Flip Chip - Process Steps

Process Steps

  1. Integrated circuits are created on the wafer
  2. Pads are metalized on the surface of the chips
  3. Solder dots are deposited on each of the pads
  4. Chips are cut
  5. Chips are flipped and positioned so that the solder balls are facing the connectors on the external circuitry
  6. Solder balls are then remelted (typically using hot air reflow)
  7. Mounted chip is “underfilled” using an electrically-insulating adhesive

Famous quotes containing the words process and/or steps:

    “The practice of S/M is the creation of pleasure.... And that’s why S/M is really a subculture. It’s a process of invention. S/M is the use of a strategic relationship as a source of pleasure.”
    —Michel Foucault (1926–1984)

    “Let there be no steps backward. A thought as to the manliness of persevering, of the want of manliness in yielding to depression, came to his rescue.”
    —Anthony Trollope (1815–1882)
