Various method and apparatus for packaging an integrated circuit are provided. In one aspect, a method of packaging an integrated circuit is provided that includes coupling an integrated circuit to a substrate, mixing an adhesive with a plurality of particles, and coupling a lid to the substrate with the adhesive. At least a portion of the plurality of particles in the adhesive oppose compressive force from the lid to restrict rotation of the lid relative to the substrate.

A method and apparatus are provided for controllably dispensing flux on a substrate having a plurality of conductive terminals. Flux having a viscosity range between 10 centipoises and about 150 centipoises is sprayed on the substrate and the conductive terminals at a valve pressure range between about 1.5 psi and about 30 psi via a dispense nozzle of a flux dispenser. Upon a subsequent high temperature solder reflow process, the sprayed flux on the substrate is mostly removed by thermal decomposition to volatile species, thereby significantly reducing flux residue remaining on the surface of the substrate between the conductive terminals.

A method of fabricating laminate assemblies determines the ideal weight (W) of underfill to be dispensed, based on the size of the semiconductor die and the gap between the die and the laminate substrate. Underfill is dispensed in a single step in an amount between 1.1W and 1.3W to form fillets that cover at least 15% of the height of the semiconductor die on all four sides of the die. The amount of underfill ensures that the fillet coverage imbalance is 30% or less for each of the pairs of opposing sides of the die, thereby improving solder joint reliability.

A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device by attaching a flip chip die to an organic substrate using solder comprises applying no-clean flux to the flip chip die or the organic substrate; heating the flip chip die and the organic substrate to bond the flip chip die to the organic substrate, and cooling the flip chip die and the organic substrate. The step of heating the flux includes controlling oxygen and moisture content of an atmosphere surrounding the flux, preheating to a temperature of about 145° C. to about 165° C., soaking at a temperature of about 145° C. to about 165° C. for about four to about six minutes, and reflowing above the solder's melting point.

A boat is formed with a plurality of through-holes sized to securely maintain ceramic or organic flip chip semiconductor packages in place during assembly. Embodiments comprises a boat having a bottom layer with an array of four-sided through-holes and a top layer with an array of through-holes and tabs extending from the sides of the through-hole. Embodiments further include a boat having a bottom layer with through-holes smaller than substantially aligned overlying through-holes in the top layer, the substantially aligned through-holes forming flip chip package holding pockets. An alignment mechanism ensures that components are accurately positioned on flip chip packages held in the boat during assembly.

Detection of flux residue remaining the formation of a device/substrate assembly is carried out by contacting the assembly with a fixed amount of solvent adapted to remove residual flux from the assembly and measuring the conductivity or resistance of the contacted solvent to determine the presence of flux residue in the solvent obtained from the assembly. Embodiments include contacting the assembly with isopropanol by immersing and withdrawing the assembly in a fixed amount of the solvent and measuring the conductivity of the contacted solvent with a volt meter.

An organic carrier member for mounting a semiconductor device is provided that has a plurality of pin leads joined to conductive pads on the carrier member by a solder fillet having a reflow temperature higher than the temperature necessary to attach the semiconductor device. Embodiments include a bismaleimide-triazine epoxy laminate carrier member having an array of pins joined to the carrier member by a solder fillet having a reflow temperature of no greater than 275° C.

The present invention provides a method for producing multilayered ceramic structures having copper-based conductors therein, wherein the onset of sintering of the copper-based conductor can be adjusted to approach or match that of the ceramic portion of the structure. In addition, methods are provided whereby the polymeric binder resin used in formation of the ceramic portion of the structure can be removed or burned-off, using oxygen-containing ambients, wherein the oxygen content is greater than 200 ppm, without oxidation of the copper-based conductors therein.
摘要:
In the process of braze attachment of electronic package members, such as attaching metallic coated connector pins to a multilayer ceramic substrate, contact areas of the substrate are formed by sequential coatings of molybdenum and nickel, which are heated to diffuse the nickel. A pure gold paste is applied by screen printing, for example, followed by the step of firing to burn out the paste binder and to sinter the pure gold particles onto a dense low porosity structure. The sintering operation converts the Ni film into a continuous Au-Ni solid solution. During pin braze, Ni-Sn intermetallics are dispersed in a gold rich matrix of the Au-Ni solid solution.
摘要:
Sintering of metal particles at their normal sintering temperature is inhibited by coating the metal particles with an organic material such as polyvinyl butyral, polyvinyl formvar, polyvinyl alcohol, polyacrylonitrile epoxies, urethanes and cross-linked polyvinyl butyral. The organic coating serves as a barrier preventing physical contact between metal particles during the initial phase of the sintering cycle and degrades into a carbonaceous coating followed by volatilization during the intermediate phase of the cycle permitting coalescence of the metal particles into a dense mass along with the coalescence of the glass-ceramic particles. Co-sintering of the metal particles and the glass-ceramic particles with the aid of the organic coating results in a hermetic multi-layer glass ceramic substrate free of dimensional stability problems without deleteriously affecting the electrical conductivity of the metal conductor pattern.
