Abstract:
A chip-join process to reduce elongation mismatch between the adherents involves thermally expanding each of a coefficient of thermal expansion mismatched semiconductor chip and substrate a substantially equal amount from their room temperature state in a direction along surfaces thereof to be joined by soldering. The thermally expanded semiconductor chip and substrate are then soldered to one another forming a plurality of soldered joints, and then cooled to room temperature. The process enables elongation mismatch from soldering to be reduced to less than half that expected based up cooling the substrate and semiconductor chip from the solder solidification temperature following soldering, thereby reducing post soldering residual stress, residual plastic deformation in the soldered joints, residual plastic deformation in the substrate, and semiconductor chip warpage.

Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a solder pad interface for a solder joint on a substrate. The solder pad interface includes a soldermask defined (SMD) interface between a solder pad (202) and the substrate, and a non-soldermask defined (NSMD) interface between the solder pad and the solder joint. The SMD interface can include a layer of insulating material (208) configured as an overlaid stencil with apertures through which the NSMD interface of the solder pad is substantially accessible. The SMD interface can include a soldermask (210) configured to cover an outer portion (212) of the solder pad. The NSMD interface includes a raised central portion (214) of the solder pad having a top. The layer of insulating material can be substantially flush with the top of the raised central portion. The raised central portion can provide the NSMD interface between the solder pad and the solder joint.

A wiring glass substrate includes a glass substrate formed of glass and having a plurality of holes formed at predetermined positions, bumps so formed as to be connected to a conductive material filling the holes and wirings formed on a surface opposite to a surface having the bumps formed thereon and electrically connecting a plurality of connection terminals arranged in intervals different from intervals of the holes to the conductive material. The shape of the conductive material is porous and porous electrodes are bonded to the inner wall surfaces of the holes by an anchor effect to increase the strength of the glass substrate.
Abstract:
A reusable burn-in/test fixture for testing unsingulated dice on a semiconductor wafer consisting of two halves. The first half of the test fixture is a wafer cavity plate for receiving the wafer, and the second half establishes electrical communication between the wafer and electrical testing equipment. A rigid substrate has conductors thereon which establish electrical contact with the wafer. The test fixture need not be opened until the burn-in and electrical testing are completed. After burn-in stress and electrical testing, it is possible to establish interconnection between the single die or separate and package dice into discrete parts, arrays or clusters, either as singulated parts or as arrays.

A process for manufacturing a multilayer flexible wiring board, which allows individual layers of wiring boards to be precisely positioned and to be readily stacked. A mask for exposure is prepared in which a plurality of pattern holes corresponding to individual layers of wiring boards of a multilayer flexible wiring board are arranged in the direction perpendicular to the transporting direction P of substrate. This mask for exposure is used to form a plurality of wiring patterns corresponding to individual layers of wiring boards of a multilayer flexible wiring board on the same sheet-like substrate.

The low-elasticity layer 40 is formed of resin composition containing epoxy resin, phenol resin, cross-linked rubber particles and a hardening catalyst.
Abstract:
A bumped semiconductor device contact structure is disclosed including at least one non-planar contact pad having a plurality of projections extending therefrom for contacting at least one solder ball of a bumped integrated circuit (IC) device, such as a bumped die and a bumped packaged IC device. The projections are arranged to make electrical contact with the solder balls of a bumped IC device without substantially deforming the solder ball. Accordingly, reflow of solder balls to reform the solder balls is not necessary with the contact pad of the present invention. Such a contact pad may be provided on various testing equipment such as probes and the like and may be used for both temporary and permanent connections. Also disclosed is an improved method of forming the contact pads by etching and deposition.
