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

Famous quotes containing the words process and/or steps:
“Im not suggesting that all men are beautiful, vulnerable boys, but we all started out that way. What happened to us? How did we become monsters of feminist nightmares? The answer, of course, is that we underwent a careful and deliberate process of gender training, sometimes brutal, always dehumanizing, cutting away large chunks of ourselves. Little girls went through something similarly crippling. If the gender training was successful, we each ended up being half a person.”
—Frank Pittman (20th century)
“Freedom of religion, freedom of the press, and freedom of person under the protection of habeas corpus, and trial by juries impartially selected. These principles form the bright constellation which has gone before us, and guided our steps through an age of revolution and reformation.”
—Thomas Jefferson (17431826)
