摘要:
Forming an isotropic electrical connection and a mechanical bond between two articles having metal surfaces. The resulting bond is preferably between metal contact pads on a dielectric substrate and on an electronic device. The connection is provided by utilizing a conductive adhesive wherein the conduction is provided by metal particles which have exposed palladium thereon. The particles may be the metal palladium itself or it may be some other metal, such as silver, having palladium coated thereon. The particles typically are flakes with the palladium having an incipient dendritic form on the surface, i.e.; the palladium has a multi-pointed surface configuration that can grow into fully formed needle-like dendritic structures. The polymer preferably is conventional polyimide/siloxane which is a thermoplastic, i.e. upon heating softens and upon cooling sets, and upon reheating will soften and reflow.

A method of forming an isotropic electrical connection and a mechanical bond between two articles having metal surfaces thereon and the resulting bond is provided. Preferably, the metal surfaces are the surfaces of metal contact pads on a dielectric substrate and on an electronic device such as an I/C chip or chip carrier. The mechanical bond and electrical connection is provided by utilizing a conductive adhesive, in which adhesive the conduction is provided by metal particles which have exposed palladium thereon. The particles may be the metal palladium itself or it may be some other metal, such as silver, having palladium coated thereon, preferably by electrodeposition. The particles typically are flakes with the palladium having an incipient dendritic form on the surface, i.e.; the palladium has a multi-pointed surface configuration that can grow into fully formed needle-like dendritic structures. However, the shape of the particle is not significant. The polymer preferably is conventional polyimide/siloxane which is well known in the art for use in formulating conductive adhesives. The polyimide/siloxane is a thermoplastic, i.e. upon heating it softens and upon cooling it sets, and upon reheating it will soften and reflow.
摘要:
A method and structure for coupling a semiconductor substrate (e.g., a semiconductor chip) to an organic substrate (e.g., a chip carrier). The coupling interfaces a solder member (e.g., a solder ball) to both a conductive pad on the semiconductor substrate and a conductive pad on the organic substrate. Thermal strains on the solder member during thermal cycling may be reduced by having a surface area of the pad on the semiconductor substrate exceed a surface area of the pad on the organic substrate. Thermal strains on the solder member during thermal cycling may also be reduced by having a distance from a centerline of the solder member to a closest lateral edge of the semiconductor substrate exceed about 0.25 mm.

A symmetrical, flat laminate structure used to minimize variables in a test structure to experimentally gauge white bump sensitivity to CTE mismatch is disclosed. The test structure includes a flat laminate structure. The method of using the test structure includes isolating a cause of a multivariable chip join problem that is adversely impacted by warpage and quantifying a contribution of the warpage, itself, in a formation of the multivariable chip join problem.
摘要:
An array of solder balls is attached to solder pads of one of a first substrate and a second substrate. After aligning the array of solder balls relative to solder pads of the other of the first substrate and the second substrate, a thermal-mass-increasing fixture is placed on a surface of the second substrate to form an assembly of the first substrate, the second substrate, and the array of the solder balls therebetween, and the thermal-mass-increasing fixture. The thermal-mass-increasing fixture is in physical contact with at least a surface of a periphery of the second substrate. The thermal-mass-increasing fixture reduces the cool-down rate of peripheral solder balls after a reflow step, thereby increasing time for deformation of peripheral solder balls during the cool-down and reducing the mechanical stress on the solder balls after the cool-down.

Disclosed is a laminated (or non-laminated) conductive interconnection for joining an integrated circuit device to a device carrier, where the conductive interconnection comprises alternating metal layers and polymer layers. In addition, the polymer can include dendrites, metal projections from the carrier or device, and/or micelle brushes on the outer portion of the polymer. The polymer layers include metal particles and the alternating metal layers and polymer layers form either a cube-shaped structure or a cylinder-shaped structure.

A single phase flux composition suitable for use with high density arrays, that comprises dicarboxylic acid in an amount sufficient to react with the oxidized surface area in a high-density array, a first organic solvent, and a second organic solvent having a higher evaporation temperature than that of said first organic solvent. Preferred dicarboxylic acids are adipic, pimelic, suberic, azelaic and sebacic acids. Preferably, the composition comprises greater than 6% dicarboxylic acid, more preferably greater that 6% to about 15%, and even more preferably from about 8% to about 10% of the dicarboxylic acid. Preferred amounts of the first organic solvent are in the range of from about 25% to about 75% by weight and preferred amounts of the second organic solvent are from about 10% to about 35% by weight. Preferably, the ratio of the first organic solvent to the second organic solvent is about 3:1. A method for using the inventive composition to solder high density arrays which, for eutectic lead/tin solder, involves heating at extended dwell times and high temperature relative to typical compositions.

Pulp production techniques are disclosed. In one embodiment, pulpstone segments are provided, that include proppant grits in the place of some or all of the conventional abrasive typically used in pulpstone applications. The proppant or proppant-abrasive mixture can be combined into a three-dimensional matrix supported by a vitrified bond. Alternative embodiments use proppant grits in an organic bond or a metal bond or a cement bond (each of which may also include abrasive grits in addition to proppant grits). The proportion of proppant grits to abrasive grits can be varied to produce pulp of varying fiber length distribution as required by the end-user (e.g., paper mill). The greater the proppant concentration, the less cutting of the fibers by the conventional abrasive will occur, producing a greater percentage content of longer fibers. Such pulp produces higher quality paper.

Disclosed is a method of forming an integrated circuit structure that forms lead-free connectors on a device, surrounds the lead-free connectors with a compressible film, connects the device to a carrier (the lead-free connectors electrically connect the device to the carrier), and fills the gaps between the carrier and the device with an insulating underfill.
