Method for positioning and orienting a first object relative to a second object. Method includes positioning a near field transducer having an aperture on the first object, and directing a laser light toward the aperture of the near field transducer on the first object to create an effervescent wave on the other side of the aperture. Positioning a sensor on the second object for detecting the effervescent wave from the near field transducer. Providing an algorithm, and using information obtained from the sensor on the second object in the algorithm to control a nanopositioning system to position one of the first and second objects in a desired position and orientation relative to the other one of the first and second objects. One or both of the first and second objects may be an interposer, such as a silicon or glass interposer.

A method for manufacturing an electronic component includes positioning a first surface of a first component facing a second surface of a second component in a first state. The first surface has a first pad having a first center. The second surface has a second pad having a second center. At least one of the first or second pads includes a metal member. The method includes melting the metal member and moving the first and second components until the melted metal member contacts both pads, moving at least one of the first or second components in a direction along the first surface, and solidifying the metal member in a second state. A first distance in a direction along the first surface between the first and second centers in the first state is longer than a second distance in the direction between the first and second centers in the second state.

A semiconductor device manufacturing device comprises: a stage; two bonding heads which are mutually independently horizontally movable; and a controller for causing each of the two bonding heads to perform a positioning process for horizontal positioning, a grounding process for lowering the chip until the chip is grounded on a substrate, and a pressurizing process for applying a bonding load to the chip that is grounded.
