  • Publication number: 20260130232
    Abstract: A packaging device including bumps and a method of manufacturing the packaging device are presented. In the method of manufacturing a packaging device, a dielectric layer that covers a packaging base is formed and a lower layer is formed over a packaging base including first and second connecting pads. A plurality of dummy bumps that overlaps with the dielectric layer is formed. A sealing pattern that covers the dummy bumps, filling areas between the dummy bumps, is formed. A lower layer pattern in which the plurality of dummy bumps have been disposed is formed by removing portions of the lower layer that are exposed and do not overlap with the sealing pattern.

  • Patent number: 6716738
    Abstract: Disclosed is a fabrication method of UBM for flip chip interconnections of a semiconductor device, consisting of dipping a patterned wafer into a plating solution containing materials supplying nickel and copper ions, forming a copper layer at a predetermined current density for connection between a chip pad and a solder bump and for residual stress-buffering, and forming a nickel-copper alloy layer at an increased current density for prevention of diffusion between the solder and the pad. The method is advantageous in terms of low fabrication cost due to not requiring an etching process, while meeting the conditions of wettability, diffusion-barrier function and small residual stress required to form UBM on the patterned wafer.
