The high-temperature performance of electronics packages was studied at 180°C, 200°C and 240°C for 3,000h. The structure tested consisted of a fairly large silicon chip attached with anisotropic conductive adhesive (ACA) onto an adhesiveless PI substrate. These structures showed good electrical reliability at 180°C. Several early failures were seen at the other temperatures. However, only 23% of the test samples failed at 200°C, while considerably more failures were seen at 240°C. The results showed that good high-temperature reliability can be achieved with polymer interconnections. However, the exposure time should be limited, especially at very high temperatures, to avoid failures caused by the materials becoming brittle.
