Using a laser to place known good die at 100 million units/hour massively-parallel laser die placement Using a laser to place known good die at 100 million units/hour July 2017

Emerging Electronics Require New Manufacturing Capabilities Thinner/Flexible Faster/Cheaper Internet-of-Things Wearable Electronics LED Lighting Displays Structural Electronics

Today’s Placement Technology is Unusable for Tomorrow’s Products Emerging Display/Lighting Products Require Placement of Millions of LEDs With today’s placement technology: Manufacture time for one unit: months Minimum LED size: 300 µm (10-50X larger than required)

Laser-Enabled Massively Parallel Transfer Ultra-fast placement (>100 million units/hour) Known good die selectivity Wide range of component types and sizes Large or small display formats

Actuation Mechanism: Thermo-Mechanical Laser Transfer Diced wafer attached to transparent carrier Laser focused at selected die Dynamic release layer blisters -> detaches die from carrier -> directs it to substrate laser pulse transparent carrier dynamic release layer die 10 – 100 µm substrate 3D confocal image of DRL blisters (blister side up) DRL blister (post-die release)

Laser Actuation Enables Ultra-High Placement Rates Laser blistering mechanism: 50 µs Places dies >1000x faster than mechanical means Beam scanning: 8 m/s Places dies in rapid succession Beam splitting Places multiple dies in parallel

Single- and Multi-Beam Modes Used for Known-Good-Die Placement 1. Bad Die Removal single-beam mode 2. Good Die Placement multi-beam mode 3. Fill-In single-beam mode transfer field bad dies Wafer placed dies fully- populated substrate Substrate (none) missing dies

Modeled Placement Rates wafer movement wafer replacement beam scanning bad die removal & replacement today’s pick-and-place rates: 0.01 – 0.05 M/hr 5.5 Inches 70 Inches 1080p 4K

Multi-beam Arrays Most Effective at High Wafer Yields today’s pick-and-place assembly times: 20 – 100 days 4K Resolution, 70 Inches 4K Resolution, 5.5 Inches
