Abstract :
A novel soldering technique for connecting input/output (I/O) pins on the back side of the wafer is described. After the preforms between the through-holes etched into the silicon wafer and the I/O pins are melted in vacuum (about 1 torr), the vacuum is released to make the solder flow into the through-hole area, soldering the I/O pins to the metallization layer on the active devices. This process provides reliable and highly conductive metal interconnection through the wafer because a virtually voidless solder layer is formed without the use of flux. The percentage of void-free through-holes is 95%, and the resistance of each through-hole is 10-15 mΩ. It is demonstrated that this method provides ideal interconnections for hybrid wafer-scale integration
