Definitions
- the present invention relates to the fabrication of electronic circuit packages and in particular to methods, and mechanical means for attaching electronic components, especially leadless ceramic packages for electronic devices, to each other or to supporting substrates such as circuit boards.
- Circuit devices such as integrated circuits of complex nature, are embodied in large chips and chip carrier packages (CCP) which have connection pads on the faces and/or edges of the packages.
- Chip carrier packages can be produced with leads attached (leaded) or they can be leadless.
- Leaded CCP's can be soldered directly onto printed circuit boards or printed wire boards.
- Leadless CCP's can be soldered onto ceramic boards or installed into connectors.
- substrates glass/epoxy printed circuit boards or other printed wiring boards (hereinafter substrates)
- leadless CCP's are usually mounted into connectors which are, in turn, mounted on the substrates because of the effect of different thermal expansion coefficients of the materials involved when subjected to temperature fluctuations.
- the CCP and the substrate exhibit different thermal characteristics leading to in-plane stress and strain therebetween as a result of thermal mismatch.
- any flexure of the substrate result in out-of-plane stresses.
- Prior art techniques have used small solder spheres or solder paste to attach packages to substrates. Although such known techniques have been used for such surface mounting, there exists a need for a compliant solder joint to compensate for the large stresses resulting from thermal mismatches between the CCP and the substrate, as well as from board warpage and flexure.

- Figure 8 discloses yet another embodiment wherein the posi tioning means 70 is folded along lines 72 and 74 coincident with the tops and the bottoms, respectively, of the openings 76 to form a U-shaped cross-section having a top flange 78 and a bottom flange 80 that extend transversely at right angles to the longitudinal axis of the delivery system.
- This figure also illustrates a cut 82 in the top flange 73, it being understood that a similar cut exists in the bottom flange 80 to allow the positioning means to be bent out of the plane of the positioning means.
- Figure 9 discloses a solder post delivery system substantially identical to that illustrated in Figure 8 but wherein at least one of the flanges 73' is provided with at least one notch 84, the adhesive surface 86 of the backing means being exposed through the notch 84.
- an optional cover means 88 may be provided in removable contact with the exposed adhesive surface 86 to protect the surface before installation of the system.
- Figure 10 illustrates yet another embodiment encompassing many of the features illustrated in Figures 7-9 but wherein the positioning means 90 is folded along a line 92 coincident with the tops of the openings to form an L-shaped cross-section having a top flange 94 that extends transversely at a general right angle to the longitudinal axis, the backing means 96 conforming to the top flange 94 to provide an adhesive surface capable of securing the positioning means with respect to a substrate.
- the solder posts 98 are secured against the inside of the delivery system in openings shown in phantom.
- the view illustrates the back of the backing means, it being understood that the adhesive surface is on the inside of the backing means 96.
- Figure 10 also illustrates a cut 100 which allows the positioning means and corresponding backing means to be bent out of the plane of the positioning means or at at an angle to the longitudinal axis of the delivery system.
- longitudinal axis it is understood that in the embodiments shown in Figures 1-4 the delivery system and its components comprise a single sheet of material which is readily flexible along the longitudinal axis.
- the embodiments of Figures 5-10 disclose delivery systems having bends which add structural integrity along the longitudinal axes and are therefore provided with cuts to allow the positioning means and attached components to be bent out of the plane of the positioning means along the longitudinal axis.
- Figure 10 also illustrates a chip carrier package 102 having connection pads 104 to which the solder posts will become attached during installation of the delivery system.
- the figure illustrates that the flange 94 may be provided with a window opening, the adhesive surface of the backing means 96 being exposed through the window opening.
- An optional cover means 106 is in removable contact with the exposed adhesive surface to protect the surface before installation of the system.
- window 105 are the equivalent of the notch 84 as shown in Figure 9 and is useful in all of the embodiments wherein it is desired to have the positioning means in contact with a substrate and where it is desirable to have the adhesive surface of the backing means available to secure the system with respect to a substrate.
- Figure 11 illustrates yet another embodiment wherein at least two of the openings 108 and 110 (shown in phantom) of the positioning means 112 are empty and the positioning means is folded transversely with respect to said longitudinal axis between the two openings, the adhesive surface of the backing means 114 extending through each of the two openings to contact itself to define a tab and a corner for the positioning means 112 and for the delivery system.
- four openings at each corner are empty and the positioning means is folded midway between the four openings to define a tab having two openings on each side, as can be better seen by viewing openings 116 and 113 (shown in phantom).
- the positioning means 112 is bent at an angle of 45° from each interior surface to form a total of a 90° bend in the positioning means. Since the preferred material for the positioning means is a Kapton tape which is relatively stiff, the 45° bend is easier to accomplish than the more severe 90°. It is understood that at the far end 122 of the tab, the positioning means is bent a full 180° back onto itself and may even be fractured. However, the integrity of the tab is maintained by the mating of the adhesive surfaces through the openings as discussed earlier.
