摘要

Ga-based liquid metals are widely used in flexible electronic micro-interconnections due to their unique combination of metallic and fluidic properties. (111)-Oriented nanotwinned Cu (nt-Cu) is a newly developed under-bump metallization (UBM) for three-dimensional (3D) packaging technology. This study investigates the formation and growth mechanisms of interfacial CuGa2 intermetallic compound (IMC) on both (111)-oriented nt-Cu and conventional polycrystalline Cu substrates at 150°C. Compared to polycrystalline Cu, (111)-oriented nt-Cu substrate significantly retards the growth kinetics of interfacial CuGa2. Distinct roof-type CuGa2 grains with a strong (102) preferred orientation form on (111)-oriented nt-Cu, whereas randomly oriented brick-type CuGa2 grains form on polycrystalline Cu. The initial (102) preferential orientation of CuGa2 grains on (111)-oriented nt-Cu remains stable even after an extended reaction time of 20 min. The smallest atomic misfit (10.17 %) occurs between the <110> direction on the {111}cu plane and the <010> direction on the {102}CuGa2 plane. The preferred orientation relationships between the roof-type CuGa2 grains and the (111)-oriented nt-Cu are identified as follows: {102}CuGa2||{111}Cu and <010>CuGa2||<110>Cu; {102}CuGa2||{111}Cu and <201>CuGa2||<112>Cu. This study provides fundamental insights into interfacial reactions at (111)-oriented nt-Cu UBMs for Ga-based liquid metal flexible micro-interconnects.
