Abstract:
An electronic element producing apparatus comprises a bonding tool 1 which has a first supply hole 2 for passing a bonding wire 3 used to bond a bonding pad 6 of a semiconductor device 5 and an external conductor which is to be connected electrically with the bonding pad 6, and contacts a leading end 3b of the bonding wire 3 protruded outside from the first supply hole 2 to the bonding pad 6, and which also has a second supply hole 12 to supply a bonding material to bond the bonding pad 6 and the leading end 3b of the bonding wire 3, the second supply hole 12 being formed to supply the conductive material to a contact point between the bonding wire 3 and the bonding pad 6. Therefore, the bonding pad 6 and the bonding wire 3 can be bonded without applying a dynamic or thermal load to the semiconductor device 5.
Abstract:
A fixture for use in the bonding of a plurality of chips each to a respective one of a plurality of substrates includes a lower vacuum chuck and a frame member supported on the chuck for reciprocatory motion toward and away from the chuck surface. The chuck surface is arranged to hold substrates with predeposited solder in pockets at predetermined locations thereon. The frame member has openings aligned with those pockets and weights which extend through the openings. After substrates are placed on the chuck surface, the substrates are heated so that the predeposited solder reaches eutectic status, and then chips are placed on the substrates. The frame member is then mounted on the chuck and gradually lowered until the weights press against respective chips, thereby holding the chips in position on the substrates. The entire assembly is then transported to a solder reflow bonding station.
Abstract:
An integrated circuit (IC) device is mounted onto a printed circuit board (PCB) by inducing a magnetic field of a selected strength at the surface of the PCB to temporarily hold the IC device onto the PCB. The IC device is provided with magnetic material which is attracted by the magnetic field. The magnetic field is maintained while the IC device and PCB are tested, and then subsequently during soldering when the IC device is permanently bonded to the PCB.

The invention herein relates to a kind of integrated circuit solder ball implant machine that is mainly comprised of a machine base, a solder ball implant device, a solder ball loading device, an integrated circuit component positioning device and an integrated circuit mold ejection device, the innovations of which includes the utilization of the aforesaid integrated circuit component positioning device that reciprocates leftward and rightward at the lower extent of the solder ball implant device as well as the aforesaid solder ball loading device that is vibrated forward and backward to directly transport the solder balls through the feed holes of the solder ball implant device such that each of the solder balls are reliably, accurately, soundly and expeditiously carried and positioned onto integrated circuit component in the integrated circuit component positioning device. Furthermore, when the ball implant device moves upward during utilization, the module of the aforesaid integrated circuit component positioning device is capable of horizontal movement, and thereby enables the integrated circuit component to be lifted out by the mold ejection device at a set position at the completion of the solder ball implantation onto the integrated circuit component in an operation that is simple, convenient and rapid.
Abstract:
Inspection of solder paste on a printed circuit board using a before printing image (pre-image) to normalize an after printing image (post-image) of the printed circuit board. Existing lighting and optics used for alignment of the screen printing stencil to the printed circuit board are used for the solder paste inspection. A stencil in the screen printing process is also inspected using a before printing image (pre) to normalize an after printing image (post) of the stencil.
Abstract:
Excess solder is removed from an article such as a circuit substrate or electronic component as is often required after separation of a mounted component from a substrate. A metal foil having a surface with micro-roughness is brought in contact with the solder material and heated to thereby melt the solder, allowing it to flow onto the foil surface. The foil, having the molten solder therein, is then withdrawn.
Abstract:
The present invention relates generally to a new scheme of providing a seal band for semi-conductor substrates and chip carriers. More particularly, the invention encompasses a structure and a method that uses a multi-layer metallic seal to provide protection to chips on a chip carrier. This multi-layer metal seal provides both enhanced hermeticity lifetime and environmental protection. For the preferred embodiment the multi-layer metallic seal band is a three layer, solder sandwich structure which is used to create a low cost, high reliability, hermetic seal for the module. This solder sandwich has a high melting temperature thick solder inner core, and lower melting point thin interconnecting solder layers, where the thin interconnecting solder layers may have similar or different melting points.
Abstract:
A process within substrate is provided with vias communicating with surface contacts or bumps. Joining material paste is forced through holes in a screen onto an area array of the contacts on the substrate then the screen is biased against the substrate as the paste is heated and cooled to transfer the joining material onto the contacts. Alternately, joining material paste is forced into the screen and then a substrate is placed onto the screen with an area array of bump contacts of the substrate in contact with the solder paste, and then the paste is heated and cooled to transfer the material onto the bumps. The joining material may be a solder paste, conductive adhesive paste, or transient liquid bond paste. The substrate may be a semiconductor chip substrate, flexible or rigid organic substrate, or a metal substrate coated to form a dielectric surface. Also, the substrate may be a computer chip, chip carrier substrate or a circuit board substrate. The process may be used to produce flip chips, ball grid array modules, column grid array modules, circuit boards, and attachment structures of the preceding components including information handling systems.

A method for producing interconnect structures and circuit boards including placing an area array component having connection bumps on the corresponding metal contacts on a substrate disposed on a backing plate, providing heat curable joining material in communication with the bumps and contacts, contacting a gas nozzle directly to a portion of the substrate surrounding the component to press the substrate between the nozzle and the backing plate to restrain the substrate from wrapping, heating the component, the joining material and the substrate proximate the metal contacts while maintaining the nozzle on the substrate to cure the joining material, and cooling the component, the joining material and the substrate. Selected components can also be replaced utilizing the gas nozzle for restraining the substrate from wrapping.
