Abstract

Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of chip manufacturing technology, and in particular to a Micro-LED laser processing system. Background Technology
[0002] In related technologies, the fabrication process of Micro-LEDs generally involves bonding chips onto a substrate. Before bonding, the substrate is mounted on a stage, and the chip is mounted on the stage. After the stage is positioned and attached to the substrate, the chip is bonded to the substrate. However, in the above process, deviations can easily occur in the bonding and positioning of the stage and the substrate, or the substrate can deform due to excessively high bonding temperature when the chip is bonded to the substrate. This can lead to incorrect chip bonding positions, making it difficult to meet the bonding precision requirements of Micro-LEDs and resulting in a reduction in the processing quality of Micro-LEDs.

[0055] Reference Figures 1 to 14 The first aspect of this invention provides a Micro-LED laser processing system, including a machine tool body 100, a fixed platform 200, a pressing mechanism 300, a laser head 700, and a CCD camera 800. The fixed platform 200 is connected to the machine tool body 100 and includes a first support member 220 and an adjustment device 230. The first support member 220 has a first support surface 221 for supporting a substrate 500, and the adjustment device 230 is used to adjust the flatness of the first support surface 221. A pressing mechanism 300 is connected to the machine tool body 100. The pressing mechanism 300 is movable along the X-axis and Z-axis. The pressing mechanism 300 includes a pressing component 340, an adsorption component 330, and a connecting assembly 310. Both the pressing component 340 and the adsorption component 330 are connected to the connecting assembly 310. The pressing component 340 is used to press the carrier plate 600, and the adsorption component 330 is used to adsorb the carrier plate 600. The pressing mechanism 300 can adsorb the carrier plate 600 and press it onto the substrate 500. A laser head 700 is connected to the machine tool body 100 and positioned above the first support component 220. The laser head 700 is movable along the X-axis and can emit laser light towards the fixed platform 200. A CCD camera 800 is connected to the machine tool body 100 and positioned above the first support component 220. The CCD camera 800 is movable along the X-axis.
[0056] The fixed platform 200 can support the substrate 500 and adjust the flatness of the first support surface 221. The CCD camera 800 is positioned above the first support 220 and can identify the position of the substrate 500 on the fixed platform 200. The pressing mechanism 300 includes a pressing member 340 and an adsorption member 330. After adsorbing the carrier plate 600, the adsorption member 330 moves above the first support 220. With the assistance of the CCD camera 800, the carrier plate 600 is lowered and attached to the substrate 500, ensuring the correct attachment position of the carrier plate 600 and the substrate 500. Subsequently, the pressing member 340 of the pressing mechanism 300 presses the carrier plate 600 onto the substrate 500 and keeps it pressed during the welding process. This can reduce the deformation of the carrier plate 600 caused by the high temperature during welding to a certain extent, ensure the accurate chip welding position, and improve the chip welding quality.
[0057] Specifically, each mechanism in the Micro-LED laser processing system is driven by a drive unit. When controlling the movement in the X and Y axes, the drive unit can be a linear motor module or a motor.
[0058] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 8 In some embodiments, the fixed platform 200 further includes a base 210, a first support member 220 connected to the base 210, the first support member 220 having a first support surface 221 for supporting the substrate 500, a plurality of adsorption holes 222 for adsorbing the substrate 500, and an adjustment device 230 disposed between the base 210 and the first support member 220. The adjustment device 230 includes a movable member 231 and an adjustment member 232. The movable member 231 is connected to the first support member 220, and the adjustment member 232 can drive the movable member 231 to move so that the first support member 220 moves closer to or further away from the adjustment member 232. After the substrate 500 is placed on the first bearing surface 221, the moving part 231 is driven to move by the adjusting part 232 of the adjusting device 230 to level the substrate 500, so that the chip on the carrier 600 is tightly attached to the substrate 500, which enables the chip to be correctly soldered to the substrate 500 and ensures the processing quality of the product.
