Abstract

Al fluoride oxide on microchip Al bondpads may cause non-stick on pad (NSOP) problem during bonding process. In this study, a failure mechanism to form Al fluoride oxide-AlxOyFz has been proposed. Based on the failure mechanism, F contamination on Al bondpads, it will chemically react with Al and form Al-F complex compound, such as [AlF 6]3. [AlF6]3- formed may become an anode and further chemical reaction from O2 and moisture (H 2O) will occur at the cathode and form the new product, OH-ions, which will undergo chemical reaction with Al to form Al(OH)3, and then become Al2O3. Finally, Al-F complex compound may further chemically react with Al2O3 to form Al fluoride oxide-AlxOyFz.
