Solid liquid interdiffusion wafer-level bonding for MEMS packaging
Abstract
The trend of micro-electronic-mechanical-systems (MEMS) packaging requires costeffective and high performance packaging techniques. The objective of this study is to develop solid-liquid-interdiffusion (SLID) wafer-level bonding, a promised cost effective and high performance bonding technique for MEMS packaging. Two techniques were addressed: Cu-Sn SLID and Au-In SLID bonding.
The main contributions are:
- Fully characterization of intermetallic formation during the Cu-Sn bonding process
- Development of a numerical simulation model for IMCs thickness development during a Cu-Sn and Au-In bonding process, which could be used as a tool for process design and optimization
- Development of an in-house process for Cu-Sn and Au-In SLID wafer-level bonding
- Fabrication and testing of Cu-Sn and Au-In SLID wafer-level bonding, perform mechanical integrity test at high temperature
- Propose new methods for fracture characterization Investigation of voids formation during the Cu-Sn SLID bonding process
