[0004] In the Mini LED manufacturing process, chip transfer technologies such as Pick & Place or sting crystal are commonly used. Micro LED chips are smaller than Mini LED chips and are the application trend for next-generation display LED chips. The number of Micro LED chips manufactured on an epitaxial wafer of the same size is several times, or even dozens of times, that of Mini LED chips. Using Pick & Place or sting crystal to transfer Micro LED chips would be extremely time-consuming and inefficient. The Micro LED manufacturing process requires the integration of mass transfer technology, that is, the rapid and accurate transfer of Micro LED chips in large quantities. When transferring a large number of Micro LED chips, it is necessary to first remove some defective chips caused by process problems. If Pick & Place or sting crystal removal is used, a more precise and smaller transfer head is required, and the efficiency is lower. Therefore, an effective solution for selective chip transfer is needed. Summary of the Invention

[0029] In order to explain the technical content, structural features, achieved objectives and effects of the present invention in detail, the following is a detailed description in conjunction with the embodiments and the accompanying drawings.
[0030] refer to Figure 1 In a first embodiment of the present invention, a chip screening and transfer method based on an optical waveguide is disclosed, comprising:
[0031] (a) A carrier substrate 10 is provided, which carries a plurality of chips 20. The chips 20 have opposing first and second surfaces. The first surfaces of the chips 20 are bonded to the carrier substrate 10 via a first adhesive layer 21. The carrier substrate 10 may be a sapphire substrate, a blue film, or other structures.
[0032] (b) providing a transfer carrier 30, said transfer carrier 30 including an optical waveguide sheet 31, with reference to Figure 9 The optical waveguide plate 31 has a light output area 302, and the light output area 302 has a plurality of light output positions 311 corresponding to the positions of the chip 20 on the carrier substrate 10, which can output preset light. The plurality of light output positions 311 are independently controllable. The first surface of the transfer carrier 30 is provided with a photosensitive adhesive layer 32. After the preset light is output from the first surface of the transfer carrier 30, the adhesive force (viscosity) of the photosensitive adhesive layer 32 corresponding to the light output position 311 can be changed.
[0033] (c) The first surface of the transfer carrier 30 is bonded to the second surface of the chip 20 via the photosensitive adhesive layer 32 , and the light emitting position 311 of the optical waveguide plate 31 is aligned with the chip 20 on the carrier substrate 10 .
[0034] (d) Obtaining the position of the preselected chip 20' on the carrier substrate 10, controlling the light output position 311 on the optical waveguide plate 31 corresponding to the position of the preselected chip 20' to output a predetermined light, the predetermined light irradiating the photosensitive adhesive layer 32 on the second surface of the preselected chip 20' to change the adhesive force of the photosensitive adhesive layer 32 on the second surface of the preselected chip 20', wherein the adhesive force of the first adhesive layer 21 is between the adhesive forces before and after the adhesive force of the photosensitive adhesive layer 32 is changed, thereby reversing the adhesive force between the first adhesive layer 21 and the photosensitive adhesive layer 32. In this embodiment, the predetermined light is UV light, and the photosensitive adhesive layer 32 is UV curable adhesive. Before the predetermined light is output, the adhesive force of the first adhesive layer 21 on the first surface of the preselected chip 20' is greater than the adhesive force of the photosensitive adhesive layer 32. After the predetermined light is output to the photosensitive adhesive layer 32 and cured, the adhesive force of the photosensitive adhesive layer 32 increases, causing the adhesive force of the photosensitive adhesive layer 32 on the second surface of the preselected chip 20' to be greater than the adhesive force of the first adhesive layer 21.
[0035] (e) The transfer carrier 30 is moved away from the carrier substrate 10. At this point, the first surfaces of the preselected chips 20' are relatively separated from the carrier substrate 10. The preselected chips 20' are bonded to the first surface of the transfer carrier 30 via the photosensitive adhesive layer 32. The second surfaces of the chips 20 other than the preselected chips 20' are separated from the first surface of the transfer carrier 30 and continue to be bonded to the carrier substrate 10. Alternatively, the entire transfer carrier 30 and carrier substrate 10 can be lifted, and then the carrier substrate 10 removed, to separate the transfer carrier 30 and carrier substrate 10.
