    Abstract: A method of making an electronic package. The method includes forming a semiconductor chip and an multi-layered interconnect structure. The semiconductor chip includes a plurality of contact members on one of its surfaces that are connected to the multi-layered interconnect structure by a plurality of solder connections. The formed multi-layered interconnect structure is adapted for electrically interconnecting the semiconductor chip to a circuitized substrate (eg., circuit board) with another plurality of solder connections and includes a thermally conductive layer being comprised of a material having a selected thickness and coefficient of thermal expansion to substantially prevent failure of the solder connections between said first plurality of electrically conductive members and the semiconductor chip. The method forms the electronic package to further include a dielectric material having an effective modulus to assure sufficient compliancy of the multi-layered interconnect structure during operation.

    Abstract: A method and structure for reducing thermally induced strains on the solder joints that couple a ball grid array (BGA) module to a circuit card, so as to improve the fatigue life of the BGA module. The thermally induced strains arise from a mismatch in thermal expansion coefficient between the dielectric substrate of the BGA module and the dielectric board of the circuit card. The method generates void annular regions around portions of the BGA dielectric substrate to which the BGA solder balls are to be attached and/or around portions of the circuit card dielectric material to which the BGA module is to be attached. This results in the formation of dielectric islands or peninsulas that bound the solder balls of the BGA module after installation on the circuit card. The dielectric islands or peninsulas thus formed serve to increase the effective height over which the differential expansion is accommodated, thereby reducing the strains throughout the solder joints. Additionally, the void annular regions provide space for the deformation of the dielectric islands or peninsulas, thereby increasing their compliance and transferring strain from the solder joints to the dielectric islands or peninsulas.
