A process for manufacturing a surface-mount electronic device includes forming a plurality of preliminary contact regions of a sinterable material on a supporting structure, the supporting structure being of a soluble type. A chip including a semiconductor body is mechanically coupled to the supporting structure. The sinterable material is sintered such that each preliminary contact region forms a corresponding sintered preliminary contact, and the chip and the plurality of preliminary contact regions are coated with a dielectric coating region, and the supporting structure is removed using a jet of liquid.

A method of bonding a die comprising solder bumps to a substrate comprising bond pads, the method comprising the steps of heating the die from a first temperature to a second temperature, wherein the first temperature is below the melting point of the solder bumps, and the second temperature is above the melting point of the solder bumps; moving the die relative to the substrate to a first height, whereat the solder bumps contact the bond pads; moving the die further away from the substrate to a second height, while maintaining contact between the solder bumps and bond pads; and thereafter cooling the die from the second temperature to a third temperature to allow the solder bumps to solidify so as to bond the die to the substrate.

Methods of transferring micro-array LEDs of various colors onto a surface of a display substrate are provided. The transferring includes releasing micro-LEDs of a specific color from a structure that includes a releasable material onto a display substrate. The releasable material may be a laser ablatable material or a material that is readily dissolved in a specific etchant.

According to this disclosure, a method of manufacturing an electronic device is provided, which includes exposing a top surface of a first electrode of a first electronic component to organic acid, irradiating the top surface of the first electrode exposed to the organic acid with ultraviolet light, and bonding the first electrode and a second electrode of a second electronic component by heating and pressing the first electrode and the second electrode each other.

A fluxless bonding process is provided. An array of micro solder bumps of a first semiconductor structure is aligned to an array of bonding pads of a second semiconductor structure under an applied bonding force. An environment is provided to prevent oxides from forming on the solder bump structures and bonding pads during the bonding process. A scrubbing process is performed at a given scrubbing frequency and amplitude to scrub the micro solder bumps against the bonding pads in a direction perpendicular to the bonding. Heat is applied to at least the first semiconductor structure to melt and bond the micro solder bumps to the bonding pads. The first semiconductor structure is cooled down to solidify the molten solder. Coplanarity is maintained between the bonding surfaces of the semiconductor structures within a given tolerance during the scrubbing and cooling steps until solidification of the micro solder bumps.

A sintering powder comprising: a first type of metal particles having a mean longest dimension of from 100 nm to 50 m.

A microelectronic assembly includes a first substrate having a surface and a first conductive element and a second substrate having a surface and a second conductive element. The assembly further includes an electrically conductive alloy mass joined to the first and second conductive elements. First and second materials of the alloy mass each have a melting point lower than a melting point of the alloy. A concentration of the first material varies in concentration from a relatively higher amount at a location disposed toward the first conductive element to a relatively lower amount toward the second conductive element, and a concentration of the second material varies in concentration from a relatively higher amount at a location disposed toward the second conductive element to a relatively lower amount toward the first conductive element.

An electronic component module formed with the use of a copper particle paste which can ensure that even the inner part of a joint material is sintered, where copper particles are excellent in oxidation resistance, and a joint part is provided with high joint reliability; and a method for manufacturing the module.

An electronic apparatus includes a first electronic part with a first terminal, a second electronic part with a second terminal opposite the first terminal, and a joining portion which joins the first terminal and the second terminal. The joining portion contains a pole-like compound extending in a direction in which the first terminal and the second terminal are opposite to each other. The joining portion contains the pole-like compound, so the strength of the joining portion is improved. When the first terminal and the second terminal are joined, the temperature of one of the first electronic part and the second electronic part is made higher than that of the other. A joining material is cooled and solidified in this state. By doing so, the pole-like compound is formed.
