Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim
145 words
A method of forming an LSI chip, comprising: providing a flat stage having positioned thereon a base LSI chip, which base LSI chip has a protective film thereon, which film includes openings positioned over aluminum electrodes on the base LSI chip; positioning an aluminum foil over the protective film; positioning an ultrasonic capillary tool over the foil at a position above the protective film openings and electrodes wherein the ultrasonic capillary tool includes a ring-shaped contacting surface and further wherein the thickness of the aluminum foil is less than the inner diameter of the ring-shaped contacting surface of the capillary tool; applying ultrasonic vibrations with the ultrasonic capillary tool in order to bond the aluminum foil to the aluminum electrodes and form a bump on a surface of the aluminum foil, the height of the bump being controlled by the thickness of the aluminum foil.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
145 words
A method of forming an LSI chip, comprising: providing a flat stage having positioned thereon a base LSI chip, which base LSI chip has a protective film thereon, which film includes openings positioned over aluminum electrodes on the base LSI chip; positioning an aluminum foil over the protective film; positioning an ultrasonic capillary tool over the foil at a position above the protective film openings and electrodes wherein the ultrasonic capillary tool includes a ring-shaped contacting surface and further wherein the thickness of the aluminum foil is less than the inner diameter of the ring-shaped contacting surface of the capillary tool; applying ultrasonic vibrations with the ultrasonic capillary tool in order to bond the aluminum foil to the aluminum electrodes and form a bump on a surface of the aluminum foil, the height of the bump being controlled by the thickness of the aluminum foil.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
18 words
The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the protective film has a thickness of about 1 μm.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
24 words
The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the aluminum foil is positioned over the protective film while applying planar tension to the foil.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
23 words
The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the aluminum electrodes are square in shape and have a size of about 100 μm.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
29 words
The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the ring-shaped contacting surface has an outer diameter of about 80-90% μ m and an inner diameter of about 30 μm.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
45 words
The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein the steps of positioning the ultrasonic capillary tool and applying ultrasonic vibrations to form a bump are repeated a plurality of times in order to form a plurality of bumps on the surface of the aluminum foil.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
28 words
The method as claimed in claim 6, wherein the ring-shaped contacting surface has an outer diameter of about 80-90 μm and an inner diameter of about 30 μm.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
29 words
The method as claimed in claim 6, further comprising: applying an anisotropic conductive adhesive to the aluminum foil having bumps thereon; and bonding a circuit board to the adhesive.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
22 words
The method as claimed in claim 8, wherein the adhesive is applied in a layer having a thickness of about 15-30 μm.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
27 words
The method as claimed in claim 9, wherein the anisotropic conductive adhesive material is comprised of adhesive and metallic particles having a diameter of about 3-8 μm.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
56 words
The method as claimed in claim 10, wherein pressure is applied to the circuit board in order to force the circuit board toward the aluminum bumps with sufficient forces so as to decrease the distance between the circuit board and the LSI chip to one-half or less of its initial distance to thereby squeeze out adhesive.
