Patent ID: 7538432

Claim:
A flip chip assembly having reduced stress and warpage comprising: a flip chip package, the flip chip package including an organic substrate and an integrated circuit chip, a bottom side of the integrated circuit chip being bonded to a top side of the organic substrate with controlled chip collapse columns; a temporary structure having a coefficient of thermal expansion that is substantially similar to a coefficient of thermal expansion of the integrated circuit chip; wherein a bottom side of the organic substrate is soldered to a top side of the temporary structure with solder interconnections that are applied to a plurality of solder pads on the top side of the temporary structure, the position of the solder pads on the top side of the temporary structure mirroring the position of a plurality of solder pads on the bottom side of the organic substrate; and a cap member coupled to the top side of the organic substrate; wherein the flip chip package includes a force receiving surface structured to receive a first force applied to the flip chip package in a first direction; and wherein the temporary structure includes an opposing force receiving surface structured to receive a second force applied to the temporary structure in a second direction opposite the first direction in order to shear the top side of the temporary structure from the bottom side of the organic substrate to remove the temporary structure from the flip chip package, wherein the first and second forces are parallel to the top side of the temporary structure, and wherein upon removal of the temporary structure from the flip chip package the solder interconnections remain on the solder pads on the bottom side of the organic substrate.
