Since GCIB modifies only near surface, low-damage surface modification and activation are expected. In this study, Cu-Cu bonding with GCIB irradiation was selected as a preliminary study. XPS and contact angle measurement showed that surface oxide on Cu was removed efficiently by oblique incidence Ar-GCIB at 5–20 kV. Also, sequential irradiation of GCIB at normal and oblique incidence realized smooth Cu surface. After that Cu-Cu bonding strength was investigated by the tensile test.","PeriodicalId":183993,"journal":{"name":"2017 5th International Workshop on Low Temperature Bonding for 3D Integration (LTB-3D)","volume":"47 4","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132811095","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In our previous work, we have demonstrated the usage of optimized Manganin metal alloy of 3 nm not only helps in passivating the Cu surface even at high temperature (<300°C) but also reduces the surface roughness to about 0.8 nm which substantially led to high quality Cu-Cu bonding. In this paper, we demonstrate an ultra-fine pitch Cu-Cu thermocompression bonding using an optimized ultra-thin damascene compatible Manganin metal alloy passivation. This engineering surface passivation approach has led to high quality bonding at sub 200° C temperature and a nominal contact force of 4kN. Furthermore, electrical characterization using modified kelvin structure, and reliability assessment of this bonded structure was investigated under multiple current stressing, temperature cycling test and the results indicate excellent stability without electrical performance degradation. This practical finding has immense potential to leads into practical realization of 3D IC integration.","PeriodicalId":183993,"journal":{"name":"2017 5th International Workshop on Low Temperature Bonding for 3D Integration (LTB-3D)","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115772691","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
