Anisotropic conductive film (ACF), is a lead-free and fine-pitch interconnect materials that is commonly used in liquid crystal display (LCD) manufacturing to make and maintain the electrical and mechanical connections from the driver IC to the substrate. A key issue in the ACF technology is the packaging yield or failure probability, and performance of ACF’s material formula composition. This paper utilizes the V-shaped curve method to analyze the failure probability of composite ACF packages with a smart composition or a functional formula. In the proposed model, the probability of opening failures is modeled using a Poisson function, modified to take into account the average conception on the effective conductive area between opposing pads. Meanwhile, the probability estimation of bridging failures is based on the Box-Strip-Brick model between the neighboring pad pairs in the array. The results show the derived probability formulation can involve the probability conceptions of the composite ACF into a complete evaluation computation.

Anisotropic conductive film (ACF), is a lead-free material that is commonly used in fine-pitch interconnect manufacturing to make and maintain the electrical and mechanical connections between the micro-electrodes. A key issue about the circuit conductivity is the deformation, breakage, and number of conductive particles in the ACF packaging. For the field of vision, the Film-On-Glass (FOG) assembly on the glass-side is used to obtain excellent images in experimental observation. This paper utilizes the microscope technology to investigate the bonding properties of the conductive particles, and consider the electrical resistance effects after packaging. The results show the deformation shape, breakage type, and number of conductive particles will be quantitatively affect the electrical performances, and one can measure the area, diameter, and roundness of the deformed particles’ projection in the glass-side view to evaluate the ACF packaging quality.
