[0035] Please see Figures 1 to 3 This utility model proposes a chip supply device 10, including: a base 11 and a turntable 12. The turntable 12 is connected to the base 11. The turntable 12 is provided with a plurality of storage platforms 13. Each storage platform 13 is provided with an adsorption structure 14, which is used to adsorb the chip onto the storage platform 13.

[0036] It should be noted that turntable 12 is controlled by the control system.

[0037] In this embodiment, preferably, the base 11 is a gantry structure, and an installation area 111 is provided inside the base 11. The turntable 12 is installed in the installation area 111, so that the chip supply device 10 has good structural stability and can operate stably.

[0038] In practical applications, chips of different colors are placed on different storage platforms 13 on the turntable 12. The adsorption structure 14 on each storage platform 13 adsorbs and fixes the chip on the storage platform 13, ensuring that the chip will not move or fall off during the rotation of the turntable 12. After a mass transfer of chips of one color is completed, the turntable 12 rotates to transport chips of the next color to the processing station for mass transfer. This process is repeated to transfer the chips placed on each storage platform 13 on the turntable 12 to the substrate.

[0039] The chip supply device 10 proposed in this embodiment has multiple storage platforms 13 on the turntable 12. After a large-scale transfer of chips of one color is completed, the turntable 12 rotates to transport chips of the next color to the processing station for large-scale transfer, realizing rapid switching of chips of different colors and improving the efficiency of large-scale transfer.

[0040] Please see Figure 3 The adsorption structure 14 includes a plurality of adsorption holes 141, which are arranged in a ring on the storage platform 13, and the outlet end of the adsorption holes 141 extends to the back of the storage platform 13.

[0041] Specifically, multiple adsorption holes 141 are arranged in a ring to evenly distribute the adsorption force, preventing chip displacement and drop. The adsorption holes 141 in the adsorption structure 14 adopt vacuum adsorption, and the multiple adsorption holes 141 are controlled by a vacuum pump (not shown in the figure). Since the air outlet of the adsorption holes 141 extends to the back of the storage platform 13, when chips need to be unloaded, there is no need for an unloading robot. The negative pressure can be released by controlling the vacuum pump, thereby reducing downtime. When chips need to be loaded, there is no need for a loading robot. The negative pressure can be created at the adsorption holes 141 by controlling the vacuum pump to adsorb the chips onto the storage platform 13, realizing rapid loading and unloading of chips without the need for an additional robot, reducing downtime and improving production efficiency.

[0042] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 The turntable 12 includes a turntable body 121 and at least two supports 122 protruding outward from the circumference of the turntable body 121. The supports 122 are arranged at intervals around the turntable body 121. The storage platform 13 is located at the end of the support 122. The stability and load-bearing capacity of the turntable 12 are improved by the above method, and the layout of the storage platform 13 is optimized so that it is more stable during rotation.

[0043] In this embodiment, the included angles of two adjacent supports 122 are the same, that is, the supports 122 are evenly distributed in the circumferential direction of the turntable body 121, which ensures that the load of the turntable 12 is balanced when rotating, improves the balance of the turntable 12, and makes the turntable 12 stable when rotating at high speed.

[0044] Compared with the prior art, the chip supply device 10 proposed in this utility model has multiple storage platforms 13 on the turntable 12. After a large-scale transfer of chips of one color is completed, the turntable 12 rotates to transport chips of the next color to the processing station for large-scale transfer, realizing rapid switching of chips of different colors and improving the efficiency of large-scale transfer.

[0045] Please see Figures 4 to 5 This utility model also proposes a mass transfer device, including: a chip supply device 10, a loading device 20 and a laser (not shown in the figure) as described above. The loading device 20 is located below the storage platform 13, and the laser is located above the storage platform 13. Chips are placed on the chip supply device 10, and a substrate is placed on the loading device 20. The laser is used to emit a laser beam to the chip so that the chip die on the chip supply device 10 is detached and connected to the substrate.

[0046] It should be noted that the chip supply device 10, the feeding device 20, and the laser are all controlled by the control system.

[0047] In practical applications, chips of different colors are placed on the storage platform 13 of the chip supply device 10. After the substrate is placed on the loading device 20, the turntable 12 rotates to align the storage platform 13 with the laser and the transfer mechanism. The laser works to make the laser beam act on the chip through the light-transmitting hole 131 on the storage platform 13, so that the dies on the chip are transferred to the substrate. When a chip of one color has completed a mass transfer, the turntable 12 rotates to transport the chip of the next color to the processing station for mass transfer. This realizes the rapid switching of chips of different colors, reduces the downtime caused by changing chips of different colors, and improves the mass transfer efficiency.

