Questions Regarding Underfill Options

Expert Panel Responses
There is IPC J-STD-030 Guideline for Selection and Application of Underfill Material for Flip Chip and other Micropackages. It provides all the information you need for your underfill process. To answer your second question; in all underfill methods I've worked with, the underfill was always applied from the top using automated equipment or directly onto the package prior to placement.
