Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of chip packaging, and in particular to a method for assembling a patch type crystal oscillator. Background Art

[0002] Crystal oscillators are increasingly used in circuits. Traditional crystal oscillator mounting is done through SMD mounting, which results in problems such as crystal tilt and solder voids. The bottom of the crystal oscillator is filled using UF technology. Due to the crystal tilt problem, there is insufficient filling in some areas during crystal filling, and the bonding strength between the filling material and the back of the crystal oscillator is not strong enough, resulting in filling stratification and reliability problems in the later use of the product.

[0003] The specific analysis is as follows: the existing ordinary crystal oscillator mounting method is SMD mounting, that is, a corresponding number of mounting PADs are set on the surface of the substrate, and then the crystal oscillator pins are mounted downward and outward after SMT printing solder paste. After the mounting is completed, it is soldered in a reflow furnace, and then chemical cleaning is used to remove the flux residue volatilized in the solder paste at the bottom of the device. After this mounting method is completed, the bottom of the device is suspended, and generally the bottom of the crystal oscillator needs to be filled with glue through the capillary action of UF glue. Due to the problems of warping and incomplete cleaning in the SMT mounting process, the bottom fill glue is not fully combined with the bonding surface of the crystal oscillator or the substrate during the UF glue bottom filling, which can easily cause the product to be delaminated during the thermal process, resulting in product failure.

[0004] Therefore, it is urgent to study a method to solve the filling and stratification of SMD crystal oscillators, so as to improve the filling and stratification problem of SMD crystal oscillators. Summary of the invention

[0005] In view of the above problems, the present invention provides a method for assembling a surface-mount crystal oscillator, which improves its filling delamination problem, enhances product reliability, and reduces quality risks.

[0006] A method for assembling a surface mount crystal oscillator, characterized in that:

[0007] The crystal oscillator is set at the outer side of the chip, with the surface of the crystal oscillator provided with the crystal oscillator PAD facing upward, and the surface of the crystal oscillator without the crystal oscillator PAD facing downward and supported on the surface of the substrate through an insulating adhesive layer, and then the crystal oscillator PAD on the crystal oscillator surface and the corresponding chip PAD at the exposed position of the chip are connected through welding wires to connect the crystal oscillator PAD and the chip PAD, and finally the exposed surface of the crystal oscillator, the welding wires and the exposed surface of the chip are plastic-sealed.

[0008] It is further characterized by:

[0009] The specific steps are as follows:

[0010] S1. Place the surface of the crystal oscillator with the crystal oscillator PAD facing upwards;

[0011] S2, setting the surface of the crystal oscillator without the crystal oscillator PAD as the back side, with the back side of the crystal oscillator facing downward, and evenly coating the back side of the crystal oscillator with insulating glue to form an insulating glue layer, and the bottom of the insulating glue layer is adhered to the corresponding surface area of ​​the substrate;

[0012] S3, perform pressure welding on each crystal oscillator PAD to weld one end of the independent welding wire to the crystal oscillator PAD;

[0013] S4, welding the other end of the independent welding wire to the chip PAD corresponding to the crystal oscillator PAD;

[0014] S5. Perform plastic encapsulation mold flow filling on the crystal oscillator, chip, bonding wire and the surface of the substrate in the corresponding area, and fill and protect the exposed surface of the crystal oscillator, the bonding wire and the exposed surface of the chip.

[0015] It is further characterized by:

[0016] The crystal oscillator has two crystal oscillator PADs on both sides of the exposed surface, and the two crystal oscillator PADs correspond to the corresponding chip PADs at adjacent positions on the upper surface of the chip;

[0017] Preferably, the two groups of bonding wires in steps S3 and S4 are point-to-point connections between the crystal oscillator PAD and the chip PAD, except for the transition part in the height direction, to ensure that the bonding wires are relatively short, thereby ensuring a stable and reliable connection arrangement;

[0018] Preferably, the back of the crystal oscillator is completely coated with insulating glue, and the insulating glue layer formed by the insulating glue includes a partial outer expansion edge, and the outer expansion edge can reliably cover the back of the crystal oscillator. The crystal oscillator is reliably attached to the corresponding surface of the substrate through the insulating glue by the attachment pressure device, and the attachment pressure device ensures that the entire back of the crystal oscillator receives a uniform and reliable pressure, and ensures the consistency of the thickness of the insulating glue layer in the back area of ​​the crystal oscillator;

[0019] Preferably, the thickness of the insulating adhesive layer in the back area of ​​the crystal oscillator in a wet adhesive state is 25 μm to 50 μm.

