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 The need to increase transistor packing density beyond Moore's Law and the need for expanding functionality, realestate management and faster connections has pushed the industry to develop complex 3D package technology which includes System-in-Package (SiP), wafer-level packaging, through-silicon-vias (TSV), stacked-die and flex packages. These stacks of microchips, metal layers and transistors have caused major challenges for existing Fault Isolation (FI) techniques and require novel non-destructive, true 3D Failure Localization techniques. We describe in this paper innovations in Magnetic Field Imaging for FI that allow current 3D mapping and extraction of geometrical information about current location for non-destructive fault isolation at every chip level in a 3D stack.
