SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18447409 titled 'SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICE AND METHOD OF MANUFACTURE

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method for forming solder connections in electronic devices.

  • The method involves applying solder paste to certain areas of a redistribution structure, which has a lower melting temperature.
  • Solder bumps, with a higher melting temperature, are then formed on an interconnect structure.
  • The solder bumps are placed on the regions of solder paste.
  • A first reflow process is performed at a lower temperature, causing the solder paste to melt and form connections.
  • After the first reflow process, a second reflow process is performed at a higher temperature to further strengthen the connections.


Original Abstract Submitted

A method includes forming regions of solder paste on a redistribution structure, wherein the solder paste has a first melting temperature; forming solder bumps on an interconnect structure, wherein the solder bumps have a second melting temperature that is greater than the first melting temperature; placing the solder bumps on the regions of solder paste; performing a first reflow process at a first reflow temperature for a first duration of time, wherein the first reflow temperature is less than the second melting temperature; and after performing the first reflow process, performing a second reflow process at a second reflow temperature for a second duration of time, wherein the second reflow temperature is greater than the second melting temperature.
