A substrate bonding apparatus includes a substrate susceptor to support a first substrate, a substrate holder over the substrate susceptor to hold a second substrate, the substrate holder including a plurality of independently moveable holding fingers, and a chamber housing to accommodate the substrate susceptor and the substrate holder.

A method of transferring a micro device and an array of micro devices are disclosed. A carrier substrate carrying a micro device connected to a bonding layer is heated to a temperature below a liquidus temperature of the bonding layer, and a transfer head is heated to a temperature above the liquidus temperature of the bonding layer. Upon contacting the micro device with the transfer head, the heat from the transfer head transfers into the bonding layer to at least partially melt the bonding layer. A voltage applied to the transfer head creates a grip force which picks up the micro device from the carrier substrate.

A printed structure includes a destination substrate comprising two or more contact pads disposed on or in a surface of the destination substrate, a component disposed on the surface, and two or more electrically conductive connection posts. Each of the connection posts extends from a common side of the component. Each of the connection posts is in electrical and physical contact with one of the contact pads. The component is tilted with respect to the surface of the destination substrate. Each of the connection posts has a flat distal surface.

A method of making a micro-module structure comprises providing a substrate, the substrate having a substrate surface and comprising a substrate post protruding from the substrate surface. A component is disposed on the substrate post, the component having a component top side and a component bottom side opposite the component top side, the component bottom side disposed on the substrate post. The component extends over at least one edge of the substrate post. One or more component electrodes are disposed on the component.

Embodiments in accordance with the present inventive concept disclose a chip bonding apparatus that includes a stage configured to support a substrate and a heater that is disposed above the stage. The heater includes a heat generating portion and a body portion. The chip bonding apparatus further includes a bonding tool assembly fixing unit having a first portion connected to the body portion of the heater, and a second portion configured to receive the heat generating portion. The chip bonding apparatus further includes a first bonding tool connected to the heat generating portion; and a first bonding tool fixing unit having a third portion that is connected to the first portion, and a fourth portion configured to receive the first bonding tool. The bonding tool fixing unit may be attached by an electrostatic force or by coupling between a notch gripper and a corresponding notch.

Herein disclosed are a micro-component transfer head, a micro-component transfer device, and a micro-component display. Said micro-component transfer head comprises a carrying surface that corresponds to a micro-component extraction area. Said extraction area conforms with a first geometric object, which comprises at least an acute angle. A second geometric object comprises at least a right angle and is constituted of n copies of the first geometric object, n being an integer greater than 1. The shape of the first geometric object differs from that of the second.
