Resin Self-Alignment Processes for Self-Assembly Systems

Abstract

We have demonstrated the self-alignment processes using surface tension of the resin material for the self-assembly systems. It has been known that the surface tension of the resin material is too low to achieve the self-alignment capability. This paper presents a fundamental concept and principles of resin self-alignment processes. The numerical analysis is conducted to enhance understandings of resin self-alignment behavior and the relationship between process-related parameters. It was proved that resin self-alignment is different from the oscillatory motion of solder self-alignment and shows overdamped motion by the experiment. We could achieve the precise alignment of less than 0.4 μm.
