PRESSURE-ACTIVATED ELECTRICAL INTERCONNECTION BY MICRO-TRANSFER PRINTING
First Claim
1. A printed electrical connection structure, comprising:
- a substrate having one or more electrical connection pads;
a printed component having one or more connection posts, each connection post in electrical contact with a connection pad; and
a resin disposed between and in contact with the substrate and the printed component, the resin having a reflow temperature less than a cure temperature, wherein the resin repeatedly flows at the reflow temperature when temperature cycled between an operating temperature and the reflow temperature but does not flow after the resin is exposed to the cure temperature.

Abstract
A printed electrical connection structure includes a substrate having one or more electrical connection pads and a micro-transfer printed component having one or more connection posts. Each connection post is in electrical contact with a connection pad. A resin is disposed between and in contact with the substrate and the component. The resin has a reflow temperature less than a cure temperature. The resin repeatedly flows at the reflow temperature when temperature-cycled between an operating temperature and the reflow temperature but does not flow after the resin is exposed to a cure temperature. A solder can be disposed on the connection post or the connection pad. After printing and reflow, the component can be tested and, if the component fails, another component is micro-transfer printed to the substrate, the resin is reflowed again, the other component is tested and, if it passes the test, the resin is finally cured.
