摘要:
In one embodiment, the invention provides a method comprising fabricating a die bump on a die, the die bump being shaped and dimensioned to at least reduce the flow of solder material used, to attach the die bump to a package substrate, towards an under bump metallurgy (UBM) layer located below the die bump. Advantageously, the method may comprise performing a substrate reflow operation to attach the package substrate to the die bump, without performing a separate wafer reflow operation to reflow the die bump.
摘要:
Mechanical stresses are reduced between an electronic component having relatively low fracture toughness and a substrate having relatively greater fracture toughness. In an embodiment, the component may be a die having mounting contacts formed of a low yield strength material, such as solder. A package substrate has columnar lands formed of a relatively higher yield strength material, such as copper, having a relatively higher melting point than the component contacts and having a relatively high current-carrying capacity. The component contacts may be hemispherical in shape. The lands may be substantially cylinders, truncated cones or pyramids, inverted truncated cones or pyramids, or other columnar shapes. Methods of fabrication, as well as application of the package to an electronic assembly and to an electronic system, are also described.
