Abstract

In the interest of enhanced yield in the manufacture of "wafer-scale" integrated circuits an assembly of integrated circuit chips is made by placing chips on a substrate. Chips have beveled edges as produced by crystallographically anisotropic chemical etching, and the substrate has wells, grooves, or openings having sloping walls. Chips are positioned on the substrate by bringing sloping walls and beveled edges in juxtaposition, and circuitry on chips is connected to circuitry on the substrate.
