Abstract:
1. A method of transferring a plurality of integrated circuit (IC) devices having a plurality of contacts from an IC device delivery tray holding a plurality of said IC devices to a printed circuit board, said method comprising the steps of: placing a carrier tray over said IC device delivery tray; flipping said carrier tray and said device delivery tray so that said delivery tray is above said carrier tray removing said IC delivery tray so that said plurality of integrated circuit devices are resting in said carrier tray with said contacts facing up; placing an inter-connection layer over said carrier tray containing said IC devices; placing said printed circuit board on top of said inter-connection layer; and applying opposing pressure to said carrier tray and said printed circuit board, thereby making electrical contact between said plurality of contacts on said IC device and corresponding contacts on said printed circuit board.
