Electronic device
Abstract
An electronic device comprises a target substrate, a micro semiconductor structure array, a conductor array, and a connection layer. The micro semiconductor structure array is disposed on the target substrate. The conductor array corresponds to the micro semiconductor structure array, and electrically connects the micro semiconductor structure array to a pattern circuit of the target substrate. The conductors of the conductor array are independent from one another. Each conductor is an integrated member formed by eutectic bonding a conductive pad of the target substrate and a conductive electrode of the corresponding one of the micro semiconductor structures of the micro semiconductor structure array. The connection layer connects the micro semiconductor structures to the target substrate. The connection layer excludes a conductive material. The connection layer contacts and surrounds the conductors, so that the connection layer and the conductors together form a one-layer structure.
