Stress Compensating Pick-up Tool

Abstract:

A stress compensating pick-up tool for aligning a companion chip with a host chip includes a tool tip and an actuator. The tool tip holds the companion chip, and includes a first tip portion and a second tip portion. The actuator applies a force to the tool tip, wherein the force causes the first tip portion and the second tip portion to rotate in opposite directions with respect to one another to optically align a portion of the companion chip with a corresponding portion of the host chip.
