Description

互連接系統及其製造方法以及基板Interconnection system and its manufacturing method and substrate

本發明係關於用於電子裝置的一種互連接系統及其製造方法。更具體地,本發明係關於利用可變形電連接器的互連接系統及其製造方法,該可變形電連接器為包含液晶組件(Liquid Crystal Assembly,LCA)在內的各種裝置提供冗餘接觸點。The invention relates to an interconnection system for electronic devices and a manufacturing method thereof. More specifically, the present invention relates to an interconnection system using a deformable electrical connector and a manufacturing method thereof. The deformable electrical connector provides redundant contact points for various devices including Liquid Crystal Assembly (LCA) .

在電子裝置中,互連接(Interconnection)結構是由金屬對金屬的直接接觸實現。舉例而言,在接合介面的每一側上設有鋁、銅、銀、金等的金屬釘(Metal Stud)。然而,為了形成該接合,直接的金屬對金屬互連接結構通常需要超高溫(例如,300℃或更高)及超高壓(例如,200 mm晶圓的結合力大於50kN)。因此,可用的裝置及基板類型具有諸多限制。舉例而言,可能存在溫度限制,因為某些基板不適合大於200℃的溫度,或者由於裝置的脆弱性而無法承受所需的結合力。高溫及/或高壓的量可能會限制可以達到的均勻度、顏色及亮度。高溫的量亦可能因與這樣的溫度相關的加熱及冷卻操作而增加了晶片製程時間。In electronic devices, the Interconnection structure is realized by direct metal-to-metal contact. For example, metal studs (metal studs) of aluminum, copper, silver, gold, etc. are provided on each side of the bonding interface. However, in order to form this bond, a direct metal-to-metal interconnect structure usually requires ultra-high temperature (for example, 300° C. or higher) and ultra-high pressure (for example, the bonding force of 200 mm wafers is greater than 50 kN). Therefore, the available devices and substrate types have many limitations. For example, there may be temperature limitations because some substrates are not suitable for temperatures greater than 200° C. or cannot withstand the required bonding force due to the fragility of the device. The amount of high temperature and/or high pressure may limit the uniformity, color, and brightness that can be achieved. The amount of high temperature may also increase the wafer process time due to the heating and cooling operations associated with such temperature.

傳統的液晶顯示器組件係藉由背板裝置及其所連接的玻璃蓋板之間的偏移量來實現其互連接結構,使該玻璃蓋板具有一凸出部。此凸出部通常係經焊接或導電漿連接到電路板。The traditional liquid crystal display assembly realizes its interconnection structure through the offset between the backplane device and the connected glass cover, so that the glass cover has a protrusion. This protrusion is usually connected to the circuit board by soldering or conductive paste.

液晶顯示器組件的已知的內部交越(Crossover)的形式包含懸浮在環氧樹脂(Epoxy)中,具有金屬塗層的聚合物球體。舉例而言,在背板的導電/接觸區域塗上載有球體的環氧樹脂,且在塗覆玻璃蓋板時,該些球體接觸了兩個表面。然而,目前使用此連接方法的部件存在一些問題。首先,較難可以找到直徑小於3µm的球體,導致關聯於其的製造成本增加。此外,於實務上,只有當球體被壓碎到高度約1.5µm時,才能夠使用載有球體的環氧樹脂。據此,覆蓋球體的金屬常會受損且可能破裂,導致電互連性的損失。由於球體係嵌於環氧樹脂內,因此對於電連接的完整度會受到額外的阻力及干擾。此外,這些球體可能需要更昂貴的貴金屬,(例如,金)以避免氧化物的生長。The known internal crossover form of liquid crystal display components includes polymer spheres suspended in epoxy (Epoxy) with a metal coating. For example, the conductive/contact area of the back plate is coated with epoxy resin carrying spheres, and when the glass cover plate is coated, the spheres contact two surfaces. However, there are some problems with components currently using this connection method. First, it is difficult to find spheres with a diameter of less than 3 µm, which leads to increased manufacturing costs associated with them. In addition, in practice, only when the ball is crushed to a height of about 1.5μm, can the epoxy resin with the ball be used. Accordingly, the metal covering the sphere is often damaged and may crack, resulting in loss of electrical interconnectivity. Since the ball system is embedded in the epoxy resin, the integrity of the electrical connection will be subject to additional resistance and interference. In addition, these spheres may require more expensive precious metals, (eg, gold) to avoid oxide growth.

