A lid attach process includes dipping a periphery of a lid in a dipping tank of adhesive material such that the adhesive material attaches to the periphery of the lid. The lid attach process further includes positioning the lid over a die attached to a substrate using a lid carrier, wherein the periphery of the lid is aligned with a periphery of the lid carrier. The lid attach process further includes attaching the lid to the substrate with the adhesive material forming an interface with the substrate. The lid attach process further includes contacting a thermal interface material (TIM) on the die with the lid.

Systems and methods are provided for producing an integrated circuit package, e.g., an SOIC package, having reduced or eliminated lead delamination caused by epoxy outgassing resulting from the die attach process in which an integrated circuit die is attached to a lead frame by an epoxy. The epoxy outgassing may be reduced by heating the epoxy during or otherwise in association with the die attach process, e.g. using a heating device provided at the die attach unit. Heating the epoxy may achieve additional cross-linking in the epoxy reaction, which may thereby reduce outgassing from the epoxy, which may in turn reduce or eliminate subsequent lead delamination. A heating device located at or near the die attach site may be used to heat the epoxy to a temperature of 55 C.5 C. during or otherwise in association with the die attach process.

Disclosed are a laser bonding apparatus and a laser bonding method capable of bonding an electronic component to a three-dimensional structure having a regular or irregular shape in a curved portion such as an automobile tail lamp or a headlamp. The laser bonding apparatus and method for a three-dimensional structure may prevent misalignment and poor bonding of the electronic component with respect to the three-dimensional structure.

A semiconductor die is bonded using epoxy onto a substrate supported on a heating platform. After preheating the substrate with the heating platform to a temperature of between 25 C. and 60 C., an epoxy dispenser deposits an epoxy dot onto the substrate before the semiconductor die is placed onto the epoxy dot with a pick head to thereby bond the semiconductor die onto the substrate.

With this, it is possible to provide an electronic-component mounting apparatus that is simple and capable of efficiently mounting a large number of electronic components.

A method of dispensing an underfill material on a semiconductor device package. A substrate having a semiconductor chip electrically connected thereto and offset from the substrate by solder joints is provided. The semiconductor chip has a footprint defined by a length and width of the semiconductor chip. Standoff heights between the substrate and the semiconductor chip are calculated and used to determine a volume of underfill material needed to substantially fill a space between the substrate and the semiconductor chip. The determined volume of underfill material is dispensed on the substrate such that the space between the substrate and the semiconductor chip is substantially filled by the underfill material. The method may allow for improved dispensing an underfill material to substantially fill the space between the substrate and semiconductor chip when variations in standoff height are present.
