Provided is a technique suitable for multilayering thin semiconductor elements via adhesive bonding while avoiding wafer damage in a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device, the method in which semiconductor elements are multilayered through laminating wafers in which the semiconductor elements are fabricated. The method of the present invention includes bonding and removing. In the bonding step, a back surface 1b side of a thinned wafer 1T in a reinforced wafer 1R having a laminated structure including a supporting substrate S, a temporary adhesive layer 2, and the thinned wafer 1T is bonded via an adhesive to an element forming surface 3a of a wafer 3. A temporary adhesive for forming the temporary adhesive layer 2 contains a polyvalent vinyl ether compound, a compound having two or more hydroxy groups or carboxy groups and thus capable of forming a polymer with the polyvalent vinyl ether compound, and a thermoplastic resin. The adhesive contains a polymerizable group-containing polyorganosilsesquioxane. In the removing step, a temporary adhesion by the temporary adhesive layer 2 between the supporting substrate S and the thinned wafer 1T is released to remove the supporting substrate S.

A method for bonding two superconducting integrated circuits (“chips”), such that the bonds electrically interconnect the chips. A plurality of indium-coated metallic posts may be deposited on each chip. The indium bumps are aligned and compressed with moderate pressure at a temperature at which the indium is deformable but not molten, forming fully superconducting connections between the two chips when the indium is cooled down to the superconducting state. An anti-diffusion layer may be applied below the indium bumps to block reaction with underlying layers. The method is scalable to a large number of small contacts on the wafer scale, and may be used to manufacture a multi-chip module comprising a plurality of chips on a common carrier. Superconducting classical and quantum computers and superconducting sensor arrays may be packaged.

An anisotropic conductive film has a three-layer structure in which a first connection layer is sandwiched between a second connection layer and a third connection layer that each are formed mainly of an insulating resin. The first connection layer has a structure in which conductive particles are arranged in a single layer in the plane direction of an insulating resin layer on a side of the second connection layer, and the thickness of the insulating resin layer in central regions between adjacent ones of the conductive particles is smaller than that of the insulating resin layer in regions in proximity to the conductive particles.

A method of making an assembly can include juxtaposing a top surface of a first electrically conductive element at a first surface of a first substrate with a top surface of a second electrically conductive element at a major surface of a second substrate. One of: the top surface of the first conductive element can be recessed below the first surface, or the top surface of the second conductive element can be recessed below the major surface. Electrically conductive nanoparticles can be disposed between the top surfaces of the first and second conductive elements. The conductive nanoparticles can have long dimensions smaller than 100 nanometers. The method can also include elevating a temperature at least at interfaces of the juxtaposed first and second conductive elements to a joining temperature at which the conductive nanoparticles can cause metallurgical joints to form between the juxtaposed first and second conductive elements.
