摘要:
A method is provided for the manufacture of precision electronic components such as resistors, inductors, and capacitors on a polymer or ceramic surface. The electronic components can be deposited and trimmed to precise or matched values without having precise depositions of all of the pre-patterned materials. Thin film electronic components are deposited on a surface, parameter values are measured or estimated, a correction offset file is generated, and the components are trimmed using adaptive lithography to a very close tolerance. A computer program can be used to enable the adjustment of electronic components by techniques such as changing the physical length of an inductor coil or resistor lead, or by changing a capacitor plate area.

A method for fabricating a thin film resistor comprises applying a tantalum nitride layer over a dielectric layer, applying a metallization layer over the tantalum nitride layer, and patterning the metallization layer with a first portion of the metallization layer situated apart from a second portion of the metallization layer and both the first and second portions being at least partially situated on the tantalum nitride layer. In one embodiment, after patterning the metallization layer, the resistance value between the first and second portions of the metallization layer is determined and compared to a predetermined resistance value, and at least one of the first and second portions is trimmed to obtain a modified resistance value between the first and second portions that is closer to the predetermined resistance value than the determined resistance value.

A method for making a multichip “HDI” module includes the step of making a substrate for supporting the semiconductor or solid-state chips (or other components) by applying electrical conductor in a pattern to a first dielectric sheet, and applying encapsulating material to the electrical conductor. Apertures are made in the first dielectric sheet and encapsulant at locations at which the chips (or other components) are to be located. The components are affixed to a second dielectric sheet at locations registered with the apertures in the first sheet, and the sheets are juxtaposed with the chips extending into the apertures. This results in the formation of gaps between the components and the edges of the apertures, which gaps are then filled with hardenable or curable material. Electrical connection is made to the pads of the chips by means of a multilayer structure of dielectric sheets with conductor patterns, interconnected by means of plated-through vias.

A method of forming a ruthenium dioxide film for such purposes as the fabrication of stable thin-film resistors for microcircuits. The method generally entails forming an inorganic ruthenium-based film on a substrate, and then thermally decomposing at least a portion of the ruthenium-based film by exposure to a high-intensity beam of radiation, preferably visible light, to yield a ruthenium dioxide film on the substrate. Particular ruthenium-based precursors useful for forming the ruthenium-based film include ruthenium (III) chloride (RuCl3.nH2O) and ruthenium (III) nitrosyl nitrate. The method does not require a thermal treatment that heats the bulk of the substrate on which the ruthenium dioxide film is formed, and is therefore suitable for non-ceramic substrate materials, e.g., polymers such as those used as printed circuit boards (PCBs) and flexible circuits.

For fully testing and burning-in an integrated circuit chip before it is incorporated into a high density interconnect or other standard hybrid bare chip circuit, a temporary test substrate having pins extending therethrough holds the chip within a cavity. Chip pads are electrically connected with the pins to create a package that can be tested using commercially available testing and burn-in devices. After testing, the chip is retrieved from the test structure undamaged. In using HDI techniques to interconnect the chip with the pins, metal-filled vias in a polymer layer overlying the temporary test substrate electrically connect the chip to the pins through a metal interconnect pattern on the polymer layer. In another embodiment, the chip is interconnected with the pins through wire bonds. Metal-filled vias pass through an insulative coating on the chip and make electrical contact with the chip pad. A temporary buffer pad connected to a respective via and offset from the chip pad connected to that via comprises a wire-bonding site.

A method and process sequence for accurately aligning (die to interconnect metal on flex substrate such as polyimide flex is described. A mask for via formation is first patterned in a metal layer on the bottom surface of the flex substrate. Die attach means such as die attach adhesive is then applied to the top side of flex substrate. The bond pads on die are locally, adaptively aligned to the patterned metal via mask on the flex with high accuracy. Vias down to the die bond pads are then created by either plasma etching or excimer laser ablation through the existing aligned metal mask on the flex substrate, and interconnect metal is then deposited, patterned and etched. As a result of this process, the flex metal interconnect artwork does not have to be customized for each die misplacement using “adaptive lithography”. Lower cost commercially available lithography equipment can be used for processing, reducing capital equipment and processing cost. The method is compatible with the projected designs of the next generation die which will have bond pads on the order of 40um in size.
