Abstract: Disclosed is an ordered microelectronic fabrication sequence in which color filters are formed by conformal deposition directly onto a photodetector array of a CCD, CID, or CMOS imaging device to create a concave-up pixel surface, and, overlayed with a high transmittance planarizing film of specified index of refraction and physical properties which optimize light collection to the photodiode without additional conventional microlenses. The optically flat top surface serves to encapsulate and protect the imager from chemical and thermal cleaning treatment damage, minimizes topographical underlayer variations which would aberrate or cause reflection losses of images formed on non-planar surfaces, and, obviates residual particle inclusions induced during dicing and packaging. A CCD imager is formed by photolithographically patterning a planar-array of photodiodes on a semiconductor substrate. The photodiode array is provided with metal photoshields, passivated, and, color filters are formed thereon.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method and apparatus for preventing extrusion or spiking of a metal atom from a metallization layer to other layers of a silicon wafer. In one embodiment, the method includes forming a silicon-on-ship device with a MEMS component on the substrate. The MEMS component may include one or more metal or metallic alloys. To prevent spiking from the MEMS component, the sides thereof can be coated with one ore more spacer or barrier layers. In one embodiment, oxygen plasma and thermal oxidation methods are used to deposit spacers. In another embodiment, an oxide layer is deposited over the wafer, covering the substrate and the MEMS component. Selective etching or anisotropic etching can be used to remove the oxide layer from certain regions of the MEMS and the substrate while covering the sidewalls. An amorphous silicon layer can then be deposited to cover the MEMS device.

Abstract: A new method and processing sequence is provided for the formation of solder bumps that are in contact with underlying aluminum contact pads. A patterned layer of negative photoresist is interposed between a patterned layer of PE Si3N4 and a patterned layer of polyamide insulator. The patterned negative photoresist partially overlays the aluminum contact pad and prevents contact between the layer of polyamide insulator and the aluminum contact pad. By forming this barrier no moisture that is contained in the polyamide insulator can come in contact with the aluminum contact pad, therefore no corrosion in the surface of the aluminum contact pad can occur.
