Patent ID: 8822238

Claim:
A method for placing a component on a target platform comprising: providing a plurality of alignment marks associated with a contact array at the component; providing a plurality of reference marks associated with a land pattern on the target platform; providing a first multiple-sensor probe including a first plurality of sensors; determining a second plurality of sensors included in the first plurality of sensors; sensing a first signal from a first one of the plurality of alignment marks by at least one of the second plurality of sensors; providing a second multiple-sensor probe including a third plurality of sensors; determining a fourth plurality of sensors included in the third plurality of sensors; sensing a second signal from a second one of the plurality of alignment marks by at least one of the fourth plurality of sensors; and detecting a deviation of the component from the target platform associated with a first position of the at least one of the second plurality of sensors that sense the first signal and a second position of the at least one of the fourth plurality of sensors that sense the second signal.
