Abstract
Development of smart objects with electronic functions requires integration of printed components with IC chips or dies. Conventional chip or die bonding including wire bonding, flip chip bonding, and soldering may not be applicable to chip or die attachment on low temperature plastic surfaces used in physical objects. Printing conductive connection traces requires a smooth interface between contact pads of a chip and the surface of the physical object. In order to address this issue of chip/die attachment to a physical object, this disclosure provides embodiments to construct a fixture on a chip or die for attachment and electrical connection onto a physical object by printing operations and/or ACF bonding methods.
