A method for forming a contact connection between a chip-and a conductor material formed on a non-conductive substrate, the chip being arranged on the substrate or on another conductor material track, a sinter paste consisting of at least 40% silver or copper being applied to respective chip contact surfaces of the chip and the conductor material track, a contact conductor being immersed in the sinter paste on the chip contact surface and in the sinter paste on the conductor material track, and the contact connection being formed by sintering the sinter paste by means of laser energy.

A light-emitting diode (LED) array is formed by bonding an LED chip or wafer to a backplane substrate via curved interconnects. The backplane substrate may include circuits for driving the LED's. One or more curved interconnects are formed on the backplane substrate. A curved interconnect may be electrically connected to a corresponding circuit of the backplane substrate, and may include at least a portion with curvature. The LED chip or wafer may include one or more LED devices. Each LED device may have one or more electrical contacts. The LED chip or wafer is positioned above the backplane substrate to spatially align electrical contacts of the LED devices with the curved interconnects on the backplane substrate. The electrical contacts are bonded to the curved interconnects to electrically connect the LED devices to corresponding circuits of the backplane substrate.

The invention relates to a bonding arrangement comprising a bonding tool including a tool shank, which is designed as elongated in a tool longitudinal direction, and including a tool tip, which adjoins the tool shank, and comprising a light guide designed to conduct a laser beam, the light guide being provided in a longitudinal recess of the bonding tool, the longitudinal recess extending from an end face of the bonding tool opposite the tool tip in the direction of the tool tip, a functional recess being formed on the lateral surface of the bonding tool, and the longitudinal recess being made to extend up to the functional recess.

Various embodiments of a die carrier package and a method of forming such package are disclosed. The package includes one or more dies disposed within a cavity of a carrier substrate, where a first die contact of one or more of the dies is electrically connected to a first die pad disposed on a recessed surface of the cavity, and a second die contact of one or more of the dies is electrically connected to a second die pad also disposed on the recessed surface. The first and second die pads are electrically connected to first and second package contacts respectively. The first and second package contacts are disposed on a first major surface of the carrier substrate adjacent the cavity.

A power semiconductor module includes a substrate with a metallization layer and a power semiconductor chip bonded to the metallization layer of the substrate. A metallic plate has a first surface bonded to a surface of the power semiconductor chip opposite to the substrate. The metallic plate has a central part and a border that are both bonded to the power semiconductor chip. The border of the metallic plate is structured in such a way that the metallic plate has less metal material per volume at the border as compared to the central part of the metallic plate. Metallic interconnection elements are bonded to a second surface of the metallic plate at the central part.

A printed circuit board is disclosed. The printed circuit board includes: a substrate layer; a copper layer disposed on the substrate layer; and an organic solderability preservative (OSP) layer disposed on the copper layer. The OSP layer defines one or more laser treated OSP surfaces.

A method and a device for establishing a wire connection between a first contact surface and at least one further contact surface. A contact end of a wire is positioned in a contact position relative to the first contact surface with a wire guiding tool. Subsequently, a mechanical, electrically conductive connection is established between the first contact surface and the contact end with a first solder material connection, and subsequently the wire guiding tool is moved to the further contact surface thus forming a wire section and establishing a further mechanical, electrically conductive connection between the wire section end and the further contact surface with a further solder material connection.

Systems and methods for creating interlayer mechanical or electrical attachments or connections using filaments within a three-dimensional structure, structural component, or structural electronic, electromagnetic, or electromechanical component/device.
