Abstract:
A method is provided for assembly of a micro-electronic component comprising the steps of: providing a conductive die bonding material comprising of a conductive thermosettable resin material or flux based solder and a dynamic release layer adjacent to the conductive thermoplastic material die bonding material layer; and impinging a laser beam on the dynamic release layer adjacent to the die bonding material layer; in such a way that the dynamic release layer is activated to direct conductive die bonding material matter towards the pad structure to be treated to cover a selected part of the pad structure with a transferred conductive die bonding material; and wherein the laser beam is restricted in timing and energy, in such a way that the die bonding material matter remains thermosetting. Accordingly adhesive matter can be transferred while preventing that the adhesive is rendered ineffective by thermal overexposure in the transferring process.
Abstract:
An improved apparatus for filling patterned mold cavities formed on a surface of a mold structure with solder includes an injector head assembly comprising a solder reservoir having a bottom surface with an elongated slot for injecting solder into the mold cavities and a carriage assembly configured to carry and scan the mold structure under the injector head assembly. The mold structure is brought into contact with the solder reservoir bottom surface and a seal is formed between an area of the solder reservoir bottom surface surrounding the elongated slot and the mold structure surface and then the mold structure is scanned under the injector head assembly in a first direction from a starting position to a finish position for filling the mold cavities and in a second direction opposite to the first direction for returning back from the finish position to the starting position.

Abstract:
An apparatus relating generally to a substrate is disclosed. In this apparatus, a first metal layer is on the substrate. The first metal layer has an opening. The opening of the first metal layer has a bottom and one or more sides extending from the bottom. A second metal layer is on the first metal layer. The first metal layer and the second metal layer provide a bowl-shaped structure. An inner surface of the bowl-shaped structure is defined responsive to the opening of the first metal layer and the second metal layer thereon. The opening of the bowl-shaped structure is configured to receive and at least partially retain a bonding material during a reflow process.

Abstract:
A method of fabricating an interconnect structure includes providing a semiconductor structure and performing a first spin resist and bake cycle. The first spin resist and bake cycle includes applying a first predetermined amount of a resist material over one or more portions of the semiconductor structure and baking the semiconductor structure to form a first resist layer portion of a resist layer. The method also includes performing a next spin resist and bake cycle. The next spin resist and bake cycle includes applying a next predetermined amount of the resist material and baking the semiconductor structure to form a next resist layer portion of the resist layer. The method additionally includes depositing a conductive material in an opening formed in the resist layer and forming a conductive structure from the conductive material. An interconnect structure is also provided.

The substrate (e.g., package substrate, interposer) includes a dielectric layer and a substrate interconnect (e.g., surface interconnect, embedded interconnect). The fill is located between the die and the substrate. The conductive interconnect is located within the fill. The conductive interconnect includes a first interconnect width that is about the same or less than the first pillar width. The conductive interconnect is coupled to the pillar and the substrate interconnect. The fill is a non-conductive photosensitive material. The fill is a photosensitive film. The substrate interconnect includes a second interconnect width that is equal or greater than the first pillar width. The conductive interconnect includes one of at least a paste, a solder and/or an enhanced solder comprising a polymeric material.
