Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to semiconductor packaging technology and is mainly applied to the back-end packaging stage of semiconductor packaging process, especially the fixing tool used in the sealing or capping process of semiconductor packaging. Background Technology

[0002] Gold-tin sealing or gold-tin capping processes are commonly used in the back-end packaging stage of semiconductor packaging processes, especially in the sealing or lid attach process. They are mainly used to ensure the airtightness and stability of the chip after packaging, prevent external moisture or other contaminants from entering the package, and protect the chip's function and performance.

[0003] In a typical gold-solder bonding process, a gravity block is designed to apply pressure based on the chip's shape, and a cover plate is used to lock it in place. Sufficient pressure is also applied above the cover plate to prevent defects such as solder voids or solder overflow at the solder joint. However, as the solder pad melts, the screws securing the cover plate can loosen, causing uneven stress and affecting solder flow, leading to voids or solder overflow at the solder joint. Furthermore, since the gravity block and the fixture for placing the chip need to be custom-made according to the chip size, different chip sizes require corresponding fixtures and gravity blocks, resulting in higher costs.

[0004] Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, a simple and convenient technical solution is needed. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model proposes a fixing clamp for C-shaped bending semiconductor structure packaging, comprising a first clamping arm, a second clamping arm, and an elastic element. The elastic element is disposed between the first clamping arm and the second clamping arm, providing a clamping force for the ends of the first clamping arm and the second clamping arm to clamp each other. The first clamping arm includes a first C-shaped bending arm, which includes a first bending segment, a second bending segment, and a third bending segment connected in sequence. The end of the third bending segment is provided with a first fixing part. There is a first included angle between the first bending segment and the second bending segment, and a second included angle between the second bending end and the third bending segment. The sum of the first included angle and the second included angle is 180 degrees. The first clamping arm clamps and fixes the semiconductor to be packaged together with the second clamping arm through the first fixing part.

[0006] Furthermore, the first included angle and the second included angle are both 90 degrees.

[0007] Furthermore, the second clamping arm has a second C-shaped bending arm, the bending portion of the second C-shaped bending arm including a fourth bending segment, a fifth bending segment and a sixth bending segment connected in sequence, the end of the sixth bending segment is provided with a second fixing part, the first fixing part and the second fixing part clamp the semiconductor to be packaged.

[0008] Furthermore, a flexible pad is provided on the surface of the first fixing part that contacts the semiconductor to be packaged.

[0009] Furthermore, the other ends of the first clamping arm and the second clamping arm are provided with force-applying parts. After force is applied to the force-applying parts, the first fixing part of the first clamping arm separates from the second clamping arm.

[0010] Furthermore, the elastic element is a torsion spring.

[0011] Furthermore, the elastic element is detachably connected to either the first or second clamping arm.

[0012] Furthermore, fixing ears are provided at the positions where the elastic elements are installed on the first clamping arm and the second clamping arm, and the fixing ears are used to fix the elastic elements.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] 1. By using a fixing clamp instead of pressure blocks and screws, there is no need to customize complex jigs and fixtures according to the chip size. The fixing clamp can provide a constant clamping force for the chip cover.

[0015] 2. The first C-shaped bending arm and the second C-shaped bending arm can effectively fix semiconductor packages with special shapes.

[0016] 3. The elastic element is detachable, and different elastic elements with different elastic forces can be replaced according to the clamping force. At the same time, it is also convenient to replace the aging or fatigued elastic elements. Attached Figure Description
