Method of transferring micro device using micro device transfer head

1. A method of transferring a micro device using a micro device transfer head, wherein the micro device transfer head includes a first base arm, a first side arm and a second side arm, and the micro device is fabricated on a substrate, the method comprising:

moving the first side arm of the micro device transfer head within a sensing range of the micro device;

charging the first side arm, thereby drawing the micro device away from the substrate to move towards a space between the first side arm and the second side arm;

shortening a distance between the first side arm and the second side arm, thereby clamping the micro device between the first side arm and the second side arm of the micro device transfer head; and

transferring the clamped micro device onto another substrate.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

charging the first base arm for drawing the micro device into the space between the first side arm and the second side arm after charging the first side arm for drawing the micro device to move towards the space between the first side arm and the second side arm.

3. The method of claim 2 , further comprising:

applying a voltage of a first polarity to the first side arm and applying a voltage of a second polarity to the second side arm for shortening the distance between the first side arm and the second side arm after drawing the micro device into the space between the first side arm and the second side arm.

4. The method of claim 2 , wherein the micro transfer head further includes a second base arm, further comprising:

applying a torque deformation on the first base arm using the second base arm for shortening the distance between the first side arm and the second side arm.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

moving the micro device transfer head along a predetermined direction so that the charged first side arm draws the micro device into the space between the first side arm and the second side arm after charging the first side arm for drawing the micro device to move towards the space between the first side arm and the second side arm, wherein the predetermined direction is parallel to a surface of the substrate.

6. The method of claim 5 , further comprising:

applying a voltage of a first polarity to the first side arm and applying a voltage of a second polarity to the second side arm for shortening the distance between the first side arm and the second side arm after drawing the micro device into the space between the first side arm and the second side arm.

7. The method of claim 5 , wherein the micro transfer head further includes a second base arm, further comprising:

applying a torque deformation on the first base arm using the second base arm for shortening the distance between the first side arm and the second side arm.

8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

applying a first voltage to the substrate and applying a second voltage to the first side arm so as to detach the micro device from the substrate and move towards the space between the first side arm and the second side arm, wherein the first voltage and the second voltage have opposite polarities.

9. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

performing an edge-cutting procedure on the substrate for defining a range of the micro device;

jacking up an end of the micro device away from the substrate using an auxiliary board; and

charging the first side arm for detaching the micro device from the substrate to move towards the space between the first side arm and the second side arm.
