Transient liquid phase (TLP) bonding is essential technology to repair micro-cracking on the airfoil of blades and vanes for gas turbines. Understanding of the characteristics of TLP bonding of the superalloys is necessary in the application of the technology for repairing these components. In this study, the focus was on investigating TLP bonding characteristics of ${\gamma}^{\prime}$ precipitation strengthened Ni based superalloy. TLP bonding was carried out with an amorphous filler metal in various bonding conditions, and the microstructural characterization was investigated through optical microscopy (OM) and electron probe micro-analysis (EPMA). The experimantal results explained clearly that bonding temperatures had critical effects on the TLP bonding behaviors, and that isothermal solidication of the joints made at higher temperatures than $1170^{\circ}C$ was controlled by Ti diffusion instead of B.

Power module is getting attention from electronic industries such as solar cell, battery and electric vehicles. Transient liquid phase (TLP) boding, sintering with Ag and Cu powders and wire bonding are applied to power module packaging. Sintering is a popular process but it has some disadvantages such as high cost, complex procedures and long bonding time. Meanwhile, TLP bonding has lower bonding temperature, cost effectiveness and less porosity. However, it also needs to improve ductility of the intermetallic compounds (IMCs) at the joint. Wire boding is also an important interconnection process between semiconductor chip and metal lead for direct bonded copper (DBC). In this study, TLP bonding using Sn-based solders and wire bonding process for power electronics packaging are described.

A precise bonding technique, transmission laser bonding using energy transfer, for polymer micro devices is presented. The irradiated IR laser beam passes through the transparent part and absorbed on the opaque part. The absorbed energy is converted into heat and bonding takes place. In order to optimize the bonding quality, the temperature profile on the interface must be obtained. Using optical measurements of the both plates, the absorbed energy can be calculated. At the wavelength of 1100nm $87.5\%$ of incident laser energy was used for bonding process from the calculation. A heat transfer model was applied for obtaining the transient temperature profile. It was found that with the power of 29.5 mW, the interface begins to melt and bond each other in 3 sec and it is in a good agreement with experiment results. The transmission IR laser bonding has a potential in the local precise bonding in MEMS or Lab-on-a-chip applications.

This paper is concerned with pressure welding, which has been known as a main bonding mechanism during the cold and warm forming such as clad extrusion or bundle extrusion/drawing. Bonding characteristics between the Cu and Al plates by pressure welding are investigated focusing on the weak bonding. Experiments are performed at the cold and warm temperatures ranging from the room temperature to $200^{\circ}C$. The important factors examined in this work are the welding pressure, pressure holding time, surface roughness, and temperature. A bonding map, which can identify the bonding criterion with a weak bonding strength of IMPa , is proposed in terms of welding pressure and surface roughness fur the cold and warm temperature ranges.

A small camera module fabricated by including bare chip bonding methods is utilized to realize advanced mobile devices. One of the driving forces is the TOG (Tape On Glass) bonding method which reduces the packaging size of the image sensor clip. The TOG module is a new thinner and smaller image sensor module, using flip chip interconnection method with the ACP (Anisotropic Conductive Paste). The TOG production process was established by determining the optimum bonding conditions for both optical glass bonding and image sensor clip bonding lo the flexible PCB. The bonding conditions, including sufficient bonding margins, were studied. Another bonding method is the flip chip bonding method for DSP (Digital Signal Processor) chip. A new AC\ulcorner was developed to enable the short resin curing time of 10 sec. The bonding mechanism of the resin curing method was evaluated using FEM analysis. By using these flip chip bonding techniques, small camera module was realized.

The wafer bonding process becomes a flexible approach to material and device integration. The bonding strength in 3-dimensional process is crucial factor in various interface bonding process such as silicon to silicon, silicon to metals such as oxides to adhesive intermediates. A measurement method of bonding strength was proposed by utilizing AFM applied CNT probe tip which indicated the relative simplicity in preparation of sample and to have merit capable to measure regardless type of films. Also, New Tool was utilized to measure of tip radius. The cleaned $SiO_2$-Si bonding strength of SPFM indicated 0.089 $J/m^2$, and the cleaning result by RCA 1($NH_4OH:H_2O:H_2O_2$) measured 0.044 $J/m^2$, indicated negligible tolerance which verified the possibility capable to measure accurate bonding strength. And it could be confirmed the effective bonding is possible through SPFM cleaning.

In this paper, the direct bonding process between FPCB and HPCB was studied. By using an ultrasonic horn which is mounted on the ultrasonic bonding machine, it is alternatively possible to bond the gold pads attached on the FPCB and HPCB at room temperature without an adhesive like ACA or NCA. The process condition for obtaining more bonding strength than 0.6 Kgf, which is commercially required, was carried out as 40 kHz of frequency, 0.6 MPa of bonding pressure and 2 second of bonding time. The peel off test was performed for evaluating bonding strength which results in more than 0.8 Kgf.

The bonding process of LCD panel is attaching an inner lead to an outer lead in the production line of LCD panel module. It is composed of an OLB process and a PCB bonding process. Since bonding tool assembly is one of the core parts of the bonding equipment that determines the durability and performance of the final product, much design efforts to enhance uniformity and efficiency of the process have been made. In this paper, FE analyses have been employed to determine the bonding tool size. Bonding tool of long bar shape has been simplified as a piece with same heater pitch, and appropriate boundary conditions such as convection and radiation are considered. Thermal analysis results by the FEM have been validated by the experiments. With the use of FE analysis varies design parameters and the corresponding effects have been evaluated. It was observed that the approach presented in this paper could be employed for the design of LCD module bonding tool.

In this paper, chip-on-glass(COG) interconnection with anisotropic conductive film(ACF) using lateral thermosonic bonding technology is considered. In general, thermo-compression bonding which is used in practice for flip-chip bonding suffers from the low productivity due to the long bonding time. It will be shown that the bonding time can be improved by using lateral thermosonic bonding in which lateral ultrasonic vibration together with thermo-compression is utilized. By measuring the internal temperature of ACF, the fast curing of ACF thanks to lateral ultrasonic vibration will be verified. Moreover, to prove the reliability of the lateral thermosonic bonding, observation of pressured mark by conductive particles, shear test, and water absorption test will be conducted.

This study was focused on the feasibility of ultrasonic bonding of Au flip chip bumps for a practical complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) image sensor with electroplated Au substrate. The ultrasonic bonding was carried out with different bonding pressures and times after the atmospheric pressure plasma cleaning, and then the die shear test was performed to optimize the ultrasonic bonding parameters. The bonding pressure and time strongly affected the bonding strength of the bumps. The Au flip chip bumps were successfully bonded with the electroplated Au substrate at room temperature, and the bonding strength reached approximate 73 MPa under the optimum conditions.
