A semiconductor package includes a semiconductor chip including a chip pad on a first surface thereof, an external pad electrically connected to the chip pad of the semiconductor chip, an external connection terminal covering the external pad, and an intermediate layer between the external pad and the external connection terminal, the intermediate layer including a third metal material that is different from a first metal material included in the external pad and a second metal material included in the external connection terminal.

Disclosed is a method for transient liquid-phase bonding between metal materials using a magnetic force. In particular, in the method, a magnetic force is applied to a transient liquid-phase bonding process, thereby shortening a transient liquid-phase bonding time between the metal materials, and obtaining high bonding strength. To this end, an attractive magnetic force is applied to a ferromagnetic base while a repulsive magnetic force is applied to a diamagnetic base, thereby to accelerate diffusion. This may reduce a bonding time during a transient liquid-phase bonding process between two bases and suppress formation of Kirkendall voids and voids and suppress a layered structure of an intermetallic compound, thereby to increase a bonding strength.

The present disclosure provides a method of creating a bond between a first object and a second object. For example, creating a joint or die attach between a semiconductor chip and an electronic substrate, especially for harsh and high temperature environments. The method may include a step of filling a space between the first object and the second object with a filler material. Further, the method may include a step of heating the filler material to facilitate formation of a plurality of inter-diffusion layers.
