[0038] Reference Manual Attached Figure 4 , is a schematic diagram of the shear strength of the braided nickel bonding structure of the present invention.

[0039] The present invention achieves high-quality interconnection enhancement of flip-chip packaged electronic devices by braiding nickel through matching appropriate braided nickel and ultrasonic-assisted hot pressing bonding. For the interconnection of flip-chip packaged electronic devices, such as Cu / Sn-Bi / Cu bumps, hard and brittle intermetallic compounds are formed in the interface area of ​​the chip metal layer during the reflow soldering process, and obvious voids will appear in the interface area. In addition, due to the mismatch in linear expansion coefficients between low-melting-point metals, intermetallic compounds, metal layers, chips and substrates, the interconnection area becomes a stress concentration area, which is difficult to withstand the gradually accumulated residual stress, exhibits lower strength, and leads to early failure. The braided nickel has two functions: (1) The braided nickel is immersed in the molten low-temperature metal material to form a bump with a Ni skeleton. During the ultrasonic-assisted hot pressing bonding process of the flip chip, the braided nickel does not melt and can directly support the chip; (2) Refer to the attached manual Figure 5 The presence of the braided nickel (skeleton) induces the diffusion of Ni elements and the reaction with the Sn elements in the matrix and the Cu elements in the metal plating to form a (Ni,Cu)6Sn5 phase in the structure, which strengthens the bonding and interconnection between the braided nickel skeleton and the matrix, greatly improves the interconnection strength of the flip-chip electronic devices, and ensures the service life during service.
