    摘要: An apparatus and method are described for injection molding solder mounds onto electronic devices. The apparatus has a reservoir for molten solder which is disposed over a cavity in an injection plate. The injection plate is disposed over a mold having an array of cavities therein into which solder in injection molded. The mold is disposed over a workpiece, such as a semiconductor chip or a semiconductor chip packaging substrate. The cavities in the mold are aligned with electrical contact locations on the chip or substrate. The workpiece is heated and the molten solder is forced under gas pressure into the cavity in the injection plate disposed above the array of cavities in the mold. The molten solder is forced into the array of cavities in the mold. The injection plate is advanced to slide over the mold to wipe away the excess solder above the mold at a plurality of wiping apertures in the injection plate. The injection plate is further advanced to a location having a nonsolder wettable surface at which location the injection plate is removed. The mold is then removed to leave solder mounds disposed on the workpiece. The workpiece can be a semiconductor chip, a semiconductor chip packaging substrate or a dummy substrate onto which the injected molded solder adheres such as a polymer layer to form a carrier substrate for a solder mound array which can be subsequently transferred to a substrate such as a semiconductor chip or a semiconductor chip packaging substrate. The apparatus and methods of the present invention can be integrated into an automated manufacturing system for depositing an array of solder mounds onto a substrates.

    摘要: A cooling hat for transferring heat from a surface or plurality of heat generating components to a flowing fluid includes a coldsheet, a plurality of manifold layers and springs. The coldsheet is typically a medium-thin metal sheet usually with fine fins or grooves to readily transfer heat to a coolant. Each manifold layer is typically molded rubber with conduits for coolant supply and return. The conduits form a branched hierarchy. The fluid flow is highly parallel and streamlined which achieves ample flow with small hydraulic differential pressure. Springs gently urge the cooling hat against the thermal joints hence against the components. The hat can bend slightly to conform to a curved surface. Typically some compliance is provided by the hat, and other compliance is provided by a thermal joint between each component and the coldsheet. The system is highly self-aligned for counteracting variations.

    摘要: A heat exchanger for cooling an array of electric circuit chips disposed on a common substrate is formed as a flexible sheet of thermally conducting material with upstanding fins for transference of heat from the chips to a coolant flowing through the fins. The sheet may be provided with corrugations set between sites of the chips for improved flexibility to accommodate individual orientations of the chips. The sheet is sufficiently large to cover an array of chips and is secured adheringly, as by use of a thermally conductive grease, to the chips. The sheet hermetically seals the chips from contamination by the coolant. The heat exchanger may be fabricated of copper with a nickel coating, wherein the copper provides the heat conduction and the nickel protects the copper from a corrosive coolant such as water. The finned sheet may be efficiently fabricated by processes analogous to those used to make printed circuits. In one embodiment of the heat exchanger, the fin thickness, the fin spacing and the sheet thickness are all approximately equal, a typical sheet thickness being approximately two mils.

The particles preferably are silicon, molybdenum, tungsten or other materials which do not react with gallium at temperatures below approximately 100.degree. C. The preferred liquid metals are gallium and indium eutectic, gallium and tin eutectic and gallium, indium and tin ternary eutectic. The particles may be coated with a noble metal to minimize surface oxidation and enhance wettability of the particles. The liquid metal matrix thermal paste is used as a high thermally conducting paste in cooling high power dissipation components in conjunction with a conventional fluid cooling system.

    摘要: A method of joining a thermally conductive element to an electric circuit chip for cooling the chip includes initial steps of forming an oxide-free preform of a fusible metal alloy by extrusion of alloy between two mold blocks or plates. During the extrusion, the oxide coating is left behind so that the extruded alloy is essentially free of oxide. The extrusion takes place at a temperature elevated to approximately the liquidus temperature of the alloy. The preform, which may be in the form of a pill or section of thin foil, is placed between interfacing surfaces of the thermally conductive element and the chip, and is then extruded along the interfacing surfaces under pressure and elevated temperature to form a thermally conductive, oxide-free bonding layer of superior thermal conductivity.

    摘要: A method for forming three-dimensional circuitization in a substrate is provided for forming conductive traces and via contacts. In the method, a substrate formed of a substantially insulating material is first provided, grooves and apertures in a top surface of and through the substrate are then formed, followed by filling the grooves and apertures with an electrically conductive material such as a solder. The method can be carried out at a low cost to produce high quality circuit substrates by utilizing an injection molded solder technique or a molten solder screening technique to fill the grooves and the apertures. The grooves and the apertures in the substrate may be formed by a variety of techniques such as chemical etching, physical machining and hot stamping.
