Since first LED (Light Emitting Diode) was invented in 1960s, LED has been going through a rapid period of
development in revolutionizing the lighting technology and energy saving effort. Its applications become
more widespread in numerous product segments in last decade.

There are 2 trends which affect size and shape of LED:
In order to get stronger emitting light, certain amounts LED chips are concentrate into integrated lighting source. This leads to larger
size of unit package of single LED.
Need relatively deep pocket and high volume / productivity support with 3M unique technology.
2 Thanks to smart phone and portable devices technology
development, requirement of components size, on the other hand,
is getting dwindled.
To serve the increasingly small LED sizes and the necessity of
production efficiency at packaging as well as pick and place levels,
the market demands a higher precision standard and ESD protection
of component carrier tape, simple and easy processing requirements.
Those trends call for much precise and high requirement solution.
3M, being a pioneer in supplying carrier and cover tapes, provides
the best option in managing LED component transportation.

Not only the volume demand for LED components has grown significantly, the requirements on LED has also
raised associated with the end products development.

3M Component Transport System Solution Recommendations
Features and Benefits of 3M Component Transport Products to fulfill requirements for LED component packaging
Wide Range of Offerings – Carrier Tape 3000 is available in various specifications including Standard, Precision, Ultra Precision
and for clean room applications.
Highly Precision – very precise pocket dimension with our unique manufacturing process that allows tolerance as low as
± 0.03mm. Components are assured of secure fit and free from migration and flipping issues.
Long Length Roll – typically in 500m to as long as 2000m depend on pocket depth and pitch. Our long meter per roll offering
is distinctive in market that helps reducing your changeover time and delivering you competitiveness via speed.
Stable Peel Force – 3M cover tapes are specifically designed to ensure good compatibility with 3M carriers. Desirable
adhesion and stable peel force can be easily achieved with appropriate pressure and/or heat and maintain in aging tests at
different environments in supporting various customers’ locations.
Bakable – our PC can withstand high temperature up to 125oC (257oF) which is appropriate for most
baking after component packaging is done to remove moisture in LED application.
Pocket depth – PC characteristic allows better forming result and relatively deep pocket which fits
LED perfectly compare to other material.
Depends on specific needs, we divide the solutions into 3 basic categories differentiating by the use of different adhesive based or design of
cover tapes. Each category represents a distinctive experience in sealing and peeling performance.
Why 3M?
Less machine compact
Good peeling forceLow sealing temperature
What is UPC? (Ultra Precision Carrier)
Ultra Precision Pocket:
Tighter (Ao, Bo, Ko) dimensional tolerances of ± 0.03mm
Small pocket hole diameter of 0.20 mm
Draft angle of < 2˚
Advantage of PC material based carrier tape compare to traditional PS, PET and PVC.
Features of 3M unique solution – UPC + UCT
What is UCT? (Universal Cover Tape)
UCT advantages:
Peeling force – Best in market
Room temp sealing High transmission
Good resistivity performance
Peel force:
