With the advantage of high surface-roughness tolerance, the pillar-concave Cu-Cu direct bonding without chemical-mechanical planarization (CMP) is investigated in detail, including the mechanism of thermal compensation, analysis of roughness, bonding strength, and bonding reliability. With the special design of Cu bond structure, excellent bonding results can be achieved under low thermal budget (150 degrees C for 1 min, atmosphere) with even high roughness of bonding surface. In addition, the pillar-concave scheme applied to fan-out panel-level package (FOPLP) has been demonstrated, showing the high feasibility of this scheme to realize applications in heterogeneous integration.

Low temperature (150 degrees C) and short duration Cu-Cu direct bonding, without planarization, and gang bonding approaches are demonstrated with excellent bond strength, electrical characteristics, and reliability. The concept is based on the high stress-led inducing deformation and internal friction to achieve low temperature bonding. In addition, the bonding structure has the advantage of high roughness tolerance on surface without CMP requirement. Compared to current products using Cu-Cu direct bonding at 350-400 degrees C with long duration and vacuum requirement, the breakthrough of proposed schemes provides the feasibility for product realization in 3D integration packaging.
