Various teachings of the present disclosure include a method for welding an attachment piece to a semiconductor metallization using laser welding. The method may include: arranging an attachment piece having a flat side with a thin point so the flat side faces the semiconductor metallization; and welding the flat side to the semiconductor metallization. The flat side rests against a flat side of the semiconductor metallization over an entire surface area of the flat side. The thin point is formed with a cup shape of the attachment piece. The cup shape is open in the direction away from the semiconductor metallization.

A soldering system that determines soldering quality of elements relative to a housing at the moment of soldering semiconductor laser elements. A soldering device that performs soldering of a semiconductor laser element to a semiconductor laser module, a robot that conveys the module, a camera, and a control device that controls the robot and camera based on imaging output of the camera. The robot conveys the module and changes the position and posture of the camera. The camera images the module. The control device calculates the position of the semiconductor laser element based on the imaging output, calculates parallelism between the housing of the module and the semiconductor laser element based on the change in light intensity related to the imaging output when changing the relative position between the camera and the subject, and determines the quality of soldering of the semiconductor laser element based on the position and parallelism.

The present invention relates to a reel-to-reel layer reflow method, which emits a uniformized laser beam, which can easily adjust the emission area, and which is for the purpose of improving productivity. An embodiment of the present invention provides a reel-to-reel layer reflow method comprising the steps of: a) transferring a substrate, which has been wound in a roll type, to one side while unwinding the same; b) forming a solder portion on the substrate; c) seating an emission target element on the solder portion and seating a non-emission target element on the substrate; d) surface-emitting a laser beam to the solder portion, on which the emission target element is seated, such that the emission target element is attached to the substrate; e) inspecting the substrate structure manufactured through said step d); and f) winding the substrate structure in a roll type.

The invention is directed towards enhanced systems and methods for employing a pulsed photon (or EM energy) source, such as but not limited to a laser, to electrically couple, bond, and/or affix the electrical contacts of a semiconductor device to the electrical contacts of another semiconductor devices. Full or partial rows of LEDs are electrically coupled, bonded, and/or affixed to a backplane of a display device. The LEDs may be μLEDs. The pulsed photon source is employed to irradiate the LEDs with scanning photon pulses. The EM radiation is absorbed by either the surfaces, bulk, substrate, the electrical contacts of the LED, and/or electrical contacts of the backplane to generate thermal energy that induces the bonding between the electrical contacts of the LEDs' electrical contacts and backplane's electrical contacts. The temporal and spatial profiles of the photon pulses, as well as a pulsing frequency and a scanning frequency of the photon source, are selected to control for adverse thermal effects.

Exemplified microscale selective laser sintering (μ-SLS or micro-SLS) systems and methods facilitate modeling of the nanoparticle powder bed by simulating the interactions between particles during the powder spreading operation. In particular, the exemplified methods and system use multiscale modeling techniques to accurately predict the formation and mechanical/electrical properties of parts produced by selective laser sintering of powder beds. Discrete element modeling is used for nanoscale particle interactions by implementing the different forces dominant at nanoscale. A heat transfer analysis is used to predict the sintering of individual particles in the powder beds in order to build up a complete structural model of the parts that are being produced by the SLS process.

Disclosed is a die-bonding method which provides a target substrate having a circuit structure with multiple electrical contacts and multiple semiconductor elements each semiconductor element having a pair of electrodes, arranges the multiple semiconductor elements on the target substrate with the pair of electrodes of each semiconductor element aligned with two corresponding electrical contacts of the target substrate, and applies at least one energy beam to join and electrically connect the at least one pair of electrodes of every at least one of the multiple semiconductor elements and the corresponding electrical contacts aligned therewith in a heating cycle by heat carried by the at least one energy beam in the heating cycle. The die-bonding method delivers scattering heated dots over the target substrate to avoid warpage of PCB and ensures high bonding strength between the semiconductor elements and the circuit structure of the target substrate.

Selective transfer of dies including semiconductor devices to a target substrate can be performed employing local laser irradiation. Coining of at least one set of solder material portions can be employed to provide a planar surface-to-surface contact and to facilitate bonding of adjoining pairs of bond structures. Laser irradiation on the solder material portions can be employed to sequentially bond selected pairs of mated bonding structures, while preventing bonding of devices not to be transferred to the target substrate. Additional laser irradiation can be employed to selectively detach bonded devices, while not detaching devices that are not bonded to the target substrate. The transferred devices can be pressed against the target substrate during a second reflow process so that the top surfaces of the transferred devices can be coplanar. Wetting layers of different sizes can be employed to provide a trapezoidal vertical cross-sectional profile for reflowed solder material portions.
