  • Patent number: 5977637
    Abstract: An integrated electronic device having an electric connection between a first electrode of a semiconductor chip and a second electrode of a circuit board. One embodiment according to the present invention is a method for fabricating an integrated electronic device having an electric connection between a first electrode of a semiconductor chip and a second electrode of a circuit board, both surfaces of the first and second electrodes having an adhesive tendency to molten metal, the method comprising the steps of forming a metal bump on the first electrode, the metal bump being made of a soldering metal alloy consisting of a solid phase component and a liquid phase component at an operating temperature; and forming an electric connection between the first electrode and the second electrode by heating the soldering metal alloy so as to adhere to the surface of the second electrode.

  • Patent number: 5284796
    Abstract: A process for a flip chip connection of a semiconductor chip includes the steps of forming a plurality of stud bumps on the semiconductor chip, on which a plurality of solder bumps are formed, in the vicinity of the outer periphery thereof and on the outside of the solder bumps, providing a cut groove between a plurality of the solder bumps and the stud bumps, mating the solder bumps on the semiconductor chip and the corresponding solder bumps on the circuit board and heating for subsequent integration of the mating solder bumps, and breaking way the outer peripheral portion of the semiconductor chip along the cutting groove after a flip chip connection in order to remove the stud bumps.
