Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of chip transfer equipment, specifically a wafer die-bonding co-guide rigid-flexible compound motion die-bonding equipment. Background Technique

[0002] Operations such as Mini / Micro LED chip transfer require the motion platform to start and stop frequently, providing a time window of several milliseconds to achieve array operations. Although the stroke is short, the motion platform cannot reach a high speed due to frequent starts and stops, resulting in low efficiency and high energy consumption.

[0003] Taking Mini LED transfer as an example, hundreds of chips need to be transferred per second, but the motion platform starts and stops repeatedly, and the positioning can only be within twenty times per second, resulting in low efficiency. Secondly, the motion platform accelerates and decelerates frequently, requiring a large-thrust motor, so it is heavy and costly. Finally, the braking force during deceleration of the motion platform dissipates kinetic energy, resulting in a large amount of energy loss, which is not conducive to realizing green manufacturing.

[0004] In the prior art, a chip mass transfer method and a chip mass transfer device with the Chinese patent publication number of CN113937039B provide a rigid-flexible compound motion double-gantry die-bonding scheme, which is suitable for large panel manufacturing and the equipment cost is relatively high. In addition, although the single-sided drive flexible hinge two-dimensional platform can achieve a large range of high-speed displacement response, it cannot adjust the rotation posture of the wafer. Finally, the single-sided drive flexible hinge die-bonding platform proposed in the prior art has displacement coupling. When the die-bonding frequency is as high as 100Hz and the entire cycle is only 10ms, the displacement coupling compensation brings difficulties to speed regulation and die-bonding motion control.

[0005] Most of the existing Mini LEDs use swing-arm die-bonding equipment, and the panel size that can be transferred is only a few inches. The direct-view panels are all made of small panels spliced together. There are die-bonding equipment on the market that use a fixed gantry. The die-bonding motion platform is installed on the side of the gantry crossbeam, and the wafer motion platform is installed at the bottom of the crossbeam. It is necessary to ensure the horizontal and verticality of the die-bonding and wafer platforms, which is difficult to install.

[0006] Based on this, this utility model designs a wafer die-bonding co-guide rigid-flexible compound motion die-bonding equipment to solve the above problems. Content of the Utility Model

[0029] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present utility model are:

[0030] The present utility model adopts a fixed gantry structure, with only one set of guide rails installed on the cross beam, a die bonding platform and a wafer platform installed on the guide rails, the die bonding platform is in the middle, and the wafer platforms are arranged on both sides of the die bonding platform, which is easy to install and has low cost.

[0058] Embodiment 1

[0059] Please refer to Figures 1-4, in the die bonding co-guide rigid-flexible compound motion die bonding equipment provided by the present utility model, it includes an equipment base 1, a gantry 2, a guide rail assembly 3 horizontally arranged on the gantry 2, a wafer rotating table mechanism 6, a Z-axis base 4 vertically arranged, and a die bonding head assembly 5. Among them, the gantry 2 is fixed on one side of the top of the equipment base 1. A panel adjustment table 11 that can move longitudinally is arranged at the middle position of the top of the equipment base 1. Before chip transfer, the chip substrate is placed on the top of the panel adjustment table 11. The panel adjustment table 11 can adjust the height and the front and back positions, that is, freely adjust in the Y-axis and Z-axis directions corresponding to the present utility model, so as to adjust the position of the chip substrate. During die bonding, the panel adjustment table 11 moves along the Y-axis to adapt to the movement action of completing die bonding for each row of chips on the chip substrate and prepare for the next row. Since this is prior art, it will not be elaborated here. The guide rail assembly 3 includes at least one set of side guide rails 31. Considering better support stability, two sets of parallel side guide rails 31 can also be installed, such as Figure 6 . The side guide rails 31 are horizontally installed on the cross beam 21 at the top of the gantry 2 and are fixedly installed on the side of the cross beam 21. A plurality of first sliding components 32 and second sliding components 33 are slidably installed on the side guide rails 31. Among them, the first sliding component 32 is fixedly installed with the wafer rotating table mechanism 6 located below it, that is, connected to the Y-axis base 61, driving the wafer rotating table mechanism 6 to move in the X-axis direction; the second sliding component 33 is fixedly installed with the height adjustment mechanism, driving the Z-axis base 4 and the die bonding head assembly 5 to move synchronously in the X-axis direction. The height adjustment mechanism includes a moving seat 41 between the Z-axis base 4 and the guide rail assembly 3 and a first servo motor 42. The moving seat 41 is installed up and down with the Z-axis base 4. The first servo motor 42 is vertically installed on the moving seat 41, and the output end of the first servo motor 42 drives the Z-axis base 4 and the die bonding head assembly 5 to move synchronously in the Z-axis direction.

