Abstract:
A solder-flux composition is sprayed onto a substrate by rotating the solder-flux composition inside a spray cap, and before the solder-flux liquid exits the spray cap, perturbing the flow thereof with a fluid.
Abstract:
A method, system, and apparatus, the apparatus including a metal layer on silicon, photo-resist material disposed on the metal layer, a bump pad reservoir adjacent to the metal layer, a quantity of interconnect metal disposed in the bump pad reservoir, and a resist opening in resist material disposed on a surface of the bump metal and adjacent the interconnect metal. The resist opening may be wider at an open end thereof than at an end in contact with the interconnect metal.
Abstract:
A method, apparatus and system with a semiconductor package including a thermal interface material dam enclosing a volume of thermal interface material.
Abstract:
This disclosure relates generally to a system and method including a substrate and an electronic component. The substrate includes a circuit board including a hole, a routing layer, and a first interconnect portion positioned, at least in part, within the hole. The electronic component includes a second interconnect portion, coupled to the first interconnect portion, forming an interconnect between the electronic component and the routing layer.

Abstract:
Methods and apparatus to improve flux spray atomization and/or splash control are described. In one embodiment, a flux nozzle includes a plurality of injection holes to deposit flux fluid through an exit hole of an air cap onto a substrate (such as a printed circuit board). The flux fluid may atomize prior to deposition onto the substrate as relatively smaller broken down flux droplets that may aid reduced spray splash. Other embodiments are also described.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for mounting semiconductor die and integral heat spreader are disclosed. In one embodiment, thermal expansion of the integral heat spreader is restricted by physical constraints during the process of heating interface material that bonds the integral heat spreader and semiconductor die together. In an alternative embodiment, thermal expansion of the integral hat spreader is restricted by applying an external compressive force to the integral heat spreader while heating interface material that bonds the integral heat spreader and semiconductor die together.
Abstract:
The subject matter of the present description relates to methods for the precise integration of microelectronic dice within a multichip package which substantially reduce or eliminate any misalign caused by the movement of the microelectronic dice during the integration process. These methods may include the use of a temporary adhesive in conjunction with a carrier having at least one recess for microelectronic die alignment, the use of a precision molded carrier for microelectronic die alignment, the use of magnetic alignment of microelectronic dice on a reusable carrier, and/or the use of a temporary adhesive with molding processes on a reusable carrier.
