1. I, Jeffrey C. Suhling, a resident of Opelika, Alabama, hereby declare

as follows:

2. I have been retained by Foley & Lardner LLP to provide certain

opinions concerning the validity of the claims of U.S. Pat. No. 6,954,001 (“the

‘001 patent”) (Ex. 1001).

3. I am being compensated for my time at a rate of $300 per hour. I am

not receiving any other form of compensation. I have no interest in the outcome of

this proceeding, and my compensation is not dependent on the content of my

opinions or the outcome of this proceeding.

I. Introduction And Qualifications

4. My technical background and experience are summarized in my

resume (Exhibit A to this declaration). In summary, I earned a Bachelor of

Science in Applied Mathematics, Engineering, and Physics (AMEP) from the

University of Wisconsin in 1980. I earned a Master of Science in Engineering

Mechanics from the University of Wisconsin in 1981, and a Doctorate in

Engineering Mechanics from the University of Wisconsin in 1985.

5. I am currently employed as a Quina Distinguished Professor and

Department Chair at the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Auburn

University in Auburn, Alabama. I have been on the faculty at Auburn University

Exhibit 100200005

Page 6: UNITED STATES PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE BEFORE THE … · 2017-05-25 · Continental Automotive, Siemens, LG, General Dynamics Corporation, ... Compound (IMC) layers at the interfaces

Exhibit 1002

6

since 1985. I am a member of the American Society for Mechanical Engineers

(ASME) and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), and

currently serve on several boards.

6. My primary areas of expertise and research are semiconductor

packaging and solid mechanics. I have over 30 years of experience in each of

these fields. In the area of semiconductor packaging, I have extensive experience

in electronics assembly and packaging technologies and processes, stress and strain

analysis of electronic products, on-chip silicon sensors, solder joint reliability,

material testing and mechanical behavior of solders and microelectronic

encapsulants, and finite element modeling (FEA) and reliability modeling of

electronic products. I have regularly taught undergraduate-level and graduate-level

courses on electronics packaging technology for the past 25 years. I have

published and presented over 425 technical papers in various international journals

and conferences.

7. I co-founded the Center for Advanced Vehicle Electronics or

“CAVE” in 1998. This organization is a research center for semiconductor

packaging that has been continuously funded for the past 18 years by the National

Science Foundation and over 50 member companies. The CAVE Center

specializes in the assembly, packaging, mechanics, thermal, and reliability aspects

Exhibit 100200006

Page 7: UNITED STATES PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE BEFORE THE … · 2017-05-25 · Continental Automotive, Siemens, LG, General Dynamics Corporation, ... Compound (IMC) layers at the interfaces

Exhibit 1002

7

of semiconductor packaging in harsh environments such as automotive and

aerospace electronics, computer servers, cellular phones and portable electronics,

among other devices. I served as Center Director of CAVE from 2002-2008, and

Center Associate Director from 1998-2008. I have continued to direct two CAVE

research areas (Lead Free Soldering, and Flip Chip and Underfills) since being

promoted in 2008 to Department Chair of the Department of Mechanical

Engineering

8. I have received over 100 contracts and grants to support my research,

the bulk of which is focused on various aspects of semiconductor packaging. In

particular, I have obtained research support from the National Science Foundation,

Semiconductor Research Corporation, NASA, Department of Defense - Army, Air

Force, Navy, and over 50 companies including Texas Instruments, ST

Microelectronics, Freescale Semiconductor, NXP, Cookson Electronics, Henkel

Corporation, Schlumberger, John Deere Electronics, Chrysler Corporation,

Continental Automotive, Siemens, LG, General Dynamics Corporation, and others.

I have received several awards including being elected a Fellow of the American

Society of Mechanical Engineers, as well as receiving the Electronic Packaging

Division Mechanics Research Award from the same society.

9. As evidenced by my resume attached to this declaration, I am well

versed in semiconductor packaging technology and I have been working in that

field for nearly 30 years from 1988-present. I have published and presented over

350 technical papers in the electronic packaging technical area, as well as attending

over 50 technical conferences in the field. I have served as the Conference General

Chair of the 2009 International Conference on Packaging and Integration of

Electronic and Photonic Microsystems (InterPACK), and am currently serving as

the Vice Program Chair for the 2017 Intersociety Conference on Thermal and

Thermomechanical Phenomena in Electronic Systems (ITherm). I have also

served in other leadership roles in the semiconductor packaging area, including my

current appointment as Associate Editor for the ASME Journal of Electronic

Packaging, a leading technical journal in the field.

10. My expertise in the field of semiconductor packaging includes the

design, manufacturing, and reliability of interconnections for semiconductor chips,

which is the technology area addressed in the ‘001 patent. From the chronological

point of view, my experiences in these areas encompass the December 2001

alleged invention date of the ‘001 patent. In fact, over the past 20 years I have

worked extensively with several flip chip technologies as well as a variety of

Wafer Level Chip Scale Packages (WLCSPs). These efforts have involved

semiconductor chips with thin passivation films, redistribution layers (RDLs),

Exhibit 100200008

Page 9: UNITED STATES PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE BEFORE THE … · 2017-05-25 · Continental Automotive, Siemens, LG, General Dynamics Corporation, ... Compound (IMC) layers at the interfaces

Exhibit 1002

9

copper wiring (traces), insulating films, encapsulant (resin) layers, copper

plugs/pillars, and Sn-based solder balls, which are all elements discussed in the

technology of the ‘001 patent.

11. My work in these areas continues today. For example, WLCSPs are

currently being studied in my ongoing research project on isothermal aging

induced degradations on solder joint reliability. This work involves surface mount

assembly of several types of Wafer Level Packages to printed circuit boards, and

subsequent isothermal aging and thermal cycling reliability testing of the

assemblies. In addition, material testing has been performed to characterize the

mechanical properties of WLCSP dielectric layers and encapsulants, and finite

element modeling has been performed on WLCSP assemblies to predict their

reliability.

12. I am also very familiar with the soldering techniques used in

semiconductor packaging, including the development of Sn-Cu Intermetallic

Compound (IMC) layers at the interfaces where Sn-based solders are

metallurgically joined to copper contacts (electrodes) or to copper wiring. I have

performed research on soldering and solder joint reliability since the early 1990s,

and I published my first paper on solder joint reliability at the 1994 IEEE

Electronic Components and Technology Conference (ECTC). Over the past 25

Exhibit 100200009

Exhibit 1002

10

years, I have participated in over 50 research projects studying solders,

intermetallic compounds, and solder joint reliability, and I have co-authored over

190 scientific publications on the results of these studies in various international

technical journals and conference proceedings. My current research in this area

involves studying the growth of IMC particles and layers during isothermal aging

of plastic ball grid area (PBGA), WLCSP, and flip chip assemblies.

II. Understanding of the Governing Law and Perspectives Applied

A. Types Of Claims – Independent And Dependent

13. I understand that there are two types of U.S. patent claims: 1)

independent claims and 2) dependent claims. I understand that independent claims

only include the aspects stated in the independent claim. I further understand that

dependent claims include the aspects stated in that dependent claim, and any other

aspects stated in any claim from which that dependent claim depends.

B. Unpatentability By Anticipation Or Obviousness

14. I understand that a claim is not patentable if it is anticipated or

obvious. I understand that anticipation of a claim requires that every element of a

claim is disclosed expressly or inherently in a single prior art reference, arranged

as in the claim, when considered from the perspective of a person of ordinary skill

in the relevant art. I understand that when the structure recited in a reference is

Exhibit 100200010

Page 11: UNITED STATES PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE BEFORE THE … · 2017-05-25 · Continental Automotive, Siemens, LG, General Dynamics Corporation, ... Compound (IMC) layers at the interfaces

Exhibit 1002

11

substantially identical to that of the claims, claimed properties or functions are

presumed to be inherent.

15. I further understand that obviousness of a claim requires that the claim

be obvious from the perspective of a person of ordinary skill in the relevant art, at

the time the invention was made. In analyzing obviousness, I understand that it is

important to understand the scope of the claims, the level of skill in the relevant

art, the scope and content of the prior art, the differences between the prior art and

the claims, and any “secondary considerations” (described below). I also

understand that if a technique has been used to improve one device, and a person

of ordinary skill in the art would recognize that it would improve similar devices in

the same way, using the technique is obvious unless its actual application is

beyond his or her skill. There may also be a specific “teaching, suggestion or

motivation” to combine any first prior art reference with a second prior art

reference. Such a “teaching, suggestion, or motivation” to combine the first prior

art reference with the second prior art reference can be explicit or implicit.

C. Secondary Or Objective Evidence Of Non-obviousness

16. I understand that secondary (or objective) considerations are relevant

to the determination of whether a claim is obvious. Such secondary (or objective)

considerations can include evidence of commercial success caused by an invention,

Exhibit 100200011

Page 12: UNITED STATES PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE BEFORE THE … · 2017-05-25 · Continental Automotive, Siemens, LG, General Dynamics Corporation, ... Compound (IMC) layers at the interfaces

Exhibit 1002

12

evidence of a long-felt need that was solved by an invention, evidence that others

copied an invention, or evidence that an invention achieved a surprising or

unexpected result. I understand that such evidence must have a nexus, or causal

relationship to the elements of a claim, in order to be relevant to the obviousness or

non-obviousness of the claim. As explained in more detail below in paragraph

161, I am only aware of the alleged unexpected results as explained in the ‘001

patent, but those unexpected results are not tied to any actually claimed features of

claims 1-18. In the event any other secondary or objection evidence of non-

obviousness is identified, I reserve my right to review and respond to such

evidence.

D. Interpreting Patents Claims Before The Patent Office

17. I understand that “inter partes review” is a proceeding before the

United States Patent & Trademark Office (“Patent Office”) for evaluating the

unpatentability of an issued patent claim. Counsel has informed me that claims in

an inter partes review are given their broadest reasonable interpretation that is

consistent with the patent specification. I understand that a patent’s “specification”

includes all the figures, discussion, and claims within the patent document. I

understand that the Patent Office will look to the specification to see if there is a

definition for a claim term, and if not, will apply the broadest reasonable ordinary

meaning from the perspective of a person of ordinary skill in the art. However, I

Exhibit 100200012

Page 13: UNITED STATES PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE BEFORE THE … · 2017-05-25 · Continental Automotive, Siemens, LG, General Dynamics Corporation, ... Compound (IMC) layers at the interfaces

Exhibit 1002

13

also understand that if a term has no accepted meaning to those of ordinary skill in

the prior art, its meaning, then, must be found in the patent. I present a more

detailed explanation of certain of the terms in the ‘001 patent in the section entitled

“Detailed Explanation of Claim Terms” below.

E. Relevant Time Period For Analysis

18. I understand that the earliest patent application filing leading to U.S.

Pat. No. 6,954,001 (“the ‘001 patent") (Ex. 1001) was a Japanese application filed

on December 20, 2001, and I have assumed this is the ‘001 patent’s alleged

invention date. I have therefore analyzed the unpatentability of the claims as of

that day or somewhat before (approximately 2000 – December 20, 2001),

understanding that as time passes; the knowledge of a person of ordinary skill in

the art will increase. I may refer to the relevant time period as 2000-2001 in this

declaration, with the understanding that this does not include the time period on or

after the filing date of the first application (December 20, 2001).

F. Bases For My Opinion

19. In forming my opinion, I have relied on the ‘001 patent claims, the

‘001 patent specification, the written record with the U.S. patent office for the ‘001

patent and the ‘001 patent’s related “parent application,” the exhibits to the Petition

for inter partes review of the ‘001 patent, and my own experience and expertise of

Exhibit 100200013

Page 14: UNITED STATES PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE BEFORE THE … · 2017-05-25 · Continental Automotive, Siemens, LG, General Dynamics Corporation, ... Compound (IMC) layers at the interfaces

Exhibit 1002

14

the knowledge of the person of ordinary skill in the relevant art in the 2000-2001

timeframe as set forth in more detail below.

G. Level Of Ordinary Skill In The Art In The Relevant Timeframe

20. The relevant time for assessing the level of skill of the hypothetical

person of ordinary skill in the art is the December 20, 2001, filing date of the

Japanese application, to which I understand the ‘001 patent ultimately claims a

benefit for its date of alleged invention. To assess the level of ordinary skill in the

art at that time, I understand that one should consider factors such as: (1) the

educational level of the inventor; (2) the type of problems encountered in the art;

(3) prior art solutions to those problems; (4) the rapidity with which innovations

are made; (5) the sophistication of the technology; and (6) the educational level of

active workers in the field.

