According to some embodiments, the material of the first conductive pad 110 may include a metal conductive material, such as molybdenum (Mo), titanium (Ti), tantalum (Ta), niobium (Nb), hafnium (Hf), nickel (Ni), chromium (Cr), cobalt (Co), zirconium (Zr), tungsten (W), aluminum (Al), copper (Cu), silver (Ag), gold (Au), alloys of the foregoing materials, other suitable conductive materials, or combinations thereof, but not limited thereto. According to some embodiments, the material of the first conductive pad 110 may include a transparent conductive material, and the transparent conductive material may include, for example, a transparent conductive oxide (TCO), but not limited thereto.
[0085] The second conducting pad 210 may be disposed on the second substrate 200, the second conducting pad 210 includes an upper surface 210t, and the second conducting pad 210 may be disposed on the second substrate 200. According to some embodiments, the second conducting pad 210 may be a part of the interconnect layer of the second substrate 200, but is not limited thereto. According to some embodiments, the second conducting pad 210 may be further electrically connected to an electronic component (not shown, for example, a driving component) disposed on the second substrate 200.
[0086] Furthermore, the material of the second conducting pad 210 may be the same as or similar to that of the first conducting pad 110 , and will not be repeated here.
[0087] According to some embodiments, the electrical connection structure 10E may further include an intermediate layer 102, which may be disposed between the first substrate 100 and the second substrate 200 and partially cover the second conducting pad 210. The intermediate layer 102 may have a single-layer or multi-layer structure.
[0088] The through hole TH1 may pass through the first substrate 100. According to some embodiments, the through hole TH1 may pass through the first substrate 100 and the intermediate layer 102 and expose a portion of the upper surface 210t of the second conducting pad 210. Figure 4As shown, in the top view, the through hole TH1 includes an extension area EA, and the conductive material CD may be partially disposed in the extension area EA and contact the upper surface 110t of the first conductive pad 110 and the upper surface 210t of the second conductive pad 210. The first conductive pad 110 may be electrically connected to the second conductive pad 210 through the through hole TH1. Specifically, the conductive material CD may pass through the through hole TH1 so that the first conductive pad 110 and the second conductive pad 210 are electrically connected. According to some embodiments, the conductive material CD may contact the upper surface 110t, the side surface 110s of the first conductive pad 110, and the upper surface 210t of the second conductive pad 210. According to some embodiments, the conductive material CD may contact the upper surface 110t, the side surface 110s of the first conductive pad 110, the first substrate 100, the intermediate layer 102, and the upper surface 210t of the second conductive pad 210.
[0089] like Figure 3 As shown, according to some embodiments, the side surface THs of the through hole TH1 may be substantially perpendicular to the upper surface 210t of the second conducting pad 210. According to other embodiments, the side surface THs of the through hole TH1 may not be perpendicular to the upper surface 210t of the second conducting pad 210, that is, the side surface THs of the through hole TH1 may be inclined, for example, it may be inclined inward (the top width of the through hole TH1 is smaller than the bottom width), or it may be inclined outward (the top width of the through hole TH1 is larger than the bottom width). The side surface THs of the through hole TH1 may have an irregular sidewall or a combination thereof, but is not limited thereto.
[0090] Furthermore, the conductive material CD may be filled partially into the through hole TH1 or completely fill the through hole TH1. For example, during the process of the conductive material CD filling the through hole TH1, a gap may exist between the side surface CDs of the conductive material CD in the through hole TH1 and the side surface THs of the through hole TH1. According to some embodiments, the side surface CDs of the conductive material CD may partially not contact the side surface THs of the through hole TH1 and / or the side surface 102s of the intermediate layer 102.
[0091] According to some embodiments, a portion of the first substrate 100 and the intermediate layer 102 may be removed by one or more photolithography processes and / or etching processes to form the through hole TH1. According to some embodiments, the photolithography process may include photoresist coating (e.g., spin coating), soft baking, hard baking, mask alignment, exposure, post-exposure baking, photoresist development, cleaning and drying, etc., but is not limited thereto. The etching process may include a dry etching process or a wet etching process, but is not limited thereto.
[0092] Furthermore, the conductive material CD may include a conductive material. According to some embodiments, the material of the conductive material CD may include silver paste, copper paste, conductive solder, other suitable conductive materials or a combination thereof, but is not limited thereto. According to some embodiments, the conductive material CD may be disposed in the through hole TH1 by solder paste printing, micro inkjet printing (MJP) process, chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process, physical vapor deposition (physical vapor deposition) process, electroplating process, electroless plating process, other suitable methods or a combination thereof.
[0093] It is worth noting that, in the process of setting the conductive material CD in the through hole TH1, the air bubbles generated can be released through the gap between the side surface CDs of the conductive material CD and the side surface THs of the through hole TH1. In this way, the risk of bubbles generated in the conductive material CD can be reduced, thereby reducing the problem of poor contact or electrical abnormality between the conductive material CD and the first conductive pad 110 or the second conductive pad 210.
