Abstract

A semiconductor device is formed by providing a semiconductor die. A laser-assisted bonding (LAB) assembly is disposed over the semiconductor die. The LAB assembly includes an infrared (IR) camera. The IR camera is used to capture an image of the semiconductor die. Image processing is performed on the image to identify corners of the semiconductor die. Regions of interest (ROI) are identified in the image relative to the corners of the semiconductor die. Parameters can be used to control the size and location of the ROI relative to the respective corners. The ROI are monitored for temperature using the IR camera while LAB is performed.
