Abstract:
Embodiments herein may relate to an apparatus with a ball grid array (BGA) package that includes a plurality of solder balls of an off-eutectic material. In embodiments, the respective solder balls of the plurality of solder balls may form solder joints between a substrate of the BGA and a second substrate. In some embodiments the joints may be less than approximately 0.6 micrometers from one another. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a bonding system (100) comprising an adhesive (200), in contact with a first contact surface (115) and a second contact surface (125), and a solder mesh (310) positioned in the adhesive (200) in contact with the first contact surface (115). Also, the present disclosure relates to a bonding method to produce a solder-reinforced adhesive bond joining a first substrate (110) and a second substrate (120), comprising applying, on a first contact surface (115) of the first substrate (110), an adhesive (200), positioning, at least partially into the adhesive (200), a solder mesh (310), such that the solder mesh (310) contacts the first contact surface (115), connecting, to a portion of the adhesive (200) opposite the first contact surface (115), a second contact surface (125) of the second substrate (120), and applying heat to the first contact surface (115) such that at least one portion of the solder mesh (310) reaches a solder-bonding temperature.
Abstract:
Methods of forming solder bumps or joints using a radiation curable, thermal curable solder flux, or dual curable solder flux are disclosed. The method includes applying a liquid solder flux 130 that is radiation curable or thermal curable to a substrate 110 such that the solder flux covers contact padsl20 on the substrate; placing solder balls 140 on the contacts pads covered with the radiation curable or thermal curable solder flux; heating the substrate to join the solder balls to the contact pads, thereby forming solder bumps or solder joints 150; and curing the liquid solder flux by applying radiation or heat to the substrate, thereby forming a solid film 160. The solder flux includes radiation curable, thermally curable, or dual curable materials that aid formation of solder bumps or joints before the solder flux is cured; and are curable to form a solid material by the application of radiation or heat.
Abstract:
A shielding assembly is configured to provide electromagnetic shielding and environmental protection to one or more electronic components coupled to a substrate. The shielding assembly includes a non-conductive mold compound layer, such as a dielectric epoxy. The mold compound layer is applied to a top surface of the substrate, thereby covering the electronic components and providing protection against environmentally induced conditions such as corrosion, humidity, and mechanical stress. The shielding assembly also includes a conductive layer applied to a top surface of the mold compound layer. The conductive layer is coupled to a ground plane in the substrate, thereby enabling the electromagnetic shielding function. The conductive layer is coupled to the ground plane via one or more metallized contacts that are coupled to the substrate and extend through the mold compound layer.
