摘要:
A softened and compliant fillet portion of a cured polymeric underfill in a flip-chip arrangement reduces occurences of fillet crackings caused by thermal stresses. The softening of the fillet is achieved by chemically breaking cross-links in the cured polymeric underfill material using a chemical solvent. In another embodiment, the softening of the fillet is achieved by applying heat using a controllable beam of thermal energy to break up the cross-links to thereby soften the fillet.

A method and an apparatus are provided for selectively depositing flux on a plurality of flip-chip bumps arranged on a semiconductor chip by jet printing a flux pattern, which is substantially identical to the arrangement pattern of the flip-chip bumps. The flux pattern is determined by measuring the chip configuration and converting the configuration to computer-recognizable data. The converted chip configuration is stored in data storage, and a jet printing head prints the flux pattern based on the computer-recognizable data. A conveyance plate is provided to transport the semiconductor chip to a flux-deposition area below the jet printing head.

Residue contaminates semiconductor devices during processing in a furnace. Residue contamination is prevented by removing the residue before it builds up to a point where it can contaminate semiconductor devices. Residue build-up is monitored using a residue build-up monitoring device mounted on the furnace exhaust stack. When residue build-up reaches a predetermined level a signal is generated by the residue build-up monitoring device notifying technicians that furnace cleaning is required.
摘要:
A package assembly is formed by applying flux to a device and/or a substrate and inspecting the applied flux to determine whether the amount applied is within a predetermined range. Embodiments include applying a rosin based flux on a laminate substrate and measuring the thickness of the applied flux with an interferometer.
摘要:
Detection of flux residue remaining the formation of a device/substrate assembly is carried out by contacting the assembly with a fixed amount of solvent adapted to remove residual flux from the assembly and measuring the conductivity or resistance of the contacted solvent to determine the presence of flux residue in the solvent obtained from the assembly. Embodiments include contacting the assembly with isopropanol by immersing and withdrawing the assembly in a fixed amount of the solvent and measuring the conductivity of the contacted solvent with a volt meter.

摘要:
The present invention relates generally to a new method of repairing electrical lines, and more particularly to repairing electrical lines having an opening at the module level with devices in place. Various methods and processes are used to repair this open or defective portion in an electrical conductor line. It could be repaired by securing a jumper wire or nugget across the open or the repair could be made by a deposition process, which includes but is not limited to filling the opening with a solder type material or inserting a solder coated electrical wire and heating the solder and allowing the solder to melt and repair the open. One of the attributes of this invention is the ability to repair on a substrate or module on which active components such as chips, and passive components such as pins, capacitors, etc. have been attached. The invention also allows repair of fine line patterns which are normally not repairable by conventional techniques.
