In this work, we propose a novel packaging concept for highly integrated RF systems using SunRay Scientific’s magnetically aligned ZTACH® ACE. We demonstrate the ability to "grow" z-axis interconnects allowing for multilayer packages that are not sensitive to the height between pads. Using this effect, we
introduce two approaches to integrating multiple silicon wafers on top of each other, creating the possibility for an exceptionally dense integrated system-in-a-package. First, a reverse-pyramid package with all chips stacked facing down on a silicon substrate is demonstrated. Second, a "Matryoshka" package assembled with the alternation of chip's face direction is also demonstrated. The simplified assembly process of ZTACH® ACE and the new packaging concepts can offer a compact and cost-effective solution to system-in-package based RF systems. This technology can be processed at temperatures ranging from 80˚C up to 160˚, making it friendly to a range of substrates and applications from PCB, FPC, Flexible Hybrid Electronics and even wearable textile applications where device attach presents considerable issues.
SunRay Scientific will present its success in the development of a novel anisotropic conductive adhesive, ZTACH® ACE, for the next level of heterogenous integration. Materials and process development will be shared for dense and fine pitch Land Grid Arrays (LGA) on a semi-rigid interposer. Additionally, advancements were made for die-to-die bonding and Ball Grid Arrays (BGA) on Polyimide. Test results will show the thin ZTACH® ACE bond, typically 25 – 75 microns thick, provides superior adhesion, low contact resistance, and mechanical robustness on a range of rigid, semi-rigid and flexible substrates during electromechanical testing. Updates on progress towards achieving ≤ 50-micron pitch will be shared.