[0094] As mentioned above, in the top view, the through hole TH1 includes an extension area EA, and the conductive material CD may be partially disposed in the extension area EA. In detail, in the top view, the first conductive pad 110 may include a connection area CA, and the endpoints P1 and P2 of the inner edge 110i of the first conductive pad 110 and the endpoints P3 and P4 of the outer edge 110u may define the connection area CA. In other words, in the top view, the area surrounded by the endpoints P1 and P2 of the inner edge 110i and the endpoints P3 and P4 of the outer edge 110u of the first conductive pad 110 is defined as the connection area CA. According to an embodiment of the present disclosure, in the top view, the portion of the through hole TH1 that overlaps with the aforementioned connection area CA (which may also be regarded as a portion located in the connection area CA) and the portion that extends beyond the connection area CA may be defined as the extension area EA. Furthermore, the aforementioned portion that extends beyond the connection area CA may be a portion that extends beyond the connection area CA in a direction away from the first conductive pad 110.
[0095] like Figure 4As shown, according to some embodiments, the extension area EA of the through hole TH1 at least partially overlaps with the connection area CA. For example, in the normal direction of the first substrate 100 (for example, the Z direction in the figure), the extension area EA at least partially overlaps with the connection area CA. And, according to some embodiments, the extension area EA exceeds the connection area CA. For example, the extension area EA extends beyond the connection area CA in a direction away from the first conductive pad 110. In this example, the area of the connection area CA is 0. That is, the endpoints P1 and P2 of the inner edge 110i of the first conductive pad 110 and the endpoints P3 and P4 of the outer edge 110u form a connection line segment. The portion where the through hole TH1 overlaps with the connection area CA (connection line segment) and the portion extending beyond the connection area CA can be defined as the extension area EA.
[0096] It is worth noting that, through the above configuration, the through hole TH1 provides an additional extension area EA for the conductive material CD to be disposed. When the conductive material CD is disposed in the extension area EA of the through hole TH1, the contact area between the conductive material CD and the upper surface 210t of the second conductive pad 210 can be increased, and the contact resistance between the first conductive pad 110 and the second conductive pad 210 can be reduced, thereby improving the reliability of the electrical connection structure, thereby enhancing the performance of the electronic device, and making the electronic device have good electrical quality or display quality. Furthermore, the through hole TH1 provides an additional extension area EA, which can also allow the device to have a larger allowable error value during the process of filling the conductive material CD, thereby improving the process yield.
[0097] In addition, according to some embodiments, the area of the extended region EA of the through hole TH1 may be greater than or equal to one tenth of the area of the connection area CA (that is, the area of the extended region EA ≥ 1 / 10x the area of the connection area CA), or the area of the extended region EA of the through hole TH1 may be greater than or equal to one ninth, one eighth, one seventh, one sixth, one fifth, one quarter, one third or one half of the area of the connection area CA, but not limited thereto. Alternatively, according to other embodiments, the area of the extended region EA of the through hole TH1 may be greater than or equal to 1 times, 1.1 times, 1.2 times, 1.3 times, 1.4 times, 1.5 times, 1.6 times, 1.7 times, 1.8 times, 1.9 times or 2 times the area of the connection area CA, but not limited thereto.
[0098] In particular, when the area of the extension region EA of the through hole TH1 and the area of the connection region CA meet the aforementioned relationship, the contact resistance between the conductive pads can be further reduced, the conductive capacity of the electrical connection structure can be improved, and the reliability of the electrical connection between the first substrate 100 and the second substrate 200 can be improved. In addition, the equipment can have a larger allowable error value during the process of filling the conductive material CD, thereby improving the process yield.
[0099] According to some embodiments, in a top view, the area of the extended region EA of the perforation TH1 may be greater than or equal to 5% of the total area of the perforation TH1 (i.e., the area of the extended region EA ≥ the total area of the perforation TH1 x 5%), or, the area of the extended region EA of the perforation TH1 may be greater than or equal to 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, 30%, 35% or 40% of the total area of the perforation TH1, but is not limited thereto.
[0100] In particular, when the area of the extended region EA of the through hole TH1 and the total area of the through hole TH1 meet the aforementioned relationship, the contact resistance between the conductive pads can be further reduced, the conductive capacity of the electrical connection structure can be improved, and the reliability of the electrical connection between the first substrate 100 and the second substrate 200 can be improved. In addition, the equipment can have a larger allowable error value during the process of filling the conductive material CD, thereby improving the process yield.
[0101] Furthermore, according to some embodiments, the outer edge Eu of the extension area EA of the through hole TH1 has an arc or curved profile. According to some embodiments, in the top view, the through hole TH1 may be circular, elliptical, rectangular, symmetrical, irregular or other suitable shapes, but is not limited thereto. According to some embodiments, the outer edge Eu of the extension area EA of the through hole TH1 is not aligned with the outer edge 110u of the first conductive pad 110, that is, in the top view, the outer edge Eu is discontinuous with the outer edge 110u. According to some embodiments, the outer edge Eu of the extension area EA of the through hole TH1 may protrude from the connection between the end point P3 and the end point P4 of the outer edge 110u of the first conductive pad 110. According to some embodiments, the curvature of the outer edge Eu of the extension area EA of the through hole TH1 is different from the curvature of the outer edge 110u of the first conductive pad 110. According to some embodiments, the curvature of the outer edge Eu of the extension area EA of the through hole TH1 is different from the curvature of the inner edge 110i of the first conductive pad 110.

Furthermore, in these examples, the area of the connection area CA is 0.
