A polymer stencil is applied to the active surface of a wafer. The stencil has openings that at least partially overlay associated metallization pads on the wafer and divider strips positioned between adjacent openings. The divider strips are arranged to overlay portions of associated metallization pads so that at least two adjacent openings overlay portions of each metallization pad. After the stencil has been positioned, a solder paste is applied to the stencil openings. The solder paste may then be reflowed with the polymer stencil remaining in place. The solder naturally creeps under the stencil so that unitary solder bumps are formed on each metallization pad. The described methods and arrangements can be used to create low profile solder bumps that are not attainable using conventional solder bump formation techniques.

A package on packaging structure comprising a first package and a second package provides for improved thermal conduction and mechanical strength by the introduction of a thermally conductive substrate attached to the second package. The first package has a first substrate and a first integrated circuit. The second package has a second substrate containing through vias that has a first coefficient of thermal expansion. The second package also has a second integrated circuit having a second coefficient of thermal expansion located on the second substrate. The second coefficient of thermal expansion deviates from the first coefficient of thermal expansion by less than about 10 or less than about 5 parts-per-million per degree Celsius. A first set of conductive elements couples the first substrate and the second substrate. A second set of conductive elements couples the second substrate and the second integrated circuit.

Methods of forming solder bumps or joints using a radiation curable, thermal curable solder flux, or dual curable solder flux are disclosed. The method includes applying a liquid solder flux that is radiation curable or thermal curable to a substrate such that the solder flux covers contact pads on the substrate; placing solder balls on the contacts pads covered with the radiation curable or thermal curable solder flux; heating the substrate to join the solder balls to the contact pads, thereby forming solder bumps or solder joints; and curing the liquid solder flux by applying radiation or heat to the substrate, thereby forming a solid film. The solder flux includes radiation curable, thermally curable, or dual curable materials that aid formation of solder bumps or joints before the solder flux is cured; and are curable to form a solid material by the application of radiation or heat.
摘要:
A device includes a substrate having a front side and a backside, a through-via extending from the backside to the front side of the substrate, and a conductive pad on the backside of the substrate and over the through-via. The conductive pad has a substantially planar top surface. A conductive bump has a non-planar top surface over the substantially planar top surface and aligned to the through-via. The conductive bump and the conductive pad are formed of a same material. No interface is formed between the conductive bump and the conductive pad.

An apparatus relating generally to a substrate is disclosed. In this apparatus, a post extends from the substrate. The post includes a conductor member. An upper portion of the post extends above an upper surface of the substrate. An exterior surface of the post associated with the upper portion is in contact with a dielectric layer. The dielectric layer is disposed on the upper surface of the substrate and adjacent to the post to provide a dielectric collar for the post. An exterior surface of the dielectric collar is in contact with a conductor layer. The conductor layer is disposed adjacent to the dielectric collar to provide a metal collar for the post, where a top surface of each of the conductor member, the dielectric collar and the metal collar have formed thereon a bond structure for interconnection of the metal collar and the conductor member.