The following examples further illustrate the viewpoints of the present invention in detail, but do not limit the scope of the present invention by any viewpoint.

本發明的一實施例包含在電子裝置中面對面定向的兩個表面之間的冗餘(Redundant)且可靠的電性互連。在一實施例中,提供了種一液晶組件(Liquid Crystal Assembly,LCA),其中包含像素顯示電路的背板及具有透明導電層的玻璃蓋板。一電壓可以被施加到一或兩個表面,使當兩表面電性連接時兩表面之間存在一電場。與習知的系統及方法相比,本發明的多個實施例實現了數個益處及優點。該些實施例允許以高精確度在晶圓之間建立交叉連接。該些實施例的單元間隙可以調整為任何期望的高度。藉此,可以實現互連接的可能的高度範圍。舉例而言,SU-8,其中一種可以被用於製造可變形電連接器的材料,可以被旋塗(Spin Coat)到大於500 µm。依據本發明的實施例,頂部及底部基板的可變形電連接器的組合高度超過了所需的單元間隙,以確保基板之間有互連發生。此外,本發明的實施例是高度可擴展的,例如,當用於可變形電連接器的可變形材料在基板上成線地被光圖案化(Photopattern)時,可變形電連接器可以被修改為任何尺寸或形狀以實現本文提供的擠壓程序。本發明的實施例有助於促進裝置的組件的精確擺放,部分原因為可變形電連接器的線係以光蝕刻法形成,使得可變形核心段對基板的校準可以達到大約微米或是更小。此外,本發明的實施例與已知的裝置相比有助於顯著地減小尺寸佔用面積。An embodiment of the present invention includes a redundant and reliable electrical interconnection between two surfaces oriented face-to-face in an electronic device. In one embodiment, a liquid crystal assembly (Liquid Crystal Assembly, LCA) is provided, which includes a back plate of a pixel display circuit and a glass cover plate with a transparent conductive layer. A voltage can be applied to one or two surfaces so that when the two surfaces are electrically connected, an electric field exists between the two surfaces. Compared with conventional systems and methods, the various embodiments of the present invention achieve several benefits and advantages. These embodiments allow cross-connections to be established between wafers with high accuracy. The cell gap of these embodiments can be adjusted to any desired height. In this way, the possible height range of interconnection can be realized. For example, SU-8, one of the materials that can be used to make deformable electrical connectors, can be spin-coated (Spin Coat) to greater than 500 µm. According to the embodiment of the present invention, the combined height of the deformable electrical connectors of the top and bottom substrates exceeds the required cell gap to ensure that interconnection occurs between the substrates. In addition, the embodiments of the present invention are highly extensible, for example, when the deformable material used for the deformable electrical connector is photopatterned in line on the substrate, the deformable electrical connector can be modified Any size or shape to achieve the extrusion procedure provided in this article. The embodiments of the present invention help to promote the precise placement of the components of the device, partly because the wires of the deformable electrical connector are formed by photolithography, so that the alignment of the deformable core section to the substrate can reach approximately micrometers or more. small. In addition, the embodiments of the present invention contribute to a significant reduction in size and footprint compared with known devices.

本發明的實施例的另一優勢為不會產生凸出部,該凸出部會讓基板的邊緣無法用於其他目的(例如,導線接合(Wire-bond)或填充(Fill-port))。據此,相對於尺寸必須增加以容納凸出部的已知的互連接方法,使用本發明的系統及方法的裝置的佔用面積較小。Another advantage of the embodiments of the present invention is that no protrusions are generated, and the protrusions make the edges of the substrate unusable for other purposes (for example, wire-bond or fill-port). Accordingly, compared to the known interconnection method in which the size must be increased to accommodate the protrusion, the device using the system and method of the present invention has a smaller footprint.

