A curable resin or adhesive composition includes at least one monomer, a photoinitiator capable of initiating polymerization of the monomer when exposed to light, and at least one energy converting material, preferably a phosphor, capable of producing light when exposed to radiation (typically X-rays). The material is particularly suitable for bonding components at ambient temperature in situations where the bond joint is not accessible to an external light source. An associated method includes: placing a polymerizable adhesive composition, including a photoinitiator and energy converting material, such as a down-converting phosphor, in contact with at least two components to be bonded to form an assembly; and, irradiating the assembly with radiation at a first wavelength, capable of conversion (down-conversion by the phosphor) to a second wavelength capable of activating the photoinitiator, to prepare items such as inkjet cartridges, wafer-to-wafer assemblies, semiconductors, integrated circuits, and the like.

A member for semiconductor device includes a metal portion configured to be bonded to another member by solder, and a treated coating covering a surface of the metal portion, the treated coating including a treatment agent. The treated coating vaporizes at a temperature lower than or equal to a solidus temperature of the solder.

There is provided a method for producing a member for semiconductor device which can reduce generation of a large number of voids in a solder-bonded portion without increasing production cost. The method includes the step of preparing a first member including a metal portion capable of being bonded by solder and the step of coating the surface of the metal portion of the first member with a treatment agent to form a treated coating which vaporizes at a temperature lower than or equal to the solidus temperature of the solder.

Methods for die attachment of multichip and single components including flip chips may involve printing a sintering paste on a substrate or on the back side of a die. Printing may involve stencil printing, screen printing, or a dispensing process. Paste may be printed on the back side of an entire wafer prior to dicing, or on the back side of an individual die. Sintering films may also be fabricated and transferred to a wafer, die or substrate. A post-sintering step may increase throughput.
