Abstract

Three types of solder bumping processes are studied and optimized including electroplating, stencil printing and solder ball placement. In comparison with the sputtering UBM deposition process, the zincation process in the electroless Ni/Au process is very sensitive for the Al pad preparation process. The properties and effect of electroplated Cu stud and the electroless plated Ni stud are studied. Five kinds of photoresist materials are evaluated for the electroplating bumping process. In the solder bump placement process, the optimum laser power is controlled at the current range of 23 to 26mA with the exposure time of 8 to 10ms. According to the bumping sequences, the effect of every step on the quality and reliability of solder bumps are analyzed to improve the bumping process.
