A semiconductor package structure using the same is provided. The semiconductor package structure includes a first semiconductor element, a second semiconductor element, a binding wire and a molding compound. The first semiconductor element includes a semiconductor die and a pad. The pad is disposed above the semiconductor die and includes a metal base, a hard metal layer disposed above the metal base and an anti-oxidant metal layer disposed above the hard metal layer. The hardness of the hard metal layer is larger than that of the metal base. The activity of the anti-oxidant metal layer is lower than that of the hard metal layer. The first semiconductor element is disposed above the second semiconductor element. The bonding wire is connected to the pad and the second semiconductor element. The molding compound seals the first semiconductor element and the bonding wire and covers the second semiconductor element.
Abstract:
A formation method and structure of conductive bump are provided. A conductive bump is formed on a wafer through an under bump metallurgy layer. A nickel-based wetting layer in the under bump metallurgy layer is applied on the conductive bump to prevent stannum in the conductive bump from diffusing downwards.
Abstract:
A method of modifying the tin to lead ratio of a tin-lead bump forms a patterned solder mask over a substrate that comprises a first tin-lead bump formed thereon, the patterned solder mask having an opening that exposes the tin-lead bump. A solder material including tin and lead is filled in the opening of the solder mask over the first tin-lead bump. The solder material has a tin to lead ratio that differs from that of the first tin-lead bump. The solder material is reflowed to fuse with the first tin-lead bump, which forms a second tin-lead bump. The tin to lead ratio of the second tin-lead bump is thereby different from that of the first tin-lead bump.
Abstract:
A method of forming a bump on an active surface of a wafer is disclosed. The method of the invention forms an under ball metallurgy (UBM) onto the active surface of the wafer. Then, the UBM is partially removed until a portion of the active surface of the wafer is exposed. At least one conductive stud is bonded onto the non-removed UBM by wire bonding.
Abstract:
A method of forming bumps on the active surface of a silicon wafer. An under-ball metallic layer is formed over the active surface of the wafer. A plurality of first solder blocks is attached to the upper surface of the under-ball metallic layer. Each first solder block has an upper surface and a lower surface. The lower surface of each first solder block bonds with the under-ball metallic layer. The upper surfaces of the first solder blocks are planarized. A second solder block is attached to the upper surface of each first solder block and then a reflow operation is carried out.
Abstract:
A method for preventing burnt fuse pads from further electrical connection suitable before the formation of bumps on the wafer. A dielectric layer is formed over the active surface of the wafer covering the bump pads and the fuse pads of the wafer, wherein a central region of the fuse pads is burnt to form a gap which allows the material of the dielectric layer to fill up the gap. Afterwards, either a part of the dielectric layer is removed and the part of the dielectric layer covering the fuse pads remainsor a part of the dielectric layer covering the bump pads is removed. Then, an under ball metallurgy layer is formed on the bump pads of the wafer so that the material of the under ball metallurgy layer does not cover the two sides of the fuse pad at the same time, or fill into the gap. As a result, the electrical isolation still remains.
Abstract:
A chip structure comprising a chip, a redistribution layer, a second passivation layer and at least a bump is provided. The chip has a first passivation layer and at least a bonding pad. The first passivation layer exposes the bonding pad and has at least a recess. The redistribution layer is formed over the first passivation layer and electrically connected to the bonding pad. Furthermore, the redistribution layer also extends from the bonding pad to the recess. The second passivation layer is formed over the first passivation layer and the redistribution layer. The second passivation layer also has an opening that exposes the redistribution layer above the recess. The bump passes through the opening and connects electrically with the redistribution layer above the recess.

Abstract:
A wafer-level package structure, applicable to a flip-chip arrangement on a carrier, which comprises a plurality of contact points, is described. This wafer-level package structure is mainly formed with a chip and a conductive layer. The conductive layer is arranged on the bonding pads of the chip as contact points. The conductive layer can further be arranged at a region outside the bonding pads on the chip as a heat sink to enhance the heat dissipation ability of the package.
