Abstract: An electronic fabrication process and structure is provided for attaching discrete passive surface mount devices (SMD) to a substrate in a single step. A liquid noflow resin encapsulant containing flux material is dispensed between presoldered pads on a substrate. The SMD, having a pair of electrical contacts, is pressed into said encapsulant so that the electrical contacts make contact with said presoldered pads. Heat is applied to first activate said flux material and then reflow the solder on said presoldered pads to bond said SMD contacts to said presoldered pads. The reflow temperature is maintained for about 180 seconds during which time the resin solidifies. The resin encapsulant fills the space between substrate and SMD and forms fillets around the solder bonded contacts.

Abstract: A method and structure for coupling a semiconductor substrate (e.g., a semiconductor chip) to an organic substrate (e.g., a chip carrier). The coupling interfaces a solder member (e.g., a solder ball) to both a conductive pad on the semiconductor substrate and a conductive pad on the organic substrate. Thermal strains on the solder member during thermal cycling may be reduced by having a surface area of the pad on the semiconductor substrate exceed a surface area of the pad on the organic substrate. Thermal strains on the solder member during thermal cycling may also be reduced by having a distance from a centerline of the solder member to a closest lateral edge of the semiconductor substrate exceed about 0.25 mm.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and a use of naphthalene sulphonate salt(s) under granulated form or as a condensed or diluted solution, and a solution of one or several polyethylene oxide having a molecular weight varying from 1.times.10.sup.6 to 13.times.10.sup.6, allowing for a mixture comprising lignocellulosic particles and an aqueous medium to significantly improve the retention of particles such as fines and fibres, on a wire screen and the drainage of the aqueous medium.
