Figure 3.9 Exposure time vs. Aperture Size 7. Development: The SolderBrace material in the patterned area that had not been exposed to the UV light was washed away by a three step cleaning process: a). 30sec acetone spray and dry; b). 2-3 min ultrasonic develop in DI(PROPYLENE GLYCOL) METHYL ETHER ACETATE (PGMEA); c). 30sec isopropanol (IPA) rinse and dry. Acetone was very effective in cleaning the residue from the pads and IPA has a higher vapor pressure making drying the film easy. 54

8. Pattern characterization: The substrate was inspected using a microscope to determine the quality of the developed features. A stylus-type profilometer was used to measure the height of the features. 9. Final baking: 15 minutes final bake at 100 o C oven was very important to adhere and completely cure the material on the wafer. Figure 3.10 is an SEM cross-section picture of the fabricated bumping sites. Figure 3.10 Cross-section of the open vias 10. Fluxing: The application of flux onto the bond pads. - Flux: Flux is a chemical cleaning agent that prepares a clean surface for joining and facilitates soldering by removing oxides and other nonmetallic impurities from the soldering surfaces. Flux selection: Commercial Kester TSF-6592 and Lord no-flow flux were used in this research for the pre-formed solderball placement. TSF-6592 is a no-clean paste flux designed as a lead free solution for an array of Lead Free alloys such as SnAgCu, SnCu, SnAg, and SnAgBi. Stencil printing was chosen as the method to transfer the flux onto the wafer. Lord no-flow flux is a new product that 55
