Abstract
Chip-on-glass (COG) interconnection using anisotropic conductive film (ACF) is susceptible to open failures. Open failures can be induced by the absence of conductive particles or an insufficient contact. Experimental results as well as statistical approaches were used to understand the conditions for open failures in COG bonding. The binomial distribution was used to predict the probability of the open failure due to the deficiency of conductive particles. The probability of an open failure decreased with increasing bump area and decreasing particle size. The bump height variation was also an important factor that affected the probability of the open failure together with the bump-to-electrode gap and the particle size. The variation in bump height should be minimized to avoid open failures in fine-pitch applications where a smaller particle size is required.
