Abstract
A method for preparing a semiconductor device includes providing an integrated circuit die having a bond pad. The bond pad includes aluminum (Al). The method also includes etching a top portion of the bond pad to form a recess, and bonding a wire bond to the recess in the bond pad. The wire bond includes copper (Cu).
Claims6
A method for preparing a semiconductor device, comprising:
- providing an integrated circuit die having a bond pad, wherein the bond pad includes aluminum (Al);
- forming a first dielectric layer over the bond pad;
- forming a second dielectric layer over the first dielectric layer;
- forming a first photoresist layer over the second dielectric layer;
- etching the first dielectric layer and the second dielectric layer using the first photoresist layer as a mask to form an opening which is a through opening penetrating through the first dielectric layer and the second dielectric layer;
- forming a second photoresist layer over the first photoresist layer and extending into the opening;
- etching the bond pad using the second photoresist layer as a mask to form a recess;
- and
- performing a bonding process to bond a wire bond to the recess of the bond pad, wherein the wire bond includes copper (Cu);
- wherein a splash is formed around the wire bond and in the opening during the bonding process.
