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.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a ceramic substrate of low thermal-expansion factor by providing a plurality of layers of a multi-layer ceramic material comprising a sealing layer and a via hole which, filled with a metal material, comprises no ceramic material. SOLUTION: At a via hole part 24 of a first layer 12, a via hole 26 which, filled with a metal material, comprises no ceramic material is formed. A via hole 28 comprising a mixture of metal material and ceramic material is inserted in a second layer 14, and the via hole 28 so seals a ceramic substrate 10 not to penetrate deeper than the first layer 12. For a third layer 16, a via hole 30 comprising no ceramic material is formed related to the via hole 26 in the first layer 12. Thus, the via holes 26, 28, and 30 of the plurality of layers 12, 14, and 16 allows transmission of electric signal and power between layers, sealing an outside part layer 20 with a via hole 38.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for manufacturing a silicon carrier, having a conductive through-via for achieving the high yield manufacturing of a silicon carrier with low defect density. SOLUTION: This silicon carrier 43 is formed with via diameters, ranging from one micron to 10 microns, with respect to vertical thickness ranging from 10 microns or smallers to 300 microns or larger. Thus, it is possible to manufacture a silicon carrier which is resistant to a thermal mechanical stresses, when manufacturing, and significant minimization of its thermal mechanical movement on a via side wall interface among silicon materials, insulator materials, linear materials and conductive materials is effected.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a Si-based packaging with integrated passive components for millimeter wave applications. SOLUTION: An apparatus is described incorporating an interposer 1 having a cavity for a portion of an antenna structure 22, having conductor through vias 3, a top Si part 6 having interconnection wiring 72, 73, 74 and having pads for electrically mounting an integrated circuit chip 21 thereon, wherein the top Si part mates with the interposer electrically and mechanically. The interposer and the top Si part may be scaled to provide an array of functional units. This invention overcomes the problem of combining a high efficient antenna with integrated circuit chips in a Si package with signal frequencies from 1 to 100 GHz and the problem of shielding components proximate to the antenna and reduces strain arising from mismatching of TCEs.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an apparatus and method for forming a step-like construction for connection of optical waveguides between a card and a backplane. SOLUTION: Optical waveguides 20 and conductors are embedded in a card 10, and ends 45 terminating at the step-like construction exist therein. Optical fiber ribbons 50 project from the ends 45. Also, a guide structure 60 is connected to the ends 45. The guide structure 60 has grooves for guiding and aligning the ribbons 50. Optical waveguides 25 and conductors are embedded in a backplane 70 as well, and have ends 75 terminating at the step-like construction and an aperture 90 having a slope. A guide structure 80 is connected to the ends 75. The aperture 90 having the slope accepts and guides the ribbons 50 and brings the ribbons into tight proximity to the optical waveguides 25, thereby forming the step-like construction consisting of the connected waveguides between the card 10 and the backplane 70.

SOLUTION: The system, the method and a device for feeding the conductive bonding material into the plurality of cavities in the circuit support substrate are disclosed. The method includes a step for setting up a filling head in a state that it contacts the circuit support substrate substantially. The circuit support substrate includes at least one cavity. While the filling head contacts the circuit support substrate substantially, straight-line motion or rotational movement is imparted to at least one of the circuit support substrate and the filling head. The conductive bonding material is extruded toward the circuit support substrate from the filling head. At the same time at least one cavity comes very close to the filling head, the conductive bonding material is fed into at least the one cavity. COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT
