A method of selectively transferring micro devices from a donor substrate to contact pads on a receiver substrate. Micro devices being attached to a donor substrate with a donor force. The donor substrate and receiver substrate are aligned and brought together so that selected micro devices meet corresponding contact pads. A receiver force is generated to hold selected micro devices to the contact pads on the receiver substrate. The donor force is weakened and the substrates are moved apart leaving selected micro devices on the receiver substrate.

A bond chuck having individually-controllable regions, and associated systems and methods are disclosed herein. The bond chuck comprises a plurality of individual regions that are movable relative to one another in a longitudinal direction. In some embodiments, the individual regions include a first region having a first outer surface, and a second region peripheral to the first region and including a second outer surface. The first region is movable in a longitudinal direction to a first position, and the second region is movable in the longitudinal direction to a second position, such that in the second position, the second outer surface of the second region extends longitudinally beyond the first outer surface of the first region. The bond chuck can be positioned proximate a substrate of a semiconductor device such that movement of the first region and/or second region affect a shape of the substrate, which thereby causes an adhesive on the substrate to flow in a lateral, predetermined direction.
