Abstract

A method for flip-chip bonding an integrated circuit die to a substrate. A substrate (21) having conductive bonding areas (22) coated with tin (23) is secured to a bottom end effector of a flip-chip bonding apparatus. An integrated circuit die (26) having gold bumps (28) is secured to a die tool of the flip-chip bonding apparatus. A gold-tin eutectic bond is formed between the integrated circuit die (26) and the conductive bonding areas (22) of the substrate (21).
