A method and system for heat bonding a chip to a substrate by means of heat bonding material disposed there between. At least the substrate is preheated from an initial temperature to an elevated temperature below a damage temperature of the substrate. A light pulse applied to the chip momentarily increases the chip temperature to a pulsed peak temperature below a peak damage temperature of the chip. The momentarily increased pulsed peak temperature of the chip causes a flow of conducted heat from the chip to the bonding material, causing the bonding material to form a bond.

A fixation apparatus includes a base, a wire fixing device mounted on the base, and a pressing device mounted on the base. The wire fixing device positions and fixes a wire on a circuit board and includes a fixing frame mounted on the base and a moving unit received in a receiving chamber of the fixing frame. The fixing frame has a first positioning groove. The moving unit is movable between a clamping position and a release position and has a second positioning groove coupled with the first positioning groove. The wire is inserted into a wire insertion hole in the circuit board between the first positioning groove and the second positioning groove when the mobile unit is moved to the release position. The wire is clamped and fixed between the first positioning groove and the second positioning groove when the moving unit is moved to the clamping position.

This disclosure teaches methods for making high-temperature superconducting striated tape combinations and the product high-temperature superconducting striated tape combinations. This disclosure describes an efficient and scalable method for aligning and bonding two superimposed high-temperature superconducting (HTS) filamentary tapes to form a single integrated tape structure. This invention aligns a bottom and top HTS tape with a thin intervening insulator layer with microscopic precision, and electrically connects the two sets of tape filaments with each other. The insulating layer also reinforces adhesion of the top and bottom tapes, mitigating mechanical stress at the electrical connections. The ability of this method to precisely align separate tapes to form a single tape structure makes it compatible with a reel-to-reel production process.

The welding tool has a plurality of tooth-shaped welding heads arranged in a row, ends of the plurality of tooth-shaped welding heads are disposed close to the joints of the plurality of cables and configured to simultaneously heat the plurality of welding wires guided to the joints of the plurality of cables, so as to simultaneously weld the joints of the plurality of cables onto a circuit board.

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.

According to an embodiment, a temperature of an inside of a furnace is set to fall within a range of a reduction temperature or more of a carboxylic acid and less than a melting temperature of a solder bump, and the inside is concurrently set to have a first carboxylic acid gas concentration. Thereafter, the temperature of the inside is raised up to the melting temperature, and the inside is concurrently set to have a second carboxylic acid gas concentration. The second carboxylic acid gas concentration is lower than the first carboxylic acid gas concentration, and is a concentration containing a minimum amount of carboxylic acid gas defined to achieve reduction on an oxide film of the solder bump. The inside has the second carboxylic acid gas concentration at least at a time when the temperature of the inside reaches the melting temperature.

A method to set up the parameters of solder paste screen printer while in a new product introduction (NPI). The method includes establishing a solder-printing database of a predetermined product and a database of different specifications of products, and training a first prediction model by reference to a solder paste screen printer (SPSP) and a solder paste inspection (SPI) based on the solder-printing database. A second prediction model is trained by reference to the SPI based on the database of different products. The method further includes predicting parameters for products with different specifications under multiple sets of printing parameters based on the first and second prediction models. An objective function based on the predicted measurements is established, and a specification of a product and a printing expectation parameters are input to the objective function for outputting many sets of printing-suggestion parameters of the new product.

This copper/ceramic bonded body includes: a copper member made of copper or a copper alloy; and a ceramic member made of nitrogen-containing ceramics, the copper member and the ceramic member are bonded to each other, in which, between the copper member and the ceramic member, an active metal nitride layer containing nitrides of one or more active metals selected from Ti, Zr, Nb, and Hf is formed on a ceramic member side, and a Mg solid solution layer in which Mg is solid-dissolved in a Cu matrix is formed between the active metal nitride layer and the copper member, and Cu-containing particles composed of either one or both of Cu particles and compound particles of Cu and the active metal are dispersed in an interior of the active metal nitride layer.

Systems and methods for applying solder to a pin. The methods comprising: disposing a given amount of solder on a non-wetable surface of a planar substrate; aligning the pin with the solder disposed on the non-wetable surface of the planar substrate; inserting the pin in the solder; and/or performing a reflow process to cause the solder to transfer from the planar substrate to the pin.

Embodiments of the present disclosure include method for sequentially mounting multiple semiconductor devices onto a substrate having a composite metal structure on both the semiconductor devices and the substrate for improved process tolerance and reduced device distances without thermal interference. The mounting process causes “selective” intermixing between the metal layers on the devices and the substrate and increases the melting point of the resulting alloy materials.
