Abstract

See full text

A silicon die, such as an integrated circuit, is reworkably bonded to a copper heat spreader. The silicon-copper bond exhibits high compliance under conditions of thermal stress even though there is a significant thermal coefficient of expansion difference between silicon and copper. A compliant adhesive is applied to the surface of one of the silicon die and the copper heat spreader and is cured. Thereafter, a thermoplastic adhesive is applied to bond the silicon die to the copper heat spreader. A composite bond is thereby produced, including a highly compliant layer and a thermoplastic layer. The die may be reworked by heating the thermoplastic adhesive until the bond begins to soften and the die is released.