[0059] Specifically, the adjusting device 230 further includes a first mounting member 234, which has a mounting cavity 235 and a mounting hole 236. The mounting cavity 235 is horizontally oriented, and the mounting hole 236 is vertically oriented and communicates with the mounting cavity 235. An adjusting member 232 passes through the mounting cavity 235 and has a guide surface 233. A movable member 231 passes through the mounting hole 236 and protrudes into the mounting cavity 235. The movable member 231 abuts against the guide surface 233 of the adjusting member 232. The guide surface 233 is inclined so that when the movable member 231 moves along the extension direction of the mounting cavity 235, the movable member 231 also moves up and down accordingly, thereby adjusting the position of the first bearing member 220 in the vertical direction. Alternatively, the adjusting device 230 can provide an elastic bearing in the mounting cavity 235, and adjust the compression of the elastic bearing by adjusting the adjusting member 232 to adjust the position of the first bearing member 220 in the vertical direction.
[0060] Reference Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 In some embodiments, the first carrier 220 is further provided with a heating cavity 225, and the fixing platform 200 further includes a heating element 280, which is housed in the heating cavity 225 and is used to heat the first carrier surface 221. Specifically, before the substrate 500 is moved to the fixing platform 200, solder is pre-applied to the welding area of the substrate 500. When the substrate 500 is adsorbed and fixed to the first carrier 220, the heating element 280 heats the first carrier surface 221 to transfer heat to the substrate 500, thereby melting the solder pre-applied on the substrate 500. Subsequently, the carrier plate 600 is attached to the substrate 500 so that the chip on the carrier plate 600 is in full contact with the solder. Then, the chip can be soldered and fixed to the substrate 500 through welding. Before the carrier plate 600 is pressed, the substrate 500 needs to be preheated for 30 to 90 seconds at a preheating temperature of 60°C to 90°C. In addition, for example, when using laser welding, the high welding temperature can easily cause the substrate 500 to deform. Preheating the substrate 500 to bring it closer to the welding temperature reduces the degree of deformation of the substrate 500 due to thermal expansion and contraction.
[0061] Reference Figure 7In some embodiments, the fixed platform 200 includes multiple heating elements 280, a first support member 220 is provided with multiple heating cavities 225, a first side surface 226 is provided with multiple heating ports 2261, each heating port 2261 corresponds to a heating cavity 225, and the multiple heating ports 2261 are spaced apart along the X-axis. One end of each heating cavity 225 is connected to a heating port 2261, and the other end of the heating cavity 225 extends towards the Y-axis. The heating elements pass through the corresponding heating ports 2261 and are housed in the heating cavities 225. The multiple heating elements housed in the corresponding heating cavities 225 are also spaced apart along the X-axis, thereby enabling uniform heating of the first support member 220 and controllable heating temperature. In addition, one end of the heating cavity 225 is connected to the heating port 2261, and the other end of the heating cavity 225 extends in the Y-axis direction, which makes the heating cavity 225 easy to process. Only a hole needs to be drilled in the Y-axis direction on the first side 226, which reduces the manufacturing difficulty.
[0062] Reference Figure 6 In some embodiments, the first support member 220 is provided with a first side surface 226, the first side surface 226 is provided with a heating port 2261, the heating cavity 225 is connected to the heating port 2261, and the heating member 280 is provided with multiple extensions 281 and multiple bends 282. The multiple extensions 281 are spaced apart along the X-axis, and the bends 282 connect adjacent extensions 281. By providing multiple extensions 281 and bends 282 connecting adjacent extensions 281, the heating member 280 can have a larger contact area with the first support member 220 when it is placed in the heating cavity 225, and the heating of the first support surface 221 will be more uniform. Compared with the above embodiments that use multiple heating members 280, this embodiment only requires one heating member 280 to heat the first support surface 221, which makes the temperature control more precise and easier.
