Abstract

A layer 7 of solder resistant material is applied to a substrate 1 with holes or vias 8 left for connection to the substrate metallization 2, the vias are then filled with solder paste and a component 5 to be mounted is arranged over the pattern of vias and supported by the solder resist layer, the thus formed assembly is then reflow soldered after which the support layer is dissolved; this method prevents residues from being trapped between the component and the substrate, provides better lateral alignment for the component over the substrate metallization pattern and improves vertical location of the component. <IMAGE>

Description

SPECIFICATION A method of joining a component part to an integrated circuit This invention relates to a method of joining a component part to the substrate in the assembly of a hybrid integrated circuit using a solder reflow process.
The component parts are generally unencapsulated and may consist of diffused or thin-film components and one or more monolithic circuits; all have terminals for electrical connection to a printed circuit of one form or another.
A known technique for attaching or joining such component parts to a hybrid circuit, which may be a thick film circuit, is illustrated by Figs. 1 (a) to 7(a) of the drawing and comprises the steps of: taking a ceramic or glass substrate 1, ii. metallizing a pattern 2 of interconnections and passive components on the substrate 1, iii. forming permanent pillars 3 on the substrate 1, iv. applying flux containing solder paste 4 to the metallized connection points 2, v. placing a component 5 in position and supported clear of the substrate 1 by the pillars 3, vi. heating the thus formed assembly to above the melting point of the solder paste to reflow solder the component 5 to the metallized connection points 2, forming an electrically conducting solder joint, and vii. thereafter solvent cleaning away flux residues 6, solder balls and other contaminents.
Such cleaning is necessary to obtain long term reliability for the assembly. Flux residues and solder balls are often trapped between the component and the substrate and the permanent pillars 3, which may be formed of an insulating curable resin or other plastics material, are used to raise the component a few thousandths of an inch clear of the substrate to allow the removal of residues between the component and the substrate.
This technique possesses some deficiencies: i) flux residues are trapped between the pillars and the component, ii) vertical and lateral location of the component with respect to the substrate is inconsistent, and iii) inspection of the assembly is difficult due to the presence of the pillars.
It has also been proposed to use temporary removable standoffs during reflow soldering of flip chips in the assembly of a hybrid integrated circuit.
The object of the present invention is to overcome the above stated deficiencies.
According to the present invention, a method of joining a component part to a substrate in the assembly of a hybrid integrated circuit using a solder reflow process comprises the steps of: (a) applying a support layer of a solder resistant material to the substrate, the support layer having an appropriate pattern of holes or vias to provide for electrical connection between any particular component part and a conductive metallization pattern on the substrate; (b) filling the vias with solder paste; (c) placing the component part in position over the pattern of vias and resting on the support layer; (d) reflow soldering the thus formed assembly; and (e) subsequently removing the support layer.
The vias thus serve to contain and, to some extent, mould the solder as it melts during reflow heating.
Advantageously, the support layer material is soluble in the same solvent that is employed to dissolve and remove residues left after the reflow soldering process has been completed.
The invention is illustrated by way of example by Figs. 1 (b) to 7(b) of the drawing.
As shown, a substrate 1 of glass, ceramic, porcelainised steel or the like has a thick film circuit 2 of metallized interconnections and, possibly, passive components formed thereon by known techniques; a conventional printed circuit board (minus fixing holes) could also be used. A solvent soluble, solder resistant, screen printable compound, for example thick film systems '1092 Maskant' (Trade Mark), is then screen printed to form a support layer 7 of controlled thickness. The support layer 7 has a pattern of appropriately dimensioned holes or vias 8 extending through the layer down to the metallized connection points 2.
The support layer 7 is then heat-cured. The vias 8 are then filled with solder paste 4 and a component 6 positioned over the vias. The thus formed assembly is then heated for reflow soldering and is thereafter cleaned in a solvent cleaner, e.g. Xylene, which removes both flux residues 6 and the support layer 7, leaving solder connections 9.
The advantages to be gained by the above method are that: (i) solder is contained by the vias during the reflow soldering process and this improves lateral location of the chip device (see Fig. 6(b)), (ii) the thickness of the support layer is controlled by an accurate printing process so that vertical location of the component is improved, (iii) support removal during cleaning eliminates the possibility of residue remaining trapped, and (iv) post assembly inspection is improved by the removal of supports after cleaning.
The method of this invention is applicable to components such as chip devices or surface mounted devices or any type of component device not having terminal wires for insertion through holes in a printed circuit board.
