TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to chip packaging technical field especially, relates to chip transfer mechanism and die bonder. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the chip processing or assembly process, chip transfer is a key operation step, and its efficiency and accuracy directly affect the quality and cost of the whole chip production process. With the development of semiconductor technology, chip size is becoming miniaturized, while the substrate size is expanding. The traditional die bonder faces double challenges in the transfer and die bonding link: on the one hand, the smaller the chip, the higher the requirement for the position accuracy and angle accuracy of die bonding; on the other hand, high-density chip arrangement in unit area puts forward higher requirements on equipment productivity.
[0003] The traditional chip transfer mechanism usually adopts a serial process of single-station operation, that is, a single pick-and-place unit needs to complete the actions of picking up, transferring, placing, and resetting in turn. This way has obvious disadvantages: during the picking and placing process, the empty return of the pick-and-place unit will cause a lot of time loss, resulting in long chip handling cycle and low efficiency, which is difficult to meet the productivity demand of high-density chip array. In addition, the traditional rotary handling mode is prone to positioning errors due to inertia, which cannot meet the stringent requirements of micro-chip on precision and thermal expansion coefficient matching.
[0004] At the same time, the existing equipment structure is complex, and the components move collaboratively, which causes the module for supplying / placing chips to interfere with the transfer mechanism. This not only increases the equipment floor space and maintenance cost, but also is more prone to positioning deviation in the micro-chip scenario due to complex mechanical path. The above problems highlight the urgent need for a new die bonder: to ensure micron-level positioning accuracy while increasing the number of chips transferred per unit time through parallel operation and symmetric station design, to match the dual standards of high precision and high throughput in modern semiconductor production.

[0057] The embodiments of the utility model are described in detail below, the examples of the embodiments are shown in the drawings, wherein the same or similar reference signs represent the same or similar elements or elements with the same or similar function throughout. The embodiments described below by referring to the drawings are exemplary, only for explaining the utility model, and cannot be understood as the limitation of the utility model.
[0058] As Figures 1 to 3 shown, the utility model provides chip transfer mechanism 200 for handling chip, chip transfer mechanism 200 includes stand 201 and transfer assembly;Transfer assembly is movably connected to stand 201, and the transfer assembly includes assembly seat 209 and two pick-and-place units provided on the assembly seat 209, one pick-and-place unit is located at wafer picking position 222, and the other pick-and-place unit is located at wafer releasing position 223, and the assembly seat 209 can drive the two pick-and-place units to move to adjust the position where the two pick-and-place units are located;The pick-and-place unit at wafer picking position 222 is used to pick up the chip, and the pick-and-place unit at wafer releasing position 223 is used to release the chip.
[0059] The chip transfer mechanism 200 is provided with an assembly seat 209 and two pick-and-place units. By adjusting the positions of the two pick-and-place units through the assembly seat 209, the chip can be picked up by one pick-and-place unit while the other pick-and-place unit can pick up a chip at the same time, realizing the parallel execution of the "chip picking-transferring" and "chip placing-resetting" actions of the two pick-and-place units. The serial process of the traditional single-station operation is compressed into parallel circulation, and the design of symmetrical station switching avoids the time loss of the traditional single pick-and-place unit in the process of picking and placing chips. Therefore, the cycle time of chip handling is greatly shortened, the continuity of chip handling process is significantly enhanced, and the overall work efficiency is improved. In addition, the symmetrical layout of the two pick-and-place units ensures the dynamic balance of the mechanism during switching, avoiding the positioning error caused by inertia in the traditional rotary handling, and is suitable for continuous transfer scenarios of high-density chip arrays. The above structure limits the compact layout and clear division of labor of each component of the chip transfer mechanism 200, and the components for supplying and placing chips can be independent of the chip transfer mechanism 200, thereby helping to reduce the mutual influence between die bonding equipment, simplifying the path of mechanical movement of the pick-and-place unit, avoiding complex coordinated movement of multiple components, improving the smoothness of the entire chip processing or assembly process, realizing the simplified design of specific mechanisms, making the chip handling process more orderly, reducing the complexity and floor space of the mechanism, and reducing equipment cost and maintenance difficulty.
[0060] In this embodiment, the chip is taken as a Mini LED chip, and the chip transfer mechanism 200 is used to assemble the Mini LED chip on the substrate 900.
[0061] In this embodiment, the assembly seat 209 can rotate relative to the stand 201 about the axis of the assembly seat 209, the axis of the assembly seat 209 extends along the vertical direction Z, and the two pick-and-place units are symmetrically arranged about the axis of the assembly seat 209.
[0062] The two pick-and-place units are symmetrically arranged about the axis of the assembly seat 209, which simplifies the position switching path of the pick-and-place unit, optimizes the action cycle, ensures the position accuracy of the pick-and-place unit when switching between the chip picking position 222 and the chip placing position 223, and ensures the accurate picking and releasing of the chip. The rotation of the assembly seat 209 about the vertical axis makes the center of gravity of the mechanism stable when the pick-and-place unit rotates to adjust the position, the movement is more stable, the shaking and error are reduced, the risk of chip damage is reduced, the movement of the pick-and-place unit between the chip picking position 222 and the chip placing position 223 has good repeatability and consistency, which is conducive to improving the stability of chip handling. The symmetrically distributed pick-and-place units form an inertia offset effect through rotation, reduce the load fluctuation of the driving part, and the symmetrical structure is convenient for mechanical design and control, reducing the deviation in the movement process. Moreover, the vertical direction Z layout reduces the space required for horizontal movement, is suitable for high-density production lines, and adapts to compact equipment structure.
[0063] Further, the pick-and-place unit is slid along the vertical direction Z on the assembly seat 209.

