摘要
Thick electroplated Cu bond-pads have recently been shown to allow for heavy Cu wire-bonding on silicon power devices. The Cu surface oxides present on these pads are a major concern for the bonding process and for a sufficiently stable bond formation. They currently have to be removed after the die-attach and prior to wire bonding. To avoid such removal, the application of a thin Al coating on the Cu bond-pads is investigated for its passivating ability and its suitability for the bonding process. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V.
