Carrier tape for an integrated circuit device

Abstract

A carrier tape for an IC device includes a slot for receiving the IC device. The slot is defined by a bottom wall and two pairs of opposite sidewalls. The sidewalls are substantially vertical to the bottom wall. A bevel wall located between the bottom wall and one of the sidewalls.

What is claimed is:  
     
         1 . A carrier tape for an integrated circuit (IC) device, comprising: 
 a slot for receiving the IC device, the slot being defined by a bottom wall, and two pairs of opposite sidewalls substantially vertical to the bottom wall; and    at least one bevel wall located between the bottom wall and one of the sidewalls.    
     
     
         2 . The carrier tape for the IC device according to  claim 1 , wherein the IC device comprises a plurality of pins with an extension direction, and the bevel wall is perpendicular to the extension direction of the pins.  
     
     
         3 . The carrier tape for the IC device according to  claim 1 , further comprising: 
 a projection at the bottom of the slot for supporting the IC device at a pertinent height.
