Abstract:
Bumps to be connected to inspection electrodes of semiconductor chips are formed on a surface of a flexible substrate. A plating layer is formed which is made of a harder material than the bumps formed on the flexible substrate and which has a concave portion or a convex portion whose diameter is equal to or smaller than half the diameter of the bumps, on a flat metallic plate. The plating layer of the metallic plate is pressed against top surfaces of the bumps, so that irregularities are formed in the top surfaces of the bumps.
Abstract:
A method for packaging and testing a semiconductor die is provided. The method includes forming a temporary package for the die that has a size, shape and lead configuration that is the same as a conventional plastic or ceramic semiconductor package. The temporary package can be used for burn-in testing of the die using standard equipment. The die can then be removed from the package and certified as a known good die. In an illustrative embodiment the package is formed in a SOJ configuration. The package includes a base, an interconnect and a force applying mechanism. The package base can be formed of ceramic or plastic using a ceramic lamination process or a Cerdip formation process.
Abstract:
A process for producing laminated film/metal structures comprising bumped circuit traces on a non-conductive substrate wherein a copper sheet/polyimide film laminate is coated with resist on the exterior surfaces. The resist adjacent the polyimide film is selectively exposed and etched to expose an area of the polyimide film. The exposed polyimide film is etched to form vias through the polyimide film to the inner side of the copper sheet. The resist adjacent the polyimide film is stripped away and a metal bump is electrolytically plated through each via onto the copper sheet. A subsequent layer of resist is electrophoretically applied over the bumps. The resist material adjacent the copper sheet is then selectively exposed and etched to expose areas of the copper sheet. The exposed copper sheet is etched to form circuit traces and the remaining resist adjacent both the polyimide film and the copper sheet is stripped away.
Abstract:
On a semiconductor integrated circuit die, a semipermanent electrical connection is effected by the use of wirebond techniques, in which the parameters of the wirebond are controlled, so that less bonding force retains the leadwires to the bondpads than the attachment strength of the bondpads to the die. The wirebond techniques include attaching leadwires to bondpads on the die, using ultrasonic wedge bonding. The strength of the bond between the leadwires is significantly less than the attachment strength of the bondpads, preferably by a ratio which ensures that the bondpads are not lifted from the die when the leadwires are removed by breaking the bond between the leadwires and the bondpads. Subsequent to testing and burnin, the bond between the leadwires and the bondpads is severed. The die are then removed from the package body and the bondpads may then be attached by conventional means. The technique is useful in providing known good die.
Abstract:
In order to provide pretested bare semiconductor integrated circuit die, a temporary mechanical connection is effected by the use of a soluble material. A semipermanent electrical connection is effected, in which the parameters of the connection are controlled, so that the die remains functional subsequent to burnin and test. Subsequent to testing and burnin, the die are removed from the package body. The technique is useful in providing known good die.
Abstract:
A flexible connector cable for providing high density and reliable electrical interconnections between printed circuit boards or any other surfaces having conductive paths that need connection to conductive paths on adjacent surfaces. The connector cable comprises a flat flexible laminar structure including an electrically-insulative layer and an electrically-conductive layer. The insulative layer is typically formed on a bonded plastic such as Polyimide and the conductive layer is typically formed of copper. Openings are formed in the insulative layer to expose the conductive layer and raised contacts or buttons are deposited on the conductive layer on both surfaces of the cable. The raised contacts are formed of ductile conductive material which exhibits plastic deformation under pressure to form good electrical connections.
Abstract:
An electronic component package includes a substrate and an electronic component mounted to the substrate, the electronic component including a bond pad. A first antenna terminal is electrically connected to the bond pad, the first antenna terminal being electrically connected to a second antenna terminal of the substrate. A package body encloses the electronic component, the package body having a principal surface. An antenna is formed on the principal surface by applying an electrically conductive coating. An embedded interconnect extends through the package body between the substrate and the principal surface and electrically connects the second antenna terminal to the antenna. Applying an electrically conductive coating to form the antenna is relatively simple thus minimizing the overall package manufacturing cost. Further, the antenna is relatively thin thus minimizing the overall package size.
