The present disclosure further provides a method for fabricating the electronic package structure. | 2018-03-01 |
20180063967 | Interconnections Formed with Conductive Traces Applied onto Substrates Having Low Softening Temperatures - A method of connecting a wire to a conductive trace formed on a substrate having a predetermined softening point and the functional layered composite formed therefrom. The method comprises applying a conductive ink onto the substrate; curing, drying, or sintering the conductive ink to form the conductive trace with at least one connection pad; applying an activated rosin-type flux and solder to the connection pad and to one end of a metallic wire; placing the end of the wire in contact with the connection pad; applying a source of heat to the wire; melting the solder material to form an interconnection between the wire and the connection pad; removing the source of heat; and allowing the interconnection to cool before moving the wire. The melting point of the solder is either below the softening point of the substrate or above the softening point by about 20° C. or less. | 2018-03-01 |
