Abstract

In this study, two types of Au/TiW bump samples were fabricated by the electroplating process onto Al/Si and SiN/Si wafers for the COG (Chip On Glass) packaging. TiW was used as the UBM (Under Bump Metallurgy) material of the Au bump and it was deposited by a sputtering method under the sputtering powers ranges from 500 to 5000 Watt. We investigated the delamination phenomenas for the prepared samples as a function of the input sputtering powers. The stable interfacial adhesion condition was found to be 1500 Watt in sputtering power. In addition, the SAICAS (Surface And Interfacial Cutting Analysis System) measurement was used to find the adhesion strength of Au bumps for the prepared samples. TiW UBM films were deposited at the 1500 Watt sputtering power. As a results, there was a similar adhesion strengths between TiW/Au interfacial films on Al/Si and SiN/Si wafers. However, the adhesion strength of TiW UBM sputtering films on Al and SiN under films were 2.2 times differences, indicating 0.475 kN/m for Al/Si wafer and 0.093 kN/m for SiN/Si wafer, respectively.

본 연구에서는 COG (Chip On Glass) 패키지 적용을 위해 Au 범프를 전기도금 공정을 사용하여 Al/Si wafer와 SiN/Si wafer 위에 TiW/Au 구조를 갖는 두 종류의 Au범프 시료를 제작하였다. UBM (Under Bump Metallurgy) 물질로서 TiW 박막을 스퍼터링 방법으로 증착하였으며 스퍼터링 입력 파워(500~5000 Watt)에 따른 박리 현상을 관찰하였다. 안정된 계면 접착을 나타내는 스퍼터링 파워는 1500 Watt임을 확인 할 수 있었다. 또한 SAICAS (Surface And Interfacial Cutting Analysis System) 장비를 사용하여 기판 종류에 따른 Au Bump의 접착력을 조사하였다. TiW 증착 조건은 스퍼터링 파워를 1500 Watt로 고정하였다. TiW/Au 계면의 접착력은 두 종류의 wafer (Al/Si과 SiN/Si wafers)에 관계없이 오차 범위 안에서 비슷한 접착력을 보여주었으나, TiW UBM 스퍼터링 박막 계면에서의 접착력은 하부 박막인 Al 금속과 SiN 비금속 박막에서의 접착력 차이가 약 2.2배 크게 나타났다. 즉, Al/Si wafer와 SiN/Si wafer위에 증착된 TiW의 접착력은 각각 0.475 kN/m와 0.093 kN/m 값을 나타내었다.
