Abstract

The present invention provides a method and a device for repairing semiconductor chips. The method includes providing an LED module that includes a circuit substrate and a plurality of light-emitting units disposed on the circuit substrate, at least one of the light-emitting units being a bad light-emitting unit; projecting a laser light source generated by a laser generating module onto the bad light-emitting unit so as to decrease the bonding strength between the bad light-emitting unit and the circuit substrate; removing the bad light-emitting unit from the circuit substrate by a chip pick-and-place module so as to form a vacancy; placing a good light-emitting unit inside the vacancy by the chip pick-and-place module; and then electrically connecting the good light-emitting unit to the circuit substrate. Therefore, the bad light-emitting unit can be replaced by the good light-emitting unit so as to repair the LED module.
