Abstract:
A method of making an assembly can include juxtaposing a top surface of a first electrically conductive element at a first surface of a first substrate with a top surface of a second electrically conductive element at a major surface of a second substrate. One of: the top surface of the first conductive element can be recessed below the first surface, or the top surface of the second conductive element can be recessed below the major surface. Electrically conductive nanoparticles can be disposed between the top surfaces of the first and second conductive elements. The conductive nanoparticles can have long dimensions smaller than 100 nanometers. The method can also include elevating a temperature at least at interfaces of the juxtaposed first and second conductive elements to a joining temperature at which the conductive nanoparticles can cause metallurgical joints to form between the juxtaposed first and second conductive elements.

Claim (Index 1):
An assembly, comprising:\n a first component including a substrate having a first surface and a plurality of substantially rigid first posts of metal at the first surface, the first posts extending away from the first surface in a first direction, each first post having a top surface generally facing in the first direction, the top surface of each of the first posts projecting a height above the first surface such that the top surface is remote from the first surface, each first post having edge surfaces extending at substantial angles away from the top surface thereof; and a second component including a substrate having a major surface and a plurality of second conductive elements exposed at the major surface, each second conductive element having a top surface generally facing in a second direction, the top surface of each second conductive element exposed in a recess extending below the major surface, the first posts being joined with the second conductive elements, such that the top surfaces of the first posts at least partially confront the top surfaces of the second conductive elements, and such that at least some of the first posts at least partially extend into corresponding ones of the recesses of the second component, each first post being electrically interconnected to a corresponding one of the second conductive elements by a bond region including impurities that show structural evidence of the use of conductive nanoparticles having long dimensions smaller than 100 nanometers in the joining process, each bond region penetrating at least partially into the first post and the second conductive element.
