Description of the Preferred Embodiments
Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be explained with reference to the accompanying drawings.
FIGS. 1A to 1D are schematic sectional views showing step-wise a packaging method of electronic components according to one embodiment of the present invention.
Referring initially to FIG. 1A, a connection pad 2 and a connection pad 3, which is provided with a through-hole 4, corresponding to each ball bump 7 of a BGA type electronic component 6, are formed on a printed board 1. Such a printed board 1 can be formed by, for example, a so-called "subtractive method" which comprises forming through-holes 4 by making predetermined positions of a substrate covered with a copper foil on both surfaces thereof, applying copper plating to the substrate as a whole by a method such as an electrolysis plating method so as to form copper plating layers inside, and on both surfaces of, the through-holes 4, and then removing selectively the copper plating layers on both surfaces by etching in such a manner as to leave the connection pads 2 and the connection pads 3 together with the through-hole.
Next, referring to FIG. 1B, a solder paste 5 is supplied to the connection pad 2 and the connection pad 3 together with the through-hole. This solder paste 5 is prepared by mixing solder particles having a grain size of dozens of microns with a flux, for example.
Further, as typically shown in FIG. 1C, an electronic component 6 including a plurality of ball bumps 7 made of a solder and disposed on connection pads 10 is positioned in such a manner that these ball bumps 7 oppose a plurality of connection pads 2 and connection pads 3 together with the through-hole (and solder paste 5), and is then mounted onto the printed board 1.
The ball bump 7 of the electronic component 6 can be formed by a so-called "ball transfer method", for example, which bonds the solder ball to the connection pad 10 through the flux and then applies a reflow operation.
Next, the reflow operation is carried out by placing the printed board having the electronic component 6 mounted thereto into a heating furnace heated to a predetermined temperature in accordance with the compositions of the ball bump 7 and the solder paste 5, and heating and melting the ball bump 7 as well as the solder paste 5. In this way, the electronic component 6 is soldered to the printed board 1 as typically shown in FIG. 1D.
In this embodiment, the molten solder formed as a result of melting of the ball bump 7 and the solder paste 5 of the connection pad 3 together with the through-hole flows out to the through-hole 4 and forms a cylindrical-post connection bump 9 having less stress concentration. A button-shaped connection bump 8 having a button-shaped sectional shape is formed between the ordinary connection pad 2 and the connection pad 10, and the size of the gap (stand-off) between the electronic component 6 and the printed board 1 is determined by this button-shaped connection bump 8. In other words, the height of the button-shaped connection bump 8 when it is molten and becomes round due to the surface tension determines the gap between the electronic component 6 and the printed board 1.
The cylindrical-post connection bump 9 is formed as described above, and its formation is determined at least by the total solder quantity of the ball bump 7, the solder paste 5 and the button-shaped connection bump 8 and by the gap between the electronic component 6 and the printed board 1. A sheet material or inclusion means having a predetermined thickness may be inserted in advance between the electronic component 6 and the printed board 1 so as to secure the gap between them.
As described above, the total solder quantity is determined by the ball bump 7, the solder paste 5 and the button-shaped connection bump 8 and their solder quantities are in turn determined also by the connection pad 10 of the electronic component 6, the connection pad 2 on the printed board 1, the surface area of the paste 5, the thickness of the printed board 1 (the depth of the through-hole 4) and the inner diameter of the through-hole 4.
The height of the button-shaped connection bump 8 is the gap between the electronic component 6 as a completed product mounted on the printed board 1 and the printed board 1, and is substantially equal to the thickness of the sheet material inserted when the electronic component 6 is mounted to the printed board 1 as described above. The connection bump 8 has the button-shape in the same way as in the conventional devices. The cylindrical-post connection bump 9 is thus formed at the connection portion of electronic component 6 where the stress is substantially large caused by the thermal expansion of the portion due to heat in operation of the electronic component 6, eliminating concentration of the stress. On the other hand, the button-shaped connection bump 8 is formed at the connection portion of the electronic component 6 having small stress caused by the thermal expansion, so as to determine the gap between the electronic component 6 as the completed product mounted on the printed board 1 and the printed board 1. The number of the cylindrical-post connection bumps 9 formed between the electronic component 6 and the printed board 1 and the number of the button-shaped connection bumps 8 are determined in advance, and when the number of the connection bumps 8 is so small that the gap for forming the connection bumps 9 cannot be secured, the sheet material is inserted between the electronic component 6 and the printed board 1 so as to secure this gap.
