An apparatus for bonding flexible printed wires to non-flexible printed wires is provided. The apparatus incudes a heater; and a heating tool heated by the heater and formed to have a heating chip. The heating chip has a height direction and a heating surface directed in the height direction. The heating surface is moved toward the flexible wires to press the flexible wires formed on the non-flexible printed wires. A solder portion is mounted on, at least, ones of the flexible printed wires and the non-flexible printed wires, the heating tool melting the solder portion for a mutual connection between the flexible and non-flexible printed wires when the heating surface of the heating tool is pressed onto the flexible printed wires. The pressing surface is formed as a curved surface having a central part which protrudes outward more than other parts thereof.

A joining method for joining a first member and a second member is provided. The joining method includes a step of providing a first brazing layer on the first member by plating, a step of providing a second brazing layer on the first brazing layer by plating, a step of arranging the first member and the second member to oppose each other across the first brazing layer and the second brazing layer, and a step of melting the first brazing layer and the second brazing layer to join the first member and the second member which are arranged to oppose each other.

A reflow soldering apparatus, system, and method. The reflow soldering system may include a housing that is alterable between an open state and a closed state, the open state being used for loading and unloading of substrates and the closed state being used during operation. The system may also include a heating assembly located within the chamber and a cooling assembly that is spaced apart from the heating assembly. A support member may be included to support a substrate within the chamber. A first actuator unit may be operably coupled to either the heating and cooling assemblies jointly, or to the support member. Additionally, the system may include a control unit coupled to the first actuator unit to cause relative movement between the substrate and the heating and cooling assemblies. Thus, the substrate can move between the heating and cooling assemblies during the various stages of the reflow soldering process.

A device for soldering, in particular for reflow soldering, of at least one assembly, having a process chamber arrangement, comprises at least two process chambers for preparing a soldering method and/or for carrying out a soldering method and/or for post-processing a soldering method, wherein the at least two process chambers are arranged above one another, in particular in a stack-like manner.

Disclosed herein is a method that includes picking up a plate with a nozzle, the plate including at least one opening to allow air to flow therethrough. The method includes picking up a die with the nozzle such that the plate is located between the nozzle and the die. The method includes placing the die and the plate onto a device, substrate or another die such that the plate is located on top of the die. The method includes heating the device, substrate or another die and the die in a heat chamber while the plate remains on top of the die to permanently attach the die to the device, substrate or another die. Further disclosed herein is an assembly system configured to perform a method that utilizes the plate and die combination for attaching the die to a device, substrate or another die by heating.
