  • Publication number: 20250054785
    Abstract: The disclosure describes a method for transferring components for an electronic assembly. The process involves providing a wafer coupled to an energy activated release layer, and singulating the wafer into multiple components. A portion of the energy activated release layer is then activated, allowing for the removal of a component from the layer. Activation of the energy activated release layer occurs through a change in temperature, not with ultraviolet light. The components are removed without the use of a conventional ejector pin or needle and may be removed using a gang pickup. The change in temperature of the energy activated release layer may be heating or cooling. The change in temperature may be driven from above, below, or both above and below the energy activated release layer, including from a bottom thermal probe that may also act as a temperature changing ejector needle.
