Description
(54) SEMICONDUCTOR CHIP INTERCONNECRON (71) We, THE MARCONI COMPANY
LIMITED, a British Company of Marconi
House, New Street, Chelmsford, Essex CMl 1PL, do hereby declare the invention, for which we pray that a patent may be granted to us, and the method by which it is to be performed, to be particularly described in and by the following statement: - This invention relates to a method of providing electrical interconnections for semiconductor materials. Although many methods are already in existence, a difficulty arises in providing electrical connections to certain kinds of semiconductor materials which are particularly fragile.
The present invention seeks to reduce this difficulty.
According to this invention, a method of providing an electrical interconnection between two bodies of semiconductor material includes the steps of roughening selected surface areas of each body, immersing said bodies side by side in a plating solution and illuminating with light said selected surface areas whilst the bodies are immersed until the plating deposits on the two bodies merge to form a mechanical link.
Plating occurs at the roughened areas of the body of semiconductor material and the thickness of the plating depends on the nature of the semiconductor material, the nature of the plating solution, and the time for which plating is allowed to continue.
The method is particularly suitable for use with semiconductor material which it is difficult to make electrical connections to by conventional methods such as thermo-compression bonding or soldering.
In the present method the semiconductors are not subjected to stress or shock, and if the thickness of the plating is sufficiently thick, a strong and rigid mechanical and electrical link is produced.
The invention is further described, by way of example, with reference to the drawings accompanying the Provisional specification in which Figures 1, 2 and 3 illustrate three sequential stages in the production of an interconnection between two bodies of semiconductor material.
Referring to Figure 1, there is shown therein two bodies 1 and 2 of semiconductor material. The two bodies may be composed of different materials, and each is provided with a locally roughened area 3 and 4. The roughening may be produced mechanically by abrasion or by bombardment with charged particles. The areas 3 and 4 are defined by a protective surrounding mask (not shown) to prevent damage to the region on either side. The mask is conveniently a photoresist mask, and before it is laid down the surfaces of the semiconductors should be made smooth to prevent undesired deposition of plating material at a later stage. The process may be as described in "New Semiconductor
Contact Technology", Electronic Letters,
Volume 12, No. 6, 18th March, 1976.
The two bodies 1 and 2 are immersed side by side in a bath of plating solution, and the mask may either be removed prior to this or left in position. The areas 3 and 4 are illuminated with light. The light from an ordinary incandescent filament bulb is sufficient. Plating proceeds in the presence of illumination in the roughened areas, and in the usual manner a progressive overhang is formed as the thickness of the plated layers 5 and 6 increases. This situation is illustrated in Figure 2. The plating process allowed to continue until the overhangs meet at the outer edges of the two bodies of semiconductor material. The two plated layers then merge and continue to grow as a single homogeneous layer, as shown in
Figure 3. Growth is continued until limited by the nature of the semiconductor materials and the plating solutions or until a sufficient thickness has been built up.
Because the two semiconductor bodies are closely spaced, this method of interconnection allows a high density of interconnections to be achieved. This can be an important consideration with some kinds of semiconductor chips carrying integrated circuitry. It will be understood that overhangs are formed at each perimeter of a plated area, but only the overhangs referenced 7 and 8 in Figure 2 contribute to the interconnection.
WHAT WE CLAIM IS: - 1. A method of providing an electrical interconnection between two bodies of semiconductor material including the steps of roughening selected surface areas of each body, immersing said bodies side by side in a plating solution and illuminating with light said selected surface areas whilst the bodies are immersed until the plating deposits on the two bodies merge to form a mechanical link.
2. A method as claimed in claim 1 and wherein the selected surface areas are roughened by bombardment with charged particles.
3. A method of providing an electrical interconnection between two bodies of semiconductor material substantially as described with reference to the drawings accompanying the Provisional specification.
