Abstract

A substrate bonding method is able to reliably bond substrates while avoiding a reduction in yield made worse by finer pitches. The substrate bonding method can include: forming an adhesive resin layer on a surface of a first substrate on which a pad has been formed; forming an opening on the adhesive resin layer above the pad; filling the opening with molten solder to form a pillar-shaped solder bump; and applying heat and pressure to the first substrate and a second substrate while a terminal formed on the second substrate is aligned with the solder bump.

Claims (29)

1. A substrate bonding method comprising:

obtaining a first die having an adhesive resin layer with one or more pillar-shaped solder bumps in the adhesive resin layer, a pillar-shaped solder bump is formed on top of an electrode pad that is further in a first substrate;

aligning the pillar-shaped solder bump with a second substrate terminal that is in a second substrate;

forming a second opening in a position other than a position at which an opening is formed in the adhesive resin layer above the electrode pad further in the first substrate;

forming a heat-dissipating structure for thermally connecting the first die and the second substrate by filling the second opening with molten solder; and

applying heat and pressure to the first die and the second substrate.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein a head of the pillar-shaped solder bump makes reliable contact with the second substrate terminal.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second substrate terminal is formed from an electrode pad.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second substrate terminal is a second pillar-shaped solder bump.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the heat-dissipating structure has a cross-shaped cross-section.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the heat-dissipating structure has a star-shaped cross-section.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein a plurality of heat-dissipating structures is connected and extend in a planar direction.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the Indium alloy contains Tin.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the Indium alloy contains Cobalt.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the Indium alloy contains Germanium.

11. The method of claim 1 , wherein the Indium alloy contains Iron.

12. A semiconductor device, comprising:

a first die having one or more pillar-shaped solder bumps formed by:

forming an adhesive resin layer on a surface of one or more electrode pads on a first substrate,

forming a first opening on the adhesive resin layer above an electrode pad from the one or more electrode pads, and

forming a pillar-shaped solder bump by filling the first opening with a molten solder;

a second substrate having one or more substrate terminals that is electrically connected to a pillar-shaped solder bump; and

a heat-dissipating structure, wherein the heat-dissipating structure is formed by:

forming a second opening within the adhesive resin layer, in a position other than a position at which the first opening is formed in the adhesive resin layer above the one or more electrode pads, and

forming the heat-dissipating structure within the second opening within the adhesive resin layer, for thermally connecting a first die and a second substrate, by filling the second opening with the molten solder.

13. The semiconductor device of claim 12 , wherein the second substrate having one or more substrate terminals is formed by:

aligning the pillar-shaped solder bump with a second substrate terminal that is in a second substrate; and

applying heat and pressure to the first die and the second substrate.

14. The semiconductor device of claim 12 , wherein the heat-dissipating structure has a thermal conductivity of 1.0 W-30.7 W/(m K).
