  • Carrier system for integrated circuit carrier assemblies
    Patent number: 5715143
    Abstract: A carrier system for an integrated circuit carrier assembly composed of a carrier member supporting an integrated circuit. The carrier system enables a number of carrier assemblies to be flexibly and sequentially interconnected, so as to form a flexible and continuous chain of carrier assemblies. The carrier system is characterized by interconnecting the carrier assemblies with a single tape that facilitates accurate alignment and placement of the carrier assemblies within the carrier system, and minimizes the risk of an adhesive buildup on the equipment used to handle the carrier system and separate the carrier assemblies from the carrier system.
