Abstract:
This invention provides a method and apparatus for manufacturing electronic devices. The method includes: providing a substrate having a first surface; providing an electronic device having bumps; mounting the bumps to the first surface to form an integrated unit; applying a capillary underfill to multiple sides of the electronic device, enabling the underfill to creep along and fill the gap between the electronic device and the substrate; placing the integrated unit into a processing chamber; raising the temperature in the chamber to a first predetermined temperature; reducing the pressure in the chamber to a first predetermined pressure of a vacuum pressure, and maintaining the vacuum pressure for a predetermined time period; raising the pressure in the chamber to a second predetermined pressure higher than 1 atm, and maintaining the second predetermined pressure for a predetermined time period; and adjusting the temperature in the chamber to a second predetermined temperature.

Claim (Index 1):
A method for manufacturing electronic devices, comprising:\n providing a substrate having a first surface; providing an electronic device having conductive bumps on at least one surface thereof; mounting the conductive bumps located on at least one surface of the electronic device to the first surface of the substrate so as to form an integrated unit, wherein a pitch between the conductive bumps is less than 100 micrometers, a gap between the electronic device and the substrate is less than 50 micrometers; applying an capillary underfill to multiple sides of the electronic device, so that the capillary underfill creeps along and fills the gap between the electronic device and the substrate, forming a protection for the conductive bumps; placing the integrated unit into a processing chamber; raising the temperature in the processing chamber to a first predetermined temperature; pre-adjusting the pressure in the processing chamber; raising the pressure in the processing chamber to a second predetermined pressure higher than 1 atm, and maintaining the second predetermined pressure for a predetermined time period; and adjusting the temperature in the processing chamber to a second predetermined temperature, wherein the pre-adjusting the pressure in the processing chamber comprises steps of:\n (a) reducing the pressure in the processing chamber to a first predetermined pressure of vacuum pressure, and maintaining the first predetermined pressure for a predetermined time period; and \n (b) raising the pressure in the processing chamber from the first predetermined pressure to a first return pressure, wherein the first return pressure<1 atm, or the first return pressure\u22651 atm, \n wherein the steps (a) to (b) are carried out one or more times, and the second predetermined pressure is higher than the first return pressure.
