Abstract:
A stress-relief layer is formed by dispensing a polymer upon a substrate lower surface under conditions to partially embed a low melting-point solder bump that is disposed upon the lower surface. The stress-relief layer flows against the low melting-point solder bump. A stress-compensation collar is formed on a board to which the substrate is mated, and the stress-compensation collar partially embeds the low melting-point solder bump. An article that exhibits a stress-relief layer and a stress-compensation collar is also included. A computing system that includes the low melting-point solder, the stress-relief layer, and the stress-compensation collar is also included.
