  • Surface acoustic wave device package and method
    Patent number: 5969461
    Abstract: A method for packaging an acoustic wave device (10) without contaminating an active area (12) disposed on a face (14) thereof, including steps of: providing a substrate with a top (30) having conductive pads (18), bonding stud bumps (20) to a periphery (22) of the face (14) of the acoustic wave device, disposing a dam (26) onto the top (30) of the substrate and inside of the location of the conductive pads (18), aligning and connecting the stud bumps (20) to the conductive pads (18) on the top of the substrate to form electrically conductive interconnections between the acoustic wave device (10) and the substrate (16), flowing an underfill material (28) at the periphery (22) of the acoustic wave device and around the interconnections such that the underfill material (28) stops at a boundary (32) defined by the dam (26), and curing the underfill material (28) to mechanically reinforce and protectively encapsulate the interconnections.