The common contact 208 may be coupled to all or part of the electrical connectors 204A-N. The coupling can be performed by photolithography, coating, welding, or other electrical or mechanical connection methods.

The size and material of the deformable electrical connector 204A-N may be the same as the description about the deformable electrical connector 104A-N.

在本發明的一實施例中,如圖1A及2A所示,分別如上所述的在基板101及202上的可變形電連接器104A-N及204A-N可以是在基板101及202上平行於或實質平行於在相同基板上的其他可變形電連接器。然而,需特別注意的是,形成在一給定基板的可變形電連接器104A-N及204A-N可能不是平行的,且在本發明的一實施例中,可變形電連接器104A-N及204A-N可以係以同心圓(或半同心圓)、對角線、同心矩形、梯形等圖樣形成在基板上,且包含但不限於非線性及/或不對稱形狀。此外,在本發明的一實施例中,可變形電連接器104A-N及204A-N可以係由連續線圖樣所形成,而非如圖1A及2A所示的線段。此外,可變形電連接器104A-N及204A-N的截面形狀可以如圖1B及2B所示為梯形的形狀或實質為梯形的形狀。本發明所屬技術領域中具有通常知識者應能理解,截面的形狀將根據可變形電連接器在基板上的擺設圖樣或放置位置及/或可變形電連接器的形狀而變化。In an embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIGS. 1A and 2A, the deformable electrical connectors 104A-N and 204A-N on the substrates 101 and 202 as described above may be parallel on the substrates 101 and 202. It is substantially parallel to other deformable electrical connectors on the same substrate. However, it should be particularly noted that the deformable electrical connectors 104A-N and 204A-N formed on a given substrate may not be parallel, and in an embodiment of the present invention, the deformable electrical connectors 104A-N And 204A-N can be formed on the substrate in a pattern of concentric circles (or semi-concentric circles), diagonal lines, concentric rectangles, trapezoids, etc., and includes, but is not limited to, nonlinear and/or asymmetric shapes. In addition, in an embodiment of the present invention, the deformable electrical connectors 104A-N and 204A-N may be formed by a continuous line pattern instead of the line segments shown in FIGS. 1A and 2A. In addition, the cross-sectional shapes of the deformable electrical connectors 104A-N and 204A-N may be trapezoidal shapes or substantially trapezoidal shapes as shown in FIGS. 1B and 2B.

在本發明的一實施例中可變形電連接器的截面形狀可以是圓形、半圓形、矩形及/或其他可由選擇的沉積程序所控制的截面的形狀。可變形電連接器可以是由例如傳統及/或專有的沉積程序,包含例如光蝕刻法、氣相沉積法等來形成。本文所述的核心段106A-N及206A-N係可變形的,並且可以是由具有小於層疊在核心段上的金屬層的楊氏係數(Young’s modulus)的材料所形成,且該核心段可以是導電或不導電的核心段。此結構使得例如可變形電連接器可以藉由相對較小的力(例如,等於或小於約3000牛頓)壓碎或變形。In an embodiment of the present invention, the cross-sectional shape of the deformable electrical connector can be circular, semi-circular, rectangular, and/or other cross-sectional shapes that can be controlled by a selected deposition process. The deformable electrical connector may be formed by, for example, conventional and/or proprietary deposition procedures, including, for example, photolithography, vapor deposition, and the like.

This structure enables, for example, the deformable electrical connector to be crushed or deformed by a relatively small force (for example, equal to or less than about 3000 Newtons).

