摘要:
A method of forming a device includes providing a substrate, and forming a solder bump over the substrate. A minor element is introduced to a region adjacent a top surface of the solder bump. A re-flow process is then performed to the solder bump to drive the minor element into the solder bump.
摘要:
An interconnection contact structure assembly including an electronic component having a surface and a conductive contact carried by the electronic component and accessible at the surface. The contact structure includes an internal flexible elongate member having first and second ends and with the first end forming a first intimate bond to the surface of said conductive contact terminal without the use of a separate bonding material. An electrically conductive shell is provided and is formed of at least one layer of a conductive material enveloping the elongate member and forming a second intimate bond with at lease a portion of the conductive contact terminal immediately adjacent the first intimate bond.

Surface-mount, solder-down sockets permit electronic components such as semiconductor packages to be releasably mounted to a circuit board or other electronic component. In an embodiment, resilient contact structures extend through a support substrate, and solder-ball (or other suitable) contact structures are disposed along the bottom of the support substrate in electrical contact with the ends of the resilient contact structures. Composite interconnection elements are used as the resilient contact structures disposed atop the support substrate. In an embodiment intended to receive an LGA-type semiconductor package, pressure contact is made between the resilient contact structures and external connection points of the semiconductor package with a contact force which is generally normal to the top surface of the support substrate. In an embodiment intended to receive a BGA-type semiconductor package, pressure contact is made between the resilient contact structures and external connection points of the semiconductor package with a contact force which is generally parallel to the top surface of the support substrate.

摘要:
A microelectronic device includes a die with input/output (I/O) terminals, and a dielectric layer on the die. The microelectronic device includes electrically conductive pillars which are electrically coupled to the I/O terminals, and extend through the dielectric layer to an exterior of the microelectronic device. Each pillar includes a column electrically coupled to one of the I/O terminals, and a head contacting the column at an opposite end of the column from the I/O terminal. The head extends laterally past the column in at least one lateral direction. Methods of forming the pillars and the dielectric layer are disclosed.
摘要:
A method for fabricating a semiconductor device with a heterogeneous solder joint includes: providing a semiconductor die; providing a coupled element; and soldering the semiconductor die to the coupled element with a first solder joint. The first solder joint includes: a solder material including a first metal composition; and a coating including a second metal composition, different from the first metal composition, the coating at least partially covering the solder material. The second metal composition has a greater stiffness and/or a higher melting point than the first metal composition.
摘要:
A method of forming surface protrusions on an article, and the article with the protrusions attached. The article may be an Integrated Circuit (IC) chip, a test probe for the IC chip or any suitable substrate or nanostructure. The surface protrusions are electroplated to a template or mold wafer, transferred to the article and easily separated from the template wafer. Thus, the attached protrusions may be, e.g., micro-bumps or micro pillars on an IC chip or substrate, test probes on a probe head, or one or more cantilevered membranes in a micro-machine or micro-sensor or other micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) formed without undercutting the MEMS structure.

摘要:
A 3D interconnect structure and method of manufacture are described in which metal redistribution layers (RDLs) are integrated with through-silicon vias (TSVs) and using a single damascene type process flow. A silicon nitride or silicon carbide passivation layer may be provided between the thinned device wafer back side and the RDLs to provide a hermetic barrier and polish stop layer during the process flow.
