Application: Apparatuses for handling microelectronic devices (Patent ID: US20240139940A1)
The patent filed by Micron Technology Inc. describes an apparatus for handling microelectronic devices that includes a pick arm with a pick surface for receiving a device, drives for moving and reorienting the pick arm in multiple planes, and a sensor device to detect force applied between the pick surface and structures or devices. The apparatus also includes a controller to adjust the orientation of the device based on the sensor's feedback, ensuring proper handling and alignment.
The apparatus comprises multiple sensors aligned on the control arm to detect predetermined conditions of the microelectronic device, with the controller capable of redirecting movement based on sensor signals. The sensors can detect misalignment, force magnitude, and contact points between the control arm, microelectronic devices, and structures. Additionally, the apparatus includes features such as vacuum ports, drive devices, and acoustic sensors to enhance the handling and monitoring of microelectronic devices during the transfer process, ensuring accurate and safe movement between locations.
