Products and systems with electrical bumps composed of foamed bulk metallic glass

摘要

A foamed bulk metallic glass electrical connection is formed on a substrate of an integrated circuit package. The foamed bulk metallic glass electrical connection exhibits a low modulus that resists cracking during shock and dynamic loading. The foamed bulk metallic glass electrical connection is used as a solder bump for communication between an integrated circuit device and external structures. A process of forming the foamed bulk metallic glass electrical connection includes mixing bulk metallic glass with a blowing agent.
