[0002] In the field of advanced packaging interconnects, the integration of various components into a single package is becoming increasingly important. The soldering method used for this structure significantly impacts its reliability. Traditional reflow soldering requires the entire "interconnect sandwich" to be exposed to a relatively high temperature, potentially impacting product performance and reliability. Furthermore, reflow oven operation is complex, and improper soldering parameters and temperature zones can easily lead to defects such as cold solder joints, poor solder joints, and bridging.
[0003] To improve reflow soldering's shortcomings, hot pressing and sintering are currently being used. However, this method requires long heating and cooling cycles throughout the soldering process, which reduces production efficiency, resulting in low UPH and high costs. Therefore, traditional soldering methods are no longer able to meet the requirements of advanced packaging. Summary of the Invention