21. Considering all of these factors, it is my opinion that one of ordinary

skill in the art of the ‘001 patent prior to December 20, 2001, would have been a

person having at least: i) a bachelor-level degree in mechanical engineering,

materials science, electrical engineering, or a related field and at least 3-5 years of

experience in the design/development of semiconductor packages; ii) a Master’s

level degree in mechanical engineering, materials science, electrical engineering,

or a related field and at least 1-3 years of experience in the design/development of

Exhibit 100200014

Page 15: UNITED STATES PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE BEFORE THE … · 2017-05-25 · Continental Automotive, Siemens, LG, General Dynamics Corporation, ... Compound (IMC) layers at the interfaces

Exhibit 1002

15

semiconductor packages, or iii) a PhD-level degree in mechanical engineering,

materials science, electrical engineering, or a related field and at least some

experience in the area of semiconductor packaging.

22. I base the foregoing on my own experience as an educator at Auburn

University, where certain of my former students in the relevant 2000-2001 time-

frame were involved in the design and development of semiconductor packages

and associated technology. Further, I have been a frequent attendee at conferences

and conventions, including several within or immediately before the relevant 2000-

2001 time-frame, at which I interacted with engineers working in the industry.

Some examples include the 1999, 2000, and 2001 IEEE Electronic Components

and Technology Conferences, the 1999 and 2001 ASME InterPACK Conferences,

the 1999 IMAPS annual conference, the 2000 NEPCON West Conference and

Exhibition, and the 2001 SMTA Surface Mount International Conference.

23. Along those lines, I have identified Ex. 1003 (Lau, J. H., “Integrated

Circuit Packaging Trends,” Chapter 1, Low Cost Flip Chip Technologies for DCA,

WLCSP, and PBGA Assemblies, 2000), which demonstrates the high speed of

semiconductor package development in the relevant 2000-2001 time frame, as well

as the continuously occurring reduction of semiconductor package footprint. This

demonstrates that with the above-noted average skill in the art, engineers were able

Exhibit 100200015

Page 16: UNITED STATES PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE BEFORE THE … · 2017-05-25 · Continental Automotive, Siemens, LG, General Dynamics Corporation, ... Compound (IMC) layers at the interfaces

Exhibit 1002

16

to quickly make improvements and were well versed in the technology and the

various design choices available to them. For example, a person of ordinary skill

in the art at the time of the alleged invention of the ‘001 patent would have had

been generally familiar with the copper redistribution wiring and interconnect

structures used in the latest flip chip and WLCSP technologies in the relevant

2000-2001 time frame as discussed in sections 1.2.4, 1.3.1, and 1.3.6 in Chapter 1

(Ex. 1003) of the Lau reference book published in the year 2000.

24. My statements in this declaration are given from the perspective of a

person of ordinary skill in the art at the time of the December 2001 filing, and for

some time before then, unless otherwise specifically indicated. This is true even if

my statements are given in the present tense.

III. Introduction To The ‘001 patent

A. Content of the ‘001 patent

25. As explained in its “Background of the Invention” section, the ‘001

patent “relates to a semiconductor device in which a metal wiring is formed so as

to be electrically connected to an electrode of a semiconductor element and a part

of the metal wiring is used as an external electrode, and method of manufacturing

the same. More particularly, the present invention relates to a semiconductor

device having excellent junction reliability between a metal wiring and a ball

Exhibit 100200016

Page 17: UNITED STATES PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE BEFORE THE … · 2017-05-25 · Continental Automotive, Siemens, LG, General Dynamics Corporation, ... Compound (IMC) layers at the interfaces

Exhibit 1002

17

electrode mounted to an external electrode portion of the metal wiring.” (Ex. 1001,

1:8-17.) Put simply, the ‘001 Patent relates to wiring of a semiconductor element,

where the wiring is connected to an external electrode allowing connection of the

internal circuitry to the outside world, through a solder ball, as an example. The

‘001 patent includes a number of examples, which are discussed below.

26. The first example of the ‘001 Patent’s “semiconductor device” is

shown in Fig. 2. Fig. 2 shows an electrode 12 on a semiconductor element 11,

wiring 14 connected to the electrode 12, an external electrode portion 14a, an

insulating film 15 formed on wiring 14 with an opening to expose the external

electrode portion 14a, and a solder ball electrode 16 connected to the external

electrode portion 14a through the opening. (See Ex. 1001, 8:12-38.) The ‘001

patent explains that the external electrode portion 14a shown in Fig. 2 is the

portion of the wiring 14 connected to solder ball electrode 16, including the

“metal-material embedded portion” formed in the opening of the insulating film

15. (See Id. at 8:23-26 (“The insulating film 15 has openings in order to expose a

portion of each metal wiring 14 which functions as an external electrode

(hereinafter, referred to as ‘external electrode portion 14a’)”); 8:51-55 (“the

thickness of the external electrode portion 14a is equal to the total thickness of the

metal wiring 14 and the portion filled with the metal material (hereinafter, referred

to as ‘metal-material embedded portion’)”.)

Exhibit 100200017

Page 18: UNITED STATES PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE BEFORE THE … · 2017-05-25 · Continental Automotive, Siemens, LG, General Dynamics Corporation, ... Compound (IMC) layers at the interfaces

Exhibit 1002

18

27. The wiring 14, including its external electrode portion 14a, is

described as containing Copper (Cu). (Id. at 8:43-50.) The solder ball electrode 16

is described as containing Tin (Sn). (Id. at 8:64-65.) The ‘001 patent further

explains that when the wiring portions (14 and 14a) contain Cu, and the solder ball

electrode 16 contains Sn, a Sn-Cu alloy layer is formed. (Id. at 8:63-9:1 (“Sn

contained in solder of the ball electrode 16 diffuses into Cu contained in the metal

wiring 14, whereby a Sn—Cu alloy layer having low strength grows in the

thickness direction of the external electrode portion 14a”).) 1 The ‘001 patent also

explains how the electrodes 12 of the semiconductor element in Fig. 2 are

connected to a substrate (e.g. to a printed circuit board) (not shown in the figure) as

follows: “The electrodes 12 of the semiconductor element 11 and the wiring

electrodes of the substrate are thus respectively connected to each other through

the metal wirings 14 and the ball electrodes 16.” (Id. at 8:35-38.)

28. In addition, the insulating film 15 shown in Fig. 2 is described as

“flush” or “equal” with the exposed surface of the external electrode 14a, which

the ‘001 patent explains means “approximately flush” or “approximately equal.”

(See Id. at 10:22-29.) The insulating film 15 is described as “a resin film formed

from solder resist or the like” (Id. at 8:25-26), which makes logical sense given its

otherwise.

location adjacent to solder ball electrode 16 which is connected to external

electrode 14a.

29. A second example is shown in Fig. 5, and adds an insulating resin

layer 17 to the first example. (Id. at 11:54-57.) The added insulating resin layer 17

is formed between the wiring 14 and the semiconductor element 11. (Id. at 12:16-

22.) The ‘001 patent explains the insulating resin layer 17 may be formed of an

“epoxy resin having low elasticity or the like,” which the ‘001 patent states can

result in the following effects:

“when the temperature is varied to melt the ball electrodes 16 in the

process of mounting the semiconductor device to the substrate,

stresses are generated due to the difference in thermal expansion

coefficient between the semiconductor device and the substrate.

However, these stresses can be absorbed by the insulating resin

layer 17. As a result, the stresses are reduced, whereby the external

electrode portion 14a of the metal wiring 14 to which the ball

electrode 16 is connected can be prevented from being broken by the

stresses.” (Id. at 12:16-36.)

30. Fig. 8B shows a third example, which differs from the first example in

the composition of its wiring 14 and “metal-material embedded portion” 18A –

where the wiring 14 is described as a combination of Titanium Tungsten (TiW)

and Cu (Id. at 14:28-31), and the “metal-material embedded portion” 18A is

Exhibit 100200019

Page 20: UNITED STATES PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE BEFORE THE … · 2017-05-25 · Continental Automotive, Siemens, LG, General Dynamics Corporation, ... Compound (IMC) layers at the interfaces

Exhibit 1002

20

described as a combination Titanium (Ti) and Cu (Id. at 14:53-54). The portion of

the wiring 14, including “metal-material embedded portion” 18A, connected to

solder ball electrode 16 is described as the external electrode portion in the third

example. (Id. at 15:39-46.) Similar to the second example, the ‘001 patent

suggests an insulating resin layer can be used with its third example. (See Id. at

17:44-58.)

31. The ‘001 patent includes additional examples in its Figs. 10C, 12C,

and 13D, which are similar to the other examples, but with different wiring and

“metal-material embedded portion” materials. Notably, in all of these additional

examples, just like all of the others in the ‘001 patent, the portion of the wiring 14,

including the “metal-material embedded portion” (or portions), connected to a

solder ball electrode is described as the external electrode portion. (See Id. at 19:4-

10 (regarding Fig. 10C); 21:31-34 (regarding Fig. 12C); 24:65-25:4 (regarding Fig.

13D).)

32. Along those lines, I also noted in my review of the ‘001 patent that

where a thickness is defined, it is always in connection with the wiring, the “metal-

material embedded portion”, or together as the external electrode portion, and

never with respect to an intermetallic layer. (See Id. at 4:21-22 (thickness of

external electrode portion of “10μm to 20μm”); 8:39-42 (thickness of external

Exhibit 100200020

Page 21: UNITED STATES PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE BEFORE THE … · 2017-05-25 · Continental Automotive, Siemens, LG, General Dynamics Corporation, ... Compound (IMC) layers at the interfaces

Exhibit 1002

21

electrode portion of 14μm); 9:25-35 (thickness of wiring is preferably in the range

of 0.01 μm to 8 μm); 9:36-10:14 (thickness of external electrode portion of “10μm

to 20μm” and other specific thicknesses); 18:32-34 (thickness of wiring of 5 μm);

20:14-17 (thickness of external electrode of “10μm to 20μm”); 23:34-40 (thickness

of external electrode of “10μm to 20μm”); 24:26-27 (thickness of a “metal-

material embedded portion of 20 μm”).) I also note that the claim term “diffusion

layer” does not appear in the specification.

33. In view of that, one of skill in the art would have difficulty discerning

the boundaries of claim 10, which claims the “combined thickness” of the “first

electrode portion” and the “diffusion layer,” as explained in more detail below.

B. Written Record At the Patent Office

34. My understanding is that the ‘001 patent issued from a U.S.

application with serial no. 10/919,402 (“the ‘402 application”), filed Aug. 17,

2004. My further understanding is that the ‘402 application is related to another

earlier U.S. application with serial no. 10/307,450 (“the ‘450 application”), filed

Dec. 2, 2002, that includes the same specification.

35. To further inform myself as to the content of the ‘001 patent, I

reviewed the written record between the applicants and the U.S. patent office in

both the ‘402 and ‘450 applications. Of particular interest was what was said about

Exhibit 100200021

Page 22: UNITED STATES PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE BEFORE THE … · 2017-05-25 · Continental Automotive, Siemens, LG, General Dynamics Corporation, ... Compound (IMC) layers at the interfaces

Exhibit 1002

22

the limitation of claim 10 of “said first electrode portion and said diffusion layer

have a combined thickness in the range of 10 m to 20 m,” since the ‘001 patent

is silent on any thickness of a “diffusion layer,” as noted above, and instead only

discusses thicknesses of the wiring and the external electrode portion (i.e., “first

electrode portion”).

36. In reviewing the written record of the ‘402 application, it only had one

office action where the Examiner rejected the claims. (See Ex. 1004 at pp. 90-100.)

The applicants made two arguments in response to that office action, neither of

which are factually correct in my opinion.

37. First, with respect to what ultimately issued as independent claim 1,

the applicants argued that the Mune prior art cited by the Examiner, provided as

Ex. 1005, is “completely silent as to the materials of the outer electrodes 31 and

solder ball 26, let alone suggest [sic] a diffusion layer comprising their respective

metal component [sic].” (See Ex. 1004, at p. 82.) That is factually incorrect, in my

opinion, as Mune states its outer electrodes 31 are preferably made of Copper (Cu)

(Ex. 1005, ¶ [0044]), and Mune refers to solder balls 26 which one of skill would

have appreciated is a reference to at least a Tin (Sn)-based solder. As noted in the

section I provide below on the details of microelectronics soldering, one of skill in

the art would have appreciated that when you have an interface of Copper (Cu)

Exhibit 100200022

Page 23: UNITED STATES PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE BEFORE THE … · 2017-05-25 · Continental Automotive, Siemens, LG, General Dynamics Corporation, ... Compound (IMC) layers at the interfaces

Exhibit 1002

23

with a Tin (Sn)-based solder ball, you will have an intermetallic Sn-Cu alloy layer,

which the applicants argued is the “diffusion layer” claimed in the ‘001 patent.

