Abstract	Several under bump metallization (UBM) schemes using CuNi alloys as the solderable layer were investigated. Nickel slows down dissolution of the UBM into the solder and formation of intermetallics during reflow. To study the intermetallic reaction, CuNi foils of different concentrations were immersed in a eutectic PbSn solder bath for reaction times ranging from 30 seconds to 30 minutes. It was observed that when 10% and 20% Ni is added into copper, the intermetallic forms a continuous layer, instead of the discrete scallops seen in pure Cu/solder interfaces. However, the thickness of the intermetallic remained about the same. For 30% and 45% Ni alloys a definite decrease in the intermetallic thickness was observed compared to the lower Ni alloys. Actual under bump metallizations were also made on Si wafers to study the reactions when there is a limited supply of CuNi available. Cr or Ti was used as the adhesion layer, and the solderable layer was a copper-nickel alloy, instead of pure copper used in the conventional UBM scheme. The metal layers were deposited on a wafer by evaporation and patterned into contact pads. Eutectic PbSn solder balls were reflowed on top of the pads. SEM micrographs of the intermetallic that forms at the UBM/solder interface show the refining effect of Ni in the interfacial microstructure. Since nickel metallizations often have high stresses, stress in the UBMs was measured by the wafer curvature method. Stress vs Ni content plots show that while stresses increase somewhat with the Ni content, the adhesion layer under the CuNi layer has a much larger effect on the stress. UBMs with Cr/CrCu adhesion layer had stresses ranging from about 300 to 600 MPa, while the stresses in UBMs with Ti/TiNi layers were between 70 and 350 MPa.
