The present disclosure relates to a transfer and bonding method using a laser. As a plurality of devices or packages are simultaneously transferred onto a substrate from a transfer tape by irradiating a top surface of the transfer tape with a first laser, and the plurality of transferred devices or packages are simultaneously bonded to pads of a substrate by irradiating a top surface of the devices or packages with a second laser, a speed of a transfer and bonding process may be extremely maximized.

A flux includes a solvent and a thixotropic agent, the solvent including a carboxylic acid that is liquid at ordinary temperature.

A method for bonding components is disclosed. The method may comprise positioning an interlayer between a metallic component and a metal-plated non-metallic component at a bond region, heating the bond region to a bonding temperature to produce a liquid at the bond region, and maintaining the bond region at the bonding temperature until the liquid has solidified to firm a bond between the metallic component and the metal-plated non-metallic component at the bond region. A method for providing a part having a customized coating is also disclosed. The method may comprise applying a metallic coating on a surface of a metallic substrate, and bonding the metallic coating to the metallic substrate by a transient liquid phase bonding process to provide the part having the customized coating.

The flux contains volatile rosin in an amount of 70 wt % or more and 98 wt % or less, non-volatile rosin in an amount of 0 wt % or more and 10% or less, and an activator in an amount of 2 wt % or more and 30 wt % or less, the activator including an organic acid in an amount of 0 wt % or more and 15 wt % or less, an organohalogen compound in an amount of 0.5 wt % and 15 wt % or less, an amine in an amount of 0 wt % or more and 5 wt % or less, and an amine hydrohalide salt in an amount of 0 wt % or more and 2.5 wt % or less.

The disclosure describes techniques for joining a first part including a ceramic or a CMC and a second part including a ceramic or a CMC using brazing. A technique may include positioning a filler material in a joint region between the first and second parts and a metal or alloy on a bulk surface of the filler material. The metal or alloy may be locally heated to melt the metal or alloy, which may infiltrate the filler material. A constituent of the molten metal or alloy may react with a constituent of the filler material to join the first and second parts. Another technique may include depositing a powder that includes the filler material and the metal or alloy in the joint region. Substantially simultaneously with depositing the powder, the powder may be locally heated. A constituent of the molten metal or alloy may react with a constituent of the filler material to join the first and second parts.

Particles that can suppress the occurrence of cracking or peeling during a thermal cycle in a connection part that connects two members to be connected are provided. The particles according to the present invention are particles used to obtain a connecting material for forming a connection part that connects two members to be connected, and the particles are used for forming the connection part such that thickness of the connection part after connection exceeds twice the average particle diameter of the particles before connection, or the particles have an average particle diameter of 0.1 μm or more and 15 μm or less, the particles have a 10% K value of 30 N/mm.sup.2 or more and 3000 N/mm.sup.2 or less, and the particles have a particle diameter CV value of 50% or less.

A method of preparing a surface for diffusion bonding comprises contacting a binder material with a discontinuous surface comprising surface regions separated by gaps. The binder material is selectively deposited onto the surface regions and has a sufficient viscosity to form a self-supporting layer without flowing into the gaps. The self-supporting layer of binder material comprises a mass density in a range from about 0.001 g/in.sup.2 to about 0.050 g/in.sup.2. A braze powder is distributed over the self-supporting layer of binder material, and a predetermined amount of the braze powder is attached to the binder material. The discontinuous surface is then heated to remove the binder material and adhere the braze powder to the discontinuous surface. Thus, a prewet surface with a braze deposit thereon is formed.
