Abstract:
A method for mounting a passive component over an IC package substrate having a core portion and a surface-mount portion applied over the core portion, the surface-mount portion being formed with a pair of openings for exposing a pair of solder pads formed at predefined locations on the core portion, wherein a part of the surface-mount portion is situated between the paired solder pads, the method comprising the steps of:(1) pasting an electrically-insulative material over the part of the surface-mount portion between the paired solder pads to a predetermined thickness that would allow no gap to be left between the passive component and the substrate when the passive component is mounted over the substrate; and (2) after the pasting step, soldering the passive component onto the exposed paired solder pads.
