Patent number: 12183702Abstract: A flip chip device and methods for fabrication are provided. An interconnect layer for a device include a plurality of solder bumps arranged within the interconnect layer. A first subset of the plurality of solder bumps has a first cross-sectional area, where the first subset is arranged along a first position at a first edge of the interconnect layer. A second subset of the plurality of solder bumps has a second cross-sectional area, where the second subset is arranged at a second position of the interconnect layer. A third subset of the plurality of solder bumps is arranged between the first position and the second position, where the third subset has a plurality of cross-sectional areas.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2021Date of Patent: December 31, 2024Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Kamal K. Sikka, Charles Leon Arvin, Thomas Edward Lombardi, Piyas Bal Chowdhury, Alfred Grill, Steven Lorenz Wright

Patent number: 9433105Abstract: An electrically insulating substrate is provided. The electrically insulating substrate includes a set of areas to be formed into a set of printed circuit boards. Each of the set of areas is separated from others of the set of areas by a dicing channel. A set of signal wiring conductors is fabricated onto the set of areas of the electrically insulating substrate so that at least one of the set of signal wiring conductors terminates proximate to the dicing channel. A set of plated through holes is fabricated through at least one of the set of areas such that at least one of the set of plated through holes connects to at least one of the set of signal wiring conductors. The electrically insulating substrate is singulated along a set of singulation lines to form the set of printed circuit boards. The singulation lines intersect with the plated through holes, so that a portion of the plated through holes is exposed along the peripheral edge of the resulting printed circuit boards.Type: GrantFiled: August 25, 2009Date of Patent: August 30, 2016Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Richard Stephen Graf, Thomas Edward Lombardi, Sudipta Kumar Ray, David Justin West

Patent number: 9293439Abstract: An improved electronic module assembly and method of fabrication is disclosed. A patterned array of adhesive is deposited on a laminate, to which a chip is attached. Each region of adhesive is referred to as a lid tie. A lid is placed on the laminate, and is in contact with the lid ties. The lid ties serve to add stability to the laminate and reduce flexing during thermal processing and mechanical stress.Type: GrantFiled: December 11, 2014Date of Patent: March 22, 2016Assignee: GLOBALFOUNDRIES Inc.Inventors: Edmund Blackshear, Elaine Cyr, Benjamin Vito Fasano, Paul Francis Fortier, Marcus E. Interrante, Roger Lam, Shidong Li, Thomas Edward Lombardi, Hilton T. Toy, Thomas Weiss
