Abstract:
A stiffener apparatus for reducing warpage of an integrated circuit package during heating and cooling are provided. The stiffener apparatus includes an IC substrate configured to receive an IC die on a top side of the IC substrate. The stiffener apparatus includes a primary stiffener ring adhered to the top side of the IC substrate and defining an opening in a region of the IC die such that the primary stiffener ring surrounds the region of the IC die. The primary stiffener ring defines a plurality of grooves. The stiffener apparatus includes a secondary stiffener ring having a plurality of catches configured to engage with the plurality of grooves to removably attach the secondary stiffener ring to the primary stiffener ring on a side of the primary stiffener ring opposite the IC substrate. A method of using a stiffener apparatus during a manufacturing operation is also provided.

Claim (Index 17):
The method of  claim 13 , wherein:\n removably attaching the secondary stiffener ring to the primary stiffener ring includes exerting a force on the secondary stiffener ring downward in the direction of the primary stiffener ring such that the catches bend outward and around sides of the primary stiffener ring and then snap into the recesses.