[0036] In this embodiment, the pre-selected chips 20 ′ are the chips that are screened out and need to be transferred.
[0037] In step (d) of this embodiment, after obtaining the positions of all pre-selected chips 20' on the carrier substrate 10, the optical waveguide 31 can be controlled to simultaneously output a preset light at the light output positions 311 corresponding to the positions of all pre-selected chips 20', thereby simultaneously changing the adhesive force of the photosensitive adhesive layer 32 at all pre-selected chips 20', thereby facilitating the simultaneous screening and transfer of all pre-selected chips 20 in step (e). The position information of the pre-selected chips 20' can be provided by an automated optical inspection device, other inspection equipment, or a host computer. Of course, the positions of the pre-selected chips 20' can also be obtained in batches, and the corresponding light output positions 311 can be controlled to output the preset light in a time-dependent manner.
[0038] In this embodiment, some chips 20 are selected as pre-selected chips 20 ′. Of course, all chips 20 may also be selected as pre-selected chips 20 ′ to achieve full transfer of the chips 20 on the carrier substrate 10 .
[0039] refer to Figure 1In this embodiment, the first adhesive layer 21 is an array of adhesive dots corresponding to each of the chips 20. In other embodiments, the first adhesive layer 21 may also be coated or pasted on the entire surface of the carrier substrate 10 for bonding the chip 20.
[0040] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 6 In this embodiment, the carrying body of the transfer carrier 30 is composed of the body of the optical waveguide plate 31, the photosensitive adhesive layer 32 is formed on the light emitting position 311 of the optical waveguide plate 31, and the light emitting surface of the optical waveguide plate 31 is the first surface of the transfer carrier 30.
[0041] refer to Figure 9 and Figure 10 In this embodiment, the optical waveguide sheet 31 includes a light guide plate 303, an optical waveguide coupler, and a matrix light source 314. The light guide plate 303 contains an optical waveguide structure for light transmission. The light-emitting surface of the light guide plate 303 includes an input coupling region 301 and a light-emitting region 302. The optical waveguide coupler is located in the input coupling region 301, and a plurality of light-emitting positions 311 are located in the light-emitting region. The matrix light source 314 has light source output points corresponding to the positions of the chips 30 on the carrier substrate 10, for outputting predetermined light. The optical waveguide coupler transmits the predetermined light output by the matrix light source 314 in the input coupling region 301 to the corresponding optical waveguide structure of the light guide plate 303. The optical waveguide structure contains non-interfering optical waveguide paths 312. The optical waveguide paths 312 transmit the predetermined light input from the input coupling region 301 to the corresponding light-emitting positions 311 in the light-emitting region 302, forming light-emitting points at the light-emitting positions 311, thereby directing the light output. The structures of the optical waveguide structure and the optical waveguide coupler are well known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here. In this embodiment, the output light of the light source output point corresponding to the matrix light source 314 can be controlled according to the position of the preselected chip 20 to control which light output positions 311 output the preset light.
[0042] In this embodiment, the matrix light source 314 is an ultraviolet matrix light source, and the ultraviolet matrix light source corresponds one to one chip. Among them, one light emitting position 311 corresponds to one chip 20 or multiple chips 20, and one light emitting position 311 can form one light emitting point or multiple light emitting points. One chip 20 corresponds to one light emitting point or multiple light emitting points. When one chip 20 corresponds to one light emitting point, the adhesion of the photosensitive adhesive layer 32 at the second side of the chip 20 can be changed through one light emitting point. In some other embodiments, one chip 20 can correspond to multiple light emitting points, and the adhesion of the photosensitive adhesive layer 32 at the second side of the chip 20 can be changed through multiple light emitting points.
[0043] In this embodiment, each optical waveguide line 312 corresponds to a light output position 311 , and the present invention independently controls the light output positions 311 by mutually non-interfering optical waveguide lines.
[0044] Of course, the optical waveguide plate 31 used in the present invention is an optical waveguide plate 31 having an independently controllable light emitting position 311 corresponding to the chip 20 on the carrier substrate 10 , and is not limited to the above structure.
