Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the field of semiconductor technology, in particular to a power semiconductor aluminum wire arc process. Background Art
[0002] The production process of power semiconductor products is divided into three processes: design, manufacturing, and packaging and testing. In the WireBond stage of packaging and testing production, it is necessary to weld aluminum wire from the "pad point" of the wafer to the "lead point" of the lead frame; the aluminum wire between the two points forms a bridge-shaped arc in the air, and the shape of the arc in the air is directly related to the post-packaging and testing process. At the same time, aluminum wires of different wire diameters have different arc details due to different strengths. Therefore, the arc control process method of power semiconductor aluminum wire is very important.
[0003] The traditional aluminum wire arc process of ultrasonic aluminum wire bonding equipment is as follows: after the welding of the first welding point is completed, the welding head is lifted, and the aluminum wire is output from the wire tube. After being lifted to a certain height, according to the distance between the first and second welding points, the welding head moves obliquely downward to the second welding point, and welding is performed again; the wire arc produced by this process is relatively flat and has no ridges, which is not conducive to the post-stage detection and glue filling process.
[0004] To this end, we propose a wire arc process for power semiconductor aluminum wire. Summary of the invention
[0005] In order to make up for the deficiencies of the prior art, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a power semiconductor aluminum wire arc process, comprising the following steps:

[0016] Step 5: Finished
[0017] The space aluminum wire arc is completed.

[0021] Preferably, after the welding head moves to the position directly above the second welding spot in step 4, the distance between the second welding spot and the bottom of the welding head wrecking knife is 2 to 3 mm.
[0022] Preferably, the chopping knife is used to conduct ultrasonic waves to weld the aluminum wire and the welding point, and an ultrasonic generator and an ultrasonic transducer matching the ultrasonic generator are arranged on the top of the chopping knife.

[0026] Preferably, the aluminum wire is released by a wire feeding tube as the welding head moves, and the lead-out length of the aluminum wire is calculated based on the aluminum wire diameter, the final wire arc height, and the distance between the first welding point and the second welding point to obtain the optimal lead-out length.
[0027] Beneficial Effects
[0028] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a power semiconductor aluminum wire arc process, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0029] 1. A power semiconductor aluminum wire arc process, after the aluminum wire is welded to the first welding point by the splitter of the welding head, the welding head is raised to a certain height, and then moves obliquely, and finally moves to the top of the second welding point by a parabolic trajectory. During the movement of the welding head, the aluminum wire continuously emerges from the aluminum wire feeding tube to form an arc. The arc control needs to be calculated based on the aluminum wire diameter and the final arc height as well as the distance between the first welding point and the second welding point to obtain the optimal length of the wire. Through the movement of the welding head, the aluminum wire arc is lifted, folded and pulled in the air, so that the arc shape can be controlled.
[0030] 2. This power semiconductor aluminum wire arc process determines the lifting height of the welding head by the distance between the first welding point and the second welding point, the aluminum wire diameter and the final arc height. After the welding head is pulled and lifted to the corresponding highest point, it needs to fold downward obliquely. After the folding is completed, it needs to move to the second welding point in a parabola, and finally form the required aluminum wire arc. The shape of the arc is related to the aluminum wire diameter, the discount angle distance and the parabolic motion path. By controlling the aluminum wire diameter, the discount angle distance and the parabolic motion path, the aluminum wire arc can be formed in a controllable manner. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0034] See also Figure 1 , a power semiconductor aluminum wire arc process, comprising the following steps:
[0035] Step 1: Solder the First Solder Joint
[0036] The aluminum wire is welded to the first welding point by using the chopper 3 of the welding head;
[0037] Step 2: Solder Head Up
[0038] After the first welding spot is welded, the welding head is raised as a whole. The height of the welding head is determined by the distance between the first welding spot and the second welding spot, the diameter of the aluminum wire and the final arc height.
[0039] Step 3: Tilt
[0040] After the welding head reaches a certain height, it moves a certain distance obliquely downward to the second welding point. The oblique movement angle of the welding head is determined by the diameter of the aluminum wire and the final arc height, and the oblique movement distance depends on the distance between the first welding point and the second welding point and the final arc height.
[0041] Step 4: Move to the Solder Point
[0042] After the welding head moves a certain distance obliquely downward to the second welding point, it moves to the top of the second welding point along a parabola trajectory with the second welding point as the target;
[0043] Step 4: Soldering
[0044] After the welding head reaches 2 to 3 mm above the second welding point, it falls vertically downward, and after detecting that it contacts the upper surface of the second welding point, welding of the second welding point begins;
[0045] Step 5: Finished
[0046] The space aluminum wire arc is completed.
[0047] As an embodiment of the present invention, the splitting knife 3 is used to conduct ultrasonic waves to weld the aluminum wire and the welding point. An ultrasonic generator and an ultrasonic transducer 1 matched with the ultrasonic generator are arranged on the top of the splitting knife 3.
[0048] As an embodiment of the present invention, an aluminum wire feeding tube 2 is disposed on one side of the riving knife 3 , and the aluminum wire feeding tube 2 is close to the riving knife 3 but does not contact the riving knife 3 .
[0049] As an embodiment of the present invention, a hollow tube is provided at the bottom of the aluminum wire feeding tube 2 , and the aluminum wire passes through the hollow tube at the bottom of the aluminum wire feeding tube 2 .
[0050] As an implementation mode of the present invention, the aluminum wire extends out from the bottom of the aluminum wire feeding tube 2 , and the extended portion of the aluminum wire is located directly below the riving knife 3 .
[0051] As an embodiment of the present invention, the aluminum wire is released by a wire feeding tube as the welding head moves. The length of the aluminum wire is calculated based on the aluminum wire diameter, the final wire arc height, and the distance between the first welding point and the second welding point to obtain the optimal length of the aluminum wire.
[0052] It should be noted that after the aluminum wire is welded to the first welding point by the splitter 3 of the welding head, the welding head is raised to a certain height, and then moved obliquely, and finally moved to the top of the second welding point with a parabolic trajectory. During the movement of the welding head, the aluminum wire continuously emerges from the aluminum wire feeding tube 2 to form a wire arc. The wire arc control needs to be calculated based on the aluminum wire diameter and the final wire arc height as well as the distance between the first welding point and the second welding point to obtain the optimal wire length. The movement of the welding head makes the aluminum wire arc lift, fold and pull in the air , so that the shape of the wire arc is controllable, and the lifting height of the welding head is determined by the distance between the first welding point and the second welding point, the wire diameter of the aluminum wire and the final wire arc height. After the welding head is pulled and lifted to the corresponding highest point, it needs to be folded obliquely downward. After the folding is completed, it needs to move to the second welding point in a parabola, and finally form the required aluminum wire arc. The shape of the wire arc is related to the wire diameter of the aluminum wire, the discount angle distance, and the parabolic motion path. By controlling the wire diameter of the aluminum wire, the discount angle distance and the parabolic motion path, the aluminum wire arc can be controllably formed.
