Abstract

Abstract A controlled oxygen content copper clad laminate product and process. In accordance with one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a laminate having a first layer of oxygen-free copper joined to a second layer of oxygen-rich copper by the steps of (i) cladding the first layer to the second layer at a relatively low speed to minimize rolling friction, (ii) finish rolling the laminate to substantially increase its thickness tolerance, (iii) slitting the laminate to increase its width tolerance, (iv) profiling a groove at a selected location in the laminate, (v) finish slitting a plurality of ribbons from the laminate, (vi) tension leveling the laminate to straighten and flatten its shape, (vii) stamping the laminate into sections each of a selected configuration, (viii) cleaning laminate surfaces, and (ix) direct bonding the laminate to a substrate material such that the first layer is annealed to the second.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim 74 words
A heat sink for microelectronic packaging, which comprises: a plurality of fins stacked upon one another, each fin including a layer of a first material clad to a layer of a second material and having a channel at a selected location; and material to material interfaces between adjacent stacked fins and the clad layers of each fin, the fins being bonded eutectically to one another so as to form a solidified heat sink structure.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 74 words
A heat sink for microelectronic packaging, which comprises: a plurality of fins stacked upon one another, each fin including a layer of a first material clad to a layer of a second material and having a channel at a selected location; and material to material interfaces between adjacent stacked fins and the clad layers of each fin, the fins being bonded eutectically to one another so as to form a solidified heat sink structure.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 77 words
A heat sink for microelectronic packaging, which comprises: a plurality of fins stacked upon one another, each fin including a layer of a first material clad to a layer of a second material and-having a channel at a selected location, and material to material interfaces between adjacent stacked fins and the clad layers of each fin, the fins being bonded to one another eutectically and by diffusion bonding so as to form a solidified heat sink structure.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 77 words
A heat sink for microelectronic packaging, which comprises: a plurality of fins stacked upon one another, each fin including a layer of a first material clad to a layer of a second material and-having a channel at a selected location, and material to material interfaces between adjacent stacked fins and the clad layers of each fin, the fins being bonded to one another eutectically and by diffusion bonding so as to form a solidified heat sink structure.
Claim 5
