Patent ID: 8633089

Claim:
Method of bonding an array of semiconductor components onto one or more substrates, comprising the steps of: providing a first plurality of semiconductor components and a second plurality of semiconductor components on a carrier; locating the first plurality of semiconductor components for pick-up by a transfer device; picking up each semiconductor component comprised in the first plurality of semiconductor components with the transfer device and bonding it onto a respective bonding position on the one or more substrates; after the first plurality of semiconductor components have been picked up and bonded, rotating the carrier through an angle and locating the second plurality of semiconductor components for pick-up by the transfer device; and thereafter picking up each semiconductor component comprised in the second plurality of semiconductor components with the transfer device; rotating a pick tool of the transfer device to change the orientation of the semiconductor component relative to the substrate after picking up each semiconductor component comprised in the second plurality of semiconductor components, but before bonding it onto a respective bonding position; and bonding each semiconductor component comprised in the second plurality of semiconductor components onto a respective bonding position on the one or more substrates.