(See Ex. 1004, at p. 82 (“a diffusion layer (e.g. Sn-Cu alloy layer)”).)

38. The second argument the applicants made was in connection with the

limitation of claim 10 of “said first electrode portion and said diffusion layer have

a combined thickness in the range of 10 m to 20 m.” (See Id. at 83-84.) That

argument is interesting as it focuses on what I noted before, in that it only refers to

the portions of the ‘001 patent’s specification relating to any range of “10 m to 20

m”, which are the portions describing the external electrode portion (i.e., the “first

electrode portion.” (See Id (“As discussed in detail on page 16, line 10 – page 17,

line 15 of Applicants’ specification, Applicants have discovered that an electrode

thickness less than 10 m is susceptible to being disconnected while a thickness of

more than 20 m can lead to greater pattern deformation…. Only Applicants’ have

discovered the dual benefits set at both ranges for the electrode thickness”).) In

my view, the arguments made by the applicants do not apply to the claimed

feature, which is a “combined thickness” of both the “first electrode portion” and

the “diffusion layer,” as the specification only talks about one portion of that

equation, and there are a variety of different variables that dictate the thickness of

any “diffusion layer.” As I explained before, there is nothing in the ‘001 patent

regarding the thickness of any “diffusion layer.” So, the written record with the

Exhibit 100200023

Page 24: UNITED STATES PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE BEFORE THE … · 2017-05-25 · Continental Automotive, Siemens, LG, General Dynamics Corporation, ... Compound (IMC) layers at the interfaces

Exhibit 1002

24

patent office confirms my initial conclusion based on review of the ‘001 patent

itself, that one of skill in the art would have difficulty discerning the boundaries of

claim 10.

39. I also found the source of the claim 10 limitation enlightening, as it

was not part of the original set of claims that were filed in the earlier ‘450

application, and only first appeared in response to a first office action from the

Examiner rejecting the claims. (Ex. 1006, pp. 216-219 (original claims); p. 29

(claim 23).) My understanding is that the applicants ultimately did not pursue that

claim in the ‘450 application. (See Ex. 1006, at 14-17 (restriction requirement), and

13 (election without claim 23).) However, the ‘450 application as the older

application actually included a claim specific to the thickness of a “first electrode

portion”, and the applicants made similar arguments as discussed above with

respect to the external electrode discussion in specification. (Id. at 27 (claim 14 –

“wherein said first electrode portion has a thickness in the range of 10 μm to 20

μm”) and at 31-33 (applicants’ argument) (“One of the features of the present

invention resides in that an electrode portion has a thickness in the range of 10 m

to 20 m”) (emphasis added).) Here, those arguments made at least some logical

sense, as the discussion in the common specification related to at least the claim

specific to the “first electrode portion” thickness, and the claim did not include any

“diffusion layer” language. By contrast, the same cannot be said of the same

Exhibit 100200024

Page 25: UNITED STATES PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE BEFORE THE … · 2017-05-25 · Continental Automotive, Siemens, LG, General Dynamics Corporation, ... Compound (IMC) layers at the interfaces

Exhibit 1002

25

arguments that were made with respect what ultimately issued as the limitation of

claim 10, relating to the “combined thickness,” which further highlights that one of

skill in the art would have difficulty discerning the boundaries of that claim, as

discussed below.

C. Background of WLCSP Technology at the Time of the ‘001 Patent

40. The approaches described in the ‘001 patent are examples of Wafer

Level Chip Scale Package (WLCSP) technologies. As described by Lau in his

reference book from the year 2000 (Ex. 1003, Section 1.3.6), WLCSPs typically

feature the use of metal layers (wiring) to redistribute fine pitch peripheral

pads/contacts on the semiconductor chip to larger area-array pads attached to

solder balls (external electrodes). These solder balls are subsequently used to form

solder joints that connect the WLCSP to a printer circuit board (PCB).

41. WLCSP technologies were first developed in the 1990s, and

numerous variations were available and publically disclosed by the year 2000

(before the filing of the ‘001 patent) as explained by Lau (Ex. 1007) (Lau, J. H.,

“Wafer Level Packaging,” Chapter 10, Low Cost Flip Chip Technologies for DCA,

WLCSP, and PBGA Assemblies, 2000). As illustrated with several examples in

Ex. 1007 (e.g. Figures 10.2, 10.3, 10.4, 10.8, 10.20, 10.25, 10.49), several WLCSP

technologies were already in existence in the year 2000 that involved

Exhibit 100200025

Page 26: UNITED STATES PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE BEFORE THE … · 2017-05-25 · Continental Automotive, Siemens, LG, General Dynamics Corporation, ... Compound (IMC) layers at the interfaces

Exhibit 1002

26

semiconductor chips that were processed to include thin passivation films,

redistribution layers (RDLs), copper wiring (traces), insulating films, encapsulant

(resin) layers, copper plugs/pillars, and Sn-based solder balls, which are all

elements discussed in the technology of the ‘001 patent.

42. As illustrated by the figures below, additional examples of WLCSP

configurations similar to those illustrated in Figure 2 of the ‘001 patent were given

in 1999, e.g. (Figure 30.1 from Ex. 1008, Lau, J. H. and Lee, S. W. R. “EPIC’s

Chip Scale Package,” Chapter 30, Chip Scale Package Design, Materials. Process,

Reliability, and Applications, 1999) and (Figure 32.1 from Ex. 1009, Lau, J. H.

and Lee, S. W. R. “Fujitsu’s SuperCSP (SCSP),” Chapter 32, Chip Scale Package

Design, Materials. Process, Reliability, and Applications, 1999).

Exhibit 100200026

Exhibit 1002

27

43. Another common feature in many WLCSP technologies is the use of

an Under Bump Metallization (UBM), which typically consisted of 1-3 thin layers

of metal used as intermediate layers when connecting one conducting metal

element to another (e.g connecting copper wiring to the aluminum bond pads on a

semiconductor chip, or connecting Sn-based solders to aluminum bond pads on a

semiconductor chip). Typical purposes of the UBM layers included improving

adhesion/bonding and/or establishing a diffusion barrier to prevent undesirable

chemical reactions. In all cases, the use of an UBM had the purpose to improve

the reliability of the WLCSP when exposed to elevated temperatures or thermal

cycling.

D. Background on Soldering at the Time of the ‘001 Patent

44. Soldering and the use of solder balls/bumps as the external

interconnects for WLCSPs were well established at the time of the Dec 2001 filing

of the ‘001 patent related Japanese application (e.g., Ex. 1007, Lau, J. H., “Wafer

Exhibit 100200027

Page 28: UNITED STATES PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE BEFORE THE … · 2017-05-25 · Continental Automotive, Siemens, LG, General Dynamics Corporation, ... Compound (IMC) layers at the interfaces

Exhibit 1002

28

Level Packaging,” Chapter 10, Low Cost Flip Chip Technologies for DCA,

WLCSP, and PBGA Assemblies, 2000). When Sn-based solders are reflowed

directly to copper surfaces, Sn-Cu Intermetallic Compound (IMC) layers form at

the interface between the remaining copper and Sn-based material.

45. The presence and growth of IMC layers has been well understood in

the field semiconductor packaging for at least forty years, e.g. (Ex. 1010,

Zakraysek, “Intermetallic Growth in Tin-Rich Solders,” pp. 536s-541s, Welding

Research Supplement, 1972). It was also well known that IMC/diffusion layers

between Cu and Sn-based materials will be irregular with a non-constant thickness,

(see Id. at p. 539s), and that the chemical composition of the two primary Cu-Sn

compounds making up the IMC layers are Cu6Sn5 and Cu3Sn (see Id. at p. 538s

and p. 541s). The Zakraysek publication also lists typical thicknesses of IMC

layers developed by short term and long term thermal exposures (see Id. at Table 2,

p. 539s). For temperature levels at or less than 125 oC, typical IMC layer

thicknesses were in the range of 1.0 to 2.7 μm for short term exposures up to 8

hours, and from 1.0 to 6.5 μm for long term thermal exposures up to 32 days.

IV. Detailed Explanation Of Claim Terms

46. As noted above, I understand that claims in an inter partes review are

given their broadest reasonable interpretation that is consistent with the patent

Exhibit 100200028

Page 29: UNITED STATES PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE BEFORE THE … · 2017-05-25 · Continental Automotive, Siemens, LG, General Dynamics Corporation, ... Compound (IMC) layers at the interfaces

Exhibit 1002

29

specification, and the understanding of one of skill in the art (as I defined above).

In this regard, counsel asked me to provide certain information to assist in

determining the legal scope of certain of the ‘001 patent’s terms, which I provide

below. In the absence of a specific further explanation in this declaration of any

term found in any of claims 1-18, I presumed the term to take on its broadest

ordinary meaning to a person of ordinary skill in the art.

A. “electrode” (claims 1-18)

47. As a matter of clarification, it is my opinion that the term “electrode”

to one of skill in the art at the time of the ‘001 patent, would mean “a conductor

used to establish electrical contact with a nonmetallic portion of a circuit.” (Ex.

1011 at page 4.) In the context of the ‘001 patent, the nonmetallic portion of the

electrical circuit is the semiconductor element itself, and each of the three

"electrodes" are used to establish contact with the semiconductor element in the

claims. Nothing in the specification would change my understanding of that term,

and I apply this understanding of that claim term in my analysis below.

B. “electrode portion” (claims 1-18)

48. As distinct from “electrode,” the ‘001 patent claims also refer to a

number of “electrode portions” (first, second, and third “electrode portions”).

Here again, as a matter of clarification, one of skill in the art at the time of the ‘001

Exhibit 100200029

Page 30: UNITED STATES PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE BEFORE THE … · 2017-05-25 · Continental Automotive, Siemens, LG, General Dynamics Corporation, ... Compound (IMC) layers at the interfaces

Exhibit 1002

30

patent would consider this term to refer to any portion of a first, second, or third

electrode, or all of it. The ‘001 patent confirms this, as its specification

consistently refers to its wiring 14, including the “metal-material embedded

portion” (or portions), connected to a solder ball electrode, as an external electrode

portion which is claimed in the ‘001 patent as a “first electrode portion.” I apply

this understanding of that claim term in my analysis below.

C. “metal component” (claims 1-18)

49. As a matter of clarification, it is my opinion that the term “metal

component” would have been understood by one of skill in the art at the time of

the ‘001 patent to mean “an element of the periodic table considered a metal.”

Nothing in the specification would change my understanding of that term, and I

apply this understanding of that claim term in my analysis below.

D. “diffusion layer formed between said first electrode portion and said second electrode portion” (claims 1-18)

50. In the context of the ‘001 patent, a “diffusion layer” refers to an

intermetallic layer formed between two metals. As used in the claims, it is an

intermetallic layer formed between the first electrode portion and the second

electrode portion, which are comprised of first and second metal components,

respectively.

Exhibit 100200030

Page 31: UNITED STATES PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE BEFORE THE … · 2017-05-25 · Continental Automotive, Siemens, LG, General Dynamics Corporation, ... Compound (IMC) layers at the interfaces

Exhibit 1002

31

51. The ‘001 patent provides an example of an intermetallic compound

that constitutes a “diffusion layer” in the context of Tin(Sn)-containing solder that

is applied to an electrode that contains copper (Cu). (Ex. 1001, 8:63-9:1 (“Sn

contained in solder of the ball electrode 16 diffuses into Cu contained in the metal

wiring 14, whereby a Sn—Cu alloy layer having low strength grows in the

thickness direction of the external electrode portion 14a”).) As set forth above, Sn-

Pb solder, as a Tin(Sn)-containing solder, was previously used widely in the

microelectronics industry, but more recently has been largely replaced by various

lead free solders. It was commonly known and understood that intermetallic

compounds are formed when molten Sn-Pb solder is applied to and reacts with a

surface containing Cu. The reaction results in Sn-Cu compounds at the interface of

the remaining Sn-based solder and copper materials.

