Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of semiconductor technology and relates to a flip-chip solder bump structure and a manufacturing method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Due to the short leads of flip-chip solder chips, the bump joints are generally directly soldered to the PCB or other substrates. Therefore, the lead inductance is small, the crosstalk between signals is small, the signal transmission delay time is short, and the electrical performance is good. In addition, due to the solid heat conduction of a large number of metal solder joints under the chip, the thermal resistance of the device is small. Therefore, the flip-chip soldering process is usually adopted in the manufacturing process of high-speed detector chips.

[0003] Currently, the composition materials of the bump joints on the chip usually include lead-tin alloy, gold, pure indium, and polymers. Since the melting point of pure indium is low, only about 156 °C, it is not compatible with general SMT technology and is relatively easy to corrode. It is only used in infrared devices with low-temperature operation. Polymer solder joints are not yet mature. Currently, the commonly used PbSn alloy and Au bump joints.

[0004] Traditional Au bumps are generally hemispherical or cylindrical solder joints. During the flip-chip soldering process, solder joint misalignment is likely to occur, resulting in short circuit of P\N electrodes and damage to the detector.

Detailed implementation manners

[0061] The following illustrates the implementation manners of the present invention through specific specific examples. The diagrams provided in the following examples only schematically illustrate the basic concept of the present invention. Without conflict, the following examples and the features in the examples can be combined with each other.

[0062] Example 1

[0063] As Figure 1As shown, a preferred embodiment of the method for manufacturing the flip-chip gold bump structure of the present invention includes the following steps:

[0064] S101. Take a semi-insulating substrate as the first detector chip substrate 10. The semi-insulating substrate is preferably an InP substrate with a cuboid structure.

[0065] S102. As Figure 2 shown, evaporate a first seed layer 11 on the surface of the first detector chip substrate 10. The first seed layer 11 is used for conducting electricity during electroplating. This step may specifically include the following sub-steps:

[0066] S1021. Evaporate a layer of chromium on the surface of the first detector chip substrate 10 as the first chromium layer; the thickness of the first chromium layer is 0.1 μm to 0.3 μm. Using chromium as the bottom layer of the first seed layer 11 can enhance the adhesion of the bottom surface and prevent the migration of gold to the material, avoiding affecting the device performance. The thickness of the chromium layer is relatively thin, preferably 0.1 μm.

[0067] S1022. Evaporate a layer of gold on the surface of the first chromium layer as the first gold layer, and the thickness of the first gold layer is 1.0 μm to 1.5 μm. The thickness of the gold layer is relatively thick, preferably 1 μm.

[0068] S103. Use the methods of thick film lithography and electroplating to form a columnar first electroplated gold layer 14 in the middle of the first seed layer 11. Specifically, it may include the following sub-steps:

[0069] S1031. As Figure 3 shown, spin-coat a photoresist on the surface of the first seed layer 11 to form a first electroplating photoresist film 12 covering the first seed layer 11; the thickness of the first electroplating photoresist film 12 is equal to the thickness of the to-be-electroplated first electroplated gold layer 14. The photoresist can use AZ4620 photoresist.

[0070] S1032. Use the methods of exposure and development to form a columnar first electroplating photoresist film hole 13 in the middle of the first electroplating photoresist film 12, and expose the surface of the first seed layer 11 in this area through the first electroplating photoresist film hole 13 to facilitate the formation of the first electroplated gold layer 14.

[0071] S1033. Use electroplating to form a columnar first electroplated gold layer 14 in the first electroplating photoresist film hole 13; the first electroplated gold layer 14 is preferably an Au layer.

[0072] By first lithographing the first electroplating photoresist film hole 13 and then forming the first electroplated gold layer 14 in the first electroplating photoresist film hole 13, the shape, size, and thickness of the first electroplated gold layer 14 can be conveniently controlled.

[0073] S1034. Remove the first electroplated film 12 using a chemical cleaning agent. The chemical cleaning agent includes a stripping solution and other de-gluing reagents. The schematic structural diagram after removing the first electroplated film 12 is as shown in Figure 4 shown.

[0074] S104. Use the method of thick film lithography and electroplating to form an annular second electroplated gold layer 17 on the first seed layer 11; the second electroplated gold layer 17 is wrapped around the periphery of the first electroplated gold layer 14, and the height of the second electroplated gold layer 17 is greater than the height of the first electroplated gold layer 14; thus, the first gold bump 1 with a positioning groove 18 is formed by combining the first electroplated gold layer 14 and the second electroplated gold layer 17. This step may specifically include the following sub-steps:

[0075] S1041. As shown in Figure 5 shown, spin-coat a photoresist on the surfaces of the first seed layer 11 and the first electroplated gold layer 14 to form a second electroplated film 15 covering the first seed layer 11 and the first electroplated gold layer 14; the thickness of the second electroplated film 15 is equal to the thickness of the second electroplated gold layer 17 to be electroplated. The photoresist can use AZ4620 photoresist.

