Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present disclosure relates to the field of fabricating microelectronic packages, wherein magnetic particles distributed within a solder paste may be used to form a magnetic intermetallic compound interconnect. The intermetallic compound interconnect may be exposed to a magnetic field, which can heat a solder material to a reflow temperature for attachment of microelectronic components comprising the microelectronic packages.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A microelectronic interconnection, comprising: a first metallic attachment structure on a substrate; a dielectric layer over the substrate and the first metallic attachment structure, wherein the dielectric layer has an opening therethrough to a portion of the first metallic attachment structure; a magnetic composite material adjacent the first metallic attachment structure, wherein the magnetic composite material resides entirely within the dielectric layer opening; and a solder material adjacent the magnetic composite material, wherein at least a portion of the solder material resides within the dielectric layer opening. 2. The microelectronic interconnection of claim 1 , wherein the magnetic composite material comprises magnetic particles dispersed in a solder paste. 3. The microelectronic interconnection of claim 2 , wherein the magnetic particles comprises iron, cobalt, nickel, or alloys thereof. 4. The microelectronic interconnection of claim 2 , wherein the magnetic particles comprises an iron and cobalt alloy. 5. The microelectronic interconnection of claim 2 , wherein the solder paste comprises a tin and silver solder paste. 6. A microelectronic package, comprising: a first metallic attachment structure on a substrate; a dielectric layer over the substrate and the first metallic attachment structure, wherein the dielectric layer has an opening therethrough to expose a portion of the first metallic attachment structure; a magnetic composite material adjacent the first metallic attachment structure, wherein the magnetic composite material resides entirely within the dielectric layer opening; a solder material adjacent the magnetic composite material, wherein at least a portion of the solder material resides within the dielectric layer opening; and a microelectronic device having at least one attachment projection attached to the solder material. 7. The microelectronic package of claim 6 , wherein the magnetic composite material comprises magnetic particles dispersed in a solder paste. 8. The microelectronic package of claim 7 , wherein the magnetic particles comprise iron, cobalt, nickel, or alloys thereof. 9. The microelectronic package of claim 7 , wherein the magnetic particles comprise an iron and cobalt alloy. 10. The microelectronic package of claim 7 , wherein the solder paste comprises a tin and silver solder paste.
