摘要:
A method and apparatus for loading solder balls into a mold. Solder balls are loaded into a reservoir having multiple exit ports. A removable mold is fitted into the apparatus and the reservoir is passed across the top of the mold while solder balls are fed into cavities in the mold. After the reservoir has advanced across the mold and the mold cavities are filled with solder balls, the reservoir is reset as a roller is simultaneously guided across the mold to seat the solder balls firmly within the mold. Alternatively, the roller may be applied to the solder balls while the reservoir advances across the mold, or both as the the reservoir is advanced and when it is returned to its original position.

A system for burn-in testing of integrated circuits employs a cooling module with an aperture that accommodates a standard size holder for various chips, the holder being placed in the mouth of the aperture, in contact with a flexible seal. When the module is raised to make contact from below with a socket on a test board, the seal confines the cooling fluid and contacts on the upper surface of the holder are pressed against a set of corresponding contacts on the test board.

Preferred embodiments for methods of removing an integrated circuit (“IC”) from a substrate, where the IC is attached to the substrate by multiple solder connections are disclosed. One preferred embodiment of the inventive methods provides the steps of heating the IC and substrate to the reflow temperature for the solder connections and pulling the IC from the substrate by means of a vacuum force. Another preferred embodiment of the inventive method provides the step of shearing the IC from the substrate after the substrate and IC are heated, but before solder reflow temperature has been reached, and where the shearing force may be programmed through a computer controlled servomotor. Preferred embodiments of certain apparatus applying the inventive methods for removing an integrated circuit from a substrate are also disclosed. One preferred embodiment of the inventive apparatus includes a vented pallet to hold the substrate and IC and through which the vacuum force is applied to pull the IC from the substrate without the use of physical clamping or contact forces applied to the substrate or IC. In a further preferred embodiment of the inventive apparatus, shear elements are provided and used with a programmable servomotor for precisely controlling the forces applied to the substrate and IC as a function of time, temperature and translational distance.

A method for joining a multiplicity of multi-alloy solder columns to an electronic substrate and the structure formed by such method are disclosed. In the method, a mold plate equipped with a multiplicity of cavities is first filled by an injection molded solder technique with a high temperature solder forming a multiplicity of solder columns. The mold plate is then sandwiched between an extraction plate and a transfer plate by utilizing a multiplicity of displacement means equipped in the extraction plate to displace the multiplicity of solder columns from the mold plate into a multiplicity of apertures equipped in the transfer plate. The multiplicity of cavities in the transfer plate each has a straight opening and a flared opening. The flared opening is then filled with a low temperature solder paste to encapsulate one end of the high temperature solder column. The low temperature solder paste is then reflown on top of a conductive pad on an electronic substrate at a temperature lower than the melting temperature of the high temperature solder to form a bond between the solder column and the conductive pad.

A method and structure is disclosed for detaching a chip from a substrate that delays the delivery of shear force to the chip until the connectors attaching the chip to the substrate are soft enough that the delivery of shear force will not damage the chip's connectors. More particularly, the shear force is created by a bimetallic disk that, when heat is applied, is transformed into shearing force. The shearing force is delayed by a delaying device until the connectors connecting the chip to the substrate are soft enough that the application of shear force will separate the chip from the substrate without damaging the chip's connectors. The delaying device includes a physical gap that may be adjusted to control when the shear force is applied to the chip.

A solder feeding device having a reservoir, a drive unit, a first lead, and a second lead is provided. The reservoir melts solid solder wire into molten solder, while the drive unit selectively feeds the solid solder wire into the reservoir. The first and second leads are in electrical communication with the drive unit. The first lead is positioned in the reservoir so that it electrically communicates with the second lead through the molten solder when the molten solder reaches a triggering level, but so that it does not electrically communicate with the second lead when the level is below the triggering level. The drive unit feeds the solid solder wire into the reservoir based upon a state of electrical communication between the first and second leads.
摘要:
Disclosed is a solder injection mold apparatus and method for providing solder balls to a printed circuit board substrate using the solder injection mold apparatus in the plastic ball grid array (PBGA). The solder mold through holes are chamfered at entry and at exit ends to assist in receipt of molten solder and the formation and transfer of solder balls to lands on the substrate. A blind recess is provided in the second major surface of the mold, i.e. the side facing the substrate, in order to accommodate electronic components mounted thereon. Solder balls are delivered and metallurgically affixed to the lands in a process that requires only one reflow, leaving the through holes clean of solder and the mold ready for reuse. The material of which the substrate, mold and base plate are comprised is selected to be non-wettable by solder and mutually compatible with respect to CTE when exposed to temperatures of molten solder.

摘要:
A method and apparatus for separating a chip from substrate where the chip is attached to the substrate by solder connections to form an assembly involve applying a loading force to drive a coil spring biased shearing element comprising a slide block with carrying a shearing blade into a loading position. Load the assembly of the substrate and the chip into a fixture with a window therethrough for the chip with the shearing blade in contact with the chip. Remove the loading force to arm the shearing blade to apply a shearing force from the shearing blade to the chip. Heat the solder connections of the assembly in the fixture to a predetermined temperature, preferably below the melting temperature of the solder at which shearing of the solder connections occurs. The shearing blade comprises a slidable plastic blade backed up by a metal blade. The shearing blades are affixed to a the slide block that is connected by a linkage to a coil spring which applies the biasing force thereto and which provides a nest for catching a chip which has been sheared away from a substrate.
