Reliability of Anisotropic Conductive Adhesive Joints in Electronic Packaging Applications
نویسندگان
چکیده
New interconnection materials are always necessary as a result of evolving packaging technologies and increasing performance and environmental demands on electronic systems. In particular, anisotropic conductive adhesives (ACAs) have gained popularity as a potential replacement for solder interconnects. Despite numerous benefits, ACA-type packages pose several reliability problems. During the last 10 years, tremendous research and development efforts have been spent on improving the reliability of ACA joints. In this paper, the effects of the bonding process (including the bonding temperature, bonding pressure, curing conditions and reflow processes) on the reliability of ACA joints are presented. Then the effects of the environmental factors (including high temperature, humidity, thermal cycling, impact load, etc.) on the reliability of ACA joints are discussed. Finally, the effects of the properties of the components (including properties of substrates, ACAs, conductive particles and the bump height) on the reliability of ACA joints are reviewed. Additionally, future research areas and remaining issues are pointed out. © Koninklijke Brill NV, Leiden, 2008

Flip chip interconnections using anisotropic conductive film (ACF) are now a very attractive technique for electronic packaging assembly. Although ACF is environmentally friendly, many factors may influence the reliability of the final ACF joint. External mechanical loading is one of these factors. Finite element analysis (FEA) was carried out to understand the effect of mechanical loading on t...

متن کاملEffect of autoclave test on anisotropic conductive joints
This paper reports that the stress-corrosion cracking induced by autoclave test condition reduces the mechanical strength of anisotropic conductive joints and also increases the contact resistance by allowing more moisture to reach the aluminium metallization. The use of anisotropic conductive joints with bumpless chips allows a reduction in the costs of the flip chip bonding process. The epoxy...
