A method for forming a solder joint for a package arrangement with a dispersed Sn microstructure provides a flip chip on a package, with a flip chip having solder bumps to be connected by eutectic solder joints to pads on the package. The eutectic solder is reflowed at a solder bump/pad interface with a eutectic reflow profile that is configured to achieve eutectic solder joints having substantially evenly distributed Sn grains. The eutectic reflow profile includes an increased cooling rate and decreased hold time with a higher peak temperature. A defined ratio of the pad openings in the solder mask to the under bump metallurgy is provided. The eutectic reflow profile and the defined ratio prolong fatigue life in the package arrangement.

摘要:
When soldering semiconductor devices in a solder reflow furnace flux is vaporized and carried to the furnace exhaust pipe. The flux condenses on the walls of the exhaust pipe and drips back into the furnace contaminating production parts. A solder reflow furnace with a flux effluent collector prevents flux drip-back. The flux effluent collector has an exhaust gas heater that maintains flux effluent in a gaseous state, a flux cooler, to subsequently condense flux, and a flux condensation region where the flux condenses. The flux condensation region is offset from the furnace's exhaust opening so that condensed flux cannot drip back into the furnace.

A method and apparatus are provided for selectively depositing flux on a plurality of flip-chip bumps arranged on a semiconductor by mounting a flux stamp on the semiconductor chip. The flux stamp has a plurality of flux holes arranged in a pattern substantially identically corresponding to the arrangement of the flip-chip bumps of the semiconductor chip. Different flux stamps are prepared for various kinds of semiconductor chips having different flip-chip bump arrangements. Flux is deposited though the flux holes of the flux stamp which selectively exposing the upper surfaces of the flip-chip bumps of the chip, thereby leaving no flux on the chip surface between the flip-chip bumps.

摘要:
Deformation of a lifting ring of bimetallic structure or memory metal is matched to a solder softening or melting temperature to apply forces to lift a chip from a supporting structure, such as a substrate or multi-chip module, only when the solder connections between the chip and the supporting structure are softened or melted. The temperature of the chip, module and solder connections there between is achieved in a commercially available box oven or belt furnace or the like and results in much reduced internal chip temperatures and thermal gradients within the chip as compared to known hot chip removal processes. Tensile and/or shear forces at solder connections and chip and substrate contacts are much reduced in comparison with known cold chip removal processes. Accordingly, the process is repeatable at will without significant damage to or alteration of electrical characteristics of the chip or substrate.

The present invention relates generally to a new method of repairing electrical lines, and more praticularly to repairing electrical lines having an open at the module level with devices in place. Various methods and processes are used to repair this open or defective portion in an electrical conductor line. It could be repaired by securing a jumper wire or nugget across the open or the repair could be made by a deposition process, which includes but is not limited to filling the open with a solder type material or inserting a solder coated electrical wire and heating the solder and allowing the solder to melt and repair the open. One of the attributes of this invention is the ability to repair on a substrate or module on which active components such as chips, and passive components such as pins, capacitors, etc. have been attached. The invention also allows repair of fine line patterns which are normally not repairable by conventional techniques.