[0045] In this embodiment, the preset light is UV light (ultraviolet light), and the photosensitive adhesive layer 32 is a UV curing adhesive. Of course, the preset light can also be other light. In this case, the photosensitive adhesive layer 32 is cured by other glue that is sensitive to the preset light and can change its adhesive strength (viscosity).
[0046] In this embodiment, the chip 20 is an LED chip 20, such as a Micro LED or a Mini LED. Of course, the chip 20 can also be other chips.
[0047] In this embodiment, the photosensitive adhesive layer 32 fully covers the first surface of the transfer carrier 30. Of course, the photosensitive adhesive layer 32 can also only cover all the light-emitting positions 311 of the transfer carrier 30 to form a glue point array, or fully cover the light-emitting area 302 of the transfer carrier 30.
[0048] refer to Figure 2 , which is a second embodiment of the present invention, different from the first embodiment. In the second embodiment of the present invention, the preset light is UV light, and the photosensitive adhesive layer 32 is UV debonding adhesive. Before the preset light is output, the bonding force of the first adhesive layer 21 at the first surface of the preselected chip 20' is less than the bonding force of the photosensitive adhesive layer 32. After the preset light is output, the bonding force of the photosensitive adhesive layer 32 can be reduced, so that the bonding force of the first adhesive layer 21 at the first surface of the preselected chip 20' is greater than the bonding force of the photosensitive adhesive layer 32.
[0049] Therefore, unlike the first embodiment, after the transfer carrier 30 is relatively separated from the carrier substrate 10 in step (e), the first surfaces of the chips 20 other than the pre-selected chip 20' are separated from the carrier substrate 10 and bonded to the transfer carrier 30, and the second surfaces of the pre-selected chip 20' are separated from the first surface of the transfer carrier 30 and remain bonded to the first surface of the carrier substrate 10.
[0050] In this embodiment, the pre-selected chips 20 ′ are chips that need to be retained, and the chips other than the pre-selected chips 20 ′ are screened chips that need to be transferred.
[0051] refer to Figure 3 , which is the third embodiment of the present invention. Unlike the above embodiments, in this embodiment, the photosensitive adhesive layer 32 is provided on the first surface of the transfer carrier 30 in the form of a matrix of adhesive dots. This configuration of the photosensitive adhesive layer 32 can also be used in the following other embodiments, not limited to the first and second embodiments.
[0052] refer to Figure 4 and Figure 7 This is a fourth embodiment of the present invention. Unlike the first embodiment, in this embodiment, the transfer carrier 30a further comprises a transparent substrate 33 having a first surface and a second surface opposite to each other. The photosensitive adhesive layer 32 is provided on the first surface of the transparent substrate 33, and the optical waveguide sheet 31 is provided separately from the second surface of the transparent substrate 33. The first surface of the transparent substrate 33 serves as the first surface of the transfer carrier 30a.
[0053] In this embodiment, the transparent substrate 33 is a glass substrate. Of course, the transparent substrate 33 may also be other transparent substrates.
[0054] refer to Figure 4 In step (c), during operation, the second surface of the transparent substrate 33 can be aligned and assembled with the light-emitting side of the optical waveguide plate 31, and then the first surface of the transparent substrate 33 can be adhered to the second surface of the chip 20. Alternatively, the first surface of the transparent substrate 33 can be adhered to the second surface of the chip 20, and then the second surface of the transparent substrate 33 can be aligned and assembled with the light-emitting side of the optical waveguide plate 31.
[0055] In this embodiment, the predetermined light is light that increases the adhesion of the photosensitive adhesive layer 32. In step (d), the predetermined light is output from the light output position 311 on the optical waveguide 31 corresponding to the position of the preselected chip 20' to increase the adhesion of the photosensitive adhesive layer 32, thereby ensuring that the adhesion of the first adhesive layer 21 on the first surface of the preselected chip 20' is less than the adhesion of the photosensitive adhesive layer 32.
[0056] In step (e), the first surface of the transfer carrier 30 is separated from the carrier substrate 10 , and the optical waveguide sheet 31 and the transparent substrate 33 can be moved simultaneously or sequentially.