Thus, the influence of the swing angle of the swing arm 202 can be avoided, and the demand for different placement angles during chip assembly can be met, so that the chip can be accurately mounted on the substrate 900, thereby improving the quality of die bonding.
[0076] Further, the transfer assembly further comprises two self-rotation driving units 212 and two synchronous wheel synchronous belts 213, and the self-rotation driving units 212 are fixedly arranged on the assembly seat 209.

Specifically, the rotation driving unit 212 is a motor.

[0142] The translational linear module 703 and the lifting linear module 704 are arranged to enable the substrate gripper 71 to move in the second direction Y and the vertical direction Z, in combination with the substrate gripper 71 driving the substrate 900 in the first direction X, to realize the carrying of the substrate 900 in the three-dimensional space, improve the flexibility and applicability of the carrying, and meet the carrying requirements of the substrate 900 in different positions.

Through the real-time monitoring of the state of the gripper unit, potential faults and abnormal conditions can be found in time, and early warning and processing can be performed, thereby improving the reliability and stability of the carrying mechanism.
[0145] As shown in Figure 11 , Figure 21 and Figure 22 , the substrate gripper 71 is used to take and place the substrate 900, and the substrate gripper 71 comprises a gripper bottom plate 705 and two gripper units arranged on the gripper bottom plate 705. The gripper units can slide relative to the gripper bottom plate 705 along the first direction X. One gripper unit can press against the substrate 900 with a first driving force, and the other gripper unit can press against the substrate 900 with a second driving force. The first driving force and the second driving force are opposite in direction, and the absolute value of the first driving force is smaller than that of the second driving force. After the two gripper units clamp the substrate 900, the gripper units and the substrate 900 form an integral whole, and the substrate 900 is driven to slide relative to the gripper bottom plate 705 by the combined driving force of the two gripper units, until reaching the limit position on the gripper bottom plate 705.
[0146] The two gripper units on the substrate gripper 71 can slide relative to the gripper bottom plate 705 along the first direction X, and the force applied is different in size and opposite in direction. This differential design can flexibly adjust the distance between the two gripper units according to the size and position of the substrate 900, so as to realize the stable positioning of different specifications of the substrate 900 and improve the efficiency of the taking and placing operation. After the gripper units clamp the substrate 900 to form an integral whole and slide to the limit position by the combined driving force, the clamping and positioning of the substrate 900 can be quickly and accurately completed, the substrate 900 can be stably fixed in the substrate gripper 71, the shaking and displacement in the carrying process can be reduced, and the overall working efficiency can be improved.
[0147] In the embodiment, the clamping jaw unit comprises a clamping jaw base 710 and two clamping jaw bodies 711, the clamping jaw base 710 is in sliding fit with the clamping jaw bottom plate 705, the clamping jaw bodies 711 are capable of sliding along the second direction Y relative to the clamping jaw base 710, and the clamping jaw bodies 711 are used for clamping the substrate 900.
[0148] The clamping jaw bodies 711 are capable of sliding along the second direction Y relative to the clamping jaw base 710, and the first direction X and the second direction Y are perpendicular to each other, which increases the adjustment dimension of the clamping jaw in the horizontal plane, better adapts to the position and attitude of the substrate 900, improves the clamping precision, and helps to more accurately clamp the substrate 900. Since the clamping jaw bodies 711 have the adjustment capability in two perpendicular directions, the substrate clamping jaw 71 can better adapt to substrates 900 of different shapes and sizes.
[0149] Further, the edge of the clamping jaw body 711 is provided with a clamping through slot, the substrate 900 can be partially matched and inserted into the clamping through slot, and the slot wall of the clamping through slot is provided with an elastic anti-skid layer.
[0150] The design of the clamping through slot at the edge of the clamping jaw body 711 enables the substrate 900 to be partially matched and inserted, thereby increasing the stability of clamping. The setting of the elastic anti-skid layer can avoid damage to the surface of the substrate 900, the elastic anti-skid layer of the slot wall can increase the friction with the substrate 900, prevent the substrate 900 from slipping or falling off during clamping, protect the integrity of the substrate 900, and improve the reliability of clamping.

