A semiconductor package device includes a carrier, a first electronic component, and a conductive element on the carrier. The first electronic component is over the carrier. The conductive element is on the carrier and electrically connects the first electronic component to the carrier. The conductive element includes at least one conductive particle and a solder material covering the conductive particle, and the conductive particle includes a metal core, a barrier layer covering the metal core, and a metal layer covering the barrier layer.

Methods for die attachment of multichip and single components including flip chips may involve printing a sintering paste on a substrate or on the back side of a die. Printing may involve stencil printing, screen printing, or a dispensing process. Paste may be printed on the back side of an entire wafer prior to dicing, or on the back side of an individual die. Sintering films may also be fabricated and transferred to a wafer, die or substrate. A post-sintering step may increase throughput.

A bonding element includes a first transient liquid phase (TLP) bonding element including a first material and a second material, the first material having a higher melting point than the second material, a ratio of a quantity of the first material and the second material in the first TLP bonding element having a first value and a second TLP bonding element including the first material and the second material, a ratio of a quantity of the first material and the second material in the second TLP bonding element having a second value different from the first value.

Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to integrated circuit (IC) package assemblies with magnetic contacts, as well as corresponding fabrication methods and systems incorporating such magnetic contacts. A first IC substrate may have a first magnet coupled with a first electrical routing feature. A second IC substrate may have a second magnet coupled with a second electrical routing feature. The magnets may be embedded in the IC substrates and/or electrical routing features. The magnets may generate a magnetic field that extends across a gap between the first and second electrical routing features. Electrically conductive magnetic particles may be applied to one or both of the IC substrates to form a magnetic interconnect structure that extends across the gap. In some embodiments, magnetic contacts may be demagnetized by heating the magnets to a corresponding partial demagnetization temperature (PDT) or Curie temperature. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
