Abstract:
A method of interconnecting semiconductor devices by using capillary motion, thereby simplifying fabricating operations, reducing fabricating costs, and simultaneously filling of through-silicon-vias (TSVs) and interconnecting semiconductor devices. The method includes preparing a first semiconductor device in which first TSVs are formed, positioning solder balls respectively on the first TSVs, performing a back-lap operation on the first semiconductor device, positioning a second semiconductor device, in which second TSVs are formed, above the first semiconductor device on which the solder balls are positioned, and performing a reflow operation such that the solder balls fill the first and second TSVs due to capillary motion.
Abstract:
An internal cooling apparatus for automobiles includes a first expansion valve for spraying a coolant to a main evaporator through a high-pressure pipe, a compressor receiving the coolant evaporated in the main evaporator through a low-pressure pipe, a condenser receiving the coolant compressed in the compressor, and a plurality of sub-evaporators each being installed inside of a seat to contact an automobile passenger. One end of each of the sub-evaporators is communicated with the high-pressure pipe and the other end thereof is communicated with the low-pressure pipe such that part of the coolant sprayed through the first expansion valve is supplied to the compressor via each of the sub-evaporators.
Abstract:
A mounting substrate includes a substrate, a bonding pad and an induction heating pad. The bonding pad is formed on the substrate, and adhered to a solder ball to mount a semiconductor chip on the substrate. The induction heating pad is disposed adjacent to the bonding pad, the induction heating pad being induction heated by an applied alternating magnetic field to reflow the solder ball. The induction heating pad having a diameter greater than a skin depth in response to the frequency of the applied alternating magnetic field is selectively induction heated in response to a low frequency band of the alternating magnetic field. Accordingly, during a reflow process for a solder ball, the semiconductor chip may be mounted on the mounting substrate to complete a semiconductor package without damaging the mounting substrate, to thereby improve the reliability of the completed semiconductor package.

An assembling apparatus includes a chip transfer unit, a heating unit, a testing unit, and an output unit. The chip transfer unit mounts first semiconductor chip to a circuit board to form an electrical circuit. The heating unit heats a solder connection to electrically connect the semiconductor chip to the circuit board. The testing unit tests the semiconductor chip, and, when the testing unit determines that the first semiconductor chip is not functioning properly, the heating unit reheats the solder connection to remove the non-functioning semiconductor chip from the circuit board.
