode wire only for electroplating, which have been essential in the prior art.
According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a flip chip comprising: an insulating layer arranged on a substrate; a metal patterned seed layer arranged on the insulating layer; and a plate bump layer formed on the metal seed layer, wherein the metal pattern is formed at a side of the plate bump, and is formed by patterning the metal seed layer.
It is preferable that the substrate is one selected from the group consisting of a silicon wafer, a compound semiconductor, quartz, glass, and ceramic material.
The insulating layer preferably comprises SiO2 and Si3N4.
The seed layer preferably comprises an adhesive layer and an electrode layer.
The adhesive layer preferably comprises titanium, and the electrode layer comprises copper or gold.
According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a flip chip manufacturing method comprising: (a) forming a seed layer on a substrate by using a conductive thin layer; (b) applying and patterning a photoresist or a dry film; (c) forming a gold bump by electroplating; (d) patterning the seed layer; (e) forming an insulating layer on the seed layer and the upper end of the gold bump; and (f) applying and patterning a photoresist or a dry film so as to pattern the insulating layer.
It is preferable that the patterning of steps (b) and (f) are performed by photolithography. Suitably, a photolithography mask used in the patterning processes of step (b) is the same as that of step (f).
It is preferable that the polarity of the photoresist or the dry film of step (b) and that of step (f) are opposite.
Also, it is preferable that the patterning process of step (d) comprises applying and patterning a photoresist or a dry film and etching a portion of the conductive thin film on which portion the photoresist or the dry film is not, so as to form a metal pattern for electrical connection between gold bumps.
In the present invention, it is possible to omit the process of forming and removing an electrode wire by directly utilizing a metal seed layer, which is used for plating, as a metal pattern for electrical connecting between bumps. Therefore, the cost of material and a process cost can be lowered. Also, it is possible to evaluate an electrical function between the bumps by using such a metal pattern so that a flip chip having high reliability can be manufactured.
Also, it is possible to unify a mask for photolithography, which is used for plating a gold bump in such a manner that the polarity of a photoresist or a dry film is opposite, and a mask for photolithography, which is used for pattering an insulating layer formed at an upper part of a conductive film, so that an additional unit manufacturing cost can be reduced. Also, a daisy chain, etc. can be formed by patterning a seed layer for electroplating so that electrical function of a flip chip package can be evaluated.

At this time, the conductive thin film 14 is divided into an adhesion layer and an electric wire layer (an electrode layer). Preferably, as the adhesive layer for improving bonding force of the conductive thin film 14, titanium (Ti) may preferably be formed with a height of about 10 nm to 100 nm. As the electrode layer functioning as an electrical passage, copper (Cu) or gold (Au), etc. may suitably be formed with a height of about 100 nm to 1,000 nm.
As shown in FIG. 5 , gold is electroplated so as not to exceed the height of the patterned photoresist or the dry film 16. It is preferable that the height of the gold bump is about 10 nm to 19 μm.
As shown in FIG. 6 , the photoresist or dry film 16 is removed when the gold bump bumps 18 is are completely formed by electroplating. The gold bumps 18 constitute a plate bump layer 19.
In order to achieve an electrical connection between bumps, a process of patterning the conductive thin film 14 used as a seed layer in plating is performed. As shown in FIG. 7 , for example, a photoresist or dry film 22 is disposed on the conductive thin film 14 and patterned by photolithography using a new mask to provide a first portion 14A covered by the patterned photoresist 22 and a second portion 14B not covered by the patterned photoresist 22.
A metal etching process is then performed so as to remove the second portion 14B of the conductive thin film 14, to which the photoresist or the dry film 22 is not disposed. Titanium (Ti) can be etched by hydrofluoric acid (HF) diluted solution, Au can be etched by iodination potassium (KI) solution, and Cu can be etched by ferric chloride (FeCl3) aqueous solution. Through this etching process, the shape in which the conductive thin film 14 is patterned can be obtained, as shown in FIG. 8 .
As shown in FIG. 10 , an insulating layer 26 is formed so as to protect the thin conductive film 14 and achieve insulation from external environment. The insulating layer 26 includes insulating layers 26A, 26B and 26C that are formed on different surfaces. SiO2, Si3N4, etc. may suitably be used as the insulating layer 26.
As shown in FIG. 11 , a photoresist and dry film 24 is disposed on the insulating layer 26, and patterning is performed through the photolithography process, which provides the patterned photoresist film 24 on the insulating layers 26A and 26B but not on the insulating layer 26C, so as to achieve patterning of the insulating layer 26. Suitably, the mask used in this photolithography may be the same as the mask used in the process of FIG. 4 , except that the polarity of the photoresist or dry film 24 is changed. For example, in a case where the photoresist or dry film 16 used in FIG. 4 is positive, the photoresist or dry film 24 used in FIG. 11 is negative so as to achieve a patterning having an opposite shape. Through such a process, two processes can be performed by using one mask.
As shown in FIG. 12 , the insulating layer 26 26C is etched so as to expose the surface of the gold bump 18 while the insulating layers 26A and 26B are maintained under the patterned photoresist film 24.
As shown in FIG. 13 , the photoresist or dry film 24 is removed, which was applied to etch the insulating layer 26C.
The present flip chips and manufacturing methods thereof can be applied to various areas. For example, it is possible to bond a core memory chip and a non-memory chip and stack a horizontal multi chip and a vertical multi chip, in the fields of high-end electronic machines, including, but not limited to, portable multimedia machines, such as cellular phones, and flat panel machines.
