ETCHING OF UNDER BUMP METALLIZATION LAYER AND RESULTING DEVICE

ETCHING OF UNDER BUMP METALLIZATION LAYER AND RESULTING DEVICE

Methods for wet etching a UBM layer and the resulting devices are disclosed. Embodiments may include patterning metal bumps on a wafer that has at least two metal layers thereon; exposing the wafer to a first acid solution to remove a portion of a first of the two metal layers exposed by the pattern...

Zusammenfassung:Methods for wet etching a UBM layer and the resulting devices are disclosed. Embodiments may include patterning metal bumps on a wafer that has at least two metal layers thereon; exposing the wafer to a first acid solution to remove a portion of a first of the two metal layers exposed by the patterning of the metal bumps; and exposing the wafer to a second acid solution to remove a portion a second of the two metal layers exposed by the patterning of the metal bumps and the exposure of the wafer to the first acid solution, wherein an undercut below the metal bumps, formed by removal of the portions of the first and second metal layers, is less than 1.5 microns.
