The mixed gas is injected into the vent hole 84 through a plurality of multi-way solenoid valves 89 inside the valve island box 23 to form a mixed hot gas. At the same time, the mixed gas is injected into the four upper cavity inlet and outlet gas cover plates 47 through the valve island box 23 and the formic acid gas pipeline 49, and is heated by the upper heating disk to form a mixed hot gas. The mixed hot gas enters the four heating chambers respectively, so that the temperature meets the above settings;
[0076] The external cold source is injected into the cooling coil 94 to cool the lower plate 90 to form mixed cold air, which is then injected into the cooling chamber;

After the placement is completed, the flap cylinder 52 is extended, and the nitrogen pipeline flap 53 is rotated and closed to contact the loading port 55;
[0078] The telescopic ends of the two pneumatic push rods 74 of the lifting chamber assembly 33 below the flap assembly 40 drive the lifting frame 73 to rise, and the lifting frame 73 drives the lifting sleeve shaft 102 to rise.

After positioning, the telescopic ends of the two pneumatic push rods 74 at this position drive the lifting frame 73 to descend, and the wafer falls back to the three pin support plates 62.
[0079] The output shaft of the power motor 70 drives the seal mounting seat 69 to rotate intermittently, thereby driving the support turntable 95 to rotate intermittently between the upper fixed plate 32 and the lower fixed plate 35, and sequentially passes through the five heating and cooling discs 72 and the four heating upper chambers 38 and the cooling chambers 34 at the corresponding positions, that is, sequentially enters the four heating chambers and the cooling chambers;

When the lifting sleeve shaft 102 rises, the corrugated lifting sleeve 75 is compressed, and the lifting sleeve shaft 102 drives the lower cavity 77 to rise. At this time, the lower pad 78 and the lower heat insulation cover 79 rise synchronously. When the lower cavity 77 rises, the cavity sealing ring contacts the lower end of the sealing ring 61 for sealing. At the same time, the lifting sleeve shaft 102 drives the heating and cooling plate unit 80 to rise. The heating and cooling plate unit 80 lifts the wafer off the three pin support plates 62, injects the mixed hot air into the vent hole 84, and blows it onto the heating and cooling plate unit 80. 0, the airflow is blown out through the spiral ventilation grooves 83 on the inner wall of the suspension ventilation cylinder 82, so that the wafer is stably suspended and rotated to ensure that the wafer is heated evenly. After the heating is completed, the injection of the mixed gas is stopped, and the wafer falls back on the heating and cooling plate unit 80. Then, the telescopic ends of the two pneumatic push rods 74 of the lifting chamber assembly 33 below the four heating upper cavities 38 drive the lifting frame 73 to descend, and the wafer falls back on the three pin support plates 62, and then enters the inside of the other three heating chambers in turn, and is heated first and then cooled. The metal powder in the solder paste is melted by heating, which can effectively reduce the height difference of each bump, reduce the roughness of the surface of the welding bump, and remove the oxides in the solder.
[0081] After entering the cooling chamber, the telescopic ends of the two pneumatic push rods 74 of the lifting chamber assembly 33 below the cooling chamber body 34 drive the lifting frame 73 to rise, and the lifting frame 73 drives the lifting sleeve shaft 102 to rise. When the lifting sleeve shaft 102 rises, the corrugated lifting sleeve 75 is compressed, and the lifting sleeve shaft 102 drives the lower cavity 77 to rise. At this time, the lower pad 78 and the lower heat insulation cover 79 rise synchronously. When the lower cavity 77 rises, the cavity sealing ring contacts the lower end of the sealing ring 61 for sealing. At the same time, the lifting sleeve shaft 102 drives the heating and cooling plate unit 80 to rise, and the heating and cooling plate unit 80 lifts the wafer off the three pin supports Plate 62, the mixed cold air injected into the vent hole 84 is blown onto the wafer above the heating and cooling plate unit 80, and the airflow is blown out through a number of spiral vent grooves 83 on the inner wall of the suspension vent cylinder 82, so that the wafer is stably suspended and rotated to ensure uniform cooling of the wafer. After the cooling is completed, the injection of the mixed air is stopped, and the wafer falls back onto the heating and cooling plate unit 80, and then the telescopic ends of the two pneumatic push rods 74 of the lifting chamber assembly 33 below the cooling cavity 34 drive the lifting frame 73 to descend, and the wafer falls back onto the three pin support plates 62, completing the cooling process, and solidifying the wafer rapid cooling process;
[0082] The output shaft of the power motor 70 drives the sealing mounting seat 69 to continue to rotate intermittently, thereby driving the supporting turntable 95 to rotate intermittently between the upper fixed plate 32 and the lower fixed plate 35, and then enters the loading chamber. The nitrogen pipeline flap 53 is connected to an external cold source, so that the nitrogen pipeline flap 53 can be cooled, and the wafer is subjected to auxiliary cooling treatment, and the wafer is subjected to optimized cooling;
[0083] Then the flap cylinder 52 is retracted, driving the nitrogen pipeline flap 53 to rotate and open, and then the wafer is placed on another wafer handling machine 3 by the transport robot 15;
[0084] In this process, a plurality of differential pressure gauges 31 are used to monitor the internal air pressure of the process upper chamber 17. The gas cabinet of the gas cabinet exhaust part 18 is mainly used to store gas circuit components and gas pipes. The exhaust operation refers to exhausting the gas when a gas leak occurs in the gas cabinet, so as to protect the safety of personnel and the service life of the equipment. A plurality of electrical equipment are arranged inside the electric cabinet. The electrical equipment will generate heat and possible harmful gases during operation. The exhaust of the electric cabinet is to ensure the normal operation of the equipment and extend its service life.
[0085] One of the process chamber exhaust pipes 29 is located above the formic acid storage tank 30, and is used to discharge the volatilized formic acid in the formic acid storage tank 30 to the connecting box, and then to be discharged from the process chamber flange pipe. When the rotary welding system 22 is exhausting, the gas is discharged to the connecting box through another process chamber exhaust pipe 29, and then to be discharged from the process chamber flange pipe. The differential pressure gauge is used to monitor the gas pressure, and the butterfly valve is used to control the exhaust volume;
[0086] That is, when exhausting, the pressure chamber 42 draws out the waste gas inside the upper fixed plate 32 and enters the conversion head 43. The waste gas of the four heating upper chambers 38 enters the filter tube through the four upper chamber inlet and outlet cover plates 47. The spiral heating tube 46 inside the filter tube heats the inside of the filter tube to prevent cold air from entering the upper chamber inlet and outlet cover plates 47, ensuring that the internal temperature of the four heating upper chambers 38 is stable. After the waste gas is drawn into the filter tank 44 for filtration, the waste gas enters the conversion head 43 and then enters another process chamber exhaust pipe 29 for discharge. The aluminum baffle valve 45 is used to control the exhaust flow of the third upper chamber inlet and outlet cover plate 47 in counterclockwise order.

The heating treatment is first performed to melt the metal powder in the solder paste, which can effectively reduce the height difference of each bump, reduce the roughness of the surface of the welding bump, remove the oxide in the solder, and then cool the wafer to solidify;
