The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

© 2015 IMAPS Europe. We report on the flip-chip packaging of 90×90 arrays of addressable microLEDs onto CMOS circuitry by a solder reflow process. The substrate emitting microLEDs were parabolically shaped and fabricated on free-standing GaN. The individual emitters were 15 μm in diameter with an array pitch of 80 μm where all bond pads were given a gold finish. The solder balls were dispensed onto the CMOS pads with an automated PacTech solder dispenser that dispensed 50 μm diameter solder spheres with a composition of Sn (96.5%)-Ag-(3%)-Cu (0.5%). After alignment of the LED array on top of the CMOS chip, the solder was reflowed at a temperature of 260 C in nitrogen ambient. The completed assemblies form micro-displays that can display computer generated patterns designed for the stimulation of neural cells. The displays were designed to be mounted on the camera port of a microscope to project the emitted light onto neural tissue.
