  • Patent number: 9583366
    Abstract: A method of feeding underfill material to fill a space between a semiconductor die and a substrate onto which the semiconductor die has been bonded, the method comprises positioning a stencil over the semiconductor die. The stencil has an elongated slot extending adjacent to an edge of the semiconductor die. Underfill material is printed through the slot such that the underfill material falls through the slot onto the substrate next to the edge of the semiconductor die. Thereafter, the underfill material is heated such that the underfill material flows across the space between the semiconductor die and the substrate from the edge of the semiconductor die to an opposite edge thereof through capillary action.

    Abstract: An apparatus having a three-dimensional integrated circuit structure is described herein. The apparatus include an interposer for carrying a plurality of high and low-power chips. The high-power chips are attached and connected to one side of the interposer, while the low-power chips are attached and connected to the other side of the interposer. In generally, the high-power chips produce more heat than does the low-power chip during their operations. The interposer further include through silicon vias and redistribution layers for connecting the chips on both surfaces. In addition, the interposer assembly is attached and connected to a substrate layer, which is in turn attached and connected to a printed circuit board. In order to provide improve thermal management, the interposer surface carrying the high-power chips are oriented away from the circuit board. A heat spreader is attached to the back sides of the high-power chips for dissipating the heat.
