Embodiment Construction

[0022] Semiconductor component manipulators are also known as component flippers or sorters, which are basic tools in the semiconductor industry. The speed and efficiency of component manipulators are important factors that determine the productivity of semiconductor equipment and company revenue. Semiconductor component manipulators currently used in the semiconductor industry typically have many drawbacks. For example, many semiconductor component manipulators cannot manipulate more than one component at any given time. In addition, a typical multi-station rotary manipulator as described in the background art cannot move components between loading and unloading along the first axis. The lack of advancement of the first axis of the component typically requires a loading arm to travel an increased distance during the transfer of the component from the unloading position to the take-up assembly. In turn, this increased distance increases the time required for the loading arm t...

Abstract

A handler for component handling. Trie handler preferably comprises a carriage, a first arm, a second arm and a cam. The carriage is rotatably displaceable about a rotational axis. The first arm and the second arm are movably coupled to the carriage. Each arm is further coupled to an end effector and a follower. Each arm is disp Jaceable relative the carriage for positioning the coupled end effector between a first circumcircle and a second circumcircle. The end effector grips a component and transfers the component from a first position and the second position. The cam defines a pathway. The follower engages with the pathway. The pathway is profiled for controlling displacement of the arm and position of the end effector during travel of the follower along the pathway of the cam. A component handling method using the handler is also disclosed.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of semiconductors. In particular, the present invention relates to a handling device that can be used in the component semiconductor industry for handling components. Background technique [0002] Semiconductor integrated circuits (ICs) are typically manufactured in wafer form or in package form. After the fabrication process, each wafer or package is typically sigulated into multiple components. Preferably, these components are semiconductor components. Optionally, these components include plastic packages, quad flat no lead (QFN) or ball grid arrays (BGA). These components typically go through multiple handling, inspection and manipulation steps before they are ready to be packaged and distributed from the semiconductor facility for subsequent sale. [0003] It is important that the multiple processing, detection and manipulation steps are performed quickly and precisely. Tape and reel assemblies are t...
