ABSTRACT:
Die attach structure and method in which the joint between a die and a substrate is formed in a manner which provides a uniform temperature distribution in the die and reduces stress in the joint near the edge of the die. In some embodiments, the substrate is formed with a non-planar surface in the die attach area, and the joint between the die and the substrate is thicker toward the edge of die than at the center. In other embodiments, different die attach materials are employed to make the joint stiffer toward the center of the die and more flexible toward the edges. In some embodiments, both the thickened joint and the different die attach materials are employed.
