👉 Punch engineering is a technique used in the manufacturing of electronic components, particularly in the semiconductor industry, to precisely position and align tiny mechanical elements, often referred to as "punches," on a wafer surface. This process involves creating microscopic indentations or holes in a material, usually silicon, that guide the placement of other components with high precision. By carefully designing these punches, engineers can ensure that each component is accurately aligned and positioned, facilitating the assembly of complex integrated circuits. This method enhances manufacturing efficiency, reduces errors, and improves the overall performance and reliability of electronic devices by enabling precise control over the placement of critical components.
