Patent ID: 8500930

Claim:
A method for the application of a contact area of a sheet-like jointing element onto a contact area of a wafer, wherein the contact area of the sheet-like jointing element is first brought essentially to the size of the contact area of the wafer, and a single detection device detects the position of the contact area of the wafer at a predetermined location and the position of the contact area of the sheet-like jointing element at the predetermined location to align the contact area of the sheet-like jointing element with the contact area of the wafer and the contact areas are brought exclusively into contact by means of a first device for receiving and, as necessary, moving the sheet-like jointing element and a second device for receiving and, as necessary, moving the wafer and said single detection device, whereby the course of the method is controlled by a control unit which is connected via active connections to the first and second device and to the single detection device.
