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.

摘要:
An electronic module having enhanced adhesion at the chip passivation and underfill interface is disclosed. The surface of the chip passivation is chemically modified to a sufficient depth such that the cured passivation is more reactive. The modified surface is treated with a polyamine preferably having a cyclic amine group extending from a preferably aliphatic backbone. During reflow of the solder joints of the electronic module by heating, the modified passivation reacts with the polyamine at the amine functionality. Following underfill of the electronic module with a polymeric material, preferably an epoxy resin, the polyamine on the surface of the passivation reacts with the underfill material during curing of the underfill material. The resulting electronic module is more robust since the amine acts as a chemical anchoring site for both the modified passivation and the underfill material. A method of assembling an electronic module utilizing the polyamine treatment at the chip and wafer level is also disclosed.

摘要:
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 semiconductor printed circuit board assembly (PCBA) and method for making same for use in electronic packages having a core layer of copper-invar-copper (CIC) with a layer of dielectric substrate placed on the core layer. A second layer of dielectric substrate is placed on the lower surface of the core layer of CIC. The layers are laminated together. Blind vias are laser drilled into the layers of dielectric substrate. The partially completed PCBA is subjected to a reactive ion etch (RIE) plasma as a first step to clean blind vias in the PCBA. After the plasma etch, an acidic etchant liquid solution is used on the blind vias. Pre-plating cleaning of blind vias removes a majority of oxides from the blind vias. Seed copper layers are then applied to the PCBA, followed by a layer of copper plating that can be etched to meet the requirements of the PCBA.
摘要:
A method of treating a conductive layer to assure enhanced adhesion of the layer to selected dielectric layers used to form a circuitized substrate. The conductive layer includes at least one surface with the appropriate roughness to enable such adhesion and also good signal passage if the layer is used as a signal layer. The method is extendible to the formation of such substrates, including to the formation of multilayered substrates having many conductive and dielectric layers. Such substrates may include one or more electrical components (e.g., semiconductor chips) mounted thereon and may also be mounted themselves onto other substrates.
