  • Patent number: 7859108
    Abstract: A flip chip package includes a substrate and a semiconductor chip. The substrate includes a substrate body, a metal wiring having a terminal part some of which is disposed in the substrate body, a solder resist pattern formed on the substrate body with an opening for exposing the terminal part, and an organic anti-oxidation layer for covering the terminal part. The semiconductor chip has a bump formed through (e.g., penetrates) the organic anti-oxidation layer and is electrically connected to the terminal part. The present invention prevents oxidation of the terminal part and allows easy coupling of a bump of a semiconductor chip and the terminal part of the substrate, since an anti-oxidation layer including an organic matter is formed over a surface of a terminal part including copper which is easily oxidized.

  • Patent number: 7387910
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method of bonding solder pads of a flip-chip package. This invention relates to a method of bonding solder pads having different sizes to each other, when a bonding operation is executed between a chip and a PCB, between chips, or between PCBs. On a side having a larger solder pad, a general solder ball is used. Conversely, on a side having a smaller solder pad, a solder ball having a core is used. The core serves to maintain a predetermined interval between the chip and the PCB or between the chips, after the bonding operation has been completed. The solder bonded parts are aligned with each other so as to perform a final bonding operation. In a conventional flip-chip package, solder pads provided on a bonded part must have the same or similar size. According to this invention, even if the size difference between the solder pads is large, bonding is possible, thus ensuring electrical and mechanical reliability.