[0076] S1042. Use the methods of exposure and development to form an annular second electroplated film hole 16 around the first electroplated gold layer 14 in the middle of the second electroplated film 15, and expose the surface of the first seed layer 11 and the side wall of the first electroplated gold layer 14 in this area through the second electroplated film hole 16.

[0077] S1043. Electroplate an annular second electroplated gold layer 17 in the second electroplated film hole 16. The second electroplated gold layer 17 is preferably an Au layer. The thickness of the second electroplated gold layer 17 is greater than the thickness of the first electroplated gold layer 14. Preferably, the second electroplated gold layer 17 is 3 μm - 6 μm thicker than the first electroplated gold layer 14. Thus, the first gold bump 1 with a positioning groove 18 is formed by the first electroplated gold layer 14 and the second electroplated gold layer 17, and the depth of the positioning groove 18 is 3 μm - 6 μm.

[0078] S1044. Remove the second electroplated film 15 using a chemical cleaning agent. The chemical cleaning agent includes a stripping solution and other de-gluing reagents.

[0079] By first lithographing the annular second electroplated film hole 16 and then forming the second electroplated gold layer 17 in the second electroplated film hole 16, it can ensure that the bottom of the second electroplated gold layer 17 tightly wraps the first electroplated gold layer 14 and forms a whole, thus facilitating the control of the shape of the first gold bump 1 and the depth of the concave structure.

[0080] S105. Remove the first seed layer 11 that does not cover the first electroplated gold layer 14 and the second electroplated gold layer 17 (i.e., the first seed layer 11 in the area outside the first gold bump 1). Specifically, it may include the following sub-steps:

[0081] S1051. Spin-coat photoresist on the surface of the first gold bump 1; cover the upper surface, inner sidewall, and outer sidewall of the first electroplated gold layer 14 and the second electroplated gold layer 17 with the photoresist; the photoresist can be AZ4620 photoresist.

[0082] S1052. Remove the photoresist on the surface of the first seed layer 11 that does not cover the first electroplated gold layer 14 and the second electroplated gold layer 17 through photolithography, exposure, and development methods to expose the surface of the first seed layer 11. Since the photoresist will also be coated on the surface of the first seed layer 11 when spin-coating the photoresist in step S1051, it is necessary to first remove the photoresist on the surface of the first seed layer 11.

[0083] S1053. Etch the first seed layer 11 that does not cover the first electroplated gold layer 14 and the second electroplated gold layer 17 with an etching solution; thereby remove the first seed layer 11 in the area outside the first gold bump 1.

[0084] S1054. Remove the photoresist on the surface of the first gold bump 1 (the surface of the first electroplated gold layer 14 and the second electroplated gold layer 17) with a chemical cleaning agent. The chemical cleaning agent contains a de-glue reagent such as a stripping solution. The schematic diagram of the structure after removing the photoresist is as Figure 6 and Figure 7 shown.

[0085] In this embodiment, by using two electroplated gold layers, a recessed gold bump with a positioning groove 18 can be formed, and by using thick-film photolithography, a recessed gold bump with controllable morphology, size, and height can be obtained by adjusting the pore size and depth of the photoresist film. By using a recessed gold bump on one substrate of the flip-chip bonding, during flip-chip bonding, the columnar gold bump can be poured into the positioning groove 18 of the recessed gold bump, which is easier to integrate and install, and reduces the displacement during the upside-down soldering, improving the alignment accuracy and reliability.

[0086] Embodiment 2

[0087] As Figure 8 shown, the present invention also relates to a manufacturing method of another flip-chip gold bump structure adapted to the flip-chip gold bump structure of Embodiment 1, and its preferred embodiment may include the following steps:

[0088] S201. Take a semi-insulating substrate as the second detector chip substrate 20; the semi-insulating substrate is preferably an InP substrate with a cuboid structure.

[0089] S202. As Figure 9 shown, evaporate a second seed layer 21 on the surface of the second detector chip substrate 20; specifically, it may include the following sub-steps:

[0090] S2021. Evaporate a layer of chromium on the surface of the second detector chip substrate 20 as the second chromium layer; the thickness of the chromium layer is relatively thin, and the thickness of the second chromium layer is 0.1 μm to 0.3 μm, preferably 0.1 μm.

[0091] S2022. Evaporate a layer of gold on the surface of the second chromium layer as the second gold layer. The thickness of the gold layer is relatively thick, and the thickness of the second gold layer is 1.0 μm to 1.5 μm, preferably 1 μm.

