Abstract: Selective transfer of dies including semiconductor devices to a target substrate can be performed employing local laser irradiation. Coining of at least one set of solder material portions can be employed to provide a planar surface-to-surface contact and to facilitate bonding of adjoining pairs of bond structures.

The transferred devices can be pressed against the target substrate during a second reflow process so that the top surfaces of the transferred devices can be coplanar. Wetting layers of different sizes can be employed to provide a trapezoidal vertical cross-sectional profile for reflowed solder material portions.
