  • Patent number: 8735764
    Abstract: A thermode device for connecting and/or electrically contacting a plurality of first semiconductor components to at least one support element and/or to a plurality of second semiconductor components by heating an adhesive under the application of pressure. An example thermode device includes a basic body and a heating element which can be extended out of the basic body and which, under the application of pressure, acts on at least one of the first semiconductor components, wherein the basic body has on its underside a plurality of heating plates which are oriented vertically and are arranged next to one another. Each heating plate has on its end and underside a plurality of the extendable heating elements, to the underside of each of which there is assigned a first semiconductor component.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7895739
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device and a method for applying semiconductor chips (5) to a plurality of carriers (4), especially smart card modules or flexboards. According to the invention, an adhesive application device (1) is used to apply an adhesive to pre-defined positions on the carrier (4), a fitting device (2) is used to apply the semiconductor chips (5) to the positions on the carrier (4), and a hardening device (3) is used to harden the adhesive. The hardening device (3) and/or another device can be connected to a conveyor belt (6) for transporting the carrier (4) along the devices, by means of a clamping device (13, 14), and can be displaced in the transport direction at the speed of the conveyor belt (6), by means of a lifting device (15).
