Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of microneedles, and more particularly to a flip-chip connection structure between a microneedle and a flat cable and a manufacturing method thereof. [Background technology]

[0002] As we all know, humans think much faster than they communicate through letters or words. For example, when we use a keyboard to type, many of us are aware that our typing is much slower than our thinking. For people with physical disorders such as severe paralysis or limb impairments, this bottleneck in information transmission is even more extreme.

[0003] Therefore, humans have been searching for ways to connect human nerves to external devices and effectively increase the transmission speed of information. To this end, neural interfaces were born. Neural interfaces, commonly called neural implants or neural "strings," can establish a connection between nerve cells and external devices. For example: Willett et al. published a paper in Nature reporting the development of a brain-machine interface (BCI) for typing that will eventually enable paralyzed people to communicate at their own speed of thought (Willett, FR, Avansino, DT, Hochberg, LR, Henderson, JM & Shenoy, KV Nature 593, 249-254 (2021)). Neural interfaces are also widely used in the research and treatment of various neurological disorders.

[0004] Microneedles are important components in neural interfaces, and it is known that conventional microneedles can be integrated using the TSV method. For example, Patent Document 1 (CN114343655A) discloses a microneedle that can form a planar array with multiple contacts, and also discloses a manufacturing method for the above-mentioned microneedle. The manufacturing process requires using the TSV method to form through-holes at both ends of the tail of the microneedle body, and then using a wire bonding method to extract the microneedle signal.

[0028] The realization of the objectives, functional features and advantages of the present application will be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings in combination with the embodiments.

[0029] The following will be described clearly and completely in relation to the technical solutions in the embodiments. It is clear that the described embodiments are only some of the embodiments, not all of the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments of the present application, all other embodiments that a person skilled in the art can obtain without performing creative work fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0030] In addition, when the embodiments of the present application include directional indications (e.g., up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.), the directional indications are used only to explain the relative positional relationships, movement conditions, etc. between each part in a certain specific posture (see figure), and when the specific posture changes, the directional indications also change accordingly.

[0031] In addition, when the embodiments of the present application refer to "first", "second", etc., the descriptions of "first", "second", etc. are used for explanatory purposes only and should not be understood as indicating or implying the relative importance thereof or implicitly specifying the number of technical features presented. Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may include at least one of the features, either explicitly or implicitly.

If a combination of technical solutions causes a contradiction or cannot be realized, it should be understood that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of the application's protection.

[0032] The present application provides a flip chip connection structure between a microneedle and a flat cable, and a manufacturing method thereof, which has the following advantages:

[0033] 1. The present application uses a MEMS method to fabricate microneedles and flat cables, and in particular when the microneedles are array microneedles, hundreds to thousands of signal lines of the readout circuit can be drawn out by metal flip-chip bonding, solving the problem of drawing out multiple signals. In addition, the connection method used in the present application effectively reduces the steps of the method compared with the process of the conventional method, improves production efficiency, and reduces production costs.

[0034] 2. The present application forms a flip-chip metal layer, particularly a metal indium layer, on the microneedle and the flat cable, respectively, and connects the two modules, the microneedle and the flat cable, by pressing at room temperature, thereby reducing the ohmic contact resistance of the electrical contact, improving the stability of the joint, and improving the accuracy of the signal output.

[0035] 3. In the present application, when realizing the connection between the flat cable and the microneedles, especially when the microneedles are array microneedles, the flat cable can be inserted into the microneedle array by rotation, the metal on the flat cable and the metal on the microneedle array can be aligned, and the flip chip contact can be formed by room temperature pressing. Through the above operation, the fixed length of the flip chip contact metal part of the microneedle array intersects with the flip chip joint part of the flat cable, so that the alignment accuracy of the flip chip joint can be greatly improved, and the difficulty of alignment during flip chip bonding of two modules can be solved.

[0036] 4. The flat cable and the microneedle of the present application can be connected not only by vertical metal flip chip bonding, but also by connecting the metal side walls. Since the contact area is affected by the metal wiring during the process of vertical metal flip chip bonding, the flip chip bonding area can be increased by using the flip chip bonding by connecting the metal side walls, while the stability of the flip chip bonding can be further improved.

[0037] Hereinafter, the flip chip connection structure between the microneedle and the flat cable of the present application and the manufacturing method thereof will be described with reference to specific examples.

[0038] The present inventors have found that the manufacturing of microneedles by the conventional TSV method requires a complicated manufacturing process, high cost, and poor connection stability and signal transmission accuracy between the microneedles and the flat cable. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present application provided by the present inventors, a flip chip metal layer of the microneedle is formed, a flip chip metal layer of the flat cable is formed, and the flip chip metal layer of the microneedle and the flip chip metal layer of the flat cable are aligned and pressed to form a flip chip contact, thereby realizing the flip chip connection between the microneedle and the flat cable. Compared with the manufacturing of microneedle arrays by the conventional TSV method, the process steps can be obviously simplified and accurate signal transmission can be realized. The stability of the connection between the flip chip connected microneedle and the flat cable by the method of the present application is higher than that of the connected microneedle and the flat cable made by the conventional TSV method, the service life is longer, and the failure rate is significantly reduced. The resistance value of the ohmic contact resistance generated by the electrical contact of the contacts is obviously reduced, and the stability and accuracy of the signal transmission are obviously improved.

[0046] Finally, in step S3, the sidewalls of the flip chip contact metal 5a of the microneedle and the flip chip contact metal 5b of the flat cable are interconnected to form a flip chip contact by cold pressing.