圖3係依據本發明的實施例所繪示的互連接系統300。互連接系統300大致描述如本文所述的兩基板之間以可變形電連接器304A、304B、304C、…及304N(以下以「304A-N」稱之)以及354A、354B、…及354M(以下以「354A-M」稱之)形成電性耦接。互連接系統300包含兩個基板,分別為第一基板302及第二基板352。第一基板302包含複數個第一可變形電連接器304A-N設置於第一基板302的表面上,且連接到第一基板302的第一共用接點308。第二基板352包含複數個第二可變形電連接器354A-M設置於第二基板352的表面上,且連接到第二基板352的第二共用接點358。為了在第一基板302的第一共用接點308及第二基板352的第二共用接點358之間建立電性連接的關係,可以將該二基板擠壓在一起以使至少部分的第一可變形電連接器304A-N及至少部分的第二可變形電連接器354A-M變形。變形及導電性係發生在有金屬層塗覆的可變形電連接器304A-N與有金屬層塗覆的可變形電連接器354A-M接觸的交會點,並且在第一基板302及第二基板352之間建立電性連接,例如是點350所示,進而形成潛在的NxM個連接器。在本發明的一實施例中,此電性連接提供了參考電壓至玻璃蓋板用於液晶顯示器。因此,複數個冗餘電接觸點可以形成在第一可變形電連接器304A-N及第二可變形電連接器354A-M的交會點(如本文所使用的,「冗餘」例如是指多個電性連接點,因此減少或消除了單一電性連接點的故障)。FIG. 3 is an interconnection system 300 according to an embodiment of the invention. The interconnection system 300 generally describes the use of deformable electrical connectors 304A, 304B, 304C,..., and 304N (hereinafter referred to as "304A-N") and 354A, 354B,..., and 354M between two substrates as described herein. Hereafter referred to as "354A-M") form an electrical coupling. The interconnection system 300 includes two substrates, a first substrate 302 and a second substrate 352 respectively. The first substrate 302 includes a plurality of first deformable electrical connectors 304A-N disposed on the surface of the first substrate 302 and connected to the first common contact 308 of the first substrate 302. The second substrate 352 includes a plurality of second deformable electrical connectors 354A-M disposed on the surface of the second substrate 352 and connected to the second common contact 358 of the second substrate 352. In order to establish an electrical connection between the first common contact 308 of the first substrate 302 and the second common contact 358 of the second substrate 352, the two substrates can be pressed together to make at least part of the first The deformable electrical connectors 304A-N and at least part of the second deformable electrical connectors 354A-M are deformed. Deformation and conductivity occur at the intersection point where the deformable electrical connector 304A-N coated with the metal layer and the deformable electrical connector 354A-M coated with the metal layer contact, and on the first substrate 302 and the second substrate 302 Electrical connections are established between the substrates 352, for example, as shown by point 350, thereby forming potential N×M connectors. In an embodiment of the present invention, this electrical connection provides a reference voltage to the glass cover for use in a liquid crystal display. Therefore, a plurality of redundant electrical contact points may be formed at the intersection of the first deformable electrical connector 304A-N and the second deformable electrical connector 354A-M (as used herein, "redundancy" refers to, for example, Multiple electrical connection points, thus reducing or eliminating the failure of a single electrical connection point).

圖3中所繪示的可變形電連接器大致上形成一陣列,其中第一可變形電連接器304A-N係大致設置為垂直於第二可變形電連接器354A-M。應當理解,圖3的實施例是可變形電連接器的示例性佈局,並且在其他實施例中,電連接器可以是不垂直於彼此。The deformable electrical connectors shown in FIG. 3 roughly form an array, in which the first deformable electrical connectors 304A-N are generally arranged perpendicular to the second deformable electrical connectors 354A-M. It should be understood that the embodiment of FIG. 3 is an exemplary layout of deformable electrical connectors, and in other embodiments, the electrical connectors may not be perpendicular to each other.

