Title: Patterned Permanent Bonding of Benzocyclobutene Based Dielectric Materials for Advanced Wafer Level Packaging
Abstract: The microelectronics industry is being continually challenged to decrease package size, lower power consumption and improve device performance for the mobile communication and server markets. In order to keep pace with these requirements, device manufacturers and assembly companies are focused on developing 3D-TSV integration schemes that will require stacking of 50 um thinned wafers with gaps of 15 microns or less. While conventional underfill approaches have been demonstrated for chip to chip and chip to wafer schemes, new materials and processes are required for wafer to wafer bonding given the target bondline and wafer handling issues. Photopatternable, low temperature curable dielectrics offer a potential solution to solve the issues by eliminating the need for flow and material entrapment during the joining process. This should result in a simplified bonding process that enables wafer to wafer bonding with improved device reliability. In this work, we will focus on validating the critical steps including patterning and bonding that are required to demonstrate the utility of this process using an aqueous developable benzocyclobutene based photodielectric material.
