Abstract
A solderless method for assembling a semiconductor electronic flip-chip device to an electrical interconnecting substrate including the steps of forming a plurality of raised electrical contacts and plurality of contact pads. The pads correspond in number and physical location with the electrical contacts. The pads and contact mate when brought together. A quantity of plastic material is interposed between the electrical device and substrate. The plastic material is heated so that it softens and flows. The electronic device and substrate are urged together. The urging step displaces the molten plastic material from between the contacts and pads. The contacts and pads are jointed directly without any adhesive, solder or conducive filler therebetween to electrically interconnect the electronic device and substrate. The plastic material is allowed to cool whereby the electronic device and substrate are adhesively bonded together and electrically interconnected.
