Self-assembled monolayers for reduced temperature direct metal thermocompression bonding. Applied Physics Letters, 91(6). | Series/Report no.: | Applied physics letters | Abstract: | A reduction in the bonding temperature required for direct gold-gold (Au–Au) thermocompression bonding is observed by coating a monolayer of dodecanethiol on gold surfaces prior to bonding. The results show that Au–Au bonded joints of 26.9 g per bump strength can be achieved at a temperature as low as 160 °C. The temperature drop becomes more apparent when both coated and blank gold samples are exposed in air over some time before bonding. The authors propose that self-assembled monolayers passivate metal surface by obviating the adsorption of surface contaminants, in particular, carbon and oxygen but get desorbed just before bonding takes place. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10356/90696 http://hdl.handle.net/10220/7708 |
