A chip carrier package that includes a cover plate attached to the stiffener by a reflowable bonding material is disclosed. Additionally, a thermally and electrically conductive bonding material between the cover plate and the chip itself may be included. Also a chip package including an alignment device to aid in properly aligning the cover plate on the stiffener is disclosed. Furthermore, a method of packaging a chip including providing a reflowable material between the cover plate and stiffener body for attaching the cover plate to the stiffener, and simultaneously attaching the cover plate to the stiffener with an attaching of the carrier to an electronic circuit board is disclosed.

High performance chip packaging and method

An organic integrated circuit chip carrier for high density integrated circuit chip attach, wherein the contact pads or microvias which provide electrical interconnections to external circuitry are located in a first array pattern, while the plated through holes or through-vias are located in a second array pattern. This allows utilization of wiring channels within the chip carrier in which signal wiring traces can be routed.

High density design for organic chip carriers

A method for assembling a flip-chip package having a low stress chip comprises providing a laminate chip carrier having a chip electrically connected thereon, applying the underfill material between the chip and the laminate chip carrier, providing a cover plate and applying an adhesive to the cover plate or chip or both, placing the cover plate adjacent to the chip such that the adhesive contacts the chip and the cover plate, and curing the underfill material together with the adhesive. The resultant flip-chip package has low internal. stress and experiences enhanced fatigue life during thermal cycling.
