Abstract
Interconnections using anisotropic conductive films (ACF) were dominant in applications for flat-panel displays.
However, a novel bonding mechanism for flex-on-glass interconnection is presented. Using SBM (Solder Bump
Maker) technology, SnAgCu solder bumps were created on a glass substrate with a uniform height. Then, the
glass substrate is thermo-compression bonded with a flexible PCB using a multifunctional bonding material
called “Fluxing underfill”. The interconnection using solder and underfill method was analyzed through cross-
sectional SEM image. Contact resistance values in the order of 10-4 Ω, which is about two times lower than that
of the conventional ACFs, were obtained. Preliminary results on cross-section analysis and contact resistance
measurement indicate the novel bonding mechanism using the Fluxing underfill has a potential for applications
in display interconnections.
