Abstract:
In accordance with the foregoing objects and advantages, the present invention provides a fabrication device that may be used during the grinding operation of the fabrication process. The fabrication device comprises a socket plate that includes a plurality of cavities formed therein that correspond in position and number to the solder (or other conductive material) bumps formed on the front surface of a product wafer.
Abstract:
A method of cooling a resistor is provided. The method includes forming a first electrical insulator having a high thermal conductivity in thermal contact with an electrically resistive pathway and forming a substrate adjacent the electrical insulator. The method further includes forming a first electrical conductor having a high thermal conductivity within the second substrate and in thermal contact with the electrical insulator.
