摘要:
Electronic assemblies and their manufacture are described. One embodiment relates to a method including depositing an organic thin film layer on metal bumps on a semiconductor wafer, the organic thin film layer also being formed on a surface adjacent to the metal bumps on the wafer. The wafer is diced into a plurality of semiconductor die structures, the die structures including the organic thin film layer. The semiconductor die structures are attached to substrates, wherein the attaching includes forming a solder bond between the metal bumps on a die structure and bonding pads on a substrate, and wherein the solder bond extends through the organic thin film layer. The organic thin film layer is then exposed to a plasma. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Methods/structures of joining package structures are described. Those methods/structures may include forming a metal formate on a surface of a first solder interconnect structure disposed on a first package substrate at a first temperature, and attaching a second solder interconnect structure disposed on a second package substrate to the first solder interconnect structure at a second temperature. The second temperature decomposes at least a portion of the metal formate and generates a hydrogen gas. The generated hydrogen gas removes an oxide from the second solder interconnect structure during joint formation at the second temperature.

An apparatus is described that includes a substrate and a mold compound disposed on the substrate. The semiconductor die is embedded within the mold compound and is electrically coupled to lands on the substrate. Solder balls are disposed around the semiconductor die on the substrate. Each of the solder balls have a solid coating thereon. The solid coating contains a cleaning agent to promote its solder ball's coalescence with another solder ball. Respective vias are formed in the mold compound that expose the solder balls and their respective solid coatings. In combined or alternate embodiments outer edges of the mold compound have smaller thickness than regions of the mold compound between the vias and the semiconductor die. In combined or alternate embodiments micro-channels exist between the solder balls and the mold compound.

A method includes identifying a wafer position for a plurality of die on a wafer, storing the wafer position for each of the plurality of die in a database, dicing the wafer into a plurality of singulated die, positioning each of the singulated die in a die position location on a tray, and storing the die position on the tray for each of the singulated die in the database. The database includes information including the wafer position associated with each die position. The tray is transported to a processing tool, and at least one of the plurality of singulated die is removed from the die position on the tray and processed in the processing tool. The processed singulated die is replaced in the same defined location on the tray that the singulated die was positioned in prior to the processing. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

In accordance with one embodiment, a stress buffer (40) is formed between a power metal structure (90) and passivation layer (30). The stress buffer (40) reduces the effects of stress imparted upon the passivation layer (30) by the power metal structure (90). In accordance with an alternative embodiment, a power metal structure (130A) is partitioned into segments (1091), whereby electrical continuity is maintained between the segments (1090) by remaining portions of a seed layer (1052) and adhesion/barrier layer (1050). The individual segments (1090) impart a lower peak stress than a comparably sized continuous power metal structure (9).

Techniques are disclosed for protecting a surface using a dry-removable protective coating that does not require chemical solutions to be removed. In an embodiment, a protective layer is disposed on a surface. The protective layer is composed of one layer that adheres to the surface. The surface is then processed while the protective coating is on the surface. Thereafter, the protective layer is removed from the surface by separating the protective layer away from the surface without the use of chemical solutions.
摘要:
A microelectronic package includes a substrate (110, 210), an interposer (120, 220) having a first surface (121) and an opposing second surface (122), a microelectronic die (130, 230) attached to the substrate, and a mold compound (140) over the substrate. The interposer is electrically connected to the substrate using a wirebond (150). The first surface of the interposer is physically connected to the substrate with an adhesive (160), and the second surface has an electrically conductive contact (126) formed therein. The mold compound completely encapsulates the wirebond and partially encapsulates the interposer such that the electrically conductive contact in the second surface of the interposer remains uncovered by the mold compound.
