20090279275 | METHOD OF ATTACHING AN INTEGRATED CIRCUIT CHIP TO A MODULE - A method of attaching an integrated circuit chip to a module and a resultant structure. The method includes placing a solder bump tape between the chip and the module, the solder bump tape including an array of solder columns embedded in a dielectric sheet; aligning and contacting top surfaces of solder columns with respective chip pads of an array of chip pads of the chip and aligning and contacting bottom surfaces of the solder columns with respective module pads of an array of module pads; and reflowing the solder columns to form solder interconnections between chip pads and respective module pads. | 11-12-2009 |
20090321914 | PRODUCTION OF INTEGRATED CIRCUIT CHIP PACKAGES PROHIBITING FORMATION OF MICRO SOLDER BALLS - Methods for making, and structures so made for producing integrated circuit (IC) chip packages without forming micro solder balls. In one embodiment, a method may include placing a solid grid made from an organic material between the IC chip and the substrate. The grid provides a physical barrier between each of a plurality of Controlled Collapse Chip Connections, and thereby prevents the formation of micro solder balls between them, thus improving chip performance and reliability. | 12-31-2009 |
