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.

In this study, solder ball incorporated polyvinylidenefluoride (PVDF) nanofiber was added into the ACF system to overcome short circuit issues of fine pitch flex-on-flex (FOF) assembly. Also, in order to improve the thermal mismatch of the flexible substrate which can lead to electrode misalignment during the bonding process, low melting temperature Sn58Bi solder balls were used with vertical ultrasonic (U/S) bonding method. When performing FOF assembly using PVDF nanofiber/Sn58Bi solder ACF and vertical ultrasonic bonding, PVDF nanofiber/Sn58Bi solder ACFs showed 34% higher solder capture rate on an electrode compared to conventional Ni ACFs and conventional Sn58Bi solder ACFs. Additionally, PVDF nanofiber/Sn58Bisolder ACFs showed 100% insulation between neighboring electrodes where conventional Ni ACFs and conventional Sn58Bi solder ACFs showed 75% and 87.5% insulation. Other electrical properties such as contact resistance and current handling capability as well as reliability test of PVDF nanofiber/Sn58Bi solder ACFs showed improved results compared to those of conventional Ni ACFs, which proves the formation of stable solder joint of PVDF nanofiber/Sn58Bi solder ACFs.
