Abstract:
In a flip chip mounted body in which a semiconductor chip (20) having a plurality of electrode terminals (21) is disposed so as to be opposed to a wiring board (10) having a plurality of connection terminals (11), with the connection terminals (11) and the electrode terminals (21) being connected electrically, a resin (13) containing electrically conductive particles (12) is supplied between the connection terminals (11) and the electrode terminals (21), the electrically conductive particles (12) and the resin (13) are heated and melted, and vibrations are applied so as to make them flow. The molten electrically conductive particles (12) are allowed to self-assemble between the connection terminals (11) and the electrode terminals (21), thereby forming connectors (22) that connect them electrically. It becomes more likely that the molten electrically conductive particles in the resin contact the connection terminals or the electrode terminals, whereby the molten electrically conductive particles self-assemble between the electrode terminals and the connection terminals that have a high wettability, making it possible to form connectors for establishing an electric connection between these terminals in a uniform manner.

Abstract:
A flip chip mounting method which is applicable to the flip chip mounting of a next-generation LSI and high in productivity and reliability as well as a bump forming method are provided. After a resin 14 containing a solder powder 16 and a gas bubble generating agent is supplied to a space between a circuit board 21 having a plurality of connecting terminals 11 and a semiconductor chip 20 having a plurality of electrode terminals 12, the resin 14 is heated to generate gas bubbles 30 from the gas bubble generating agent contained in the resin 14. The resin 14 is pushed toward the outside of the generated gas bubbles 30 by the growth thereof and self-assembled between the connecting terminals 11 and the electrode terminals 12. By further heating the resin 14 and melting the solder powder 16 contained in the resin 14 self-assembled between the terminals, connectors 22 are formed between the terminals to complete a flip chip mounting body.

Abstract:
There is provided a composition that is suitably used for a flip chip mounting process or a bump-forming process. The composition comprises a first component 3a, a second component 3b, metal particles 1,1′ and a convection additive. The metal particles 1,1′ are dispersed in the second component 3b. The convection additive is contained in the second component 3b. The first component 3a is contained in an interior of at least one particle 1. When such at least one metal particle 1 melts upon heating, the first component 3a comes in contact with the second component 3b to form a thermoset resin 3c. The convection additive is capable of generating a gas upon heating, so that the gas provides a convection effect in the composition.
Abstract:
There is provided a process for forming bumps wherein a plurality of fine bumps are uniformly formed with high productivity. In this process, a resin (13) comprising solder powder and a convection additive (12) is supplied onto a substrate (10) having a plurality of electrodes (11) thereon. And subsequently the substrate (10) is heated to a temperature that enables the solder powder to melt while keeping a flat plate (14) in contact with a surface of the supplied resin (13). During this heating step, the molten solder powder is allowed to self-assemble onto the electrodes (11) so that a plurality of solder balls resulting from the grown molten solder powder are concurrently formed on the electrodes (11) in self-alignment manner. Finally, by moving the flat plate (14) away from the surface of the supplied resin (13), followed by removing such resin (13), there is provided the substrate (10) wherein the bumps (16) are formed on the plurality of the electrodes.
Abstract:
Apparatus for placing conductive spheres on prefluxed bond pads of a substrate using a stencil plate with a pattern of through-holes positioned over the bond pads. Conductive spheres are placed in the through-holes by a moving feed mechanism and the spheres drop through the through-holes onto the bond pads. In one embodiment, the feed mechanism is a sphere hopper which crosses the entire through-hole pattern. In another embodiment, a shuttle plate fed spheres from a reservoir and reversibly moves about one-half of the pitch, moving from a non-discharge position to a discharge position.
Abstract:
A method of bonding two elements such as wafers used in microelectronics applications is disclosed. One inventive aspect relates to a method for bonding comprising producing on a first main surface of a first element a first solder ball, producing on a first main surface of a second element a second solder ball, providing contact between the first solder ball and the second solder ball, bonding the first element and the second element by applying a reflow act whereby the solder balls melt and form a joined solder ball structure. Prior to the bonding, the first solder ball is laterally embedded in a nonconductive material, such that the upper part of the first solder ball is not covered by the non-conductive material. Devices related to such methods are also disclosed.
