Wiring board, electronic component mounting structure, and electronic component mounting method
View Patent ↗A flip chip mounting method for improving the accuracy of positioning of a semiconductor chip and avoiding a short circuit between protruding electrodes even when the protruding electrodes are formed at smaller spacings. The method comprises: placing a semiconductor chip on a wiring board, the semiconductor chip having protruding electrodes formed at a relatively small spacing and at a relatively large spacing, the wiring board having electrode pads corresponding to the respective protruding electrodes and solder pieces formed on the respective pads; heating the semiconductor chip and the wiring board to a temperature at which only the solder pieces on the electrode pads of greater spacing melt; performing self alignment of the semiconductor chip by the melted solder pieces; and heating the semiconductor chip and the wiring board further to a temperature at which the protruding electrodes and the solder pieces on the electrode pads of smaller spacing melt.
1. A wiring board for mounting an electronic component having a plurality of protruding electrodes formed at different spacings on the same side of the component, the wiring board comprising:
electrode pads corresponding to the protruding electrodes; and
solder pieces formed on the electrode pads, wherein
the solder pieces on electrode pads of greater spacing have a melting point lower than that of the solder pieces on electrode pads of smaller spacing.
2. The wiring board according to claim 1 , wherein
some or all of the electrode pads of greater spacing are used only to fix the electronic component, and not to establish electrical connection with the electronic component.
3. The wiring board according to claim 1 , wherein
the electronic component is a semiconductor chip of flip chip mounting type.
4. An electronic component mounting structure including a wiring board and an electronic component mounted thereon wherein:
a plurality of protruding electrodes formed on the same side of the electronic component at different spacings are joined to solder pieces on electrode pads formed on the wiring board so as to correspond to the respective protruding electrodes; and
the solder pieces on electrode pads of greater spacing have a melting point lower than that of the solder pieces on electrode pads of smaller spacing and that of the protruding electrodes.
5. The electronic component mounting structure according to claim 4 , wherein
some or all of the electrode pads of greater spacing are used only to fix the electronic component, and not to establish electrical connection with the electronic component.
6. The electronic component mounting structure according to claim 4 , wherein
the electronic component is a semiconductor chip of flip chip mounting type which is mounted on the wiring board.
7. An electronic component mounting method comprising:
placing an electronic component on a wiring board, the electronic component having a plurality of protruding electrodes formed at different spacings on the same side of the component, the wiring board having electrode pads corresponding to the respective protruding electrodes and solder pieces formed on the respective electrode pads;
heating the electronic component and the wiring board to a temperature at which only the solder pieces on the electrode pads of greater spacing melt;
performing self alignment of the electronic component by means of the melted solder pieces; and
heating the electronic component and the wiring board further to a temperature at which the protruding electrodes and the solder pieces on the electrode pads of smaller spacing melt.
8. The electronic component mounting method according to claim 7 , wherein
the method employs the wiring board in which some or all of the electrode pads of greater spacing are used only to fix the electronic component, and not to establish electrical connection with the electronic component.
9. The electronic component mounting method according to claim 7 , wherein
the electronic component is a semiconductor chip of flip chip mounting type.
