Abstract

An integrated device comprising a die substrate; a die interconnection portion coupled to the die substrate; and a metallization interconnect coupled to the die interconnection portion. The metallization interconnect comprises an adhesion metal layer, a first metal layer coupled to the adhesion metal layer; a second metal layer coupled to the first metal layer, and a third metal layer coupled to the second metal layer.

Claims (59)

1 . An integrated device comprising:

a die substrate;

a die interconnection portion coupled to the die substrate; and

a metallization interconnect coupled to the die interconnection portion, wherein the metallization interconnect comprises:

an adhesion metal layer;

a first metal layer coupled to the adhesion metal layer;

a second metal layer coupled to the first metal layer; and

a third metal layer coupled to the second metal layer;

a passivation layer located over a portion of the metallization interconnect;

wherein the passivation layer includes an opening through which a solder interconnect is coupled to the metallization interconnect, and

wherein the passivation layer touches the adhesion metal layer, the first metal layer, the second metal layer and the third metal layer.

2 . The integrated device of claim 1 , further comprising a solder interconnect coupled to the metallization interconnect.

3 . The integrated device of claim 1 , wherein the adhesion metal layer includes titanium (Ti).

4 . The integrated device of claim 1 , wherein the first metal layer includes aluminum (Al) and/or copper (Cu).

5 . The integrated device of claim 1 , wherein the second metal layer includes copper (Cu) and/or nickel (Ni).

6 . The integrated device of claim 1 , wherein the third metal layer includes gold (Au).

7 . The integrated device of claim 6 , further comprising a solder interconnect coupled to the third metal layer of the metallization interconnect.

8 . The integrated device of claim 1 ,

wherein the second metal layer is a wetting layer and/or a barrier layer, and

wherein the third metal layer is a protection layer.

9 . The integrated device of claim 1 , wherein the metallization interconnect includes an under bump metallization (UBM) interconnect.

10 . An integrated device comprising:

a die substrate; and

a metallization interconnect coupled to the die substrate, wherein the metallization interconnect comprises:

an adhesion metal layer;

a first metal layer coupled to the adhesion metal layer;

a second metal layer coupled to the first metal layer; and

a third metal layer coupled to the second metal layer;

a passivation layer located over a portion of the metallization interconnect,

wherein the passivation layer includes an opening through which a solder interconnect is coupled to the metallization interconnect,

wherein the passivation layer touches the adhesion metal layer, the first metal layer, the second metal layer and the third metal layer, and

wherein the metallization interconnect includes an under bump metallization (UBM) interconnect.

11 . The integrated device of claim 10 , further comprising a solder interconnect coupled to the metallization interconnect.

12 . The integrated device of claim 10 , wherein the adhesion metal layer includes titanium (Ti).

13 . The integrated device of claim 10 , wherein the first metal layer includes aluminum (Al) and/or copper (Cu).

14 . The integrated device of claim 10 , wherein the second metal layer includes copper (Cu) and/or nickel (Ni).

15 . The integrated device of claim 10 , wherein the third metal layer includes gold (Au).

16 . The integrated device of claim 15 , further comprising a solder interconnect coupled to the third metal layer of the metallization interconnect.

17 . The integrated device of claim 10 ,

wherein the second metal layer is a wetting layer and/or a barrier layer, and

wherein the third metal layer is a protection layer.

18 . The integrated device of claim 10 , wherein the integrated device is implemented in a device selected from a group consisting of a music player, a video player, an entertainment unit, a navigation device, a communications device, a mobile device, a mobile phone, a smartphone, a personal digital assistant, a fixed location terminal, a tablet computer, a computer, a wearable device, a laptop computer, a server, an internet of things (IoT) device, and a device in an automotive vehicle.

19 . A method for fabricating an integrated device, comprising:

providing a die substrate; and

forming a metallization interconnect, wherein the metallization interconnect comprises:

an adhesion metal layer;

a first metal layer coupled to the adhesion metal layer;

a second metal layer coupled to the first metal layer; and

a third metal layer coupled to the second metal layer;

forming a passivation layer over a portion of the metallization interconnect;

wherein the passivation layer includes an opening through which a solder interconnect is coupled to the metallization interconnect, and

wherein the passivation layer touches the adhesion metal layer, the first metal layer, the second metal layer and the third metal layer.

20 . The method of claim 19 , wherein forming the metallization interconnect comprises forming the metallization interconnect over the die substrate.

21 . The method of claim 19 , further comprising forming a die interconnection portion over the die substrate, wherein forming the metallization interconnect comprises forming the metallization interconnect over the die interconnection portion.

22 . The method of claim 19 ,

wherein the adhesion metal layer includes titanium (Ti),

wherein the first metal layer includes aluminum (Al) and/or copper (Cu),

wherein the second metal layer includes copper (Cu) and/or nickel (Ni), and

wherein the third metal layer includes gold (Au).
