Abstract

A packaging substrate includes a plurality of bonding pads and a plurality of gutters formed thereon. A die having conductive bumps on an electrically active surface thereof is positioned such that the conductive bumps of the die are electrically connected to the bonding pads of the packaging substrate. An underfill material fills the underfill space between the packaging substrate and the die to complete the structure. The plurality of gutters creates a linear flow front of the underfill material as it flows across the underfill space.
