1. Technical Field
The present disclosure relates to a chip package and a method for assembling the chip package.
2. Description of Related Art
Chip packages may include a printed circuit board (PCB) and a chip. The PCB is configured to form a connecting pad. The chip is positioned on the PCB, precisely aligned with the connecting pad, and is fixed to the PCB via curable adhesive, thus electrically connecting to the PCB. However, the chip may slightly float away the connecting pad before the curable adhesive is cured, degrading a connecting quality of the chip package.
What is needed therefore is a chip package and a method for assembling the chip package addressing the limitations described.
The components of the drawings are not necessarily drawn to scale, the emphasis instead being placed upon clearly illustrating the principles of the embodiments of the present disclosure. Moreover, in the drawings, like reference numerals designate corresponding parts throughout several views.
The PCB 10 includes a mounting surface 101 and a connecting pad 11 formed on the mounting surface 101. The connecting pad 11 includes a first metal film 111. The metal film 111 is formed on a surface of the connecting pad 11 away from the PCB 10.
The chip 20 includes a second metal film 21 formed on a surface opposite to the PCB 10. The first metal film 11 and the second metal film 21 are connected to each other via a eutectic manner. Thus, the chip 21 is securely connected to the PCB 10.
A material of the first metal film 11 and the second metal film 21 can be one or more alloys of Au—Sn, Sn—Sb, Sn—Ag, Sn—Pb, In—Ag, In—Sn and Sn—Ag—Cu. The first metal film 11 and the second metal film 21 can be formed using a vacuum evaporating method or a magnetron sputtering method.
In addition, the chip package 200 includes an adhesive portion 50 formed on the connecting pad 31 surrounding the chip 40. The adhesive portion 50 securely connects the chip 40 to the first metal film 311. As such, an adhesive force of the chip 40 on the PCB 30 is enhanced. In this embodiment, the adhesive portion 50 is ultraviolet (UV) curable glue.
Referring to
In step S01, a PCB is provided.
In step S02, a connecting pad is provided.
In step S03, a first metal film is formed on a surface of the connecting pad.
In step S04, the connecting pad is fastened at a predetermined position on the PCB, with the surface of the connecting pad with the first metal film facing away from the PCB.
In step S05, a chip is provided.
In step S06, a second metal film is formed on a surface of the chip.
In step S07, the chip is positioned on the connecting pad, with the first metal film directly touching the second metal film.
In step S08, the first metal film and the second metal film are heated to a eutectic temperature. Thus, the first metal film and the second metal film are connected to each other via a eutectic manner.
In step S09, an adhesive portion is provided on the connecting pad surrounding the chip. The adhesive portion securely connects the chip to the connecting pad. The adhesive portion is UV curable glue.
In the above steps, the material of the first metal film and the second metal film can be one or more of alloy of Au—Sn, Sn—Sb, Sn—Ag, Sn—Pb, In—Ag, In—Sn and Sn—Ag—Cu. The first metal film and the second metal film can be formed using a vacuum evaporating method or a magnetron sputtering method. And the first metal film and the second metal film can be heated to the eutectic temperature by a laser apparatus.
According to different material of the first metal film and the second metal film, the eutectic temperature is different. The eutectic temperatures of typically materials are listed in the following table.
The chip package and the chip assembling method for the chip package using the first metal film and the second metal film to connect the chip to the PCB via a eutectic manner, therefore, the chip on the PCB will not float on the workpiece, and the mounting accuracy of the chip is ensured.
It is believed that the present embodiments and their advantages will be understood from the foregoing description, and it will be apparent that various changes may be made thereto without departing from the spirit and scope of the disclosure or sacrificing all of its material advantages, the examples hereinbefore described merely being preferred or exemplary embodiments of the disclosure.
