A system for handling semiconductor and electronic elements secured to an adhesive surface is provided. According to one aspect of the invention, a vacuum is applied through holes in a loading base. Under the influence of the vacuum, the adhesive film is pulled down toward the loading base and stretched around a pick rod so that the adhesive film is peeled away from the element. Thus, adhesive contact between the film and the element is reduced and a vacuum pick or collet is able to lift the element from the adhesive film with minimal force applied to the surface of the element.

An apparatus and process for retaining laser bars during a facet coating operation and releasing the bars after the conclusion of the facet coating operation. A multitude of spacers are positioned with laser bars therebetween. Each spacer includes an upper and lower fixture blade. The spacers are compressed together, thus sandwiching the laser bars, during the facet coating operation. After release of the compressive force, adhered laser bars are removed by moving one of the fixture blades relative to the other fixture blade. Movement can be along the longitudinal axis of the blades, perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, or rotation about a pivot axis. Further, movement can include elevation of one blade, or an end of one blade, relative to the other blade.

An apparatus and method for transferring a semiconductor die from an adhesive film to an output carrier is disclosed. The adhesive film and associated hoop assembly on which the die are secured are inverted so that die face downward, p-side down, from the film. And an output pack is positioned beneath the die. An ejector pin exerts a force on a side of the adhesive film opposite the side on which the semiconductor die is secured to release the die. A vacuum is provided through a port in the output pack, pulling the released die into the output pack. The transfer occurs in a single step and orients the die p-side down in the output pack, thus eliminating the control arm/vacuum collet assembly and associated handling steps of conventional transfer mechanisms.

A system is provided for trimming excess vinyl film from a hoop assembly. The hoop assembly may be used to manufacture semiconductor workpieces. The system uses a pressure applying member applied to the excess film with a bearing surface sufficient to receive such pressure on the opposite side of the excess film. The system may be rotated such that the film is trimmed around the entire hoop assembly at the position of the pressure applying member. The bearing surface may be part of the support for the system or incorporated into the hoops.

An apparatus and method for demounting parts from the adhesive upper surface of a film has a base with a tool mounted thereon. A portion of the tool has a fluted surface extending above the base upper surface. The film lower surface is positioned above the base with a part on the film overlying and opposite the fluted surface of the tool. A vacuum is supplied through at least one passage in the base to the film lower surface to draw the film around and over the tool flute and force the part to at least partially separate from the film adhesive upper surface. The part that has been separated from the adhesive upper surface of the film is stripped from the film adhesive upper surface such as by applying a vacuum force directly to the part through a collet and moving the collet and base relative to one another.

A method for testing the light emitted by a group of semiconductor light emitting devices arranged to emit light over a testing area, each light emitting device having a p-contact, the method including connecting a plurality of selectively connectable p-contact probes to the p-contacts of respective light emitting devices in the group of light emitting devices, selectively activating one of the light emitting devices in the group of light emitting devices to emit light over the testing area by selectively supplying a predetermined electrical current to the p-contact of the selected light emitting device via its respective p-contact probe, guiding the light emitted by the selected light emitting device via a light funnel having a collection end and a detection end, the collection end being in juxtaposition with all the light emitting devices in the group of light emitting devices, and detecting light exiting the detection end of the light funnel.

A system for handling semiconductor workpieces, by aligning a movable pick and place device and a movable optical control device, is disclosed. The system and method provide for the formation of an imprint by the pick and place device. The optical control device can then be aligned to that imprint, creating alignment between the pick and place device and the optical control device. Once alignment is complete the imprinted material may be replaced with one or more semiconductor workpieces. The system provides precise, repeatable alignment between the pickup point for the pick and place device and the optical control device.
