Abstract

A thermally compliant multi-layer wiring structure on a semiconductor chip is described. The multi-layer wiring structure incorporates an “empty” or air gap under the interconnect wiring and does not allow any thermally induced strains to be transmitted to the interconnecting solder balls. This design is to be used in chip scale packaging applications where printed circuit technology is used as the next level of package.
