Obviously, the drawings described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments, and those skilled in the art can also obtain other design solutions and drawings based on these drawings without creative work.

[0031] The following will clearly and completely describe the concept, specific structure and technical effects of the present invention in combination with the embodiments and drawings, so as to fully understand the purpose, characteristics and effects of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, other embodiments obtained by technicians in this field without creative work are all within the scope of protection of the present invention. In addition, all the connection / connection relationships mentioned in the text do not refer to the direct connection of components, but refer to the formation of a better connection structure by adding or reducing connection accessories according to the specific implementation situation. The various technical features in the present invention can be combined interchangeably without conflicting with each other.

[0032] At present, components are mounted by specific equipment, including automatic die bonding machines for chips and SMT equipment for resistors and capacitors, but the equipment efficiency is low and UPH is redundant. As semiconductor circuits tend to be highly integrated and miniaturized, heat dissipation requirements increase, and mounting accuracy directly affects the heat dissipation effect. Therefore, higher-precision, low-cost mounting equipment is needed to meet market demand.

[0033] In the current semiconductor manufacturing process, the loading and unloading process of wafers often relies on manual operation. This link is particularly cumbersome and complicated for different types of chip mounting operations. Since each chip may require different processing methods and equipment settings, manual loading and unloading not only increases the difficulty of operation, but also affects the accuracy of wafer placement, and efficiency will be significantly affected when the task is frequently changed. The instability of manual operation also increases the risk of errors in the production process, thereby affecting the quality of the wafer and the continuity of production.

[0034] To this end, a semiconductor assembly equipment, referring to Figure 1 to Figure 6 , including: a semiconductor assembly equipment, including a frame 1, a carrier 3 and a conveying track 2, a wafer fixing mechanism 4, a wafer transport mechanism 5, a first clamping component 6, a tape loading mechanism 7 and a second clamping component 8 all arranged on the frame 1, the carrier 3 is used to carry a circuit substrate, the carrier 3 moves through the conveying track 2, the wafer fixing mechanism 4 is used to adjust the angle of the wafer, the wafer transport mechanism 5 is used to transport the wafer to the wafer fixing mechanism 4, the first clamping component 6 is arranged above the wafer fixing mechanism 4, the first clamping component 6 is used to grab the chip on the wafer and transport it to the circuit substrate on the carrier 3, the tape loading mechanism 7 is used to transport components on the reel, the second clamping component 8 is arranged above the tape loading mechanism 7, and the second clamping component 8 is used to grab the components on the tape loading mechanism 7 and transport them to the circuit substrate on the carrier 3.

[0035] First, multiple wafers to be mounted are placed on the first loading device 9 and the second loading device 10, and no less than 20 wafers can be placed at the same time, which can reduce the frequency of manual loading. The carrier 3 with the circuit substrate is transported to the bottom of the first clamping component 6 through the conveying track 2. The wafer transportation mechanism 5 grabs the wafer and places it on the wafer fixing mechanism 4. The wafer fixing mechanism 4 clamps the wafer and rotates it to the optimal position. The first clamping component 6 absorbs the chip of the wafer on the wafer fixing mechanism 4 and places it on the circuit substrate; when all the single chips on the wafer are mounted, the wafer transportation mechanism 5 will grab and transfer the used wafers from the wafer fixing device to the wafer unloading device 12. The unloading device can hold no less than 20 wafers at the same time, which can reduce the frequency of manual unloading. When a certain number of wafers are collected, they are taken out for recycling. The above is the entire chip mounting process. After the chip is mounted, the carrier 3 will transport the circuit substrate with the chip mounted to the bottom of the second clamping assembly 8 along the conveying track 2. The second clamping assembly 8 grabs the components on the tape loading mechanism 7 and places them on the circuit substrate. The above is the mounting process of semiconductor circuit components. After completing the above steps, the carrier 3 will transfer the product to the next process through the conveying track 2. The coordinated work of this series of automated equipment not only improves production efficiency, but also ensures the accuracy and quality of mounting, providing a strong guarantee for efficient production.

[0036] Based on multiple factors such as protecting wafers from environmental damage, improving production efficiency and automation level, reducing pollution risks, and optimizing space layout.

In order to ensure the quality and efficiency of wafers during the production process, the wafer storage area and the wafer mounting work area are clearly divided, so as to achieve strict control of the wafer storage environment and maintain the cleanliness of the wafers during storage. The wafer transport mechanism 5 effectively connects the storage space with the mounting space to ensure that the transfer of wafers between the two areas is both rapid and accurate, reducing the risk of contamination of wafers during the transfer process, and improving the automation level and production efficiency of the entire production process.

The design of the wafer placement slot can ensure the accurate position of the wafer during the loading process. The first loading device 9 and the second loading device 10 are fixed in the same installation space, which effectively utilizes limited space resources and saves the space occupied by the equipment.

The unloading device can place no less than 20 wafers at the same time, which can reduce the frequency of manual unloading. When a certain number of wafers are collected, they will be taken out uniformly for recycling, reducing the number of shutdowns for unloading and improving production efficiency.
