Abstract
Description
- This invention relates to material handling and particularly to separation of one material from another wherein the separated material is segmented to subsequently mate with another component for a specific purpose. In one example, the separated segmented material may form an adhesive-type layer to bond various electronic components such as a heat sink to a chip, an electronic package stiffener to a circuitized substrate such as a printed circuit board (PCB), etc.
- Material separation of several different types of materials is, of course, well known in the art of materials handling. The same is true for separation of materials having openings, slots, etc. therein. One example that comes readily to mind is gasket material for such products as manufacturing equipment, automobiles, etc. As will be defined herein, the present invention is particularly directed (but not limited) to the separation of segmented materials for eventual use in electronic products such as electronic packages, several types of which are known in the electronic field. Examples are shown and described in the following U.S. patents:
5,106,451 - Kan et al 5,726,079 - Johnson 6,288,900 - Johnson et al - An electronic package sold by the assignee of this invention is of particular interest. It is sold under the name HyperBGA®, the “BGA” standing for ball (e.g., solder) grid array meaning a pattern of solder balls are used to bond the package to a selected underlying substrate, typically a laminate PCB. (HyperBGA is a registered trademark of Endicott Interconnect Technologies, Inc., the assignee of the present invention.) This particular package also utilizes a pattern of solder balls to couple the package's chip to its own substrate body, thus affording a more dense package than wirebond or the like packages also on the market. Significantly, the HyperBGA® package also preferably includes what is referred to as a “stiffener” to add rigidity to the final structure by bonding the package's substrate (a laminate) to a heat sink spacedly positioned above the substrate for cooling of the chip during package operation. Further description of this particular electronic package will be provided hereinbelow.
- Although the invention defined herein is not meant to be limited for use with electronic packages such as described above, it is particularly useful in such applications, especially to bond one or more elements of the aforementioned HyperBGA® package to form the rigidized structure needed. The segmented material product separated in accordance with the unique teachings herein can be formed in a new and unique manner resulting in significant cost savings to the ultimate package consumer.
- It is believed that a method for forming a segmented material offering the advantageous features taught herein, especially in the electronic packaging field, would constitute a significant advancement in the art.
- It is a primary object of the invention to enhance the materials handling art.
- It is another object of the invention to provide an improved method of separating a particular layer of material from another so as to facilitate subsequent utilization thereof with other components, e.g., so as to effectively bond such components.
- It is still another object of the invention to provide such a method which can be accomplished in a facile and less expensive manner than similar methods of material separation known in the materials handling art.
- These and other objects are achieved according to one aspect of the invention by the provision of a method comprising the steps of providing a layer of base material, positioning a layer of first material and a layer of release material on the layer of base material such that the layer of release material is located substantially between the layer of base material and the layer of first material, providing a plurality of first cuts substantially only with the layer of first material, providing a plurality of deeper second cuts substantially only within the layer of release material and the layer of first material, and separating the layer of the first material from the layer of base material so as to remove only selected portions of the first material and leave other portions of the first material on the layer of base material.

- In
FIG. 1 there is shown one example of afirst material 10 which may be formed in a segmented manner having portions thereof selectively removed according to a specific design, according to one embodiment of the invention. It is understood that the invention is not limited to this material but can be readily used to provide substantially any similar materials in which selected openings, slots, grooves, etc. are desired in the final product. In the embodiment ofFIG. 1 ,first material 10 is shown as including a layer of dielectric,polymeric material 11 having on opposite sides thereof respective layers ofadhesive material 10 is a recognized flexible circuit material constructed of Kapton polyimide film (11), presently commercially available from E.I. duPont de Nemours under the product name Pyralux. (Pyralux is a registered trademark of duPont.) In a preferred example, the specific Pyralux is known as Pyralux HT, although other versions of this known product are possible. Pyralux HT is available in polyimide film thicknesses from about 0.5 mil to 5 mils and the corresponding adhesive thickness for eachlayer - As will be described hereinbelow,
first material 10 may be used to bond a heat sink to a semiconductor chip in an electronic package or find other uses within this environment, e.g., to bond a stiffener or other component occasionally used in such packaging. Further description will be provided with the description ofFIG. 6 below. - Typically, materials such as Pyralux when used in the environment defined herein have been relatively difficult to handle, including specifically when cutting and otherwise forming the openings and the external peripheral walls thereof, which, as understood, must be precisely defined if used in relatively small products such as micro-miniature and the like electronic packages. The present invention overcomes these problems while providing a method which can be accomplished in a relatively facile manner.
