A semiconductor package of a pin-grid-array type includes a bump pad on a first substrate, a metal socket on a second substrate, a core material for reverse reflow on the bump pad, and solder paste or a solder bump forming a solder layer on the core material for reverse reflow. The solder paste or the solder bump is in contact with the bump pad. The core material for reverse reflow and the solder paste or the solder bump bonded to the core material for reverse reflow are used as a pin and detachably attached to the metal socket. The core material for reverse reflow includes a core, a first metal layer directly coated on the core, and a second metal layer directly coated on the first metal layer.

A method is disclosed for electrically bonding a first semiconductor component to a second semiconductor component, both components including arrays of contact areas. In one aspect, prior to bonding, layers of an intermetallic compound are formed on the contact areas of the second component. The roughness of the intermetallic layers is such that the intermetallic layers include cavities suitable for insertion of a solder material in the cavities, under the application of a bonding pressure, when the solder is at a temperature below its melting temperature. The components are aligned and bonded, while the solder material is applied between the two. Bonding takes place at a temperature below the melting temperature of the solder. The bond can be established only by the insertion of the solder into the cavities of the intermetallic layers, and without the formation of a second intermetallic layer.

A cell of fluidic assembly of microchips on a substrate, including: a base having its upper surface intended to receive the substrate; a body laterally delimiting a fluidic chamber above the substrate; and a cover closing the fluidic chamber from its upper surface, wherein the body comprises first and second nozzles respectively emerging onto opposite first and second lateral edges of the fluidic chamber, each of the first and second nozzles being adapted to injecting and/or sucking in a liquid suspension of microchips into and/or from the fluidic chamber, in a direction parallel to the mean plane of the substrate.

Electrical connection between electrodes provided respectively at facing positions in joint surfaces of substrates to be joined by chip lamination technology is conducted more securely. A method of manufacturing a semiconductor device includes: a first step of embedding electrodes in insulating layers exposed to the joint surfaces of a first substrate and a second substrate; a second step of subjecting the joint surfaces of the first substrate and the second substrate to chemical mechanical polishing, to form the electrodes into recesses recessed as compared to the insulating layers; a third step of laminating insulating films of a uniform thickness over the entire joint surfaces; a fourth step of forming an opening by etching in at least part of the insulating films covering the electrodes of the first substrate and the second substrate; a fifth step of causing the corresponding electrodes to face each other and joining the joint surfaces of the first substrate and the second substrate to each other; and a sixth step of heating the first substrate and the second substrate joined to each other, causing the electrode material to expand and project through the openings, and joining the corresponding electrodes to each other.
