Abstract:
Disclosed herein are rouging methods and devices for a flip-chip package. The flip chip includes several outer pads and several inner pads. The routing method includes: setting an outer sequence based on the arrangement order of the outer pads; setting several inner sequences based on the connection relationships between inner pads and the outer pads; calculating the longest common subsequence of each inner sequence and the outer sequence, defining the connection relationships between the inner pads and the outer pads corresponding to the longest common subsequence as direct connections, and defining the connection relationships between the inner pads and the outer pads that do not correspond to the longest common subsequence as detour connections; establishing the routing scheme of the flip chip based on the connection relationships between the inner pads and the outer pads.
Abstract:
A semiconductor device includes a semiconductor substrate; bumps disposed in a plurality of rows along a first axis direction of the semiconductor substrate; and test pads disposed in one or more columns along a second axis direction perpendicular to the first axis direction. The bumps and the test pads form a cross shape in the center portion of the semiconductor substrate. Disposing bumps in the central portion of the semiconductor substrate facilitates forming physical connections between stacked semiconductor devices of a semiconductor stack, regardless of the chip sizes.
Abstract:
An electrical structure and method of forming. The electrical structure includes a first substrate, a first dielectric layer, an underfill layer, a first solder structure, and a second substrate. The first dielectric layer is formed over a top surface of the first substrate. The first dielectric layer includes a first opening extending through a top surface and a bottom surface of said first dielectric layer. The first solder structure is formed within the first opening and over a portion of the top surface of said first dielectric layer. The second substrate is formed over and in contact with the underfill layer.
Abstract:
A system to support a die includes a substrate. A solder resist is disposed over the substrate. A first solder bump is disposed in the solder resist to provide electrical connectivity through the solder resist to the substrate. A second solder bump is formed over the solder resist to correspond with a peripheral edge or a corner of the die. The second solder bump provides standoff height physical support to the die.

Abstract:
A multi-chip stack structure and method of fabrication are provided utilizing self-aligning electrical contact arrays. Two or more arrays of interconnection contacts are provided, with one array being a rough aligned contact array, and a second array being a high bandwidth contact array. The rough aligned contact array has larger contacts and at least a portion thereof which melts at a substantially lower temperature than the melting temperature of the contacts of the high bandwidth contact array. By positioning two integrated circuit chips in opposing relation with the arrays mechanically aligned therebetween, and applying heat to melt the contacts of the rough aligned array, the two chips will rotate to align the respective contacts of the high bandwidth contact arrays, thereby achieving improved connection reliability between the structures.
Abstract:
A flip chip device may have a semiconductor chip with an active surface on which chip pads and a protective layer may be provided. Solder bumps may be provided on the active surface and electrically connected to the chip pads. And a solder bar may be provided on a portion of the protective layer. The solder bar may disperse thermal stress produced in the solder bumps. A metal core may be embedded within the solder bar. The flip chip device may be mounted on and flip-chip bonded to a substrate. The substrate may have land pads to which the solder bumps and the solder bar may be mechanically joined. The solder bar increases a joint area between the flip chip device and the substrate and reinforces solder connections therebetween.

Abstract:
A bump arrangement of a flip-chip is disclosed. The bump arrangement comprises: a conductive bumps array formed at a core region of the flip-chip, a first ring of conductive bumps surrounding the conductive bumps array, a second ring surrounding the first ring, a third ring surrounding the second ring, and a fourth ring surrounding the third ring. In the four rings of bumps, the bumps of the third ring and the fourth ring are staggered each other and most of them are provided for I/O signal terminal so as to reduce the length conductive traces for I/O signal connection. The bumps in the first and the second ring are provided for power connection or ground connection. The first ring, the second ring, the third ring, the fourth ring and the bump at the core region are connected to conductive traces of an interconnection layer through a redistribution layer. The redistribution layer is located in between a passivation layer and the interconnection layer.