[0063] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5In some embodiments, the first bearing surface 221 is further provided with a plurality of adsorption holes 222. The adsorption holes 222 are used to adsorb the substrate 500 to prevent the substrate 500 from shifting during processing and affecting the processing accuracy. The first bearing member 220 is provided with a plurality of adsorption cavities 223. The plurality of adsorption cavities 223 are spaced apart along the Y-axis direction. The adsorption cavities 223 correspond to and communicate with the plurality of adsorption holes 222. The first bearing member 220 is also provided with a connecting cavity 224. The connecting cavity 224 communicates with each adsorption cavity 223 and forms an exhaust port 2262 on the outer wall of the first bearing member 220. The exhaust port 2262 is used to discharge the air in the adsorption cavity 223 to form a negative pressure at the adsorption hole 222 to adsorb the substrate 500. Specifically, the first bearing surface 221 is provided with a plurality of adsorption groups. The adsorption group includes a plurality of adsorption holes 222 spaced apart along the X-axis direction. The plurality of adsorption groups are spaced apart along the Y-axis direction. Each adsorption group corresponds one-to-one with each adsorption cavity 223. The above arrangement allows the adsorption holes 222 to be evenly distributed on the adsorption surface, thereby making the adsorption state of the substrate 500 on the adsorption surface more stable and ensuring that the substrate 500 does not become weaker than the adsorption surface during the welding process. An exhaust port 2262 is located on the first side surface 226, and a connecting cavity 224 extends from the first side surface 226 along the Y-axis and connects to each adsorption cavity 223, allowing air in each adsorption cavity 223 to be discharged through the connecting cavity 224 and the exhaust port 2262, thus generating adsorption force at the adsorption holes 222. The fixed platform 200 also includes a first connector 270, which is connected to the first support member 220 and located at the exhaust port 2262. The first connector 270 is connected to a vacuum source, thereby enabling the air in each adsorption cavity 223 to be discharged.
[0064] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the fixed platform 200 further includes a connector 241 and a first drive member 242. The connector 241 is connected to the end of the adjusting device 230 away from the first support member 220. The first drive member 242 is disposed between the connector 241 and the base 210 and is used to drive the connector 241 to rotate. Since the substrate 500 may be misaligned when placed on the first support member 220, the first drive member 242 is needed to drive the connector 241 to rotate so that the substrate 500 is aligned, facilitating the corresponding pressing of the carrier plate 600 and the substrate 500. The angle at which the first drive member 242 drives the connector 241 to rotate can be determined by the CCD camera 800.
[0065] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3In some embodiments, the fixed platform 200 further includes two opposing sensors 251 and sensing elements 252. The sensors 251 are connected to the base 210, and the sensing elements 252 are connected to the connector 241 and positioned between the two sensors 251. The two opposing sensors 251 limit the rotation range of the connector 241 driven by the first drive element 242, preventing the rotating element from rotating without restriction and damaging the wiring connected to the heating element 280 and the pipe connected to the first connector 270. Specifically, the two sensors 251 limit the rotation angle of the connector 241 driven by the first drive element 242 to within 14°. The first drive element 242 can be selected as a DD motor.
[0066] Reference Figure 4 In some embodiments, the fixing platform 200 further includes a first positioning member 260, which is connected to the first support member 220. The first positioning member 260 is provided with a first positioning surface 261 and a second positioning surface 262. The first positioning surface 261 and the second positioning surface 262 are connected and perpendicular to each other. The first positioning surface 261 is parallel to the X-axis direction, and the second positioning surface 262 is parallel to the Y-axis direction. The first positioning member 260 is used to position the substrate 500 on the first support surface 221. Specifically, the substrate 500 is a cuboid, and its two perpendicular sidewalls abut against the first positioning surface 261 and the second positioning surface 262, thereby determining the position of the substrate 500 on the first support surface 221, which facilitates the pressing of the carrier plate 600.
[0067] Reference Figure 2 In some embodiments, the fixed platform 200 includes at least three adjustment devices 230, and these three adjustment devices 230 are not collinear, thereby enabling adjustment of the flatness of the substrate 500. Specifically, when three adjustment devices 230 are provided, their connection forms a triangle, allowing adjustment of the movable part 231 of the last adjustment device 230 after the movable parts 231 of the two leveling devices are at the same height. When four adjustment devices 230 are provided, each of the four adjustment devices corresponds to one of the four corners of the first support member 220, providing better load-bearing capacity and improved load-bearing stability compared to three adjustment devices 230. The adjustment accuracy in this embodiment can reach 2 micrometers.
