摘要:
A reversible thermal thickening grease for microelectronic packages, in which the grease contains filler particles; at least one polymer; and a binder; in which the filler particles are dispersed within the binder, in which one or more segments of the at least one polymer may be attached to the filler particles prior to dispersion in the binder, and in which the polymer collapses at temperatures below a Theta temperature and swells at temperatures above a Theta temperature. During the operation of a microelectronic package, grease pump-out and air proliferation are minimized with use of the reversible thermal thickening grease, while grease fluidity is retained under repetitive thermal stresses.
摘要:
Methods for fabricating microelectronic interconnection structures as well as the structures formed by the methods are disclosed which improve the manufacturing throughput for assembling flip chip semiconductor devices. The use of a bilayer of polymeric materials applied on the wafer prior to dicing eliminates the need for dispensing and curing underfill for each semiconductor at the package level, thereby improving manufacturing throughput and reducing cost.
摘要:
A solid state chain extension method provides for the formation of a solid state film comprised of a high molecular weight polymer by chain extending a deblocked Lewis base with Lewis acid oligomers while the reactants are in a solid state form. In one embodiment, a negative resist is prepared by selectively exposing regions of the solid state film. The Lewis base is deblocked at the exposed regions by a suitable deblocking means. The Lewis acid oligomers and the deblocked Lewis base chain extend at the exposed regions. Development of the film removes the non-polymerized reactants. Optionally, the Lewis acid oligomers, when radiation-cross-linking, are cross-linked with one another prior to deblocking the Lewis base to form a negative resist. The cross-linked oligomers polymerize with the subsequently deblocked base to provide a high molecular weight polymer film. In an alternative embodiment, a positive resist is used by degrading and removing photo-sensitive Lewis acid oligomers using selective exposure lithography techniques and, subsequently, deblocking the Lewis base and chain extending the remaining oligomers with the deblocked Lewis base at the unexposed regions.

摘要:
A method of manufacturing a thermal paste, in which the method includes feeding the thermal paste into a chamber of an extruder; mixing the thermal paste at elevated temperatures; de-airing the thermal paste; and extruding the thermal paste out of the chamber through a die as a pre-form or into a cartridge, such that air channels and pseudo-grain boundaries are prevented from forming in the thermal paste.
摘要:
A physically secure processing assembly is provided that includes dies mounted on a substrate so as to sandwich the electrical contacts of the dies between the dies and the substrate. The substrate is provided with substrate contacts and conductive pathways that are electrically coupled to the die contacts and extend through the substrate. Electrical conductors surround the conductive pathways. A monitoring circuit detects a break in continuity of one or more of the electrical conductors, and preferably renders the assembly inoperable. Preferably, an epoxy encapsulation is provided to prevent probing tools from being able to reach the die or substrate contacts.

Embodiments of the present invention provide a system and method for manufacturing integrated circuit (IC) chip packages. In one embodiment, the integrated circuit (IC) chip package can include an IC chip and a substrate coupled to the IC chip. The substrate can include a glass fiber re-enforced epoxy core, a plurality copper circuitry containing particle re-enforced epoxy layers symmetrically-oriented to each surface of the glass fiber re-enforced epoxy core, and an outermost amorphous glass layer on each surface of the plurality of layers. The IC chip can be coupled to copper circuitry bonded to one of the outermost amorphous glass layers.

A process of fabricating wafer-level underfilled microelectronic packages using over-bump application of a self-fluxing resin to a wafer, b-staging of the resin, dicing of the coated wafer, and joining the diced chips to substrates producing wafer-level underfilled microelectronic flip-chip packages. Moreover, provided are microelectronic packages, which are produced in accordance with the inventive process.
