Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of integrated circuit manufacturing, in particular to an adsorption device. Background Art
[0002] The ECP (Embedded Chip Package) structure adopts the form of surface-mounted inductors without packaging. In order to improve the performance of the ECP structure, multiple inductors and other components are usually mounted on top of the chip at the same time. However, on the one hand, there are height differences between inductors with different structures or functions; on the other hand, even for inductors with the same structure, the height tolerance of the inductor itself is ±0.1, which leads to the height difference between two inductors in the same ECP structure may reach 0.2. When mounting the inductor on top of the chip, it is necessary to use an adsorption device to adsorb multiple inductors at the same time. However, due to the height difference between different inductors and the suction nozzle of the adsorption device is a hard nozzle, on the one hand, there may be a problem of vacuum leakage during adsorption; on the other hand, it may cause the adsorption device to fail to contact the inductor with a lower height, resulting in problems such as material falling during the adsorption process or deviation during the discharge process, affecting the yield and efficiency of semiconductor manufacturing.

[0029] The specific implementation of the adsorption device provided by the utility model is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0030] This specific embodiment provides an adsorption device, Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the adsorption device in a specific embodiment of the present utility model. Figure 1 As shown, the adsorption device includes:
[0031] The vacuum nozzle 10 includes a nozzle head 101 and a connection end that are relatively distributed along a first direction D1. The nozzle head 101 is used to absorb components. A plurality of vacuum nozzles 10 are arranged at intervals along a second direction D2. The first direction D1 and the second direction D2 intersect perpendicularly.
[0032] A piston assembly, wherein the plurality of piston assemblies correspond to the plurality of vacuum nozzles 10 respectively, and each piston assembly is connected to the connection end of the corresponding vacuum nozzle 10 along the first direction D1, and the piston assembly can drive the vacuum nozzle 10 to move along the first direction D1.
[0033] For example, the first direction D1 can be a vertical direction, and the second direction D2 can be a horizontal direction perpendicular to the vertical direction. The plurality of vacuum nozzles 10 are arranged at intervals along the second direction D2, so that the plurality of vacuum nozzles 10 can simultaneously vacuum adsorb multiple components, or the plurality of vacuum nozzles can simultaneously adsorb multiple areas of a component. The plurality of piston assemblies are respectively connected to the connection ends of the plurality of vacuum nozzles 10, so that the plurality of vacuum nozzles 10 can be driven to move along the first direction D1 (for example, to move up and down in the vertical direction) by the plurality of piston assemblies. The plurality mentioned in this specific embodiment refers to more than two.
[0034] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the structure to be adsorbed in a specific embodiment of the present invention. Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the adsorption device in a specific embodiment of the present invention adsorbing the structure to be adsorbed. Figure 2 As shown, the structure to be adsorbed includes a mounting layer 20 and a first component 21 and a second component 22 located on the mounting layer 20, with the first component 21 being higher than the second component 22 along the first direction D1. For example, when the adsorption device includes two vacuum nozzles 10 spaced apart along the second direction D2, in the initial state, the two vacuum nozzles 10 are at the same height. When the adsorption device adsorbs the first component 21 and the second component 22 on the mounting layer 20, the two vacuum nozzles 10 simultaneously descend along the first direction D1. When one of the vacuum nozzles 10 adsorbs the higher first component 21, the other vacuum nozzle 10 has not yet made contact with the lower second component 22. At this point, if downward pressure is continued on the two vacuum nozzles 10 (e.g., downward in the first direction D1), the vacuum nozzle 10 that has already vacuum-adsorbed the first component 21 can move upward along the first direction D1 under the drive of the piston assembly connected thereto, thereby creating a height difference between the two vacuum nozzles 10. When the other vacuum nozzle 10 is lowered under the action of downward pressure to contact the second component 22 and adsorb the second component 22, the vacuum nozzle 10 that vacuum adsorbs the first component 21 also stops moving accordingly, so that the two vacuum nozzles 10 maintain a certain height difference, such as Figure 3The adsorption device can simultaneously adsorb components of different heights, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the adsorption device in adsorbing components of different heights, avoiding the problem of material dropping or incorrect material discharge during the adsorption process, and improving the yield and efficiency of semiconductor manufacturing.
