Advancements in Scalable Anisotropic Adhesive for FHE Manufacturing
Abstract
Building upon the foundation from the SEMI FlexTech supported Mixed Mode Interconnect (MMI) project, SunRay Scientific will speak on the manufacturing advancement of SMT level, multicomponent anisotropic conductive adhesive connections with enhanced throughput, finer pitch capabilities, and meeting reliability requirements for commercial application. In the process of these achievements, SunRay demonstrated technology transfer of the anisotropic adhesive bonding process at a high-volume manufacturer’s facility. This talk will describe the initial MMI development process, the post-project advancements made in scaling towards commercialization, and the current state of the art in SunRay’s anisotropic conductive adhesive for Flexible Hybrid Electronics manufacturing.