[0020] After adopting the above technical solution, the surface of the crystal oscillator facing the substrate has been completely covered and evenly filled with insulating glue during mounting. After the crystal oscillator PAD and the corresponding chip PAD are connected and interconnected by welding wires, there is no need to fill the bottom of the crystal oscillator again. Only plastic encapsulation mold flow filling is required to fill and protect the crystal oscillator surface, welding wires and chip surface, so that the outer surfaces of the crystal oscillator, welding wires and chip are all covered with plastic encapsulation material. This improves the filling stratification problem, improves product reliability and reduces quality risks. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0024] A crystal oscillator uses a crystal that can convert electrical energy and mechanical energy into each other and works in a resonant state to provide stable and accurate single-frequency oscillation. The function of a crystal oscillator is to provide a basic clock signal for the system. Usually a system shares a crystal oscillator to facilitate synchronization of various parts. Some communication systems use different crystal oscillators for baseband and radio frequency, and synchronize them by electronically adjusting the frequency. There are two types of crystal oscillators: SMD and DIP, that is, patch and pin types. The SMD type crystal oscillator is mounted with the crystal oscillator solder point facing down, combined with the PAD on the surface of the substrate through SMD soldering, and the bottom of the crystal oscillator is filled with UF or mold flow. Due to the problems of contamination and crystal tilting in the SMD soldering process, the combination of the filler and the crystal oscillator is prone to insufficient strength and delamination.

[0025] The present invention provides a method for assembling a surface-mount crystal oscillator, wherein a crystal oscillator 10 is arranged at an outer position of a chip 20, a surface of the crystal oscillator 10 provided with a crystal oscillator PAD11 is arranged upward, a surface of the crystal oscillator 10 not provided with the crystal oscillator PAD11 is arranged downward, and is supported on the surface of a substrate 40 through an insulating adhesive layer 30, then the crystal oscillator PAD11 on the surface of the crystal oscillator 10 and a corresponding chip PAD21 at an exposed position of the chip 20 are connected through a welding wire 50, so that the crystal oscillator PAD11 and the chip PAD21 are connected, and finally the exposed surface of the crystal oscillator 10, the welding wire 50 and the exposed surface of the chip 20 are plastic-sealed.

[0026] In a specific embodiment, the crystal oscillator 10 has two crystal oscillator PAD11 on both sides of the exposed surface, and the two crystal oscillator PAD11 correspond to the corresponding chip PAD21 at adjacent positions on the upper surface of the chip 20.

[0027] The specific steps are as follows:

[0028] S1, facing the surface of the crystal oscillator 10 with the crystal oscillator PAD11 upwards;

[0029] S2, with the surface of the crystal oscillator 10 not provided with the crystal oscillator PAD11 facing downward, evenly apply insulating glue on the surface to form an insulating glue layer 30, the bottom of the insulating glue layer 30 is adhered to the corresponding surface area of ​​the substrate 40; the back of the crystal oscillator 10 is completely coated with insulating glue, and the insulating glue layer 30 formed by the insulating glue includes a partial outer expansion edge 31, and the outer expansion edge 31 can reliably cover the back of the crystal oscillator 10, and the crystal oscillator 10 is reliably attached to the corresponding surface of the substrate 40 through the insulating glue by the attaching pressure device, and the attaching pressure device ensures that the entire back of the crystal oscillator 10 is subjected to a uniform and reliable pressing force, and ensures the consistency of the thickness of the insulating glue layer 30 in the back area of ​​the crystal oscillator 10. The thickness of the insulating glue layer 30 in the back area of ​​the crystal oscillator 10 in the wet glue state after being pressed into place is 25μm to 50μm;

[0030] S3, performing pressure welding on each crystal oscillator PAD11 to weld one end of the independent bonding wire 50 to the crystal oscillator PAD11;

[0031] S4, welding the other end of the independent welding wire 50 to the chip PAD21 corresponding to the crystal oscillator PAD11. After welding, the two welding wires are independently connected to a group of crystal oscillator PAD11 and chip PAD21;

[0032] S5. Perform plastic molding mold flow filling on the crystal oscillator 10, the chip 20, the bonding wire 50 and the surface of the substrate 40 in the corresponding area, and fill and protect the exposed surface of the crystal oscillator 10, the bonding wire 50 and the exposed surface of the chip 20, so that the plastic molding compound 60 wraps the crystal oscillator 10, the chip 20 and the bonding wire 50.

[0033] The two groups of bonding wires 50 in steps S3 and S4 are point-to-point connections between the crystal oscillator PAD and the chip PAD, except for the transition portion 51 in the height direction, to ensure that the bonding wires 50 are relatively short, thereby ensuring a stable and reliable connection arrangement.

[0034] The principle is as follows: the surface of the crystal oscillator facing the substrate has been completely covered and evenly filled with insulating glue during mounting. After the crystal oscillator PAD and the corresponding chip PAD are connected and interconnected by welding wires, there is no need to fill the bottom of the crystal oscillator again. Only plastic molding mold flow filling is required to fill and protect the crystal oscillator surface, welding wires and chip surface, so that the outer surfaces of the crystal oscillator, welding wires and chip are all covered with plastic molding compound. This improves the filling stratification problem, improves product reliability and reduces quality risks.
