An apparatus for executing a direct transfer of a semiconductor device die from a first substrate to a second substrate. The apparatus includes a first substrate conveyance mechanism movable in two axes. A micro-adjustment mechanism is coupled with the first substrate conveyance mechanism and is configured to hold the first substrate and to make positional adjustments on a scale smaller than positional adjustments caused by the first substrate conveyance mechanism. The micro-adjustment mechanism includes a micro-adjustment actuator having a distal end and a first substrate holder frame that is movable via contact with the distal end of the micro-adjustment actuator. A second frame is configured to secure the second substrate such that a transfer surface is disposed facing the semiconductor device die disposed on a surface of the first substrate. A transfer mechanism is configured to press the semiconductor device die into contact with the transfer surface of the substrate.

Apparatuses for executing a direct transfer of a semiconductor device die disposed on a first substrate to a second substrate

An electronic device includes a housing and an array of LEDs deposited on a substrate disposed in the housing. The array of LEDs is disposed to form an indicia via which a logo is displayable.

Multi-function light apparatus

An apparatus for transferring a semiconductor die ('die') from the first substrate to the second substrate. The apparatus includes a stage configured to hold a product substrate. A first bridge holds a transfer mechanism assembly. A second bridge holds a die substrate holder configured to hold the first substrate. A controller is configured to cause the first bridge and the second bridge to move to align the transfer mechanism assembly with the die on the first substrate with a transfer position on the second substrate where the die is to be transferred.

An apparatus includes a first display, an indicium, and a second display. The second display can include a light-generating source deposited on a substrate. The second display illuminates the indicium and the second display has a thickness of less than 0.25 millimeters. The apparatus also includes one or more controllers communicatively coupled to the first display and the second display and configured to control states of the first display and the second display.

Electronic device with light-generating sources to illuminate an indicium

An apparatus includes a transfer mechanism to transfer an electrically-actuatable element directly from a wafer tape to a transfer location on a circuit trace on a product substrate. The transfer mechanism includes one or more transfer wires. Two or more stabilizers disposed on either side of the one or more transfer wires. A needle actuator is connected to the one or more transfer wires and the two or more stabilizers to move the one or more transfer wires and the two or more stabilizers to a die transfer position.

Apparatus to control transfer parameters during transfer of semiconductor devices

A system for performing a direct transfer of a semiconductor device die includes a first conveyance mechanism to convey a first substrate, and a second conveyance mechanism to convey a second substrate with respect to the first substrate. The first substrate includes a first side and a second side, and the semiconductor device die is disposed on the first side of the first substrate. The second conveyance mechanism includes a first portion and a second portion to clamp the second substrate adjacent to a first side of the first substrate. The first portion of the second conveyance mechanism has a concave shape and the second portion of the second conveyance mechanism has a convex counter shape corresponding to the concave shape of the first portion. The system also includes a transfer mechanism disposed adjacent to the first conveyance mechanism to effectuate the direct transfer.

Systems for direct transfer of semiconductor device die

An apparatus includes a product substrate having a transfer surface, and a semiconductor die defined, at least in part, by a first surface adjoined to a second surface that extends in a direction transverse to the first surface. The transfer surface includes ripples in a profile thereof such that an apex on an individual ripple is a point on a first plane and a trough on the individual ripple is a point on a second plane. The semiconductor die is disposed on the transfer surface between the first plane and the second plane such that the second surface of the semiconductor die extends transverse to the first plane and the second plane.

Method and apparatus for embedding semiconductor devices

A method includes loading a wafer tape into a first frame, the wafer tape having a first side and a second side, a first semiconductor device die being disposed on the first side of the wafer tape. A substrate is loaded into a second frame, the substrate including a second semiconductor device die onto which the first semiconductor device die is to be transferred. A needle is oriented to a position adjacent to the second side of the wafer tape, the needle extending in a direction toward the wafer tape, and a needle actuator connected to the needle is activated to move the needle to a die transfer position at which the needle contacts the second side of the wafer tape to press the first semiconductor device die into contact with the second semiconductor device die.

Direct transfer of semiconductor devices from a substrate

A method for transferring a plurality of die operatively associated with a transfer apparatus to a glass substrate to form a circuit component. The transfer occurs by positioning the glass substrate to face a first surface of a die carrier carrying multiple die. A reciprocating transfer member thrusts against a second surface of the die carrier to actuate the transfer member thereby causing a localized deflection of the die carrier in a direction of the surface of the glass substrate to position an initial die proximate to the glass substrate. The initial die transfers directly to a circuit trace on the glass substrate. At least one of the die carrier or the transfer member is then shifted such that the transfer member aligns with a subsequent die on the first surface of the die carrier. The acts of actuating, transferring, and shifting are repeated to effectuate a transfer of the multiple die onto the glass substrate.

An apparatus includes a coverlay layer having a void therein. A backing layer is disposed against a first side of the coverlay layer. A transmission layer is disposed against a second side of the coverlay layer opposite the first side such that a chamber is formed within the void between the transmission layer and the backing layer. The transmission layer includes a first area having a first level of light transmissivity and a second area having a second level of light transmissivity that is greater than the first level of light transmissivity. The transmission layer is oriented so that at least a portion of each of the first area and the second area overlaps the void. A light source is positioned in the chamber between the first area of the transmission layer and the backing layer.

Variable pitch multi-needle head for transfer of semiconductor devices

A method for executing a direct transfer of semiconductor device die from a first substrate to transfer locations on a second substrate. The method includes determining a position of impact wires disposed on a transfer head, semiconductor device die, and transfer locations; determining whether there are at least two positions that an impact wire, a semiconductor device die, and a transfer locations are aligned within a threshold tolerance; and transferring, by the impact wires, the semiconductor device die such that the semiconductor device die detaches from the first substrate and attaches to transfer locations on the second substrate. The transferring being completed based at least in part on determining that the impact wire, the semiconductor device die, and the circuit trace are aligned within the threshold tolerance.
