Patent ID: 7981246

Claim:
A method for detaching a component bonded to a flexible film, in particular a semiconductor chip bonded to a wafer film, the component being, on its surface facing away from the film, taken hold of by a holding tool on a plane holding surface and lifted off from the film, the film being, in the region of the component, positioned on a detaching tool in such a way that it lies in a support plane and is supported in the support plane by at least one supporting element, and the film being sucked by means of negative pressure both against the supporting element and partly below the support plane, and furthermore at least one control element with a control surface being provided, which, before the lifting-off of the component from the film, the control element is moved in a direction substantially perpendicular to the support plane while the negative pressure is maintained, wherein the film lies on the control surface on at least one plane surface portion and in that the component is first taken hold of by the holding tool and is until lifting-off held clamped in every sequence of detachment either between the holding surface and the surface portion or between the holding surface and the supporting element, wherein the surface portion is first advanced out of the support plane and beyond the support plane simultaneously with the holding tool and returned into the support plane again, in that the surface portion is then pulled back out of the support plane into a detaching position while the holding tool secures the component and in that lastly the component is freed from the connection to the film still maintained by the supporting element.
