APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR ELECTRONIC CIRCUIT MANUFACTURE

摘要

An apparatus and method are described for use in the manufacture of non-planar circuit modules. The apparatus includes a holder for holding a non-planar circuit module, an activation source for activating one or more localised regions of a non-planar circuit module held by the holder, and positioning apparatus for providing relative movement between the activation source and a non-planar circuit module held by the holder. The relative movement between the activation source and a non-planar circuit module held by the holder includes translational movement along at least one axis and rotational movement about at least one axis. A parallel positioning machine may provide such relative movement.
