Abstract: Film-on-wire (FOW) based IC devices and FOW based methods for IC packaging are described. In an embodiment, a method for packaging an IC dies involves applying a film layer to IC dies and bond wires that are attached to a substrate or a leadframe to form a film-on-wire layer, where the IC dies and the bond wires are enclosed by the film-on-wire layer, and cutting the substrate or the leadframe into IC devices. Other embodiments are also described. The FOW based method for IC packaging can eliminate the need for molding in the IC packaging process and consequently, can reduce the cost of IC packaging and the dimensions of packaged IC devices.

Abstract: The invention provides a method for forming optical compensating films, including: (a) providing a suspension containing clay; (b) adding a mono-functional acrylic oligomer of formula (I) in the suspension, wherein n1 is 2-25, R1 is C1-10 alkyl or H and R2 is H or CH3; (c) adding a water-soluble polymer in the suspension; (d) adding a bi-functional acrylic oligomer of formula (II) in the suspension, wherein n2 is 3-50, and R3 and R4 independently are H or CH3; (e) after the step (d), drying the suspension to form a film; (f) exposing the film under UV light to cure the film; and (g) stretching the film, wherein the film has only a negative C-plate property before the stretching and has both negative C-plate and positive A-plate properties after the stretching.

Abstract: A transparent flexible film is provided, formed by curing a composition, comprising: about 40-75 parts by weight of a clay; about 15-45 parts by weight of a water-soluble polymer; about 1-10 parts by weight of a mono-functional acrylic oligomer of formula (I), wherein n1 is an integer 2-25, R1 is C1-10 alkyl or H, and R2 is H or CH3; and about 10-45 parts by weight of a bi-functional acrylic oligomer of formula (II), wherein n2 is an integer 3-50, R3 and R4 are H or CH3.

Abstract: The invention provides an antiglare film. A resin layer is disposed on a substrate. Micro-aggregates are distributed in an interior and over a surface of the resin layer. Each of the micro aggregates has a size of 0.1-3 ?m and is formed by aggregating aggregated nano-particles. The micro-aggregates distributing over the surface result in a surface roughness of the resin layer. The weight ratio of the resin layer to the micro-aggregates is 1:0.1-0.7.