[0035] For another example, when the suction device includes two vacuum nozzles 10 spaced apart along the second direction D2, in the initial state, the two vacuum nozzles 10 are at the same height. When the suction device suctions a third component, due to process steps, there is a height difference between the suction surfaces of the third component. After one of the two vacuum nozzles 10 contacts a higher area on the suction surface of the third component, pressure is continued to be applied to both vacuum nozzles 10. At this time, the vacuum nozzle 10 that has vacuum-sucked the higher area of the suction surface of the third component can be driven by the piston assembly connected thereto to move upward along the first direction D1 until the other vacuum nozzle 10 vacuum-sucks the lower area of the suction surface of the third component. When the suction device suctions the same component using multiple vacuum nozzles 10, the suction forces between the different vacuum nozzles can be balanced, avoiding uneven force on the suction device when suctioning a single component, thereby further improving the stability and reliability of suction.
[0036] In some embodiments, the adsorption device further comprises:
[0037] A first shell 13 surrounds and forms a first cavity, wherein the first cavity is filled with a liquid 14;
[0038] The piston assembly includes a piston 111 located in the first cavity and a connecting rod 112 at least partially located in the first cavity. One end of the connecting rod 112 is connected to the piston 111 and the other end is connected to the connecting end of the vacuum nozzle 10.
[0039] Specifically, the first housing 13 surrounds and forms a sealed first cavity, and the liquid 14 is filled in the first cavity, and the piston assembly is disposed in the first cavity, thereby forming a sealed hydraulic piston structure. In one example, the liquid 14 is hydraulic oil. For example, Figure 3As shown, by applying pressure to the first housing 13, all of the vacuum nozzles 10 connected to the first housing 13 move downward in the first direction D1. When one of the vacuum nozzles 10 is sucking the higher first component 21, the other vacuum nozzle 10 has not yet made contact with the lower second component 22. When pressure continues to be applied to the first housing 13, the vacuum nozzle 10 that has already vacuum-sucked the first component 21, under the action of the reaction force of the pressure, is automatically driven by the piston assembly connected to the vacuum nozzle 10 to move upward in the first direction D1, thereby enabling the two vacuum nozzles 10 to adaptively adjust the height difference without the need for an additional piston assembly drive structure, allowing the suction device to flexibly and conveniently suck components of various height differences. When the other vacuum nozzle 10, under the action of pressure, descends until it contacts and sucks the second component 22, the vacuum nozzle 10 that has vacuum-sucked the first component 21 also stops moving accordingly.
[0040] In some embodiments, the plurality of piston assemblies are symmetrically distributed about the center of the first cavity, and the plurality of piston assemblies are correspondingly connected to the plurality of vacuum nozzles 10 one by one.
[0041] Specifically, the symmetrical distribution of the multiple piston assemblies about the center of the first cavity further balances the suction force applied by the suction device to components, preventing damage to the components due to uneven pressure. By connecting the multiple piston assemblies one by one to the multiple vacuum nozzles 10, the height of each vacuum nozzle 10 (e.g., along the first direction D1) can be independently adjusted, further enhancing the application areas and suction stability of the suction device.
[0042] In some embodiments, the adsorption device further comprises:
[0043] The isolation plate 15 is located in the first cavity. The isolation plate 15 divides the first cavity into a plurality of piston cylinders. The plurality of piston assemblies are respectively located in the plurality of piston cylinders.
[0044] Specifically, by arranging the isolation plate 15 in the first cavity, on the one hand, the adjacent piston assemblies can be isolated to avoid mutual influence between the adjacent piston assemblies; on the other hand, it also helps to limit the position of each piston assembly in the first cavity to ensure the performance stability of the adsorption device.
[0045] In some embodiments, the adsorption device further comprises:
[0046] The raised portion 16 is connected to the end of the first shell 13 facing the vacuum nozzle 10 along the first direction D1 . The raised portion 16 is used to isolate adjacent vacuum nozzles 10 .
[0047] Specifically, the raised portion 16 is aligned with the isolation plate 15 along the first direction D1. Providing the raised portion 16 below the first housing 13 along the first direction D1 not only isolates adjacent vacuum nozzles 10 from each other, but also helps define the position of each vacuum nozzle 10.
[0048] In some embodiments, the plurality of piston cylinders are interconnected, and the liquid 14 is continuously distributed in the plurality of piston cylinders; or,
[0049] Any two adjacent piston cylinders are isolated from each other, and each piston cylinder is filled with the liquid 14 .
