A method for placing a semiconductor onto a substrate is provided. The method includes the following steps: transferring, using a placement tool, the semiconductor along a path over onto the substrate; lowering, using the placement tool, the semiconductor to a predetermined height above the substrate; titling, using the placement tool, the semiconductor, to a predetermined angle; determining, using the placement tool, a first contact point of the semiconductor to the substrate at the predetermined angle; determining, using the placement tool, the first contact point is shift-off from an alignment position on the semiconductor with respect to the substrate; adjusting, using the placement tool, the first contact point to correct the shift-off; and lowering, using the placement tool, the semiconductor to make a first contact with the substrate at the corrected first contact point.
