A semiconductor processing apparatus includes a process chamber that defines an enclosure. The enclosure includes a substrate support configured to support a substrate and rotate the substrate about a central axis of the process chamber.

This member connection method includes a printing step. In the printing step, a coating film-formed region in which the coating film is formed, and a coating film non-formed region in which the coating film is not formed are formed in the print pattern, and the coating film-formed region is divided into a plurality of concentric regions and a plurality of radial regions by means of a plurality of line-shaped regions provided so as to connect various points, which are separated apart from one another in the marginal part of the connection region.

In a method of manufacturing an electronic device, a solder paste is coated on a substrate pad of a substrate. An electronic product is disposed on the substrate such that a solder on an input/output pad of the electronic product makes contact with the solder paste. A first microwave is generated toward the solder paste during a reflow stage to heat the solder paste. A phase of the first microwave is changed during the reflow stage. Heating of the solder paste causes the solder to reflow, thereby forming a solder bump between the substrate pad and the input/output pad.

A radiative heat collective bonder or gangbonder for packaging a semiconductor die stack is provided. The bonder generally includes a shroud positioned at least partially around the die stack and a radiative heat source positioned inward of the shroud and configured to emit a radiative heat flux in a direction away from the shroud. The bonder may further include a bondhead configured to contact the backside of the topmost die in the die stack and optionally include another bondhead configured to contact a substrate beneath the die stack. The radiative heat source may be configured to direct the radiative heat flux to at least a portion of the die stack to reduce a vertical temperature gradient in the die stack. One or both of the bondheads may be configured to concurrently direct a conductive heat flux into the die stack.

A microelectronic device has a pillar connected to an external terminal by an intermetallic joint. Either the pillar or the external terminal, or both, include copper in direct contact with the intermetallic joint. The intermetallic joint includes at least 90 weight percent of at least one copper-tin intermetallic compound. The intermetallic joint is free of voids having a combined volume greater than 10 percent of a volume of the intermetallic joint; and free of a void having a volume greater than 5 percent of the volume of the intermetallic joint. The microelectronic device may be formed using solder which includes at least 93 weight percent tin, 0.5 weight percent to 5.0 weight percent silver, and 0.4 weight percent to 1.0 weight percent copper, to form a solder joint between the pillar and the external terminal, followed by thermal aging to convert the solder joint to the intermetallic joint.

The disclosure provides a light-emitting device and a displayer. Herein, the light-emitting device includes a substrate, a light-emitting chip, a first light-transmitting layer, a second light-transmitting layer and a nano coating. The light transmittance of the second light-transmitting layer is greater than the light transmittance of the first light-transmitting layer. A reference surface corresponding to the light-emitting chip is arranged above the substrate, and the reference surface is higher than the bottom surface of the light-emitting chip and not higher than the top surface of the light-emitting chip. The first light-transmitting layer covers the surface of the light-emitting chip below the reference surface, and the second light-transmitting layer covers the surface of the light-emitting chip above the reference surface. The nano coating covers the outer surface of the first light-transmitting layer, the outer surface of the second light-transmitting layer and the side surface of the substrate.

A method of using an oven includes supporting a substrate on a rotatable spindle in a processing chamber of the oven and rotating the substrate. The method may also include raising the spindle with the substrate to a heating zone and activating a lamp assembly to heat a top surface of the substrate. The substrate may then be lowered to a dosing zone and a chemical vapor directed into the processing chamber above the substrate. The substrate may then be further heated using the lamp assembly and cooled.

The present disclosure is directed to a compact vertical oven for reflow of solder bumps for backend processes in semiconductor wafer assembly and packaging. This disclosure describes a vertical oven which uses a plurality of wafers (e.g., an example value is 50-100 wafers) in a batch with controlled injection of the reducing agent (e.g. formic acid), resulting in a process largely free of contamination. This disclosure describes controlled formic acid flow through a vertical system using laminar flow technology in a sub-atmospheric pressure environment, which is not currently available in the industry. The efficacy of the process depends on effective formic acid vapor delivery, integrated temperature control during heating and cooling, and careful design of the vapor flow path with exhaust. Zone-dependent reaction dynamics managed by vapor delivery process, two-steps temperature ramp control, and controlled cooling process and formic acid content ensures the effective reaction without any flux.

The disclosure is directed to wide band-gap semiconductor devices, such as power devices based on silicon carbide or gallium nitride materials. A power device die is attached to a carrier substrate or a base using sintered silver as a die attachment material or layer. The carrier substrate is, in some embodiments, copper plated with silver. The sintered silver die attachment layer is formed by sintering silver nanoparticle paste under a very low temperature, for example, lower than 200° C. and in some embodiments at about 150° C., and with no external pressures applied in the sintering process. The silver nanoparticle is synthesized through a chemical reduction process in an organic solvent. After the reduction process has completed, the organic solvent is removed through evaporation with a flux of inert gas being injected into the solution.

A solder reflow oven includes a processing chamber that defines an enclosure.