圖4係依據本發明一實施例所繪示的互連接系統400的剖視圖。此實施例繪示了使用如圖1A及1B所示的電連接器的互連接系統。在此實施例中,第一基板402與第二基板452被擠壓在一起。第一基板402包含至少一個可變形電連接器,且該可變形電連接器包含核心段406(例如,聚合物段)及設置於核心段406上並耦接於共用接點408的金屬層410。第二基板452包含至少兩個可變形電連接器,且該二可變形電連接器包含核心段456A及456B及設置於核心段456A及456B上並耦接於共用接點458的金屬層460。當第一基板402及第二基板452被擠壓在一起時,金屬層410及聚合物核心段406發生變形,且第二基板452的金屬層460及核心段456A及456B發生變形,如450及470所示,並形成冗餘電性連接450及470。雖然未示出於本圖式,金屬層460及核心段456A及456B可以同樣地使可能在第一基板402上的另外的可變形電連接器發生變形。FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of an interconnection system 400 according to an embodiment of the invention. This embodiment illustrates an interconnection system using electrical connectors as shown in FIGS. 1A and 1B. In this embodiment, the first substrate 402 and the second substrate 452 are pressed together. The first substrate 402 includes at least one deformable electrical connector, and the deformable electrical connector includes a core section 406 (for example, a polymer section) and a metal layer 410 disposed on the core section 406 and coupled to the common contact 408 . The second substrate 452 includes at least two deformable electrical connectors, and the two deformable electrical connectors include core segments 456A and 456B and a metal layer 460 disposed on the core segments 456A and 456B and coupled to a common contact 458. When the first substrate 402 and the second substrate 452 are pressed together, the metal layer 410 and the polymer core section 406 are deformed, and the metal layer 460 and the core sections 456A and 456B of the second substrate 452 are deformed, such as 450 and As shown at 470, redundant electrical connections 450 and 470 are formed. Although not shown in this drawing, the metal layer 460 and the core segments 456A and 456B can similarly deform other deformable electrical connectors that may be on the first substrate 402.

圖5係依據本發明一實施例所繪示的包含可變形互連接系統的液晶顯示器組件500。本實施例的液晶顯示器組件500包含背板基板502,且該背板基板502包含顯示器或空間光調變器504(Spatial Light Modulator)(例如,主動式矩陣顯示器、LCD顯示器、LCoS顯示器、反射顯示器、LED顯示器、OLED顯示器、微LED顯示器等),以及放置於背板基板502上的透明導電層552(例如,部分透明層,像是玻璃或塑膠層、銦錫氧化物層(Indium Tin Oxide,ITO)等),從而在背板基板502與透明導電層552之間形成單元間隙。複數個互連接系統554提供了背板基板502(未示出於圖中)上的接觸點及透明導電層552的導電表面之間的電性連接。每一互連接系統,例如互連接系統554,係以形成在背板基板502上的複數個第一可變形電連接器及形成在透明導電層552上的複數個第二可變形電連接器所形成的陣列。FIG. 5 shows a liquid crystal display assembly 500 including a deformable interconnection system according to an embodiment of the present invention. The liquid crystal display assembly 500 of the present embodiment includes a backplane substrate 502, and the backplane substrate 502 includes a display or a spatial light modulator 504 (Spatial Light Modulator) (for example, active matrix display, LCD display, LCoS display, reflective display) , LED displays, OLED displays, micro LED displays, etc.), and a transparent conductive layer 552 placed on the backplane substrate 502 (for example, a partially transparent layer, such as a glass or plastic layer, an indium tin oxide layer (Indium Tin Oxide, ITO) etc.), thereby forming a cell gap between the backplane substrate 502 and the transparent conductive layer 552. A plurality of interconnection systems 554 provide electrical connections between the contact points on the backplane substrate 502 (not shown in the figure) and the conductive surface of the transparent conductive layer 552. Each interconnection system, such as interconnection system 554, is formed by a plurality of first deformable electrical connectors formed on the backplane substrate 502 and a plurality of second deformable electrical connectors formed on the transparent conductive layer 552 The formed array.

