Abstract
This study investigates the low-temperature photo imageable dielectric (LT-PID) as a next-generation material for redistribution layers (RDLs) in advanced packaging applications, with a focus on high-performance computing (HPC) and Artificial Intelligence (AI). LT-PID provides several critical advantages, including exceptionally low curing shrinkage, superior adhesion to key substrates such as silicon (Si), silicon oxide (SiOx), silicon nitride (SiNx), and copper (Cu), and robust thermal stability at lower processing temperatures. These properties make LT-PID an excellent candidate for enhancing the mechanical stability and reliability of fine-pitch interposers, a crucial requirement for heterogeneous integration in advanced packaging technologies. In addition, the optimization of lithography and plasma descum processes has shown that LT-PID contributes to improved contact resistance and uniform surface morphology. The use of O2/SF6 plasma descum significantly reduces via-bottom residue, further enhancing the electrical performance of Cu interconnects.