[0068] Reference Figure 4In some embodiments, the fixed platform 200 further includes a first positioning member 260, which is connected to the first support member 220. The first positioning member 260 is provided with a first positioning surface 261 and a second positioning surface 262. The first positioning surface 261 and the second positioning surface 262 are connected and perpendicular to each other. The first positioning surface 261 is parallel to the X-axis direction, and the second positioning surface 262 is parallel to the Y-axis direction. The positioning member is used to position the substrate 500 on the first support surface 221.
[0069] Reference Figures 9 to 13 In some embodiments, the pressing mechanism 300 further includes a connecting component 310 and a mounting component 320. The connecting component 310 is used to connect the machine tool body 100. The mounting component 320 has a first end face 321 and a second end face 322 disposed opposite to each other along the Z-axis direction, and a side surface connecting the first end face 321 and the second end face 322. The first end face 321 is connected to the connecting component 310, and the adsorption member 330 is connected to the second end face 322. The mounting component 320 is provided with a first opening 328, which communicates with the first end face 321 and the second end face 322. The pressing member 340 is connected to the mounting component 320 and corresponds to the first opening 328. The pressing member 340 protrudes from the second end face 322.
[0070] The pressing mechanism 300 can adsorb the carrier plate 600 through the adsorption member 330. After the carrier plate 600 is placed on the substrate 500, since the pressing member 340 protrudes from the second end face 322, the pressing mechanism 300 can press the carrier plate 600 tightly onto the substrate 500 through the pressing member 340, so that the carrier plate 600 and the substrate 500 abut against each other and are subjected to uniform force. Then, the welding process is carried out to weld the chip on the carrier plate 600 to the substrate 500. The pressure applied by the pressing member 340 to the carrier plate 600 can reduce the deformation of the carrier plate 600 caused by the high temperature during welding to a certain extent, and ensure the welding quality of the chip.
[0071] Specifically, the chip is attached to one side of the carrier plate 600 via silicone, while the adsorption member 330 adsorbs the other side of the carrier plate 600. The pressing mechanism 300 can be connected to the machine tool and driven by a drive device provided on the machine tool. The drive device can be provided with two drive members to drive the pressing mechanism 300 to move in the X-axis and Z-axis directions respectively, moving the carrier plate 600 to contact the substrate 500. At the same time, a certain amount of force is applied to the carrier plate 600 to ensure that the chip and the solder pre-placed on the substrate 500 are in full contact and the force on the carrier plate 600 is uniform, and then welding is performed. When laser welding is used, both the pressing member 340 and the carrier plate 600 are made of transparent material, so that the laser beam can pass through the pressing member 340 through the first opening 328 and enter the carrier plate 600, acting on the position where the chip and the substrate 500 are in contact, melting the solder and fixing the chip and the substrate 500 together. Subsequently, the driving device drives the carrier plate 600 to move away from the substrate 500 along the Z-axis direction, so that the carrier plate 600 is separated from the chip to obtain the product.
[0072] Reference Figure 9 and Figure 10 In some embodiments, the mounting component 320 includes a second mounting member 323 and a third mounting member 327. The second mounting member 323 is provided with a second opening 324 and a plurality of first mounting slots 325. The first mounting slots 325 are connected to the second opening 324. The third mounting member 327 is provided with a main body portion 3271 and a plurality of mounting portions 3272. The main body portion 3271 connects to each mounting portion 3272. The main body portion 3271 defines a first opening 328. The second opening 324 is larger than the first opening 328. Each mounting portion 3272 corresponds one-to-one with each first mounting slot 325 and is accommodated in the corresponding first mounting slot 325.
