Abstract

An integrated circuit packaging system and method of manufacture thereof including: providing a substrate; forming contact pads on top of the substrate; forming a protection layer on top of the contact pads and the substrate; exposing the contact pads from the protection layer; printing under bump metallization (UBM) layers over the exposed contact pads extended over the protection layer with conductive inks; and forming bumps on top of the under bump metallization layers. It also including: printing an adhesion layer using conductive ink, wherein the adhesion layer comprises interconnected adhesion layer pads; forming additional under bump metallization (UBM) layers and bumps on top of the adhesion layer pads utilizing an electro-deposition process; and removing connections among the interconnected adhesion layer pads.

Claims (32)

1. A method of manufacture of a semiconductor packaging system comprising:

forming contact pads on top of a substrate;

forming a protection layer on top of the contact pads and the substrate;

exposing the contact pads from the protection layer;

forming an under bump metallization (UBM) structure including:

printing, with a conductive ink, an adhesion layer over the exposed contact pads extended over the protection layer,

depositing a photo-resist over the adhesion layer,

patterning the photo-resist to form holes in the photo-resist partially exposing the adhesion layer, and

forming additional UBM layers, utilizing an electro-deposition process, on the adhesion layer within the holes, the additional UBM layers including a diffusion barrier layer on the adhesion layer, a wettable layer on the diffusion barrier layer, and an oxidation barrier layer on the wettable layer;

forming a bump on top of the UBM structure; and

removing the patterned photo-resist.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein printing the adhesion layer includes ink jet printing or stencil printing the adhesion layer with the conductive ink.

3. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein printing the adhesion layer includes printing the adhesion layer using multiple types of conductive inks layer upon layer.

4. The method as claimed in claim 3 wherein the conductive inks are made of a single type of metal, metal alloy, or mixture of different metals or alloys.

5. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein printing the adhesion layer includes dispensing a predetermined amount of the conductive ink to deposit a uniform thickness of the adhesion layer.

6. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein printing the adhesion layer includes printing adhesion layer pads and adhesion layer bars on the protection layer, at least one of the adhesion layer bars connected to multiple of the adhesion layer pads.

7. A method of manufacture of an integrated circuit packaging system comprising:

forming aluminum pads on top of a silicon substrate;

forming a passivation layer on top of the aluminum pads and the silicon substrate;

exposing the aluminum pads from the passivation layer;

forming an under bump metallization (UBM) structure including:

printing, with a conductive ink, an adhesion layer over the exposed aluminum pads extended over the passivation layer,

depositing a photo-resist over the adhesion layer,

patterning the photo-resist to form holes in the photo-resist partially exposing the adhesion layer, and

forming additional UBM layers, utilizing an electro-deposition process, on the adhesion layer within the holes, the additional UBM layers including a diffusion barrier layer on the adhesion layer, a wettable layer on the diffusion barrier layer, and an oxidation barrier layer on the wettable layer;

forming solder bumps on top of the under bump metallization structure; and

removing the patterned photo-resist.

8. The method as claimed in claim 7 wherein printing the adhesion layer includes ink jet printing or stencil printing the adhesion layer with the conductive ink.

9. The method as claimed in claim 7 wherein printing the adhesion layer includes printing the adhesion layer using multiple types of the-conductive inks layer upon layer.

10. The method as claimed in claim 9 wherein the conductive inks are made of a single type of metal, metal alloy, or mixture of different metals or alloys.

11. The method as claimed in claim 7 wherein printing the adhesion layer includes dispensing a predetermined amount of the conductive ink to deposit a uniform thickness of the adhesion layer.

12. The method as claimed in claim 7 wherein printing the adhesion layer includes printing adhesion layer pads and adhesion layer bars on the protection layer, at least one of the adhesion layer bars connected to multiple of the adhesion layer pads.
