Abstract

An analytical model is proposed which relates the bonding temperature and bonding duration to the integrity of metal-metal thermo-compression bonds. Based on the assumption of vacancy diffusion mechanism, the bonded area is calculated as a function of the bonding temperature, bonding time and the true contact area. Meanwhile, the true contact area is calculated as a function of the applied load and surface roughness. Experimental verification of the model was carried out on Cu-Cu thermo-compression bonds of Cu-coated silicon wafer with chemical-mechanical polish finished surfaces, which was diced into 2.5 mm squares. The samples were bonded at a range of temperatures and shear strength measurements were used to characterize the effects of bonding parameters to the interface bond strength. The results correlate well with the trends predicted by the model on the effects of temperature and bonding duration to the bond integrity in the thermo-compression bond process.
