Abstract:
1. An apparatus for applying semiconductor chips to a plurality of substrates, wherein at an adhesive application device adhesive is applied to the substrates at predefined substrate positions, at a fitting device the substrates are fitted in a defined fitting time with the semiconductor chips at the substrate positions, and in a curing device the adhesive is cured in a process time substantially exceeding the fitting time, wherein the curing device is connectable by a clamping device to a conveyor belt which transports the substrates in a transport direction along the adhesive application and fitting devices, and wherein the curing device is movable in the transport direction, at a transport speed of the conveyor belt, by a lifting device, wherein, in the curing device which is connectable to the conveyor belt, a plurality of processing units are arranged in the transport direction of the conveyor belt, which processing units carry out simultaneous processing of the substrates fitted with the semiconductor chips as they are transported, or a plurality of control units are arranged in the transport direction of the conveyor belt, which control units carry out simultaneous control of the substrates fitted with the semiconductor chips as they are transported; further comprising a timer device for setting a time duration, wherein, if the plurality of processing units are arranged in the transport direction of the conveyor belt, the time duration corresponds to the sum of a processing time of a processing unit and a time period which is required to return the curing device to a starting position in a direction counter to the transport direction, and wherein, if the plurality of control units are arranged in the transport direction of the conveyor belt, the time duration corresponds to the sum of a control time of a control unit and a time period which is required to return the curing device to a starting position in a direction counter to the transport direction.
