  • Publication number: 20230352437
    Abstract: Embodiments relate to using nanoporous metal tips to establish connections between a first body and a second body. The first body is positioned relative to the second body to align contacts protruding from a first surface of the first body with electrodes protruding from a second surface of the second body. The second surface faces the first surface. The contacts, the electrodes, or both comprise nanoporous metal tips. A relative movement is made between the first body and the second body after positioning the first body to approach the first body to the second body. The contacts and the electrodes are bonded by melting and solidifying the nanoporous metal tips after approaching the first body and the second body.

  • Patent number: 11735689
    Abstract: 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 ?LEDs. 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.
