  • Patent number: 11919256
    Abstract: A manufacturing system includes a cutting machine, an adhesion machine, and a pick-and-place system. The cutting machine sequentially cuts a continuous length of a unidirectional prepreg into prepreg segments. Each prepreg segment has an opposing pair of segment cut edges that are non-parallel to a lengthwise direction of the unidirectional prepreg. The adhesion machine has a conveyor belt and an adhesion station. The pick-and-place system sequentially picks up the prepreg segments from the cutting machine, and places the prepreg segments in end-to-end relation on the conveyor belt, and in an orientation such that the segment cut edges are generally parallel to a lengthwise direction of the conveyor belt. The conveyor belt feeds the prepreg segments to the adhesion station. The adhesion station adheres the prepreg segments to a continuous length of a backing material, thereby resulting in a continuous length of a backed cross-ply prepreg.

  • Patent number: 11735464
    Abstract: The described method enables removal of any flexible material from a temporary carrier for transfer to another surface. In particular, a semiconductor wafer is commonly held by a temporary adhesive to a carrier substrate for support during a variety of processing steps, including thinning of the semiconductor device layer. Subsequent to processing, the described method attaches the ultra-thin device layer to a roll of tape for removal from the temporary adhesive, followed by transfer to a demount roller, which then releases it onto a desired permanent surface. Utilizing the flexible nature of the ultra-thin device layer, the sequence of rollers is able to peel it from the temporary adhesive without any need for laser release processing or chemical adhesive removal while maintaining the thinned wafer in a planar form during processing. This transfer supports operations that include a change of orientation, such as from face up to face down.

  • Patent number: 11676936
    Abstract: A manufacturing method includes the step of forming a diced semiconductor wafer (10) including semiconductor chips (11) from a semiconductor wafer (W) typically on a dicing tape (T1). The diced semiconductor wafer (10) on the dicing tape (T1) is laminated with a sinter-bonding sheet (20). The semiconductor chips (11) each with a sinter-bonding material layer (21) derived from the sinter-bonding sheet (20) are picked up typically from the dicing tape (T1). The semiconductor chips (11) each with the sinter-bonding material layer are temporarily secured through the sinter-bonding material layer (21) to a substrate. Through a heating process, sintered layers are formed from the sinter-bonding material layers (21) lying between the temporarily secured semiconductor chips (11) and the substrate, to bond the semiconductor chips (11) to the substrate.

  • Patent number: 11649032
    Abstract: Interior panels for an interior of a vehicle, vehicles, and methods for making interior panels for an interior of a vehicle are provided. In one example, the interior panel includes an outer covering having a first surface exposed to the interior and a second surface disposed opposite the first surface. The second surface has a pattern formed therein that is covered by the first surface. A board assembly is disposed proximate the second surface and has a third surface facing towards the second surface. The board assembly includes a light source that is generally aligned with the pattern. An adhesive layer is disposed between the second surface and the third surface and couples the second surface and the third surface together. When the light source generates light, the light passes through the adhesive layer and the pattern to produce an illuminated pattern on the first surface.

  • Patent number: 11648762
    Abstract: A system includes a separation tool that separates a carrier wafer to form a plurality of chiplet carriers. The carrier wafer having sheets of thin film material attached. A sensor and processor of the system determine an orientation of the portions of the sheets of thin film material relative to the chiplets to determine a mapping therebetween. A fluid carrier of the system places the chiplet carriers on an assembly surface in a disordered pattern. The system includes a micro assembler that arranges the chiplet carriers from the disordered pattern to a predetermined pattern based on the mapping. A carrier of the system transfers the portions of the thin film material from the chiplet carriers to a target substrate.
