An apparatus for inverting and handling integrated circuit dice employs rotating apparatus for rotating a chip carrier by 180 degrees to invert and transfer dice from one set of receptacles to another; together with an apparatus for precisely aligning dice resting at random positions within a set of oversized receptacles.

Manipulation and handling of integrated circuit dice

An apparatus for removing selected integrated circuit dice from a wafer array of dice sequentially moves a striker above a tape to the underside of which the array is mounted and then knocks a die down from the array of dice into a receptacle for transport to further processing stages.

Chip selection in automatic assembly of integrated circuit

A leadframe for an integrated circuit includes a set of individual leads temporarily connected in an array; each lead having an exterior portion shaped in a standard form and an interior portion shaped to form a standard array of contacts and to have the same spring constant for deflections perpendicular to the plane of the leadframe.
