In this paper, a wafer-level packaging solution for pressure sensor microelectromechanical system (MEMS) is reported. Sensor and glass cap wafers are anodically bonded at a bonding temperature less than 400°C. Bubble free interfaces are obtained and the bond strength is higher than 20 MPa. Sensor and bottom silicon cap wafers are bonded at a temperature of 400–450°C with the assistance of a gold intermediate layer. The bond strenght is higher than 5 MPa. The via holes, used for feedthroughs leading out the circuit, on bottom silicon cap wafer are anisotropically formed in KOH etching solution. Aluminum layer is sputtered on the bottom silicon wafer for electrical connection, re-routing circuit and the seed layer of under bump metallization (UBM). During sputtering process, the sidewalls of via holes are also sputtered with aluminum film. At the same time, the metal pads on sensor wafer are also built up to connect with metallized via holes. It is found that the cavities are vacuum sealed. Sputtered Cr/Ni/Au layers are used for UBM layers. Finally, solder bumps can printed or plated on the UBM. The whole process leads to promising performance of the devices.

Abstract A flexible fan-out wafer-level packaging (FOWLP) process for heterogeneous integration of high performance dies in a flexible and biocompatible elastomeric package (FlexTrateTM) was used to assemble 625 dies with co-planarity and tilt <1μm, average die-shift of 3.28 μm with σ < 2.23 μm. Fine pitch interconnects (40μm pitch) were defined using a novel corrugated topography to mitigate the buckling phenomenon of metal films deposited on elastomeric substrates. Corrugated interconnects were then used to interconnect 200 dies, and then tested for cyclic mechanical bending reliability and have shown less than 7% change in resistance after bending down to 1 mm radius for 1,000 cycles.

The growing and diversifying system requirements have continued to drive the development of a variety of new package technologies and configurations: small form factor, low weight, low profile, high pin count and high speed and low cost. Embedded chip in EMC, also called fan-out wafer-level packaging (FOWLP), has been used in various products such as baseband, RF (radio frequency) transceiver, and PMICs (power management ICs). Currently, INFO technology developed by TSMC®, NANIUM® were in mass production for 3D integration for processor and memory, which inspires other packaging foundries to develop their own embedded FOWLP for the forecasted explosive growth of this market in the next few years. There are a number of challenges for FOWLP. For process point of view, temporary bonding and de-bonding are required. EMC wafers are difficult to handle due to its large warpage driven by the big CTE difference between the Si and molding material. In addition, the manufacturing of fine pitch RDL on EMC surface is also difficult. In this paper, the concept of wafer level embedded Si Fan-Out (eSiFO) technology was introduced and the development progress was reported. For eSiFO, cavities with certain depth were formed by Si dry etch. Then device dies were thinned to designed thickness. The dice were then placed into the cavities and bonded by the attached film on the bottom of the dice. A reconstructed wafer was formed. The micro gap between the chip and sidewall of the cavity as well as the surface of the reconstructed wafer were filled by dry film using vacuum process. Next, the pads were opened, followed RDL fabrication, repassivation, BGA, wafer thinning and dicing. Finally, an eSiFO package was fabricated. There are a number of advantages for eSiFO technology. There is nearly no warpage since the Si was used as reconstruct substrate. The process is relatively simple since no molding, temporary bonding and de-bonding are required. RDL manufacturing is easier on Si wafer vs with molding compounds and can achieve high density routing. Furthermore, it can provide small form factor since the thinning of wafer is the last step. To prove the concept of eSiFO, a 3.3 x 3.3mm package with 50 BGA bumps at 400μm pitch was fabricated. The device wafer was thinned to 100μm. The die size is 1.96 × 2.36mm with pad pitch at about 90μm. The depth of the cavities on 8 in. wafer formed by Bosch process on bare Si wafer was 107μm with 8μm variation. The length and width of Si cavities is 20μm larger than die size. In the package, there is one layer Cu RDL with thickness of 3μm, minimum line width of 13.72μm. The BGA ball diameter is 280μm. All the processes were evaluated and the results showed such packages can be produced. Reliability tests including THS, T/C, HTS and HAST were carried out and no failure issue was observed. Mechanical simulation was used to analyze the stress distribution during TC test and the results showed the maximum stress was located at the RDL near the UBM. In summary, a low cost wafer level fan out technology using reconstructed Si wafer was developed. The process is simple without molding, temporary bonding and de-bonding. The reliability tests of test vehicles proved that such package is reliable. The newly developed eSiFO technology can be widely used for chips requiring fan-Out, small form factor and high density interconnects.

Wafer Level Packaging

Advanced process technology is required to develop and enable mass production of Fan-Out Wafer-Level Packaging (FOWLP) solutions for high-density 3D and 2.5D packaging. Canon has identified key challenges that must be solved for successful implementation of high-density integration technologies and has developed key technology for Canon Litho Systems to support the most challenging processes. In this paper, Canon will present process optimization results for high-resolution patterning of wafers across large topography as well as solutions that enable litho systems to compensate for FOWLP grid error due to die placement errors.
