Abstract

In this paper, we report a new technology for fabricating interconnects and/or contact probes for LSI fabrication. We used a Mo-Cr spring wire as a lead wire. To reduce the resistance of the lead wire, we applied a Au plating bump to the tip of a Mo-Cr spring covered with Au thin film. Experimental results showed that contact resistance was lowered by forming an Au plating bump on the Mo-Cr spring wire, which was plated under controlled conditions.
