Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of electronic manufacturing, in particular to a pick-and-place device for integrated circuit chips. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous advancement of science and technology, the integration level of integrated circuit chips continues to rise, and their functions become more and more powerful. People gradually integrate many electronic components on a piece of semiconductor material, thus forming an integrated circuit chip. In the large-scale integrated circuit production and manufacturing process, a large number of chips need to be quickly transported and assembled, so a pick-and-place device is required. This device can pick and place chips extremely accurately and quickly, effectively ensuring the safe transfer and accurate positioning of chips in various process flows. The pick-and-place device can also cooperate with other automated equipment to achieve multi-station collaborative operation, thereby greatly improving production efficiency.

[0003] Existing pick-and-place devices for integrated circuit chips typically use a robotic arm to move a nozzle over the chip. The nozzle lowers to the chip surface and makes contact. A vacuum system activates, creating negative pressure inside the nozzle, which attracts the chip. Once the chip is attached to the nozzle, the robotic arm moves the chip to the target location for storage, completing the pick-and-place operation.

[0004] There are certain defects in the use of a pick-and-place device for integrated circuit chips: during the chip manufacturing process, impurities such as metal ions, organic matter or particles will remain on the surface of the wafer. When picking and placing the chip, the suction nozzle is easily in contact with these impurities, causing the particle impurities to clog the nozzle pores, affecting the generation and maintenance of negative pressure inside the nozzle, which may cause the chip to shake or even fall off during movement, reducing the chip picking and placing effect. In addition, due to the different chip thicknesses, the force of the robot arm will change dynamically when working. If the force applied by the robot arm is too large, the speed at which the nozzle contacts the chip may be faster, thereby generating a larger impact force, directly impacting the chip surface. Under this forced push, the friction between the bottom surface of the chip and the placement plane increases, causing damage to the chip surface.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to propose a pick-and-place device for integrated circuit chips to solve the above technical problems. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In response to the shortcomings of the existing technology, the present invention provides a device for picking and placing integrated circuit chips, which solves the technical problems that residual impurities in chip manufacturing easily clog the nozzle pores, affecting the generation and maintenance of negative pressure, causing the chip to shake or fall off when moving, reducing the picking and placing effect, and the different chip thicknesses cause the force of the robot arm to change.

[0017] Preferably, a pair of U-shaped rubber pads are installed on the inner wall of the chip slot of the chip stage, and the pair of rubber pads are arranged to be vertically connected to each other.

[0018] Beneficial effects: (1) The present invention provides a cleaning assembly in which the cleaning disc, dust extraction ring, high-pressure exhaust pipe and other structures work together to quickly clean impurities on the chip surface before the suction nozzle rod adsorbs the chip.

In addition, the position of the shielding plate is adjusted by rotating the torsion rod according to the different thicknesses of the chip, thereby controlling the size of the magnetic field. Chips of different thicknesses require different suspension forces when adsorbed by the nozzle rod. Precise adjustment of the magnetic field can ensure that the chip is not subjected to friction and compression, but can maintain a stable suspension state, avoiding damage to the chip surface due to excessive impact force generated by changes in the force of the robot arm.

[0037] In order to make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects achieved by the present invention easier to understand, the present invention is further described below in conjunction with specific implementation methods.

