Apparatuses and methods related to the field of microchip assembly and handling, in particular to devices and methods for assembling and handling microchips manufactured with solid edge-to-edge interconnects, such as Quilt Packaging® interconnect technology. Specialized assembly tools are configured to pick up one or more microchips, place the microchips in a specified location aligned to a substrate, package, or another microchip, and facilitate electrical contact through one of a variety of approaches, including solder reflow. This specialized assembly tooling performs heating functions to reflow solder to establish electrical and mechanical interconnections between multiple microchips. Additionally, the interconnected microchips may be arranged in an arbitrarily large array. |
