HIGH-YIELD FABRICATION OF LARGE-FORMAT SUBSTRATES WITH DISTRIBUTED, INDEPENDENT CONTROL ELEMENTS
First Claim
1. A method of assembling integrated circuit elements on a receiving substrate, the method comprising:
- providing a wafer having a plurality of chiplets thereon;
determining that at least one of the chiplets on the wafer is defective;
selectively removing the at least one of the chiplets from the wafer leaving remaining ones of the chiplets on the wafer;
transferring the remaining ones of the chiplets from the wafer onto the receiving substrate to define at least one empty chiplet location on the receiving substrate; and
transferring at least one additional chiplet onto to the at least one empty chiplet location on the receiving substrate.

Abstract
A large-format substrate with distributed control elements is formed by providing a substrate and a wafer, the wafer having a plurality of separate, independent chiplets formed thereon; imaging the wafer and analyzing the wafer image to determine which of the chiplets are defective; removing the defective chiplet(s) from the wafer leaving remaining chiplets in place on the wafer; printing the remaining chiplet(s) onto the substrate forming empty chiplet location(s); and printing additional chiplet(s) from the same or a different wafer into the empty chiplet location(s).