[0038] like Figure 1-Figure 3As shown, a device for taking and placing integrated circuit chips comprises a workbench 1, on which a placing table 11 and a taking and placing table 12 are respectively arranged from back to front, a movable seat 13 is arranged at the rear end of the workbench 1, a first driving mechanism for driving the movable seat 13 to reach the positions of the placing table 11 and the taking and placing table 12 is installed on the workbench 1, a plurality of suction nozzle rods 14 for adsorbing chips are arranged on the movable seat 13, an air pump for gas extraction is arranged on the suction nozzle rod 14, a limiting plate 15 moving along the front and back directions is arranged at the bottom of the movable seat 13, an electric push rod for driving the limiting plate 15 is installed on the movable seat 13, a cleaning component 2 is arranged on the side corresponding to the suction nozzle rod 14 on the limiting plate 15, which is used to quickly clean impurities on the surface of the chip before the suction nozzle rod 14 adsorbs the chip, and the movable seat 13 is provided with a plurality of suction nozzle rods 14 for adsorbing chips. A second driving mechanism is installed to drive the suction nozzle rod 14 and the limit plate 15 to move up and down. It should be noted that, first, the chip to be picked up and placed is placed on the placement table 11, and the first driving mechanism drives the movable seat 13 to move to the position of the placement table 11. The air pump is started, and the suction nozzle rod 14 generates adsorption force, ready to adsorb the chip. Before adsorbing the chip, the cleaning component 2 on the limit plate 15 cleans the impurities on the surface of the chip. After the suction nozzle rod 14 adsorbs the chip, the driving mechanism drives the movable seat 13 to move to the position of the pick-up and placement table 12. At the pick-up and placement table 12, the air pump stops working, and the suction nozzle rod 14 releases the chip, completing the chip pick-up and placement operation, realizing automatic pick-up and placement of the integrated circuit chip between the placement table 11 and the pick-up and placement table 12, and cleaning the impurities on its surface before adsorbing the chip to ensure the quality and reliability of the chip.

[0039] like Figure 4-Figure 7 As shown, the cleaning assembly 2 includes a cleaning disc 21 arranged in a hollow shape, the inner cavity of the cleaning disc 21 is installed with a high-pressure exhaust pipe 22 in an annular array, the bottom of the cleaning disc 21 is installed with a dust extraction ring 23 connected to the high-pressure exhaust pipe 22, the bottom of the dust extraction ring 23 is provided with a dust extraction groove 24, the top of the dust extraction ring 23 is provided with a dust accumulation groove 25 for connecting one end of the high-pressure exhaust pipe 22 and the dust extraction groove 24, a filter ring 26 is installed on the outside of the cleaning disc 21, one end of the high-pressure exhaust pipe 22 passes through the inner of the filter ring 26 The cavity is installed with a filter screen 27, and the filter screen 27 is arranged in an inclined shape. A collection box 28 for collecting impurities is threadedly connected to the bottom of the filter ring 26. A collection trough connected to the collection box 28 is provided below the filter ring 26. A vacuum plate 29 connected to the high-pressure vacuum pipe 22 is provided on the top of the filter ring 26. The top of the vacuum plate 29 is plugged and installed below the limit plate 15. The vacuum plate 29 is connected to the air pump. A plurality of telescopic spring rods 210 are installed between the vacuum plate 29 and the filter ring 26.

[0040] It should be noted that, first, when the cleaning component 2 is working, the electric push rod drives the limit plate 15 to move onto the placement table 11, and the second driving mechanism drives the limit plate 15 and the suction nozzle rod 14 to move toward the placement table 11, and the air pump starts the exhaust disk 29 to generate negative pressure, and the air is sucked into the dust extraction groove 24 at the bottom of the dust extraction ring 23 through the high-pressure exhaust pipe 22. The impurities on the surface of the chip are sucked into the dust extraction groove 24 along with the airflow, and then enter the dust accumulation groove 25, and then enter the filter ring 26 through the high-pressure exhaust pipe 22. The filter screen 27 filters the impurities, and the inclined filter screen 27 allows the impurities to slide down to the collection box 28 under the action of gravity and airflow. The collection box 28 is conveniently disassembled and cleaned by a threaded connection to ensure that the impurities will not enter the high-pressure exhaust pipe 22 again. The telescopic spring rod 210 can adjust the position of the dust extraction ring 23 according to the thickness of the chips during operation to improve the cleaning effect.

[0041] like Figure 6-Figure 7 As shown, the dust extraction groove 24 is arranged in a square shape as a whole. The dust extraction groove 24 is arranged to expand outward in the axial direction close to the dust extraction ring 23, providing a larger dust collection coverage area, which can more comprehensively cover the chip surface and ensure that as many impurities as possible are sucked away during the cleaning process. The dust extraction groove 24 is arranged in an upward arc shape away from the axial direction of the dust extraction ring 23. When the vacuum main plate 29 generates negative pressure, the arc design can make the airflow enter the dust extraction groove 24 more smoothly, thereby improving the dust collection efficiency. The longitudinal section of the dust accumulation groove 25 is arranged in an upward convergent shape. As the airflow carries impurities into the dust accumulation groove 25, the convergent structure can prevent impurities from diffusing in the dust accumulation groove 25, thereby ensuring that impurities can smoothly pass through the high-pressure exhaust pipe 22 into the filter ring 26 for filtration.

