摘要:
Methods and systems for low-force, low-temperature thermocompression bonding. The present application teaches new methods and structures for three-dimensional integrated circuits, in which cold thermocompression bonding is used to provide reliable bonding. To achieve this, reduction and passivation steps are preferably both used to reduce native oxide on the contact metals and to prevent reformation of native oxide, preferably using atmospheric plasma treatments. Preferably the physical compression height of the elements is set to be only enough to reliably achieve at least some compression of each bonding element pair, compensating for any lack of flatness. Preferably the thermocompression bonding is performed well below the melting point. This not only avoids the deformation of lower levels which is induced by reflow techniques, but also provides a steep relation of force versus z-axis travel, so that a drastically-increasing resistance to compression helps to regulate the degree of thermocompression.

The invention relates to a flip-chip assembly process for connecting two microelectronic components (1, 2) to each other. According to the invention, it is possible either to proportion the spacers (24) so that they are smaller than the interconnect bumps (22) or to oversize the latter so that their deformation, after having been plastic during the insertion of connective inserts (12), returns to the elastic regime once assembly contact between components (1,2) has been reached. Thanks to the invention, it is possible to control with great precision the gap between the two components during their assembly, and this without adding any additional steps to their manufacturing or to the assembly process.
摘要:
A method of making an assembly includes the steps of applying metallic nanoparticles to exposed surfaces of conductive elements of either of or both of a first component and a second component, juxtaposing the conductive elements of the first component with the conductive elements of the second component with the metallic nanoparticles disposed therebetween, and elevating a temperature at least at interfaces of the juxtaposed conductive elements to a joining temperature at which the metallic nanoparticles cause metallurgical joints to form between the juxtaposed conductive elements. The conductive elements of either of or both of the first component and the second component can include substantially rigid posts having top surfaces projecting a height above the surface of the respective component and edge surfaces extending at substantial angles away from the top surfaces thereof.

Methods and structures of connecting at least two integrated circuits in a 3D arrangement by a zigzag conductive chain are disclosed. The zigzag conductive chain, acting as a spring or self-adaptive contact structure (SACS) in a wafer bonding process, is designed to reduce bonding interface stress, to increase bonding interface reliability, and to have an adjustable height to close undesirable opens or voids between contacts of the two integrated circuits.

摘要:
A method of assembling a first and a second electronic components includes forming connection elements on an assembly surface of the first component and forming connection elements on an assembly surface of the second component. The method also includes depositing a liquid layer of electrically-insulating curable material on the assembly surface of the first and/or of the second component and arranging the first and second components on each other to place the connection elements of the second component in front of the connection elements of the first component. The method further includes applying a force along a predetermined direction and the first and/or the second components to create electric interconnects each formed of a connection element of the first component and of a connection element of the second component and curing the curable material.
