This paper describes the assembly of integrated circuits on flexible substrates in an industrial flip chip process allowing reel-to-reel production. Die bonding concepts to meet future demands for high-throughput solutions at low cost are introduced.Since the range of process parameters such as temperatures and bonding forces is closely linked to the properties of the substrates, an overview of different materials that can be used as flexible substrates is given. Material properties are compared and different processes for metallisation and structuring are described. Furthermore, the multi-stage tag production process is illustrated. Introducing straps, in order to decouple the prebonding and final bonding process steps, permits improvement of the achievable throughput and usage of very simple equipment for final assembly.Using these methods, a new type of UHF-ID tag based on thin polymer foil was produced. A unique antenna design matches different impedances and allows the tags to be mounted on different materials with little influence on their read range. Their tenuousness and flexibility allows to hide these tags, for example in cardboard packaging. Possible applications with focus on detecting plagiarism are discussed.
Zusammenfassung
Kleinskalige multidirektionale Transportmodule sind in der Lage, durch dynamische Gruppenbildung eine Vielzahl unterschiedlicher Transportaufgaben zu erfüllen. Stückgüter können auf einer flächig angeordneten Modulmatrix entlang beliebiger Transportwege bewegt werden. Das in diesem Beitrag vorgestellte Verfahren zur kooperativen Wegplanung basiert auf einem vollständig dezentralen Ansatz, bei dem die einzelnen Elemente durch eine einfache Zustandsübergangsfunktion charakterisiert sind, aus der sich ein effizientes Verhalten des Gesamtsystems ergibt.
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.
