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 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:
A method for forming a flip-chip-on-board assembly. An integrated circuit (IC) chip having a polyimide passivation layer is joined to a chip carrier via a plurality of solder bumps which electrically connect a plurality of contact pads on the IC chip to corresponding contacts on the chip carrier. A space is formed between a surface of the passivation layer and a surface of the chip carrier. A plasma is applied, to chemically modify the surface of the chip carrier and the passivation layer of the IC chip substantially without roughening the surface of the passivation layer. The plasma is either an O2 plasma or a microwave-generated Ar and N2O plasma. An underfill encapsulant material is applied to fill the space. The plasma treatment may be performed after the step of joining. Then, the chip and chip carrier are treated with the plasma simultaneously. Alternatively, the IC chip and chip carrier may be treated with the plasma before they are joined to one another. The plasma treatment improves adhesion between the encapsulant and the IC chip, and between the encapsulant and the chip carrier.
