Claims
- 1. A method to provide a bond structure on an electronic component to bond said electronic component to a carrier, said method comprising the steps of:
- a. securing said electronic component having a plurality of interconnects into a fixed position;
- b. aligning a foraminous stencil having a pattern of apertures substantially similar to said interconnects onto said interconnects;
- c. applying a metallurgical paste through said stencil onto said interconnects;
- d. heating said electronic component and said stencil to reflow said metallurgical paste; and
- e. cooling said electronic component and said stencil to form said bond structure.
- 2. The method of claim 1, further comprising the steps of:
- f. removing said stencil from on top of said electronic component; and
- g. cleaning said electronic component to remove residue of said metallurgical paste not on said bond structure.
- 3. The method of claim 1, wherein said step of heating is at a temperature range lower than the melting point range of said interconnects.
- 4. The method of claim 3, wherein said step of heating is at a temperature range lower than the decomposition temperature range of said carrier.
- 5. The method of claim 1, wherein said stencil is made from the group consisting of molybdenum, titanium, and an iron/nickel based alloy.
- 6. The method of claim 1, wherein said step of aligning substantially aligns said apertures of said stencil around the base of said interconnects so that said metallurgical paste substantially covers said interconnects.
- 7. The method of claim 1, wherein said step of aligning aligns said apertures around a portion of said interconnects so that said metallurgical paste reflows only onto a portion of said interconnects.
- 8. The method of claim 1, wherein said metallurgical paste is a low melting point solder having more than fifty percent by weight of lead.
- 9. The method of claim 1, wherein said electronic component is a semiconductor chip.
- 10. The method of claim 1, wherein said electronic component is an integrated circuit.
- 11. The method of claim 1, wherein said electronic component is a semiconductor wafer.
