    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a mounting technique which facilitates removal and exchange when requiring reprocess. SOLUTION: A laminated heat sink contains a metal heat sink 22, and the heat sink 22 is adhered to a foil layer 24. A chip 10 is fitted on the foil layer 24 in a cutout opening 32 in a carrier 12. When having to remove and exchange the chip 10, the foil layer 24 is separated from the heat sink 22, so that the foil layer 24, the chip 10 and chip fitting adhesives 30 are integrally removed, and the chip 10 can be simply detached and exchanged.

    Abstract: A DIRECT CHIP ATTACH TO HEATSINK STRUCTURE IS SHOWN AND DESCRIBED WHICH IMPLEMENTS REWORK WHEN THE CHIP (10, 56, 72) MUST BE REMOVED AND REPLACED. A LAMINATED HEATSINK (20) INCLUDES A METAL HEATSINK (22, 51, 70) WITH A FOIL LAYER (24, 36, 57, 87) ADHERED TO THE CHIP ATTACHMENT SURFACE WITH THE ASSEMBLY SECURED TO A CARRIER (12, 52, 76) AT A CUTOUT OPENING (32) THEREIN THAT DEFINES THE CHIP ATTACH SITE.THE ADHESIVE (26, 28, 38, 59, 88, 89), EITHER A DRY FILM ADHESIVE OR A PRESSURE SENSITIVE ADHESIVE, SECURES FOIL LAYER TO HEATSINK AND PROVIDES THE INTERFACE OF SEPARATION WHEN A CHIP MUST BE REMOVED AND REPLACED.BY PEELING THE FOIL AWAY FROM THE HEATSINK, THE FOIL, CHIP AND NON-REWORKABLE DIE ATTACH ADHESIVE (30) ARE REMOVED AS A UNIT, LEAVING NO CHIP ATTACH ADHESIVE RESIDUE AT THE ATTACHMENT SITE TO BE SCRAPED OR ABRADED AWAY. THE REPLACEMENT CHIP CAN BE INSTALLED EITHER BY DIRECTLY INSTALLING WITH NEW DIE ATTACH ADHESIVE OR BY FIRST RESTORING THE FOIL LAYER PRIOR TO CHIP INSTALLATION. THE FOIL MAY BE APPLIED OVER THE ENTIRE SURFACE OF THE HEATSINK OR MAY BE PATTERNED TO PROVIDE THE LAMINATED FOIL COATING ONLY BENEATH THE CHIP ATTACH SITE. FURTHER, THE FOIL AND HEATSINK MAY BE OF DISSIMILAR METALS TO IMPART VARYING CHARACTERISTICS, SUCH AS A SOLDERABLE SURFACE TO AN ALUMINUM HEATSINK. ALSO, THE TECHNIQUE WOULD BE APPLICABLE TO DIRECT CHIP ATTACHMENT DIRECTLY TO A RIGID OR FLEXIBLE ELECTRONIC CIRCUIT CARRIER ASSEMBLY.IN ANOTHER FORM, THE INVENTION MAY BE IMPLEMENTED USING A FOIL LAYER WITH ADHESIVE ON BOTH SIDES TO SECURE THE CHIP TO A HEATSINK AT THE CARRIER ASSEMBLY CHIP ATTACH LOCATION. A FURTHER FORM OF THE INVENTION USES A TAPE CAVITY PACKAGING STRUCTURE WHEREIN THE CARRIER ASSEMBLY INCLUDES A LAMINATED CARRIER/HEATSINK WITH ALIGNED OPENINGS THAT CREATE A CHIP ATTACH CAVITY IN THE PACKAGE AND FOIL BONDED TO THE HEATSINK ACROSS THE BASE OF THE CHIP CAVITY BY A LAYER OF ADHESIVE THAT ALSO PRESENTS A CHIP ATTACH ADHESIVE ACROSS THE BASE OF THE CHIP ATTACH CAVITY. THE STRUCTURE AFFORDS A LOW PROFILE ASSEMBLY, ENABLES REWORK/REPLACEMENT, SHORTENS WIRE LENGTHS AND REDUCES WIREBOND LOOP HEIGHTS.(FIG.1)

    Abstract: A printed circuit connector terminal pad coating technique is disclosed which functions as a single universal pad surface which supports multiple electrical connection practices including wirebonding, soldering, and wear resistant, pad on pad mechanical connection. The tri-plate surface treatment includes an initial diffusion resistant coating of nickel; an intermediate layer of hard, wear resistant noble or semi-noble metal that provides pad on pad connector reliability and affords a metallurgically stable solder joints and wirebond interfaces; and a final coating of soft gold. The intermediate layer may be pure palladium having a nominal thickness of 35 microinches or a layer of gold, hardened by cobalt, nickel, iron or a combination of these dopants to effect a hardness of 200 to 250 (Knoop scale) . The use of a common surface treatment for the multiple attachment processes is implemented with a single masking step, rather than a sequence of selective masking, plating and stripping operations. In the printed circuit environment, the masking is provided by the final covering that encloses, seals, and electrically insulates the conductors in a circuit board application or in the instance of a flexcable, the adhesive coated flexible coverlay the covers and seals the copper conductor elements while exposing the conductor terminal pads.

