Abstract:
An assembly of a semiconductor device attached to a substrate, said assembly comprising:an inclined support member, the inclined support member being inclined at an angle in an inclined plane with respect to a horizontal plane; a substrate having a front edge, back edge, first lateral edge, second lateral edge, and a plurality of electrical contact pads located thereon, the substrate being located on the inclined support; a semiconductor device having a plurality of sides formed by a first side, second side, first lateral edge, second lateral edge, and a plurality of electrical contact pads located thereon; a plurality of electrical connectors interposed between the electrical contact pads located on the substrate and the electrical contact pads located on the semiconductor device, thereby electrically and mechanically interconnecting the semiconductor device to the substrate, the plurality of electrical connectors spacing the substrate from the semiconductor device and causing a gap to be formed therebetween; an underfill material substantially filling the gap formed between the substrate and the semiconductor device; a dam located on the substrate adjacent the second side of the semiconductor device; and a vibrator attached to the inclined support.