- Figures 12-14 disclose yet another embodiment of the instant invention wherein a solder post delivery system is provided having a positioning means shown generally at 144 for positioning solder posts 146 wherein the positioning means includes at least three layers 148, 150 and 152.

It is folded at the predetermined points to form the U-shaped cross-section and extensions of the frame at the corner 142 are welded, glued or stapled.
- Figure 16 illustrates another embodiment of the instant invention wherein the positioning means 158 is made of a low-durometer elastomer and includes a plurality of openings 160 therethrough to receive solder posts 162.
- Each of the openings 160 is connected to the inner periphery of the positioning means 158 by a slit 164, the slits 164 capable of being widened to enlarge the openings 160 to release solder posts secured therein when the frame is made discontinuous such as by tearing the frame at cut 166.
- the openings 160 and slits 164 form a keyhole-type cut which allows the positioning means to be simply pulled away from the solder posts 162.
- Typical elastomers that may be utilized are silicone rubber, Viton, polyurethane and nitrile rubber. These types of low-durometer materials are compliant enough that after the solder posts are reflowed at the tops and the bottoms thereof the elastomeric positioning means may be ripped off leaving the pins in place.
- Figure 17 illustrates yet another embodiment of solder post delivery system comprising an external, reusable, hinged frame.
- a positioning means for positioning solder posts having a continuous, generally rectangular frame 168, the frame capable of being discontinuous at 170 upon removal of t he pin 172, the positioning means having securing portions 174 which are capable of releasing solder posts 176 that may be secured thereto when the frame is made discontinuous.

- the frame 168 is provided with corners, one of them being discontinuous at 170 and including the separate removable fastening means in the form of the pin 172 to hold the corner together.
- the other corners 178 are bendable in a hinge-like fashion to open the frame with respect to the solder posts to release the posts from the securing portions.
- the solder posts 176 are held in place against the spaced securing portions by the use of a very small amount of glue or adhesive-type material to temporarily hold the solder posts in position.
- Figure 18 illustrates another embodiment of solder post delivery system having a positioning means for positioning solder posts comprising a continuous, generally rectangular frame 180 , having an inner and outer periphery, but wherein the frame remains continuous in overall configuration and is made from a dielectric material.
- the solder posts 182 are preferably a filled solder and the frame 180 is shaped and perforated to fit the individual application.
- the securing portions comprise openings 184 through the frame, the diameter of the openings 184 being smaller in diameter as noted at 186 than the general diameter of the solder posts where the solder posts are secured within the openings 184.
- the figure also illustrates an alternate shape of solder post 188 which extends generally from only one side of the frame 180. Each type of solder post is held in place by the offset of post material.
- the posts are shown to be preferably somewhat tapered to provide support.
- the dielectric material of the frame 180 may be any suitable dielectric material such as mica or Kapton, etc.
- Figure 19 illustrates a solder post delivery system comprising a positioning means for positioning solder posts comprising a continuous, generally rectangular frame 190 and a plurality of solder posts 192.
- the frame 190 is preferably continuous across the inner periphery thereof and comprises a thin sheet of solder from which the solder posts 192 extend generally normal thereto.
- the frame 190 is capable of being discontinuous upon heating the frame or thin sheet of solder since the solder is capable of flowing to supplement the solder posts 192.
- the securing portion of the positioning means is the integral connection of the solder posts 192 and the sheet 190.
- FIG. 19 Also illustrated in Figure 19 is the die 194 shown in phantom illustrating apparatus which is capable of fabricating the solder delivery system. Specifically, it can be seen that a sheet of fuseable material or solder may be placed in the lower part of the die and hit with the upper part of the die resulting in the formed solder posts 192 connected and capable of being delivered by the remaining attached flash forming the thin sheet of solder for positioning means 190. It is understood that that starting sheet of material may include a thin copper mesh or other filler that will give integrity to the construction but which will disappear from the sheet 190 upon heating.
- Figure 20 illustrates yet another embodiment of the instant invention wherein the solder delivery system comprises a positioning means 196 for positioning solder posts, the positioning means having a plurality of openings 198 therethrough and further including a plurality of 3 ⁇ lder posts with one post per opening, the posts comprising solder paste 200 which fills the openings 198 to define individual solder posts.
- the solder paste 120 is extruded into the openings 198 by wiping the solder paste across the surface of the positioning means 196 by wiping means 202.

- filled solder and solder paste are discussed in the commonly assigned U.K. application Ser. No. GB 2,142,553A, referred to and incorporated by reference earlier.
