Tooling for coupling multiple electronic chips
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- bringing a material located on a body into contact with multiple chips;
hardening the material to increasingly constrain at least a portion of each of the multiple chips therewithin such that the hardened material and the multiple chips behave as a rigid body;
applying a force to the body to uniformly transfer a force from the hardened material on the body to the multiple chips to bring, under pressure, a bonding surface of each individual chip into contact with a bonding surface of an element, without causing damage to the multiple chips or the bonding surface of the element; and
removing all of the hardened material from contact with the multiple chips.

Abstract
A method for use with multiple chips, each respectively having a bonding surface including electrical contacts and a surface on a side opposite the bonding surface involves bringing a hardenable material located on a body into contact with the multiple chips, hardening the hardenable material so as to constrain at least a portion of each of the multiple chips, moving the multiple chips from a first location to a second location, applying a force to the body such that the hardened, hardenable material will uniformly transfer a vertical force, applied to the body, to the chips so as to bring, under pressure, a bonding surface of each individual chip into contact with a bonding surface of an element to which the individual chips will be bonded, at the second location, without causing damage to the individual chips, element, or bonding surface.

14. A method comprising:
-
bringing a material that is disposed on a body into contact with a plurality of chips; hardening the material to increasingly constrain at least a portion of each of the plurality of chips such that the hardened material and the plurality of chips behave as a rigid body; applying a force to the body to cause the hardened material to transfer the force from the body to the plurality of chips to thereby bond bonding surfaces of the plurality of chips to a bonding surface of an element; and removing all of the hardened material from contact with the plurality of chips. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
