1374867 Semi-conductor devices RCA CORPORATION 12 May 1972 [20 May 1971] 22441/72 Heading H1K A transistor, particularly suitable for "flipchip" bonding to external conductors comprises a semi-conductor body 2 providing a collector region 4, a base region 6, and a plurality of emitter regions (10a, 10b), 10c, 10d, Fig. 1 (not shown), each region having a portion thereof exposed at a surface of the body and making contact to electrode material thereat, an insulating layer 28 covering the surface and electrode material and having openings to the electrode material, raised solder bumps 42, 46, 44a, 44b, 44c, 44d being present on the electrode material in the openings. The layer 28 may include borosilicate glass, the etchant producing the openings in the layer 28 including a zinc solution to prevent oxidation of the electrode material beneath the openings when the material is aluminium. Nickel may be electrolessly deposited on the zinc film prior to deposition of a lead, tin and silver solder. The body 2 may be of silicon and the regions be diffused therein. |
