A device (2) is formed on a main surface of a substrate (1). The main surface of the substrate (1) is bonded to the undersurface of the counter substrate (14) via the bonding member (11,12,13) in a hollow state. A circuit (17) and a bump structure (26) are formed on the top surface of the counter substrate (14). The bump structure (26) is positioned in a region corresponding to at least the bonding member (11,12,13), and has a higher height than that of the circuit (17).

A metal pillar with cushioned tip is disclosed. The cushioned tip offsets height difference among metal pillars. So that the height difference among metal pillars gives no significant effect to electrical coupling. The cushioned tip is a metal sponge. Additional one embodiment shows a second metal is plated on a tip of the metal sponge. A hardness of the second metal is greater than a hardness of a metal of the metal sponge, so that the second metal can stab into a corresponding metal sponge for electrical coupling.

An interconnect structure for a semiconductor device includes a plurality of unit cells. Each unit cell is formed of interconnected conducting segments. The plurality of unit cells forms a conducting lattice.

A semiconductor device according to the embodiment may include a light emitting structure including a first conductivity type semiconductor layer, a second conductivity type semiconductor layer; a first bonding pad disposed on the light emitting structure and electrically connected to the first conductivity type semiconductor layer; a second bonding pad disposed on the light emitting structure and spaced apart from the first bonding pad, and electrically connected to the second conductivity type semiconductor layer; and a reflective layer disposed on the light emitting structure and disposed between the first bonding pad and the second bonding pad.

Techniques are disclosed for forming a frame on the backplane comprising structures at least partially circumscribing or enclosing metal contacts on the backplane. In some embodiments, the frame may comprise a photoresist. The dimensions and structural integrity of the frame can help prevent misalignment and/or damage of physical obtrusions of light-emitting structures during a bonding process of the light-emitting structures to the backplane.

A first conductive pad is connected to a second conductive pad by using a post-transition metal and a nanoporous metal. An example of the post-transition metal is indium. An example of the nanoporous metal is nanoporous gold. A block of the post-transition metal is formed on the first conductive pad. The block of the post-transition metal is coated with a layer of anti-corrosion material. A block of the nanoporous metal is formed on the second conductive pad. The block of the post-transition metal and the block of the nanoporous metal are thermal compressed to form an alloy between the first conductive pad and the second conductive pad.
