Abstract
A wire-bonding method for chips with copper interconnects by introducing a thin layer is provided for solving the problem of oxidizing a copper bonding-pad during bonding processing in order not to deteriorate the bonding strength and yield rate thereof. The wire-bonding method of the present invention comprises: a step for providing a chip with a copper bonding-pad; another step for providing an aqueous solution to form a Cuprous oxide thin layer on the copper bonding-pad; and yet another step for setting a plurality of copper interconnects on the copper bonding-pad and providing an ultrasonic power for removing the Cuprous oxide layer to have the interconnects bonded on the copper bonding-pad.