[0050] In some embodiments, the adsorption device further comprises:
[0051] The second shell 17 surrounds and forms a second cavity, and the first shell 13 is located in the second cavity;
[0052] The vacuum channel 18 is located between the first shell 13 and the second shell 17 . The side wall of the vacuum nozzle 10 has an opening 19 communicating with the vacuum channel 18 .
[0053] Specifically, the vacuum channel 18 includes a first port 181 and a second port 182 that are relatively distributed. The first port 181 is connected to the opening 19 on the side wall of the vacuum nozzle 10, and the second port 182 is used to connect to a vacuum pump, so that the vacuum channel 18 and the vacuum nozzle 10 can be evacuated by the vacuum pump. By providing the opening 19 for vacuuming on the side wall of the vacuum nozzle 10, it is possible to effectively avoid vacuum leakage when the vacuum nozzle 10 moves up and down along the first direction D1, thereby ensuring that the vacuum nozzle 10 can maintain stable suction of components when it moves along the first direction D1 driven by the piston assembly. In this specific embodiment, the side wall of the vacuum nozzle 10 refers to the portion located between the nozzle head 101 and the connecting end. In one example, the vacuum nozzle includes the nozzle head 101 and the connecting end, which are arranged relative to each other along the first direction D1, and a nozzle rod located between the nozzle head 101 and the connecting end, with both ends of the nozzle rod being connected to the nozzle head 101 and the connecting end, respectively. The opening 19 is located on a side wall of the nozzle rod.
[0054] In some embodiments, the width of the opening 19 is greater than or equal to the inner diameter of the vacuum channel 18 .
[0055] For example, the width of the opening 19 along the first direction D1 is greater than or equal to the inner diameter of the vacuum channel 18 to ensure that the vacuum nozzle 10 remains connected to the vacuum channel 18 when it moves along the first direction D1 driven by the piston assembly.
[0056] In some embodiments, the plurality of vacuum channels 18 are connected to the openings 19 on the side walls of the plurality of vacuum nozzles 10 in a one-to-one correspondence, so as to flexibly control the vacuum suction force of each vacuum nozzle 10 .
[0057] In some embodiments, the vacuum nozzle 10 passes through the second housing 17 along the first direction D1;
[0058] The first shell 13 includes a top surface and a bottom surface relatively distributed along the first direction D1. The vacuum channel 18 includes a first vacuum channel located between the side wall of the first shell 13 and the second shell 17, and a second vacuum channel located between the bottom surface of the first shell 13 and the second shell 17. The second vacuum channel is connected to the opening 19 on the side wall of the vacuum nozzle 10.
[0059] For example, the vacuum channel 18 is L-shaped, that is, the vacuum channel 18 includes the first vacuum channel and the second vacuum channel that are vertically connected. The first vacuum channel is located between the side wall of the first shell 13 and the second shell 17 and extends along the first direction D1. The second vacuum channel is located between the bottom surface of the first shell 13 and the second shell 17 and extends along the second direction D2, so as not only to fully utilize the space in the adsorption device, but also to facilitate the connection of the vacuum pump.
[0060] The adsorption device provided in this specific embodiment is provided with a plurality of piston assemblies respectively connected to a plurality of vacuum suction nozzles, each of the piston assemblies is connected to the connecting end of the corresponding vacuum suction nozzle along the first direction, and the piston assembly can drive the vacuum suction nozzle to move along the first direction. On the one hand, the piston assembly can drive the vacuum suction nozzle to move along the first direction to adjust the relative heights between different vacuum suction nozzles, so that the adsorption device can adsorb components of different heights at the same time, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the adsorption device for adsorbing components of different heights, avoiding the problem of material falling or incorrect material discharge during the adsorption process, and improving the yield and efficiency of semiconductor manufacturing; on the other hand, the piston assembly can drive the vacuum suction nozzle to move along the first direction to balance the adsorption force between different vacuum suction nozzles, thereby avoiding uneven force on the adsorption device when adsorbing one component, thereby further improving the stability and reliability of adsorption.
[0061] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that ordinary technicians in this technical field can make several improvements and modifications without departing from the principles of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as within the scope of protection of the present invention.