[0060] In this embodiment, as Figure 5 shown, a fixed gantry structure is adopted. Only one set of guide rail structure is installed on the cross beam 21. The die bonding platform and the wafer platform are installed on the guide rail at the same time. That is, the movement position of the die bonding head assembly 5 is in the middle of the guide rail, and the movement position of the wafer rotating table mechanism 6 is set on both sides of the die bonding head assembly 5. In this way, the installation is easy and the cost is low.

[0061] In the above, the die bonding head assembly 5 and the wafer rotating table mechanism 6 move along the length direction of the guide rail assembly 3 to adjust the X-axis direction position of the die bonding head 58 and the wafer 629.

[0062] In the above, a height adjustment mechanism for the die bonding head assembly 5 is arranged between the Z-axis base 4 and the guide rail assembly 3 to adjust the Z-axis direction position of the die bonding head 58.

[0063] In the above, a Y-axis linear drive mechanism is arranged between the wafer rotating table mechanism 6 and the guide rail assembly 3 to adjust the Y-axis direction position of the wafer 629.

[0064] Further, it should be noted that Figure 8 In Figure 8 , the die bonding head assembly 5 includes a die bonding base 51, a first voice coil motor 52, a symmetric flexible hinge 53, a first-stage flexible platform 54, a second voice coil motor 55, a single-sided / symmetric flexible hinge 56, and a second-stage flexible platform 57. Among them, the first voice coil motor 52 is fixed on one inner side of the die bonding base 51. The symmetric flexible hinge 53 consists of two parallel flexible hinge plates, which are vertically installed on one side of the first voice coil motor 52. And the output end of the first voice coil motor 52 is fixedly installed at the middle part of one of the flexible hinges of the symmetric flexible hinge 53. The symmetric flexible hinge 53 is connected to the single-sided / symmetric flexible hinge 56 through the first-stage flexible platform 54. The single-sided / symmetric flexible hinge 56 is connected to the second voice coil motor 55 through the second-stage flexible platform 57. The single-sided / symmetric flexible hinge 56 also consists of two parallel flexible hinge plates, which are horizontally installed at the middle part of the symmetric flexible hinge 53, forming an H-shaped stable guiding structure. The die bonding head 58 is installed at the bottom of the second-stage flexible platform 57 to transfer the chips on the wafer 629 to the chip substrate at the bottom of the wafer 629.

[0065] Among them, the first voice coil motor 52 is a circular voice coil motor with high thrust density. The second voice coil motor 55 is a mountain-shaped voice coil motor that allows the mover to move laterally and has a gap in the width direction. A first grating 59 is arranged in the moving direction of the symmetric flexible hinge 53. The first grating 59 is fixed on the first-stage flexible platform 54 to measure the moving position of the first-stage flexible platform 54. The first grating 59 is a standard grating scale. The first-stage flexible platform 54 uses a standard circular voice coil motor with high thrust density in cooperation with a standard grating scale, improving the utilization efficiency of standard components and reducing the manufacturing cost. In addition, a second grating 510 is arranged in the moving direction of the single-sided / symmetric flexible hinge 56. The second grating 510 is fixed on the second-stage flexible platform 57 to measure the moving position of the second-stage flexible platform 57. The second grating 510 uses a grating scale with a grating line width larger than that of the first grating 59. The second-stage flexible platform 57 uses a decoupled mountain-shaped voice coil motor and a wide grating line grating scale to achieve the decoupling of drive and feedback, reducing the difficulty of displacement coupling control and significantly improving the die bonding efficiency, which is increased from dozens of chip transfer speeds per second originally to hundreds of times.

[0066] As elaborated in detail above, in the thimble head assembly 5, the first-stage flexible platform 54 adopts a symmetrically arranged flexible hinge guiding mechanism, namely the symmetric flexible hinge 53. This has no vertical parasitic displacement, and a circular voice coil motor with a large thrust density, namely the first voice coil motor 52, can be used. Therefore, only a standard grating scale needs to be installed to achieve displacement measurement. The second-stage flexible platform 57 also adopts a parallel arranged flexible hinge, namely the single-sided / symmetric flexible hinge 56, which has no lateral parasitic displacement. A voice coil motor with a gap in the width direction, namely the second voice coil motor 55, needs to be installed, and a grating scale with a wider grating line needs to be installed so that the second-stage flexible platform 57 can work properly when the first-stage flexible platform 54 moves.

