Abstract: Electronic components are transferred from a source surface for supplying electronic components to a destination surface for receiving electronic components by an ejector device that is locatable at an ejection position for pushing an electronic component mounted on the source surface towards the destination surface. A support device that is locatable at a receiving position supports the electronic component that is pushed onto the destination surface. Further, a pre-transfer imaging device inspects the electronic component before it is transferred from the source surface and a post-transfer imaging device inspects the electronic component after it has been transferred onto the destination surface, wherein the pre-transfer and post-transfer imaging devices are located on opposite sides of the source and destination surfaces.

Abstract: An apparatus for determining an orientation of a die mounted on a tape includes an imaging device, a light source and a conveying mechanism. The die is at least partially translucent and includes at least one orientation feature indicative of the orientation of the die. In use, the conveying mechanism conveys the tape to position the die at an inspection position between the imaging device and the light source. The light source projects light to the imaging device and the imaging device captures an image. The projected light from the light source passing through the die is obstructed by the at least one orientation feature of the die to cause the captured image to include an image of the at least one orientation feature, whereby the orientation of the die may be determined.

Abstract: A pick arm for a pick and place apparatus for semiconductor devices, the pick arm comprising first and second ends along a longitudinal axis of the pick arm, and a pick tool located at the first end of the pick arm for picking up semiconductor devices. The pick arm further comprises a winged part extending in a direction transverse to the longitudinal axis between the first and second ends of the pick arm, wherein the winged part comprising a sloping surface. The sloping surface is inclined between a top portion and a bottom portion of the winged part such that the sloping surface is nearer to the longitudinal axis at the top portion than at the bottom portion of the winged part.

Abstract: A semiconductor die pick and place device comprising a handing mechanism comprising a pick arm movable between a placement location and a pick-up location. A reference feature is located on the pick arm, and a light reflecting module is carried by the pick arm. The light reflecting module is operable to reflect an image of the reference feature to an image capturing module such that the reference feature appears to the light reflecting module to be in focus at a virtual position that is equivalent to a position at the pick-up location and/or the placement location.

Abstract: A die tester comprising a testing table on which a plurality of dice arranged in an array are mountable, and a first probe and a second probe that are adjustable to a fixed position with a fixed separation distance between the first probe and the second probe. The fixed position corresponds to predetermined test points on the plurality of dice, and the testing table and the first and second probes are movable relative to each other so as to position test points of a first die of the plurality of dice to the first probe and the second probe for testing the first die. The die tester further comprises movable third and fourth probes that are movable relative to each other and positionable to test points on a second die of the plurality of dice for testing the second die.
