  • Publication number: 20230187258
    Abstract: [Object] Provided are a stamp tool whose transport head can be easily shared, a transport device capable of allowing the stamp tool to easily pick up an transport object element disposed on a surface of a substrate from the substrate and transporting the element without being left on the substrate side, and an element array manufacturing method using the same. [Solution] A stamp tool 10 includes a stamp layer 12 allowing an element 32r as an transport object element to detachably adhere thereto, a support plate 14 to which the stamp layer 12 is fixed, and an adapter plate 16 having a mounting surface 16a, the support plate 14 being replaceably attached thereto, and a transport head 22 being allowed to be detachably attached thereon.

  • Publication number: 20230140856
    Abstract: A stamp tool holding device capable of holding a stamp tool while keeping a stamp surface of the stamp tool clean, a stamp tool positioning device that easily positions a stamp tool with respect to a transport head, a multi-element transfer device for efficiently transferring a transport object element such as an element using a stamp tool, and a method of manufacturing an element array using the same, wherein the stamp tool holding device has an installation stage on which a stamp tool is detachably installed. The installation stage has an installation surface on which a housing recess for accommodating a stamp layer of the stamp tool is formed, and a suction hole capable of detachably adsorbing a part of the stamp tool located around the stamp layer is formed on the installation surface.

  • Patent number: 11267071
    Abstract: An ultrasonic bonding head includes a vibrator unit, a holder, and a pressurizing shaft. The vibrator unit includes a press part formed at a tip of the vibrator unit in a longitudinal axis thereof and configured to press a bonding scheduled part to be bonded. The holder holds a base of the vibrator unit in a cantilever manner so that the tip is a free end. The pressurizing shaft is connected with the holder and transmits a force of pressing the press part against the bonding scheduled part so that the vibrator unit moves substantially perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis. The holder is provided with a restraint portion. The restraint portion contacts with the vibrator unit at a counterforce dispersion position located between a main hold position for holding the vibrator unit by the holder and the free end.

  • Patent number: 10162137
    Abstract: A mounting apparatus for mounting an optical element on a wiring board having a reflecting mirror part of an optical waveguide on its back side comprises a mounting table that supports the wiring board by a holding area, a mounting nozzle that holds the optical element and mounts it on the wiring board, a light source that emits light for illuminating the reflecting mirror part by transmission through the holding area, an image pickup apparatus that captures a transmitted light image of the reflecting mirror part, and a control apparatus that determines a mounting position of the optical element based on the transmitted light image, thereby achieving high density mounting without providing a light introducing part for positioning in mounting the optical axis.
