ABSTRACT:
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a substrate on which a BGA (Ball Grid Array) type electrical part is mounted, and a method for mounting the BGA type electrical part on the substrate.
2. Description of the Related Art
A plurality of electrodes is mounted on a rear surface of a BGA electrical part. A plurality of lands is mounted on a front surface of a substrate on which the BGA electrical part is mounted. An array of the electrodes and an array of the lands are matched with each other. The electrode is connected to the land through solder. This connection enables the BGA electrical part to be fixed to the substrate.
The technique for mounting the BGA electrical part on the substrate is disclosed in Japanese Laid Open Patent Applications JP-A-H7-147481, JP-A-H8-125325, JP-A-H9-45805, JP-A-H10-163371 and JP-AH11-74637 and Japanese Patent Application Filing Number H10-346025 corresponding to U.S. patent application Filing Ser. No. 09/435,448. Those documents disclose the technique for connecting one land to one electrode.
The mounting of the BGA electrical part on the substrate requires a countermeasure for protecting a crack caused by heat cycle stress. The mounting of the BGA electrical part requires a countermeasure for protecting a damage caused by external stress. Those countermeasures are done by using a curing agent or a resin adhesive (hereafter, merely referred to as an adhesive). If the adhesive is filled between the BGA electrical part and the substrate, it is possible to improve the bond strength between the BGA electrical part and the substrate.
Increase in a mount density of the substrate causes an interval between the BGA electrical part and a peripheral part to be narrow. If the interval is narrow, the adhesive for the BGA electrical part comes in contact with the peripheral part. The adhesive disturbs the radiation from the peripheral part. The adhesive semi-permanently attaches the BGA electrical part and the peripheral part to the substrate. The BGA electrical part and the peripheral part are not easily dismounted from the substrate. If trouble is induced in the BGA electrical part and the peripheral part, it is impossible to replace the BGA electrical part and the peripheral part.
The applicant already filed a patent with regard to an invention for improving bond strength without using an adhesive (Japanese Patent Application Filing Number H10-346025). This application discloses a substrate (printed circuit substrate) is provided with a normal land to which a normal electrode of a BGA electrical part is bonded and an integrated land to which a plurality of integrated electrodes of the electrical part are bonded. Bond strength between the BGA electrical part and the electrode is stronger than bond strength between the substrate and the land. Bond strength between the substrate and the BGA electrical part depends on the bond strength between the substrate and the land. Its bond strength has a value that has no influence on a usual usage environment. The occurrences of a strong force for stripping the BGA electrical part from the substrate causes the BGA electrical part together with the land to be stripped from the substrate.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
It is an object of the present invention is to provide a substrate on which the BGA type electrical part is mounted and a method for mounting the electrical part on the substrate. On the substrate and in the method, the BGA electrical part together with the land is never stripped by the heat cycle stress from the substrate.
