Abstract:
Multiplexed joining of solder bumps to various substrates for assembly of an integrated circuit package includes placing a semiconductor substrate (312) having solder bump structures (314) in contact with a ceramic substrate (320 having chip pads (322, 334), and placing this structure in contact with ball grid array spheres (352) in order to form a CBGA (360) in a single flow process. The method includes the steps of providing a semiconductor device having at least one first interconnect structure connected to a surface of the semiconductor device (501), and a substrate having a plurality of metallized pads (503); placing an at least one second interconnect structure in aligned contact with one or more of the plurality of metallized pads (505); placing the at least one first interconnect structure in aligned contact with one or more of the plurality of metallized pads (507); and simultaneously reflowing the at least one first interconnect structure and the at least one second interconnect structure such that the semiconductor device and at least one second interconnect structure are connected to the metallized pads of the substrate (509).
Abstract:
A method for forming a conductive vias in a non-conductive substrate having a through-hole formed therein intermediate two side thereof. The method utilizes the steps of: applying gold paste to the through-hole so as to provide electrical conduction therethrough; and under firing the gold paste when a thin conductive film is present upon the substrate and fully firing the gold paste when no thin conductive film is present on the substrate. Under firing the gold paste when a thin-film is present upon the substrate prevents degradation of the thin conductive film. Subsequent processing of the gold paste assures the integrity and reliability thereof. Thus, the gold paste provides enhanced conductivity and improved reliability, as compared to contemporary thin-film vias.

Das Sintern der Leiterbahnen aus Kupfer bei Temperaturen erfolgt oberhalb von 850°C unter Stickstoffatmosphäre erfolgt, wobei eine elektrisch leitende Trennschicht (5) zwischen Edelmetallkontakten und Leiterbahn die Bildung eines Eutektikums Edelmetall/Kupfer verhindert.
Abstract:
A soldering process uses two or more different solder alloys. A first solder alloy (115) that undergoes a solid-to-liquid transition at a first temperature is coated (20) onto the solderable surfaces (105) of a printed circuit board (100). A solder paste (120) that undergoes this solid-to-liquid transition at a temperature greater than the first temperature is deposited on the coated solderable portions, and is heated to a temperature that is above the first temperature but below the second temperature. During this time, the first solder alloy liquifies, while the solder paste does not. The first solder alloy wets to the individual particles in the solder paste, and alloys to the solderable surfaces and the solder particles in the solder paste. The soldering composition is subsequently cooled (40) to solidify the first solder material, forming a solid and substantially planar coating on the solderable portions of the printed circuit board.

A multilayer ceramic circuit substrate having therein internal conductor patterns (2) comprising W and/or Mo as a main component and surface conductor patterns (5) comprising Cu as a main component formed onto a surface layer of the multilayer ceramic circuit substrate, wherein an intermediate metal layer (4) comprising 40 to 90 wt.% of W and/or Mo and 10 to 60 wt.% of at least one element selected from the group consisting of Ir, Pt, Ti, and Cr is formed in through-holes (3) of the surface layer and on parts of the surface layer in the vicinity of the through holes (3) on the surface layer, whereby the internal conductor patterns (2) and the surface conductor patterns (5) are electrically connected through the intermediate metal layer (4). The alumina multilayer ceramic circuit substrate provides an excellent bonding strength and electrical conductivity between the internal conductors and the surface conductors and enables high precision wiring and miniaturization of an electronic circuit part.

Abstract:
A multilayer ceramic substrate with multilayered circuit patterns, the improvement in which internal conductors for wiring are formed by a Ag base conductive materials capable of being co-fired with multilayered green ceramic substrate sheets in an oxidizing atmosphere and external conductors electrically connected with the internal conductors are formed by a Cu base conductive material, the external Cu conductors being formed in such a manner so that a liquid phase of Cu-Ag is not formed at the interface of the Cu conductor and the Ag conductor. Further high reliable resistors of RuO₂ or Bi₂Ru₂O₇ type may be integrally formed onto and/or inside the substrate. In such an arrangement, problems or difficulties caused due to Ag migration, incomplete binder removal, solder leaching, etc., are eliminated and thereby there can be a multilayer substrate wit a high reliability and a high pattern precision.
Abstract:
A power component such as a power transistor is mounted on an insulating substrate of e.g. Beryllia. By using a thick film deposition technique. A first layer (2) is deposited and a second layer (3) is deposited over the first layer to produce a regular series of troughs and lans, in the preferred embodiment troughs and ridges, whereby voiding in the solder bond is minimised if not eliminated to thus maintain a good thermal conductivity between the component and the substrate.
Abstract:
A solder joint assembly technique applies controlled volumes of solder to pads of both package and substrate (31, 32). The two units are positioned adjacent each other with the pads and solder deposits mechanically maintained in registration with each other (34, 35). The assembly is reflowed and the final separation between package and substrate at which the resulting solder joint solidifies is mechanically controlled in order to control a geometry of the resultant solidified joint (36, 37). The solder volume deposits may assume various forms including spherical bumps and solder paste deposits.
