Abstract: An integrated circuit module, a land grid array module, and a method for forming the module, include a substrate, which mounts one or more chips or discrete electronic components, and a cap for covering the substrate, and including at least one protrusion coupled to the cap for limiting the amount of flexing of the substrate during actuation. The at least one protrusion can be either rigidly fixed to the cap or adjustably inserted through the cap.

Abstract: Electronic packages incorporating EMI shielding, and particularly semiconductor devices which incorporate semiconductor chip-carrier structures having grounded bands embedded therein which are adapted to reduce outgoing and incident EMI emissions for high-speed switching electronic packages.

Abstract: The present invention relates generally to a new apparatus and method for a land grid array electronic module. The land grid array electronic module packaging assembly includes a substrate member upon which electronic components are mounted and which is permanently fastened to an frame member that engages an alignment and mounting feature of an underlying socket. The frame member is sized to overlap the substrate member on at least two opposing edges thereof, and is permanently affixed to the substrate member by an adhesive applied to the overlap. The assembly arrangement allows a permanently correct alignment of the substrate to the underlying socket at minimal expense in valuable substrate top surface real estate. The adhesive accommodates the different thermal expansions between the substrate member and frame member.

Abstract: A semiconductor chip module uses a silicone adhesive between the semiconductor chip and a cap, said adhesive having sufficient bond strength to secure said cap to said chip without additional mechanical constraint while providing a direct thermally conductive path and permitting sufficient heat flow from said chip to said cap to maintain steady state operation of said semiconductor chip. The preferred silicone adhesive comprises a primerless, two-part polysiloxane-based adhesive made by reacting polydimethyl siloxane, an organosilicon compound, a polysiloxane, and a silane, in the presence of a catalyst.
