摘要:
A method and structure is disclosed for detaching a chip from a substrate that delays the delivery of shear force to the chip until the connectors attaching the chip to the substrate are soft enough that the delivery of shear force will not damage the chip's connectors. More particularly, the shear force is created by a bimetallic disk that, when heat is applied, is transformed into shearing force. The shearing force is delayed by a delaying device until the connectors connecting the chip to the substrate are soft enough that the application of shear force will separate the chip from the substrate without damaging the chip's connectors. The delaying device includes a physical gap that may be adjusted to control when the shear force is applied to the chip.

A method for joining a multiplicity of multi-alloy solder columns to an electronic substrate and the structure formed by such method are disclosed. In the method, a mold plate equipped with a multiplicity of cavities is first filled by an injection molded solder technique with a high temperature solder forming a multiplicity of solder columns. The mold plate is then sandwiched between an extraction plate and a transfer plate by utilizing a multiplicity of displacement means equipped in the extraction plate to displace the multiplicity of solder columns from the mold plate into a multiplicity of apertures equipped in the transfer plate. The multiplicity of cavities in the transfer plate each has a straight opening and a flared opening. The flared opening is then filled with a low temperature solder paste to encapsulate one end of the high temperature solder column. The low temperature solder paste is then reflown on top of a conductive pad on an electronic substrate at a temperature lower than the melting temperature of the high temperature solder to form a bond between the solder column and the conductive pad.

An apparatus and method are provided for continuously injecting molten solder into a plurality of molds for transfer of the formed solder mounds to electronic devices such as multilayer ceramic packages. A conventional injection molding apparatus is employed with a specially designed apparatus for forming the molds and preferably with a specially designed mold to provide a continuous molding process. The apparatus is preferably of a U-shaped configuration whereby molds are advanced under the molten solder reservoir and injection head by a preceding mold in the apparatus. The urging action of the preceding mold on the succeeding mold and, preferably in conjunction with the preferred mold design, enables a continuous method and apparatus for injecting molten solder into a plurality of molds. The preferred mold design utilizes an upper plate having mold opening, and a lower substrate or backing plate, with the length and width of the upper plate being slightly longer than the length and width of the lower substrate or late.

An apparatus for removing a casting comprising an electronic package substrate and an array of cast solder columns having a column pitch of less than 2 mm extending therefrom from the corresponding openings of a mold. The apparatus includes a removable mold containing a plurality of openings for casting a corresponding array of solder columns and bonding the columns to the underside of an electronic package substrate. A stripper plate for receiving the mold contains openings through a thickness thereof corresponding to at least some of the openings in the mold. An ejector assembly including ejector pins having a length at least as long as the sum of the thickness of the stripper plate at the stripper plate openings and the thickness of the mold at the column casting openings, and corresponding to openings in the mold and the stripper plate. The mold and the ejector assembly are relatively movable toward each other to cause at least some of the ejector pins to engage cast columns in the mold openings and push the engaged cast columns and substrate out of the mold. The stripper plate is movable relative to the ejector pins away from the ejector assembly after the ejector pins push the cast columns and substrate out of the mold.

The present invention relates generally to a new scheme of providing a seal for semi-conductor substrates and chip carriers. More particularly, the invention encompasses a structure and a method that uses a multi-layer metallic seal to provide protection to chips on a chip carrier. This multi-layer metal seal provides both enhanced hermeticity lifetime and environmental protection.For the preferred embodiment the multi-layer metallic seal is a two layer, solder structure which is used to create a low cost, high reliability, hermetic seal for the module. This solder structure has a thick high melting point temperature region that is attached to a cap, and a thin interconnecting region of lower melting point temperature region for sealing the substrate to the cap.

A method and apparatus for loading solder balls into a mold. Solder balls are loaded into a reservoir having multiple exit ports. A removable mold is fitted into the apparatus and the reservoir is passed across the top of the mold while solder balls are fed into cavities in the mold. After the reservoir has advanced across the mold and the mold cavities are filled with solder balls, the reservoir is reset as a roller is simultaneously guided across the mold to seat the solder balls firmly within the mold. Alternatively, the roller may be applied to the solder balls while the reservoir advances across the mold, or both as the the reservoir is advanced and when it is returned to its original position.

A system for burn-in testing of integrated circuits employs a cooling module with an aperture that accommodates a standard size holder for various chips, the holder being placed in the mouth of the aperture, in contact with a flexible seal. When the module is raised to make contact from below with a socket on a test board, the seal confines the cooling fluid and contacts on the upper surface of the holder are pressed against a set of corresponding contacts on the test board.

Preferred embodiments for methods of removing an integrated circuit (“IC”) from a substrate, where the IC is attached to the substrate by multiple solder connections are disclosed. One preferred embodiment of the inventive methods provides the steps of heating the IC and substrate to the reflow temperature for the solder connections and pulling the IC from the substrate by means of a vacuum force. Another preferred embodiment of the inventive method provides the step of shearing the IC from the substrate after the substrate and IC are heated, but before solder reflow temperature has been reached, and where the shearing force may be programmed through a computer controlled servomotor. Preferred embodiments of certain apparatus applying the inventive methods for removing an integrated circuit from a substrate are also disclosed. One preferred embodiment of the inventive apparatus includes a vented pallet to hold the substrate and IC and through which the vacuum force is applied to pull the IC from the substrate without the use of physical clamping or contact forces applied to the substrate or IC. In a further preferred embodiment of the inventive apparatus, shear elements are provided and used with a programmable servomotor for precisely controlling the forces applied to the substrate and IC as a function of time, temperature and translational distance.
