Abstract:
A method of thermal compression bonding conductors of a multiconductor flat electrical component to corresponding bond pads at a bond site of said component, said multiconductor flat electrical component comprising a substantially uniform flat base layer having a plurality of conductors disposed on a surface of said substantially uniform base layer, said substantially uniform base layer fully and continuously supporting and mechanically stabilizing said conductors, and a flat cover, comprising the steps of:providing an opening in said flat cover at said bond site; and laminating said flat cover to said base layer to overlie said plurality of conductors so that said opening exposes said conductors through said flat cover opening at said bond site; aligning said exposed conductors at said flat cover opening with said corresponding bond pads; and thermal compression heating and pressing said aligned conductors into contact with said corresponding bond pads, thereby direct thermal compression bonding said aligned conductors with said corresponding bond pads, said thermal compression heating and pressing step conducted at a temperature sufficient to melt through said base layer and bond said conductors to said bonding pads.