[0067] This utility model adopts a single-stage flexible hinge mechanism, and a single mode is easier to control. Additionally, repeatedly, since the inertia of the first-stage flexible platform 54 is larger than that of the second-stage flexible platform 57, circular voice coil motors with a large thrust density are respectively adopted to achieve an equal working frequency design. Moreover, the first-stage flexible platform 54 has a larger space, and longer symmetric flexible hinges 53 are symmetrically arranged. The symmetric arrangement is to avoid lateral parasitic displacement, and the longer flexible hinges are to reduce the stress stiffening phenomenon.

[0068] Furthermore, as Figure 10 , Figure 11 shown, the wafer rotating table mechanism 6 is designed as a combination of a series of double flexible platforms and a parallel double drive device. The second-stage inner flexible unit 628 is directly connected to the first-stage outer flexible unit 627 through a flexible hinge, facilitating the realization of motion superposition. Specifically, the wafer rotating table mechanism 6 includes a Y-axis base 61 and a wafer assembly 62 slidably mounted at the bottom of the Y-axis base 61. The wafer assembly 62 includes a wafer base 621 and a rotating table 622 rotatably mounted on the top of the wafer base 621. The wafer 629 is located inside the rotating table 622. An outer frame 623 and an inner frame 624 are provided between the inner wall of the rotating table 622 and the wafer 629. The outer frame 623 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the rotating table 622. Both sides of the outer end face of the inner frame 624 are connected to the outer frame 623 through outer flexible units 627, and both sides of the inner end face of the inner frame 624 are connected to the wafer 629 through inner flexible units 628. The outer flexible units 627 and the inner flexible units 628 are arranged in a staggered manner around the wafer 629.

[0069] One side of the above-mentioned outer flexible unit 627 and inner flexible unit 628 is a hook-type flexible hinge combination mechanism, and the other side is a sheet-type flexible hinge. The hook-type flexible hinge combination mechanism includes two mutually cooperating L-shaped hook blocks and a sheet-type flexible hinge connected between the two L-shaped hook blocks, as Figure 11As shown, one end of an L-shaped hook block is connected to the inner wall of the outer frame 623, and one end of another L-shaped hook block is connected to the outer wall of the inner frame 624, forming a flexible connection structure among the outer frame 623, the inner frame 624, and the wafer 629.

[0070] The wafer rotating table mechanism 6 further includes a first driving device 625 and a second driving device 626 that are fixedly installed on the inner wall of the outer frame 623 and driven in parallel. The driving end of the first driving device 625 is fixedly connected to the inner frame 624 and is used to drive the wafer 629 to move longitudinally. The driving end of the second driving device 626 is fixedly connected to the wafer 629 to make it move laterally. When there are displacement deviations in both the lateral and longitudinal directions of the first driving device 625 and the second driving device 626, the first driving device 625 and the second driving device 626 are synchronously driven for quick response and adjustment. It can also perform position adjustment by individually driving when there is an offset in the lateral or longitudinal direction.

[0071] In the above, both the first driving device 625 and the second driving device 626 adopt voice coil motors driven by non-contact electromagnetic force, such as voice coil motors composed of a magnetic yoke and a coil. When a single-sided guiding flexible hinge is adopted, that is, Figure 11 one side is a hook-type flexible hinge combination mechanism, and the other side is a symmetric flexible guiding structure composed of a sheet-type flexible hinge. It has a large linear range, the flexible hinge deforms unilaterally, can achieve large displacements, is suitable for using a voice coil motor whose driving force is independent of distance, has a fast response, the magnetic yoke of the voice coil motor is on the outer frame 623 at the fixed end, and the coil is on the mobile end of the platform, realizing displacement coupling control with high control accuracy.

[0072] Among them, in order to reduce the motion load of the flexible hinge, the stator of the driving motor with a large mass is installed on the outer layer frame, that is, the motor with a large inertia is installed on the outer frame 623, which is suitable for infrequent adjustments. Only the mover with a light mass is installed on the outer flexible unit 627 and the inner flexible unit 628. At the same time, the light-weight wafer 629 is arranged in the two-dimensional inner flexible unit 628.

