Implementations of a semiconductor package may include a die; a first pad and a second pad, the first pad and the second pad each including a first layer and a second layer where the second layer may be thicker than the first layer. At least a first conductor may be directly coupled to the second layer of the first pad; at least a second conductor may be directly coupled to the second layer of the second pad; and an organic material may cover at least the first side of the die. The at least first conductor and the at least second conductor extend through openings in the organic material where a spacing between the at least first conductor and the at least second conductor may be wider than a spacing between the second layer of the first pad and the second layer of the second pad.

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.
