  • Claim: We claim
  • Claim: 1. A method of producing a semiconductor chip, comprising the steps of
  • Claim: forming a semiconductor integrated circuit having a wiring layer with an arrangement of electrically conductive pads, and a layer of dielectric material covering said wiring layer;
  • Claim: forming openings in said layer of dielectric material adjacent said conductive pads to expose said pads;
  • Claim: producing a transfer substrate having a first surface with a plurality of blind holes located therein in a mirror image arrangement corresponding to said arrangement of electrically conductive pads;
  • Claim: locating a quantity of joining material provided in paste form on said first surface of said transfer substrate and substantially filling said blind holes therein;
  • Claim: bringing said first surface of said transfer substrate into direct physical contact with said layer of dielectric material and aligning said plurality of blind holes having said joining material in paste form therein within said first surface with said openings in said dielectric material;
  • Claim: heating said joining material in paste form and said electrically conductive pads to cause said joining material to adhere to said electrically conductive pads; and removing at least a portion of said transfer substrate from contact with said layer of dielectric material while leaving substantially all of said joining material attached to said electrically conductive pads, thereby producing a semiconductor chip.
  • Claim: 2. The method of claim 1 in which
  • Claim: the step of producing said transfer substrate with said plurality of blind holes includes producing a silicon plate and further includes selecting the depth and diameter of said blind holes in said first surface to provide substantially hemispherical depressions therein which are about 0.1 to about 0.5 mm in diameter and between about 10 and about 100% of said diameter in depth within said first surface; and
  • Claim: said method further comprising the step of depositing titanium nitride within said blind holes prior to locating said joining material in paste form in said blind holes to reduce adhesion to said joining material in paste form when said joining material in paste form is heated.
  • Claim: 3. A method of making an interconnect substrate, comprising the steps of
  • Claim: forming an electronic substrate including a wiring layer having an arrangement of electrically conductive pads and a layer of dielectric material covering said electrically conductive pads of said wiring layer;
  • Claim: forming openings in said layer of dielectric material adjacent said electrically conductive pads to expose said electrically conductive pads;
  • Claim: producing a transfer substrate having a first surface with a plurality of blind holes therein located in a mirror image arrangement corresponding to said arrangement of electrically conductive pads;
  • Claim: locating a quantity of joining material provided in paste form on said first surface of said transfer substrate and substantially filling said holes therein;
  • Claim: bringing said first surface of said transfer substrate into direct physical contact with said layer of dielectric material and aligning said blind holes having said joining material in paste form therein within said first surface with said openings in said dielectric material;
  • Claim: heating said joining material in paste form and said electrically conductive pads to cause said joining material to adhere to said electrically conductive pads; and
  • Claim: removing at least a portion of said transfer substrate from contact with said layer of dielectric material while leaving substantially all of said joining material attached to said electrically conductive pads, thereby making an interconnect substrate.
  • Claim: 4. The method of claim 3, further comprising the steps of
  • Claim: providing an electronic component having an array of electrically conductive terminals on one surface in a mirror image arrangement corresponding to said arrangement of said electrically conductive pads of said electronic substrate and positioning said electrically conductive terminals of said electronic component adjacent said joining material adhering to said electrically conductive pads, thereby forming electrical and mechanical contact between said terminals and said electrically conductive pads.
  • Claim: 5. The method of claim 4 further comprising the step of heating said conductive terminals and said joining material to attach said conductive terminals to said electrically conductive pads.
  • Claim: 6. The method of claim 3 in which the step of forming an electronic substrate further includes inserting metal pins in through holes in said electronic substrate.
  • Claim: 7. The method of claim 3 in which the step of forming an electronic substrate further includes attaching solder balls to said electrically conductive pads.
  • Claim: 8. A method of making an interconnect substrate, comprising the steps of
  • Claim: providing an electronic substrate including a wiring layer having an arrangement of electrically conductive pads and a layer of dielectric material covering said wiring layer;
  • Claim: producing a transfer substrate having holes passing through said transfer substrate, said holes located in a mirror image arrangement corresponding to said arrangement of electrically conductive pads;
  • Claim: bringing said transfer substrate into direct physical contact with said layer of dielectric material and aligning said holes with said openings;
  • Claim: thereafter depositing joining material in paste form into and substantially filling said holes, and into contact with said electrically conductive pads;
  • Claim: removing said transfer substrate from contact with said layer of dielectric material while leaving substantially all of said joining material attached to said electrically conductive pads, thereby making an interconnect substrate.
  • Claim: 9. A process for producing an information handling system, comprising the steps of
  • Claim: providing one or more enclosures having one or more processing units communicating with random access memory contained therein;
  • Claim: forming an electronic substrate including a wiring layer having an arrangement of electrically conductive pads and a layer of dielectric material covering said wiring layer;
  • Claim: locating a quantity of joining material provided in paste form on said first surface of said transfer substrate and substantially filling said plurality of blind holes therein;
  • Claim: heating said joining material in paste form and said electrically conductive pads to cause said joining material to adhere to said electrically conductive pads;
  • Claim: removing at least a portion of said transfer substrate from contact with said layer of dielectric material while leaving substantially all of said joining material attached to said electrically conductive pads; thereby making an interconnect substrate;
  • Claim: providing an electronic component having an array of electrically conductive terminals on one surface in a mirror image arrangement corresponding to said arrangement of said electrically conductive pads of said electronic substrate;
  • Claim: positioning said electrically conductive terminals adjacent said joining material thereby forming electrical and mechanical contact between said terminals and said electrically conductive pads; and
  • Claim: mounting said interconnect substrate within one of said enclosures and connecting said interconnect substrate to one or more of said processing units for handling information.
