Abstract
Micro LED displays offer superior performance compared to traditional LCD and OLED displays. However, challenges in transfer technology, such as high throughput and scalability, must be addressed. Among various mass transfer techniques, stamp transfer and laser-assisted transfer are widely used for Micro LED assembly. The laser-assisted transfer technique enables high-speed and accurate transfer. Anisotropic conductive film (ACF) is commonly used for its energy absorption properties during chip transfer. However, during the subsequent thermocompression bonding process, the ACF film needs to be ruptured, which adds no value to the bonding process. To address limitations, we have developed a polymer-reinforced solder paste that demonstrates high effectiveness in absorbing impact energy during chip dropping, providing performance comparable to ACF-like materials for die receiving. It also possesses typical solder paste characteristics, enabling the formation of reliable solder joints between the chip and substrate. This material facilitates streamlined manufacturing process and providing opportunities for chip rework in subsequent stages.
