Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of BGA solder ball production, and particularly relates to a BGA solder ball height detection device. Background Art

[0002] BGA chips with multiple solder balls vary widely, and the uniformity of their size and height directly impacts their quality. Process errors in existing production processes can lead to inconsistent solder ball heights, potentially resulting in quality defects. Therefore, BGA ball height measurement is essential. The current measurement solution uses a 3D line spectrum confocal sensor, such as the SPEC1020, for non-contact measurement. The sensor scans the BGA chip perpendicular to the machine platform, capturing the three-dimensional surface topography and defects of the solder balls using post-processing measurement software. The sensor then calculates the solder ball height and coplanarity standard deviation. This sensor offers high measurement accuracy, wide angular adaptability, and robust environmental compatibility, making it suitable for a wide range of surface types. However, the height measurement process can be subject to errors caused by other factors that 3D line spectrum confocal sensors cannot address. For example, uneven chip placement during initial inspection can lead to measurement errors.

[0003] Therefore, in order to solve the deficiencies in the prior art, a BGA solder ball height detection device with a simple structure needs to be designed. Utility Model Content

[0010] Compared with the existing technology, the beneficial effects of the BGA solder ball height detection device of the utility model are:

[0011] The BGA solder ball chip to be inspected is placed on the base plate, and the motor drives the active wheel to rotate, which in turn drives the horizontal rack to move and drive the driving gear 2 to rotate synchronously. The rotation of the driving gear 2 drives the driving gear 1 to rotate synchronously. Each driving gear 1 drives the rack rod to move downward synchronously, and drives the pressure plate to move downward synchronously to clamp the upper ends of the BGA solder ball chip, thereby clamping and fixing the chip and stabilizing its position. Then, two sets of upper infrared sensors are attached to the upper surface of the BGA solder ball chip to transmit infrared rays to the upper receiver, and two sets of lower infrared sensors are attached to the lower surface of the BGA solder ball chip to transmit infrared rays to the lower receiver. When both the upper and lower receivers receive the infrared signal, it can be ensured that the BGA solder ball chip does not tilt left and right and remains level, thereby improving the detection accuracy. The BGA chip is scanned by the D-line spectral confocal sensor in conjunction with the moving mechanism, and the three-dimensional surface morphology and defects of the solder ball are obtained through post-processing measurement software, and the solder ball height and coplanarity standard deviation are calculated.
