Microbump creation system for advanced packaging applications

Recently, DuPont Wafer Level Packaging Solutions has developed a photoresist/remover chemistry system to address the micro-bump market with a new family of dry films capable of imaging the required less than 50 micron pitch, and cleanly remove them. The focus of the presentation will be twofold. The first part will focus on the process development and characterization of the 40 micron thick DuPont MXAdvance * 140 dry film candidate with 2:1 aspect resolution ratio on a 40 micron pitch application with 30 - 40 micron high pillars/micro-bumps. The second part will review the results of the DuPont EKC162trade remover tests and its impact on copper and lead free, and or solder electro-deposition processes. Together, the combination of a high resolution dry film and effective remover chemistry that strips the photoresist cleanly from the wafers offers customers a viable process for producing micro-bump technologies.
