Abstract

Using eutectic In-Ag and Bi-Sn solder materials, we developed the COG technique having a minimum pitch of 50 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. The maximum temperature in this process is $160^{\circ}C$. We fabricated spherical and uniform solder bumps by controlling the microstructure of Bi-Sn solder bumps. The contact resistances of Bi-Sn solder joints were 19 m$\Omega$ at $80{\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ pitch and 60 m$\Omega$ at $80{\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ pitch, respectively. These values are much lower than the contact resistance of the conventional ACF bonding. The contact resistances of the solder joint are almost the same before and after the underfill process. The contact resistance of the underfilled Bi-Sn solder joint did not change even after reliability test.
