Indium chloride bath was characterized towards the application of low-temperature thermal compression bonding. The electrochemical behavior of the indium chloride bath was analyzed using the cyclic voltammetry method. Electrochemical deposition of indium was carried out at various deposition factors on different materials such as copper, nickel, and cobalt. Based on the results of indium deposition obtained from the blanket films, indium bumps were electrochemically fabricated inside a through-resist hole pattern at various current densities. In addition, stacked indium bumps with various metals (Cu/In, Cu/Ni/In, Cu/Co/In) were formed for a practical application of micro bump bonding. Moreover, the formation of the intermetallic compounds between indium and under bump metallization was investigated.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
