A method of making a secure integrated-circuit system comprises providing a first integrated circuit in a first die having a first die size and providing a second integrated circuit in a second die. The second die size is smaller than the first die size. The second die is transfer printed onto the first die and connected to the first integrated circuit, forming a compound die. The compound die is packaged. The second integrated circuit is operable to monitor the operation of the first integrated circuit and provides a monitor signal responsive to the operation of the first integrated circuit. The first integrated circuit can be constructed in an insecure facility and the second integrated circuit can be constructed in a secure facility.

A display device includes a substrate including a conductive pad, a driving chip facing the substrate and including a conductive bump electrically connected to the conductive pad and an inspection bump which is insulated from the conductive pad, and an adhesive member which is between the conductive pad and the driving chip and connects the conductive pad to the driving chip. The adhesive member includes a first adhesive layer including a conductive ball; and a second adhesive layer facing the first adhesive layer, the second adhesive layer including a first area including a color-changing material, and a second area adjacent to the first area and excluding the color-changing material.

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.

An electrically non-conducting film (109) comprising an oligomer comprising an arylene or heteroarylene repeating unit is disposed between a chip (105), e.g. a flip-chip, and a functional layer (101), e.g. a printed circuit board, electrically connected to the chip by electrically conducting interconnects (107). The oligomer may be crosslinked.
