Abstract
Modules and methods of assembly are described. A module includes a lid mounted on a module substrate and covering a component. A stiffener structure may optionally be mounted between the lid and module substrate. A recess can be formed in any of an outer wall bottom surface of the lid, and top or bottom surface of the stiffener structure such that an adhesive layer at least partially fills the recess.
Claims18
A module comprising:
- a module substrate;
- a component on a top side of the module substrate;
- a stiffener structure mounted on the top side of the module substrate, the stiffener including a flat top surface;
- and
- a lid mounted on the flat top surface of the stiffener structure and covering the component, wherein the lid comprises a bottom surface and a lid recess in the bottom surface,
- wherein the stiffener structure flat top surface is bonded to the bottom surface of the lid with a first adhesive layer that at least partially fills the lid recess in the bottom surface of the lid.