Next, an actual example where the cylindrical-post connection bumps 9 and the connection bumps 8 are formed when the electronic component 6 is mounted to the printed board 1 will be explained.
It will be assumed, for example, that the thickness of the printed board 1 packaged is 1.5 mm, the total solder quantity of the button-shaped connection bumps 8 by the ball bumps 7 and the solder paste 5 is 0.25 mm.sup.3 (with the proviso that the solder paste 5 may be replaced by the flux so long as the total solder quantity of 0.25 mm.sup.3 can be secured for the button-shaped connection bumps 8 by the ball bump 7), the diameter of the connection pad 2 on the side of the printed board 1 is 0.9 mm, the diameter of the connection pad 10 on the side of the electronic component 6 is 0.9 mm and the height of the button-shaped connection bump 8 is 0.4 mm. If the connection pad 3 together with the through-hole whose inner diameter is 0.2 mm is so disposed in this case as to correspond to the ball bump 7 on the printed board 1, the solder in the quantity of 0.05 mm.sup.3 flows out to the through-hole 4 at the time of connection by reflow, and the cylindrical-post connection bump 9 having a minimum diameter portion of 0.6 mm can be formed.
Therefore, the packaging method of the electronic component according to this embodiment can form the cylindrical-post connection bumps 9 having lower stress concentration than the button-shaped connection bumps 8, and the BGA type electronic component 6 can be packaged to the printed board 1 with high solder connection reliability.
As described in Kyushu Matsushita Create Show Seminar Technical Report, June, 1993 and in IBM Journal R&D, 1993, 9, Vol. 37, No. 5, for example, thermal strain analysis reveals that when the spherical solder connection portion is changed to the drum-shaped connection portion having the same shape by the same solder quantity, the stress can be mitigated by about 10% in comparison with the spherical solder connection portion, and effectiveness of the cylindrical-post connection bump 9 of this embodiment is obvious.
Even in the case where the BGA type electronic component 6, which has a great number of ball bumps 7, has a so-called "multiple pin specification", has a different coefficient of expansion from that of the printed board 1 and has large exothermy, packaging can be conducted with high connection reliability.
Particularly when a BGA type electronic component 6 is packaged to the printed board 1 having high wiring efficiency, packaging having high efficiency can be attained by locally disposing the cylindrical-post connection bumps 9 on the connection bumps on which the stress concentrates (for example, several bumps at the corners of the rectangular disposition region of a plurality of ball bumps in the electronic component 6) in consideration of the stress of each connection bump, without impeding extension of the wiring pattern inside the printed board 1 by the formation of the through-holes 4.
When exchange of the BGA type electronic component 6 becomes necessary, too, this embodiment can easily heat the bump connection portion through the through-hole 4 and can melt the solder, so that the BGA type electronic component 6 can be easily exchanged.
FIGS. 2A to 2D are schematic sectional views showing step-wise the packaging method of the electronic component according to another embodiment of the present invention.
Referring to FIG. 2A, the connection pad 10 and the connection pad 3 together with the through-hole 4 are formed on a substrate 6a of a BGA type (which is also referred to as "LGA (Land Grid Array)" electronic component on which the ball bumps are not formed, in the same way as the production method of the printed board 1 in the embodiment described above.
In FIG. 2B, the solder paste 13 is applied to a plurality of connection pads 2 of the printed board 1, and a plurality of connection pads 10 and a plurality of connection pads 3 together with the through-hole of the substrate 6a of the BGA type electronic component are so positioned as to oppose these connection pads 2. In FIG. 2C, the substrate 6a of the electronic component is superposed with, and mounted to, the printed board 1.
Incidentally, packaging of the substrate 6a of the electronic component may be effected by forming the ball bumps on the printed board 1 as shown in FIGS. 1A to 1D without using the solder paste 13.
In FIG. 2D, soldering is effected by melting the solder paste 13 through the reflow operation at a predetermined temperature in accordance with the composition of the solder paste 13, etc.
At this time, the molten solder of the connection pad 3 together with the through-hole in this embodiment flows out to the through-hole 4, and the cylindrical-post connection bump 9 having less stress concentration can be formed. At the same time, the button-shaped connection bump 8 is formed between the ordinary connection pad 10 and connection pad 2, and the gap between the substrate 6a of the electronic component and the printed board 1 is determined by this button-shaped connection bump 8. In other words, the height of the button-shaped connection bump 8 when it is molten and becomes round due to the surface tension determines the gap size. This gap size is also a condition for forming the cylindrical-post connection bump 9.
