摘要:
A method of making an electronic package is described, wherein a substrate is provided with a pattern of conductive pads and a portion of solder positioned on selected ones of the pattern of copper pads. The solder is then reflowed to form partial hemispherically shaped caps on the selected copper pads. The partial hemispherically shaped caps are then coated with a solder flux. A thin semiconductor chip with a pattern of conductive elements, corresponding to partial hemispherically shaped capped pads, is then positioned on the substrate so that the conductive elements of the thin semiconductor chip substantially line up with the partial hemispherically shaped capped pads of the substrate. The solder is then heated to reflow temperature and an electrical couple is formed between the thin semiconductor chip and the substrate. Since all the solder necessary to make the electrical couple is positioned on the substrate, it is possible to use a thin semiconductor chip in the electronic package avoiding the problem presented by the handling and processing steps associated with securing a bumped wafer substrate during the thinning process and in subsequent processes of making the thinned semiconductor chip from the bumped wafer, for example, the dicing step.

A method and an arrangement for measuring the cooling rate and thermal gradient between the top and bottom surfaces of a printed circuit board. Moreover, it is intended to facilitate control over the temperature gradient which is encountered between the top and bottom of the PCB so as to prevent warpage thereof during the formation of solder joints in a reflow solder oven.

Method and apparatus are disclosed for mounting a flexible film semiconductor chip carrier on a second level electronic package. The resulting electronic packaging structure includes electrically conductive spacers, such as solder balls or solder coated copper balls, which electrically interconnect outer lead bonding pads on the flexible film semiconductor chip carrier and corresponding bonding pads on the second level electronic package, and which physically support the flexible film of the semiconductor chip carrier substantially in a plane above the surface of the second level electronic package. This electronic packaging structure is made using a special assembly fixture comprising a base plate, a pressure insert with a resilient member, and a top plate. The flexible film semiconductor chip carrier with the spacers attached thereto is placed over the resilient member of the pressure insert which is clamped together with the second level electronic package between the top and base plates. Then, this assembly is heated to reflow the solder of the spacers, and the assembly fixture is disassembled,; leaving the flexible film semiconductor chip carrier mounted on the second level electronic package with the flexible film of the carrier having a planar geometry as desired.

A controlled collapse chip connect method of joining an IC chip to a microelectronic circuit card. According to the method an inhomogeneous, anisotropic column of solder is deposited from a Pb/Sn alloy onto solder wettable I/O terminals of the I/C chip, without subsequent homogenizing reflow. The solder core has a Pb rich core and an Sn rich cap. The matching footprint of the solder wettable I/O terminals on the microelectronic circuit card is substantially free of deposited solder and presents a protected Cu surface to the solder columns, or, at most a surface of Cu and anti-oxidant. The chip is aligned with the corresponding footprints on the microelectronic circuit card, and the solder is reflowed to bond the chip to the microelectronic circuit card.

A semiconductor chip carrier assembly which includes a flexible substrate having a metallicized path on one of its surfaces in electrical communication with a semiconductor chip. A stiffener is disposed adjacent to said flexible substrate and is bonded thereto by an adhesive composition. The adhesive composition which comprises a microporous film laden with a curable adhesive is disposed between the flexible substrate and the stiffener. A cover plate is adhesively bonded to the semiconductor chip and to the stiffener. A process of making the assembly involving disposition of the flexible substrate in a vacuum fixture upon which the adhesive composition and stiffener is placed followed by the application of heat and pressure to cure the curable adhesive is also described.
摘要:
A solder interconnection uses preferably lead-rich solder balls for making a low temperature chip attachment directly to any of the higher levels of packaging substrate. After a solder ball has been formed using standard processes, a thin cap layer of preferably pure tin is deposited on a surface of the solder balls. An interconnecting eutectic alloy is formed upon reflow. Subsequent annealing causes tin to diffuse into the lead, or vice versa, and intermix, thereby raising the melting point temperature of the cap layer of the resulting assembly. This structure and process avoids secondary reflow problems during subsequent processing.
