According the difference of flex substrate, (reel tape), there are three kind assembly types of LCD driver IC is COG, TCP and COF, respectively. The TCP is the maturest in these types for stability of raw material supply and other specification. And TCP is the major assembly type of LCD driver IC and the huge demand from Taiwan's large TFT LCD panel house since this spring. But due to its package structure and the raw material applied in this package, there is some limitation in fine pitch application of this package type, (TCP). So, COF will be very potential in compact and portable application comparison with TCP in the future. There are three kinds assembly methods in COF, one is ACF by using the anisotropic conductive film to connect the copper lead of tape and gold bump of IC, another is eutectic bonding by using the thermo-pressure to joint the copper lead of tape and gold bump of IC, and last is NCP by using non-conductive paste to adhere the copper lead of tape and gold bump of IC. To have a global realization, this paper will briefly review the status of Taiwan's large TFT panel house, the internal driver IC design house, and the back-end assembly house in the beginning. The different material property of raw material, PI tape is also compared in the paper. The more detail of three kinds of COF assembly method will be described and compared in this paper.

실제 사용시 신뢰성을 보장하기 위하여, 고온에서 장시간 동안의 시효로 인한 ACA COG(Anisotropic Conductive Chip On Glass) 접합 특성의 변화가 연구되었다. 모든 접합 시편들은 16$0^{\circ}C$에서 156시간 동안 유지되었고 시효하는 동안의 접촉저항의 변화는 감소하였다. 특히, 156시간이후, 4000개 /$\textrm{mm}^2$의 입자밀도를 가진 ACA에서는 접촉저항의 벼노하가 나타나지 않았다. 입자크기의 경우 작은 입자를 가진 ACA는 16$0^{\circ}C$에서 시효후에도 접촉저항의 변화를 보이지 않았다. 또한 4000개/$\textrm{mm}^2$ 및 5$\mu\textrm{m}$ 입자를 가진 ACA를 사용한 시편은 접합상태가 안정하였기 때문에 16$0^{\circ}C$에서도 경화수지의 팽창 및 리플로우(reflow)에 의한 영향을 받지 않았다. 따라서 이 ACA에서는 16$0^{\circ}C$에서 156시간 동안 시효한 후에도 오픈(open)이 나타나지 않았다.

We studied a bonding at low temperature using polymer bump and Non-Conductive Adhesive (NCA), and studied the reliability of the polymer bump/Al pad joints. The polymer bumps were formed on oxidized Si substrates by photolithography process, and the thin film metals were formed on the polymer bumps using DC magnetron sputtering. The substrate used was AL metallized glass. The polymer bump and Al metallized glass substrates were joined together at $80^{\circ}C$ under various pressure. Two NCAs were applied during joining. Thermal cycling test ($0^{\circ}C-55^{\circ}C$, cycle/30 min) was carried out up to 2000 cycles to evaluate the reliability of the joints. The bondability was evaluated by measuring the contact resistance of the joints through the four point probe method, and the joints were observed by Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). The contact resistance of the joints was $70-90m{\Omega}$ before the reliability test. The joints of the polymer bump/Al pad were damaged by NCA filler particles under pressure above 200 MPa. After reliability test, some joints were electrically failed since thinner metal layers deposited at the edge of bumps were disconnected.

TCP(Tape Carrier Package), COG (Chip On Glass), COF(Chip On Film) are three methods for connecting LDI(LCD Driver IC) with LCD panels. Especially COF is growing its portion of market place because of low cost and fine pitch correspondence. But COF has a problem of the lead broken failure in LCD module process and the usage of customer. During PCB (Printed Circuit Board) bonding process, the mismatch of the coefficient of thermal expansion between PCB and D-IC makes stress-concentration in COF lead, and also D-IC bending process during module assembly process makes the level of stress in COF lead higher. As an affecting factors of lead-broken failure, the effects of SR(Solder Resister) coating on the COF lead, surface roughness and grain size of COF lead, PI(Polyimide) film thickness, lead width and the ACF(Anisotropic Conductive Film) overlap were studied, The optimization of these affecting manufacturing processes and materials were suggested and verified to prevent the lead-broken failure.

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.