52. In view of the foregoing, counsel has informed me that if an

appropriate “broadest reasonable interpretation” can be applied to “diffusion

layer,” it would be “an intermetallic compound formed between said first electrode

portion and said second electrode portion.” I apply this understanding of that

claim term in my analysis below.

Exhibit 100200031

Page 32: UNITED STATES PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE BEFORE THE … · 2017-05-25 · Continental Automotive, Siemens, LG, General Dynamics Corporation, ... Compound (IMC) layers at the interfaces

Exhibit 1002

32

E. “said first electrode portion and said diffusion layer have a combined thickness in the range of 10 m to 20 m” (claims 10-18)

53. The ‘001 patent only describes intermetallic compound formation in

the direction of its external electrode (i.e., its first electrode portion), and there is

no discussion of such intermetallic formation in the solder ball electrode (i.e.,

second electrode portion), even though a person of skill in the art would

understand that intermetallic compounds would also form in the solder ball. (See

e.g., Ex. 1001, 8:63-9:1.) With that in mind, it would be unclear to one of skill in

the art where the “diffusion layer” actually starts and ends, which is significant

when attempting to identify the “combined thickness” that is claimed.

54. Along the same lines, as discussed extensively in the background

section I provided, the ‘001 patent offers no discussion of the claimed “combined

thickness,” and instead all of its discussion of thicknesses in the range of “10 m to

20 m” are solely to the external electrode portion (i.e., “first electrode portion”).

(See e.g., Ex. 1001, 4:19-20 (“Preferably, the thickness of the external electrode

portion is in the range of “10 m to 20 m”), 8:39-42, 9:36-40, and 20:14-17).)

There is no discussion of the thickness of the “diffusion layer” anywhere in the

‘001 patent, except for in claim 10 itself.

55. Further, as discussed above in the background I have provided, the

intermetallic layers themselves are irregular in all dimensions, and have non-

Exhibit 100200032

Page 33: UNITED STATES PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE BEFORE THE … · 2017-05-25 · Continental Automotive, Siemens, LG, General Dynamics Corporation, ... Compound (IMC) layers at the interfaces

Exhibit 1002

33

uniform thickness. So, one of skill in the art would have to guess what was meant

by “combined thickness” when considering the intermetallic.

56. Accordingly, if an appropriate “broadest reasonable interpretation”

can be applied here, it would be “said first electrode portion and said diffusion

layer have a combined thickness in the range of 10 m to 20 m, measuring the

maximum and minimum thickness.” I apply this understanding of that claim term

in my analysis below.

F. “flush with or higher than a surface of the insulating film” (claims 5 and 14)

57. The ‘001 patent itself offers an explanation of what is meant by the

term “flush with” in stating that “in the specification, the term ‘flush’ also includes

‘approximately flush.’” (Ex. 1001, 10:24-25.) In addition, the ‘001 patent explains

that its “insulating film” may be a solder resist. (See e.g., Ex. 1001, 11:65-67.)

One of skill in the art would have appreciated that solder resist is typically formed

slightly higher than the pad onto which a solder ball is intended to be attached, to

assist in directing that solder ball material to the pad prior to reflow. (See e.g., Ex.

1007 at Fig. 10.20 (at right side of Fig. 10.20 noting “10 μm MIN (over copper)”

where copper refers to the pad).

Exhibit 100200033

Exhibit 1002

34

58. In view of the foregoing, counsel has informed me that a “broadest

reasonable interpretation” of this term would be “approximately flush with or

higher than a surface of the insulating film.” I apply this understanding of that

claim term in my analysis below.

G. Preamble of Independent Claims 1 and 10

59. I am informed that interpretation of the “preamble” or introductory

phrase of a “semiconductor device” of independent claims 1 or 10 is a legal issue

that depends on whether it would be considered a limitation of the claims.

However, because all of the prior art I have analyzed shows the feature of the

common “preamble,” this issue has no ultimate effect on my analysis presented

below

V. Analysis of the Prior Art

60. Below, I provide my analysis of the prior art against claims 1-18 of

the ‘001 patent. All emphasis is added to quotations, unless stated otherwise.

A. PCT Publication No. WO00/52755 (“Narizuka”)

61. Narizuka is provided as Ex. 1012, which includes a translation of that

publication from Japanese to English. References below are to the English

translation. The corresponding U.S. Patent (‘372 patent) is provided as Ex. 1013.

Exhibit 1002

35

62. Narizuka describes a semiconductor device with a semiconductor

element that includes an electrode connected to a solder ball through an offset

wiring configuration. In particular, Narizuka states: “Next, as shown in FIG. 4, a

connection structure between a wiring and a solder, which is one example of

embodiment of a semiconductor device according to the present invention will be

described. Assume that the substrate 11 is a Si wafer, the insulating layer 15 is a

polyimide layer, the wiring 13 consists of three layers of Cr thin film layer 13b

(about 0.1 m in thickness), a Cu layer 13 a, and a Cr thin film layer 13c (about

0.05 m), the protective film 16 is a polyimide film, and the solder is a Pb-free Sn-

3Ag type solder.” (Ex. 1012, 12:6-10.) Fig. 4 is provided below.

63. Fig. 3(d) shows another view of Narizuka’s wiring and solder ball

configuration, which is provided below.

Exhibit 1002

64. Narizuka also describes a “diffusion layer” in the form of a Sn-Cu

intermetallic compound: “the connection can basically be achieved by the alloy

17a of Sn and Cu (Sn-Cu intermetallic compound), and the solder can reach the

under layer 13b of Cr or Ti and the solder can connect to the under layer 13b of Cr

or Ti, thereby the connection strength and reliability can be secured.” (Ex. 1012,

11:18-12:2.) The intermetallic compound of Narizuka is illustrated in Fig. 1,

which is provided below.

65. It is my opinion that Narizuka alone describes the content of each of

claims 1-18. Below, I explain the correlation between aspects of Narizuka and

those claims of the ‘001 patent.

1. Narizuka: Independent Claim 1

66. Independent claim 1 includes four parts (designated (a) through (d))

and a “preamble,” and I address each of those parts in turn below.

(1) Claim 1: Preamble: (A semiconductor device)

67. Narizuka describes and illustrates a “semiconductor device,” by way

of Fig. 4 and its accompanying explanation. (Ex. 1012, 12:6-10 (“Next, as shown

in FIG. 4, a connection structure between a wiring and a solder, which is one

example of embodiment of a semiconductor device according to the present

invention will be described. Assume that the substrate 11 is a Si wafer, the

insulating layer 15 is a polyimide layer, the wiring 13 consists of three layers of Cr

thin film layer 13b (about 0.1 m in thickness), a Cu layer 13 a, and a Cr thin film

layer 13c (about 0.05 m), the protective film 16 is a polyimide film, and the

solder is a Pb-free Sn-3Ag type solder”.) Narizuka also explains that its

description and figures are in relation to both a wiring board and a semiconductor

38

device, so its descriptions are all applicable to a semiconductor device such as the

one shown in Fig. 4. (See Ex. 1012, 6:18-19.)

(2) Claim 1: Element (a): (a semiconductor element)

68. The semiconductor device of Narizuka includes a “semiconductor

element” as Si wafer 11. (Ex. 1012, 12:6-10 (quoted above).) An annotated

version of Fig. 4 is provided below identifying the semiconductor element.

(3) Claim 1: Element (b): (a first electrode portion formed on the semiconductor element, said first electrode portion comprising a first metal component)

69. The semiconductor device of Narizuka also includes a “first electrode

portion” formed on its semiconductor element that is made of a “first metal

component,” in two different configurations. To show the first configuration,

Exhibit 100200038

Page 39: UNITED STATES PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE BEFORE THE … · 2017-05-25 · Continental Automotive, Siemens, LG, General Dynamics Corporation, ... Compound (IMC) layers at the interfaces

Exhibit 1002

39

annotated versions of Figs. 1 and 3(d)2 are provided below highlighting its “first

electrode portion.”

2 Notably, there is an error in Figs. 3(c) and 3(d) of Ex. 1012 insofar as the

last portion of the wiring, Cr portion 13c, is drawn, even though the specification

makes clear that portion of the wiring is removed so the solder ball 17 contacts Cu

portion 13a. When the last Cr layer 13c is removed, it allows the Sn-containing

solder ball 17 to contact the Cu layer 13a. (See Ex. 1012, 10:19-20 (“…the upper

layer of the Cr film 13c is removed only for the portion of the opening 19 of the

protective film 16 to expose the Cu layer 13a.”); see also 5:11-14.) The error was

fixed in the corresponding U.S. Patent. (See Ex. 1013 at 3(c) and 3(d)).

Exhibit 100200039

Page 40: UNITED STATES PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE BEFORE THE … · 2017-05-25 · Continental Automotive, Siemens, LG, General Dynamics Corporation, ... Compound (IMC) layers at the interfaces

Exhibit 1002

40

70. In this first configuration, Narizuka’s first electrode portion is the

portion of its wiring 13 (13a and 13b) that is located under the solder ball (second

electrode portion). As stated by Narizuka: “Next, as shown in FIG. 4, a connection

structure between a wiring and a solder, which is one example of embodiment of

a semiconductor device according to the present invention will be described.

Assume that the substrate 11 is a Si wafer, the insulating layer 15 is a polyimide

layer, the wiring 13 consists of three layers of Cr thin film layer 13b (about 0.1

m in thickness), a Cu layer 13 a, and a Cr thin film layer 13c (about 0.05 m),

the protective film 16 is a polyimide film, and the solder is a Pb-free Sn-3Ag type

solder.” (Ex. 1012, 12:6-11; see also 5:12-14 (discussing exposing outer Cu

portion for connection to solder ball 17), and 8:14-17 (discussing Cr or Ti for layer

13b.). So, the Cr/Cu or Ti/Cu (13b and 13a) portion of Narizuka’s wiring where

the outer layer of Cu is exposed for connection to solder ball 17 is its “first

electrode portion.”

Exhibit 100200040

Page 41: UNITED STATES PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE BEFORE THE … · 2017-05-25 · Continental Automotive, Siemens, LG, General Dynamics Corporation, ... Compound (IMC) layers at the interfaces

Exhibit 1002

41

71. Narizuka explains that its Cr/Cu or Ti/Cu wiring portion is considered

a type of “UBM” or “Under Bump Metal,” at the portion of the wiring where the

solder ball is attached to the Cu. (Ex. 1012, 12:12-13 (“…as shown by the

sectional structure of a UBM (under bump metal) end, the solder diffuses

through the Cu layer and reaches the Cr (Ti) layer 13b”).) Thus, in addition to the

configuration shown in Figs. 1 and 3(d), Narizuka also includes a configuration

where its “UBM” (Cr/Cu or Ti/Cu) can be placed atop an existing wire as an

electrode. As explained by Narizuka: “Although the case where the solder 17 is

directly connected to the wiring 13 connected to the electrode 12 in the above-

mentioned embodiment has been described, another wiring layer that connects

between the electrode 12 and the wiring 13 may also be provided. In this case, the

wiring 13 is formed in the form of an electrode. However, providing another

wiring layer increases the process for that portion.” (Ex. 1012, 14:11-14.) Fig. 8

shows in-part what Narizuka describes where its Cr/Cu or Ti/Cu “UBM” is placed

atop an existing wire for connection to a solder ball, as reproduced below (portion

of Fig. 8).

Exhibit 100200041

Page 42: UNITED STATES PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE BEFORE THE … · 2017-05-25 · Continental Automotive, Siemens, LG, General Dynamics Corporation, ... Compound (IMC) layers at the interfaces

Exhibit 1002

42

72. Here, the illustration in Fig. 8 is for “when an electrode 12 is formed

in advance on a substrate in an arrangement suitable for its connection, it is not

necessary to form a wiring 13” (Ex. 1012, 14:16-17), and not the offset

arrangement referred to in the passage above, which is why I stated Fig. 8 only

shows in-part what Narizuka describes where its Cr/Cu or Ti/Cu “UBM” is placed

atop an existing wire. To further clarify what Narizuka actually explains to one of

skill in the art, I have prepared the following modification of Fig. 3(c), illustrating

what Narizuka is stating by “another wiring layer that connects between the

electrode 12 and the wiring 13 may also be provided. In this case, the wiring 13 is

formed in the form of an electrode.” The modification includes addition of the

Cr/Cu or Ti/Cu “UBM” to the existing wiring along with a solder ball. The “first

electrode portion” in the second configuration is the “UBM” in combination with

the portion of the existing wire underneath the “UBM.” Although not shown in the

Fig. presented below, the last Cr portion of wiring 13c underneath the added

“UBM” would not be present, consistent with Narizuka’s explained existing

process to remove that layer during processing. (See Ex. 1012, 10:19-20 (“…the

upper layer of the Cr film 13c is removed only for the portion of the opening 19 of

the protective film 16 to expose the Cu layer 13a.”).)

