Claim:
1. An apparatus comprising: a first frame to hold a wafer tape having a first side and a second side, a plurality of semiconductor device dies being disposed on the first side of the wafer tape; a second frame including a first clamping member and a second clamping member to clamp therebetween a product substrate having a circuit trace thereon, the second frame configured to hold the product substrate such that the circuit trace is disposed facing the plurality of semiconductor device dies on the wafer tape; a needle disposed adjacent the second side of the wafer tape, a length of the needle extending in a direction toward the wafer tape; a needle actuator connected to the needle to move the needle to a die transfer position at which the needle presses on the second side of the wafer tape to press a semiconductor device die of the plurality of semiconductor device dies into contact with the circuit trace on the product substrate; and a laser pointing toward a portion of the product substrate corresponding to the transfer position at which the semiconductor device die contacts the circuit trace to apply energy to the circuit trace to affix the semiconductor device die to the circuit trace, wherein the laser is positioned within the apparatus such that the energy from the laser is applied directly on the product substrate during a transfer operation.
