Flip Chip (FC) interconnects for 3D, 2.5D and wafer level packaging (WLP) are fast becoming a common package for high performance applications. One of key challenges identify in assembly lie in the fine pitch of FC interconnect to the substrate. This paper looks into an instantaneous fluxless bonding techniques of solid liquid interdiffusion by compressive force (SLICF) to form FC joints of Au, Cu, Pd coated Cu (Pd-Cu) and Ag with lead free SnAgCu (SAC) solder. The bumped chip with SAC solder bumps is then FC bonded onto the Au, Cu, Pd-Cu and Ag studs with macroscopic and microscopic analysis using Optical and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) respectively. Electron Dispersive X-ray (EDX) is performed to identify the intermetallics with its joint integrity assessed. Poor interconnect observed for Cu and Pd-Cu studs with plasma cleaning. Both Au and Ag demonstrated to be a good candidate to enable WLP interconnect for production for fine pitch FC applications. Ag provides a good alternative to Au for low cost flip chip technology as Ag provides a lower intermetallic growth rate than Au. Further process optimization is needed to enhance the reliability.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