[0048] In the mass transfer device proposed in this embodiment, the substrate is placed on the feeding device 20, and chips of different colors are placed on the storage platform 13 of the chip supply device 10. After a chip of one color is mass transferred under the action of the laser, the turntable 12 rotates to transport the chip of the next color to the processing station for mass transfer, realizing the rapid switching of chips of different colors and improving the efficiency of mass transfer.

[0049] Please see Figures 2 to 3 The storage platform 13 is provided with a light-transmitting hole 131. The laser beam emitted by the laser passes through the light-transmitting hole 131 and acts on the chip, ensuring that the laser beam acts directly on the chip, avoiding energy loss, thereby improving the accuracy and quality of mass transfer.

[0050] Please see Figure 4 The mass transfer equipment also includes: a drive unit 30 and a base 40. The drive unit 30 is mounted on the base 40, and the chip supply device 10 and the feeding device 20 are both mounted on the drive unit 30.

[0051] Specifically, the drive device 30 is also controlled by the control system. First, chips of different colors or types are placed on the storage platform 13 in the loading device 20, and the substrate is placed on the loading device 20. Then, the drive device 30 drives the chip supply device 10 and the loading device 20 to move so that the loading device 20 is aligned with the storage platform 13 of the chip supply device 10, so that the chip is aligned with the target substrate, thereby improving the mass transfer quality of the chip die to the substrate.

[0052] Please see Figure 4 The chip supply device 10 and the feeding device 20 are symmetrically arranged along the horizontal direction of the base 40.

[0053] Specifically, the chip supply device 10 and the feeding device 20 are arranged horizontally and symmetrically along the X-axis of the base 40, which realizes the synchronous feeding of chips and substrates, improves the mass transfer efficiency, and makes the mass transfer equipment compact.

[0054] Please refer to it again. Figure 4The driving device 30 includes a first moving module 31, a second moving module 32, and a third moving module 33. The second moving module 32 and the third moving module 33 are both mounted on the first moving module 31. The moving direction of the second moving module 32 and the moving direction of the third moving module 33 are both perpendicular to the moving direction of the first moving module 31. The chip supply device 10 is mounted on the second moving module 32, and the feeding device 20 is mounted on the third moving module 33.

[0055] Specifically, firstly, the second moving module 32 and the third moving module 33 move in the Y-axis direction to align the chip placed on the chip supply device 10 with the substrate placed on the loading device 20 in the vertical direction. Then, the first moving module 31 moves in the X-axis direction to align the chip placed on the chip supply device 10 with the substrate placed on the loading device 20 in the horizontal direction. Through the cooperation of the first moving module 31, the second moving module 32 and the third moving module 33, the alignment of the chip and the target substrate in the horizontal and vertical directions is achieved, thereby improving the mass transfer quality of the chip die to the substrate.

[0056] It is understood that the first moving module 31, the second moving module 32, and the third moving module 33 can be belt-driven or screw-driven moving mechanisms, etc., as long as they can achieve the movement of the first moving module 31 along the X-axis and the movement of the second moving module 32 and the third moving module 33 along the Y-axis, respectively, all of which fall within the protection scope of this utility model. However, preferably, the first moving module 31, the second moving module 32, and the third moving module 33 are all linear motor sliding modules, which have high transmission speed and high transmission accuracy.

[0057] Please refer to it again. Figure 4 The feeding device 20 includes: an angle adjustment member 21 and a platform 22 connected to the driving end of the angle adjustment member 21. The angle adjustment member 21 is connected to the third moving module 33, and the platform 22 is used to place the substrate.

[0058] Specifically, after the chip and the target substrate are aligned in the horizontal and vertical directions, the angle adjustment member 21 adjusts the angle of the stage 22 so that the stage 22 and the storage stage 13 remain parallel, so that the chip and the target substrate are parallel, ensuring that the die of each chip is transferred to the substrate under the action of the laser.

[0059] Please refer to it again. Figures 4 to 4 The following is a brief description of the workflow of the mass transfer device proposed in this embodiment:

[0060] First, chips of different colors are placed on the storage platform 13 of the chip supply device 10, and the substrate is placed on the loading device 20. Then, the driving device 30 drives the chip supply device 10 and the loading device 20 to move so that the loading device 20 is aligned with the storage platform 13 of the chip supply device 10, so that the chip is aligned with the target substrate. Finally, under the action of the laser, the die of each chip is transferred to the substrate.

[0061] Compared with the prior art, the mass transfer equipment proposed in this utility model places the substrate on the feeding device 20 and chips of different colors on the storage platform 13 of the chip supply device 10. After a chip of one color is mass transferred under the action of the laser, the turntable 12 rotates to transport the chip of the next color to the processing station for mass transfer, realizing the rapid switching of chips of different colors and improving the efficiency of mass transfer.

[0062] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can easily conceive of various equivalent modifications or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model, and these modifications or substitutions should all be covered within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the scope of the claims.
