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 bimetallic 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.

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 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.

摘要:
A method for removing at least one molten or solid structure from a surface including: placing the surface with the at least one molten or solid structure in a fixture; disposing said wiper assembly acted on by a bias proximate the at least one molten or solid structure; retaining the wiper assembly in a first position with a device having a first temperature point level equivalent to or higher than a second melting point level of the at least one molten or solid structure; and raising the temperature of the fixture to the first temperature point level; wherein the at least one molten or solid structure is wiped from the surface when the device reaches the first temperature point level. An apparatus for removing at least one molten or solid structure from a substrate for rework, the apparatus comprising: a fixture for sustaining and biasing the substrate against a wiper assembly; the wiper assembly configured and positioned to slidably engage at least a portion of the substrate; a bias for translating the wiper assembly along a surface of the substrate having the at least one molten or solid structure to be removed; and a guide block assembly capable of guiding and locking the wiper assembly.

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.

A method and apparatus is provided for forming an elongated solder joint between two soldered substrates of an electronic module by applying a controlled separating force between the two soldered substrates during and/or after heating of the module. The solder joints are plasticized, preferably to the molten state above the liquidus temperature, and are thereby stretched and the module is then cooled to solidify the stretched joints. An apparatus and method are provided which preferably uses a vacuum device as the separating force to stretch the existing solder joints to the desired solder height and configuration which is preferably an hour-glass shape.

A solder preform is provided for forming interconnections between multilayer ceramic substrates comprising an upper layer and lower layer of solder separated by an intermediate layer of a material which is wettable by solder and which does not melt at the temperatures used to reflow the solder and form the connections. The solder preform is used to join the substrates and is particularly useful to simultaneously electrically interconnect the substrates and to form a hermetic seal between the substrates being joined.
