Patent number: 7170185Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for connecting an integrated circuit chip to a circuit substrate. The method includes the step of pre-applying adhesive directly to a bumped side of an integrated circuit chip. The method also includes the steps of removing portions of the adhesive from the tips of the solder bumps to expose a contact surface, and pressing the bumped side of the integrated circuit chip, which has previously been coated with adhesive, against the circuit substrate such that the bumps provide an electrical connection between the integrated circuit chip and the circuit substrate. The adhesive is removed from the tips of the solder bumps using a solvent assisted wiping action. The pre-applied adhesive on the chip forms a bond between the integrated circuit chip and the circuit substrate.Type: GrantFiled: October 17, 2000Date of Patent: January 30, 2007Assignee: 3M Innovative Properties CompanyInventors: Peter B. Hogerton, Kevin Yu Chen, Joel A. Gerber, Robert L. D. Zenner

Publication number: 20040134604Abstract: A method of laminating a structure comprises at least two layers and a photopolymerizable adhesive composition between the layers, at least one of the layers being opaque, colored, or reflective. One or both of the layers is transmissive to actinic radiation in wavelengths in the range of greater than 400 nm and up to 1200 nm. The photopolymerizable adhesive composition absorbs radiation in the identified spectral region of the radiation transmissive layer. Curing is effected by directing radiation in the identified spectral region through the radiation transmissive layer and produces a laminated structure.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 22, 2003Publication date: July 15, 2004Applicant: 3M Innovative Properties CompanyInventors: Joel D. Oxman, Michael A. Kropp, Peter B. Hogerton

Publication number: 20010008169Abstract: Disclosed is an anisotropic conductive adhesive having an adhesive layer and conductive particles individually adhered to the adhesive layer, the conductive particles being arranged in an ordered array. The size of the conductive particles is at least somewhat smaller than the thickness of the adhesive layer. Also disclosed is an anisotropic conductive adhesive having an adhesive layer, conductive particles individually adhered to the adhesive layer, and a release liner having an ordered array of dimples. The conductive particles reside in a single layer in the dimples. The anisotropic conductive adhesive is made by placing the conductive particles in an ordered array of dimples on a low adhesion surface. An adhesive layer is then laminated on top such that the conductive particles individually adhere to the adhesive layer. The anisotropic conductive adhesive may be used to electrically connect fine pitch electrodes on opposing circuit layers.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 30, 1998Publication date: July 19, 2001Applicant: 3M INNOVATIVE PROPERTIES COMPANYInventors: GLEN CONNELL, BERRY S.
