Reliability of Cu-to-Cu direct bonging: In order to realize the reliability of Cu-to-Cu direct bonding interconnects, we adopted nanotwinned Cu (nt-Cu) electroplating process to fabricate nt-Cu microbump for Cu-to-Cu direct bonding. Figure (a) is the photo of chip after bonding. Underfill (UF) dispensing was used to protect Cu microbumps. The cross-section SEM image of Cu microbump is shown in figure (b). Some chips underwent the reliability tests, including temperature cycling test (TCT) and electromigration (EM) test. To further study the failure mechanism, finite element analysis (FEA) was done to know the stress and current distribution during reliability test. This research could provide fundamental understanding for Cu-Cu joints with organic dielectric hybrid bonding.

High entropy materials were proposeddeveloped by Professor Jien-Wei Yeh in 1995. He named, defined,elucidated “High-Entropy Alloys,” as well as established High-Entropy Materials Center to develop critical materials for smart machine, green technology, biomedical technology,national defense. Alloys with high strength, corrosion resistance,anti-bacterial capability are also developed for manufacturing knives, door handles, handrails, etc. to prevent infection during the post-epidemic era.
