摘要:
A method of forming a membrane for use in conjunction with a semiconductor carrier and the membrane which includes an electrically insulating substrate and an interconnect pattern formed on the substrate. A stud is coupled to the interconnect pattern over the substrate by forming a gold ball, preferably by gold ball bonding techniques, and coating a portion of the gold ball with a compliant material, preferably an epoxy resin. The coating is filled with a material having sufficient hardness to be capable of penetrating the oxide film on the contact pads of semiconductor devices. The flakes are preferably silver or silver-based.

An apparatus for testing a semiconductor die and the method wherein there is provided a package having a cavity therein with a plurality of terminals in the package disposed at the periphery of the cavity. A semiconductor die to be tested and having a plurality of bond pads thereon is disposed in the cavity and an interconnecting layer having electrically conductive paths thereon is also disposed in the cavity, each of the paths having first and second spaced apart regions thereon, the first region of each path being aligned with and contacting a bond pad. An interconnection is provided between the second spaced apart region of each of the paths and one of the plurality of terminals. The second spaced apart region of each of the paths is preferably a bump aligned with and contacting one of the plurality of terminals. A compliant layer is preferably disposed over the interconnecting layer and provides a force causing engagement of at least the first spaced apart regions and the bond pads. The first region is preferably a compliant bump probe tip having a first predetermined height above the layer and includes a standoff on the layer having a second predetermined height above the layer less than the first height.
摘要:
A method of transferring a semiconductor die from a wafer containing a plurality of semiconductor dice. There is provided a semiconductor wafer having a top side and an opposing bottom side and a plurality of dice formed therein, each die containing a portion of the top side and the opposing bottom side. The wafer is removably secured to a support and the wafer is operated upon to form individual dice on the support. The support is preferably a flexible film. A tool is disposed between the support and the bottom side of a the die by creating a vacuum between the tool and the bottom side to cause adherence of the die to the tool and the die is removed from the support with the tool and placed in a die carrier with the top side facing the carrier and the vacuum is then released. The film, when flexible, is stretched to separate the dice from each other and create streets between adjacent dice so that the tool can be disposed under the die from the street. The tool preferably includes an inclined surface with a port exiting at the surface extending through and out of the tool, the vacuum being created at the port and the inclined surface contacting the bottom side of the die. Prior to operation with the tool, a lifting member can impinge against the die bottom through the support to separate a portion of the die from the support, the tool entering beneath the die at the portion of the die removed from the support. The carrier preferably includes a carrier base having a plurality of vacuum ports and an air transmissive lint-free layer over the vacuum ports with the top side of the die abutting the lint-free layer, the die being disposed over one of the vacuum ports.
