  • To replace conventional assembly techniques with a more efficient and integrated approach.
  • To demonstrate the advantages of the proposed stacking method in terms of simplicity, strength, and size.

Main Methods:

  • The study proposes a new stacking method that replaces vertical spacers and supporting platforms with 2-D wire bonding.
  • Application of an anti-overflow design utilizing capillary action to manage adhesive fluid during assembly.
  • Integration of Application-Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) chips as functional spacers for enhanced system integration.

Main Results:

  • The proposed stacking method simplifies the assembly process, eliminating the need for supporting platforms and vertical spacers.
  • Assembly time for a 4x4 3-D microprobe array averages 35 minutes without specialized tools.
  • The method achieves high structural strength, a smaller opening area, and enables integration with active circuits.
  • ASIC chips can be incorporated as spacers, improving system integration and volume efficiency.

Conclusions:

  • The developed stacking technique offers a simplified, robust, and efficient alternative for 3-D microprobe array fabrication.
