Patent ID: 6867111

Claim:
A method of manufacturing modules ( 4 ), wherein each module comprising at least one integrated circuit ( 2 ), and wherein the integrated circuits ( 2 ) are separated from a previously realized circuit configuration ( 1 ) comprising a plurality of integrated circuits ( 2 ), and wherein subsequently each of the separated integrated circuits ( 2 ) is conveyed to a module substrate ( 5 ) and is connected to the module substrate ( 5 ) in order to form a module ( 4 ), and wherein the separation of the integrated circuits ( 2 ) is carried out from a circuit configuration ( 1 ), which takes the form of a flexible film ( 1 ) and contains the integrated circuits ( 1 ) on the basis of a polymer, and wherein the separation and conveying of each integrated circuit ( 2 ) is carried out by a combined stamping-vacuum conveying device ( 6 ), said combined stamping-vacuum conveying device ( 6 ) comprising stamping means ( 8 ) as well as vacuum conveying means ( 9 ), and wherein the separation is effected in a stamping process carried out by the stamping means ( 8 ) for stamping out each integrated circuit ( 2 ) from the circuit configuration ( 1 ), and wherein the conveying is effected in a conveying process carried out by the vacuum conveying means ( 9 ).
