Abstract
Disclosed is a method for forming a semiconductor assembly and the resulting assembly in which a flowable adhesive material which secures a die to a support and does not form an adhesive fillet. A flowable adhesive is deposited between the die and support so that it covers about 50 to about 90 percent of the bottom surface area of the die after the die is mounted to the support. The reduced surface coverage area prevents formation of an adhesive fillet.
Claims6
A method of forming a semiconductor assembly comprising the steps of:
- providing a first semiconductor die having a top and bottom surface and at least one electrical contact area adjacent an edge of said top surface;
- providing a second semiconductor die having a top and bottom surface;
- depositing a flowable adhesive material on said top surface of said first die so that said flowable adhesive material covers an area no less than or equal to about 50% and no greater than or equal to about 90% of said second die bottom surface area;
- pressing said second die against said first die so that said flowable adhesive material flows but does not extend past the perimeter of said second die.
