A stamp for micro-transfer printing includes a support having a support stiffness and a support coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE). A pedestal layer is formed on the support, the pedestal layer having a pedestal layer stiffness that is less than the support stiffness and a pedestal layer coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) that is different from the support coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE). A stamp layer is formed on the pedestal layer, the stamp layer having a body and one or more protrusions extending from the body in a direction away from the pedestal layer. The stamp layer has a stamp layer stiffness that is less than the support stiffness and a stamp layer coefficient of thermal expansion that is different from the support coefficient of thermal expansion.

According to one embodiment, in a semiconductor manufacturing apparatus, a controller relatively moves a bonding tool and a stage close to each other while causing a semiconductor chip to adhere by suction to a surface via a tape using at least a first suction structure in a first period. In a second period, the controller controls the temperature of the bonding tool to a first target temperature while keeping substantially equal to a target pressure a pressure applied to the semiconductor chip by the bonding tool. In a third period, the controller controls a relative distance between the bonding tool and the stage so that the pressure applied to the semiconductor chip by the bonding tool is kept equal to the target pressure and controls the temperature of the bonding tool to a second target temperature. The second target temperature is higher than the first target temperature.

A pin arrangement device includes: a storage portion in which a pin arrangement array body having a plurality of holes is disposed; and a mechanism for inserting pins into the holes of the pin arrangement array body disposed in the storage portion. The mechanism includes a first mechanism that vibrates the storage portion and a second mechanism that applies a magnetic field to the pin arrangement array body, and the first mechanism includes a swing mechanism that swings the storage portion and a vibration mechanism that vibrates the storage portion in a vertical direction or a horizontal direction.

A semiconductor die is bonded using epoxy onto a substrate supported on a heating platform. After preheating the substrate with the heating platform to a temperature of between 25 C. and 60 C., an epoxy dispenser deposits an epoxy dot onto the substrate before the semiconductor die is placed onto the epoxy dot with a pick head to thereby bond the semiconductor die onto the substrate.

A device which prints an electrically conductive pattern on a downhole tool using electrical ink includes a print head assembly and gripper claw assembly to print and manipulate the downhole tool during printing, respectively. The electrically conductive pattern may be an antenna coil, circuit or other desired pattern. After printing, the accuracy of the pattern is verified by the system and an impact resistant coating is applied to the pattern.

Provided is a method of mounting a conductive ball, and more particularly, a method of mounting a conductive ball, whereby defects during a process of mounting a conductive ball on a substrate by using a mounting hole formed in a mask may be prevented, and a conductive ball having a small size may also be effectively mounted on the substrate. According to the method of mounting a conductive ball, a process of mounting a conductive ball may be performed by preventing deformation of a mask, thus achieving a high quality of the process without omitting any conductive balls.

Small size chip handling and electronic component integration are accomplished using handle fixturing to transfer die or other electronic components from a full area array to a targeted array. Area array dicing of a thinned device wafer on a handle wafer/panel may be followed by selective or non-selective de-bonding of targeted die or electronic components from the handle wafer and optional attachment to a carrier such as a transfer head or tape. Alignment fiducials may facilitate precision alignment of the transfer head or tape to the device wafer and subsequently to the targeted array. Alternatively, the dies or other electronic elements are transferred selectively from either a carrier or the device wafer to the targeted array.
