Abstract
An integrated circuit package that contains an underfill material between an integrated circuit and a substrate. The integrated circuit may be mounted to the substrate with solder bumps in a C4 process. The underfill material may extend from an edge of the integrated circuit a length that is no less than approximately 25% of the length between the integrated circuit edge and the integrated circuit center. It has been discovered that a length greater than approximately 25% does not provide a significant reduction in the strain of the solder bumps.
