摘要:
A plurality of separate semiconductor chips, each having a contact-bearing surface and contacts on such surface, are disposed in an array so that the contact-bearing surfaces face and define a first surface of the array. A flexible, dielectric sheet with terminals thereon overlies the first or contact bearing surface of the semiconductor chips. Elongated leads are disposed between the dielectric element and the semiconductor chips. Each lead has a first end connected to a terminal on the dielectric element, and a second end connected to a contact on a semiconductor chip in the array. All of the leads are formed simultaneously by moving the dielectric element and the array relative to one another to simultaneously displace all of the first ends of the leads relative to all of the second ends. The dielectric element is subdivided after the forming step so as to leave one region of the dielectric element connected to each chip and thereby form individual units each including one chip, or a small number of chips.

A method of making a microelectronic package includes providing first and second microelectronic elements having electrically conductive parts and disposing a resilient element having one or more intermediary layers capable of being wetted by an adhesive between the microelectronic elements. The resilient element includes fibrous material, a fibrous matrix and/or voids formed at the intermediary layers thereof. An adhesive is provided between the intermediary layers and the microelectronic elements. The adhesive is then cured while it remains in contact with the intermediary layers for bonding the resilient element and the microelectronic elements. The electrically conductive parts are then bonded together to form electrical interconnections. A microelectronic package comprising a resilient element including one or more intermediary layers capable of being wetted by an adhesive is also provided.

A method of making a microelectronic assembly includes providing a starting subassembly having a microelectronic component with a top surface and having electrical contacts, the subassembly further including a plurality of terminals over the top surface of the component, each terminal being connected to at least one contact of the component but moveable with respect to the component; positioning a plurality of joining units each having a solid core on the terminal; providing a unit bonding material at interfaces between each core terminal; and bonding the joining units to the terminals by heating the joining units and terminals so as to convert the unit bonding material to a liquid phase without melting the cores and solidifying the unit bonding material.

A semiconductor chip connection component is provided with an adhesive, desirably in a solid, non-tacky condition on its bottom surface. The adhesive may be present in a pattern covering less than all of the component bottom surface, so as to provide a void-free interface when the adhesive bonds the component to the top surface of a chip. The adhesive desirably is brought to a flowable condition by heat transferred from the chip itself. The connection component may include leads having base metal strips in a trace area underlying the top surface and noble metal portions protruding beyond an edge of the top layer. A flowable, curable material encapsulates the base metal sections. Because the base metal sections desirably are free of undercuts, the same can be encapsulated in a void-free manner during formation of the component.

Semiconductor chip assemblies are fabricated by providing a wafer having a plurality of semiconductor chips and providing a sheet separate from the wafer having a plurality of dielectric elements. Each chip has a plurality of contacts and each dielectric element has a plurality of terminal formed thereon. The sheet and the wafer are then assembled so that the terminals on the dielectric elements face away from the wafer and so that each chip is associated with a dielectric element. The contacts on each chip are connected to the terminals on a dielectric element associated with the chip. The individual dialectic elements are then severed from the sheet and the individual chips are severed from the wafer after the assembling and connecting step to provide subassemblies, each subassembly including a chip and the dielectric element associated with the chip. In another embodiment, a plurality of individual dielectric elements separate from one another and separate from a wafer are provided.

A microelectronic component such as a semiconductor chip having electrical contacts is provided with terminals, the terminals being movable relative to the component. A joining unit having a solid core is disposed on each terminal and extends upwardly, away from the component. Each unit includes a bonding material such as a solder bonding the terminal and the solid core, the bonding material desirably defining a waist or narrow section spaced above the terminal, the waist having a curved surface forming a stress-relieving fillet. The joining units are bonded to contact pads of a substrate such as a circuit panel as by bonding the solder of the joining units to the terminals, or by means of a further solder on the contact pads having a lower melting point. The assembly provides substantial resistance to mechanical stress caused by thermal expansion. Preferably, the terminals are movable in vertical directions towards the component to compensate for nonplanarity during assembly.

A semiconductor chip assembly is mounted to contact pads in a compact area array. An interposer is disposed between the chip and the substrate. The contacts on the chip are connected to terminals on the interposer by flexible leads extending through apertures in the interposer. The terminals on the interposer in turn are bonded to the contact pads on the substrate. Flexibility of the leads permits relative movement of the contacts on the chip relative to the terminals and the contact pads of the substrate and hence relieves the stresses caused by differential thermal expansion. The arrangement provides a compact structure similar to that achieved through flip-chip bonding, but with markedly increased resistance to thermal cycling damage.

摘要:
An imaging system for detecting recombination center defects in a semiconductor wafer in which an oxidized wafer is pre-treated by charging the oxide in a corona discharge and then passing the charged wafer below a stationary bifurcated electrode. A focused laser beam is scanned between the arms of the bifurcated electrode and along its length as the wafer is slowly moved transversely to the direction of laser scanning. The signal from the bifurcated electrode is displayed in an imaging system, one axis of which is synchronized to the laser scanning and the other axis is synchronized to the movement of the wafer.
摘要:
An optical storage medium incorporates stacked servo and data layers with the pattern of the servo layer being prepared prior to preparation of the data layer. The servo pattern comprises an undulation in a very thin film of high optical index material on the surface of the substrate of the medium. The undulating layer containing the servo pattern is separated from the active layer of the medium by a thin dielectric spacer film. The data layer is employed for formation of vesicular, or ablative or other marks forming surface discontinuities formed by any of the usual pit forming techniques. The preformatted servo information formed in the servo layer as buried undulations in the thin film is read out in amplitude or phase contrast. The thin undulating layer is of a significantly different index of refraction from the substrate and the next intervening layer. This layer can be transparent or semi-transparent. A smoothing layer is then applied over the phase-contrast layer to reduce any undulations at the top surface on which the active layer is formed. The amount of energy absorbed by the active layer of the structure is optimized for the data recording wavelength by choice of thickness of the smoothing layer.
