Abstract

A semiconductor structure is disclosed. The semiconductor structure includes a substrate an elastomer coupled to the substrate and a plurality of bondfingers on the elastomer. The substrate, the elastomer and the bondfingers are configured to cooperatively expand and retract.

Claims (28)

1. A semiconductor structure, comprising:

a substrate;

an elastomer coupled to the substrate; and

a plurality of bondfingers formed on the elastomer, the substrate, the elastomer and the bondfingers configured to cooperatively expand and retract, wherein the bondfingers include pre-wrinkled foil, the pre-wrinkled foil having a plurality of wrinkles, individual ones of the plurality of wrinkles having a protrusion between first and second non-protruding portions, the protruding portion having a height greater than a height of both the first and second non-protruding portions.

2. The semiconductor structure of claim 1 , wherein the bondfingers include a serpentine pattern of interconnected parts.

3. The semiconductor structure of claim 1 , wherein the bondfingers are configured to be expanded before wirebonding.

4. The semiconductor structure of claim 1 , wherein the bondfingers are configured to be retracted after wirebonding.

5. The semiconductor structure of claim 1 , wherein the substrate is configured to be expanded in response to an application of heat to the semiconductor structure.

6. The semiconductor structure of claim 1 , wherein the substrate is configured to have an expansion of the substrate.

7. A semiconductor package, comprising:

a substrate;

a die coupled to a substrate;

an elastomer coupled to the substrate;

a plurality of bondfingers formed on the elastomer, the substrate, the elastomer and the bondfingers configured to cooperatively expand and retract, wherein the bondfingers include pre-wrinkled foil, the pre-wrinkled foil having a plurality of wrinkles, individual ones of the plurality of wrinkles having a protrusion between first and second non-protruding portions, the protruding portion having a height greater than a height of both the first and second non-protruding portions; and

a plurality of wire bonds coupled to the bondfingers and to the die.

8. The semiconductor package of claim 7 , wherein the bondfingers include a serpentine pattern of interconnected parts.

9. The semiconductor package of claim 7 , wherein the bondfingers are configured to be expanded before wirebonding.

10. The semiconductor package of claim 7 , wherein the bondfingers are configured to be retracted after wirebonding.

11. The semiconductor package of claim 7 , wherein the substrate is configured to be expanded in response to an application of heat to the semiconductor package.

12. The semiconductor package of claim 7 , wherein the substrate is configured to have an expansion of the substrate.

13. A method, comprising:

forming a substrate;

forming an elastomer on the substrate; and

forming bondfingers on the elastomer, wherein the substrate, the elastomer and the bondfingers are configured to cooperatively expand and retract, wherein the bondfingers include pre-wrinkled foil, the pre-wrinkled foil having a plurality of wrinkles, individual ones of the plurality of wrinkles having a protrusion between first and second non-protruding portions, the protruding portion having a height greater than a height of both the first and second non-protruding portions.

14. The method of claim 13 , wherein the bondfingers include a serpentine pattern of interconnected parts.

15. The method of claim 13 , wherein the bondfingers are configured to be expanded before wirebonding.

16. The method of claim 13 , wherein the bondfingers are configured to be retracted after wirebonding.

17. The method of claim 13 , wherein the substrate is configured to be expanded in response to an application of heat to the substrate.