[0092] S203. As Figure 10 shown, spin-coat photoresist on the surface of the second seed layer 21 to form a third electroplating resist film 22; then use the methods of exposure and development to form a columnar third electroplating resist film hole 23 in the middle of the third electroplating resist film 22, exposing the surface of the second seed layer 21 in this area. The thickness of the third electroplating resist film 22 is equal to the thickness of the third electroplating gold layer to be electroplated; the photoresist can use AZ4620 photoresist.

[0093] S204. Form a columnar third electroplating gold layer in the third electroplating resist film hole 23 by electroplating; the third electroplating gold layer is preferably an Au layer, and the shape of the third electroplating gold layer is adapted to the shape of the positioning groove 18 of the first gold bump 1 in Example 1. The second gold bump 2 with a columnar structure can be formed through the third electroplating gold layer.

[0094] S205. Remove the third electroplating resist film 22 with a chemical cleaning agent. The chemical cleaning agent includes stripping solution and other degluing reagents.

[0095] S206. Spin-coat photoresist on the surface of the second gold bump 2 (i.e., the third electroplating gold layer); then remove the photoresist on the surface of the second seed layer 21 that does not cover the third electroplating gold layer through photolithography, exposure, and development methods, exposing the surface of the second seed layer 21 in the area outside the second gold bump 2.

[0096] S207. Etch and remove the second seed layer 21 that does not cover the third electroplating gold layer (i.e., the second seed layer 21 in the area outside the second gold bump 2).

[0097] S208. Remove the photoresist on the surface of the second gold bump 2 with a chemical cleaning agent. The chemical cleaning agent includes stripping solution and other degluing reagents. The schematic diagram of the structure after removing the photoresist is as Figure 11 shown.

[0098] In this embodiment, by using thick-film lithography, cylindrical gold bumps with controllable morphology, size, and height can be obtained by adjusting the pore size and depth of the photoresist film, so that the shape of the cylindrical gold bumps is adapted to the shape of the concave gold bumps in Embodiment 1. During flip-chip soldering, the cylindrical gold bumps can be poured into the positioning grooves 18 of the concave gold bumps, which is easier to integrate and install, reduces the displacement during reflow soldering, and improves the alignment accuracy and reliability.

[0099] Embodiment 3

[0100] As Figure 6 、 Figure 7 and Figure 11 shown, the present invention also discloses a flip-chip soldering gold bump structure. A preferred embodiment of the flip-chip soldering gold bump structure of the present invention includes a first detector chip substrate 10 and a second detector chip substrate 20. Both the first detector chip substrate 10 and the second detector chip substrate 20 are semi-insulating substrates, preferably an InP substrate with a cuboid structure. A first seed layer 11 is provided on the upper end surface of the first detector chip substrate 10. The first seed layer 11 includes a first chromium layer provided on the first detector chip substrate 10 and a first gold layer provided on the first chromium layer. The thickness of the first chromium layer is 0.1 μm to 0.3 μm, and the thickness of the first gold layer is 1.0 μm to 1.5 μm. A first gold bump 1 is provided on the first seed layer 11. The first gold bump 1 includes a first electroplated gold layer 14 and a second electroplated gold layer 17. A cylindrical hole is provided in the middle of the second electroplated gold layer 17, and the first electroplated gold layer 14 is provided at the bottom of the cylindrical hole. The height of the first electroplated gold layer 14 is less than the height of the second electroplated gold layer 17, so as to form a positioning groove 18 in the middle of the second electroplated gold layer 17. The positioning groove 18 is a cylindrical groove. The depth of the positioning groove 18 is 3 μm to 6 μm.

[0101] A second seed layer 21 is provided on the upper end surface of the second detector chip substrate 20.

[0102] As Figure 12As shown, when using the flip-chip solder bump structure in this embodiment, during flip-chip soldering, first align the second solder bumps 2 on the second detector chip substrate 20 with the positioning grooves 18 of the first solder bumps 1 at corresponding positions on the first detector chip substrate 10, so that the second solder bumps 2 extend into the positioning grooves 18 of the first solder bumps 1, thereby enabling the accurate positioning of the first solder bumps 1 and the second solder bumps 2.

[0103] In this embodiment, by using a concave solder bump and a columnar solder bump on the two substrates for flip-chip soldering respectively, during flip-chip soldering, pour the columnar solder bumps into the positioning grooves 18 of the concave solder bumps, which is easier for integration and installation, and reduces the displacement during flip-chip soldering, improving the alignment accuracy and reliability; it can effectively avoid the situation of short circuit of P\N electrodes and damage to the detector caused by solder joint misalignment.
