  • Patent number: 10439100
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing an optical semiconductor apparatus includes: placing a light transmissive lid body on a package substrate adapted to house an optical semiconductor device in an atmosphere of a first gas containing oxygen (O2), sandwiching a bonding member containing gold-tin (AuSn); exchanging an atmosphere gas for a second gas so as to reduce an oxygen concentration in the atmosphere while a load is exerted from above the lid body placed on the package substrate for temporary sealing; and heating and melting the bonding member after an exchange for the second gas is started so as to bond the package substrate and the lid body.

  • Publication number: 20150050778
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for producing a semiconductor device in which solder joints are made between a semiconductor chip with bumps and a substrate with electrodes corresponding to the bumps through a thermosetting adhesive layer, the method including the successive steps of: (A) forming a thermosetting adhesive layer in advance on a surface including bumps of the semiconductor chip; (B) laying a surface on the thermosetting adhesive layer side of the semiconductor chip, on which the thermosetting adhesive layer is formed, and a substrate one upon another, followed by pre-bonding using a heat tool to obtain a pre-bonded laminate; and (C) interposing a protective film having a thermal conductivity of 100 W/mK or more between the heat tool and a surface on the semiconductor chip side of the pre-bonded laminate, melting a solder between the semiconductor chips and the substrate and simultaneously curing the thermosetting adhesive layer using the heat tool.

  • Publication number: 20120183775
    Abstract: Disclosed is a process which comprises bringing an acidic organic substance or phosphoric acid into contact with a metal to form, on the surface of the metal, a layer that contains either an organic acid salt formed from both the acidic organic substance and the metal or a phosphoric acid salt formed from both the phosphoric acid and the metal. In the process, the layer can be selectively formed only on the surface of the metal. When the process is applied to the production of core-shell particles, neither agglomeration of the particles nor viscosity increase of the fluid occurs, while when the process is applied to the production of a covered metal-wiring circuit board, the layer can be selectively formed only in the metal area to be covered.
