Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of semiconductor FPCB circuit structure, specifically to a Micro LED FPCB bonding position structure. Background Technology

[0002] In Micro LED display technology, FPCB (Flexible Printed Circuit Board) typically consists of a heat dissipation substrate and an FPC circuit board; the traditional bonding method involves directly bonding the FPC circuit board to the surface of the heat dissipation substrate with adhesive, as shown in the attached image. Figure 2 As shown, the following defects exist: 1. Insufficient adhesion: It is fixed only by the bottom glue, without physical support points. When picking up and putting down, the FPC circuit board is easily separated from the heat sink substrate due to the pulling force; 2. Difficulty in glue control: Too much glue is easy to overflow into the soldering area, affecting the flatness of the CMOS circuit chip; too little glue results in insufficient adhesion and poor reliability; 3. High difficulty in rework: After peeling, the heat sink substrate and FPC circuit board have residual glue. Forcibly cleaning it can easily damage the circuit or substrate, resulting in poor wire bonding and increased manufacturing costs.

[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need for an improved FPCB bonding structure that enhances the fixing effect through physical structure, reduces reliance on adhesives, and improves product reliability. Utility Model Content

[0007] At least one side of the heat dissipation substrate is provided with a groove in the middle portion;

[0008] The edge of the FPC circuit board is inserted into the groove;

[0009] The front side of the heat dissipation substrate is provided with a slot, and the position of the slot corresponds to the position of the gold finger pad of the FPC circuit board.

[0010] The front area of ​​the heat dissipation substrate, excluding the slot, covers the surface of the FPC circuit board.

[0012] Preferably, the groove extends along the length of the side edge of the heat dissipation substrate, and the depth and width of the groove are matched with the thickness and width of the FPC circuit board, so that the FPC circuit board is tightly inserted into the groove.

[0013] Preferably, the slot is a through hole penetrating the front surface of the heat dissipation substrate, and the shape and size of the through hole are matched with the gold finger pad of the FPC circuit board.

[0014] Preferably, the material of the heat dissipation substrate is one of invar steel, aluminum, copper, ceramic or silicon nitride, and the thermal expansion coefficient and heat dissipation coefficient are selected and set according to the application scenario.

[0015] Preferably, after the FPC circuit board is inserted into the groove, the gold finger pad of the FPC circuit board faces upwards and is aligned with the slot, and the area of the heat dissipation substrate covering the surface of the FPC circuit board supports and fixes the FPC circuit board.

[0016] Preferably, the semi-finished product module is fixed on the heat dissipation substrate by a die bonding machine.

[0017] Preferably, the gold wire realizes the conductive connection between the CMOS circuit chip and the gold finger pad of the FPC circuit board through ultrasonic welding.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present application are as follows:

[0019] The Micro LED FPCB bonding position structure of the present application inserts the FPC circuit board into the groove, and the heat dissipation substrate covers the surface to form an upper support fulcrum. Combined with glue adhesion, the simple plane adhesion is converted into a three-dimensional fixed structure of "groove positioning + surface support", which significantly improves the pull-out resistance. The gold finger pad is precisely exposed through the slot, avoiding the pollution of the pad by the overflow of the glue, and the flatness of the substrate is stable, reducing the risk of wire breakage. At the same time, it is suitable for existing SMT, die bonding, ultrasonic wire bonding and other equipment, without the need to add complex processes, reducing production costs.

[0045] Material selection: invar steel (thermal expansion coefficient 1.2-1.5×10 -6 / ℃, strong dimensional stability, suitable for high-precision scenarios).

[0046] Structure processing:

[0047] Side groove 5: A rectangular groove 5 is processed in the middle of any side of the heat dissipation substrate 1, which extends along the length direction of the substrate, with a depth of 0.3 mm (matching the thickness of 0.3 mm of the FPC circuit board 4) and a width of 1.5 mm (slightly larger than the edge width of 1.4 mm of the FPC circuit board 4, facilitating insertion).

[0048] Front slot 6: A circular through hole is opened at the position corresponding to the gold finger pad 7 of the FPC circuit board 4, with a diameter of 1.0 mm (matching the diameter of 0.9 mm of the gold finger pad 7, with a 0.1 mm edge reserved for positioning).

[0049] 2. FPC circuit board 4 design and preparation;

[0050] Circuit layout: The gold finger pad 7 adopts a gold plating process, with a size of 0.9 mm x 0.5 mm and a pitch of 0.3 mm, meeting the precision requirements of ultrasonic welding.

[0051] Edge structure: The edge width is 1.4 mm, and the thickness is 0.3 mm, matching the size of the groove 5 of the heat dissipation substrate 1, and forming a tight fit after insertion.

[0052] 3. Preparation of semi-finished module;

[0053] LED chip 3 and CMOS circuit chip 2 flip chip bonding:

[0054] The LED chip 3 (size 20 μm x 20 μm) is flip chip bonded with the CMOS circuit chip 2 (driving backplate) through Cu-Cu micro-welding points, realizing circuit conduction.

[0055] Surface deposition of SiO2 passivation layer (thickness 1 μm), to protect the chip from water vapor and impurities.

[0056] Module fixation: The semi-finished module is pasted in the central area of the heat dissipation substrate 1 by a die bonding machine, using UV glue (viscosity 5000 mPa·s) as the adhesive, and the curing conditions are: ultraviolet irradiation (365 nm, 1000 mJ / cm 2 ) for 30 seconds.

[0057] 4. Plug-in bonding and welding;

[0058] FPC circuit board 4 insertion groove 5: The edge of the FPC circuit board 4 is precisely inserted into the groove 5 of the heat dissipation substrate 1 by an SMT chip mounter, with the gold finger pad 7 facing up and completely aligned with the front slot 6, ensuring that the exposed area of the pad is ≥ 95%.

[0060] 5. Testing and performance verification;

[0061] Pull-out test: A pull-out force of 5N was applied perpendicular to the surface of the heat sink substrate 1 for 10 seconds. The FPC circuit board 4 did not peel off from the heat sink substrate 1, while traditional structures peeled off under a force of 2N. (See attached...)

Water vapor can only enter from one side, while the other three sides are covered and wrapped by the heat dissipation substrate 1, resulting in good airtightness; (See attached diagram) Figure 6 The diagram shows the water vapor entry path before improvement. Water vapor can enter from four sides, resulting in poor airtightness.
