The invention is directed towards enhanced systems and methods for employing a pulsed photon (or EM energy) source, such as but not limited to a laser, to electrically couple, bond, and/or affix the electrical contacts of a semiconductor device to the electrical contacts of another semiconductor devices. Full or partial rows of LEDs are electrically coupled, bonded, and/or affixed to a backplane of a display device. The LEDs may be μLEDs. The pulsed photon source is employed to irradiate the LEDs with scanning photon pulses. The EM radiation is absorbed by either the surfaces, bulk, substrate, the electrical contacts of the LED, and/or electrical contacts of the backplane to generate thermal energy that induces the bonding between the electrical contacts of the LEDs' electrical contacts and backplane's electrical contacts. The temporal and spatial profiles of the photon pulses, as well as a pulsing frequency and a scanning frequency of the photon source, are selected to control for adverse thermal effects.

An integrated circuit package can contain a semiconductor die and provide electrical connections between the semiconductor die and additional electronic components. The integrated circuit package can reduce stress placed on the semiconductor die due to movement of the integrated circuit package due to, for example, temperature changes and/or moisture levels. The integrated circuit package can at least partially mechanically isolate the semiconductor die from the integrated circuit package.

Disclosed is a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device which includes: a semiconductor chip; a substrate and/or another semiconductor chip; and an adhesive layer interposed therebetween. This method comprises the steps of: heating and pressuring a laminate having: the semiconductor chip; the substrate; the another semiconductor chip or a semiconductor wafer; and the adhesive layer by interposing the laminate with pressing members for temporary press-bonding to thereby temporarily press-bond the substrate and the another semiconductor chip or the semiconductor wafer to the semiconductor chip; and heating and pressuring the laminate by interposing the laminate with pressing members for main press-bonding, which are separately prepared from the pressing members for temporary press-bonding, to thereby electrically connect a connection portion of the semiconductor chip and a connection portion of the substrate or the another semiconductor chip.
