Lead-Free Interconnection For Electronic Devices, Ravi F. Saraf Dec 1998

Lead-Free Interconnection For Electronic Devices, Ravi F. Saraf

Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering: Patents

An electronic device that is equipped with a plurality of bonding pads positioned on the device for making electrical interconnections and electrically conductive composite bumps adhered to the bonding pads wherein the bumps are formed of a composite material consisting of a thermoplastic polymer and at least about 30 volume percent of conductive metal particles based on the total volume of the metal particles and the thermoplastic polymer. The present invention is also directed to a method of making electrical interconnections to an electronic device by pressing a plurality of composite bumps of a polymeric based material against a substrate …

Direct Chip Attachment (Dca) With Electrically Conductive Adhesives, Ravi F. Saraf May 1998

Direct Chip Attachment (Dca) With Electrically Conductive Adhesives, Ravi F. Saraf

Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering: Patents

A simple process for card assembly by Direct Chip Attachment (DCA) uses electrically conductive adhesives. Two methods create the same intermediate wafer product with a layer of insulative thermoplastic and conductive thermoplastic bumps. After sawing or dicing the wafer to form the chips, the chips are adhered to chip carriers with conductive pads which match the conductive thermoplastic bumps, using heat and pressure. Chips may be easily removed and replaced using heat.