Exhibit 100200042

Exhibit 1002

43

73. So, Narizuka describes two different configurations of a “first

electrode portion” including Cu as its “first metal component.” Notably, the

composition of Narizuka’s Cr/Cu/Cr or Ti/Cu/Cr wiring correlates directly with

what the ‘001 patent states about the composition of its wiring. (See e.g., Ex. 1001,

12:57-63 (“Note that, in the second embodiment, the material of the metal wirings

14 is not specifically limited. For example, a material mainly containing Cu, Ti, W,

Cr, Al or the like may be used. Alternatively, another conductive metal material

may be used”).)

Exhibit 1002

44

(4) Claim 1: Element (c): (a second electrode portion formed on the semiconductor element and electrically connected to said first electrode portion, said second electrode portion comprising a second metal component different from said first metal component)

74. In Narizuka, the “second electrode portion” is solder ball 17.

Annotated versions of Fig. 1 and modified Fig. 3(c) (introduced directly above)

show that “second electrode portion” relative to the “first electrode portion,” in

both configurations of Narizuka.

Exhibit 100200044

Page 45: UNITED STATES PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE BEFORE THE … · 2017-05-25 · Continental Automotive, Siemens, LG, General Dynamics Corporation, ... Compound (IMC) layers at the interfaces

Exhibit 1002

45

75. Narizuka explains that its solder ball 17 includes Sn as the “second

metal component.” (See Ex. 1012, 4:7-8 (“The solder for the outer connection of

the wiring board in the present invention is characterized by being formed with a

solder containing Sn.”); see also 10:21-11:2, 12:3-5, and 12:10.)

(5) Claim 1: Element (d): (a diffusion layer formed between said first electrode portion and said second electrode portion, wherein said diffusion layer comprises said first metal component and said second metal component)

76. In Narizuka, a “diffusion layer” (i.e., an intermetallic compound) is

formed between the solder ball 17 and the Cu portion of the wiring (portion 13a).

This diffusion is found in both the first of Narizuka’s configurations where the

solder ball 17 is directly connected to wiring 13, and in the second configuration

where the wiring “UBM” is placed atop to an existing wire as an electrode and the

solder ball 17 is attached to that “UBM” (as discussed above for claim limitation

Exhibit 100200045

Page 46: UNITED STATES PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE BEFORE THE … · 2017-05-25 · Continental Automotive, Siemens, LG, General Dynamics Corporation, ... Compound (IMC) layers at the interfaces

Exhibit 1002

46

1(a)). Fig. 1 of Narizuka shows the formation of the intermetallic compound after

the solder ball 17 is reflowed, and Narizuka explains the intermetallic formation as:

“the connection can basically be achieved by the alloy 17a of Sn and Cu (Sn-Cu

intermetallic compound), and the solder can reach the under layer 13b of Cr or Ti

and the solder can connect to the under layer 13b of Cr or Ti, thereby the

connection strength and reliability can be secured.” (Ex. 1012, 11:18-12:2; see also

Abstract; 5:8-14.) Here, one of skill in the art would have appreciated that at least

some Cu remains in Narizuka’s “first electrode portion” in non-intermetallic form,

even if its solder ball 17 is reflowed to “reach and connect with the under layer 13b

of Cr or Ti.” Indeed, Narizuka explains that during a shorter reflow, where the

solder diffuses through the Cu layer and reaches the Cr (Ti) layer 13b, a portion of

Cu remains. (See Ex. 1012, 12:12-17 (“When the reflow temperature is about

250ºC, and the reflow time is one minute, as shown by the sectional structure of a

UBM (under bump metal) end, the solder diffuses through the Cu layer and

reaches the Cr (Ti) layer 13b, but since the Cu layer still remains, a large amount

of Sn, which is the main component of the solder, can be seen adjacent to the

position that shows the peak of Cr, and on the contrary, only a small amount of Cu

in the Cu layer 13a remains according to EDX (energy dispersive X-ray

spectroscopy) line analysis”).)

2. Narizuka: Dependent Claim 2 (The semiconductor device of claim 1, wherein said first metal component includes copper and said second metal component includes tin)

77. I explained above how Narizuka describes the features of independent

claim 1. As discussed, Narizuka’s wiring, in either configuration as a “first

electrode portion” includes Cu as its “first metal component.” (See Ex. 1012, 12:6-

11; 5:8-14.) As also explained above, Narizuka’s solder ball 17 (i.e., the “second

electrode portion”) includes Sn as its “second metal component.” (See Ex. 1012,

4:7-8 and 12:10.)

3. Narizuka: Dependent Claim 3 (The semiconductor device of claim 1, further comprising a third electrode portion formed on a surface of the semiconductor element and a metal wiring formed on the semiconductor element, said metal wiring electrically connecting the first electrode portion to the third electrode portion)

78. I explained above how Narizuka describes the features of independent

claim 1. In addition, Narizuka includes a “third electrode portion” and “metal

wiring” electrically connecting the first electrode portion to the third electrode

portion as its electrode 12 on the surface of its semiconductor element (Si wafer

11) which is connected to wiring 13. The portion of wiring 13 not included in the

“first electrode portion,” in either of Narizuka’s configurations (solder ball 17

directly on wiring or attached to wiring “electrode” “UBM”), connects electrode

12 (third electrode portion) to the first electrode portion. As stated by Narizuka:

Exhibit 100200047

Exhibit 1002

48

“The solder for the outer connection of the wiring board in the present invention is

configured so as to be directly connected to the wiring layer connected to the

electrode on a substrate.” (Ex. 1012, 4:11-13; see also 5:8-14 (wiring, electrode,

and solder specific to “semiconductor device”), Abstract, and 8:5-11.)

79. Annotated versions of Figs. 1 and 3(d) provided below illustrate

Narizuka’s third electrode portion and metal wiring electrically connecting it to

Narizuka’s first electrode portion, in the first Narizuka configuration where solder

ball 17 is directly connected to the wiring.

Exhibit 100200048

Exhibit 1002

80. In addition to the figures above, I have also similarly annotated the

modification of Fig. 3(c) showing the second configuration of Narizuka, which

includes addition of the Cr/Cu or Ti/Cu “UBM” to the existing wiring to form the

first electrode portion underneath the solder ball.

4. Narizuka: Dependent Claim 4 (The semiconductor device of claim 3, wherein the first and

Exhibit 100200049

50

third electrode portion are horizontally spaced apart with respect to the semiconductor element)

81. As shown directly above with respect to claim 3, in either of

Narizuka’s configurations (solder ball 17 directly on wiring or solder ball attached

to “UBM” on top of wiring), the first and third electrode portions are horizontally

spaced apart with respect to its semiconductor element.

5. Narizuka: Dependent Claim 5

82. Dependent claim 5 includes three parts, which I have designated as

parts (a) through (c), and I address each of those parts in turn below.

(1) Claim 5: Element (a): (The semiconductor device of claim 3, further comprising an insulating film formed on said metal wiring)

83. I explained above how Narizuka describes the features of dependent

claim 3. In addition, Narizuka also describes an “insulating film” over its wiring

13 as its protective or insulation film 16. As stated by Narizuka: “a protective

film covering the wiring and having a hole for a solder connection opened

therein, and a solder for the outer connection mounted on a hole for a solder

connection opened in the protective film and formed by diffusing (diffusion-

alloying) the Cu layer in the wiring and bringing it to reach the Cr or Ti layer to

establish a connection.”) (Ex. 1012, 5:11-14; see also 10:18-20 (“In this state, the

protective film (insulation film) 16 serves as a mask when immersed in the

Exhibit 100200050

Page 51: UNITED STATES PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE BEFORE THE … · 2017-05-25 · Continental Automotive, Siemens, LG, General Dynamics Corporation, ... Compound (IMC) layers at the interfaces

Exhibit 1002

51

etching solution of Cr, and as shown in FIG. 3(c), the upper layer of the Cr film

13c is removed only for the portion of the opening 19 of the protective film 16 to

expose the Cu layer 13a”.) The protective film (insulation film) 16 is also

described as a polyimide film (Ex. 1012, 12: 9-10). One of ordinary skill in the art

would have appreciated that the protective film described by Narizuka is an

organic material such as a polyimide, and thus must be an insulator, and thus

performs the same function as the insulating film in the ‘001 patent, particularly

given its location over wiring 13.

84. I have annotated the modification of Fig. 3(c) to demonstrate

Narizuka’s insulating film location in the second configuration, which includes

addition of the Cr/Cu or Ti/Cu “UBM” to the existing wiring to form the first

electrode portion underneath the solder ball. Narizuka’s second configuration

shows the features of this claim 5, including the requirement of element (c) that the

“first electrode” be “flush with or higher than a surface of the insulating film.”

Exhibit 100200051

Page 52: UNITED STATES PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE BEFORE THE … · 2017-05-25 · Continental Automotive, Siemens, LG, General Dynamics Corporation, ... Compound (IMC) layers at the interfaces

Exhibit 1002

52

(2) Claim 5: Element (b): (wherein an opening of said insulating film exposes a surface of the first electrode portion)

85. Narizuka’s insulating film includes an opening to expose a surface of

its first electrode portion. As stated by Narizuka: “a protective film covering the

wiring and having a hole for a solder connection opened therein, and a solder

for the outer connection mounted on a hole for a solder connection opened in the

protective film and formed by diffusing (diffusion-alloying) the Cu layer in the

wiring and bringing it to reach the Cr or Ti layer to establish a connection.”) (Ex.

1012, 5:11-14; see also 10:18-20, and Abstract.)

86. In Narizuka’s second configuration, the “UBM” as an electrode is

placed within the opening made in Narizuka’s insulating film, thus exposing the

surface of its first electrode portion. I have annotated the modification of Fig. 3(c)

to show that opening.

Exhibit 100200052

Exhibit 1002

53

(3) Claim 5: Element (c): (and wherein said surface of the first electrode portion is flush with or higher than a surface of the insulating film)

87. In Narizuka’s second configuration, its first electrode portion is higher

than a surface of its insulating film 16, as shown in the annotation of the

modification of Fig. 3(c), below.

6. Narizuka: Dependent Claim 6 (The semiconductor device of claim 3, wherein the metal wiring includes copper)

88. I explained above how Narizuka describes the features of dependent

claim 3. In addition, Narizuka explains that its metal wiring includes Cu. (See Ex.

1012, 5:8-14; 12:6-11.)

7. Narizuka: Dependent Claim 7

89. Dependent claim 7 includes two parts, which I have designated as

parts (a) and (b), and I address each of those parts in turn below.

Exhibit 100200053

Page 54: UNITED STATES PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE BEFORE THE … · 2017-05-25 · Continental Automotive, Siemens, LG, General Dynamics Corporation, ... Compound (IMC) layers at the interfaces

Exhibit 1002

54

(1) Claim 7: Element (a): (The semiconductor device of claim 3, further comprising an insulating resin layer formed between the surface of the semiconductor element and the metal wiring)

90. I explained above how Narizuka describes the features of dependent

claim 3. In addition, Narizuka also describes an “insulating resin layer” between

the surface of its semiconductor element and its metal wiring in the form of its

insulation layer 15. As explained by Narizuka: “The insulating layer 15 relaxes

the stress added to the portion of the solder 17 due to a difference in the thermal

expansion, etc., between the substrate 11 and a package board, which is an external

circuit.” (Ex. 1012, 8:12-13; see also 5:16-17 (“Furthermore, the present invention

is also characterized in that the insulating layer of the semiconductor device

contains an organic resin layer.”); Fig. 1 (“Stress Relaxation Layer” 15), Abstract,

5:8-14 (explanation specific to “semiconductor device”), 8:5-11, and 12:6-11

(explanation specific to “semiconductor device”).) Thus, Narizuka’s insulating

layer 15 as an “insulating resin layer” performs the same function of stress

absorption/relaxation as the ‘001 patent’s “insulating resin layer,” and is also

described as being made of an “organic resin layer.” (See Ex. 1001, 12:16-36

(discussing ‘001 patent “insulating resin layer” alleged “effects”).)

