A magnetic polymer for use in microelectronic fabrication includes a polymer matrix and a plurality of ferromagnetic particles disposed in the polymer matrix. The magnetic polymer can be part of an insulation layer in an inductor formed in one or more backend wiring layers of an integrated device. The magnetic polymer can also be in the form of a magnetic epoxy layer for mounting contacts of the integrated device to a package substrate.

Described herein are printable structures and methods for making, assembling and arranging electronic devices. A number of the methods described herein are useful for assembling electronic devices where one or more device components are embedded in a polymer which is patterned during the embedding process with trenches for electrical interconnects between device components. Some methods described herein are useful for assembling electronic devices by printing methods, such as by dry transfer contact printing methods. Also described herein are GaN light emitting diodes and methods for making and arranging GaN light emitting diodes, for example for display or lighting systems.

The subject matter of the present description relates to methods for the precise integration of microelectronic dice within a multichip package which substantially reduce or eliminate any misalign caused by the movement of the microelectronic dice during the integration process. These methods may include the use of a temporary adhesive in conjunction with a carrier having at least one recess for microelectronic die alignment, the use of a precision molded carrier for microelectronic die alignment, the use of magnetic alignment of microelectronic dice on a reusable carrier, and/or the use of a temporary adhesive with molding processes on a reusable carrier.

In order to easily inspect a dispersion state of conductive particles in such an anisotropic conductive film that the conductive particles are dispersed even at high density, linear lines including no conductive particle in a plan view of an anisotropic conductive film including an insulating adhesive layer and conductive particles dispersed in the insulating adhesive layer are allowed to exist at predetermined intervals. Specifically, the conductive particles are disposed in a lattice so as to be arranged in a first arrangement direction and a second arrangement direction, and the disappearance lines are inclined relative to the first arrangement direction or the second arrangement direction.

A method for bonding of a first, at least partially metallic contact surface of a first substrate to a second, at least partially metallic contact surface of a second substrate, with the following steps, especially the following progression: application of a sacrificial layer which is at least partially, especially predominantly soluble in the material of at least one of the contact surfaces to at least one of the contact surfaces, bonding of the contact surfaces with at least partial solution of the sacrificial layer in at least one of the contact surfaces.

An apparatus and a method for chip-to-wafer integration is provided. The apparatus includes a coating module, a bonding module and a cleaning module. The method includes the steps of placing at least one chip on a wafer to form an integrated product, forming a film on the integrated product, such that the integrated product is substantially fluid-tight, and exerting a predetermined positive pressure on the film during permanent bonding of the at least one chip to the wafer. The method further includes the step of removing the film from the integrated product after permanent bonding of the at least one chip to the wafer.

A method includes determining a first offset between a first alignment mark on a first side of a first wafer and a second alignment mark on a second side of the first wafer; aligning the first alignment mark of the first wafer to a third alignment mark on a first side of a second wafer, which includes detecting a location of the second alignment mark of the first wafer; determining a location of the first alignment mark of the first wafer based on the first offset and the location of the second alignment mark of the first wafer; and, based on the determined location of the first alignment mark, repositioning the first wafer to align the first alignment mark to the third alignment mark; and bonding the first side of the first wafer to the first side of the second wafer to form a bonded structure.