- In
FIG. 2 , the layer offirst material 10 is shown as being positioned on the layer ofbase material 17 with an interim layer ofrelease material 19 located therebetween. This formation is attained by a laminatingmaterial 19 tomaterial 10 at a temperature of about 100 degrees Celsius (C) and pressure of about 50 p.s.i. This is sufficient to bond the two layers for the purposes herein.First material 10 is not shown in cross-sectional configuration for ease of illustration. The preferred release material is also a polymer, Mylar, and with a Pyralux material having dimensions as mentioned above, preferably has a thickness of from about one mil to about three mils. Mylar is a known polyester film material available on the market in various sizes and thicknesses. The layer ofbase material 17 may, in some conditions, be considered to act as a stiffener or support structure to add rigidity to the final assembly shown inFIG. 2 to enhance the subsequent cutting operations defined below. Substantially any support material of dielectric material or the like may be utilized forbase material 17, with a preferred material also being sold by duPont under the registered trademark Tyvek. Tyvek is a tough, durable sheet material made of high density polyethylene fibers which combines the best properties of paper, film and cloth. It is water-resistant, light weight, particulate free, opaque and resistant to chemicals, abrasions and aging. In one example, the Tyvek material possessed a thickness within the range of from about two mils to about ten mils. - As defined hereinbelow, the method of this invention results in the formation of desired cuts within the
first material 10 such that this material can then be removed from thebase material 17 and utilized as desired. As removed, thefirst material 10 will include desired openings (seeFIG. 4 ) therein and possess a final external peripheral shape desired for mating with the corresponding structure to which it will bond. - In
FIG. 3 , a series of cutting operations are performed to provide the aforementioned segmented layer of base material. InFIG. 3 , at least two different cuts are provided within the subassembly comprised ofbase material 17,release layer 19 andfirst material 10. These cuts are provided by a laser, and specifically an ultraviolet (UV) laser. During these cuts,material 17 is held in contact withmaterial 19 using vacuum. ComparingFIGS. 3 and 4 (illustrating a plurality of subassemblies of the type shown inFIG. 3 all integrally formed on a singular, large sheet 21), a series of first cuts C1 are provided and a second series of deeper cuts C2 provided. These are illustrated in phantom inFIG. 3 and also shown in the plan view, but on a smaller scale, inFIG. 4 . The first partial cuts C1 penetrate entirely through the Pyralux layer and may partly penetrate the underlying release layer. In comparison, the deeper, second cuts C2 entirely penetrate both the Pyralux and therelease layer 19 but not the support layer of Tyvek. It is understood that partial penetration of theTyvek 10 can and may occur while still achieving the desired results of this invention. The first series of cuts C1 were preferably performed for each of the sections 22 (FIG. 4 ) at a laser pulse energy of about 0.05 milli-joules to 0.15 milli-joules, a pulse spacing of about 5 micrometers to 15 micrometers, and from about 5 to about 10 passes to achieve the desired depth. In comparison, the corresponding series of deeper cuts C2 for each section were performed at a laser pulse energy of about 0.07 milli joules to 0.2 milli-joules, a pulse spacing of about 2 micrometers to 10 micrometers, and from about 5 to about 10 passes to achieve the desired depth. - Laser cutting is known in the cutting art, with examples being shown and described in the following patents:
5,138,131 Nishikawa et al 5,565,120 LaRocca 5,578,229 Barnekov et al 5,667,707 Klingel et al 5,688,418 Yoshiyasu et al 5,922,225 Blake 6,313,432B1 Nagata et al 6,376,798B1 Remue et al 6,476,348B1 Grimes - Further description of this process, except to indicate various laser processing parameters usable for examples of the invention as noted herein, is not believed necessary.
