Reflow process optimization for micro-bumps applications in 3D technology

In this paper a reflow process for fine-pitch micro-bumps is studied. A mathematical model for the reflow process is proposed and verified by experimental measurements. The influence of reflow profile parameters on the shape of micro-bumps, will be discussed using three commercial reflow ovens. Furthermore, measurement results of bump height variations after reflow over a 300mm wafer will be presented.
