Patent attributes
A semiconductor device comprises a substrate including a set of interconnect pads, a die mounted on the substrate, wherein the die includes circuitry that cannot withstand typical lead-free (Pb-free) solder reflow temperature during reflow process, and a reinforcing interposer including a first set of interconnect pads and a second set of interconnect pads. Low temperature solder material connects one of the set of interconnect pads on the substrate to a corresponding one of the first set of interconnect pads on the reinforcing interposer. A printed circuit board includes a set of interconnect pads. Low temperature solder material connects one of the set of interconnect pads of the printed circuit board to a corresponding one of the second set of interconnect pads of the reinforcing interposer. The low temperature solder material has a reflow temperature below typical Pb-free solder material.