55

91. Annotated versions of Figs. 1 and 3(d) provided below illustrate

Narizuka’s insulating resin layer, in the first configuration where solder ball 17 is

directly connected to the wiring.

92. I have similarly annotated the modification of Fig. 3(c) to demonstrate

Narizuka’s insulating resin layer location in the second configuration, which

Exhibit 100200055

Page 56: UNITED STATES PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE BEFORE THE … · 2017-05-25 · Continental Automotive, Siemens, LG, General Dynamics Corporation, ... Compound (IMC) layers at the interfaces

Exhibit 1002

56

includes addition of the Cr/Cu or Ti/Cu “UBM” to the existing wiring to form the

first electrode portion underneath the solder ball.”

(2) Claim 7: Element (b): (wherein the metal wiring is formed along a surface of the insulating resin layer)

93. As shown by the annotated Figs. directly above, Narizuka’s metal

wiring (the portion of the wiring that is not part of the “first electrode portion”) is

formed along a surface of its insulating resin layer, in both configurations.

94. The fact that Narizuka as prior art discloses such an “insulating resin

layer” is confirmed by the ‘001 patent itself, which states that an insulating resin

layer and metal wiring formed along a surface of that insulating resin layer is prior

art, and known in conventional semiconductor devices. (See Ex. 1001, prior art

Fig. 15C and 2:1-3.)

8. Narizuka: Dependent Claim 8 (The semiconductor device of claim 3, wherein the metal wiring has a thickness in the range of 0.01 m to 8 m)

Exhibit 100200056

Page 57: UNITED STATES PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE BEFORE THE … · 2017-05-25 · Continental Automotive, Siemens, LG, General Dynamics Corporation, ... Compound (IMC) layers at the interfaces

Exhibit 1002

57

95. I explained above how Narizuka describes the features of dependent

claim 3. In addition, Narizuka explains that its metal wiring may have a thickness

within the range of “0.01 m to 8 m.” As stated by Narizuka: “The wiring 13

according to the present invention is formed by laminating a Cu layer 13a with a

thickness of about 0.1-10 m, which is practically the lowest resistance material,

into the portion that connects to an external circuit; a Cu or Ti thin film layer 13b

with a thickness of about 0.05-1.0 m on the under layer 15 side; a Cr thin film

layer 13c with a thickness of about 0.01-0.3 m thick on the protective film 16

side.” (Ex. 1012, 8:14-17; see also 4:8-9.) The “metal wiring” in both

configurations of Narizuka is the portion of wiring 13, including each of 13a, 13b,

and 13c, that is not the first electrode portion. Here, neither claim 8, nor any claim

from which it depends, claims any particular significance to the claimed range.

9. Narizuka: Dependent Claim 9 (The semiconductor device of claim 1, further comprising a substrate having a wiring electrode, wherein said wiring electrode is electrically connected to said second electrode portion)

96. I explained above how Narizuka describes the features of independent

claim 1. In addition, Narizuka explains that its semiconductor device is connected

to a package or wiring board (substrate) through its solder balls (second electrode

portion) to electrodes on that package or wiring board. (See Ex. 1012, 8:12-13

(“The insulating layer 15 relaxes the stress added to the portion of the solder 17

Exhibit 100200057

Exhibit 1002

58

due to a difference in the thermal expansion, etc., between the substrate 11 and a

package board, which is an external circuit”; 16:14-18 (“By connecting and

mounting the solder of the wiring board or the semiconductor device according to

the present invention described above to the electrode of a substrate, etc., an

electronic apparatus or semiconductor device package structure can be

constituted. Even if a further finer wiring and advanced multi-layering are

strongly desired along with the need for higher performance and multi-functioning

of electronic apparatuses and semiconductor device package structures, it is

possible to secure the function of the connection part with the outside”).)

10.Narizuka: Independent Claim 10

97. The text of independent claim 10 is identical to that of independent

claim 1 except for the additional element of “said first electrode portion and said

diffusion layer have a combined thickness in the range of 10 m to 20 m.” So, I

incorporate by my earlier analysis provided in paragraphs 66-76 here, without

repeating it.

98. As to the additional element, Narizuka explains that the Cu portion of

its wiring 13a ranges in thickness between 0.1 to 10 microns, and the Cr or Ti

portion of its wiring 13b ranges in thickness between 0.05 and 1 microns. (See Ex.

1012, 8:14-15.)

Exhibit 100200058

Exhibit 1002

59

99. In the first Narizuka configuration, where the solder ball 17 is

connected directly to the wiring, if the Cu portion 13a has a thickness of 10 m ,

and the Cr or Ti portion 13b has any thickness between 0.05 and 1 m, then

thickness of the wiring alone would be in the range of 10-11 m. Thus, the

“combined thickness” of the “diffusion layer” (i.e., the intermetallic formed

between the Cu portion of the wiring 13a and the solder ball) and the “first

electrode portion” (wiring portions 13a and 13b together) would be at least 10-11

m.

100. As discussed above in paragraph 45, one of ordinary skill in the art

would also have appreciated that any intermetallic layer (diffusion layer) present

would be irregular in shape, as also illustrated in exaggerated form in Narizuka’s

Fig. 1. One of skill would also recognize that the thickness of such an intermetallic

layer (diffusion layer) would typically be just a few microns for typical thermal

exposures used in assembling a WLCSP. (e.g., see Ex. 1010, Table 2, where Cu-

Sn IMC thicknesses were below 3 m for short thermal exposures (hours) at

temperatures up to 125 oC, and were below 6 m for longer thermal exposures

(days) at temperatures up to 125 oC ). Using an upper bound IMC layer thickness

of 6 m, the combined thickness of the first electrode portion (wiring, 10-11 m)

and diffusion layer (IMC layer, 0-6 m) in the first Narizuka configuration would

60

be in the range of 10-17 m, which falls within the 10 m to 20 m range in

independent claim 10.

101. The same type of analysis can be performed for Narizuka’s second

configuration, where its wiring “UBM” is placed atop an existing wire as an

electrode, and the solder ball is attached to that “UBM.” In that configuration, the

existing wire would not include the last Cr layer 13c, as discussed above in relation

to the “first electrode portion” and the introduction of the second configuration. In

the second configuration, where the Cu portions 13a of the existing wire and the

wiring “UBM” electrode have a total thickness of 5 + 5 = 10 m, and the Cr or Ti

portions 13b of the existing wire and the wiring “UBM” electrode have a total

thickness between 0.1 and 2 m, the thickness of the wiring and wiring UBM

together would be in the range of 10-12 m. Again using an upper bound IMC

layer thickness of 6 m, the combined thickness of the first electrode (wiring and

wiring UBM, 10-12 m) and the diffusion layer (IMC layer, 0-6 m) in the second

Narizuka configuration would be in the range of 10-18 m, which again falls

within the 10 m to 20 m range in independent claim 10.

17.Narizuka: Dependent Claim 17 (The semiconductor device of claim 12, wherein the metal wiring has a thickness in the range of 0.01 m to 8 m)

108. The text of claim 12, from which this claim depends, is the same as

claim 3, so I incorporate my earlier analysis provided in paragraphs 78-80. As to

the thickness of the metal wiring, Narizuka explains that the Cu portion of its

wiring 13a ranges in thickness between 0.1 to 10 m, the Cr or Ti portion of its

wiring 13b ranges in thickness between 0.05 and 1 m, and the last Cr portion 13c

ranges in thickness between 0.01 to 0.3 m. (See Ex. 1012, 8:14-17)

109. As discussed extensively above, in Narizuka’s second configuration,

its wiring “UBM” is placed atop an existing wire as an electrode and the solder ball

is attached to that “UBM.” As also explained above, the “metal wiring” in that

configuration of Narizuka is the full portion of wiring 13, including each of 13a,

13b, and 13c, that is not the first electrode portion. Here, I set forth an example

within the explained thickness ranges of Narizuka in my discussion of claim 10, in

which the existing wire as the “metal wiring” would have a thickness of 5 m for

portion 13a, and any thickness between 0.05 and 1 m for portion 13b. Now,

adding the Cr portion 13c, even at the maximum thickness, the total maximum

thickness in that example is just over 6 m, which is within the range of claim 17.

C. German Patent Publication No. DE 100 11 368 (“Takizawa”)

111. Takizawa is provided as Ex. 1014, which includes a translation of that

publication from German to English. References below are to the English

Translation.

112. Takizawa describes a semiconductor device with a semiconductor

element that includes an electrode connected to a solder ball through an offset

wiring configuration. (Ex. 1014, 4:38 (“As illustrated in FIG. [5]A3, the

semiconductor device is comprised of a semiconductor chip 1”).) While Takizawa

does not illustrate its offset wiring configuration, it explicitly states that “[i]t is not

3 There is a typographical error in Takizawa, where it references Fig. 1A and

not Fig. 5A on page 4 at line 38. It is clear to one of skill in the art reading

Takizawa from the surrounding text the reference should be to Fig. 5A. Similar

typographical errors occur on page 4 line 36, which should read “FIGS 5A to 5C

illustrate a semiconductor device in accordance with the first embodiment of the

present invention.”

Exhibit 100200063

always necessary that the solder ball [11]4 is located just above the electrode 12.”

when discussing the configuration shown in Fig. 5A. (Ex. 1014, 4:49) One of skill

in the art would have appreciated Takizawa’s statement to refer to an offset wiring

configuration.

113. In order to illustrate that alternative configuration where Takizawa’s

wiring 2 is provided in an offset configuration relative to its electrode 12, a

modified version of Fig. 5A is provided below.

4 There are typographical errors in Takizawa, where it references solder ball

101 and not solder ball 11 on page 4 lines 41, 42, 46, 48, 49, and 51. It is clear to

one of skill in the art reading Takizawa from the surrounding text the reference

should be to Fig. 5A and solder ball 11. These errors are not present beginning

with line 52 on page 4.

114. Takizawa also describes a “diffusion layer” in the form of a Sn-Cu

alloy layer 21 (i.e. an intermetallic) between its wiring 2 and solder ball 11: “As

mentioned earlier, the Cu-Sn alloy layer 21 is sandwiched between the solder ball

11 and the wiring layer 2 in the first embodiment. The Cu-Sn alloy layer 21

makes it possible to prevent occurrence of breakage and cracking across the solder

ball 11 and the wiring layer 2, preventing that the solder ball 11 is separated from

the wiring layer 2 due to the breakage and/or cracking across the solder ball 11 and

the wiring layer 2. As a result, it would be possible to enhance a fabrication yield

of the semiconductor device.” (Ex. 1014, 4:61-5:3.) Annotated Figs. 5B and 6B

are provided below, highlighting the Cu-Sn alloy layer 21.

D. Takizawa Describes The Content Of Claims 1-7, 9-16, and 18

115. It is my opinion that Takizawa alone describes the content of each of

claims 1-7, 9-16, and 18 of the ‘001 patent. Below, I explain the correlation

between aspects of Takizawa and those claims.

1. Takizawa: Independent Claim 1

116. Independent claim 1 includes four parts (designated (a) through (d))

and a “preamble,” and I address each of those parts in turn below.

(1) Claim 1: Preamble: (A semiconductor device)

117. Takizawa describes and illustrates a “semiconductor device,” by way

of Fig. 5A and prior art Fig. 1A and their accompanying explanations. (Ex. 1014,

4:38 (“As illustrated in FIG. [5]A, the semiconductor device is comprised of a

semiconductor chip 1”); 2:13 (“With reference to FIG. 1A, the conventional

semiconductor device is comprised of a semiconductor chip 1”).)

(2) Claim 1: Element (a): (a semiconductor element)

118. The semiconductor device of Takizawa includes a “semiconductor

element” as semiconductor chip 1 in both Fig. 5A and the prior art Fig. 1A

examples. (Ex. 1014, 4:38 (“As illustrated in FIG. [5]A, the semiconductor device

is comprised of a semiconductor chip 1”); 2:13 (“With reference to FIG. 1A, the

Exhibit 100200066

Exhibit 1002

67

conventional semiconductor device is comprised of a semiconductor chip 1”).) As

noted above, while Takizawa does not illustrate its offset wiring configuration, it

explicitly states that “[i]t is not always necessary that the solder ball [11] is located

just above the electrode 12” when discussing the configuration shown in Fig. 5A.

