Abstract
Sub-micron precision alignment between two microelectronic components can be achieved by applying energy to incite an exothermic reaction in alternating thin film reactive layers between the two microelectronic components. Such a reaction rapidly distributes localized heat to melt a solder layer and form a joint without significant shifting of components.
