Thermosonic flip chip bonding is an important technology for the electronic packaging due to its simplicity, cost effectiveness and clean and dry process. Mechanical properties of the horn and the shank, such as the natural frequency and the amplitude, have a great effect on the bonding capability of the transverse flip chip bonding system. In this research, two kinds of study are performed. The first is the new design of the clamp and the second is the effect of tolerance parameters to the performance of the system. The clamp with a bent shape is newly designed to hold the nodal point of the flip chip. The second is the effect of the design parameters on the vibration amplitude and planarity at the end of the shank. The variation of the tolerance parameters changes the amplitude and the frequency of the vibration of the shank. They, in turn, have an effect on the quantity of the plastic deformation of the gold ball bump, which determined the quality of the flip chip bonding. The tolerance parameters that give the great effect on the amplitude of the shank are determined using Taguchi's method. Error of set-up angle, the length and diameter of horn and error of the length of the shank are determined to be the parameters that have peat effect on the amplitude of the system.

In this paper, chip-on-glass(COG) interconnection with anisotropic conductive film(ACF) using lateral thermosonic bonding technology is considered. In general, thermo-compression bonding which is used in practice for flip-chip bonding suffers from the low productivity due to the long bonding time. It will be shown that the bonding time can be improved by using lateral thermosonic bonding in which lateral ultrasonic vibration together with thermo-compression is utilized. By measuring the internal temperature of ACF, the fast curing of ACF thanks to lateral ultrasonic vibration will be verified. Moreover, to prove the reliability of the lateral thermosonic bonding, observation of pressured mark by conductive particles, shear test, and water absorption test will be conducted.
