Drawing of the concept of reactive nanocomposites (RNC) based bonding. 1 Deposition of the nanocomposite mixture dispersed in a carrier fluid onto the bottom substrate. 2 Removal of carrier fluid by evaporation and alignment of top substrate. 3 Ignition of the reactive bonding layer by a laser pulse through the top substrate while applying pressure. 4 Finished bond. The surrounding areas are not heated significantly
