Abstract

See full text

The present invention provides a low cost carrier tape designed to store chips during transportation. The invention comprises a carrier tape which contains receptacle holes designed to secure chips onto the carrier tape by clasping onto the chip's electrical contacts. The receptacle holes prevent the chip from rotating and physically moving. The receptacle holes are formed in patterns to match the standardized electrical contact patterns of flip chip families. The diameters of the receptacle holes may be sized slightly smaller than the diameter of electrical contacts such that a chip is secured by 'snap-fitting' each electrical contact into a receptacle hole. Relief slits may be formed on the edges of the receptacle holes to facilitate the 'snap-fitting' of electrical contacts into receptacle holes.
