Mechanical strain/stress and crystal defects are produced in extremely thin wafers (thickness ~10 μm) of 3D-LSIs not only during wafer thinning, but also after wafer bonding using fine-pitch, high-density microbumps and curing. Furthermore, the metal of through-Si via (TSV) and microbump not only becomes the cause of contamination, but also induces strain/stress (due to the difference in the co-efficient...
Chip-to-wafer bonding is a promising technology for 3D integration due to high production yield using known good dies (KGDs). However, conventional chip-to-wafer 3D integration lowers production throughput because pick-and-place chip assembly is employed. To overcome the problem, we proposed a new chip-to-wafer 3D integration using self-assembly by which many KGDs can be simultaneously, rapidly, and...
Micro-Raman spectroscopic technique has been employed to study the induced stress/strain by the metal microbumps in 3D-LSI Si die/wafer after wafer thinning and bonding, and the impact of bump spacing, bump size, bonding temperature and bonding force in the stress distribution in such a microbump bonded LSIs has been investigated. It is inferred that (i) the Si present at the interface (between CuSn...
Wafer thinning and formation of through-Si via (TSV) and metal microbump are key processes in 3D LSI fabrication. However, it might introduce mechanical stress and crystal defects in thinned wafers. In addition, Cu for TSV and microbump might introduce metal contamination in thinned Si substrate. Then the impact of mechanical stress and metal contamination in the thinned Si substrate has been investigated...