Though the cylindrical-post connection bump 9 is formed as described above, the formation of this cylindrical-post connection bump 9 is determined by at least the total solder quantity of the solder paste 13 and by the gap between the substrate 6a of the electronic component and the printed board 1. A sheet material having a predetermined thickness may be inserted between the substrate 6a and the printed board 1 so as to secure the gap between them. The number of the cylindrical-post connection bumps 9 formed between the substrate 6a and the printed board 1 and the number of the button-shaped connection bumps 8 are determined in advance, but when the number of the connection bumps 8 is so small that the gap for forming the connection bumps 9 cannot be maintained, a sheet material may be inserted between the substrate 6a and the printed board 1 to secure the gap.
The total solder quantity described above depends on the connection pads 10 of the substrate 6a, the surface area of the connection pads 2 on the printed board 1, the thickness of the printed board 1 (the depth of the through-hole 4) and the inner diameter of the through-hole 4.
The height of the button-shaped connection bump 8 corresponds to the gap between the substrate 6a of the completed product mounted to the printed board 1 and the printed board 1 and is substantially equal to the thickness of the sheet material which is inserted when mounting the substrate 6a to the printed board 1 as described above. The connection bumps 8 are of the barrel-shaped type in the same way as in the conventional devices. In this way, the cylindrical-shaped connection bumps 9 are formed at the portion of the substrate 6a where the stress is substantially large due to heat in operation, eliminating the stress concentration. On the other hand, the button-shaped connection bumps 8 are formed at the connection portions of the substrate 6a where the stress is substantially small caused by the thermal expansion, so as to determine the gap between the substrate 6a of the completed product formed by mounting the substrate 6a to the printed board 1 and the printed board 1.
Next, an actual example where the cylindrical-post connection bumps 9 and the button-shaped connection bumps 8 are formed when the substrate 6a of the electronic component is mounted to the printed board 1 will be explained.
It will be explained, for example, that the thickness of the substrate 6a of the BGA type electronic component to be packaged is 1.5 mm, the total solder quantity of the button-shaped connection bumps 8 by the solder past 13 is 0.25 mm.sup.3, the diameter of the connection pads 2 on the side of the printed board 1 is 0.9 mm, the diameter of the connection pads 10 on the side of the substrate 6a of the electronic component is 0.9 mm and the height of the button-shaped connection bumps 8 is 0.4 mm. In this case, when the connection pads 3 together with the through-hole 4 having an inner diameter of 0.2 mm are disposed, 0.05 mm.sup.3 of the solder flows out to the through-hole 4 at the time of connection by fellow, and the cylindrical-post connection bumps 9 having a minimum diameter portion of 0.6 mm can be formed.
In this embodiment, too, the cylindrical-post connection bumps 9 having less stress concentration can be formed at the connection portions between the substrate 6a and the printed board 1. Therefore, reliability of the package structure of the substrate 6a of the electronic component to the printed board 1 through the cylindrical-post connection bumps 9 and the button-shaped connection bumps 8 can be improved.
FIGS. 3A to 3C are schematic sectional views showing step-wise the packaging method of the electronic component according to still another embodiment of the present invention.
Referring to FIG. 3A, the connection pads 2 are formed on the printed board 1 by the production method such as the substractive method already described. Next, the solder paste 14 whose solder quantity is adjusted so as to form the button-shaped connection bumps 8 and the solder paste 15 whose solder quantity is adjusted so as to form the cylindrical-post connection bumps 9 are applied to the connection pads 2.
Next, in FIG. 3B, the BGA type electronic component 6, for example, is positioned so that a plurality of ball bumps 7 thereof correspond to the solder paste 14 and the solder paste 15, respectively, and is then superposed with, and mounted to, the printed board 1.
In FIG. 3C, the reflow operation is effected at temperatures in accordance with the compositions of the solder pastes 14 and 15, etc, so as to melt these solder pastes and to conduct soldering. In this way, the button-shaped connection bumps 8 having the barrel-shaped section and the cylindrical-post connection bumps 9 having less stress concentration are formed. In other words, the height of the button-shaped connection bump 8 when it is molten and becomes round due to the surface tension determines the gap size between the electronic component 6 and the printed board 1. This gap size is also a condition for forming the cylindrical-post connection bumps 9.
