Abstract

A carrier tape has a plurality of pockets longitudinally spaced with transverse bridges for accommodating microchips. The tape has a bottom wall having upright corner supports and platforms that engage and retain the microchip with a pocket and space leads connected to the microchip from the side walls, end walls and bottom wall of the tape. A cover tape is releasably attached to side flanges and bridges of the carrier tape to close the top of the pockets and retain the positions of the microchips in the pockets. A hole in the bottom wall of the tape allows optical readings to verify the position of the microchip.
