A microLED mass transfer stamping system includes a stamp substrate with an array of trap sites, each configured with a columnar-shaped recess to temporarily secure a keel extended from a bottom surface of a microLED. In the case of surface mount microLEDs, the keel is electrically nonconductive. In the case of vertical microLEDs, the keel is an electrically conductive second electrode. The stamping system also includes a fluidic assembly carrier substrate with an array of wells having a pitch separating adjacent wells that matches the pitch separating the stamp substrate trap sites. A display substrate includes an array of microLED pads with the same pitch as the trap sites. The stamp substrate top surface is pressed against the display substrate, with each trap site interfacing a corresponding microLED site, and the microLEDs are transferred. Fluidic assembly stamp substrates are also presented for use with microLEDs having keels or axial leads.

A method for bonding with precision alignment. A first bonding surface is bonded with a second bonding surface, where features on the first and second bonding surfaces are precisely overlaid during the bonding. An etch is then performed on the first and/or second bonding surfaces to create recesses in the first and/or second bonding surfaces. Precision alignment of the first and second bonding surfaces is then enabled by a volatile fluid deployed between the first and second bonding surfaces, where the recesses enable removal of the volatile fluid from a bonding interface during and after the bonding.