Though the cylindrical-post connection bumps 9 are formed as described above, the formation of the cylindrical-post connection bumps 9 is determined by at least the total solder quantity of the solder pastes 14 and 15 and by the gap between the electronic component 6 and the printed board 1. A sheet material having a predetermined thickness may be inserted between the electronic component 6 and the printed board 1 to secure the gap between them.
The number of the drum-shaped connection pads 9 formed between the electronic component 6 and the printed board 1 and the number of the button-shaped connection bumps 8 are predetermined but when the number of the connection bumps 8 is so small that the gap for forming the connection bumps 9 cannot be kept, a sheet material may be inserted between the electronic component 6 and the printed board 1 so as to secure the gap.
The total solder quantity is determined by the quantities of the ball bump 7 and the solder pastes 14, 15, and these solder quantities depend on the diameter of the connection pads 10 of the electronic component 6 and on the diameter of the connection pads 2 on the printed board 1.
The height of the button-shaped connection bump 8 is the gap between the electronic component 6 as the completed product obtained by mounting the electronic component 6 on the printed board 1 and the printed board 1, and is substantially equal to the thickness of the sheet material inserted when the electronic component 6 is mounted to the printed board 1 as described above. The connection bumps 8 are of the barrel-shaped type in the same way as in the conventional devices. In this way, the cylindrical-post connection bumps 9 are formed at the connection portions of the electronic component 6 at which exothermy is particularly high, so as to eliminate the stress concentration due to exothermy. On the other hand, the button-shaped connection bumps 8 are formed at the connection portions of the electronic components at which exothermy is small, and determines the gap between the electronic component 6 of the completed product obtained by mounting the electronic component to the printed board 1 and the printed board 1.
Next, an actual example where the cylindrical-post connection bumps 9 and the button-shaped connection bumps 8 are formed when the electronic component 6 is mounted to the printed board 1 will be explained.
It will be assumed, for example, that the total solder quantity of the ball bumps 7 and the button-shaped connection bumps 8 by the solder paste 14 is 0.25 mm.sup.3, the total solder quantity of the ball bumps 7 and the cylindrical-post connection bumps 9 by the solder paste 15 is 0.20 mm.sup.3, the diameter of the connection pads 2 on the side of the printed board 1 is 0.9 mm, the diameter of the connection pads 10 on the side of the BGA type electronic component 6 is 0.9 mm and the height of the button-shaped connection bumps 8 is 0.4 mm. In this instance, the cylindrical-post connection bumps 9 having a minimum diameter portion of 0.6 mm can be formed by effecting soldering by reflow.
In this case, too, the cylindrical-post connection bumps 9 having less stress concentration at the connection portions between the electronic component 6 and the printed board 1 can be formed, so that reliability of the packaging structure of the electronic component 6 to the printed board 1 through the cylindrical-post connection bumps 9 and the button-shaped connection bumps 8 can be improved. Further, because the formation work of the through-holes is not necessary, the production process of the printed board 1 can be simplified.
The actual examples have been explained in the foregoing three examples but when the thickness of the printed board 1, the inner diameter of the through-hole 4 and the sizes of the connection pads 2, 10 and the size of the connection pad 3 together with the through-hole are different from those of the foregoing embodiments, the total solder quantity and the gap between the electronic component 6 and the printed board 1 are set afresh so as to form the cylindrical-post connection bumps 9.
Similarly, when the thickness of the substrate 6a, the inner diameter of the through-hole 4, the size of the connection pads 3 together with the through-hole and the sizes of the connection pads 2, 10 are different from those in the embodiment shown in FIGS. 2A to 2D, the total solder quantity and the gap between the substrate 6a and the printed board 1 are set afresh to form the cylindrical-post connection bumps 9.
Further, in FIGS. 3A to 3C, too, when the sizes of the connection pads 2, 10 are different from those of the embodiments explained already, the total solder quantity and the gap between the electronic component 6 and the printed board 1 are set afresh to form the cylindrical-post connection bumps 9.
Incidentally, the gap between the electronic component 6 and the printed board 1 and the gap between the substrate 6a and the printed board 1 are determined also by the proportion of the number of the cylindrical-post connection bumps 9 and the number of the button-shaped connection bumps 8.
