Flexible micro-system and fabrication method thereof

Abstract

A fabrication method for integrating chip(s) onto a flexible substrate in forming a flexible micro-system. The method includes a low-temperature flip-chip and a wafer-level fabrication process. Using the low-temperature flip-chip technique, the chip is bonded metallically onto the flexible substrate. To separate the flexible substrate from the substrate, etching is used to remove the sacrificial layer underneath the flexible substrate. The instant disclosure applies standardized micro-fabrication process for integrating chip(s) onto the flexible substrate. Without using special materials or fabrication procedures, the instant disclosure offers a cost-effective fabrication method for flexible micro-systems.
