Shearing Characteristics of Cu-Cu Joints Fabricated by Two-Step Process Using Highly <111>-Oriented Nanotwinned Cu

Cu-Cu bonding has the potential to break through the extreme boundary of scaling down chips’ I/Os into the sub-micrometer scale. In this study, we investigated the effect of 2-step bonding on the shear strength and electrical resistance of Cu-Cu microbumps using highly <111>-oriented nanotwinn...
