Due to the unique properties and potential applications of graphene, it has aroused an extensive research boom in nano science world. Graphene is considered as one of the most promising materials of next generation electronic devices.

To meet the demands for miniaturization and multi-functional and high-performance electronics applications, the semiconductor industry has shifted its packaging approach to multi-chip vertical stacking. Among the advanced packaging technologies for high-density interconnects, the most persistent factor affecting their reliability is the electromigration (EM) problem on the micro-bump. The operating temperature and the operating current density are the main factors affecting the EM phenomenon. Therefore, when a micro-bump structure is in the electrothermal environment, the EM failure mechanism of the high-density integrated packaging structure must be studied. To investigate the relationship between loading conditions and EM failure time in micro-bump structures, this study established an equivalent model of the vertical stacking structure of fan-out wafer-level packages. Then, the electrothermal interaction theory was used to carry out numerical simulations in an electrothermal environment. Finally, the MTTF equation was invoked, with Sn63Pb37 as the bump material, and the relationship between the operating environment and EM lifetime was investigated. The results showed that the current aggregation was the location where the bump structure was most susceptible to EM failure. The accelerating effect of the temperature on the EM failure time was more obvious at a current density of 3.5 A/cm2, which was 27.51% shorter than 4.5 A/cm2 at the same temperature difference. When the current density exceeded 4.5 A/cm2, the change in the failure time was not obvious, and the maximum critical value of the micro-bump failure was 4 A/cm2~4.5 A/cm2.

In advanced packaging technology, the micro bump has become an important means of chip stacking and wafer interconnection. The reliability of micro bumps, which plays an important role in mechanical support, electrical connection, signal transmission and heat dissipation, determines the quality of chip packaging. Surface morphological defects are one of the main factors affecting the reliability of micro bumps, which are closely related to materials and bonding process parameters. In this paper, the electrodeposition process of preparing gold bumps is simulated at the atomic scale using the Kinetic Monte Carlo method. The differences in surface morphology and roughness of the plated layer are studied from a microscopic perspective under different deposition parameters. The results show that the gold micro bumps prepared by electrodeposition have better surface quality under conditions of lower deposition voltage, lower ion concentration and higher plating temperature, which can provide significant guidance for engineering applications.
