Abstract:
A carrier for handling and transporting semiconductor components comprising:a frame comprising a plurality of component mounting sites comprising pockets; and an adhesive member on each component mounting site comprising a polymer tape having a first adhesive surface comprising a low tack repositionable adhesive configured to exert a first adhesive force on a component for retaining the component on the frame, and a second adhesive surface comprising a high tack adhesive configured to exert a second adhesive force on the frame for bonding the adhesive member to the frame, the first adhesive force being less than the second adhesive force and selected to prevent movement of the component on the frame during handling and transport of the frame but to permit removal of the component from the frame by a tool as the adhesive member remains bonded to the frame.
