| Abstract | A non-thermo-compression bonding method by ways of a permanent surface passivation is applied and activated to allow instantaneous Cu-Cu bonding in room ambient hence improving the throughput by at least 30×. This permanent surface finish layer is ultra-thin, CMOS compatible, electrically conductive, resistant to oxidation, does not intermix with Cu, and can be activated readily to achieve fusion bonding (hence not diffusion limited). In this work, clean bump-less Cu surface (100 nm) is coated with a thin passivation layer of 10 nm and protected against ambient oxidation or corrosion. Prior to bonding, the surface is cleaned and activated to achieve a hydrophilic surface with contact angle ~ 10° and RMS roughness of 0.35 nm. A pair of wafers is then brought into intimate contact and bonding is achieved instantaneously via surface energy interaction in clean room ambient. Since the melting temperature of the passivation layer is much higher than the back-end temperature, it is possible to enhance the bond strength further by post-bonding annealing in a batch process. Experimental data show that the mechanical and electrical performance of the Cu-Cu bond is not deteriorated with the application of the permanent passivation layer. The insertion of the thin coating results in a slight increase in sheet resistance from 0.16 ohm/sq (Cu/Cu) to 0.18 ohm/sq (Cu/passivation layer/Cu). I-V measurement across the bonding interface of the non-TCB sample does not reveal clear departure from that of the TCB sample. Four point bending test is performed and the adhesion energy is 14 $mJ/m^{2}$ (non-TCB) as compared with 12 $mJ/m^{2}$ for TCB Cu-Cu. The bonding interface is seamless with no void as observed under TEM. This is a major improvement in throughput as compared to thermo-compression bonding as the bonding step is completed in several seconds upon contact without the need for prolonged compression and heating. In addition, bonding is performed in room ambient (25 °C, 1 ATM) with existing tool set. The need of inert bonding chamber is optional. Room temperature bonding is essential to avoid thermal run-out in alignment accuracy as well as better post-bonding thermo-mechanical stress control. Since this non-TCB bonding method is accomplished instantaneously upon contact initialization, it is possible to extend this method to die-on-wafer bonding with reasonable throughput. Die-on-wafer bonding offers greater flexibility in heterogeneous 3D IC stacking with different die size which is not possible by wafer-on-wafer bonding. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
