A heat sink in a heat transfer relationship with a substrate such as an integrated chip, chip carrier, or other electronic package. The heat sink is connected to a frame which is connected to a printed circuit board or other suitable support on which the substrate is positioned. The heat sink, which extends through an aperture in the frame is coupled to a surface of the substrate. The heat sink is mechanically decoupled from the substrate. Large heat sinks may be thermally connected to surface mount substrates mounted using technologies such as ceramic ball or column grid arrays, plastic ball or column grid arrays, or solder balls or columns. The heat sink is attached coaxially through the aperture to the substrate. After assembly and lead/tin or other metallic surface mount interconnects are relaxed such that the substrate and is completely supported by the frame and the heat sink imparts zero or nearly zero downward force. Because the heat sink moves freely within the aperture during assembly, the heat sink package is useful for a variety of different substrates. Preferably, the frame is a plate and a plurality of studs. The plate material are selected to match the thermal expansion of the underlying support, and the stud material matched the thermal expansion of the substrate. Thus, the frame construction allows matching expansion and contraction of the assembly to the underlying substrate and support.
摘要:
A heat sink is placed in a heat transfer relationship with a substrate such as an integrated chip, chip carrier, or other electronic package, without imparting stressful forces to the substrate by connecting the heat sink to a frame which is connected to a support such as a printed circuit board or other suitable carrier on which the substrate is positioned. The heat sink extends through an aperture in the frame and is in heat transfer relationship with a surface of the substrate; however, it is mechanically decoupled from the substrate. The invention has particular application in thermally connecting large heat sinks to substrates that are surface mounted on the support using technologies such as ceramic ball or column grid arrays, plastic ball or column grid arrays, or solder balls or columns. In order to provide intimate contact between the substrate and the heat sink, the heat sink must be depressed coaxially through the aperture of the frame against a surface of the substrate and then secured by, for example, gluing while in contact with the surface. However, this downward force imparted by the heat sink is quickly reduced via relaxation of the lead/tin or other metallic elements of the surface mount.

A porous metal block for selectively removing solder or braze from a substrate is disclosed. The block comprises a plurality of protrusions which absorb solder or braze through capillary action. The number and dimensions of the protrusions vary depending on the application. Also disclosed is a process for making such a block involving a unique two steps sintering process.
摘要:
Apparatus for connecting a first area array component to a substrate with a joining material. The apparatus has a nozzle directing heat toward both the first area array component and the portion of the substrate beneath the first area array component to melt the joining material. An elastic seal contacts the substrate and prevents the heat from affecting other components adjacent the first area array component. The nozzle is pressed against the substrate to restrain warping of the substrate, which might be caused by the heating of the first area array component, and to prevent damage to the substrate. The nozzle can tilt so that it conforms to the surface of the substrate. The first area array component is allowed to move freely in the direction of a plane of the substrate under the surface tension of the molten joining material during heating to center the first area array component.

The present invention relates generally to a new apparatus and method for removing solid material and liquid material that may contain solid material from a substrate. More particularly, the invention encompasses an apparatus and method for removing molten solder which may contain solid particles and solder balls or columns from a substrate using a unique squeegee. Also, disclosed is a method for removing solder balls or columns from a substrate using a backer having an adhesive thereon.

The present invention relates generally to a new interconnection and a method for making the same, and more particularly, to an elongated solder interconnection and a method for making the same. On an electronic carrier, a pad is formed on which a solder mass is deposited and capped with a metal layer, thereby forming an elongated solder interconnection. A further elongated solder interconnection can now be formed by forming a second solder mass on the first solder mass that has been capped by a metal layer. Additional elongated solder interconnection can be formed by capping the preceding solder mass and/or the last solder mass with a metal capping layer. Alternatively, the encapsulating layer can be in the form of a sidewall spacer formed on the sidewalls of the solder mass.

摘要:
An integrated circuit module, a land grid array module, and a method for forming the module, include a substrate, which mounts one or more chips or discrete electronic components, and a cap for covering the substrate, and including at least one protrusion coupled to the cap for limiting the amount of flexing of the substrate during actuation. The at least one protrusion can be either rigidly fixed to the cap or adjustably inserted through the cap.

A method for producing interconnect structures and circuit boards including placing an area array component having connection bumps on the corresponding metal contacts on a substrate disposed on a backing plate, providing heat curable joining material in communication with the bumps and contacts, contacting a gas nozzle directly to a portion of the substrate surrounding the component to press the substrate between the nozzle and the backing plate to restrain the substrate from wrapping, heating the component, the joining material and the substrate proximate the metal contacts while maintaining the nozzle on the substrate to cure the joining material, and cooling the component, the joining material and the substrate. Selected components can also be replaced utilizing the gas nozzle for restraining the substrate from wrapping.
