POLYMER FLIP-CHIP BONDING OF PRESSURE SENSORS ON FLEXIBLE KAPATON FILM FOR NEONATAL CATHETERS

Abstract Details

2004, MS, University of Cincinnati, Engineering : Electrical Engineering.
The object of this thesis is to develop a new packaging method to mount silicon micro pressure sensors into 1.67 mm diameter neonatal catheters to measure blood pressure. A new polymer flip-chip bonding method on a flexible Kapton film has been developed and applied to dual lumen neonatal catheters integrated with silicon micro pressure sensors. Flip chip bonding technique has inherent advantages of miniaturization, improved reliability and cost reduction. This polymer flip-chip bonding technique requires a low temperature process and improved tolerance of thermal stress which are very desirable for mounting micro sensors or micro actuators on lower-cost flexible polymer substrates for medical applications. The silicon micro pressure sensors, which are mounted on a flexible Kapton film with metal lines for neonatal catheter, have been fully characterized in both gas and liquid environments, indicating that the packaging was satisfactory rugged for catheter use.