[0057] Of course, reference Figure 8 In the transfer carrier 30 c , the optical waveguide plate 31 and the transparent substrate 33 may also be fixed together, and the light emitting surface of the optical waveguide plate 31 faces the second surface of the transparent substrate 33 .
[0058] refer to Figure 5 , which is the fifth embodiment of the present invention, discloses a chip screening and transfer method based on an optical waveguide, comprising:
[0059] (a) A transfer carrier 30 is provided with a plurality of chips 20 bonded thereto. The chips 20 have first and second opposing surfaces. The first surfaces of the plurality of chips 20 are bonded to the first surface of the transfer carrier 30 via a photosensitive adhesive layer 32. The structure of the transfer carrier 30 is as described above, and light-emitting positions 311 on the transfer carrier 30 correspond to positions of the chips 20, respectively.
[0060] (b) Providing a transfer substrate 40 , wherein a second adhesive layer 34 is disposed on a first surface of the transfer substrate 40 .
[0061] (c) Bonding the first surface of the transfer substrate 40 to the second surface of the chip 20 via the second adhesive layer 34 .
[0062] (d) The position of the preselected chip 20' on the transfer carrier 30 is obtained, and a light output position 311 on the optical waveguide plate 31 corresponding to the position of the preselected chip 20' is controlled to output a predetermined light. The predetermined light is irradiated onto the photosensitive adhesive layer 32 on the first surface of the preselected chip 20' to change the adhesive force of the photosensitive adhesive layer 32 on the first surface of the preselected chip 20', thereby changing the adhesive force of the second adhesive layer 34 between the adhesive forces before and after the adhesive force of the photosensitive adhesive layer 32 is changed, thereby reversing the adhesive force between the second adhesive layer 34 and the photosensitive adhesive layer 32. In this embodiment, the predetermined light is UV light, and the photosensitive adhesive layer 32 is a UV debonding adhesive. Before the predetermined light is output, the adhesive force of the second adhesive layer 34 on the second surface of the preselected chip 20' is less than the adhesive force of the photosensitive adhesive layer 32. After the predetermined light is output and cured, the predetermined light reduces the adhesive force of the photosensitive adhesive layer 32 and causes the adhesive force of the photosensitive adhesive layer 32 on the first surface of the preselected chip 20' to be less than the adhesive force of the second adhesive layer 34.
[0063] (e) The transfer substrate 40 is moved in a direction away from the transfer carrier 30 (or vice versa). At this time, the first surface of the pre-selected chip 20' is separated from the transfer carrier 30 and bonded to the transfer substrate 40. The second surfaces of the chips 20 other than the pre-selected chip 20' are separated from the first surface of the transfer substrate 40 and continue to be bonded to the carrier substrate 10.
[0064] In this embodiment, the pre-selected chips 20 ′ are the chips that are screened out and need to be transferred.
[0065] Of course, in another embodiment, the photosensitive adhesive layer 32 may also be a UV-curing adhesive. Before the preset light is output, the bonding force of the second adhesive layer 34 on the second surface of the preselected chip 20' is greater than the bonding force of the photosensitive adhesive layer 32. After the preset light is output, the preset light increases the bonding force of the photosensitive adhesive layer 32 and causes the bonding force of the photosensitive adhesive layer 32 on the first surface of the preselected chip 20' to be greater than the bonding force of the second adhesive layer 34. At this time, the transfer substrate 40 is moved away from the transfer carrier 30 (or conversely, the transfer carrier 30 is moved away from the transfer substrate 40). The first surfaces of the chips 20 other than the preselected chip 20' are separated from the first surface of the transfer carrier 30 and bonded to the transfer substrate 40. The second surfaces of the preselected chips 20' are separated from the first surface of the transfer substrate 40 and continue to be bonded to the transfer carrier 30. In the embodiment where the photosensitive adhesive layer 32 is a UV-curing adhesive, the preselected chips 20' are the chips that have been screened out and do not need to be transferred.
[0066] The above disclosure is only the preferred embodiment of the present invention, which certainly cannot be used to limit the scope of the present invention. Therefore, equivalent changes made according to the scope of the patent application of the present invention are still within the scope of the present invention.
