Development of flip-chip interconnections of photodetector readout circuit (ROIC)

In this paper, the interconnection between 16×16 photodetector ROIC and substrate for the ROIC test was developed. Three kinds of substrate methods, i.e. high-density organic substrate, silicon interposer substrate and through-silicon-via (TSV) technology, were adopted. Three corresponding technical process flows were designed, and corresponding experiments were conducted. Finally, the interconnection between photodetector ROIC and substrates as well as the test of ROIC performance were realized. Above three solutions were compared and evaluated in process realizability, interconnection performance and cost etc. It turns out that TSV method is considered as the advanced and ideal interconnection solution for the test of 16×16, 32×32 and 64×64 photodetector ROIC.
