  • Patent number: 8148819
    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a semiconductor substrate on which an electrode and a Cu bump are stacked. On the electrode and the Cu bump, a metal bump layer is provided. The metal bump layer comprises (i) a solder layer via which the semiconductor device is bonded and electrically connected to the mounting substrate by metal bonding and (ii) a Cu layer. A intermetallic compound can be formed by interdiffusion of the Cu layer and the solder layer.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7969004
    Abstract: In order to realize a semiconductor device which is easily mounted on a circuit board and which has high mounting reliability, a semiconductor device 1 of the present invention includes: a semiconductor substrate 2; and an Au bump 3 provided on an electrode 21. The Au bump 3 is provided with a projection 3a. Also, on a surface of the Au bump 3, a solder layer 32 is formed via a Ni layer 31. The projection 3a makes it possible to easily mount the semiconductor device 1 by applying a small weight. Further, even if the amount of solder 62 supplied on an electrode 61 on a circuit board 6 is reduced, it is possible to bond the semiconductor device with a sufficient amount of solder during mounting. Furthermore, because a Ni layer 31 prevents dissolution of the bump, it is possible to ensure high mounting reliability.

    Abstract: A semiconductor device of the present invention includes a semiconductor substrate on which an electrode and a Cu bump are stacked, and on the electrode and the Cu bump, a metal bump layer is provided, in which (i) a solder layer via which the semiconductor device is bonded and electrically connected to the mounting substrate by metal bonding and (ii) a Cu layer, an intermetallic compound being formed by interdiffusion of the Cu layer and the solder layer are included. Hence, the present semiconductor device can be mounted with a high bonding strength while avoiding a decrease in mounting reliability, by flip chip mounting by means of metal bonding.
