摘要:
A method for making a semiconductor chip package. At least one compliant pad is provided on a surface of a substrate and a chip unit is attached to the at least one compliant pad. The at least one compliant pad has a first coefficient of thermal expansion (“CTE”). An encapsulant having a second CTE lower than the CTE of the compliant pads is disposed around the at least one compliant pad to form a composite layer between the chip unit and the substrate.
摘要:
A semiconductor chip package structure for providing a reliable interface between a semiconductor chip and a PWB to accommodate for the thermal coefficient of expansion mismatch therebetween. The interface between a chip and a PWB is comprised of a package substrate having a plurality of compliant pads defining channels therebetween. The package substrate is typically comprised of a flexible dielectric sheet that has leads and terminals on at least one surface thereof. The pads have a first coefficient of thermal expansion (“CTE”) and are comprised of a material having a fairly low modulus of elasticity. An encapsulant having a second CTE lower than the CTE of the compliant pads is disposed within the channels to form a uniform encapsulation layer. The pads are in rough alignment with the conductive terminals on the package substrate thereby allowing independent movement of the terminals during thermal cycling of the chip. The encapsulant encases the conductive leads electrically connecting the terminals to chip contacts on a face surface of the chip. The lower CTE of the encapsulant controls the flexing of the conductive leads so that the leads do not prematurely fatigue and become unreliable while the lower modulus compliant pads relieve the stress on the solder balls induced by the CTE mismatch of the chip and the PWB.
摘要:
A method of making a microelectronic assembly comprises connecting a lead to a contact on a microelectronic element and to a stage. The microelectronic element is juxtaposed with a microelectronic component and the lead is disconnected from the stage. The lead is bonded to a terminal pad on the microelectronic component. A stage for making a microelectronic assembly has a conduit for introducing a bonding tool toward a lead bonded to the stage and extending across the conduit while the microelectronic element is juxtaposed with the microelectronic component.
