Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of semiconductor chip manufacturing, and in particular to an IGBT wafer mounting device. Background Technology
[0002] Die attach is a critical step in semiconductor manufacturing and packaging, where dies are attached to lead frames. The process involves melting a layer of solder in a designated area on a heated lead frame, pressing the molten solder into a regular rectangle using a die, picking up the ejected die from the die, placing it on top of the solder, and applying pressure to extrude the solder. The die attach process is complete once the product cools.

[0025] This invention provides an IGBT die-loading device that can effectively block solder overflow during chip production. It also has multiple installation and adjustment positions in multiple linear and circumferential directions, making it suitable for different production application scenarios. The device has a simple structure, strong applicability, and reliable production quality.
[0026] As a further improvement, the first fixed shaft and the second fixed shaft are arranged on the same axis.
[0027] As a further improvement, the first fixed shaft and the second fixed shaft are integrally formed, and there is a tapered transition section between the first fixed shaft and the second fixed shaft.
[0028] As a further improvement, the chip includes a first chip and a second chip arranged at intervals from each other, and a baffle is arranged between the first chip and the second chip to isolate solder overflowing from the first chip and the second chip respectively.

[0035] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, addressing the problem of lead-tin bonding in soft solder during IGBT chip mounting due to small chip spacing, this invention proposes a die bonder with a baffle device, wherein the baffle 6 is made of high-purity aluminum alloy. Figure 1 As shown, the first fixed shaft 1 and the main shaft 10 of the nozzle are connected and fixed in the Z direction by two springs, which can be rotated and adjusted according to the relative position of the main and auxiliary chips of the IGBT product. In addition, the baffle device can be adjusted in the X and Z directions according to the size and thickness of the chip 4 via the third fixed shaft 3 on the second fixed shaft 2. The baffle device operates when the nozzle applies loading pressure to extrude the solder. At this time, the third fixed shaft 3 is parallel to the main shaft of the nozzle. When the nozzle leaves the chip surface, the baffle device retracts, and at this time, the third fixed shaft 3 is perpendicular to the main shaft of the nozzle. When the baffle device is in operation, the distance of the lowest point of the baffle 6 beyond the nozzle should be approximately equal to the thickness of the chip 4 plus the thickness of the solder, and it should be in close contact with the lead frame stage 9.
[0036] Those skilled in the art will recognize that this invention can also employ automated equipment, actuators, and instruments, such as position and angle sensors, cylinders, gear drives, rack and pinion mechanisms, stepper motors, and servo motors, to achieve real-time monitoring and adjustment of position and angle, monitor forces such as downward pressure, and coordinate with the production system to achieve consistent actions in production steps.
[0037] The specific operating procedure of the baffle device is as follows: Figures 2 to 5 As shown:
[0038] (1) After the lead frame completes the dispensing and molding steps, it enters the die bonding area. When the nozzle picks up the IGBT chip and moves it above the soft solder, the baffle 6 is lowered at the pre-set position and height. During the process of the nozzle applying the die-loading pressure downward and extruding the solder, the baffle 6 is in close contact with the lead frame under the pressure applied by the upper and lower springs. At this time, the solder overflowing in the direction of the baffle stops flowing due to the obstruction.
[0039] (2) The baffle 6 retracts as the nozzle leaves the chip surface, the soft solder solidifies, and the solder overflow area inside the IGBT chip is controlled.
[0040] (3) The lead frame with the IGBT main chip installed enters the FRD chip mounting process. Rotate the first fixed shaft 1 and adjust the position of the baffle device in the X and Z directions on the second fixed shaft 2 according to the size and thickness of the FRD chip. The baffle device 6 is also lowered when the nozzle picks up the FRD chip and moves it above the soft solder. When the nozzle applies mounting pressure downward, the baffle 6 is in close contact with the lead frame. The solder overflowing from the inside of the FRD chip stops flowing due to obstruction.
[0041] (4) The baffle retracts as the nozzle leaves the surface of the FRD chip, the soft solder solidifies, the solder overflow area inside the FRD chip is effectively controlled, and the solder overflow between the IGBT and the FRD chip is effectively controlled.
[0042] During the main and auxiliary chip assembly process of IGBT products, the baffle device can be used to control the solder overflow area in a specific direction, thereby solving the problem of lead-tin connection of soft solder when the chip spacing is small, and effectively improving the assembly quality and packaging yield of IGBT products.
[0043] This invention solves the problem of lead-tin bonding between solder joints between chips, improving wafer assembly quality. It adds a baffle device to the nozzle of the soldering head of the die bonder to control solder overflow at specific locations on the IGBT chip. Furthermore, during the auxiliary chip assembly process, the baffle device not only controls solder overflow on the auxiliary chip side but also prevents molten solder from flowing from the IGBT chip to the auxiliary chip area, avoiding lead-tin bonding between the main and auxiliary chips, thus improving the yield of the wafer assembly process and enhancing the reliability of IGBT dual-chip products.
[0044] This invention effectively increases the maximum wafer-mountable area of a wafer carrier stage, optimizing packaging capabilities. The invention provides a two-step solder blocking device for IGBT products. By limiting the solder overflow area between the main and auxiliary chips, it addresses the problem of limited minimum spacing between chips due to the risk of solder lead-tin bonding, which previously restricted the maximum wafer-mountable chip area of the wafer carrier stage. With the same wafer carrier area, using the blocking device allows for the accommodating of larger chip sizes, effectively improving IGBT product packaging capabilities.
[0045] This invention can solve the problem of lead-tin connection of soft solder when assembling chips with two different chip pitches, and realize the assembly production quickly and accurately, so as to improve the assembly problem of IGBT products, improve production efficiency, packaging process yield, and optimize product performance.
[0046] It should be understood that the scope of protection sought by this utility model is not limited to the non-limiting embodiments, which are merely illustrative examples. The substantive scope of protection claimed in this application is further embodied in the scope provided by the independent claims and their dependent claims.
