  • Patent number: 6890799
    Abstract: According to the invention, a sealing top plate in a multi-chip module is formed from a ceramic with high thermal conductivity having a thermal expansion coefficient consistent with that of a multi-layer circuit substrate. A cooling flow path cover covering the entirety of cooling flow path grooves is formed as a separate metallic member. The back surface of the sealing top plate, on which are formed the cooling flow path grooves, is bonded directly to the back surface of a semiconductor device using solder. A thermal-conductive jacket with low thermal resistance is provided. A multi-chip module sealing frame is soldered to the edge of the sealing top plate. Furthermore, a sealing material such as an O-ring is simply interposed between the edge of the sealing top plate and the cooling water path cover, and tightening means is used to tighten the metallic cooling flow path cover and the multi-chip module sealing frame to each other.

  • Patent number: 5973406
    Abstract: An electronic device is solder bonded properly without using fluxes nor precise positioning with respect to a substrate. A bond pad with a size about twice the size of terminal pad of the electronic device is formed in a region on the substrate where the electronic device is to be mounted. After placing the electronic device of the substrate surface, the whole unit is heated in a nitrogen atmosphere to melt a bump formed on the terminal pad of the electronic device. The molten solder wets and spreads over the bond pads formed on the substrate, thereby establishing reflow soldering between the bond pads and the terminal pads. The position of the electronic device with respect to the substrate is spontaneously corrected due to a self-alignment function induced by wetting and spreading of the molten solder over the bond pad of the substrate.

  • Patent number: 5519658
    Abstract: Disclosed are a semiconductor integrated circuit device and methods for production thereof. An embodiment of the invention is a semiconductor chip that comprises fuses constituting part of redundancy circuits formed therein, the fuses being made of the same ingredients CCB bump substrate metal. The fuses are patterned simultaneously during the patterning of the CCB bump substrate metal. This involves forming the fuses using at least part of the ingredients of an electrode conductor pattern in the chip. The cutting regions of the fuses are made of only one of the metal layers constituting the substrate. The principal plane of the semiconductor chip has a fuse protective film formed over at least the cutting regions of the fuses for protection of the latter. In operation, a switch MOSFET under switching control of a redundancy signal is used to select one of two transmission paths, one carrying an address signal or a decode signal, the other carrying a reference voltage.
