<p>High strength, reliable bulk metallic glass (BMG) solder materials formed from alloys possessing deep eutectics with asymmetric liquidous slopes. BMG solder materials are stronger and have a higher elastic modulus than, and therefore are less likely than crystalline solder materials to damage fragile low k interlayer dielectric (ILD) materials due to thermal stress in materials with different coefficients of thermal expansion (CTE). BMG solder materials may physically, electrically, or thermally couple a feature to another feature, or any combination thereof. For example, in an embodiment of the invention, a BMG solder material may physically and electrically couple an electronic component to a printed circuit board. In another embodiment of the invention, a BMG solder material may physically and thermally couple an integrated heat sink to a semiconductor device. Many embodiments of a BMG solder material are also lead-free, so they comply with lead-free product requirements, while providing a better solution than other lead-free solder materials such as tin-silver-copper.</p> |
