Abstract

We describe our indium bump process for low-temperature detectors and associated readout. A titanium nitride under bump metallization layer (UBM) is reactively sputtered onto wiring pads as a diffusion barrier and adhesion layer. Indium is thermally evaporated onto this titanium nitride at the desired thickness for bump bonding. Patterning for both titanium nitride and indium layers is accomplished by liftoff techniques. The process flow is compatible with many processes utilized by the low-temperature detector community.
