Abstract

A method for dispensing underfill in a flip chip package formed of an IC chip and a substrate and devices formed by such methods are disclosed. The method for dispensing may be carried out by either a screen printing (or stencil printing) or a dispensing head process wherein droplets of an underfill material may be dispensed on the surface of an IC die or a substrate. Numerous benefits may be achieved by the present invention for dispensing an underfill material which includes shorter cycle time, superior quality product and more flexible processing parameters. The underfill material may be cured in the same reflow furnace during the reflow process for the solder balls such that a separate curing process can be eliminated.
