4507 results about "Solder paste" patented technology

Solder paste (or solder cream) is a material used in the manufacture of printed circuit boards to connect surface mount components to pads on the board. It is also possible to solder through hole pin in paste components by printing solder paste in/over the holes. The paste initially adheres components in place by being sticky, it is then heated (along with the rest of the board) melting the paste and forming a mechanical bond as well as an electrical connection. The paste is applied to the board by jet printing, stencil printing or syringe and then the components are put in place by a pick-and-place machine or by hand.

Stacked module systems and method

A combination composed from a form standard and a CSP is attached to flex circuitry. Solder paste is applied to first selected locations on the flex circuitry and adhesive is applied to second selected locations on the flex circuitry. The flex circuitry and the combination of the form standard and CSP are brought into proximity with each other. During solder reflow operation, a force is applied that tends to bring the combination and flex circuitry closer together. As the heat of solder reflow melts the contacts of the CSP, the combination collapses toward the flex circuitry displacing the adhesive as the solder paste and contacts merge into solder joints. In a preferred embodiment, the form standard will be devised of heat transference material, a metal, for example, such as copper would be preferred, to improve thermal performance. In other embodiments, the methods of the invention may be used to attach a CSP without a form standard to flex circuitry.

A method for making an integrated circuit substrate having embedded passive components provides a reduced cost and compact package for a die and one or more passive components. An insulating layer of the substrate is embossed or laser-ablated to generate apertures for insertion of a paste forming the body of the passive component. A resistive paste is used to form resistors and a dielectric paste is used for forming capacitors. A capacitor plate may be deposited at a bottom of the aperture by using a doped substrate material and activating only the bottom wall of the aperture, enabling plating of the bottom wall without depositing conductive material on the side walls of the aperture. Vias may be formed to the bottom plate by using a disjoint structure and conductive paste technology.

Material inspection

An inspection station (6) has a ring of 370 nm LEDs (24) for low-angle diffuse illumination of flux. This stimulates inherent fluorescent emission of the flux without the need for flux additives or pre-treatment. A CCD sensor (20) detects the emission. An image processor generates output data indicating flux volume according to a relationship between emission intensity and volume over the surface of the flux. Intensity non-uniformity indicates either height non-uniformity or hidden voids, both of which give rise to defects after application of solder paste and reflow. The inspection is particularly effective for pre solder application flux inspection.

Interconnection structure and process module assembly and rework

An interconnection structure and methods for making and detaching the same are presented for column and ball grid array (CGA and BGA) structures by using a transient solder paste on the electronic module side of the interconnection that includes fine metal powder additives to increase the melting point of the solder bond. The metal powder additives change the composition of the solder bond such that the transient melting solder composition does not completely melt at temperatures below +230° C. and detach from the electronic module during subsequent reflows. A Pb-Sn eutectic with a lower melting point is used on the opposite end of the interconnection structure. In the first method a transient melting solder paste is applied to the I / O pad of an electronic module by a screening mask. Interconnect structures are then bonded to the I / O pad. In a second method, solder preforms in a composition of the transient melting solder paste are wetted onto electronic module I / O pads and interconnect columns or balls are then bonded. Detachment of an electronic module from a circuit card can then be performed by heating the circuit card assembly to a temperature above the eutectic solder melting point, but below the transient solder joint melting point.

System and methods for data-driven control of manufacturing processes

Systems and methods for implementing hybrid, closed-loop control that generates control values for processes defined by a limited number of function evaluations and large amounts of process and measurement noise. The described control system is applied to a stencil printing process for applying solder paste to an electronic medium such as a printed circuit board or semiconductor wafer. The control system is defined by a hybrid approach. A first, coarse algorithm is used to rapidly produce the value of a stencil printer control value resulting in a solder paste deposit having a volume within predetermined acceptable limits. After the coarse algorithm no longer produces solder paste deposits closer to a desired volume, a second, more refined estimator is used to fine tune the process. An additional transitional algorithm may be added between the coarse algorithm and refined estimator. The coarse algorithm may be implemented with a constrained-conjugated gradient search, and the refined search may be a implemented using a least-squares affine estimator or a quadratic estimator. The transitional algorithm may be implemented using a block version of a least-squares affine estimator.

Lead-free solder paste

In a conventional Sn—Zn based lead-free solder, Zn crystallized to a large size of several tens of micrometers, and it was difficult to suppress the formation of coarse crystallizates and to increase the bonding strength without changing the soldering temperature. There were alloys which improved strength by the addition of a minute amount of a Group 1B metal, but the alloys had an increased melting temperature so that reflow could not be performed with the same temperature profile as for Sn—Pb, so the alloys had advantages and disadvantages.By using a solder paste formed by mixing an ethanol solution containing nanoparticles having a particle diameter of 5-300 nm and containing at least one of Ag, Au, and Cu with a flux and solder powder for an Sn—Zn based lead-free solder paste, the formation of an alloy of Au, Au, or Cu with Zn occurs during soldering, thereby forming fine clusters in the resulting liquid phase of molten solder, and a fine solder structure is obtained following melting.
