감광성 고분자 범프와 NCA (Non-Conductive Adhesive)를 이용한 COG 접합에서의 불량 = Failure in the COG Joint Using Non-Conductive Adhesive and Polymer Bumps

국문 초록 (Abstract)

본 실험에서는 Non-Conductive Adhesive (NCA) 와 고분자 범프를 이용한 COG (Chip-on-glass) 접합에 대하여 연구하였다. 산화막이 증착된 Si 기판 위에 고분자 범프를 사진식각 방법으로 형성하고, 고분자 범프 위에 직류 마그네트론 스퍼터링 방법으로 금속 박막층을 증착하였다. 기판으로는 Al을 증착한 유리기판을 사용하였다. 두 종류의 NCA를 사용하여 $80^{\circ}C$에서 하중을 변화시켜가며 접합을 실시하였다. 접합부의 특성을 평가하기 위하여 4단자 저항 측정법을 이용하여 접합부의 접속 저항을 측정하였으며, 주사전자현미경을 이용하여 접합부를 관찰하였다. 신뢰성은 $0^{\circ}C$ 와 $55^{\circ}C$ 사이에서 열충격 실험을 2000회까지 실시하여 평가하였다. 신뢰성 측정 전 접합부의 저항 값은 $70-90m{\Omega}$을 나타내었다. 200MPa 이상의 접합 압력에서는 고분자 범프가 NCA 의 필러 파티클에 의해 손상된 것을 관찰하였다. 신뢰성 측정 후 일부 범프가 fail 되었는데 범프의 fail 원인은 범프의 윗부분보다 상대적으로 금속층이 얇게 증착된 범프의 모서리 부분의 금속층의 끊어졌기 때문이었다.

We studied a bonding at low temperature using polymer bump and Non-Conductive Adhesive (NCA), and studied the reliability of the polymer bump/Al pad joints. The polymer bumps were formed on oxidized Si substrates by photolithography process, and the thin film metals were formed on the polymer bumps using DC magnetron sputtering. The substrate used was AL metallized glass. The polymer bump and Al metallized glass substrates were joined together at $80^{\circ}C$ under various pressure. Two NCAs were applied during joining. Thermal cycling test ($0^{\circ}C-55^{\circ}C$, cycle/30 min) was carried out up to 2000 cycles to evaluate the reliability of the joints. The bondability was evaluated by measuring the contact resistance of the joints through the four point probe method, and the joints were observed by Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). The contact resistance of the joints was $70-90m{\Omega}$ before the reliability test. The joints of the polymer bump/Al pad were damaged by NCA filler particles under pressure above 200 MPa. After reliability test, some joints were electrically failed since thinner metal layers deposited at the edge of bumps were disconnected.
