Abstract:
A die-bonding method is suitable for die-bonding a LED chip having a first metal thin-film layer to a substrate. The method includes forming a second metal thin film layer on a surface of the substrate; forming a die-bonding material layer on the second metal thin film layer; placing the LED chip on the die-bonding material layer with the first metal thin film layer contacting the die-bonding material layer; heating the die-bonding material layer at a liquid -solid reaction temperature for a pre-curing time, so as to form a first intermetallic layer and a second intermetallic layer; and heating the die-bonding material layer at a solid-solid reaction temperature for a curing time for performing a solid-solid reaction. The liquid-solid reaction temperature and the solid-solid reaction temperature are both lower than 110° C., and a melting point of the first and second intermetallic layers after the solid-solid reaction is higher than 200° C.
Abstract:

Abstract:
A structure comprises a post passivation interconnect layer formed over a semiconductor substrate, a metal bump formed over the post passivation interconnect layer and a molding compound layer formed over the semiconductor substrate. A lower portion of the metal bump is embedded in the molding compound layer and a middle portion of the metal bump is surrounded by a concave meniscus molding compound protection layer.
Abstract:
A method includes placing a first package component over a vacuum boat, wherein the vacuum boat comprises a hole, and wherein the first package component covers the hole. A second package component is placed over the first package component, wherein solder regions are disposed between the first and the second package components. The hole is vacuumed, wherein the first package component is pressed by a pressure against the vacuum boat, and wherein the pressure is generated by a vacuum in the hole. When the vacuum in the hole is maintained, the solder regions are reflowed to bond the second package component to the first package component.
Abstract:
A method of packaging includes placing a package component over a release film, wherein solder balls on a surface of the package component are in physical contact with the release film. Next, A molding compound filled between the release film and the package component is cured, wherein during the step of curing, the solder balls remain in physical contact with the release film.
Abstract:
A method includes forming a passivation layer over a metal pad, which is overlying a semiconductor substrate. A first opening is formed in the passivation layer, with a portion of the metal pad exposed through the first opening. A seed layer is formed over the passivation layer and to electrically coupled to the metal pad. The seed layer further includes a portion over the passivation layer. A first mask is formed over the seed layer, wherein the first mask has a second opening directly over at least a portion of the metal pad. A PPI is formed over the seed layer and in the second opening. A second mask is formed over the first mask, with a third opening formed in the second mask. A portion of a metal bump is formed in the third opening. After the step of forming the portion of the metal bump, the first and the second masks are removed.
Abstract:
A fine pitch package-on-package (PoP), and a method of forming, are provided. The PoP may be formed by placing connections, e.g., solder balls, on a first substrate having a semiconductor die attached thereto. A first reflow process is performed to elongate the solder balls. Thereafter, a second substrate having another semiconductor die attached thereto is connected to the solder balls. A second reflow process is performed to form an hourglass connection.

Abstract:
A system and method for forming metal bumps is provided. An embodiment comprises attaching conductive material to a carrier medium and then contacting the conductive material to conductive regions of a substrate. Portions of the conductive material are then bonded to the conductive regions using a bonding process to form conductive caps on the conductive regions, and residual conductive material and the carrier medium are removed. A reflow process is used to reflow the conductive caps into conductive bumps.