[0042] like Figure 8 As shown, a sealing gasket is installed below the cleaning disk 21 and on the outside of the dust extraction ring 23. A plurality of chip tables 111 are provided on the placement table 11. The chip tables 111 are provided with chip slots for storing chips. When cleaning dust, the sealing gasket contacts the surface of the chip table 111 to quickly clean the dust on the surface of the chip.

[0043] It should be noted that when the cleaning tray 21 is near the chip stage 111 for dust removal, the sealing gasket contacts the surface of the chip stage 111. At this point, the sealing gasket acts as a seal, relatively enclosing the space between the cleaning tray 21 and the chip stage 111. Under the negative pressure generated by the main exhaust tray 29, a local negative pressure environment quickly forms within this sealed space. This local negative pressure causes the air surrounding the chip to flow rapidly toward the dust extraction trough 24, carrying dust with it, thereby enhancing the concentration of the airflow.

[0044] The chip table 111 is located on the inner wall of the chip slot and is equipped with a pair of U-shaped rubber pads 1111, and the pair of rubber pads 1111 are arranged to be vertically connected to each other. Since the two rubber pads 1111 are vertically connected to each other, they can apply a certain amount of pressure to the chip in both horizontal and vertical directions to prevent the chip from moving or shaking in the chip slot, ensuring the stability of the chip position during the placement process, and effectively reducing the impact of such vibration on the chip.

[0045] like Figure 4 and Figure 9 As shown, a fixed seat 221 is installed on the top of the filter ring 26, and a return spring rod 222 is installed in the fixed seat 221. The top of the return spring rod 222 is slidably connected to an L-shaped seat 223 which is connected to the inner side of the fixed seat 221 through a slide rail. The horizontal end of the L-shaped seat 223 is rotatably connected to a blocking plate 224. The vertical end of the L-shaped seat 223 is installed with a torsion spring 225 connected to the blocking plate 224. The spring potential energy of the torsion spring 225 is greater than that of the return spring rod 222. The cleaning disk 21 is located inside the high-pressure exhaust pipe 22 and an electronic valve 226 is installed.

[0046] It should be noted that when the air pump is started, the nozzle rod 14 moves downward to prepare to absorb the chip. During the movement, the nozzle rod 14 contacts the blocking plate 224. Since the spring potential energy of the torsion spring 225 is greater than the return spring rod 222 at this time, the blocking plate 224 will not be pushed open. Instead, the pressure of the nozzle rod 14 causes the entire L-shaped seat to slide downward along the return spring rod 222. As the L-shaped seat slides down, the blocking plate 224 continues to remain closed, concentrating the airflow on the high-pressure exhaust pipe 22. At this time, the electronic valve 226 opens, the exhaust disk 29 generates negative pressure, and the high-pressure exhaust pipe 22 starts to work. The cleaning component 2 quickly cleans impurities on the chip surface before the nozzle rod 14 contacts the chip. The nozzle rod 14 continues to descend, driving the blocking plate 224 and the L The L-shaped seat continues to slide along the return spring rod 222. During this process, the cleaning component 2 continues to work, sucking impurities on the surface of the chip into the dust extraction groove 24 and the dust accumulation groove 25, and filtering them through the filter screen 27 into the collection box 28. When the cleaning component 2 finishes working, the suction nozzle rod 14 continues to descend and contacts the chip for adsorption. At this time, the suction nozzle rod 14 drives the blocking plate 224 to rotate in the horizontal end of the L-shaped seat, and the torsion spring 225 enters a compressed state. When the suction nozzle rod 14 takes the chip away, the suction nozzle rod 14 moves upward. At this time, the spring potential energy of the torsion spring 225 and the return spring rod 222 is released, and the torsion spring 225 returns to its original state to drive the blocking plate 224 to reset. The return spring rod 222 extends and pushes the L-shaped seat back to its initial position. Through the cooperation of the blocking plate 224 and the L-shaped seat, the airflow can be concentrated on the high-pressure exhaust pipe 22 during the descending process of the suction nozzle rod 14, so that the cleaning component 2 can be quickly started and efficiently cleaned before the suction nozzle rod 14 contacts the chip, thereby greatly improving the cleaning efficiency of impurities on the chip surface.

