Disclosed is a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device which includes: a semiconductor chip; a substrate and/or another semiconductor chip; and an adhesive layer interposed therebetween. This method comprises the steps of: heating and pressuring a laminate having: the semiconductor chip; the substrate; the another semiconductor chip or a semiconductor wafer; and the adhesive layer by interposing the laminate with pressing members for temporary press-bonding to thereby temporarily press-bond the substrate and the another semiconductor chip or the semiconductor wafer to the semiconductor chip; and heating and pressuring the laminate by interposing the laminate with pressing members for main press-bonding, which are separately prepared from the pressing members for temporary press-bonding, to thereby electrically connect a connection portion of the semiconductor chip and a connection portion of the substrate or the another semiconductor chip.

A semiconductor device includes a semiconductor substrate, a conductive pad over the semiconductor substrate, a conductor over the conductive pad, a polymeric material over the semiconductor substrate and surrounding the conductor, and a seed layer between the polymeric material and the conductor. A top surface of the conductor, a top surface of the polymeric material and a top surface of the seed layer are substantially coplanar.

The mechanisms of forming a copper post structures described enable formation of copper post structures on a flat conductive surface. In addition, the copper post structures are supported by a molding layer with a Young's modulus (or a harder material) higher than polyimide. The copper post structures formed greatly reduce the risk of cracking of passivation layer and delamination of at the dielectric interface surrounding the copper post structures.

A method of making a micro-transfer printed structure includes providing a destination substrate and a source substrate having one or more micro-transfer printable components. A layer of volatile adhesive is formed over the destination substrate and one or more components are micro-transfer printed from the source substrate onto the volatile adhesive layer at a non-evaporable temperature of the volatile adhesive layer. The volatile adhesive layer is then heated to an evaporation temperature to evaporate at least a portion of the volatile adhesive after micro-transfer printing. In certain embodiments, a micro-transfer printed structure includes a destination substrate having one or more metal contacts and one or more micro-transfer printable components having one or more component contacts disposed on the destination substrate with the metal contact aligned with the component contact. The metal contact can form an intermetallic bond with the component contact.
