Low temperature 3D bonding Scientists from Osaka University developed a new method for the direct three-dimensional bonding of copper electrodes using silver layers. The method works at low temperatures and does not require external pressure. "Our process can be performed under gentle conditions, at relatively low temperatures and without added pressure, but the bonds were able to withstand... » read more