- Figure 22 illustrates method and apparatus for fabricating a preleaded chip carrier package 210, the method comprising the steps of providing a reusable solder post delivery system defined by a mold 212, having a chip carrier package securing portion 214 in one side thereof, and having openings 216 therethrough for solder posts extending from a securing portion 214 to the other side of the mold 212, as seen in Figure 22A; inserting a chip carrier package 218 in the portion 214; inserting solder posts 220 through the openings 216 into contact with the chip carrier package 218 (as can be seen in Figure 22B wherein the mold 212 has been turned over, as noted by the directional arrow); clamping the solder posts 220 and the chip carrier package with respect to the mold 212 (as can be seen in Figure 22C) while reflowing the solder posts to secure the solder posts 220 to the carrier package 218; and finally removing the mold to produce the preleaded chip carrier package (as can be seen in Figure 22D).
- Figures 23 and 24 illustrate another embodiment of a solder post delivery system of an heat-activated mechanically removable positioning means for solder posts.
- a positioning means 222 for positioning solder posts 224 the positioning means being generally planar and having a plurality of openings 226 therethrough, the positioning means being made from a heat-recoverable polymeric material and the positioning means having a first dimension, as seen in Figure 23, including a first thickness wherein the openings have a first diameter and the positioning means having a second dimension as seen in Figure 24, including a smaller, second thickness and wherein the openings have a smaller second diameter.
- the plurality of solder posts 224 with one post per opening are secured by a force fit within the openings when the openings are at the smaller, second diameter. It can be appreciated that when the openings are at the first diameter the solder posts are released, the positioning means being capable of going from the second dimension to the first dimension upon application of heat.
- a flat sheet of radiation cross-linked polymer is punched in the desired pattern and the opening diameter is larger than the column diameter of the solder posts.
- the positioning means is then pressed while above the melt point to decrease the opening diameter while the opening spacing is maintained.
- the positioning means is then cooled and the smaller opening dimension is set temporarily.
- the solder posts are then inserted as seen in Figure 24.
- the positioning means returns to its original shape and dimension as seen in Figure 23. It is then possible for the positioning means 222 to be easily removed mechanically.
- FIG. 25 illustrates an embodiment of the instant invention in the form of a solder clip delivery system.
- a sheet of flexible, non-solderable material such as plastic, is prepared to have flat, thin traces of solderable metal such as copper deposited in given arrays on one surface. Solder is then placed on the metal. The assembly is formed to bend the metal into a shape so that the solder coated surface faces outward so that portions of the surface are parallel with each other. This assembly is placed between a chip carrier package having matching solderable pads and a corresponding substrate having like pads.
- the application of heat flows the solder, causing the permanent joint to be made between the chip carrier pads and the substrate.
- the act of heating preferably loosens the bond between the material under the metal and this material may be pulled out and removed, if desired, increasing the durability of the joints and allowing them to flex more freely.
- a similar structure may be fabricated by adhering a thin metal layer over an insulated centerpiece and subsequently trimming the metal layer and center piece at the edges thereof to create outwardly extending conductive items which become clips. This structure will be discussed later with respect to Figure 35.
- Figure 25 is a perspective view of a complete device shown generally at 228 wherein 230 is the positioning means for positioning the solder clips and comprises a generally rectangular frame having top surface 232 and bottom surface 234 and having an inner and outer periphery, the inner periphery of the frame having portions having a solderable metal deposited thereon and having solder plated on the metal to define individual solder clips 236.
- the rectangular frame may be cut as noted in phantom at 237 to remove the frame as will become apparent from the following.
- Figure 26 is a partial cross-sectional view of a solder clip 236 shown in phantom. The figure illustrates how the clip is formed wherein the positioning means 234 referred to as the frame has had solderable metal 238 deposited thereon and has solder 240 plated on the metal to define the individual solder clip.
- Figure 27 shows a cross-section similar to Figure 26 wherein a chip carrier package 242 is positioned above the solder clip delivery system 228 which is, in turn, positioned above the substrate pads 244.
- Figure 28 illustrates the parts in position after the application of heat wherein the solder 240 flows and joins the metal 238 to the chip carrier 242 and the substrate pads 244.
- the delivery material referred to as the positioning means 234 may be pulled away from the metal strips and discarded.
- the frame 34 is capable of being detached from the clips when heat is applied to the clips, the heat melting the solder to cause a permanent joint between the metal and the component to be connected in loosening the frame from metal.
- Figure 29 illustrates a method of fabrication wherein the frame is defined by two parallel layers 246 and 248, each layer having portions projecting from only two opposite sides thereof and the layers being oriented at right angles to each other so that the portions project inwardly from all sides of the frame when the layers are brought together.
