摘要:
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.

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 for direct chip attach of a semiconductor chip to a circuit board by using solder bumps and an underfill layer is disclosed. In the method, a layer of in-situ polymeric mold material is first screen printed on the top surface of the semiconductor chip exposing a multiplicity of bond pads. The in-situ polymeric mold layer is formed with a multiplicity of apertures which are then filled with solder material in a molten solder screening process to form solder bumps. A thin flux-containing underfill material layer is then placed on top of a circuit board over a plurality of conductive pads which are arranged in a mirror image to the bond pads on the semiconductor chip. The semiconductor chip and the circuit board are then pressed together with the underfill layer inbetween and heated to a reflow temperature of higher than the melting temperature of the solder material until electrical communication is established between the bond pads and the conductive pads. In the bonded assembly, the in-situ polymeric mold layer and the underfill material layer forms a composite underfill to replace a conventional underfill material that must be injected between bonded chip and substrate by a capillary action in a time consuming process.

A method is described for forming solder mounds for attachment to electronic devices. The solder mounds are preferably in the form of columns and comprise a first solder portion and a second solder portion with the two solder portions having different melting points. The solder columns are preferably formed using an injection molding device. The method is directed to the use of a single column mold to form the multi-solder column. In one embodiment, deformable material is used to partially block a portion of the through opening of the mold during a first solder injection process. The deformable material is then removed and the remainder of the through openings of the mold filled with a second molten solder. The multi-solder column is then electrically connected to a substrate by reflowing.

Methods for fabricating microelectronic interconnection structures as well as the structures formed by the methods are disclosed which improve the manufacturing throughput for assembling flip chip semiconductor devices. The use of a bilayer of polymeric materials applied on the wafer prior to dicing eliminates the need for dispensing and curing underfill for each semiconductor at the package level, thereby improving manufacturing throughput and reducing cost.
摘要:
A plurality of through-substrate holes is formed in each of at least one substrate. Each through-substrate hole extends from a top surface of the at least one substrate to the bottom surface of the at least one substrate. The at least one substrate is held by a stationary chuck or a rotating chuck. Vacuum suction is provided to a set of through-substrate holes among the plurality of through-substrate holes through a vacuum manifold attached to the bottom surface of the at least one substrate. An injection mold solder head located above the top surface of the at least one substrate injects a solder material into the set of through-substrate holes to form a plurality of through-substrate solders that extend from the top surface to the bottom surface of the at least one substrate. The vacuum suction prevents formation of air bubbles or incomplete filling in the plurality of through-substrate holes.

摘要:
Multiple injections of molten solder are employed to form double solder bumps having outer layers that melt at lower temperatures than the inner portions thereof. During a flip chip assembly process, the reflow temperature is above the melting temperature of the outer layers and below the melting temperature of the inner portions of the solder bumps. As the inner portions of the solder bumps do not collapse during reflow, a flip chip assembly can be made at relatively low temperatures and have a high stand-off height. A structure having double solder bumps facilitates flip chip assembly.
