ACA Curing Process Optimization Based on Curing Degree Considering Shear Strength of Joints

This paper Brain Health presents an optimized curing process for the shear strength achievement and retention for anisotropic conductive adhesive (ACA) flip-chip interconnections.The curing kinetics of ACA is first presented and then a curing degree (α) relationship between curing temperature T and curing time t is established.The influence of different curing degree states on the interfacial shear strength is then reported, including the Normally Open Thermal Cutout effect of degree of curing on shear strength both before and after hygro-thermal aging.
