Abstract
Magnetic regions of at least one of chiplet or a receiving substrate are used to permit magnetically guided precision placement of chiplets on the receiving substrate. In some embodiments, a scanning magnetic head can be used to release individual chiplets from a temporary support substrate to the receiving substrate. Structures are provided in which a magnetic moment of a controlled orientation exists between the transferred chiplets and the receiving substrate.
Claims23
A method of forming a structure, the method comprising:
- providing, in any order, a first structure comprising a plurality of chiplets located on a surface of a temporary support substrate, and a second structure comprising a plurality of bond pads located on a surface of a receiving substrate;
- bringing the first and second structures into proximity to each other;
- and
- transferring a preselected number of chiplets of the first structure to the bond pads of the second structure utilizing magnetic force of attraction.
A structure comprises:
- a first set of chiplets positioned on a first set of bond pads present on a display substrate, wherein a magnetic moment of a control orientation is present between each chiplet of the first set of chiplets and each bond pad of the first set of bond pads.
