Abstract:
A method of forming a bump structure includes providing a first work piece including a dielectric layer having a top surface; placing a second work piece facing the first work piece; placing a heating tool contacting the second work piece; and heating the second work piece using the heating tool to perform a reflow process. A first solder bump between the first and the second work pieces is melted to form a second solder bump. Before the second solder bump solidifies, pulling the second work piece away from the first work piece, until an angle formed between a tangent line of the second solder bump and the top surface of the dielectric layer is greater than about 50 degrees, wherein the tangent line is drawn at a point where the second solder bump joins the dielectric layer.

Abstract:
A system and method for packaging semiconductor dies is provided. An embodiment comprises a first package with a first contact and a second contact. A post-contact material is formed on the first contact in order to adjust the height of a joint between the contact pad a conductive bump. In another embodiment a conductive pillar is utilized to control the height of the joint between the contact pad and external connections.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a tool arrangement and method to reduce warpage within a package-on-package semiconductor structure, while minimizing void formation within an electrically-insulating adhesive which couples the packages. A pressure generator and a variable frequency microwave source are coupled to a process chamber which encapsulates a package-on-package semiconductor structure. The package-on-package semiconductor structure is simultaneously heated by the variable frequency microwave source at variable frequency, variable temperature, and variable duration and exposed to an elevated pressure by the pressure generator. This combination for microwave heating and elevated pressure limits the amount of warpage introduced while preventing void formation within an electrically-insulating adhesive which couples the substrates of the package-on-package semiconductor structure.
Abstract:
A method includes dispensing an underfill between a first package component and a second package component, wherein the first package component is placed on a lower jig, and the second package component is over and bonded to the first package component. A through-opening is in the lower jig and under the first package component. The underfill is cured, wherein during the step of curing the underfill, a force is applied to flatten the first package component. The force is applied by performing an action selected from the group consisting of vacuuming and air blowing through the through-opening.
Abstract:
A method includes loading a first package component on a concave boat, and placing a second package component over the first package component. A load clamp is placed over the second package component, wherein the load clamp is supported by a temperature-variable spacer of the concave boat. A reflow step is performed to bond the second package component to the first package component. During a temperature-elevation step of the reflow step, the temperature-variable spacer is softened in response to an increase in temperature, and a height of the softened temperature-variable spacer is reduced, until the load clamp is stopped by a rigid spacer of the concave boat.
Abstract:
A flash drive and a housing assembly thereof is provided. The housing assembly comprises a housing, a base and a rotating mechanism. The housing has a first opening, a second opening, and a space, the first opening is situated at a side surface of the housing, and the second opening is situated on a top surface of the housing. The base is used for accommodating a storage device which has a connecting member, the base is movably disposed in the space and has a slot facing the second opening. The rotating mechanism is disposed at the second opening and mounted to the housing, the rotating mechanism has a protrusion portion movably engaged in the slot. When the rotating mechanism rotates relative to the housing, the protrusion portion moves along the slot and drives the base to reciprocate between a first position and a second position.
