Patent attributes
A component includes a carrier substrate having a coefficient of thermal expansion αp and a chip mounted on the carrier substrate by a plurality of bumps. The chip has a first coefficient of thermal expansion α1 in a first direction x1 and a first expansion difference, Δα1 equal to the absolute value of αp−α1. The chip also has a second coefficient of thermal expansion α2 in a second direction x2 and a second expansion difference Δα2 is equal to the absolute value of αp−α2,. The bumps are arranged such that a first distance, Δx1, corresponding to a normal projection of a line between centers of terminally situated bumps in the first direction onto an axis running parallel to direction x1 is less than a second distance corresponding to a normal projection of a line between centers of terminally situated bumps in the second direction onto an axis parallel to direction x2.
