Abstract
A method includes positioning an integrated circuit package in a coining apparatus having a fixture and a pressing plate. The integrated circuit package includes a substrate, an integrated circuit device disposed on a top surface of the substrate, and a plurality of solder balls disposed on a bottom surface of the integrated circuit package. The fixture includes a support structure and a cavity. The cavity receives the integrated circuit device while the support structure supports portions of a top surface of the integrated circuit package. The pressing plate is pressed against two or more of the solder balls, coining the two or more solder balls until each solder ball has a desired coined surface profile.
