Abstract

A flip chip interconnection structure is formed by mechanically interlocking joining surfaces of a first and second element. The first element, which may be a bump on an integrated circuit chip, includes a soft, deformable material with a low yield strength and high elongation to failure. The surface of the second element, which may for example be a substrate pad, is provided with asperities into which the first element deforms plastically under pressure to form the mechanical interlock.

Claims (40)

1 . A method of making a semiconductor device, comprising:

providing a semiconductor die;

forming an interconnect structure over the semiconductor die;

providing a substrate including an interconnect pad; and

bonding the interconnect structure over the semiconductor die and interconnect pad by deforming the interconnect structure around the interconnect pad.

2 . The method of claim 1 , further including maintaining a vertical separation between the semiconductor die and substrate.

3 . The method of claim 1 , further including deforming the interconnect structure to reduce relative movement between the semiconductor die and substrate.

4 . The method of claim 1 , further including deforming the interconnect structure about 25 micrometers.

5 . The method of claim 1 , further including forming a width of the interconnect pads to be less than a width of the interconnect structure.

6 . The method of claim 1 , further including depositing an adhesive resin between the semiconductor die and substrate.

7 . A method of making a semiconductor device, comprising:

providing a semiconductor die;

providing a substrate including an interconnect pad; and

forming an interconnect structure over the semiconductor die and around the interconnect pad.

8 . The method of claim 7 , further including maintaining a vertical separation between the semiconductor die and substrate.

9 . The method of claim 7 , further including deforming the interconnect structure into a surface of the interconnect pad to reduce relative movement between the semiconductor die and substrate.

10 . The method of claim 7 , wherein the interconnect structure includes gold, copper, or nickel.

11 . The method of claim 7 , further including deforming the interconnect structure about 25 micrometers.

12 . The method of claim 7 , further including forming a width of the interconnect pad to be less than a width of the interconnect structure.

13 . The method of claim 7 , further including depositing an adhesive resin between the semiconductor die and substrate.

14 . A semiconductor device, comprising:

a semiconductor die;

an interconnect structure formed over the semiconductor die; and

a substrate including an interconnect pad, the interconnect structure deformed onto the interconnect pad.

15 . The semiconductor device of claim 14 , further including a vertical separation maintained between the semiconductor die and substrate.

16 . The semiconductor device of claim 14 , wherein the interconnect structure is deformed about 25 micrometers.
