A method for transferring an electronic device includes steps as follows. A flexible carrier having a first surface on which the electronic device to be transferred is disposed and a second surface, a target substrate, a target substrate, and a light-transmissible pin having a pressing end are provided. The flexible carrier is spaced from the target substrate with the first surface thereof facing the target substrate. The flexible carrier is deformed by exerting the pin to press the second surface with the pressing end thereof at a position corresponding to the electronic device until the electronic device is in contact with the target substrate. An energy beam emitted from a light source standing outside the pin and then traveling through the pin and going out from the pressing end to bond the electronic device onto the target substrate is applied. The pin is released from pressing the flexible carrier.

A process of forming a semiconductor device is disclosed, where the semiconductor device provides a base and a semiconductor chip that is mounted on the base through solder. The process includes steps of: (a) melting the solder by a heater that is provided within a block of a bonding apparatus, where the block mounts the base thereon and the base provides the solder thereon; (b) heating the semiconductor chip by radiation beams in advance to mount the semiconductor chip onto the base; and (c) placing the semiconductor chip onto the melted solder.

A rework process includes attaching a first bond head to a first semiconductor package. The contact pads of the first semiconductor package are bonded to contact pads of a second semiconductor package by solder joints. The rework process further includes performing a first local heating process to melt the solder joints, removing the first semiconductor package using the first bond head, and removing at least a portion of solder from the contact pads of the second semiconductor package.

A method of forming a stacked surface arrangement for semiconductor devices includes joining a first surface to a second surface with a solder bump, the solder bump including a substantially pure first metal; depositing nanoparticles of a second metal onto a surface of the solder bump; performing an annealing operation to form a film of the second metal on the surface of the solder bump; and performing a reflow or a second annealing operation to transform the solder bump from the substantially pure first metal to an alloy of the first metal and the second metal.

The invention describes an apparatus and a method for soldering mating parts, in particular electrical components to circuit boards or other carrier elements. The mating parts may be received and pressed together between two plate elements. One of the plate elements, which is heatable, may be flexible and may be elastically biased in the direction of the other plate element, by means of a plurality of elastically biased elements. Alternatively or additionally, heating may be provided for both plate elements.
