Previously no fine-pitched ICs on PET
– Regular solder melting point is too hot for polyester
– Silver epoxy does not wick to closely spaced contacts
– We use PCB but it is not flexible
– We use FPC polyimide but it is expensive
New solution: Low-temp solder on PET
– Screen print silver ink
– Screen print low-temp solder paste
– Pick-and-place components
– Reflow
– Dispense protective encapsulant
– UV cure