    Abstract: A PRINTED CIRCUIT CONNECTOR TERMINAL PAD COATING TECHNIQUE IS DISLCOSED WHICH FUNCTIONS AS A SINGLE UNIVERSAL PAD SURFACE WHICH SUPPORTS MULTIPLE ELECTRICAL CONNECTION PRACTICES INCLUDING WIREBONDING, SOLDERING, AND WEAR RESISTANT, PAD ON PAD MECHANICAL CONNECTION. THE TRI-PLATE SURFACE TREATMENT INCLUDES AN INITIAL DIFFUSION RESISTANT COATING (37) OF NICKEL; AN INTERMEDIATE LAYER (39) OF HARD, WEAR RESISTANT NOBLE OR SEMI-NOBLE METAL THAT PROVIDES PAD ON PAD CONNECTOR RELIABILITY AND AFFORDS A METALLURGICALLY STABLE SOLDER JOINTS AND WIREBOND INTERFACES; AND A FINAL COATING (41) OF SOFT GOLD. THE INTERMEDIATE LAYER (39) MAY BE PURE PALLADIUM HAVING A NOMINAL THICKNESS OF (35 MICROINCHES) OR A LAYER OF GOLD, HARDENED BY COBALT, NICKEL, IRON OR A COMBINATION OF THESE DOPANTS TO EFFECT A HARDNESS OF 200 TO 250 (KNOOP SCALE). THE USE OF A COMMON SURFACE TREATMENT FOR THE MULTIPLE ATTACHMENT PRICESSES IS IMPLEMENTED WITH A SINGLE MASKING STEP, RATHER THAN A SEQUENCE OF SELECTIVE MASKING, PLATING AND STRIPPING OPERATIONS. IN THE PRINTER CIRCUIT ENVIRONMENT, THE MASKING IS PROVIDED BY THE FINAL COVERING THAT ENCLOSES, SEALS, AND ELECTRICALLY INSULATES THE CONDUCTORS IN A CIRCUIT BOARD APPLICATION OR IN THE INSTANCE OF A FLEXCABLE, THE ADHESIVE COATED FLEXIBLE COVERLAY (34) THE COVERS AND SEALS THE COPPER CONDUCTOR ELEMENTS WHILE EXPOSING THE CONDUCTOR TERMINAL PADS (33).

    Abstract: A direct chip attach to heatsink structure is shown and described which implements rework when the chip must be removed and replaced. A laminated heatsink includes a metal heatsink with a foil layer adhered to the chip attachment surface with the assembly secured to a carrier at a cutout opening therein that defines the chip attach site. The adhesive, either a dry film adhesive or a pressure sensitive adhesive, secures foil layer to heatsink and provides the interface of separation when a chip must be removed and replaced. By peeling the foil away from the heatsink, the foil, chip and non-reworkable die attach adhesive are removed as a unit, leaving no chip attach adhesive residue at the attachment site to be scraped or abraded away. The replacement chip can be installed either by directly installing with new die attach adhesive or by first restoring the foil layer prior to chip installation. The foil may be applied over the entire surface of the heatsink or may be patterned to provide the laminated foil coating only beneath the chip attach site. Further, the foil and heatsink may be of dissimilar metals to impart varying characteristics, such as a solderable surface to an aluminum heatsink. Also, the technique would be applicable to direct chip attachment directly to a rigid or flexible electronic circuit carrier assembly. In another form, the invention may be implemented using a foil layer with adhesive on both sides to secure the chip to a heatsink at the carrier assembly chip attach location. A further form of the invention uses a tape cavity packaging structure wherein the carrier assembly includes a laminated carrier/heatsink with aligned openings that create a chip attach cavity in the package and foil bonded to the heatsink across the base of the chip cavity by a layer of adhesive that also presents a chip attach adhesive across the base of the chip attach cavity. The structure affords a low profile assembly, enables rework/replacement, shortens wire lengths and reduces wirebond loop heights.
