Method of forming a land grid array with discrete pads |
摘要 |
A land grid array (LGA) and a method of forming the LGA are disclosed. The method comprises plating a printed circuit board to form a grid array of copper pads, and soldering a discrete pad over each of the plated copper pads in the grid array. The discrete pad is a solid object that can be handled and positioned independent of other discrete pads. Optionally, the method may further comprise measuring variations in flatness of the printed circuit board as a function of location in the grid array, and selecting individual discrete pads that each have a thickness selected for use at a particular location in the grid array so that the discrete pads provide a locus of exposed surfaces having greater flatness than the printed circuit board. |

1. A method of forming a land grid array, comprising:
plating a printed circuit board to form a grid array of copper pads; soldering a discrete pad over each of the plated copper pads in the grid array; measuring variation in flatness of the printed circuit board as a function of location in the grid array; and selecting individual discrete pads each have a thickness selected for use at a particular location in the grid array so that the discrete pads provide a locus of exposed surfaces having greater flatness than the printed circuit board. |
