The method for repairing a light-emitting device including the following steps is provided: removing the at least one damaged light-emitting unit from the circuit substrate to form an unoccupied position on the circuit substrate; providing a good light-emitting unit on a bottom of which a volatile adhesive material has been applied; using a pick and place module to place the good light-emitting unit at the unoccupied position on the circuit substrate; and melting and solidifying the volatile adhesive material so that the good light-emitting unit is affixed at the unoccupied position.

Embodiments herein relate to systems, apparatuses, or processes directed to an interconnect joint that includes multiple core balls within a solder compound where the multiple core balls are substantially linearly aligned. The multiple core balls, which may include copper or be a polymer, couple with each other within the solder and form a substantially linear alignment during reflow. In embodiments, four or more core balls may be used to achieve a high aspect ratio interconnect joint with a tight pitch.

An integrated circuit device may include a multi-material toothed bond pad including (a) an array of vertically-extending teeth formed from a first material, e.g., aluminum, and (b) a fill material, e.g., silver, at least partially filling voids between the array of teeth. The teeth may be formed by depositing and etching aluminum or other suitable material, and the fill material may be deposited over the array of teeth and extending down into the voids between the teeth, and etched to expose top surfaces of the teeth. The array of teeth may collectively define an abrasive structure. The multi-material toothed bond pad may be bonded to another bond pad, e.g., using an ultrasonic or thermosonic bonding process, during which the abrasive teeth may abrade, break, or remove unwanted native oxide layers formed on the respective bond pad surfaces, to thereby create a direct and/or eutectic bonding between the bond pads.

A method of fabricating a semiconductor device with improved quality and an encapsulant are provided. The method may include coating a chip wafer including a plurality of semiconductor chips with an encapsulant, performing a pre-curing process to bring the encapsulant into a B-stage, dicing the chip wafer to divide the chip wafer into a plurality of semiconductor chips, forming a chip stack by stacking the semiconductor chip on the base wafer in such a way that a coupling electrode on the base wafer and a bump electrode of each of the semiconductor chips face each other with a conductive adhesive element interposed therebetween, performing a reflow process on the chip stack under pressurized gas to bond the coupling electrode and the bump electrode to each other with the conductive adhesive element interposed therebetween, and performing a post-curing process on the chip stack under pressurized gas to bring the encapsulant into a C-stage.

RFID inlays or straps may be assembled using impulse heating of metal precursors. Metal precursors are applied to and/or included in contacts on an RFID IC and/or terminals on a substrate. During assembly of the tag, the IC is disposed onto the substrate such that the IC contacts physically contact either the substrate terminals or metal precursors that in turn physically contact the substrate terminals. Impulse heating is then used to rapidly apply heat to the metal precursors, processing them into metallic structures that electrically couple the IC contacts to the substrate terminals.
