  • Publication number: 20050202593
    Abstract: A flip chip packaging process uses an underfill as an encapsultant to reduce the possibility of delamination from occurring due to differential coefficients of thermal expansion, and thus the reliability of a flip chip package structure can be increased. Furthermore, the flooding of the encapsulant over the cutting line need not be taken into consideration for cutting the substrate. Therefore, the usage area of the substrate usage is increased, i.e., more chips can be mounted per unit area of the substrate.

  • Patent number: 6929980
    Abstract: A manufacturing method of a flip chip package mainly comprises the following steps. Initially, a chip having an active surface with a plurality of bumps formed thereon is provided. Next, the active surface of the chip is faced to and disposed on an upper surface of a substrate. In such manner, the chip will be electrically connected to the substrate and a gap between the chip and the substrate will be formed. Afterwards, an underfill is filled in the gap and then a first curing process is performed to have the underfill partially hardened to have the underfill transformed into a partially hardened underfill. Finally, the combination of the chip, the substrate and the partially hardened underfill is flipped over to have the substrate located above the chip, then a second curing process is performed to have the partially hardened underfill into a fully hardened underfill, and then flipping over the combination of the chip, the substrate and the fully hardened underfill.

  • Publication number: 20040201816
    Abstract: A method and structure for broadening cholesteric liquid crystals spectrum are described. An electrode structure is added on a side of cholesteric liquid crystals, for producing a fringe field which is perpendicular to a screw axis of the cholesteric liquid crystal. Hence, the thread pitches of cholesteric liquid crystals near the electrode structure are lengthened, but the other thread pitches of cholesteric liquid crystals far from the electrode structure remain the same. Besides, light having appropriate wavelength is used to congeal the cholesteric liquid crystals having a polymeric characteristic, so that the cholesteric liquid crystals have varied thread pitches while no voltage is applied to the electrode structure. Therefore, the spectrum of cholesteric liquid crystals and applications thereof are widened.