- the two opposed rows of termination strips are combined at 90o angles to each other and once formed into the preferred C-shapes will have pads closely adjoining in the corners.
- Item 250, in Figure 29, and item 252, in Figure 25, are optional plating busses for the attachment of a current source to improve metal deposition as is known to one skilled in the art. Such an optional plating buss is removed after plating is accomplished.
- a conductive polymer may be used instead of a plating buss 250 in Figure 29, 252 in Figure 25 and yet to be described 262 in Figure 30.
- the conductive polymer frame members provide an integral current return path for the electro deposition of the metals to make the clips.
- Figures 30 and 31 illustrate a variation in the solder clip delivery system described above wherein the solderable metal 252, as seen in the cross-sectional view of Figure 31, taken along section lines 31-31 of Figure 30, is deposited along the inner periphery 254 and the top surface 256 and the bottom surface 258 in a spaced-apart fashion, as seen in Figure 30, to define C-shaped configurations upon which the solder is plated to define individual solder clips 260.
- areas 262 are plating busses which may be punched out prior to the use of the device.
- Figures 30 and 31 everything is similar in arrangement in function to the formed clips described with respect to Figures 25-29, except that the solder clad opposed C-shaped solder clips are fabricated around the edge of positioning means, the opposed sides and adjoining edges are sensitized by chemical and other well known processes to form a site for metal deposition. Doing so in a direct way allows for much finer features to be created and it also permits the features to be formed closer together.
- Figure 30 also illustrates how nested rows of solder clips may be fabricated.
- Figures 32-34 illustrate yet another chip carrier joining device using solder-clad deposited metal over an insulative supporting structure, several of which may be arranged to form an array.
- the supporting structure may be removed by heat recovery from the supporting structure or by chemical means. Removal of the supporting means facilitates inspection and improved flexibility of the joints.
- a solder ring delivery system shown generally at 264 comprising a positioning means for positioning solder rings 266, the positioning means including a plurality of diametrically heat-recoverable rods 268, the rods being adjacent to each other in spaced parallel relationships. It is also within the scope of the invention to use tubes and it is understood that the term "rod” as used herein includes tubing.
- the delivery system includes a plurality of solder rings 266 positioned about the rod, the rods having surface portions about the rods, upon which a solderable metal has been deposited and having solder plated on the metal, the metal and the solder defining the individual solder rings 266.
- the rods 263 are preferably diametrically shrinkable upon application of heat and are therefore capable of being removed.
- the heat-shrinkable tube or rod may be plated or clad with rings of similar coated metal.
- the rod may also be chemically dissolvable. In either case, the rod or tube is used to position the rings in place between the chip carrier pads and the substrate pads. After application of heat to join the pads together by means of soldering, as seen in Figure 34, the rods are removed. Absence of the rods again permits joint inspection. Absence of the supporting rod also permits the rings to flex more freely, increasing the durability of the joints during heat cycling and mechanical flexing.
- a tube it may be conventional heat-shrinkable material which contracts radially during application of heat. If a rod is used, it may be foamed so that upon heating it collapses to a smaller diameter. If the rod is chemically removed, it is fabricated from a material which permits chemical fabrication of the solder-clad rings.
- the ringed rods can be fabricated in a continuous process.
- the rod is photochemically (or the like) sensitized to receive an electrolytic deposit of metal.
- a plating buss wire 270 is pressed into contact with the sensitized areas. Electrical plating then builds the required metal thickness. Tin or other suitable solderable metals are added in turn.
- the plated buss wire is peeled off and discarded.
- the electroplated tin and lead may be reflowed by select infrared or radio-frequency methods so as not to shrink the rod.
- Conductive polymer may be used instead of conventional material for the rod or tube to perform two functions. In the first instance it may eliminate the need for a buss wire 270 or the like during plating. In the second instance, it may become hot enough to recover (shrink) if sufficient current is applied.
- Alternate ringed rods 268 and unringed rods or insulators 272 are grouped together in arrays to match given pad-to-pad geometries. The group may be held together with tape 274 or the like. After heating the tape 274 may be used to remove all of the rods at once.
- Figure 32 illustrates ring rods 268, separated by unringed rods 272.
- Figure 33 illustrates the same relationship for application of heat.
- Figure 34 illustrates the array after application of heat and after the solder-cladding 266a has joined opposing pads. The rods 268 and 272 have been reduced in diameter because of their plastic memory.
- Figure 35A shows a thin metal frame 276 having a square hole therethrough so as to overlap a thin, insulative (non-metal, non-conductive, semi-rigid) center piece 278. The two items are then adhered together permanently to form a laminated structure.
- Partial cross-sectional view Figure 35C taken along section lines C-C, illustrates the item 280.
- Partial cross-sectional view Figure 35D taken along secton lines D-D, illustrates the finished "C" shape.
