A method for manufacture of an electronic interface card including defining a pair of apertures in a substrate layer, associating an antenna with the substrate layer such that opposite ends of the antenna terminate at the apertures, placing a metal element in each of the apertures, connecting the ends of the antenna to the metal elements, laminating the substrate layer together with a top layer and a bottom layer, forming a recess in the top layer and the substrate layer, attaching ends of connection wires to the metal elements, attaching opposite ends of the connection wires to a chip module and sealing the chip module in the recess.

Semiconductor packages are described which increase the density of electronic components within. The semiconductor package may incorporate interposers with cavities formed into the top and/or bottom. The cavities may then be used as locations for the electronic components. Alternatively, narrow spacer interposers may be used to space apart standard more laterally elongated interposers to form the indentations used to house the electronic components. The semiconductor package designs described herein may be used to reduce footprint, reduce profile and increase electronic component and transistor density for semiconductor products.

An electronic circuit component mounting head which mounts electronic circuit components to a circuit substrate is provided. The mounting head includes a rotating/raising/lowering axis held on a head main body as to be capable of rotation and of being raised/lowered, a suction nozzle held on the rotating/raising/lowering axis as to be capable of being raised/lowered and not capable of being rotated relatively, and the rotating/raising/lowering axis and suction nozzle can be rotated as necessary by an electric motor. A raising/lowering driving member is held on head main body as to be capable of being raised/lowered, and is raised/lowered by a first linear motor. A first engaging section of the raising/lowering driving member is engaged with the rotating/raising/lowering axis, and a second engaging section of a second linear motor is held on the raising/lowering driving member engaged with suction nozzle.

An apparatus including a carrier substrate configured to move a microelectronic device. The apparatus further includes a rotatable body configured to receive the microelectronic device. Additionally, the apparatus includes a second substrate configured to receive the microelectronic device from the rotatable body.

A semiconductor mounting device 10 comprises: a temporary placement stage 12 on which are loaded a plurality of chip components 30a, 30b, 30c; a conveyance head 14 that conveys the chip components 30a, 30b, 30c to the temporary placement stage 12, and also loads each of the chip components 30a, 30b, 30c on the temporary placement stage 12 so that the relative positions of the plurality of chip components 30a, 30b, 30c reach predetermined positions; a mounting stage 16 that secures a substrate 36 by suction; and a mounting head 18 that suctions the plurality of chip components 30a, 30b, 30c loaded on the temporary placement stage 12, and pressurizes while keeping the relative positions at prescribed positions on the substrate 36 that is secured by suction to the mounting stage 16.

To manufacture a device by picking and placing semiconductor devices from a carrier substrate to a target substrate using touch down sensors, a pick-up head including touch down sensors and the semiconductor devices on the carrier substrate are moved relative to each other to contact the carrier substrate with the touch down sensors. Signals from each touch down sensor indicating a degree of deformation of each touch down sensor caused by the contact with the carrier substrate are used to determine an orientation of the pick-up head by processing the signals, and adjust the orientation of the pick-up head based on the determined orientation to attach the semiconductor devices onto the pick-up head. In some embodiments, the touch down sensors are piezoelectric benders.
