摘要:
A flexible sheet used in manufacture of microelectronic components is held on a frame formed from a rigid material so that the frame maintains the sheet under tension during processing and thereby stabilizes the dimensions of the sheet. The frame may be formed from a rigid, light-transmissive material such as a glass, and the bond between the frame and sheet may be made or released by light transmitted through the frame. Preferred features of the framed sheet minimize entrapment of processing liquids such as etch solutions, thereby minimizing carryover of processing solutions between steps. The frame may have contact openings which permit engagement of a metallic layer on the sheet by an electrode carrying electroplating or etching current without disturbing the main portion of the sheet where features are to be formed or treated.

摘要:
A microelectronic component is fabricated by bonding a flexible sheet in tension on a rigid frame so that the sheet spans an aperture in the frame, and performing one or more operations on features on the flexible sheet which will be incorporated into the finished component. The fame maintains dimensional stability of the sheet and aids in regsitration of the sheet with external elements such as processing tools or other parts which are to be assembled with the sheet. Desirably, the frame has a coefficient of thermal expansion different from that of the sheet so that when the sheet is brought from the bonding temperature to the temperature used in processing, differential thermal expansion or contraction will cause increased tension in the sheet.

A method is disclosed for making a microelectronic package. A material is applied to a first major surface of a microelectronic element to reduce the heights of protrusions projecting from the first major surface. The microelectronic element is assembled to a microelectronic component. A method of forming protrusions and an assembly incorporating the microelectronic element having protrusions is also disclosed.
摘要:
A method of making a microelectronic assembly includes juxtaposing a first element, such as a dielectric sheet having conductive leads thereon with a second element, such as a semiconductor chip, having contact thereon, and wire bonding the conductive leads on the first element to the contacts on the second element so that elongated bonding wires extend between the conductive leads and the contacts. After the wire bonding step, the first and second elements are moved through a pre-selected displacement relative to one another so as to deform the bonding wires. A flowable dielectric material may be introduced between the first and second elements and around the bonding wires during or after the moving step. The flowable material may be cured to form an encapsulant around at least a portion of the bonding wires.
摘要:
A component incorporating a dielectric element such as a polymeric film with leads and terminals thereon is assembled with a semiconductor chip and bond regions of the leads are connected to contacts of the chip. At least one lead incorporates a plural set of connecting regions connecting the bond region of that lead to a plurality of terminals. One or more of the connecting regions in each such plural set are severed so as to leave less than all of the terminals associated with each such plural set connected to the contacts of the chip.
摘要:
The present invention provides an interconnection scheme having complaint contacts arranged in an array to connect conductive surfaces on a microelectronic device and a supporting substrate, such as a printed circuit board. This invention accommodates for the difference in thermal coefficients of expansion between the device and the supporting substrate. Typically, an area array of conductive contact pads are connected into rows by conductive leads on a flexible, intermediate substrate. Each of the conductive leads bridges a bonding hole in the intermediate substrate which is situated between successive contact pads. Each of the conductive leads further has a frangible portion within or near each bonding hole. A stand-off between the intermediate substrate and the device is create by compliant dielectric pads, typically composed of an elastomer material, positioned under each contact pad. The frangible portions allow the leads to be cleanly broken, bent and secured into electrical contact with chip contacts on the device. Each of these connections may be supported by a compliant layer, typically an uncured elastomer which fills the area around the compliant dielectric pads and is then cured.
摘要:
An interposer for interconnection between microelectronic circuit panels has contacts at its surfaces. Each contact has a central axis normal to the surface and a peripheral portion adapted to expand radially outwardly from the central axis responsive to a force applied by a pad on the engaged circuit panel. Thus, when the circuit panels are compressed with the interposers, the contacts expand radially and wipe across the pads. The wiping action facilitates bonding of the contacts to the pads, as by conductive bonding material carried on the contacts themselves.
