Chip-on-glass (COG) bonding using a nonconductive adhesive (NCA) and the entrapment of NCA and fillers in the COG joints were studied. Sn was used as a bump material because it has a higher propensity of plastic deformation than an Au bump. Three types of Sn bumps were fabricated, electroplated Sn bumps, reflowed Sn bumps, and coined Sn bumps. Three types of NCAs were applied during COG bonding. The reflowed bump had the least amount of trapped NCA with fillers among the bumps studied. The NCA with the lowest viscosity was trapped the least compared to the other NCAs. The electrical test results showed that contact resistance increased with increasing amounts of trapped NCA with fillers in the COG joint.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