- As understood from the illustration in
FIG. 4 , the full cuts through the Pyralux and release sheet illustrated by the designators C2 define a plurality of rectangular openings within eachrespective section 22 of the four sections (three only partially shown) oflayer 21 as shown. In one embodiment of the invention, a total of 168 individual sections were formed on one singularlarge sheet 21, each section having a width dimension of about 40 millimeters (mm) and length dimension of 40 mm. The overall sheet possessed length and width dimensions of 520 mm and 635 mm, respectively. Each section, when removed, will represent a segmented product for future use as taught herein. The narrower depth cuts C1 shown inFIG. 4 define the peripheral sides of these sections for those sides not already cut as defined by the sheet's external sidewalls. - In
FIG. 5 , there is shown the step of separation of part of the segmentedfirst material 10 and attachedrelease layer 19 from the underlying, supportingbase material 17. (InFIG. 5 , the Pyralux material is shown in cross-section as a singular layer of dielectric for simplification purposes but it is understood that this material preferably comprises the dielectric and two opposing adhesive layers as shown inFIG. 1 . Significantly, by virtue of the differential laser cutting performed in the manner taught herein, only segmented portions of the first material are stripped away, leaving the entirely cut portions defined by cuts C2 still attached tobase material 17. These remaining segments are shown in phantom for ease of illustration. However, the removed material is shown in cross-section with these segments removed. The preferred separation technique is simply to peel away the two elements shown inFIG. 5 using known mechanical separation means or even manual separation. Significantly, the adhesive (e.g., Mylar) is of sufficient strength that it retains the respective Pyralux material thereon on the base material while allowing the remaining, substantially fully cut (C2s) to extract the whole depth of the Mylar and Pyralux. This adhesion is partly due to the fact that the full cuts C2 which do not penetrate the Tyvek and are provided at sufficient laser energy to substantially fuse (melt) the release layer of Mylar to the Tyvek at the cut locations. - As thus seen in
FIG. 5 , the removed strip includes the desired openings (i.e., four small rectangular openings and one large central rectangular opening per section) therein. In an alternative embodiment of the invention, it is possible to selectively removeindividual sections 22 from thelarger sheet 21 by providing full depth cuts C2 instead of cuts C1 at the defined energy levels, pulse spacings and passes cited hereinabove. This in turn will allow for individual removal of eachsection 22 from thesupport layer 17 while still leaving the desired segments affixed thereto. These C2 cuts, which do not penetrate the underlying Tyvek material, are preferably provided at a lower pulse energy so as to avoid fusing the Mylar and Tyvek, thus expediting such individual removal. The invention is thus able to provide both individual segment (section) removal or complete removal of the segments en masse for later separation. - In
FIG. 6 there is seen anelectronic package 30 which can utilize the segmented product produced by the present invention. In one example, one of the removed,apertured sections 22 may be utilized as the adhesive component between the package's stiffener or strengtheningmember 31 to bond this member to thelaminate substrate 33. If so used, thissection 22 would be located under the stiffener and is thus also represented by the numeral 22 inFIG. 6 . It is understood that the proportions of the view inFIG. 4 do not necessarily match those inFIG. 6 with respect to the selectedsection 22. Specifically, the internal rectangular opening in one of the sections in 22 is shown to be much larger inFIG. 6 , the package'ssemiconductor chip 35 being positioned within said opening. Although not specifically shown, thesection 22 can also be used to bond thestiffener 31 to the package'sheat sink 35 also positioned thereon. Still further, a smaller portion of removed material can be used to bond the chip to the heat sink, in which case it would be located in a position referenced by the numeral 22′. The chip is shown as being electrically coupled to thecircuitized laminate substrate 33 by a plurality ofsolder balls 37 which couple selected sites on the chip to corresponding pads on the laminate's upper surface. Internal conductive pads, including conductive vias and/or plated through holes, and a plurality of conductive planes (e.g., signal, ground or power) are also utilized in the laminate and selected ones thereof utilized to couple the chip to external conductors on the laminate's undersurface which in turn are coupled by a second plurality ofsolder balls 39 to pads (not shown) on underlyingcircuitized substrate 41, a preferred example being a conventional printed circuit board. This completed assembly is then adapted for being positioned within an information handling system 51 as shown inFIG. 7 which, as stated above, may comprise a computer, server, mainframe or other information handling component known in the art, many of which utilize circuit boards and packages of the type shown above. - It is thus understood that a selected, segmented
section 22 formed and removed using the unique teachings herein from a base support layer is then utilized to produce an electronic package for eventual use within an information handling system. The product as produced herein is thus attainable utilizing a new and unique bonding structure to greatly facilitate assembly of a larger subassembly (e.g., an electronic package) and an even larger electronic assembly such as an information handling system. - It is again understood, however, that the teachings of this invention are not limited to such electronic applications but may be utilized in many other embodiments in which a segmented piece of material is desired for mating with the corresponding component or the like to provide some needed function (e.g., bonding) for said component. It is thus believed that the present invention represents a significant advancement in the art, wherein such bonding is desired.
- While there have been shown and described what are at present the preferred embodiments of the invention, it will be obvious to those skilled in the art that various changes and modifications may be made therein without departing from the scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims.