[0047] like Figure 10-11 As shown, a suspension buffer component 3 is provided in the placement table 11, which is used to prevent the surface of the chip from being rubbed and squeezed when the nozzle rod 14 is adsorbed. The suspension buffer component 3 includes a support seat 31 for supporting the chip stage 111. The inner cavity of the workbench 1 is provided with an opening for storing the chip stage 111. The support seat 31 is fixedly connected at the bottom end of the opening, and a connecting seat 32 is installed between the chip stages 111 in a group of six. The placement table 11 is provided with a connecting groove 321 between adjacent openings, and a limiting groove 34 connected to the opening is provided on the top of the placement table 11. The limiting groove 34 is adapted to the collection box 28. The placement table 11 is provided with a square groove 35 below the opening, and a magnet ring 36 is installed on the side of the bottom wall of the square groove 35 corresponding to the magnet 33.

[0048] It should be noted that when the cleaning component 2 is working, the collection box 28 is located in the limit groove 34, ensuring the stable position of the cleaning component 2, and also playing a certain restrictive role in the position of the chip stage 111 and the suction nozzle rod 14. When the suction nozzle rod 14 approaches the chip and prepares to adsorb, the magnet 33 on the chip stage 111 interacts with the magnet ring 36 on the bottom wall of the square groove 35 to generate magnetic force, causing the chip stage 111 to move upward in the opening and be in a suspended state, thereby preventing the chip surface from being subjected to friction and compression during the adsorption process of the suction nozzle rod 14, thereby protecting the surface quality of the chip.

[0049] like Figure 11 As shown, a vertically arranged damping spring rod 331 is installed on the inner side of the connection groove 321 of the placement platform 11 , and the damping spring rod 331 is slidably connected to the connection seat 32 .

[0050] It should be noted that when the chip stage 111 is subjected to magnetic force, the connecting seat 32 will produce a certain displacement in the connecting groove 321. Since the damping spring rod 331 is vertically arranged and slidingly connected to the connecting seat 32, the displacement of the connecting seat 32 will cause the damping spring rod 331 to be compressed or stretched. The damping spring rod 331 can provide a certain buffering effect. On the other hand, the existence of damping can consume energy, slow down the movement speed of the connecting seat 32, and make the movement of the entire system more stable.

[0051] like Figure 10-12 As shown, a magnetic control device 310 is provided on the left and right sides of the placement table 11. The magnetic control device 310 includes a shielding plate 311 that is slidably connected to the front and rear sides of the square groove 35. The shielding plate 311 is a shielding material. Rack plates 312 are installed on both ends of the shielding plate 311. The front and rear ends of the square groove 35 are rotatably connected to the transmission gear 313 that meshes with the rack plates 312 located at the front and rear ends. The left and right ends of the placement table 11 are rotatably connected to the torsion rod 314 for driving the transmission gear 313 to rotate.

[0052] It should be noted that the operator determines the size of the magnetic field that needs to be adjusted according to the different thicknesses of the chips. Specifically, the operator rotates the torsion rods 314 at the left and right ends of the placement table 11. The rotation of the torsion rods 314 drives the transmission gear 313 connected thereto to rotate. Since the transmission gear 313 is engaged with the rack plates 312 at the left and right ends of the shielding plate 311, the rotation of the transmission gear 313 causes the rack plates 312 to move relative to each other. The movement of the rack plates 312 then drives the shielding plate 311 to slide on the front and rear sides of the square slot 35. When it is necessary to enhance the magnetic field, the torsion rods 314 are rotated to move the shielding plate 311 away from the magnet ring 36 and the magnet 33 of the chip table 111, thereby reducing the shielding effect on the magnetic field. When it is necessary to weaken the magnetic field, the torsion rods 314 are rotated in the opposite direction to move the shielding plate 311 closer to the magnet ring 36 and the magnet 33, thereby enhancing the shielding effect and reducing the magnetic field strength.

