    摘要: An electronic structure, and associated method of fabrication, for coupling a heat spreader above a chip to a chip carrier below the chip. Initially provided is a substrate, a chip on a surface of the substrate and coupled to the substrate, and the heat spreader. Then a fillet of at least one adhesive material is formed on the chip and around a periphery of the chip. Additionally, the heat spreader is placed on a portion of the fillet and over a top surface of the chip. The fillet couples the heat spreader to the substrate. An outer surface of the fillet makes a to contact angle of about 25 degrees with the surface of the substrate. The small contact angle not exceeding about 25 degrees prevents cracking of the substrate that would otherwise result from thermal cycling.

    摘要: A method of removing and/or reducing undesirable contaminants removes residues including graphitic layers, fluorinate layers, calcium sulfate (CaSO4) particles, tin oxides and organotin, from a chip passivation layer surface. The method uses a plasma process with an argon and oxygen mixture with optimized plasma parameters to remove both the graphitic and fluorinated layers and to reduce the level of the inorganic/tin oxides/organotin residue from an integrated circuit wafer while keeping the re-deposition of metallic compounds is negligible. This invention discloses the plasma processes that organics are not re-deposited from polymers to solder ball surfaces and tin oxide thickness does not increase on solder balls. The ratio of argon/oxygen is from about 50% to about 99% Ar and about 1% to about 50% O2 by volume. Incoming wafers, after treatment, are then diced to form individual chips that are employed to produce flip chip plastic ball grid array packages.

    摘要: The invention relates to a composition of matter comprising a soldering flux, wherein the flux consists essentially of a combination of a fluxing agent and a solvent, and wherein the fluxing agent comprises a keto acid such as levulinic acid or acetylbutyric acid. The flux may also comprises an ester acid, or comprises a mixture of the keto acid with the ester acid. The solvent comprises a mixture of a tacky solvent with a non-tacky solvent. The invention also relates to a process comprising soldering at least two surfaces together, each of which comprises a metal area to which solder can adhere by employing the following steps in any order: applying solder to at least one of the metal areas, aligning the metal areas so that they are superimposed over one another, heating at least one of the areas to a temperature that comprises at least the melting temperature of the solder. The last step comprises joining the superimposed areas to one another. The process employs the flux composition operatively associated with the solder, and in one embodiment the invention comprises a mixture of the flux composition with powdered solder. In another embodiment, the process comprises IMS, C4 and C4NP processes and the solder comprises a lead free solder. The invention also comprises a product produced by the foregoing process or processes.

    摘要: Utilizing an appropriately configured laser interferometer, the warpage of a silicon chip can be easily monitored during the solder reflow attachment process in an effort to determine the amount of stress encountered by the chip. Warpage measurements can then be continuously monitored throughout the process and related data can be stored to easily suggest the level of warpage generated by various processing parameters. By dynamically monitoring warpage in conjunction with processing parameters, a correlation can be established between the various parameters chosen, and resulting warpage. Based upon this correlation, the evaluators can easily identify those parameters which produce minimum stress, thus avoiding potential for breakage and damage during reflow operations.
