Abstract

Thermal stability of evaporated Pd, Pt and Rh films as reaction barriers to Au-Sn solder was studied for the application to fl1p-ch1p optoelectronic integration. Sn 1n the solder diffused preferentially Into a barrier metal uniformly to produce more stable IntermetalUc phases for all three metals. Pt and Rh exhibited sufficiently samll 1nterd1ffus1on coefficients with high activation energies 1n the temperature range of device operation (Pt: 1.35 eV, Rh: 1.95 eV). This result demonstartes the usefulness of Pt and Rh 1n practical flip-chip Integrated circuit fabrication. Aging test was conducted on fl1p-ch1p GalnAs/InP p-1-n photodiodes with Au-Sn/Pt metallization and no severe degradation was observed over 3400 h at 180 ° C. The same metallization techniques were applied 1n the fabrication of 10 Gbps optoelectronic Integrated receivers as well as quad p-i-n photodiodes for coherent optical receivers.
