Abstract

An apparatus for transferring a semiconductor device comprises platform comprising a carrier; a positioning unit above the platform and comprising an opening; and an elevating unit connecting the platform and the positioning unit; and a heater.

Claims (24)

1. An apparatus for transferring a semiconductor device, comprising:

a platform comprising a carrier;

a positioning unit arranged above the platform and comprising an opening; and

an elevating unit connecting the platform and the positioning unit; and

a heater arranged above the positioning unit.

2. The apparatus for transferring a semiconductor device according to claim 1 , further comprising a roller system, wherein the roller system comprises a roller and a track, the roller is configured to move along the track.

3. The apparatus for transferring a semiconductor device according to claim 2 , wherein the roller comprises a non rigid body or an elastic material.

4. The apparatus for transferring a semiconductor device according to claim 2 , wherein the roller has a shape of a cylinder or a barrel-shaped cylinder with two extending cylinder ends.

5. The apparatus for transferring a semiconductor device according to claim 2 , wherein the roller is configured to roll at a constant speed, variable speed, or a constant acceleration.

6. The apparatus for transferring a semiconductor device according to claim 2 , wherein the roller is capable of rolling and exerting a downward pressure.

7. The apparatus for transferring a semiconductor device according to claim 1 , further comprising a ring fixed at the opening.

8. The apparatus for transferring a semiconductor device according to claim 7 , further comprising an adhesive substance attached to the ring.

9. The apparatus for transferring a semiconductor device according to claim 8 , wherein a stickiness of the adhesive substance changes with a change of temperature.

10. The apparatus for transferring a semiconductor device according to claim 1 , further comprising a fixture on the carrier.

11. The apparatus for transferring a semiconductor device according to claim 10 , further comprising an adhesive substance attached to the fixture.

12. The apparatus for transferring a semiconductor device according to claim 11 , wherein a stickiness of the adhesive substance changes with a change of temperature.

13. The apparatus for transferring a semiconductor device according to claim 1 , wherein the elevating unit comprises a pneumatic cylinder for providing driving force.

14. The apparatus for transferring a semiconductor device according to claim 13 , wherein the pneumatic cylinder is an adjustable uniaxial cylinder.

15. The apparatus for transferring a semiconductor device according to claim 1 , wherein the heater is movable above the positioning unit.

16. The apparatus for transferring a semiconductor device according to claim 2 , wherein the roller comprises a rubber.

17. The apparatus for transferring a semiconductor device according to claim 1 , wherein the positioning unit is configured to move toward or away from the platform.

18. The apparatus for transferring a semiconductor device according to claim 1 , wherein the carrier comprises a heating unit.
