Abstract

Stiffness-gradient stretchable electronic packages of the soft PDMS/hard PDMS/FPCB structure were processed using the polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) as the base substrate and the more stiff flexible printed circuit board (FPCB) as the island substrate. The elastic characteristics of the stretchable packages were estimated and their long-term reliabilities on stretching cycles and bending cycles were characterized. With 0.28 MPa, 1.74 MPa, and 1.85 GPa as the elastic moduli of the soft PDMS, hard PDMS, and FPCB, respectively, the effective elastic modulus of the soft PDMS/hard PDMS/FPCB package was estimated as 0.6 MPa. The resistance of the stretchable packages varied for 2.8~4.3% with stretching cycles ranging at 0~0.3 strain up to 15,000 cycles and for 0.9~1.5% with 15,000 bending cycles at a bending radius of 25 mm.

Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)를 베이스 기판으로 사용하고 이보다 강성도가 높은 flexible printed circuit board (FPCB)를 island 기판으로 사용한 soft PDMS/hard PDMS/FPCB 구조의 강성도 경사형 신축패키지를 형성하고, 이의 탄성특성 및 인장 싸이클과 굽힘 싸이클에 따른 신뢰성을 분석하였다. Soft PDMS, hard PDMS, FPCB의 탄성계수가 각기 0.28 MPa, 1.74 MPa, 2.25 GPa일 때 soft PDMS/hard PDMS/FPCB 신축패키지의 유효 탄성계수는 0.6 MPa로 분석되었다. 0~0.3 범위의 인장 싸이클을 15,000회 인가시 신축패키지의 저항변화률은 2.8~4.3% 이었으며, 굽힘반경 25 mm의 굽힘 싸이클을 15,000회 인가시 저항변화률은 0.9~1.5% 이었다.
