    摘要: An integrated circuit chip having solder bumps thereon may be tested using a temporary substrate having substrate pads corresponding to locations of the input/output pads on the chip and having a sacrificial conductor layer on the temporary substrate pads. The solder bumps are placed adjacent the corresponding sacrificial metal layer and heated to form an electrical and mechanical connection between the chip and the temporary substrate. The chip is then tested and/or burned-in on the temporary substrate. After testing/burn-in, the sacrificial metal layer is dissolved into the solder bumps by heating. The integrated circuit chip, including a solder bump having the dissolved sacrificial metal layer therein, may be easily removed from the temporary substrate. Solder bumps may also be formed on the temporary substrate and transferred to unbumped chips. Solder bumps with different characteristics may be formed by varying the current-time product to each individual pad of the temporary substrate during a plating operation.

    摘要: Capture pads of variable size are provided on the face of a multilayer ceramic substrate, to accommodate the actual shrinkage tolerance of the substrate at each capture pad position. For example, assuming a minimum shrinkage reference point is at the center of the substrate face, the capture pad size is relatively large adjacent the edges of the substrate face and relatively small adjacent the center of the substrate face. By sizing each capture pad based on the maximum positional variation at the particular capture pad position, higher contact density is obtainable than with known uniform size capture pads. The variable size capture pads may also be used at one or more rows of capture pads located along one or more edges of the substrate, for electrical connection to an edge connector. For example, assuming a minimum shrinkage reference point at the center of the row, the capture pads are relatively large adjacent the ends of the row of capture pads and are relatively small adjacent the center of the row. Edge connectors with variable spacing of edge connector contacts are also provided. Capacitive ground plane coupling to the variable size capture pads is made uniform by providing a uniform size ground plane region adjacent each capture pad, with the uniform size being smaller than the smallest capture pad. A high density microelectronic substrate is thereby obtained without degrading the performance of the substrate.

    摘要: An electrical connector includes a housing and a row of connector contacts coupled to the housing. The row of connector contacts has a predetermined center-to-center spacing between adjacent contacts, with the predetermined center-to-center spacing being relatively large relatively far from an imaginary reference point in the row of connector contacts, and being relatively small relatively near the imaginary reference point in the row of connector contacts. The imaginary reference point is preferably at the center of the row of contacts, and the center-to-center contact spacing preferably progressively increases from the center of the row to the ends of the row. The size of the connector contacts may also progressively increase as well. The electrical connector is preferably adapted for use with a multilayer ceramic substrate which includes a row of capture pads of the same predetermined center-to-center spacing at the edge thereof. The variable center-to-center spacing ensures electrical connection to a conductor filled via in the multilayer ceramic substrate notwithstanding variability and location of the respective via due to shrinkage of the substrate during fabrication thereof.

    摘要: A fluxless soldering sample pretreating system includes a sample chamber having an opening therein and a sample holder. A sample chamber extension extends outwardly from the opening to define a passageway from the sample chamber extension, through the opening, and into the sample chamber. A fluorine-containing gas is supplied into the sample chamber extension. Am energy source such as a microwave oven surrounds the sample chamber extension. The microwave oven produces microwave energy in the sample chamber extension to form a plasma therein and dissociate the fluorine-containing gas into atomic fluorine. A perforated aluminum plate extends transversely across the passageway and blocks the plasma from traversing the passageway from the sample chamber extension into the sample chamber, while allowing the atomic fluorine to traverse the passageway from the sample chamber extension into the sample holder. A second chamber extension, gas supply and microwave oven may be added to improve uniformity for large samples.
