Abstract:
A process and apparatus for removing flip chips with C4 joints mounted on a multi-chip module by applying a tensile force to one or more removal member bonded to the back of one or more flip chips during heating of the module to a temperature sufficient to cause the C4 joints to become molten. The tensile force can either be a compressed spring, or a bi-metallic member which is flat at room temperature and becomes curved when heated to such temperature, or a memory alloy whose original shape is curved and which is bent flat at room temperature but returns to its original curved shape when heated to such temperature. An adhesive is used to bond the removal member to the chip to be removed and is a low temperature, fast curing adhesive with high temperature tolerance after curing.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and an apparatus for removing BGA interconnections from a substrate and an interposer for rework. SOLUTION: The method for removing at least one molten or solid structure from a surface is provided with the step of placing the surface with the at least one molten or solid structure in a fixture, the step of disposing a wiper block assembly made to act by bias at a region at least proximally to one molten or solid structure, the step of retaining the wiper block assembly in a first position with a device having a first temperature point level equivalent to or higher than a second melting point level of the at least one molten or solid structure, and the step of raising the temperature of the fixture to the first temperature point level. When the device reaches the first temperature point level, at least the one molten or solid structure is wiped off from the surface. COPYRIGHT: (C)2003,JPO