[0073] Specifically, the second mounting member 323 and the third mounting member 327 are generally square. The mounting portions 3272 of the third mounting member 327 are located at the four corners of the main body 3271. Therefore, when each mounting portion 3272 is installed in its corresponding first mounting groove 325, a shim can be added between the corresponding mounting portion 3272 and the corresponding first mounting groove 325 to adjust the orientation of the pressing member 340 installed in the first opening 328. This ensures that the laser beam can pass through the pressing member 340 along the Z-axis direction during laser welding. Furthermore, the second mounting member 323 and the third mounting member 327 are detachably connected by threaded fasteners. After prolonged use, the third mounting member 327 can be replaced to ensure the installation accuracy of the pressing member 340.
[0074] Reference Figure 13In some embodiments, along the Z-axis direction, the cross-sectional area of the first opening 328 gradually decreases from the first end face 321 to the second end face 322, or the cross-sectional area of the second opening 324 gradually decreases from the first end face 321 to the second end face 322. The pressing member 340 has a third end face 341 and a fourth end face 342 disposed opposite each other along the Z-axis direction, and the cross-sectional area of the pressing member 340 gradually decreases from the third end face 341 to the fourth end face 342 along the Z-axis direction. The pressing member 340 can be snapped onto the mounting assembly 320. It should be noted that the above-mentioned cross-sectional areas are all obtained by cutting the corresponding parts with a plane perpendicular to the Z-axis. The pressing member 340 can be snapped onto the second mounting member 323 or the third mounting member 327. When mounted on the third mounting member 327, the pressing member 340 is mounted on the first opening 328. When installed on the second mounting component 323, the pressing component 340 is installed in the second opening 324 and its third end face 341 abuts against the third mounting component 327. This prevents the pressing component 340 from moving relative to the second mounting component 323 during the pressing process, ensuring pressing accuracy. During installation, the pressing component 340 is connected to the mounting component 320 by wedging. That is, the pressing component 340 aligns its third end face 341 with the first opening 328 or the second opening 324, and then is placed downwards along the Z-axis until it cannot move. At this time, the pressing component 340 protrudes from the second end face 322 and its fourth end face 342 is flush with the suction port 331 of the suction component 330. The installation steps are simple and the pressing component 340 and the mounting component 320 are tightly connected and will not easily loosen.
[0075] Reference Figure 9 and Figure 10 In some embodiments, the connecting assembly 310 includes a mounting plate 311, a horizontal connecting plate 314, and two side connecting plates 312. The side connecting plates 312 connect the mounting plate 311 and the mounting assembly 320. A second mounting groove 313 is provided at one end of the side connecting plate 312 away from the mounting plate 311 along the Y-axis. The two side connecting plates 312 are spaced apart along the X-axis. The horizontal connecting plate 314 connects the two side connecting plates 312 and passes through the two second mounting grooves 313. Both the side connecting plates 312 and the horizontal connecting plate 314 are connected to the pressing member 340 via threaded fasteners, enabling the connecting assembly 310 to be stably connected to the mounting assembly 320. Specifically, the side connecting plates 312 are approximately triangular in shape, with both sides of the side connecting plate 312 connecting the mounting plate 311 and the mounting assembly 320 respectively, and both having a large contact area, thus improving connection stability. The horizontal connecting plate 314 connects the two side connecting plates 312 and passes through the two second mounting slots 313, so that the end of the side connecting plate 312 away from the mounting plate 311 along the Y-axis is fixed and more stable, avoiding shaking during movement or pressing, which would cause deviation in pressing and positioning and affect the welding quality.
[0076] Reference Figure 9In some embodiments, the pressing mechanism 300 includes a plurality of adsorption elements 330, which are arranged around the first opening 328. Specifically, the plurality of adsorption elements 330 are spaced apart around the first opening 328, and during the adsorption operation, the plurality of adsorption elements 330 can simultaneously adsorb the carrier plate 600, making the carrier plate 600 more stable during the process of transporting and positioning it to the substrate 500, and preventing the carrier plate 600 from loosening during transport.
