Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of microelectronic packaging, and in particular relates to a high-precision automatic alignment method with a magnetic copper needle. Background Art
[0002] Most packaging technologies such as WireBond and FlipChip are single-sided connections. Now that the semiconductor industry is developing rapidly, the processing speed of such single-sided connected chips obviously cannot keep up with our needs. Therefore, we propose to use the subsequent technology of copper-copper needles to implant copper needles into the metal interface of the product for packaging to achieve chip interconnection packaging. This packaging can significantly improve computing efficiency, reduce the overall area and power consumption of the chip, reduce signal delay, reduce power consumption and high-speed communication, and increase the number and bandwidth of I / O interfaces. Summary of the invention
[0003] In view of the above situation, in order to overcome the defects of the prior art, the present invention polarizes one end of the copper needle to make it magnetic and fix the magnetic direction, and then sprinkles it into the steel mesh, so that the magnetic field on the solder paste at the interface of the metal pad produces an opposite attraction phenomenon, so that the two can be connected to achieve the effect of alignment.
[0004] In order to achieve the above object, the following technical solution is adopted: The present invention provides a high-precision automatic alignment method with a magnetic copper needle, comprising:
[0005] Copper needles are provided;
[0006] Remove impurities and oil stains on the surface of the copper needle by cleaning;
[0007] Adhering iron powder to one end of the copper needle specifically includes:
[0008] Use conductive silver paste to apply to the part of the copper needle where the iron powder needs to be adhered, then sprinkle the iron powder evenly on the surface of the copper needle to ensure that the iron powder is evenly distributed, and wait for it to dry or solidify naturally;
[0009] The copper needle is subjected to magnetization treatment, which specifically comprises:
[0010] Fix the copper needle on a fixture with a recess by a fixture, and place the fixture in an energized solenoid;
[0011] Next, the magnetic field parameters, such as magnetic field strength, frequency and processing time, are adjusted, and then the magnetic field processing is performed;
[0012] After the treatment, use a detection tool such as a magnetometer to detect the magnetization effect of the copper needle;
[0013] After the copper needle is magnetized, the magnetic field strength is slowly reduced, and the magnetized copper needle is cooled by a coolant;
[0014] Prepare the metal pad;
[0015] The metal Pad is magnetized, specifically comprising:
[0016] Applying solder paste mixed with magnetic powder to the metal pad interface;
[0017] Before the solder paste is completely dry, place the N pole of the permanent magnet close to the surface of the product coated with solder paste for a while to allow the magnetic powder to fully absorb the magnetism of the magnet;
[0018] Gently remove the magnet and observe whether the magnetic powder in the solder paste is arranged in the direction of the magnet's polarity;
[0019] Then use the same pole of the permanent magnet to adsorb the solder paste again to strengthen the arrangement direction of the fixed magnetic powder so that the S pole of the magnetic powder faces upward;
[0020] After the magnetization of the metal pad is completed, copper needle implantation is performed, which specifically includes:
[0021] Fix the copper needle product on the vibrating plate, move the porous screen above the product, sprinkle the magnetic copper needle on the porous screen with a slightly larger aperture, place the end with iron powder downward, and make the metal interface of the product with the S pole facing upward;
[0022] The vibration plate is turned on to vibrate, and the copper needles in the screen fall from the holes as they vibrate. The magnetic N pole at the downward end of the copper needle is opposite to the magnetic field on the solder paste, and the two poles attract each other to complete automatic alignment.
[0023] Perform reflow soldering to fix the copper needle;
[0024] Make sure that all metal pad interfaces have implanted pins, and then follow the normal copper implantation process.
[0025] Furthermore, the conductive silver paste is a paste composed of silver powder and an organic solvent.
[0026] Furthermore, the coolant includes but is not limited to liquid nitrogen.
[0027] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: the present invention polarizes one end of the copper needle to make it magnetic and fix the magnetic direction, and then sprinkles it into the steel mesh, which produces an opposite attraction phenomenon with the magnetic field on the solder paste at the interface of the metal pad, so that the two can be connected to achieve the effect of alignment. The present invention can realize automatic alignment and quick connection, the alignment is more accurate, the operation process is simplified, and the connection reliability is improved.
