Abstract: A socket for attaching a flip chip die or ball grid array devices to a printed circuit board substrate having a pattern of solder covered lands, with resources for removing the flip chip die or ball grid array device, resources for directly aligning the solder balls of the flip chip die or ball grid array device to the printed circuit board, resources for using an interposer of dendrite coated vias or pads to electrically and physically connect the solder balls of the flip chip die or ball grid array devices to the solder deposits of the printed circuit board, resources for having the interposer reconfigure the wiring for testing or replacement purposes, resources for utilizing the flexibility and resilience of the interposer to improve dendrite connections, and resources for heat sinking the flip chip die or ball grid array device by direct thermal contact. The socket applies an evenly distributed force to connect the aligned flip chip die or ball grid array device solder ball pattern to the underlying printed circuit board solder deposit pattern through dendrite penetration of the solder using an interposer situated between and aligned to each such solder pattern.

Abstract: A solder joint assembly technique applies controlled volumes of solder to pads of both package and substrate. The two units are positioned adjacent each other with the pads and solder deposits mechanically maintained in registration with each other. The assembly is reflowed and the final separation between package and substrate at which the resulting solder joint solidifies is mechanically controlled in order to control a geometry of the resultant solidified joint. The solder volume deposits may assume various forms including spherical bumps and solder paste deposits.

Abstract: A method is described for electrically connecting flip chips to a flexible printed circuit substrate. The method comprises (1) providing solder paste to a plurality of active contact pads located on the flexible printed circuit substrate, (2) placing the flip chips on the substrate such that solder bumps located on the flip chips are in registration with the solder paste on the active contact pads, and (3) heating the resulting assembly as a whole so that the solder paste on each active contact pad reflows to form an electrical connection with its corresponding solder bump.