圖6係圖5的液晶顯示器組件500的剖面圖,其中示出了圖4所示的互連接結構與液晶顯示器組件500中的其他結構有關的相對位置。示出的互連接陣列係使用顯示器背板基板502上由聚合物核心段456A-D及背板共用接點458組成的結構,並被連續的金屬層460覆蓋,且透明導電層552(例如是玻璃蓋板)上的結構由被延伸到共用接點408(例如,IMITO)的金屬層410覆蓋的聚合物核心段406組成。結構558係為周邊密封558(Perimeter Seal),其在玻璃蓋板及背板之間建立了單元間隙566空間或空隙,或是在一實施例中,單元間隙可以包圍顯示區域,並且液晶562可以被放置在其中。當液晶材料填入單元間隙且在全側皆被密封時,則如圖5所示,液晶材料可以被存留在液晶顯示器組件500內。可以選擇性地包含附加的密封560,以保護互連接陣列免受環境危害。圖6所繪示的波浪狀結構564表示透明導電層552(玻璃蓋板)遠大於液晶顯示器組件500的單元間隙566。6 is a cross-sectional view of the liquid crystal display assembly 500 of FIG. 5, which shows the relative positions of the interconnection structure shown in FIG. 4 and other structures in the liquid crystal display assembly 500. The interconnection array shown uses a structure composed of polymer core segments 456A-D and backplane common contacts 458 on the display backplane substrate 502, and is covered by a continuous metal layer 460, and a transparent conductive layer 552 (for example, The structure on the glass cover is composed of a polymer core segment 406 covered by a metal layer 410 extending to a common joint 408 (eg, IMITO). The structure 558 is a perimeter seal 558 (Perimeter Seal), which creates a cell gap 566 space or gap between the glass cover and the back plate, or in one embodiment, the cell gap can surround the display area, and the liquid crystal 562 can Is placed in it. When the liquid crystal material fills the cell gap and is sealed on all sides, as shown in FIG. 5, the liquid crystal material can be stored in the liquid crystal display assembly 500. An additional seal 560 can optionally be included to protect the interconnected array from environmental hazards. The wavy structure 564 shown in FIG. 6 indicates that the transparent conductive layer 552 (glass cover) is much larger than the cell gap 566 of the liquid crystal display assembly 500.

此述的冗餘電連接器可以在基板之間,藉由施加小於會造成基板毀損及/或形變的壓力以提供電性的互連接結構。具體示例為,假設可變形電連接器是使用楊氏係數為1-5GPa的聚合物核心及楊氏係數為69GPa的鋁塗層所形成。且例如,每一基板可以包含160個可變形電連接器。每一可變形電連接器的平均寬度可以為或大約為3µm。因此,當兩基板被擠壓在一起時,可能的電性接觸位置(可變形電連接器的交會處)的數量為25,600。若每一該些電性接觸位置的面積為3x3µm,則每一接觸位置為9µm2 ,或9E-6mm2 。總擠壓面積(定義為可變形電連接器交會的總面積)為0.23mm2 。如基板被擠壓在一起時,將3500牛頓(N)的力施加至基板會導致可變形電連接器的接觸點承受超過150,000巴(Bar)的壓力。基於上述示例的假設條件,此力量會至少使多數的可變形電連接器產生變形,因而形成上千個冗餘電接觸點,且此壓力不會損害一般的基板。可變形電連接器的核心材料及/或金屬層材料及/或其厚度(高度)可以被選擇,以確保基板被擠壓在一起時產生變形而不損害基板本身的完整性。The redundant electrical connectors described above can provide an electrical interconnection structure between the substrates by applying a pressure less than that which would cause damage and/or deformation of the substrate. A specific example is assuming that the deformable electrical connector is formed using a polymer core with a Young's coefficient of 1-5 GPa and an aluminum coating with a Young's coefficient of 69 GPa. And for example, each substrate may include 160 deformable electrical connectors. The average width of each deformable electrical connector can be or approximately 3 µm. Therefore, when the two substrates are pressed together, the number of possible electrical contact positions (the intersection of the deformable electrical connector) is 25,600. If the area of each of these electrical contact locations is 3x3µm, then each contact location is 9µm 2 , or 9E-6mm 2 . The total extrusion area (defined as the total area where the deformable electrical connectors meet) is 0.23mm 2 . For example, when the substrate is squeezed together, applying a force of 3500 Newtons (N) to the substrate will cause the contact point of the deformable electrical connector to withstand a pressure of more than 150,000 bar (Bar). Based on the assumptions of the above example, this force will deform at least most of the deformable electrical connectors, thus forming thousands of redundant electrical contacts, and this pressure will not damage the general substrate. The core material and/or metal layer material and/or thickness (height) of the deformable electrical connector can be selected to ensure that the substrate is deformed when being pressed together without compromising the integrity of the substrate itself.
