Abstract This paper presents a new dielectric material capable of resolving 2 to 3μm features that are required for high density advanced packaging applications. The material is applied in dry film format to be conducive to panel-level processing. The material can be processed at temperatures below 170°C and total thermal shrinkage is below 5%, resulting in exceptionally low stress of 11 MPa. The film is thermally stable at temperatures up to 350°C. Mechanical and electrical properties of the material are state of the art. As the demand for high density packages increases, so will the pressure to lower the cost of manufacturing. Migrating from wafers to large non-circular panels offers several key cost advantages. There are multiple technical challenges that need to be addressed before commercial viability of panel scale manufacturing can be established. A new class of novel dielectric materials will be needed that can be processed at low temperatures and demonstrate low shrinkage to minimize warpage. In this study, 2 to 3μm patterns were successfully formed using i-line stepper exposure conditions. The process started by laminating a 510mm × 515mm panel with highly photosensitive dielectric film. The laminated panels were exposed at a nominal dose of 125 mJ/cm2. Fine negative tone patterns were created after development. For the metallization of the layer, the seed layer was deposited with titanium-copper sputtering. After the seed formation, trenches were filled with copper by an electrolytic plating process.