(Ex. 1014, 4:49)

119. In order to illustrate that alternative configuration where Takizawa’s

wiring 2 is provided in an offset configuration relative to its electrode 12, a

modified version of Fig. 5A is provided below highlighting the semiconductor

element. Takizawa’s statement about the location of the solder ball 11 relative to

the electrode 12 is equally applicable to prior art Fig. 1A, but I have not prepared a

modification of that figure, because figures 5A and 1A are essentially identical

except for the numerical designation of the solder ball.5

5 Fig. 1A includes a reference number 8 to a layer of Gold (Au) not included

in Fig. 5A.

Exhibit 1002

68

(3) Claim 1: Element (b): (a first electrode portion formed on the semiconductor element, said first electrode portion comprising a first metal component)

120. The semiconductor device of Takizawa also includes a “first electrode

portion” formed on its semiconductor element that is made of a “first metal

component.” In particular, Takizawa in both Fig. 5A and prior art Fig. 1A include

wiring 2, the portion of which below the solder ball is a “first electrode portion.”

Wiring 2 is made of Cu as its “first metal component.” As stated by Takizawa:

“The wiring layer 2 is in electrical connection with the semiconductor chip 1, and

contains copper (Cu) therein. The solder ball [11] contains tin (Sn) therein.” (Ex.

1014, 4:45-46; see also 5:14 and 2:19 (regarding Fig. 1A).)

121. The modified version of Fig. 5A showing Takizawa’s offset

configuration is annotated below to highlight its “first electrode portion.”

(4) Claim 1: Element (c): (a second electrode portion formed on the semiconductor element and electrically connected to said first electrode portion, said second electrode portion comprising a second metal component different from said first metal component)

122. In Takizawa, the “second electrode portion” is its solder ball 11 in

Fig. 5A and 101 in prior art Fig. 1A. The modified version of Fig. 5A showing

Takizawa’s offset configuration is annotated below to highlight its “second

electrode portion.”

Exhibit 100200069

Exhibit 1002

70

123. Takizawa explains that its solder ball 11 in Fig. 5A and 101 in prior

art Fig. 1A includes Sn as the “second metal component.” (Ex. 1014, 4:52-53

(“FIG. 6A is an enlarged view of the wiring layer 2 and the solder ball 11, wherein

the solder ball 11 is composed of Sn-Pb eutectic solder containing tin 22 at 65%

and lead at 35%.”); see also 2:26-27 (regarding Fig. 1A solder ball 101 containing

63% tin).)

(5) Claim 1: Element (d): (a diffusion layer formed between said first electrode portion and said second electrode portion, wherein said diffusion layer comprises said first metal component and said second metal component)

124. Takizawa explains the existence of a “diffusion layer” in the form of

its Sn-Cu alloy layer 21 for Fig. 5B, and Sn-Cu alloy layer 81 for its prior art Fig.

1B. As explained by Takizawa: “As mentioned earlier, the Cu-Sn alloy layer 21

Exhibit 100200070

Page 71: UNITED STATES PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE BEFORE THE … · 2017-05-25 · Continental Automotive, Siemens, LG, General Dynamics Corporation, ... Compound (IMC) layers at the interfaces

Exhibit 1002

71

is sandwiched between the solder ball 11 and the wiring layer 2 in the first

embodiment. The Cu-Sn alloy layer 21 makes it possible to prevent occurrence of

breakage and cracking across the solder ball 11 and the wiring layer 2, preventing

that the solder ball 11 is separated from the wiring layer 2 due to the breakage

and/or cracking across the solder ball 11 and the wiring layer 2. As a result, it

would be possible to enhance a fabrication yield of the semiconductor device.”)

(Ex. 1014, 4:61-5:3; see also 2:28-29 (discussing Cu-Sn alloy layer 81 for prior art

Fig. 1A).) Notably, both Takizawa and the ‘001 patent use the same “Sn-Cu alloy

layer” terminology to describe their respective “diffusion layers.” (See Ex. 1001,

8:63-9:1 (“Sn contained in solder of the ball electrode 16 diffuses into Cu

contained in the metal wiring 14, whereby a Sn—Cu alloy layer having low

strength grows in the thickness direction of the external electrode portion 14a”).)

125. Annotated Figs. 5B and 6B are provided below, highlighting the Cu-

Sn alloy layer 21 that is the “diffusion layer” of the ‘001 patent claims.

2. Takizawa: Dependent Claim 2 (The semiconductor device of claim 1, wherein said first metal component includes copper and said second metal component includes tin)

126. I explained above how Takizawa describes the features of

independent claim 1. As explained, Takizawa’s wiring 2 in both Fig. 5A and the

prior art Fig. 1A is made of Cu, a portion of which is the “first electrode portion”

as discussed above. (Ex. 1014, 4:45-46; see also 5:19 and 1:19 (regarding Fig.

1A).) Also, the solder ball 11 of Fig. 5A and the solder ball 101 of prior art Fig.

1A as a “second electrode portion” includes Sn as its “second metal component.”

(Ex. 1014, 4:52-53 (“FIG. 6A is an enlarged view of the wiring layer 2 and the

solder ball 11, wherein the solder ball 11 is composed of Sn-Pb eutectic solder

containing tin 22 at 65% and lead at 35%.”); see also 2:26-27 (regarding Fig. 1A

solder ball 101 containing 63% tin).)

3. Takizawa: Dependent Claim 3 (The semiconductor device of claim 1, further comprising a third electrode portion formed on a surface of the semiconductor element and a metal wiring formed on the semiconductor element, said metal wiring electrically connecting the first electrode portion to the third electrode portion)

127. I explained above how Takizawa describes the features of

independent claim 1. In addition, Takizawa also includes a “third electrode

portion” as its electrode 12 on the surface of its semiconductor element

(semiconductor chip 1) which is connected to wiring (metal 5 and wiring 2). In

both Fig. 5A and the prior art Fig. 1A, the metal wiring (metal 5 and wiring 2)

electrically connects the third electrode portion (electrode 12) to the first electrode

portion (portion of wiring 2 under the solder ball). As stated by Takizawa: “In the

semiconductor device in accordance with the first embodiment, the through-hole 4

is formed just above an electrode 12 of the semiconductor chip 12. The solder ball

[11] is electrically connected to the electrode 12 through the metal 5 filled in the

through-hole 4.” (Ex. 1014, 4:47-49; see also 2:17-18 (regarding prior art Fig.

1A).)

128. The modified version of Fig. 5A showing Takizawa’s offset

configuration is annotated below to highlight its “third electrode portion” and

“metal wiring.” As stated previously, the offset configuration is equally applicable

to prior art Fig. 1A, which is essentially identical.

4. Takizawa: Dependent Claim 4 (The semiconductor device of claim 3, wherein the first and third electrode portion are horizontally spaced apart with respect to the semiconductor element)

129. As shown directly above with respect to claim 3, in the offset

configuration explained by Takizawa, the first and third electrode portions are

horizontally spaced apart with respect to its semiconductor element.

130. Dependent claim 5 includes three parts, which I have designated as

parts (a) through (c), and I address each of those parts in turn below.

(1) Claim 5: Element (a): (The semiconductor device of claim 3, further comprising an insulating film formed on said metal wiring)

131. I explained above how Takizawa describes the features of dependent

claim 3. In addition, Takizawa also describes an “insulating film” of solder resist

32 over its “metal wiring” (wiring 2 as part of its “metal wiring”), in both the Fig.

5A and prior art Fig. 1A examples. As stated by Takizawa: “As illustrated in FIG.

[5]A, the semiconductor device is comprised of a semiconductor chip 1, a film

substrate 3, a polyimide adhesive layer 31 adhering the film substrate 3 to the

semiconductor chip 1, a resist 32 covering the wiring layer 2 therewith and

formed with a land 7 which is a recess formed at a surface thereof, a wiring

layer 2 formed on the film substrate 3, a solder ball [11] mounted on the wiring

layer 2 in the land 7, a layer 21 (see FIG. [5]B) made of copper-tin alloy and

sandwiched between the solder ball [11] and the wiring layer 2, a metal 5 filled in a

through-hole 4 formed through both the film substrate 3 and the polyimide

adhesive layer 31, and a gold (Au) layer 6 covering therewith the metal 5 at a top

surface thereof.” (Ex. 1014, 4:38-44; see also 2:14-15 (similar disclosure for prior

art Fig. 1A).) One of skill in the art would have appreciated that the reference to

Exhibit 100200075

“resist 32” is to a non-conducting (insulating) solder resist used to protect the

wiring from contacting a solder alloy during soldering processes.

132. The modified version of Fig. 5A showing Takizawa’s offset

configuration is annotated below to highlight its “insulating film.” As stated

previously, the offset configuration is equally applicable to prior art Fig. 1A, which

is essentially identical.

(2) Claim 5: Element (b): (wherein an opening of said insulating film exposes a surface of the first electrode portion)

133. Takizawa’s insulating film includes an opening to expose a surface of

its first electrode portion, as shown in the annotation below. (See Ex. 1014, Fig. 7G

and 5:26-27 (“Then, as illustrated in FIG. 7G, the resist 32 is formed with the land

7 above the wiring layer 2. In later steps, the solder ball 11 is mounted on the

wiring layer 2 in the land 7.”); Fig. 3G and 2:45-46 (regarding prior art Fig. 1A).)

(3) Claim 5: Element (c): (and wherein said surface of the first electrode portion is flush with or higher than a surface of the insulating film)

134. As shown in the annotated Fig. provided directly below, Takizawa’s

first electrode portion is flush with a surface of its insulating film. As to that

illustration, one of skill in the art would have appreciated that the resist is drawn in

an exaggerated form to show its protection of other portions of wiring 2 to which

the solder ball will not be attached. Thus, one of skill in the art would have

appreciated that Takizawa’s first electrode portion is at least approximately flush

with a surface of its insulating film, also demonstrated by the portion of Fig. 10.20

provided below. (See e.g., Ex. 1007 at Fig. 10.20 (at right side of Fig. 10.20 noting

6. Takizawa: Dependent Claim 6 (The semiconductor device of claim 3, wherein the metal wiring includes copper)

135. I explained above how Takizawa describes the features of dependent

claim 3. In addition, Takizawa explains that its metal wiring (metal 5 and portion

of wiring 2) includes Cu, for both Fig. 5A and the prior art Fig. 1A examples (Ex.

1014, 4:45-46 (regarding Fig. 5A); 5:24 (regarding Fig. 5A); 2:19 (regarding prior

art Fig. 1A); 2:43 (regarding prior art Fig. 1A).)

136. Dependent claim 7 includes two parts, which I have designated as

parts (a) and (b), and I address each of those parts in turn below.

(1) Claim 7: Element (a): (The semiconductor device of claim 3, further comprising an insulating resin layer formed between the surface of the semiconductor element and the metal wiring)

137. I explained above how Takizawa describes the features of dependent

claim 3. In addition, Takizawa also describes an “insulating resin layer” between

the surface of its semiconductor element and its metal wiring (wiring 2 as part of

its “metal wiring”) in the form of its film substrate 3 made of a polyimide as well

as an adhesive layer 31 also made of a polyimide, in both Fig. 5A and the prior art

Fig. 1A. As stated by Takizawa: “As illustrated in FIG. [5]A, the semiconductor

device is comprised of a semiconductor chip 1, a film substrate 3, a polyimide

adhesive layer 31 adhering the film substrate 3 to the semiconductor chip 1, a

resist 32 covering the wiring layer 2 therewith and formed with a land 7 which is a

recess formed at a surface thereof, a wiring layer 2 formed on the film substrate 3,

a solder ball [11] mounted on the wiring layer 2 in the land 7, a layer 21 (see FIG.

wiring layer 2, a metal 5 filled in a through-hole 4 formed through both the film

substrate 3 and the polyimide adhesive layer 31, and a gold (Au) layer 6 covering

therewith the metal 5 at a top surface thereof.” (Ex. 1014, 4:38-44; 5:15-19

(content of film substrate 3 and adhesive 31 as polyimides), and 2:34-37 (similar

disclosure for prior art Fig. 1A).)

