Transient liquid phase diffusion bonding is a process that differs from diffusion bonding. In transient liquid phase diffusion bonding, an element or alloy with a lower melting point in an interlayer diffuses into the lattice and grain boundaries of the substrates at the bonding temperature. Solid state diffusional processes lead to a change of ...
Liquid phase sintering is a sintering technique that uses a liquid phase to accelerate the interparticle bonding of the solid phase. In addition to rapid initial particle rearrangement due to capillary forces, mass transport through liquid is generally orders of magnitude faster than through solid, enhancing the diffusional mechanisms that drive densification.

Liquid phase sintering is the process of adding an additive to the powder which will melt before the matrix phase. The process of liquid phase sintering has three stages: rearrangement – As the liquid melts capillary action will pull the liquid into pores and also cause grains to rearrange into a more favorable packing arrangement.
The bonding temperature can be lowered using a higher applied pressure and vice versa, considering that high pressure increases the chances of damage to the structural material or the films. [8] The bonding process itself takes place in a vacuum or forming gas environment, e.g. N 2. [10]
Adhesive bonding with organic materials such as BCB or SU-8 has simple process properties and the ability to form high-aspect ratio micro structures. The bonding procedure is based on polymerization reaction of organic molecules to form long polymer chains during annealing. This cross-link reaction forms BCB and SU-8 to a solid polymer layer. [3]
The procedural steps of the direct bonding process of wafers any surface is divided into wafer preprocessing, pre-bonding at room temperature and; annealing at elevated temperatures. Even though direct bonding as a wafer bonding technique is able to process nearly all materials, silicon is the most established material up to now. Therefore, the ...
Plasma-activated bonding is a derivative, directed to lower processing temperatures for direct bonding with hydrophilic surfaces. The main requirements for lowering temperatures of direct bonding are the use of materials melting at low temperatures and with different coefficients of thermal expansion (CTE) .
The glass–liquid transition, or glass transition, is the gradual and reversible transition in amorphous materials (or in amorphous regions within semicrystalline materials) from a hard and relatively brittle "glassy" state into a viscous or rubbery state as the temperature is increased. [2]
