摘要:
A method and structure is provided for preventing wetting or bleed of an adhesive, such as an epoxy, onto noble metal wire bond pads on the surface of a dielectric substrate when attaching an I/C chip to the substrate. The method includes treating the wire bond pads with a chemical composition which prevents bleeding onto the surfaces of the wire bond pads by a component of the epoxy. The chemical composition is a chemical which will provide “Self-Assembled Monolayers” (SAMs) on the surface of the gold. These compositions are characterized by a molecule having at least one group, such as a mercaptan or disulfide, connected to a hydrocarbon moiety, such as a (CH2)x chain. The affinity of the thiol or sulfur-containing portion of the molecule chemically bonding with the noble metal provides a relatively strong attachment of the molecule to the metal surface. The hydrocarbon segment presents a surface on the noble metal that has the characteristics of the hydrocarbon portion of the molecule which has a low surface tension, and, thus, prevents wetting of the noble metal by an epoxy adhesive component. The SAMs, once they provide protection from the bleed of the die attach adhesives, self desorb during the wire bonding or soldering temperatures.

摘要:
A method for bonding heat sinks to packaged electronic components comprises the steps of: (a) exposing to a plasma a surface of a molded polymer formed on a substrate; (b) allowing the plasma to at least partially convert silicon-containing residue on the surface to silica; and (c) bonding an article to the surface by applying an adherent between the article and the surface. Often, the silicon-containing residue is silicone oil, a mold release compound, which may prevent the formation of a bond when using conventional bonding methods and materials. The silica layer formed on the surface of the molded polymer assists in formation of a proper bond. The plasma may be an oxygen plasma and the adherent may be selected from either a heat cured silicone-based paste adhesive with a metal oxide filler or a heat cured porous polymer film impregnated with adhesive. In particular, the film may be polytetrafluoroethylene, the adhesive may be polybutadine, and the film may be further impregnated with a metal oxide heat transfer medium, such as zinc oxide. An alternate method comprises applying the porous polymer film without plasma treatment and heat curing the film to form a proper bond.

A metal alloy solder ball comprising a first metal and a second metal, the first metal having a sputtering yield greater than the second metal. The solder ball comprises a bulk portion having a bulk ratio of the first metal to the second metal, an outer surface, and a surface gradient having a depth and a gradient ratio of the first metal to the second metal that is less than the bulk ratio. The gradient ratio increases along the surface gradient depth from a minimum at the outer surface. The solder ball may be formed by the process of exposing the ball to energized ions of a sputtering gas for an effective amount of time to form the surface gradient.
摘要:
A method is provided for selectively metallizing one or more three-dimensional materials in an electronic circuit package comprising the steps of forming a layer of seeding solution on a surface of the three-dimensional material of interest, exposing this layer to light of appropriate wavelength, resulting in the formation of metal seed on regions of the three-dimensional material corresponding to the regions of the layer of seeding solution exposed to light; removing the unexposed regions of the layer of seeding solution by subjecting the exposed and unexposed regions of the layer of seeding solution to an alkaline solution. Thereafter, additional metal is deposited, e.g., plated, onto the metal seed using conventional techniques. Significantly, this method does not involve the use of a photoresist, or of a corresponding chemical developer or photoresist stripper. Of additional significance, this method is ideal for plating three-dimensional materials such as cone-shaped connectors used in electronic circuit packages.
