Die-to-insert permanent connection and method of forming

摘要

The invention disclosed herein is a semiconductor die assembly and method of making the same having a die and insert substrate that are electrically interconnected by diffusing gold bumps attached to the connecting surface of the substrate to aluminum-based bond pads on the die to form a permanent die-to-insert connection. The process for diffusing the gold bumps into the bond pads preferably occurs during a burn-in process wherein pressure and heat are applied to the die/substrate assembly without melting the gold bumps until a permanent die-to-insert substrate connection is properly made.