[0077] Reference Figure 9 , Figure 11 and Figure 12 In some embodiments, the pressing mechanism 300 further includes a second connector 332 for connecting to a vacuum source. The second connector 332 is provided with an airflow hole 333, and the adsorption member 330 is provided with an adsorption port 331. The second connector 332 is connected to the second side surface 329. The mounting assembly 320 is provided with multiple channels 326, each channel 326 corresponding to each adsorption member 330. One end of the channel 326 is connected to the airflow hole 333, and the other end of the channel 326 is connected to the adsorption port 331. Specifically, the second mounting member 323 is provided with multiple channels 326, which are interconnected, so that the pressing mechanism 300 can simultaneously draw air from multiple adsorption ports 331 by connecting only one second connector 332, reducing the number of vacuum sources required. In addition, the second connector 332 is connected to the second side surface 329 of the mounting assembly 320, which facilitates the connection of pipelines and reduces the impact on the first end face 321 and the second end face 322, avoiding interference with the welding process.
[0078] In some embodiments, the pressing member 340 is made of quartz glass, allowing the laser to pass through it. This enables the pressing member 340 to simultaneously press the carrier plate 600 onto the substrate 500 and weld the chip, ensuring the welding quality of the chip. Quartz glass has excellent physical and chemical properties, able to withstand high temperatures without interfering with the laser beam during laser processing. Furthermore, quartz glass is low in cost and simple to process, ensuring the flatness of the fourth end face 342 of the pressing member 340 after processing, thereby improving the welding accuracy of the chip.
[0079] In some embodiments, the mounting assembly 320 is made of alloy steel and has high temperature resistance, which can effectively reduce the degree of deformation at the operating temperature of laser welding, thereby ensuring that the pressing mechanism 300 can be used for a long time.
[0080] Reference Figure 14In some embodiments, the Micro-LED laser processing system further includes a docking platform 400 connected to the machine tool body 100. The docking platform 400 and the fixed platform 200 are spaced apart along the X-axis. The docking platform 400 is provided with a second support member 420, which has a second support surface 421 for supporting the carrier plate 600. The pressing mechanism 300 and the CCD camera 800 can both move along the X-axis to the position corresponding to the second support member 420. The docking platform 400 is also provided with a second positioning member 410, which is configured the same as the first positioning member 260 and will not be described again here. The second positioning member 410 is used to position the carrier plate 600. Before the pressing mechanism 300 adsorbs the carrier plate 600, the CCD camera 800 first determines the position of the carrier plate 600 on the second bearing surface 421. Then the pressing mechanism 300 adsorbs the carrier plate 600 to ensure accurate adsorption position, which facilitates the subsequent pressing and positioning of the carrier plate 600 and the substrate 500.
[0081] In some embodiments, the Micro-LED laser processing system further includes an optical fiber 710 connected to a laser head 700. The optical fiber 710 transmits a flat-top laser beam to the laser head 700, which then emits it. The flat-top laser beam has the same energy density within its irradiation range, ensuring a uniform heat distribution when the laser acts on the substrate 500, resulting in consistent welding temperatures for each chip. Furthermore, by controlling the intensity of the flat-top laser beam, the welding temperature between the chip and the substrate 500 is sufficient to achieve welding without damaging the chip. Specifically, the laser beam emitted from the laser head 700 is rectangular in shape. During laser welding, the laser irradiates the processing start position, and then the chip is scanned and welded to the substrate 500 by moving the drive component along the X-axis.
[0082] The specific fabrication steps of the Micro-LED laser processing system are as follows:
[0083] S1: Provide the substrate 500 required for welding;
[0084] S2: Fix the substrate 500 to the first support member 220 and fix the carrier plate 600 to the second support member; (wherein, solder paste has been pre-applied to the substrate 500 and the chip is fixed on the carrier plate 600);
[0085] S3: According to the size of the substrate 500, set up multiple corresponding areas, and the pressing mechanism 300 will adsorb the carrier plate 600 and move it to the designated area of the substrate 500.
[0086] S4: Use a machine vision system to align the Mark points on the substrate 500 to determine the starting position for laser welding;
[0087] S5: According to the set trajectory, the laser scans within a 600° range of the carrier plate to complete the welding;
[0088] S6: Repeat steps S1 to S5 until chips are soldered to all areas on the substrate 500.
[0089] The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various changes can be made within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Furthermore, the embodiments of the present invention and the features thereof can be combined with each other unless otherwise specified.
