The present invention relates to a segmented squeegee for depositing a medium onto a surface, such as depositing solder paste onto a printed wiring board. The segmented squeegee may include a plurality of independent squeegee segments or elements, a support structure and a plurality of independent connections or linkages connecting the squeegee segments to the support structure. The segmented squeegee may be used in connection with a conventional stencil such that the independent linkages and the squeegee segments may be structured and arranged to maintain substantial contact between the stencil and the printed wiring board.

The present invention provides a number of techniques for laminating and interconnecting multiple substrates to form a multilayer package or other circuit component. A solder bump may be formed on the conductive pad of at least one of two or more substrates. The solder bump preferably is formed from an application of solder paste to the conductive pad(s). Adhesive films may be positioned between the surfaces of the substrates having the conductive pads, where the adhesive films include apertures located substantially over the conductive pads such that the conductive pads and/or solder bumps confront each other through the aperture. The two or more substrates then may be pressed together to mechanically bond the two or more substrates via the adhesive films. The solder bump(s) may be reflowed during or after the lamination to create a solder segment that provides an electrical connection between the conductive pads through the aperture in the adhesive films.

A process of measuring coplanarity of an array of conductive elements on a circuit device is disclosed. Light is impinged from a reference plane onto an element of the array at a predetermined angle of incidence. Light is also impinged from the reference plane onto a reflective feature on a measurement plane determined by three points of the circuit device having highest elevations from a base of the circuit device, at the same predetermined angle of incidence. A response of the light impinged onto the element of the array and the reflective feature on the measurement plane is measured to determine coplanarity of the array.

The present invention is an integrated heat sink module and a method of fabricating conductive structures on a substrate. The method of the present invention includes cleaning a substrate material to remove any impurities present on the substrate surface. The method further includes placing a protective layer resilient to chemicals used in conductive structure formation, on a first surface. The first surface is opposite a second surface on which conductive structures are formed. The method includes forming conductive structures on the second surface of the substrate. The protective layer is then removed from the first surface of the substrate.

An apparatus and method for a cleaning process control is disclosed. The apparatus includes a printed wire circuit board that is made on a Pyrex glass or other transparent substrate. Components are attached to the printed wire circuit board and then the circuit card assembly which is formed is cleaned using a selected cleaning process. The circuit card assembly can then be inspected to determine the effectiveness of a particular cleaning process by flipping over the transparent circuit card, peering through the substrate to inspect for corrosion and solder balls. The circuit card assembly can then be cleaned more extensively and used again to check a different cleaning process.

The present invention relates to a connector system for resiliently attaching and electrically connecting an integrated circuit chip to a circuit board using a plurality of leads. Each of the plurality of leads are sized and arranged to form a curved body having a first leg and a second leg with a curved portion between the first leg and the second leg. The curved body of the leads may be C-shaped in accordance with the present invention. The plurality of leads may be formed from strips of copper foil or copper mesh folded to form the curved body. The plurality of leads may also be sized and arranged to support the integrated circuit chip in a generally flat arrangement relative to the circuit board with a maximum separation of about 0.016 inches or less between the integrated circuit chip and the circuit board.

The present invention comprises cost-effectively manufactured, electrically conductive and mechanically compliant micro-leads and a method of utilizing these compliant micro-leads to interconnect area grid array chip scale packages (“CSPs”) to printed wiring boards (“PWBs”). The preferred method includes orienting a plurality of conductive compliant micro-leads, secured to one another in parallel with tie bars and tooling, to align with a corresponding pattern of conductive pads located along the surface of an area grid array CSP. The compliant micro-leads are electrically connected and mechanically secured to the corresponding connecting surfaces of the area grid array CSP. Next, the securing tie bars and the tooling are removed. The opposite ends of the conductive compliant micro-leads are then oriented to align with a corresponding pattern of conductive surface pads on a PWB. The opposite end of each compliant micro-lead is then electrically connected and mechanically secured to its corresponding connecting pad located on the surface of the PWB, thereby establishing a compliant electrical connection between the area grid array CSP and the PWB. An alternative embodiment of the present invention utilizes an area grid array interposer with compliant micro-leads to provide additional compliancy.
