A bonding head for performing a thermal compression process including a base body. A bonding heater is disposed on the base body that generates a melting heat. A bonding tool is disposed on the bonding heater that compresses a bonding object against a bonding base while transferring the melting heat to the bonding object to thereby bond the bonding object to the bonding base by the thermal compression process. A heat controller is disposed at the bonding tool, and a thermal conductivity of the heat controller is less than a thermal conductivity of the bonding tool.

A uniform pressure gang bonding device and fabrication method are presented using an expandable upper chamber with an elastic surface. Typically, the elastic surface is an elastomer material having a Young's modulus in a range of 40 to 1000 kilo-Pascal (kPA). After depositing a plurality of components overlying a substrate top surface, the substrate is positioned over the lower plate, with the top surface underlying and adjacent (in close proximity) to the elastic surface. The method creates a positive upper chamber medium pressure differential in the expandable upper chamber, causing the elastic surface to deform. For example, the positive upper chamber medium pressure differential may be in the range of 0.05 atmospheres (atm) and 10 atm. Typically, the elastic surface deforms between 0.5 millimeters (mm) and 20 mm, in response to the positive upper chamber medium pressure differential.
