Abstract

A mock bump system includes providing a flip chip integrated circuit having an edge and forming a mock bump near the edge.

Claims (45)

1. A method of manufacture of a mock bump system comprising:

providing a flip chip integrated circuit having an edge;

forming a mock bump near the edge, the mock bump including:

a bump body attached to the flip chip integrated circuit, and

a bump cap extending from the bump body, the bump cap wider than the bump body and with a gap between the bump cap and the flip chip integrated circuit; and

forming a chip interconnect, formed of a material having a lower reflow temperature than a material of the mock bump, on the flip chip integrated circuit, the chip interconnect extending further from the flip chip integrated circuit than the mock bump.

2. The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprising forming a double row of mock bumps on the flip chip integrated circuit.

3. The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprising forming an under bump material on the flip chip integrated circuit for coupling the mock bump.

4. The method as claimed in claim 1 wherein forming the mock bump near the edge includes forming a barrier region in the flip chip integrated circuit for coupling the mock bump.

5. The method as claimed in claim 1 further comprising

coupling a substrate to the flip chip integrated circuit; and

injecting an underfill material between the flip chip integrated circuit and the substrate for encasing the mock bump.

6. A method of manufacture of a mock bump system comprising:

providing a flip chip integrated circuit having an edge including forming a passivation layer on the flip chip integrated circuit;

forming a mock bump near the edge including forming a bump body and a bump cap, the bump body attached to the flip chip integrated circuit and the bump cap extending from the bump body, the bump cap wider than the bump body and with a gap between the bump cap and the flip chip integrated circuit, and having a mushroom shape; and

forming a chip interconnect, formed of a material having a lower reflow temperature than a material of the mock bump, on the flip chip integrated circuit, the chip interconnect extending further from the flip chip integrated circuit than the mock bump.

7. The method as claimed in claim 6 further comprising coupling the chip interconnect to a substrate.

8. The method as claimed in claim 6 further comprising forming an under bump metallization on the flip chip integrated circuit for coupling the mock bump including forming a bond pad between the flip chip integrated circuit and the under bump metallization.

9. The method as claimed in claim 6 wherein forming the mock bump near the edge includes forming a barrier region in the flip chip integrated circuit for coupling the mock bump including forming an array of chip interconnects surrounded by the barrier region.

10. The method as claimed in claim 6 further comprising:

coupling a substrate to the flip chip integrated circuit including providing a contact pad on the substrate; and

injecting an underfill material between the flip chip integrated circuit and the substrate for encasing the mock bump including injecting a liquid epoxy.

11. A mock bump system comprising:

a flip chip integrated circuit having an edge;

a mock bump near the edge, the mock bump including:

a bump body attached to the flip chip integrated circuit, and

a bump cap extending from the bump body, the bump cap wider than the bump body and with a gap between the bump cap and the flip chip integrated circuit; and

a chip interconnect, formed of a material having a lower reflow temperature than a material of the mock bump, on the flip chip integrated circuit, the chip interconnect extended further from the flip chip integrated circuit than the mock bump.

12. The system as claimed in claim 11 further comprising a double row of mock bumps on the flip chip integrated circuit.

13. The system as claimed in claim 11 further comprising an under bump material on the flip chip integrated circuit for coupling the mock bump.

14. The system as claimed in claim 11 wherein the flip chip integrated circuit having the edge includes a barrier region in the flip chip integrated circuit for coupling the mock bump.

15. The system as claimed in claim 11 further comprising:

a substrate coupled to the flip chip integrated circuit; and

an underfill material between the flip chip integrated circuit and the substrate for encasing the mock bump.

16. The system as claimed in claim 11 further comprising:

a passivation layer on the flip chip integrated circuit; and

the bump body and the bump cap with a mushroom shape.

17. The system as claimed in claim 16 further comprising a substrate coupled to the chip interconnect.

18. The system as claimed in claim 16 further comprising:

an under bump metallization on the flip chip integrated circuit for coupling the mock bump; and

a bond pad between the flip chip integrated circuit and the under bump metallization.

19. The system as claimed in claim 16 wherein the flip chip integrated circuit having the edge includes a barrier region in the flip chip integrated circuit for coupling the mock bump with an array of chip interconnects surrounded by the barrier region.

20. The system as claimed in claim 16 further comprising:

a substrate coupled to the flip chip integrated circuit includes a contact pad on the substrate; and

an underfill material between the flip chip integrated circuit and the substrate for encasing the mock bump includes a liquid epoxy injected.
