摘要:
System and method for gas pressure stabilization. The system comprises a pressure stabilizer which is divided into a receiving chamber and a pressure chamber by a flexible membrane, a booster device, a gas divider, and a control driver that can sense movement of the flexible membrane and control the gas divider accordingly. A pressure pilot is used to set the desired pressure in the pressure chamber. The pressure of the receiving chamber will stabilize to be the same with that of the pressure chamber regardless of the gas flow change or gas pressure change at the gas source, or the pressure fluctuation in the downstream system. The gas passing the system can eventually be recycled to a recycling system in the downstream without harming the environment.

A new method is provided for the creation of a solder bump. Conventional methods are initially followed, creating a patterned layer of Under Bump Metal over the surface of a contact pad. A layer of photoresist is next deposited, this layer of photoresist is patterned and developed creating a resist mask having a T-shape opening aligned with the contact pad. This T-shaped opening is filled with a solder compound, creating a T-shaped layer of solder compound on the surface of the layer of UBM. The layer of photoresist is removed, exposing the created T-shaped layer of solder compound, further exposing the layer of UBM. The layer of UBM is etched using the T-shaped layer of solder compound as a mask. Reflow of the solder compound results in creating a solder ball.

A scribe line layout design to reduce the damage caused by sawing the wafer is presented. An embodiment comprises metal plates located within the scribe lines and at least partially within the junctions of the scribe lines. Each of these metal plates has one or more slots to help relieve the pressure. Alternatively, instead of metal plates, grooves that may be filled with metal could be placed into the scribe lines. These metal plates could also be used concurrently with a seal ring for better protection during sawing.
摘要:
A semiconductor wafer is fabricated. The wafer has a plurality of dies. The plurality of dies include at least operable dies of a first type and operable dies of a second type different from the first type. The dies of the second type are rendered inoperable, while keeping the dies of the first type operable. The wafer is provided with the operable dies of the first type and the inoperable dies of the second type on it, for testing of the dies of the first type.

A semiconductor package assembly comprises a first conductive pad on a semiconductor substrate; a second conductive pad on a package substrate; a bump physically coupled between the first conductive pad and the second conductive pad, wherein the bump is substantially lead-free or high-lead-containing; the bump has a first interface with the first conductive pad, the first interface having a first linear dimension; the bump has a second interface with the second conductive pad, the second interface having a second linear dimension; and wherein the ratio of the first linear dimension and the second linear dimension is between about 0.7 and about 1.7.
摘要:
A substrate structure comprising a substrate; a solder mask is formed over the substrate; and a metal trace structure formed within the solder mask. The metal trace structure including a channel therein for the receipt of underfill. The metal trace structure further including a central portion with arms radiating outwardly therefrom, dividing the solder mask into separate areas. A method of underfilling a chip wherein a chip having a pattern of solder bumps formed on the underside of the chip is placed underside first onto the metal trace structure of the present invention. The solder bump pattern including openings over the metal trace structure. Underfill is introduced into the metal trace structure so that the underfill flows from the metal trace structure and between the solder bumps to underfill the chip.

Disclosed are techniques that teach the replacement of the typical organic, plastic, or ceramic package substrate used in semiconductor package devices with a low-CTE package substrate. In one embodiment, a semiconductor device implementing the disclosed techniques is provided, where the device comprises an integrated circuit chip having at least one coupling component formed on an exterior surface thereof. Also, the device includes a package substrate having a mounting surface with bonding pads that are configured to receive the at least one coupling component. In such embodiments, the package substrate is selected or manufactured such that it has a coefficient of thermal expansion in a direction perpendicular to its mounting surface that is less than approximately twice a coefficient of thermal expansion along a plane parallel to its mounting surface.
