I strongly suspect that they mean to use thermocompressively activated
conductive glue and flatcable. Thermocompression boding is what the lead wires
in some ICs use to bond to the chip and to pads. The tc glue is an industrial
specialty product that is nearly unobtainable outside countries that still make
stuff (like cell phones and calculators where the lcd's are bonded like this).
You will also need a jig, stencils and a machine with temperature, pressure and
dwell time control. If this is a one off protoype bond individual gold or pure
Cu wires with conductive epoxy under a microscope, and use it while it lasts. I
did this with a 90+ pin custom lcd. Fun :)
