Under Bump Metallization

 
 
 

Production-Proven Nickel Plating Chemistry

DuPont Electronics & Industrial offers a production-proven nickel plating chemistry that is ideal for under bump metallization (UBM). This product is formulated to meet the wide variety of customer needs for uniform deposits, excellent barrier capabilities, solderability, and other characteristics that are essential for consistent wafer fabrication.

Product Lines:

  • NIKAL™ BP Chemistry
  • NIKAL™ BP Boric Acid Free Chemistry
 
 
 
  • Under bump metallization – or UBM – is an advanced packaging process that involves creating a thin film metal layer stack between the integrated circuit (IC) or copper pillars and solder bumps in a flip chip package. Critical to package reliability, the stack serves 3 purposes:

    • It forms the electrical connection between the die and the bump
    • It serves as a barrier to eliminate unwanted diffusion
    • It creates the mechanical connection between the bump and the bump pad

  • Under Bump Metallization

    We offer a production-proven electroplating nickel chemistry tailored to meet a variety of UBM process needs

  • Copper Pillar Plating

    Our production-proven Cu pillar formulations work in perfect harmony with our under-bump metallization (UBM) and tin-silver capping chemistries, to provide a seamless solution for all your Cu pillar needs.

  • Solder Bump Plating

    DuPont’s award-winning Solderon™ BP electroplating chemistries are a reliable alternative to tin-lead alloys for all wafer bumping applications.

    Solderon™ BP IN 1000 indium plating chemistry is designed for solder plating processes used in advanced wafer-level packaging for emerging applications that are sensitive to temperature. Its use minimizes substrate warpage and stress, and reduces the possibility of damaging materials in delicate devices due to significantly reduced reflow temperature.
