Densification of two‐dimensional arrays of nearly monosized copper spheres was examined by hot‐stage optical microscopy. The evolution of the particle arrangement was studied with computer methods, and statistical correlations were sought. Color graphics were found useful for displaying the spatial relationship of the local sintering parameters. It was found that differential densification was the major cause of rearrangement, rather than asymmetric neck formation.
