Abstract

A semiconductor device has a semiconductor die mounted over a surface of a substrate. A mold underfill dispensing needle has a width substantially equal to a width of the semiconductor die. The dispensing needle is placed in fluid communication with a side of the semiconductor die. A mold underfill is deposited from an outlet of the dispensing needle evenly across a width of the semiconductor die into an area between the semiconductor die and substrate without motion of the dispensing needle. The dispensing needle has a shank and the outlet in a T-configuration. The dispensing needle can have a plurality of pole portions between a shank and the outlet. The dispensing needle has a plate between a shank and the outlet. The outlet has an upper edge with a length substantially equal to or greater than a length of a lower edge of the outlet.

Claims (34)

1. A method of making a semiconductor device, comprising:

providing a substrate;

providing a semiconductor die;

mounting the semiconductor die over a surface of the substrate;

providing a mold underfill dispensing needle having a width substantially equal to a width of the semiconductor die;

placing the mold underfill dispensing needle in fluid communication with a side of the semiconductor die; and

depositing a mold underfill from an outlet of the dispensing needle evenly across a width of the semiconductor die into an area between the semiconductor die and substrate without motion of the dispensing needle.

2. The method of claim 1 , further including providing the dispensing needle with a shank and the outlet in a T-configuration.

3. The method of claim 1 , further including providing the dispensing needle with a plurality of pole portions between a shank and the outlet.

4. The method of claim 1 , further including providing the dispensing needle with a plate between a shank and the outlet.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the outlet includes a first edge having a length substantially equal to a length of a second edge of the outlet.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the outlet includes a first edge having a length greater than a length of a second edge of the outlet.

7. A method of making a semiconductor device, comprising:

mounting a semiconductor die over a substrate;

providing a dispensing needle disposed across a width of the semiconductor die;

disposing the dispensing needle in fluid communication with a side of the semiconductor die; and

depositing a mold underfill from an outlet of the dispensing needle into an area between the semiconductor die and substrate.

8. The method of claim 7 , further including providing the dispensing needle with a shank and the outlet in a T-configuration.

9. The method of claim 7 , further including providing the dispensing needle with a plurality of pole portions between a shank and the outlet.

10. The method of claim 7 , further including providing the dispensing needle with a plate between a shank and the outlet.

11. The method of claim 7 , wherein the outlet includes a first edge having a length substantially equal to a length of a second edge of the outlet.

12. The method of claim 7 , wherein the outlet includes a first edge having a length greater than a length of a second edge of the outlet.

13. The method of claim 7 , further including changing the dispensing needle to match a width of the semiconductor die.

14. A method of making a semiconductor device, comprising:

mounting a semiconductor die over a substrate;

providing a dispensing needle;

disposing the dispensing needle in fluid communication with a side of the semiconductor die; and

depositing a mold underfill from an outlet of the dispensing needle into an area between the semiconductor die and substrate without motion of the dispensing needle.

15. The method of claim 14 , wherein the dispensing needle has a width substantially equal to a width of the semiconductor die.

16. The method of claim 14 , further including providing the dispensing needle with a shank and the outlet in a T-configuration.

17. The method of claim 14 , further including providing the dispensing needle with a plurality of pole portions between a shank and the outlet.

18. The method of claim 14 , further including providing the dispensing needle with a plate between a shank and the outlet.

19. The method of claim 14 , wherein the outlet includes a first edge having a length substantially equal to a length of a second edge of the outlet.

20. The method of claim 14 , wherein the outlet includes a first edge having a length greater than a length of a second edge of the outlet.