[0073] In addition, the wafer rotating table mechanism 6 further includes a second servo motor 63. The output end of the second servo motor 63 is fixedly connected to a worm 64, and the worm 64 is rotatably installed on the wafer base 621; a rack is provided on the outer ring of the rotating table 622, and the worm 64 is adapted to the rack. The second servo motor 63 is used to drive the worm 64 and the rack to be sequentially driven, so that the rotating table 622 drives the wafer 629 to rotate, achieving the purpose of rotation deviation correction, and is applicable to the rapid rotation attitude adjustment and rapid high-precision positioning of the wafer in the Mini / Micro LED high-speed die-bonding equipment.

[0074] Embodiment 2.

[0075] Please refer to Figure 7, based on the side guide rail 31 in the first embodiment, the guide rail assembly 3 further includes a bottom guide rail 34. The bottom guide rail 34 is parallel to the side guide rail 31 and is arranged on the side of the cross beam 21 away from the side guide rail 31. This structural design not only maintains a certain distance between the upper and lower guide rails to reduce the rigid friction force, but also further improves the installation stability of the entire die bonding device.

[0076] The bottom of the bottom guide rail 34 is respectively slidably installed with the bottom support plate 35 and the Y-axis base 61. Among them, the bottom support plate 35 is connected to the height adjustment mechanism to form an overall support structure, and the bottom guide rail 34 also provides stable support for strengthening the wafer rotating table mechanism 6.

[0077] Embodiment Three

[0078] Please refer to Figure 9 , compared with the die bonding head assembly 5 in the first embodiment, the single-sided / symmetric flexible hinge 56 is horizontally installed on the side of the symmetric flexible hinge 53 away from the first voice coil motor 52, and the rest of the structure and connection relationship are the same. On this far side, the single-sided / symmetric flexible hinge 56 is connected to the second voice coil motor 55 through the second-stage flexible platform 57. The single-sided / symmetric flexible hinge 56 is also two parallel flexible hinge plates, which are horizontally installed between the first-stage flexible platform 53 and the second-stage flexible platform 57. The second voice coil motor 55 is located at the top of the second-stage flexible platform 57, and the die bonding head 58 is installed at the bottom of the second-stage flexible platform 57 to transfer the chips on the wafer 629 to the chip substrate at the bottom of the wafer 629.

[0079] Among them, in order to reduce the coupling degree of the die bonding platform and reduce the manufacturing cost, for the two-dimensional flexible hinge die bonding mechanism composed of the above first-stage symmetric flexible hinge 53 and second-stage single-sided / symmetric flexible hinge 56, the flexible hinge adopts a large-stroke flexible hinge with single-sided guidance arranged in parallel or symmetrically arranged to form a flexible hinge structure with non-linear stiffness.

[0080] Embodiment Four

[0081] Please refer to Figure 12 , compared with the wafer rotating table mechanism 6 in the first embodiment, both sides of the outer flexible unit 627 and the inner flexible unit 628 are sheet-type flexible hinges, and the rest of the structure and connection relationship of the wafer rotating table mechanism 6 are the same. When using the symmetric flexible hinge structure of the outer flexible unit 627 and the inner flexible unit 628, the displacement is not coupled, so stress stiffening occurs, the stiffness is large, and a greater thrust is required. The first driving device 625 and the second driving device 626 both adopt flat motors driven by non-contact electromagnetic force, which are composed of permanent magnets and electromagnets. The electromagnets are on the outer frame 623 at the fixed end, and the permanent magnets are at the moving end, and it also has the advantage of being easy to dissipate heat.

[0082] Therefore, in this solution, when a symmetrically fixed-guided flexible hinge is adopted, the flexible hinge has highly nonlinear characteristics and is suitable for a double-single-stage iron-core motor with a thrust inversely proportional to the square of the distance. The maximum driving force is obtained at the point where the stiffness of the flexible hinge is the largest, compensating for the nonlinearity of the stiffness of the rigid and flexible components.

[0083] In addition to the field of panel die bonding, the common-rail rigid-flexible composite motion platform of the present utility can also be applied to large-format inspection equipment, dispensing equipment, welding equipment, etc.

[0084] In the above content, the exemplary implementation manners of the solution proposed by the present utility are described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments. However, those skilled in the art can understand that, without departing from the concept of the present utility, various modifications and variations can be made to the above specific embodiments, and various combinations of the technical features and structures proposed by the present utility can be made without exceeding the protection scope of the present utility. The protection scope of the present utility is determined by the appended claims.
