A semiconductor device has a semiconductor die with a plurality of bumps formed over contact pads on a surface of the semiconductor die. The bumps can have a fusible portion and non-fusible portion. A plurality of conductive traces is formed over a substrate with interconnect sites having a width greater than 20% and less than 80% of a width of a contact interface between the bumps and contact pads. The bumps are bonded to the interconnect sites so that the bumps cover a top surface and side surface of the interconnect sites. An encapsulant is deposited around the bumps between the semiconductor die and substrate. The conductive traces have a pitch as determined by minimum spacing between adjacent conductive traces that can be placed on the substrate and the width of the interconnect site provides a routing density equal to the pitch of the conductive traces.

The proposed semiconductor device may include a semiconductor chip provided with a semiconductor substrate and a surface electrode provided on a surface of the semiconductor substrate; and a conductive plate provided with a plate shape portion and a convex portion protruding from the plate shape portion. An end surface of the convex portion may be corrected to the surface electrode. A width of the end surface of the convex portion may be narrower than a width of a base portion of the convex portion on a plate shape portion side.

A stacked wafer assembly is made by forming a grid of grooves corresponding to projected dicing lines in a face side of each of two wafers, thereby forming demarcated areas on the face side of each of the two wafers. One of the wafers is installed with demarcated areas face upwardly, and thereafter liquid is supplied to the demarcated areas in a quantity just enough to stay on upper surfaces of the demarcated areas without overflowing. The other wafer is placed over the one wafer with demarcated areas of the other wafer facing the respective demarcated areas of the one wafer, thereby bringing respective central positions of the facing demarcated areas of the wafers into self-alignment with each other under the surface tension of the liquid sandwiched between the facing demarcated areas. The liquid is removed to bring the wafers into intimate contact with each other.

A method of establishing conductive connections is disclosed. The method includes providing an integrated circuit die having a plurality of solder balls each of which has an oxide layer on an outer surface of the solder ball. The method also includes performing a heating process to heat at least the solder balls and applying a force causing each of a plurality of piercing bond structures on a substrate to pierce one of the solder balls and its associated oxide layer to thereby establish a conductive connection between the solder ball and the piercing bond structure.

According to the semiconductor chip bonding apparatus and the semiconductor chip bonding method, productivity may be increased by quickly and accurately bonding a semiconductor chip to a substrate or another semiconductor chip.

A method for use with multiple chips, each respectively having a bonding surface including electrical contacts and a surface on a side opposite the bonding surface involves bringing a hardenable material located on a body into contact with the multiple chips, hardening the hardenable material so as to constrain at least a portion of each of the multiple chips, moving the multiple chips from a first location to a second location, applying a force to the body such that the hardened, hardenable material will uniformly transfer a vertical force, applied to the body, to the chips so as to bring, under pressure, a bonding surface of each individual chip into contact with a bonding surface of an element to which the individual chips will be bonded, at the second location, without causing damage to the individual chips, element, or bonding surface.

A chip bonding apparatus for bonding a chip and a redistribution structure with each other is provided. The chip bonding apparatus includes a pick and place module and an alignment module. The pick and place module is suitable for picking up and placing the chip. The alignment module is movably connected to the pick and place module.

Furthermore, a chip bonding method and a chip package structure are provided.

Ball grid assembly (BGA) bumping solder is formed on the back side of a laminate panel within a patterned temporary resist. Processes such as singulation and flip chip module assembly are conducted following BGA bumping with the temporary resist in place. The resist is removed from the back side of the singulated laminate panel prior to card assembly. Stand-off elements having relatively high melting points can be incorporated on the BGA side of the laminate panel to ensure a minimum assembly solder collapse height. Alignment assemblies are formed on the socket-facing side of an LGA module using elements having relatively high melting points and injected solder.
