  • Patent number: 10811383
    Abstract: A method of manufacturing a plurality of electronic circuits is disclosed. Each electronic circuit comprises a respective first portion, comprising a respective group of contact pads, and a respective integrated circuit, IC, comprising a respective group of terminals and mounted on the respective group of contact pads with each terminal in electrical contact with a respective contact pad. The method comprises: providing a first structure comprising the plurality of first portions; providing a second structure comprising the plurality of ICs and a common support arranged to support the plurality of ICs; transferring said ICs from the common support onto a first roller; transferring said ICs from the first roller onto a second roller; and transferring said ICs from the second roller onto the first structure such that each group of terminals is mounted on a respective group of contact pads.
