Forming a silicon carrier interposer having an integrated heater includes forming a multi-layer silicon member having a main body portion including a first surface, a second surface and an intermediate portion, and attaching first and second electronic components to the first surface of the multi-layer silicon member. A plurality of vias extend between the first surface and the second surface and are adapted to provide an interface between the first and second electronic components and a substrate. In addition, a plurality of heating elements are integrated into the main body portion of the multi-layer silicon member. The heating elements are selectively activated to create a reflow of solder to facilitate one of an attachment of one of the first and second electronic components to the multi-layer silicon member and a detachment of the one of the first and second electronic components from the multi-layer silicon member.

A silicon carrier package includes a multi-layer member having at least a first layer and a second layer. A first electronic component includes a plurality of connector members that establish a first bond electrically interconnecting the first electronic component to the multi-layer member. A second electronic component includes a plurality of connector members that establish a second bond electrically interconnecting the second electronic component to the multi-layer member. At least one heating element is integrated into one of the first and second layers of the multi-layer member. The at least one heating element is selectively activated to loosen only one of the first and second bonds to facilitate removal of only one of the first and second electronic components from the multi-layer member. The other of the first and second bonds remains intact.

Improved methods of separating integrated circuit chips fabricated on a single wafer are provided. In an embodiment, a method of separating integrated circuit chips fabricated on a wafer comprises: attaching a support to a back surface of the wafer; dicing the wafer to form individual integrated circuit chips attached to the support; attaching a carrier comprising a releasable adhesive material to a front surface of the wafer opposite from the back surface; separating the support from the back surface of the wafer; subjecting the carrier to an effective amount of heat, radiation, or both to reduce the adhesiveness of the adhesive material to allow for removal of at least one of the integrated circuit chips from the carrier; and picking up and moving at least one of the integrated circuit chips using a tool configured to handle the integrated circuit chips.

Solder bumps are provided on round wafers through the use of injection molded solder. Copper pillars or ball limiting metallurgy are formed over I/O pads within the channels of a patterned mask layer. Solder is injected over the pillars or BLM, filling the channels. Molten solder can be injected in cavities formed in round wafers without leakage using a carrier assembly that accommodates wafers that have been previously subjected to mask layer deposition and patterning. One such carrier assembly includes an elastomeric body portion having a round recess, the walls of the recess forming a tight seal with the round wafer. Other carrier assemblies employ adhesives applied around the peripheral edges of the wafers to ensure sealing between the carrier assemblies and wafers.
