  • Patent number: 8652941
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a dielectric material layer embedding metal structures is ablated from the chip-containing substrate by laser grooving, which is performed on dicing channels of the chip-containing substrate. Subsequently, an underfill layer is formed over the dielectric material layer in a pattern that excludes the peripheral areas of the chip-containing substrate. The physically exposed dicing channels at the periphery can be employed to align a blade to dice the chip-containing substrate. In another embodiment, an underfill layer is formed prior to any laser grooving. Mechanical cutting of the underfill layer from above dicing channels is followed by laser ablation of the dicing channels and subsequent mechanical cutting to dice a chip-containing substrate.

  • Patent number: 8008122
    Abstract: To prevent formation of entrapped underfill material between solder balls and bonding bumps, fast temperature ramping is employed during a chi assembly after application of an underfill material prior to bonding. Voids formed within the underfill material are subsequently removed by curing the underfill material in a pressurized environment. Temperature cycling on the underfill material is limited during the bonding process in order to maintain viscosity of the underfill material prior to the cure process in the pressurized environment. Further, the underfill material is subjected to the pressurized environment until the cure process is complete to prevent re-formation of voids. The cure process can be a constant temperature or a multi-temperature process including temperature ramping. Further, the cure process can be a constant pressure process or a pressure cycling process that accelerates removal of the voids.
