Abstract:
A method of improving chip-to-chip alignment accuracy for circuitry-including wafer-to-wafer bonding. The method comprises providing separate stages for holding first and second circuitry-including wafers, each stage including a plurality of adjacent thermal actuators arranged in an array integrated with the stage; determining planar distortions of a bonding surface of the first and second circuitry-including wafers; mapping the planar distortions for each wafer based on the relative planar distortions thereon; deducing necessary local thermal expansion measurements for each wafer to compensate for the relative distortions based on the mapping; translating the thermal expansion measurements into a non-uniform wafer temperature profile model and a local heat flux profile model for each wafer; aligning the first and second wafers; and bonding the first and second wafers together. The bonding process includes simultaneously thermally treating at least one of the wafers in situ by individually adjusting the temperature of one or more thermal actuators in the array in accordance with the wafer temperature profile model and the local heat flux model to induce thermal expansion over a surface area corresponding to the dimensions of each adjusted thermal actuator.

The method includes preparing a substrate having a surface comprising a liquid-attracting first region and a liquid-repelling second region that surrounds the first region. The method also includes bringing water into contact with the surface of the substrate so as to dispose said water only on the said first region. The method further includes subjecting said substrate to a member-containing liquid that includes an organic solvent where an electronic circuit-constituting member are dispersed in the organic solvent to move said electronic circuit-constituting member to said water disposed on the said first region. The surface of the member is chemically modified with a silane coupling agent including a group with a C—Cl bond. Also, the method includes removing the water and the organic solvent from the surface of the substrate to mount said electronic circuit-constituting member on said substrate.

Abstract:
A circuit substrate and the method for fabricating a packaging of the circuit substrate are provided. A plurality of electrodes are formed on the surface of the circuit substrate, the electrodes are formed with fork structures over an connection section of the circuit substrate, so that when the circuit substrate expands/contracts due to thermal processes, the probability of alignment with electrodes of an external circuit board is increased by easily detaching the fork structure overlapping an electrode of the external circuit board which is not corresponding to the fork structure of the electrode of the circuit substrate, so as to avoid short circuit. Thus, electrode misalignment due to electrode pitch variation of the traditional circuit substrate as a result of thermal deformation can be effectively eliminated.

A method of fabricating a bonding structure having compliant bumps includes first providing a first substrate and a second substrate. The first substrate includes first bonding pads. The second substrate is disposed on one side of the first substrate and includes second bonding pads and compliant bumps disposed thereon. The second bonding pads are opposite to the first bonding pads. Next, a non-conductive adhesive layer and ball-shaped spacers are formed between the first and the second substrates. Finally, the first substrate, the non-conductive adhesive layer, and the second substrate are compressed, such that the compliant bumps on the second bonding pads of the second substrate pass through the non-conductive adhesive layer and are electrically connected to the first bonding pads of the first substrate, respectively. The ball-shaped spacers are distributed in the non-conductive adhesive layer sandwiched between the first and the second substrates for maintaining the gap therebetween.
