Pillar Bump Technology and Integrated Embedded Passive Devices

In this paper, we will discuss the copper pillar bump structure and comparison will be made with standard solder bump and its advantages. Temperature cycles and high temperature storage reliability on QFN using copper pillar bump were performed. Results show that copper pillar bump can withstand up to 5000 cycles of mechanical stress test without mechanical and electrical failure. Electrical performance was discussed in term of current carrying density and comparison done with standard solder bump and its mean time to failure (MTTF) defined. The pillar bumps show that its MTTF is 2.3 times better than standard bump. JCAP (Jiangyin Changdian Advanced Packaging) uses the copper pillar bump technology and extend the technology to fabricate passive devices onto the chip. This application will improve the electrical performance and also the improve board space utilization
