摘要:
The present invention relates generally to an electrical interconnection package and a method thereof. More particularly, the invention encompasses an invention that increases the fatigue life of a Ball Grid Array (BGA) electrical interconnection. This invention structurally couples at least one module to an organic interposer using a high modulus underfill material. The organic interposer is then joined to a organic board using standard joining processes. The inventive module can then be removed from the organic board at any time by moving the organic interposer using standard rework techniques.

This invention relates to a solder structure which provides enhanced fatigue life properties when used to bond substrates particularly at the second level such as BGA and CGA interconnections. The solder structure is preferably a sphere or column and has a metal layer wettable by solder and the structure is used to make solder connections in electronic components such as joining an electronic module such as a chip connected to a MLC which module is connected to a circuit board. The solder structure preferably has an overcoat of solder on the metal layer to provide a passivation coating to the metal layer to keep it clean from oxidation and corrosion and also provide a wettable surface for attachment of the solder structure to solder on the pads of the substrate being bonded.

The present invention relates generally to a new structure and method for chip burn-in and/or testing. More particularly, the invention encompasses a baseplate that is secured to a delicate chip and a method for such an invention is also disclosed. The inventive baseplate provides an added strength to a complex chip while it is being tested and/or burned-in, and then during normal use the baseplate of this invention is an integrated component of the chip.
摘要:
A process and apparatus for removing flip chips with C4 joints mounted on a multi-chip module by applying a tensile force to one or more removal member bonded to the back of one or more flip chips during heating of the module to a temperature sufficient to cause the C4 joints to become molten. The tensile force can either be a compressed spring, or a bi-metallic member which is flat at room temperature and becomes curved when heated to such temperature, or a memory alloy whose original shape is curved and which is bent flat at room temperature but returns to its original curved shape when heated to such temperature. An adhesive is used to bond the removal member to the chip to be removed and is a low temperature, fast curing adhesive with high temperature tolerance after curing.

An interconnection structure and methods for making and detaching the same are presented for column and ball grid array (CGA and BGA) structures by using a transient solder paste on the electronic module side of the interconnection that includes fine metal powder additives to increase the melting point of the solder bond. The metal powder additives change the composition of the solder bond such that the transient melting solder composition does not completely melt at temperatures below +230° C. and detach from the electronic module during subsequent reflows. A Pb—Sn eutectic with a lower melting point is used on the opposite end of the interconnection structure. In the first method a transient melting solder paste is applied to the I/O pad of an electronic module by a screening mask. Interconnect structures are then bonded to the I/O pad. In a second method, solder preforms in a composition of the transient melting solder paste are wetted onto electronic module I/O pads and interconnect columns or balls are then bonded. Detachment of an electronic module from a circuit card can then be performed by heating the circuit card assembly to a temperature above the eutectic solder melting point, but below the transient solder joint melting point.

A pre-thermal reflown dielectric interposer having a plurality of vias traversing through the interposer which correspond to the I/O pads on a chip and substrate. Cone shaped solder elements reside within the vias, whereby these solder elements are cone shaped prior to thermal reflow to permit a reduced force for allowing some non-planarity for joining the chip to the substrate. The interposer may comprise a polyester film, glass, alumina, polyimide, a heat curable polymer or an inorganic powder filler in an organic material. The interposer may also have an adhesive or adhesive layers disposed on the linear surfaces thereof. The present pre-thermal reflown interposer prohibits contact between the solder joints by isolating each of the joints and corresponding bonding pads, as well as preventing over compression of the solder joints by acting as a stand off.

摘要:
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.
