First Claim
Patent Images
1. A mass transfer tool manipulator assembly, comprising:
- a housing;
a tip-tilt-z flexure including a top flexure component, a bottom flexure component, and a flexible coupling connecting the top flexure component with the bottom flexure component, wherein the top flexure component joins with the housing;
an actuator assembly operably coupled with the bottom flexure component, wherein actuation of the actuator assembly moves the bottom flexure component relative to the top flexure component; and
a micro pick up array mount having a pivot platform coupled with a compliant element, and a displacement sensor integrated with the compliant element, wherein the micro pick up array mount is coupled with the bottom flexure component.

Abstract
Systems and methods for transferring a micro device from a carrier substrate are disclosed. In an embodiment, a mass transfer tool manipulator assembly allows active alignment between an array of electrostatic transfer heads on a micro pick up array and an array of micro devices on a carrier substrate. Displacement of a compliant element of the mass transfer tool manipulator assembly may be sensed to control alignment between the array of electrostatic transfer heads and the array of micro devices.
