Publication number: 20070246853Abstract: A system and method are provided for injection molding conductive bonding material into a plurality of cavities in a mold within a vacuum chamber. A mold and a fill head are located within a vacuum chamber, wherein the mold includes a plurality of cavities. A vacuum is created within the vacuum chamber, thereby removing air from the chamber and from the cavities. Optionally, rotational motion is provided to at least one of the mold and the fill head while the fill head is in substantial contact with the mold. Conductive bonding material is forced out of the fill head toward the mold, and into at least one of the cavities, while a vacuum is maintained in the vacuum chamber.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 6, 2007Publication date: October 25, 2007Applicant: INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATIONInventors: S. CHEY, Steven Cordes, Peter Gruber, John Knickerbocker, James Speidell
