Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of LED technology, and in particular to a wire bonding bridge chip. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of LED packaging technology, wire bonding is a critical step in connecting LED chips and driver ICs, directly affecting product reliability and production efficiency. For some specially designed LED chips with ICs, such as multi-channel LED modules with complex built-in circuits, workers need to perform multiple or repetitive wire bonding operations, which can easily lead to difficulties in wire bonding or unstable wire bonding quality. Moreover, the pad spacing of such LED modules is usually small, and traditional wire bonding technology is prone to short circuits or poor soldering due to insufficient precision. This requires repeated adjustments to the wire bonding equipment parameters to barely complete the wire bonding, which takes up to several hours and the yield is difficult to guarantee. Therefore, a wire bonding bridge chip is needed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] For certain specially designed LEDs with IC chips, such as multi-channel LED modules with built-in complex circuits, workers need to perform multiple or repeated wire bonding operations, which can easily lead to difficulties in wire bonding or unstable wire bonding quality. In addition, the pad spacing of such LED modules is usually small, and traditional wire bonding technology is prone to short circuits or poor soldering due to insufficient precision. This requires repeated adjustments to the wire bonding equipment parameters to barely complete the wire bonding, which takes up to several hours and the yield rate is difficult to guarantee. Example

[0022] To reduce the difficulty of wire bonding when adding LEDs and ICs, please refer to [link / reference needed]. Figures 1-4 This invention provides a wire bonding bridge chip that can connect LED chips and IC chips, reducing the difficulty of wire bonding special LEDs with IC beads at a low cost. The wire bonding bridge chip uses an insulating substrate 1 as a base, with a conductive layer 2 on top of the substrate 1. The insulating substrate 1 is made of sapphire, which has excellent insulation properties, preventing leakage or short circuits between the conductive layer 2 and the external environment or the insulating substrate 1. Conductive channels 3 are provided on the conductive layer 2, and wire bonding ports 4 for connecting the LED chip and the IC chip are provided at the ends of the conductive channels 3. The conductive channels 3 and wire bonding ports 4 of this wire bonding bridge chip can provide a stable electrical connection path between the LED chip and the IC chip. Compared to the traditional method of repeated debugging and multiple wire bonding operations between the LED chip and the IC chip, the addition of the wire bonding bridge chip can reduce the number of wire bonding operations and the amount of wire bonding, reduce the difficulty of wire bonding, shorten the wire bonding time, and improve the wire bonding yield.

[0023] To enable this wire bonding bridge chip to be applied to wire bonding scenarios of varying complexity, conductive channel 3 is equipped with single-channel and multi-channel modes. The single-channel mode of conductive channel 3 includes conductive path 1 301, which is connected to multiple conductive paths 2 302. The multi-channel mode of conductive channel 3 includes two or more conductive paths 303, which are all connected to multiple conductive paths 4 304. The single-channel mode is suitable for simple wire bonding needs, with a compact structure and reduced space occupation. The multi-channel mode supports multi-point connection and solves the complex wire bonding needs of high-density, multi-pin LEDs and ICs.

[0024] As the main connector between the LED chip and the IC chip, the conductive channel 3 needs to ensure its conductivity. Therefore, an anti-oxidation layer 305 is covered on the surface of the conductive channel 3. The anti-oxidation layer 305 is made of titanium nitride, which can resist high-temperature oxidation and corrosion in humid environments, extend the chip life, and reduce the risk of resistance increasing over time while maintaining conductivity. The conductive layer 2 is made of silver paste, and the conductive channel 3 is set on the conductive layer 2 through photolithography. The low resistivity of the silver paste ensures efficient current transmission.

[0025] To facilitate the assembly of the wire bonding bridge chip, a positioning mark 5 is provided on the bottom of the insulating substrate 1. The positioning mark 5 is a laser-engraved cross line. During production, the conductive layer 2 can be aligned with high precision according to the positioning mark 5, thereby improving the production efficiency of the chip. Example

[0026] Since there may be a risk of breakage between conductive path 1 301 and conductive path 2 302, and conductive path 303 and conductive path 4 304, in order to ensure the electrical performance of the wire bonding bridge chip, reinforcing pads 306 are provided at the intersection nodes of conductive path 1 301 and conductive path 2 302, and conductive path 303 and conductive path 4 304, to enhance the tensile strength of the conductive path connection points, reduce the risk of conductive path detachment, and improve electrical stability.

[0027] To avoid signal crosstalk between the multi-channel modes of conductive channel 3, an insulating groove 307 is provided between the conductive paths of the multi-channel modes. The depth of the insulating groove 307 penetrates the conductive layer 2, and the width of the insulating groove 307 is set to 5-20μm. This can completely isolate adjacent conductive paths, avoid short circuits, and ensure independent transmission of multi-channel signals and signal integrity.

[0028] The control method of this utility model is automatic control through a controller. The control circuit of the controller can be implemented by simple programming by those skilled in the art. The power supply is also common knowledge in the field. Since this utility model is mainly used to protect mechanical devices, the control method and circuit connection will not be explained in detail.
