Publication number: 20240008189Abstract: A method and apparatus for multiple flexible circuit cable attachment is described herein. Gold bumps are bonded on interconnection pads of a substrate to create a columnar structure and solder or conductive epoxy is dispensed on the flexible cable circuit. The substrate and flexible cable circuit are aligned and pressed together using force or placement of a weight on either the substrate or flexible cable circuit. Appropriate heat is applied to reflow the solder or cure the epoxy. The solder wets to the substrate pads, assisted by the gold bumps, and have reduced bridging risk due to the columnar structure. A nonconductive underfill epoxy is applied to increase mechanical strength.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 18, 2023Publication date: January 4, 2024Applicant: Jabil Inc.Inventors: Wenlu Wang, Mark A. Tudman, Michael Piring Santos, Ross Kristensen Benz, Hien Ly, Gary Fang
