Abstract: An embodiment composite material for semiconductor package mount applications may include a first component including a tin-silver-copper alloy and a second component including a tin-bismuth alloy or a tin-indium alloy. The composite material may form a reflowed bonding material having a room temperature tensile strength in a range from 80 MPa to 100 MPa when subjected to a reflow process. The reflowed bonding material may include a weight fraction of bismuth that is in a range from approximately 4% to approximately 15%. The reflowed bonding material may an alloy that is solid solution strengthened by a presence of bismuth or indium that is dissolved within the reflowed bonding material or a solid solution phase that includes a minor component of bismuth dissolved within a major component of tin. In some embodiments, the reflowed bonding material may include intermetallic compounds formed as precipitates such as Ag3Sn and/or Cu6Sn5.

The solder paste is reflowed to electrically and physically couple the spring connectors of the second package component to the first contact pads of the first package component. A device includes a first package component and a second package component electrically and physically coupled to the first package component by way of a plurality of spring coils. Each of the plurality of spring coils extends from the first package component to the second package component.

Abstract: The present invention provides a flash memory including a memory cell, a current limiter and a program voltage generator. The memory cell is programmed in response to a program current and a program voltage. The current limiter reflects amount of the program current by a data-line signal, e.g., a data-line voltage. The program voltage generator generates and controls the program voltage in response to the data-line voltage, such that the program current can track to a constant reference current.

Abstract: A non-volatile memory having a memory cell formed on a substrate is provided. A trench is formed in the substrate. The memory cell has a first gate, a second gate, a charge storage layer, a first source/drain region and a second source/drain region. The first gate is disposed in the trench of the substrate. The second gate is disposed on the substrate at one side of the trench. The charge storage layer is disposed between the first gate and the substrate and between the second gate and the substrate. The first source/drain region is disposed in the substrate at the bottom of the trench. The second source/drain region is disposed in the substrate at one side of the second gate.

Abstract: A method for erasing a non-volatile memory is provided. The non-volatile memory includes a first conductive type substrate, a second conductive type well disposed in the first conductive type substrate, a first conductive type well disposed on the second conductive type well, and a memory cell disposed on the first conductive type substrate. The memory cell includes a charge trapping layer and a gate. The erasing method includes the following steps. A first voltage is applied to the gate, a second voltage is applied to the first conductive type substrate, and the second conductive type well is floating. The second voltage is large enough to induce a substrate hot hole effect. The holes are injected into the charge trapping layer by applying the first voltage.
