Abstract:
WLP semiconductor devices include bump assemblies that have a barrier layer for inhibiting electromigration within the bump assemblies. In an implementation, the bump assemblies include copper posts formed on the integrated circuit chips of the WLP devices. Barrier layers formed of a metal such as nickel (Ni) are provided on the outer surface of the copper posts to inhibit electromigration in the bump assembly. Oxidation prevention caps formed of a metal such as tin (Sn) are provided over the barrier layer. Solder bumps are formed over the oxidation prevention caps. The oxidation prevention caps inhibit oxidation of the barrier layer during fabrication of the bump assemblies.
