Abstract:
A method forming an interconnect structure includes depositing a first solder bump on a chip; depositing a second solder bump on a laminate, the second solder bump including a nickel copper colloid surrounded by a nickel or copper shell and suspended in a tin-based solder; aligning the chip with the laminate; performing a first reflow process to join the chip to the laminate; depositing an underfill material around the first solder bump and the second solder bump; and performing a second reflow process at a temperature that is lower than the first reflow process to convert the first solder bump and the second solder bump to an all intermetallic interconnect; wherein depositing the underfill material is performed before or after performing the second reflow process.

Claim (Index 14):
A method of forming an interconnect structure, the method comprising:\n depositing a first solder bump on a chip; depositing a second solder bump on a laminate, the second solder bump comprising a nickel copper colloid surrounded by a nickel or copper shell; joining the chip to the laminate; depositing an underfill material around the first solder bump and the second solder bump; and performing a reflow process at a temperature below a melting point of the first solder bump and the second solder bump to convert the first solder bump and the second solder bump to an all intermetallic interconnect comprising a tin nickel copper alloy.
