摘要:
An integrated heat spreader, heat sink or heat pipe with pre-attached phase change thermal interface material and a method of making an electronic assembly.
摘要:
A thermal interface material is described for thermal coupling of an electronic component to a thermally conductive member. The thermal interface material includes a viscoelastic polymer matrix material, fusible solder particles in the matrix material, and filler particles in the matrix material. The solder particles have a melting temperature below a selected temperature (e.g. 157° C. for indium) and the filler particles have a melting temperature substantially above the selected temperature (e.g. 961° C. for silver). The filler particles keep the thermal interface material intact under adverse thermal and stress conditions.

摘要:
Apparatus and methods are provided wherein the reflowable electrically conductive interconnect material coupling the interconnects and/or land-side components of a microelectronic package is protected from elevated temperatures, such as those associated with reflow processes and environments which exceed the melting temperature of the interconnect material. One embodiment of the method provides covering the interconnect material about the interconnects and/or land-side components with heat-resistant curable material which protects the interconnect material from the elevated temperature and provides structural support to the interconnects and/or land-side components at the elevated temperature. One embodiment of the apparatus provides a substrate comprising interconnects and/or land-side components coupled to a carrier substrate with reflowable electrically conductive interconnect material, and a layer of heat-resistant curable material covering the interconnect material and forming fillets about the interconnects and/or land-side components.
摘要:
A laser micromachining method is disclosed wherein a workpiece is milled using an incident beam from a laser beam focused above the surface of the workpiece. The incident beam is guided by a plasma channel generated by the incident beam. The plasma channel, which has a relatively constant diameter over an extended distance, is generated by continual Kerr effect self-focusing balanced by ionization of air beam defocusing.

In some embodiments, a method includes picking up a clip with a chuck, and, while holding the clip with the chuck, picking up an integrated circuit (IC) die with the IC die in contact with the clip.
摘要:
An assembly including a heat dissipation device having an attachment surface, a substrate having an attachment surface, and a plurality of metal balls extending between the heat dissipation device attachment surface and the substrate attachment surface. The assembly may include at least one microelectronic die disposed between the heat dissipation device attachment surface and the substrate attachment surface.
摘要:
In some embodiments, an integrated circuit package includes a substrate and a heat spreader coupled to the substrate by fasteners. Thermal interface material thermally couples the die to the heat spreader. The heat spreader is provided over the die and is attached to the substrate with fasteners rather than a sealant-adhesive. Some examples of suitable fasteners may include rivets, barbed connectors, and gripping clips.
摘要:
A method of bonding a wire to a bond pad on an electronic or photonic device is provided. A section of the wire is held within a bond head of the wirebonding apparatus. A laser beam is directed onto the bond pad. Energy of the laser beam heats the bond pad to the temperature that is higher than the temperature of the device. The bond head is subsequently moved toward the device to bring a portion of the wire into contact with the bond pad. Ultrasonic energy is provided to an interface between the portion of the wire and the bond pad.
摘要:
A device and method identify and compensate for tensile and/or shear stress due to heat-caused expansion and contraction between an integrated heat spreader and thermal interface material. This device and method may change the shape of the integrated heat spreader based upon the identification of location(s) of high tensile and/or shear stress so that additional thermal interface material may be deposited between the integrated heat spreader and a die in corresponding locations. Utilizing this method and device, heat is efficiently transferred from the die to the integrated heat spreader.
