    Abstract: A sheet of material includes a layer of the insulative thermoplastic material such as PET (poly(ethylene terephthalate)). The sheet is placed down over the wirebonds and a semiconductor die of a substrate assembly so that the sheet contacts the wirebonds and/or the semiconductor die. In one example, the sheet is a preform and the bottom of the sheet includes a layer of tacky adhesive that adheres the sheet to the substrate assembly. The sheet is then heated such that the PET softens and becomes conformal to the wirebonds and the semiconductor die of the upper surface of the substrate assembly. The resulting encapsulated substrate assembly is then encapsulated (for example, by overmolding in an injection molding process) to form a packaged semiconductor device. The conformal PET sheet is embedded within the packaged semiconductor device in such a way that it separates the wirebonds and semiconductor die from another encapsulant.

    Abstract: In one embodiment, a flip chip LED is formed with a high density of gold posts extending from a bottom surface of its n-layer and p-layer. The gold posts are bonded to submount electrodes. An underfill material is then molded to fill the voids between the bottom of the LED and the submount. The underfill comprises a silicone molding compound base and about 70-80%, by weight, alumina (or other suitable material). Alumina has a thermal conductance that is about 25 times better than that of the typical silicone underfill, which is mostly silica. The alumina is a white powder. The underfill may also contain about 5-10%, by weight, TiO2 to increase the reflectivity. LED light is reflected upward by the reflective underfill, and the underfill efficiently conducts heat to the submount. The underfill also randomizes the light scattering, improving light extraction. The distributed gold posts and underfill support the LED layers during a growth substrate lift-off process.

  • Patent number: 8222751
    Abstract: An electroconductive bonding material contains a thermosetting resin, a low-melting-point metal powder which is melted at a temperature equal to or lower than the thermosetting temperature of the thermosetting resin, a high-melting-point metal powder which is not melted at a temperature equal to or lower than the thermosetting temperature of the thermosetting resin and which reacts with the low-melting-point metal powder to form a reaction product having a high melting point of 300° C. or higher during heat-hardening of the thermosetting resin, and a reducing substance which removes an oxide formed on the surface of the high-melting-point metal powder. The total content of the low-melting-point metal powder and the high-melting-point metal powder is 75% to 88% by weight, and the particle size ratio D1/D2 of the average particle size D1 of the low-melting-point metal powder to the average particle size D2 of the high-melting-point metal powder is 0.5 to 6.0.

  • Patent number: 8207619
    Abstract: The extent of a bow of a semiconductor device is suppressed in a case where the fillet width of an underfill resin is asymmetrical. The center position 12 of a chip 1 is caused to deviate from the center position 13 of a wiring substrate 2 in a direction (the direction of the arrow B) reverse to the deviation direction (the direction of the arrow A) of the center position 11 of an underfill resin 4 from the center position 12 of the chip 1. The center position 14 of a resin for encapsulation 6 is caused to deviate from the center position 13 of the wiring substrate 2 in the same direction (the direction of the arrow A) as the deviation direction (the direction of the arrow A) of the center position 11 of the underfill resin 4 from the center position 12 of the chip 1.

  • Patent number: 8207620
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a flip-chip semiconductor package and a chip carrier thereof. The chip carrier includes a groove formed around a chip-mounting area. The groove may be formed along a periphery of the chip-mounting area or at corners thereof. The groove is filled with a filler of low Young's modulus so as to absorb and eliminate thermal stress, thereby preventing delamination between an underfill and a flip chip mounted on the chip-mounting area.

  • Patent number: 8148829
    Abstract: An integrated circuit package comprises a molding compound covering a semiconductor die. A healing substance is on the surface of the semiconductor die at an interface of the molding compound and the semiconductor die. The healing compound comprises a catalyst and a plurality of microcapsules containing a sealing compound. If the molding compound becomes delaminated from the semiconductor die the microcapsules rupture and spill the sealing compound. When the sealing compound is spilled and contacts the catalyst the sealing compound and catalyst polymerize and fasten the molding compound to the semiconductor die.
