A method of encapsulating a microelectronic assembly includes providing one or more microelectronic assemblies having one or more elements defining exterior surfaces and an array of terminals exposed at the exterior surfaces, the one or more elements defining one or more apertures through the exterior surfaces. A layer of a curable barrier material is then provided on a supporting element. The barrier layer has openings therein in a pattern corresponding to the array of terminals on the one or more microelectronic assemblies. The supporting element and the one or more microelectronic elements are then assembled together so that the layer of barrier material contacts the exterior surfaces and covers the apertures and so that the openings in the layer of barrier material are aligned with the terminals. The barrier material is then cured while in contact with the exterior surfaces to thereby form a barrier layer covering the apertures. Next, a curable liquid encapsulant is applied to the microelectronic assemblies, whereby the barrier layer prevents the curable liquid encapsulant from flowing through the apertures, and the encapsulant is cured. The barrier layer and the supporting element cooperatively surround the terminals exposed at the exterior surfaces to protect the terminals from contaminants.

A microelectronic connection component includes a dielectric sheet having an area array of elongated, strip-like leads. Each lead has a terminal end fastened to the sheet and a tip end detachable from the sheet. Each lead extends horizontally parallel to the sheet, from its terminal end to its tip end. The tip ends are attached to a second element, such as another dielectric sheet or a semiconductor wafer. The first and second elements are then moved relative to one another to advance the tip end of each lead vertically away from the dielectric sheet and deform the leads into a bent, vertically extensive configuration. The preferred structures provide semiconductor chip assemblies with a planar area array of contacts on the chip, an array of terminals on the sheet positioned so that each terminal is substantially over the corresponding contact, and an array of metal S-shaped ribbons connected between the terminals and contacts. A compliant dielectric material may be provided between the sheet and chip, substantially surrounding the S-shaped ribbons.

A semiconductor chip package includes a semiconductor chip having surfaces and contacts, a layer of a moisture-permeable material bonded to one surface of the chip and a moisture-impermeable encapsulant overlying the moisture-permeable material and at least partially surrounding the chip. The package has exposed exterior surfaces and terminals on at least one of the exposed exterior surfaces which are electrically connected to the contacts. The moisture-permeable material extends to at least one of the exposed exterior surfaces so that moisture may be vented through the moisture-permeable material and out of the package. In certain embodiments, the moisture-permeable material includes a compliant layer having silicone and the moisture-impermeable material includes an epoxy.

A method of making connections to a microelectronic unit includes the steps of providing a connection component having a flexible dielectric top sheet, a plurality of terminals on the top sheet and a plurality of electrically conductive, elongated flexible leads connected to the terminals and extending side-by-side downwardly from the terminals away from the top sheet to bottom ends remote from the top sheet. The connection component is then engaged with a front surface of a microelectronic unit having an array of contacts thereon while subjecting the connection component and the microelectronic unit to heat and pressure so that bottom ends of the leads remote from the top sheet bond with the contacts on the microelectronic unit to form electrical connections therewith.

The present invention provides an interconnection scheme having compliant contacts arranged in an array to connect conductive surfaces on a microelectronic device and a supporting substrate, such as a printed circuit board. This invention accommodates for the difference in thermal coefficients of expansion between the device and the supporting substrate. Typically, an area array of conductive contact pads are connected into rows by conductive leads on a flexible, intermediate substrate. Each of the conductive leads bridges a bonding hole in the intermediate substrate which is situated between successive contact pads. Each of the conductive leads further has a frangible portion within or near each bonding hole. A stand-off between the intermediate substrate and the device is create by compliant dielectric pads, typically composed of an elastomer material, positioned under each contact pad. The frangible portions allow the leads to be cleanly broken, bent and secured into electrical contact with mating contact pads on the device. Each of these connections may be supported by a compliant layer, typically an uncured elastomer which fills the area around the dielectric pads and is then cured.

Semiconductor chip packages and methods of fabricating the same. The package includes a thermally conductive protective structure having an indentation open to a front side and a flange surface at least partially surrounding the indentation and facing to the front of the structure. A chip is disposed in the indentation so that the front surface of the chip, with contacts thereon, faces toward the front of the structure. A flexible dielectric film having terminals thereon is placed on the flange surface, and a compliant material is disposed between the film and the flange surface. The terminals on the film are connected to the contacts on the chip. The individual terminals on the film are movable with respect to the protective structure, which facilitates mounting and compensation for thermal expansion.

In a method for mounting a sheet-like multi-layer element for producing a microelectronic component, the sheet-like element is first bonded to an expansion ring. The expansion ring is then heated to stretch the sheet-like element. A frame ring, having an external diameter smaller than the internal diameter of the expansion ring, is then bonded to the sheet-like element. The assembly is then cooled, and the expansion ring is cut away. In another embodiment, a method is provided for bonding bond pads on a sheet-like microelectronic element to terminal pads on a microelectronic component. The microelectronic element is first placed on a rigid plate and the sheet-like element, which has been bonded to a frame ring, is placed over the microelectronic component. A disk is then placed on the sheet-like element, and force is applied to the disk, bringing the bond pads on the sheet-like element into contact with the terminal pads on the microelectronic element. Heat is then applied, forming the bonds.
摘要:
A semiconductor chip connection component having numerous leads extending side-by-side across a gap in a support structure, each lead having a frangible section to permit detachment of one end of the lead from the support structure in a bonding process. The frangible sections are formed by treating the lead-forming material in an elongated treatment zone extending across the regions occupied by numerous leads. The process avoids the need for especially fine etching to form notches in the lateral edges of the leads.
