The use of flip chip bonding technology on AuSn microbumps for flip chip packaging is becoming increasingly important in the electronics industry. Some of the main advantages of AuSn system over solder flip chip technology are suitability for very fine pitch interconnection, low assembly cost and fluxless bonding. Fluxless flip chip assembly is in demand especially for medical applications and optoelectonics packaging. Here, we report the assembly process development of a silicon stacked module assembled with AuSn microbumps to meet the stringent reliability. The effects of bond pressure distribution, bond temperature and alignment accuracy were found to be critical in this stacked silicon using AuSn microbumps. A three-factor design of experiment (DOE) was carried out to investigate the effects of assembly parameters such as bonding pressure, temperature and time on contact resistance and AuSn solder wetting on the eNiAu UBM. Results showed that higher bond force is undesirable and contributes to passivation cracking and deformed AuSn joint with AuSn solder being squeezed out of the joint during bonding. The reliability result of the flip chip assembly of stacked silicon module using AuSn microbumps was presented.
