Spicer will be presenting on the topic Thin-Layer Au-Sn Solder Bonding Process for Wafer-Level Packaging, Electrical Interconnects and MEMS Applications. The results being presented were obtained within a development program for a MEMS-based memory device. Wafer-to-wafer bonding is a key process in MEMS wafer-level packaging (WLP).
The developed MEMS wafer bonding process utilizes gold-tin solder electroplating and provides liquid-proof sealing and multiple reliable electrical connections between the bonded wafers. The wafer bond can withstand 300ºC and features a thin bond line (2-3 ?m), high bond strength, excellent bond gap control, and low stress due to small amount of bonding material.
