In a described example, a method includes: forming cavities in a die mount surface of a package substrate, the cavities extending into the die mount surface of the package substrate at locations corresponding to post connects on a semiconductor die to be flip-chip mounted to the package substrate; placing flux in the cavities; placing solder balls on the flux; and performing a thermal reflow process and melting the solder balls to form solder pads in the cavities on the package substrate.

Flip-chip package assembly

A semiconductor device assembly includes a package substrate having a top side including a plurality of bondable features, at least one integrated circuit (IC) die including a substrate having at least a semiconductor surface including circuitry configured for realizing at least one function including nodes coupled to bond pads with metal posts on the bond pads. The metal posts are attached by a solder joint to the bondable features. The solder joint has a void density of less than or equal to (≥) 5% of a cross-sectional area of the solder joint.

Semiconductor device assembly with pre-reflowed solder

In a described example, an apparatus includes: a package substrate for mounting a semiconductor die to a die side surface, the package substrate including leads spaced from one another; and cavities extending into the leads from the die side surface, the cavities having sides and a bottom surface of the lead material, the cavities at locations corresponding to post connect locations on the semiconductor die.

Flip chip package assembly

A semiconductor package includes a leadframe forming a plurality of leads with a die attach site, a semiconductor die including a set of die contacts mounted to the die attach site in a flip chip configuration with each die contact of the set of die contacts electrically connected to leadframe via one of a set of solder joints, a set of solder joint capsules covering each of the set of solder joints against the leadframe, a clip mounted to the leadframe over the semiconductor die with a clip solder joint. The solder joint capsules restrict flow of the solder joints of the semiconductor die contacts in the flip chip configuration such that the solder remains in place if remelted during later clip solder reflow.