[0053] Chips of different thicknesses may require different suspension forces when being adsorbed by the nozzle rod 14. By adjusting the spacing between the shielding plates 311 to control the magnetic field size, precise adjustments can be made according to the specific thickness of the chip to ensure that the chip will not be subjected to friction or compression during the pick-up and placement process, while maintaining a stable suspension state.

[0054] A distance sensor for detecting the thickness of the chip stage 111 is installed on the support base 31 , a scale plate 315 is installed on the left side of the placement table 11 , a pointer head 316 is installed on the outer side of the torsion rod 314 , and a display screen is installed on the placement table 11 .

[0055] It should be noted that the distance sensor transmits the detected thickness information of the chip stage 111 to the control system of the placement table 11. The control system calculates the appropriate magnetic field size based on the thickness of the chip stage 111 and displays it on the display screen. The operator adjusts the thickness information of the chip stage 111 and the recommended magnetic field adjustment plan displayed on the display screen. The pointer head 316 on the outside of the torsion rod 314 moves on the dial 315 as the torsion rod 314 rotates. The operator can roughly understand the moving distance of the shielding plate 311 and the degree of magnetic field adjustment through the position of the pointer head 316 on the dial 315.

[0056] The working principle of the present invention is as follows: when the cleaning assembly 2 is working, the electric push rod drives the cleaning disk 21 on the limit plate 15 to approach the chip stage 111. The sealing gasket under the cleaning disk 21 contacts the surface of the chip stage 111, forming a sealed space. The air pump starts the exhaust main disk 29 to generate negative pressure, and the air is sucked into the dust extraction groove 24 at the bottom of the dust extraction ring 23 through the high-pressure exhaust pipe 22 in the annular array in the inner cavity of the cleaning disk 21. The dust extraction groove 24 is square in shape as a whole, expanding outwards near the axis of the dust extraction ring 23 to provide a larger dust collection coverage area; it is in an upward arc shape away from the axis of the dust extraction ring 23, so that the airflow enters the dust extraction groove 24 more smoothly. Impurities on the surface of the chip are sucked into the dust extraction groove 24 along with the airflow, and then enter the dust accumulation groove 25. The longitudinal section of the dust accumulation groove 25 is upwardly contracted to prevent the diffusion of impurities and ensure that impurities can smoothly pass through the high-pressure exhaust pipe 22 into the filter ring 26. The filter screen 27 in the filter ring 26 is arranged in an inclined shape to filter impurities. The impurities slide down to the collection box 28 with a threaded connection below under the action of gravity and airflow.

[0057] The air pump starts the suction nozzle rod 14 and moves downward to prepare for chip suction. It contacts the blocking plate 224. The L-shaped seat slides down along the return spring rod 222. The blocking plate 224 closes to concentrate the airflow on the high-pressure exhaust pipe 22. The electronic valve 226 opens, and the cleaning component 2 cleans impurities before the suction nozzle rod 14 contacts the chip. The suction nozzle rod 14 descends, driving the blocking plate 224 and the L-shaped seat to slide. When the work is finished, the suction nozzle rod 14 drives the blocking plate 224 to rotate. After the chip is removed, the torsion spring 225 and the return spring rod 222 return to their original position.

[0058] When the nozzle rod 14 approaches the chip and prepares to absorb it, the magnet 33 on the chip stage 111 interacts with the magnetic ring 36 on the bottom wall of the square groove 35 to generate a magnetic force, causing the chip stage 111 to move upward within the opening and remain suspended. Simultaneously, the collection box 28 is located within a limiting groove 34 at the top of the placement table 11, connected to the opening. This ensures the stable position of the cleaning assembly 2 and also restricts the position of the chip stage 111 and the nozzle rod 14. When the chip stage 111 is subjected to the magnetic force, the connecting base 32 will produce a certain displacement within the connecting groove 321, causing the damping spring rod 331, which is slidably connected to the connecting base 32, to compress or stretch, providing a buffering effect.
