Patent ID: 7663248

Claim:
A flip-chip component comprising: a chip, wherein the chip includes pads located on an active surface of the chip; a chip frame, wherein the chip frame is arranged around the chip and is attached to the chip so that the active surface of the chip is substantially planar with a top surface of the chip frame; a redistribution layer overlying the active surface of the chip and the chip frame; and interconnections disposed over the top surface of the chip frame, the interconnections disposed at a first distance from a neutral point on the active surface of the chip, wherein the interconnections are provided to electrically and mechanically connect the redistribution layer with a board, wherein a thermal expansion of an assembly comprising the chip and the chip frame in a region of the interconnections is equal to a thermal expansion of the board in the region of the interconnections, wherein the interconnections are arranged substantially equidistantly on a circular ring, with a center of the ring being the neutral point of the chip, and wherein the interconnections are arranged in a single row forming the circular ring.