138. Here, one of skill in the art would have appreciated that the

polyimides of the film substrate 3 and adhesive layer 31 of both Fig. 5A and prior

art Fig. 1A were resins prior to being cured, forming a “resin layer.” In addition,

Takizawa describes the use of an epoxy resin 42 when connecting the completed

substrates of Fig. 5A and prior art Fig. 1A to semiconductor chip 1, which itself or

in combination with film substrate 3 or adhesive 31, would also be an “insulating

resin layer.” (See Ex. 1014, 3:1-3 (with regard to Fig. 1A…“resin 42 is applied

between tape substrate 93 and the semiconductor chip 1…The resin 42 is

composed of epoxy resin liquid, for instance”); 5:42-44 (with regard to Fig.

5A…“resin 42 is applied between tape substrate 33 and the semiconductor chip

1…The resin is composed of epoxy resin in liquid, for instance”).)

139. Further, one of skill in the art would also have appreciated that the

polyimides of the film substrate 3 and adhesive layer 31, and the epoxy resin 42 of

both Fig. 5A and the prior art Fig. 1A examples would be compliant, and would

provide stress absorption/relaxation similar to the alleged effect of the ‘001

patent’s “insulating resin layer.” (See Ex. 1001, 12:16-36 (discussing ‘001 patent

“insulating resin layer” alleged “effects”).) That understanding is explained by

PCT Publication No. WO99/49511 (“Hashimoto”), provided as Ex. 1015, which

explains the compliant qualities of such materials as: “Here, the intermediate layer

16 is made of an insulating resin, for example, a polyimide resin, and when the

semiconductor device 10 is mounted to a circuit board (not shown), this layer can

relax the stress occurred due to the difference in the coefficient of thermal

expansion between the semiconductor chip 12 and the mounted circuit board.” (Ex.

1015, 8:9-13; see also 8:14-25 (discussing “low Young’s modulus” and other

features of described “intermediate layer 16”).)

140. The modified version of Fig. 5A showing Takizawa’s offset

configuration is annotated below to highlight its “insulating resin layer.” As stated

Exhibit 100200081

82

previously, the offset configuration is equally applicable to prior art Fig. 1A, which

is essentially identical.

(2) Claim 7: Element (b): (wherein the metal wiring is formed along a surface of the insulating resin layer)

141. As shown by the annotated Figure directly above, Takizawa’s metal

wiring (portion of wiring 2) is formed along a surface of its insulating resin layer.

142. The fact that Takizawa as prior art discloses such an “insulating resin

layer” is confirmed by the ‘001 patent itself, which states that an insulating resin

layer and metal wiring formed along a surface of that insulating resin layer is prior

art, and known in conventional semiconductor devices. (See Ex. 1001, prior art

Fig. 15C and 2:1-3.)

8. Takizawa: Dependent Claim 9 (The semiconductor device of claim 1, further comprising a substrate having a wiring electrode, wherein said wiring electrode is electrically connected to said second electrode portion)

143. I explained above how Narizuka describes the features of dependent

claim 1. In addition, Takizawa explains how its semiconductor device in both Fig.

5A and prior art Fig. 1A is attached to a printed wiring board (a substrate) by

connecting of the solder balls (second electrode portion) to the wiring of the

printed wiring board. (See Ex. 1014, 3:15-16 (“Then, as illustrated in FIG. 4H, the

solder balls 101 are caused to reflow to thereby physically connect the solder balls

101 to the printed wiring board 34. Thus, there is completed a semiconductor

device as a final product.”); 5:58-59 (“Then, as illustrated in FIG. 8I, the solder

balls 11 are caused to reflow to thereby physically connect the solder balls 11 to

the printed wiring board 34. Thus, there is completed a semiconductor device as a

final product”).)

9. Takizawa: Independent Claim 10

144. The text of independent claim 10 is identical to that of independent

claim 1 except for the additional element of “said first electrode portion and said

diffusion layer have a combined thickness in the range of 10 m to 20 m.” So, I

incorporate my earlier analysis provided in paragraphs 116-125 here, without

repeating it.

Exhibit 100200083

Page 84: UNITED STATES PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE BEFORE THE … · 2017-05-25 · Continental Automotive, Siemens, LG, General Dynamics Corporation, ... Compound (IMC) layers at the interfaces

Exhibit 1002

84

145. As to that specific element, Takizawa explains that its wiring 2 is 18

microns thick for both Fig. 5A and prior art example Fig. 1A (Ex. 1014, 5:16 (with

respect to Fig. 5A “the wiring layer 2 has a thickness of 18 micrometers”) and 2:35

(with respect to prior art Fig. 1A “the wiring layer 2 has a thickness of 18

micrometers”).) This discussion covers the portion of the “combined thickness” in

relation to the “first electrode portion” as that is the portion of wiring 2 beneath the

solder ball, as I previously explained.

146. With respect to the claimed “diffusion layer,” Takizawa explains that

the Cu-Sn alloy layer 21 of Figs. 5B and 6B has a thickness of 1.87 microns, and

the Cu-Sn alloy layer 81 in prior art Figs. 2A and 2B has a thickness of 1.0 micron.

(Ex. 1014, 6:32-33 (“Thus, the Cu-Sn layer 21 is required to have a thickness equal

to 1.87 micrometers at smallest in order to prevent the solder ball 11 from being

separated from the wiring layer 2.”) and 6:29-30 (“In contrast, most of the Cu-Sn

alloy layers [81]6in the conventional semiconductor device illustrated in FIGS. 2A

and 2B have a thickness in the range of 1.0 micrometers to 1.5 micrometers”).)

This additional discussion covers the portion of the “combined thickness” in

relation to the diffusion layer, as I explained previously.

6 There is another typographical error in Takizawa where it refers to 21

instead of 81 in reference to the prior art Cn-Sn alloy layer, which one of ordinary

skill would have appreciated in view of the surrounding discussion.

Exhibit 100200084

Exhibit 1002

85

147. So, taking the two together, the “combined thickness” of the first

electrode portion of Fig. 5A and the diffusion layer (layer 21) of Fig. 5B is 18 m

+ 1.87 m = 19.87 m. A similar calculation for the prior art in Figs 2A and 2B

yields a combined thickness of 18 m + 1.0 m = 19 m. Both of these combined

thicknesses from Takizawa are in the range of “10 m to 20 m” required by claim

10.

E. Takizawa Combined with Narizuka For Claims 8 and 17

155. In paragraphs 111-114, 116-125, 127-128, 144-147, and 149. I

provided an introduction to Takizawa, and an explanation as to how that patent

describes the features of dependent claims 3 and 12. Each of claims 8 and 17

Exhibit 100200086

Page 87: UNITED STATES PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE BEFORE THE … · 2017-05-25 · Continental Automotive, Siemens, LG, General Dynamics Corporation, ... Compound (IMC) layers at the interfaces

Exhibit 1002

87

depend from dependent claims 3 and 12, respectively, and claim “The

semiconductor device of claim 3 [or 12], wherein the metal wiring has a thickness

in the range of 0.01 m to 8 m.” Significantly, these claims state “a thickness of

the metal wiring.” Thus, my analysis focuses on the portion of Takizawa’s wiring

2 that is part of its “metal wiring” (i.e., the portion that is not the “first electrode

portion”).

156. As I noted above, Takizawa states that its wiring 2 is 18 μm thick for

the Fig. 5A example, but that thickness is only provided as an example. (See Ex.

1014, 5:14-16 (regarding Fig. 5A – “as illustrated in Fig. 7A…the wiring layer 2

has a thickness of 18 micrometers”).) The focus of Takizawa is its preferred

thickness of the Sn-Cu alloy layer (i.e., “diffusion layer”) of at least 1.87 microns,

which is claimed by Takizawa up to 3 microns or more, without any reference to

any particular thickness of its wiring 2. (See Ex. 1014, claims 1-3.)

157. Here, selection of a thickness of the metal wiring was simply a

design choice, as supported by Takizawa’s own description, and one of skill in the

art would have known to create wiring within the claimed range using industry

standard techniques and processes at the time of the ‘001 patent. As an example,

Narizuka, the first patent I discussed, shows an offset wiring configuration similar

to that of Takizawa which also includes copper, where the copper portion ranges

Exhibit 100200087

Page 88: UNITED STATES PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE BEFORE THE … · 2017-05-25 · Continental Automotive, Siemens, LG, General Dynamics Corporation, ... Compound (IMC) layers at the interfaces

Exhibit 1002

88

from “about 0.1 m to about 10 [ ]m,” and its overall wiring is within the claimed

range. (See Ex. 1012, 4:8-9 (“Furthermore, in the wiring of the wiring board in the

present invention, the thickness of the Cu layer is from about 0.1 m to about 10

m.”); 8:14-17 (“The wiring 13 according to the present invention is formed by

laminating a Cu layer 13a with a thickness of about 0.1-10 m, which is

practically the lowest resistance material, into the portion that connects to an

external circuit; a Cu or Ti thin film layer 13b with a thickness of about 0.05-

1.0 m on the under layer 15 side; a Cr thin film layer 13c with a thickness of

about 0.01-0.3 m thick on the protective film 16 side”).)

158. Further consideration must be given to claim 17, since that claim

depends from claim 10, which includes the requirement that “said first electrode

portion and said diffusion layer have a combined thickness in the range of 10 m

to 20 m.” Copper wiring of 8 μm in thickness was well within the abilities of one

of skill in the art, as just explained, and as shown by the Narizuka reference.

Further, Takizawa states that its Sn-Cu alloy layer, for the Fig. 5A example, is

“1.87 micrometers or greater, more preferably of 2 micrometers or greater, and

most preferably of 3 micrometers or greater.” (See Ex. 1014, 5:4-5.) Thus, when

selecting a wiring thickness of 8 μm, the “combined thickness” of the “first

electrode portion” (portion of wiring 2 under the solder ball) and the “diffusion

Exhibit 100200088

Exhibit 1002

89

layer” would be at least 10μm and preferably 11μm or more, which is in the range

of “10 m to 20 m” required by claim 10.

F. Takizawa Combined with Hashimoto For Claims 7 and 16

159. As I explained above in paragraphs 90-94, it is my opinion that

Takizawa discloses an “insulating resin layer” by its polyimide substrate 3 and

adhesive 31, as well as its epoxy resin 42, for both Fig. 5A and prior art Fig. 1A.

Nevertheless, if the description in the Takizawa patent taken from the perspective

of one of skill in the art as shown by the explanation of Hashimoto regarding

known compliancy of its materials is deemed insufficient, it would have been

obvious to one of skill in the art to use the “insulating resin” material disclosed in

Hashimoto, the compliant benefits of which are expressly explained in that

reference. (Ex. 1015, 8:9-13 (“Here, the intermediate layer 16 is made of an

insulating resin, for example, a polyimide resin, and when the semiconductor

device 10 is mounted to a circuit board (not shown), this layer can relax the stress

occurred due to the difference in the coefficient of thermal expansion between the

semiconductor chip 12 and the mounted circuit board.”; see also 8:14-25

(discussing “low Young’s modulus” and other features of described “intermediate

layer 16”).)

Exhibit 100200089

Page 90: UNITED STATES PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE BEFORE THE … · 2017-05-25 · Continental Automotive, Siemens, LG, General Dynamics Corporation, ... Compound (IMC) layers at the interfaces

Exhibit 1002

90

160. That “insulating resin” material of Hashimoto would be used by one

of skill in the art to construct the substrate 3 (in both Fig. 5A and Fig. 1A), which

is already disclosed as being comprised of a polyimide, and the benefits of that

material would be imparted to the existing semiconductor device of Takizawa.

Use of Hashimoto’s “insulating resin” material would not change the existing

structure of the semiconductor device of Fig. 5A or prior art Fig. 1A, which shows

the claimed features as discussed above.

VI. Secondary or Objective Evidence of Non-obviousness

161. As initially discussed above in paragraph 16, I am only aware of the

alleged unexpected results that the ‘001 patent itself discusses that the applicants

argued as potential “secondary considerations.” However those unexpected results

(while not expressed as “unexpected” or “surprising”) are only discussed in the

context of the selection of the thickness of the external electrode (i.e. the first

electrode portion), and there are no claims specific to that thickness. (See e.g., Ex.

1001, 9:36-10:14, 17:3-38, 23:34-39.) This is consistent with the ‘001 patent’s

failure to describe anything other than the thickness of the external electrode (i.e.,

the first electrode portion), which also offers no discussion of the thickness of the

“diffusion layer,” as I previously explained. So, if Tessera attempts to highlight

the ‘001 patent’s “unexpected results,” there is no technical connection or “nexus”

between those “unexpected results” and the element of claim 10 of “said first
