In this thesis, lateral thermosonic bonding with ACFs was investigated as a process to make high reliability joints for FPD fabrication. Conditions for thermosonic and thermocompression bonding with ACFs were determined and used to make specimens in a driving test jig for testing of bond reliability by thermal shock. The results showed that thermosonic bonding temperature of $199\;^{\circ}C$ and bonding time of 1s produced bonds with good reliability. Additionally, thermosonic bonding temperature and time were reduced and thermal shock test results compared to this proposed curing condition. It is concluded that theromosonic bonding with ACFs can be effectively applied to reduce bonding temperature and time compared with that of thermocompression bonding.

Alumina tapes, having various ratios of alumina to alumina＋binder＋plasticizer (a/(a＋o)) and binder to binder＋plasticizer(b/(b＋p)), were prepared by the tape casting method. The tapes were thermocompressed varying the thermocompression parameters such as temperature, pressure, and duration time. Among the parameters, the pressure was the most influential to the tape packing density. The packing density varied in two different ways depending on the a/(a＋o) ratio. For the tapes having low a/(a＋o) ratio, a saturation density was reached by applying very a low pressure of 1 MPa. For tapes with high a/(a＋o), on the contrary, the saturation density was obtained at a relatively high pressure. These different responses to the pressure are attributed to the fact that the rearrangement of alumina particles by the pressure becomes easy as an organic content in the tapes is high.

In this study, we describe a low-temperature wafer-level thermocompression bonding using electroplated gold seal line and bonding pads by electroplating method for RF-MEMS devices. Silicon wafers, electroplated with gold (Au), were completely bonded at $320^{\circ}C$ for 30 min at a pressure of 2.5 MPa. The through-hole interconnection between the packaged devices and external terminal did not need metal filling process and was made by gold films deposited on the sidewall of the throughhole. This process was low-cost and short in duration. Helium leak rate, which is measured to evaluate the reliability of bonded wafers, was $2.7{\pm}0.614{\times}10^{-10}Pam^{3}/s$. The insertion loss of the CPW packaged was $-0.069{\sim}-0.085\;dB$. The difference of the insertion loss between the unpackaged and packaged CPW was less than -0.03. These values show very good RF characteristics of the packaging. Therefore, gold thermocompression bonding can be applied to high quality hermetic wafer level packaging of RF-MEMS devices.

The effect of temperature on ACF thermocompression bonding for FPD assembly was investigated, It was found that Au bumps on driver IC's were not bonded to the glass substrate when the bonding temperature was below $140^{\circ}C$ so bonds were made at temperatures of $163^{\circ}C$, $178^{\circ}C$ and $199^{\circ}C$ for further testing. The bonding time and pressure were constant to 3 sec and 3.038 MPa. To test bond reliability, FPD assemblies were subjected to thermal shock storage tests ($-30^{\circ}C$, $1\;Hr\;{\leftrightarrow}80^{\circ}C$, 1 Hr, 10 Cycles) and func! tionality was verified by driver testing. It was found all of FPDs were functional after the thermal cycling. Additionally, Au bumps were bonded using ACF's with higher conductive particle densities at bonding temperatures above $163^{\circ}C$. From the experimental results, when the bonding temperature was increased from $163^{\circ}C$ to $199^{\circ}C$, the curing time could be reduced and more conductive particles were retained at the bonding interface between the Au bump and glass substrate.

Applications of REBa₂Cu₃O_7-δ tapes require joints with a simple manufacturing process, low resistance and good mechanical properties. In the present study, we successfully developed a copper diffusion joint between Cu-stabilized REBa₂Cu₃O_7-δ tapes that meets the above requirements without solder simply by applying flux, heat and pressurization. After a 3 min thermocompression process at approximately 150 δ and 336 MPa in air, two tapes were directly connected between Cu stabilizers by copper diffusion, which was proven by microstructure analysis. The specific resistivity of the copper diffusion joint reached 5.8 nΩ·cm² (resistance of 0.4 nΩ for a 306 mm splicing length) at 77 K in the self-field. The axial tensile stress reached 200 N without critical current degradation. The results show promise for the preparation of copper diffusion joints to be used in coils, attached tapes, and wire/cable terminals.

