Chip scale packaging on CTE matched printed wiring boards

摘要

A circuit assembly (10) has a heat sink assembly (12) and a chip scale package assembly (14). The chip scale package assembly (14) has an integrated circuit die (24) coupled to a first printed wiring board (22). The heat sink assembly (12) has a heat sink (16) coupled to a second printed wiring board (18). Preferably, the heat sink assembly (12) and the chip scale package assembly (14) are assembled separately then assembled together. The circuit pads (32) on the first printed wiring board (22) correspond with circuit pads (20) on the second printed wiring board (18). The circuit pads (32, 20) may be coupled together by solder or adhesive bonding. The circuit pads (32) on the first printed wiring board (22) may have solder balls (34) formed of high temperature solder that do not melt when the heat sink assembly (12) is assembled with chip scale package assembly (14). The solder balls (34) allow chip scale package assembly (14) to maintain a predetermined distance from the circuit pads (20) on the second printed wiring board (18) (Fig. 1).
