Abstract

This work describes the work of an investigation of the effects of solder reflow process on the reliability of anisotropic conductive film (ACF) interconnection for flip-chip on flex (FCOF) applications. Experiments as well as computer modeling methods have been used. The results show that the contact resistance of ACF interconnections increases after the reflow and the magnitude of the increase is strongly correlated to the peak reflow temperature. In fact, nearly 40 percent of the joints are open when the peak reflow temperature is 260°C, while there is no opening when the peak temperature is 210°C. It is believed that the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) mismatch between the polymer particle and the adhesive matrix is the main cause of this contact degradation. To understand this phenomenon better, a three-dimensional (3-D) finite element (FE) model of an ACF joint has been analyzed in order to predict the stress distribution in the conductive particles, adhesive matrix and metal pads during the reflow process. The stress level at the interface between the particle and its surrounding materials is significant and it is the highest at the interface between the particle and the adhesive matrix.
