Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of semiconductor device packaging, and in particular to a taping track feeding device. Background Art

[0002] Currently, after the semiconductor device is tested, it needs to be loaded into a tape before shipment. When loading the semiconductor device into the tape, a motor or a cylinder is usually used to press down the suction nozzle, and the suction nozzle moves downward under force to press the semiconductor device into the tape. However, when the semiconductor device on the suction nozzle is transported to the feeding port position above the tape by a large turntable, the position of the semiconductor device often shifts. At this time, when the suction nozzle presses down, the pins of the semiconductor device will touch the edge of the carrier tape, causing the pins of the semiconductor device to deform.

[0003] In order to avoid the pin deformation caused by the position shift of the semiconductor device, the traditional method is to open track holes of the same size on the sapphire track at the carrier tape feeding position according to the size of the carrier tape pocket. The semiconductor device enters the carrier tape pocket through the track hole, and when the semiconductor device enters the pocket, it will be visually inspected at the next station. This station mainly detects the printing on the surface of the semiconductor device and the length difference of the pins.

[0004] However, when the position of the semiconductor device shifts during operation, the pins of the semiconductor device will rub against the edge of the track feeding hole when entering the carrier tape pocket, still causing the pins of the semiconductor device to deform. In addition, due to the reflection of the existing sapphire track and the wear of the lens, the light source is reflected, resulting in poor camera imaging. Eventually, when the printing of the semiconductor device is abnormal or the pins are abnormal, they cannot be effectively removed. Therefore, how to avoid the pin deformation of the semiconductor device caused by the position shift of the semiconductor device is an urgent problem to be solved. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The present application aims to at least solve the technical problems existing in the prior art. For this reason, in the first aspect of the present application, a taping track feeding device is proposed, which is characterized in that it includes a taping track base, a feeding cover plate, a visual inspection cover plate and a guiding cover plate. The feeding cover plate, the visual inspection cover plate and the guiding cover plate are respectively fixedly connected to the taping track base; Four limiting edges with inclined guides are provided on the feeding cover plate, and an anti-reflection coating is sprayed on the visual inspection cover plate.

[0006] In a possible implementation manner, the feeding cover plate is composed of a rectangular parallelepiped steel. An inlet hole is provided in the center of the rectangular parallelepiped steel, and four limiting edges with inclined guides are provided around the inlet hole.

[0007] In a possible implementation manner, the size of the rectangular parallelepiped steel is , and the size of the inlet hole is .

[0008] In a possible implementation, the visual inspection cover plate is made of rectangular steel, and an anti-reflective coating is sprayed on the rectangular steel. The anti-reflective coating is a black coating.

[0009] In a possible implementation, the dimensions of the rectangular steel are .

[0010] In a possible implementation, a detection hole is provided at the center of the rectangular steel. The detection hole is set according to the printing position and pin position of the semiconductor device.

[0015] The technical solutions provided by the embodiments of the present application can at least achieve the following beneficial effects: The taping track feeding device provided by the embodiment of the present application includes a taping track base, a feeding cover plate, a vision inspection cover plate, and a guiding cover plate. The feeding cover plate, the vision inspection cover plate, and the guiding cover plate are respectively fixedly connected to the taping track base. Four limiting edges with inclined guides are provided on the feeding cover plate, and an anti-reflection coating is sprayed on the vision inspection cover plate. In this solution, four limiting edges with inclined guides for the loading pocket feeding holes of the carrier tape are designed according to the shape characteristics of the semiconductor device. When the semiconductor device is tilted or offset in position when it reaches the loading pocket feeding hole position through transfer, the semiconductor device will be corrected in angle by the four limiting edges with inclined guides when vertically entering the loading pocket, thus avoiding deformation of the semiconductor device pins. In addition, at the vision inspection station, by avoiding the black mechanical limits of the semiconductor device printing and pins, and the extending direction of the mechanical limit is consistent with the taping track direction, it is ensured that the products in the carrier tape will not be scratched by the limit during operation, causing abnormalities. And because there are no problems of reflection and blurring caused by wear on the black mechanical limit, the vision system can accurately detect the printing and pin dimensions of the semiconductor device, ensuring that abnormal semiconductor devices can be accurately removed, improving the quality of semiconductor devices. At the same time, by improving from the root causes of the abnormal generation and outflow of semiconductor device pins, the situation of abnormal semiconductor device pins being sent to the client is completely solved, improving the product quality, and the equipment risks can be identified in advance. And the cost of this solution is extremely low, which can reduce the equipment R & D cost and improve the processing quality of semiconductor devices. Description of the Drawings

Detailed Embodiment

[0018] Exemplary embodiments will be described in detail herein, and examples thereof are shown in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the accompanying drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present application. On the contrary, they are merely examples of devices and methods consistent with some aspects of the present application as detailed in the appended claims.

[0019] Currently, after the semiconductor device is tested, it needs to be loaded into a tape before it can be shipped. When loading the semiconductor device into the tape, a motor or a cylinder is usually used to press down the suction nozzle, and the suction nozzle moves downward under force to press the semiconductor device into the tape. However, when the semiconductor device on the suction nozzle is transported to the feeding port position above the tape by the main turntable, the position of the semiconductor device often shifts. At this time, when the suction nozzle presses down, the pins of the semiconductor device may touch the edge of the carrier tape, resulting in deformation of the pins of the semiconductor device. For such semiconductor devices with deformed pins, the visual system of the tape often cannot effectively remove such defects due to factors such as wear and reflection of the sapphire track lens, ultimately resulting in the shipment of defective products with defective pins.

[0020] The common practice in the industry currently is to open track holes of the same size according to the size of the carrier tape pocket at the track position of the carrier tape feeding. The semiconductor device enters the carrier tape pocket through the track hole. When the position of the semiconductor device shifts during operation, the pins of the semiconductor device will rub against the edge of the track feeding hole when entering the carrier tape pocket, resulting in deformation of the pins of the semiconductor device. In addition, when the semiconductor device enters the pocket, it will be visually inspected at the next station. This station mainly detects the printing on the surface of the semiconductor device and the length difference of the pins. However, due to the reflection and wear of the sapphire track, the light source reflects, and the camera imaging is poor, ultimately making it impossible to effectively reject the semiconductor device when the printing or the pins are abnormal.

[0021] Based on this, the present application proposes a taping track feeding device. In this solution, four limiting edges with inclined guides are designed for the feeding holes of the carrier tape pocket according to the shape characteristics of semiconductor devices. When the semiconductor device is tilted or offset in position when it reaches the feeding hole position of the carrier tape pocket through transportation, the semiconductor device will have its angle corrected by the four limiting edges with inclined guides when vertically entering the carrier tape pocket, thus avoiding deformation of the semiconductor device pins. Additionally, at the vision inspection station, by avoiding the black mechanical limits of the semiconductor device printing and pins, and the extension direction of the mechanical limits is consistent with the taping track direction, it is ensured that the products in the carrier tape will not be scratched by the limits during operation, preventing abnormalities. Moreover, since there are no problems of reflection and blurring caused by wear on the black mechanical limits, the vision system can accurately detect the printing and pin dimensions of the semiconductor device, ensuring that abnormal semiconductor devices can be accurately removed, improving the quality of semiconductor devices. At the same time, by improving from the root causes of semiconductor device pin abnormalities and the reasons for their outflow, the situation of semiconductor device pin abnormalities reaching the client is completely solved, improving product quality. Also, equipment risks can be identified in advance, and the cost of this solution is extremely low, which can reduce the equipment R & D cost and improve the processing quality of semiconductor devices.
