Abstract

The invention provides a method of attaching an area-array device such as a bumped flip chip to an electrical substrate. An underfill material is applied to a portion of the electrical substrate, and the underfill material is heated to an underfill-material staging temperature. A bumped area-array device is provided, the bumped area-array device including an interconnection surface and a plurality of connective bumps extending from the interconnection surface. The interconnection surface of the bumped area-array device is positioned adjacent the applied underfill material. The bumped area-array device is heated to electrically connect the connective bumps to the electrical substrate. The invention also provides a flip-chip assembly and a printed wiring board panel with pre-applied underfill material.
