Abstract
Anisotropic self-alignment of the noncircular pads is investigated to reduce the misalignment in electronic packaging, and the effects of the direction and length ratio of the noncircular pads are analyzed. The restoring forces of circular and noncircular pads are calculated numerically using the surface evolver and are compared with the experimental data. The restoring force in the minor-axis direction of the noncircular pad becomes largest followed by the circular pad and the major-axis direction of the noncircular pad. Directionality increases with the length ratio, which implies that more accurate alignment can be achieved in the specific direction.
