  • Patent number: 9991206
    Abstract: A package method includes disposing a chip and a plurality of solder bumps on a substrate by disposing a plurality of chip interfaces and the plurality of solder bumps on a plurality of first interfaces of the substrate respectively; forming a mold layer configured to encapsulate the chip and the plurality of solder bumps; grinding the mold layer to obtain a grinded mold layer and expose a top side of the chip; drilling the grinded mold layer to form a plurality of through holes corresponding to the plurality of solder bumps; and applying a conductive material to fill the plurality of through holes with the conductive material to form a plurality of electrical paths through the grinded mold layer and electrically couple to the plurality of solder bumps.

  • Patent number: 8237273
    Abstract: A metal post chip connecting device without soldering materials is revealed, primarily comprising a chip and a substrate. A plurality of metal pillars are disposed on and extruded from a surface of the chip where each metal pillar has an end surface and two corresponding parallel sidewalls. The substrate has an upper surface and a plurality of bonding pads disposed on the upper surface where each bonding pad has a concaved bottom surface and two corresponding concaved sidewalls. The chip is bonded onto the upper surface of the substrate through heat, pressure, and ultrasonic power so that the end surfaces of the metal pillars self-solder to the concaved bottom surfaces and two parallel sidewalls of the metal pillars partially self-solder to two concaved sidewalls to form U-shape cross-sections of metal bonding between the metal pillars and the bonding pads.

  • Patent number: 8115319
    Abstract: Disclosed is a flip chip package maintaining alignment during soldering, primarily comprising a chip and a substrate. A plurality of bumps and at least an extruded alignment key are disposed on the active surface of the chip. The substrate has a plurality of bonding pads and at least an alignment base where the alignment base has a concaved alignment pattern corresponding to the extruded alignment key. When the chip is disposed on the substrate, the extruded alignment key is embedded into the concaved alignment pattern to achieve accurately align the bumps to the corresponding bonding pads. Therefore, even with the mechanical misalignment due to the accuracy of flip-chip die bonders and the transportation during reflow processes, the bumps of a chip still can accurately align to the bonding pads of the substrate to achieve accurate soldering which is especially beneficial to the mass production of MPS-C2 products.
