Abstract: An article includes a mounting substrate, a passive component site on the mounting substrate, and an active component site on the mounting substrate. The article also includes a fluid flow barrier disposed local to the passive component site and spaced apart from the active component site. The fluid flow barrier can be a recess that resists fluid flow thereinto because of surface tension of the fluid when it meets the recess edge. The fluid flow barrier can include a boundary that diverts fluid flow due to the angle of the recess edge as the fluid approaches it. An embodiment also includes a packaging system that includes the article and at least one passive component. An embodiment also includes a method of assembling the article or the packaging system.

Abstract: Microelectronic and optoelectronic packaging embodiments are described with underfill materials including polybenzoxazine, having the general formula:

Abstract: The present invention includes a mechanical joint between a die and a substrate that is reflowed by microwave energy and a method of forming such a mechanical joint by printing a solder over a substrate, placing the solder in contact with a bump over a die, reflowing the solder with microwave energy, and forming a mechanical joint from the solder and the bump.
