Patent ID: 8875766

Claim:
A device for the application of a sheet-like jointing element onto a contact area of a wafer with the following features: a first holding device having a surface for receiving the sheet-like jointing element thereon; a second holding device having a surface for receiving the wafer thereon, wherein the surface of the first holding device and the surface of the second holding device are movable relative to each other; a single detection device that detects the position of a contact area of the wafer at a predetermined location and an outer peripheral edge of the sheet-like jointing element at the predetermined location; a control unit connected to the first holding device, the second holding device and the single detection device, the control unit programmed to provide commands to the first holding device, the second holding device and the single detection device: to align the contact area of the sheet-like jointing element with the contact area of the wafer, whereby the size of the contact area of the sheet-like jointing element essentially corresponds to the size of the contact area of the wafer, and to bring the contact area of the sheet-like jointing element into contact with the contact area of the wafer.
