Patent ID: 6909276

Claim:
A method of fabricating an integrated circuit package comprising the acts of: (a) disposing a plurality of integrated circuit devices onto a silicon wafer; (b) inspecting the wafer, wherein inspecting comprises the acts of: (i) loading the wafer into a wafer holding structure, the wafer having a first surface and a second surface; (ii) inspecting the first surface of the wafer by rotating the wafer within the wafer holding structure about a first axis, the first axis disposed generally perpendicular to the surface of the wafer and extending generally through the axial center of the wafer; (iii) rotating the wafer holding structure about a rotatable member to rotate the wafer approximately 180° about a second axis, the rotatable member being mechanically coupled to the wafer holding structure; (iv) inspecting the second surface of the wafer; and (v) removing the wafer from the wafer holding structure. (c) electrically testing the integrated circuit devices; (d) singulating the integrated circuit devices; and (e) packaging selected singulated integrated circuit devices to form respective integrated circuit packages.