In this paper, we present the fabrication of copper electrode array and test of electrochemical discharge machining for the fabrication of microholes on Borofloat33 glass. Copper electrode array is fabricated by the bonding of silicon upper substrate and lower substrate and copper electroplate. The silicon upper electrode having microholes fabricated by ICP-RIE is the mold of copper electroplate. The lower substrate is used as the seed layer for copper electroplate after Au - Au thermocompression bonding with the upper substrate.

As devices have evolved, traditional flip chip bonding and recently commercialized thermocompression bonding techniques have been limited. Laser-assisted bonding is attracting attention as a technology that satisfies both the requirements of mass production and the yield enhancement of advanced packaging interconnections, which are weak points of these bonding technologies. The laser-assisted bonding technique can be applied not only to a two-dimensional bonding but also to a three-dimensional stacked structure, and can be applied to various types of device bonding such as electronic devices; display devices, e.g., LEDs; and sensors.

차세대 전자소자는 입출력(I/O) 핀 수의 증가, 전력소모의 감소, 소형화 등으로 인해 fine-pitch 배선 시스템이 요구되고 있다. Fine-pitch 특히 10 um 이하의 fine-pitch에서는 기존의 무연솔더나 Cu pillar/solder cap 구조를 사용할 수 없기 때문에 Cu-to-Cu bumpless 배선 시스템은 2D/3D 소자 구조에서 매우 필요한 기술이라 하겠다. Bumpless 배선 기술로는 BBUL 기술, 접착제를 이용한 WOW의 본딩 기술, SAB 기술, SAM 기술, 그리고 Cu-to-Cu 열압착 본딩 기술 등이 연구되고 있다. Fine-pitch Cu-to-Cu interconnect 기술은 연결 방법에 상관없이 Cu 층의 불순물을 제거하는 표면 처리 공정, 표면 활성화, 표면 평탄도 및 거칠기가 매우 중요한 요소라 하겠다.

Integration technologies involving flexible substrates are receiving significant attention owing the appearance of new products regarding wearable and Internet of Things technologies. There has been a continuous demand from the industry for a reliable bonding method applicable to a low-temperature process and flexible substrates. Up to now, however, an anisotropic conductive film (ACF) has been predominantly used in applications involving flexible substrates; we therefore suggest low-temperature lead-free soldering and bonding processes as a possible alternative for flex-on-flex applications. Test vehicles were designed on polyimide flexible substrates (FPCBs) to measure the contact resistances. Solder bumping was carried out using a solder-on-pad process with Solder Bump Maker based on Sn58Bi for low-temperature applications. In addition, thermocompression bonding of FPCBs was successfully demonstrated within the temperature of $150^{\circ}C$ using a newly developed fluxing underfill material with fluxing and curing capabilities at low temperature. The same FPCBs were bonded using commercially available ACFs in order to compare the joint properties with those of a joint formed using solder and an underfill. Both of the interconnections formed with Sn58Bi and ACF were examined through a contact resistance measurement, an $85^{\circ}C$ and 85% reliability test, and an SEM cross-sectional analysis.

Recently, several studies are being conducted to achieve a curvature of 180° or more for the edge of the display glass. The thermocompression molding process is applied to the manufacture of curved glass, and high hardness G5 graphite is used as the mold material to withstand the impact applied to the mold. G5 graphite has high hardness and strong brittleness, which makes tool wear and surface damage easy during machining. Therefore, the demand for diamond-coated tools with good mechanical properties is increasing in the G5 machining field. In this study, the optimal cutting conditions and machinability of a nanodiamond (NCD) coated ball end mill being developed by a tool manufacturer were analyzed and evaluated. For this purpose, the same test was performed on the microdiamond (MCD) coated ball end mill and compared together. In summary, the machinability of MCD and NCD coated tools showed better cutting performance at a cutting speed of 282 m/min, a feed rate of 1,400 mm/min, and a radial depth of cut of 0.08 to 0.1 mm.
