Abstract

The effect of COG bonding parameters, especially the bonding temperature, on the bonding quality and reliability was investigated in this paper. We measured the bubble area formed in the ACF resin during the bonding process and tried to investigate the relationship between bubble area and bonding peel strength. 85/85 test which exposes a sample to a 85% humidity and $85^{\circ}C$ temperature condition was also carried out. The bubble area was dramatically increased under ~$10^{\circ}C$ lower than recommended bonding temperature. The bubble area formed at the edge of IC chip was larger than the other parts of IC chip. But the peel strength was not associated with the bubble area. High temperature and humid condition made the bubble area larger, but we could not find clear trend of change in the peel strength.
