| Abstract | Thermosonic copper ball bonding is an interconnection technology that serves as a viable and cost-saving alternative to gold ball bonding. However, the reliability of copper bonds remains to be ascertained. Intermetallic compounds (IMCs) and possible voids and cracks may grow and propagate at the interface of bonds during their service. The proper IMCs formation is beneficial to bonding strength but an excessive growth of IMCs, voids and cracks can induce a mechanical failure and increase a contact resistance. In this study, a 99.99% copper wire with diameter 50.4 mum was bonded to a Al-1%Si-0.5%Cu metallisation pad by thermosonic bonding. Scanning electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry, dual focused ion bean and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were used to investigate the interfacial evolution of such formed joints during the thermal ageing, and kinetics of Cu-Al IMCs growth was established. The results showed no IMCs at the initial bonded Cu/Al interface. To study the Cu-Al IMCs growth, the samples were thermally aged for different times at a temperature from 200 degC to 300 degC to accelerate interfacial evolution. The growth of Cu-Al IMCs followed the parabolic law as a function of aging time at a certain aging temperature, and it is more sensitive to temperature compared to time. The activation energy of Cu-Al IMC growth was obtained from the Arrhenius plot. Voids and cracks, which are commonly present in gold ball bonds due to thermal aging, were not observed in copper ball bonds even after aging at 200 degC for 2900 hours. Finally, the structure of Cu-Al IMCs was confirmed to be $Cu_{9}Al_{4}$ by selected area electron diffraction with TEM. |

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.