[0152] The clamping jaw rolling guide rail 706 provides a stable path for the sliding of the clamping jaw unit, enabling the clamping jaw unit to move smoothly, improving the flexibility and response speed of operation, and reducing energy loss. The clamping jaw in-place sensor 709 can monitor the presence or absence of the substrate 900 on the substrate clamping jaw 71 in real time, so as to determine whether the substrate 900 is always kept on the clamping jaw unit during the carrying process of the substrate clamping jaw 71, and also detect whether the substrate 900 is clamped between the two clamping jaw units before the clamping jaw unit clamps the substrate 900, so as to ensure that the clamping jaw unit operates as expected and avoid damage to the equipment due to misoperation; the setting of the clamping jaw in-place sensor 709 facilitates the realization of automatic control, and helps to improve the safety and reliability of the substrate clamping jaw 71.

Specifically, the first jaw driving unit 707 and the second jaw driving unit 708 are both air cylinders, and due to the difference in power, the first driving force and the second driving force have a difference in absolute value.
[0154] The first jaw driving unit 707 and the second jaw driving unit 708 respectively drive two jaw units, and the driving force and the position of the movement of each jaw unit are independently controlled by different driving modes, which facilitates the adjustment of the force and the position of the jaw unit according to actual needs, and further enables more flexible and accurate clamping operations to adapt to different working scenarios.
[0155] In other implementations of the embodiment, only the first jaw driving unit 707 is arranged on the jaw bottom plate 705, and the output end of the first jaw driving unit 707 is connected to one jaw unit, or only the second jaw driving unit 708 is arranged on the jaw bottom plate 705, and the output end of the second jaw driving unit 708 is connected to the other jaw unit.
[0156] In the embodiment, the ratio of the absolute values of the first driving force and the second driving force is 1:N, and N is greater than 1; the direction of the combined driving force of the two jaw units is the same as the direction of the second driving force, and the value of the combined driving force is the difference between the absolute value of the second driving force and the absolute value of the first driving force.
[0157] The ratio of the absolute values of the first driving force and the second driving force and the calculation method of the combined driving force are specified, so that the jaw unit can move at a reasonable speed when clamping the substrate 900, avoiding damage to the substrate 900 due to too high speed or affecting work efficiency due to too low speed, thereby quickly completing the clamping and movement operations of the substrate 900. Precise driving force control helps to quickly adjust the jaw spacing, thereby improving the accuracy of substrate 900 clamping and positioning, and ensuring the stability of the overall movement and the quality of the work.

[0198] Step two: adjust the position of the substrate 900 by using the substrate loading platform 400, and adjust the position of the sub-mother ring 520 by using the chip loading mechanism 500.
[0199] Step three: control the pick-and-place unit at the pick position 222 to pick the chip from the sub-mother ring 520, and control the pick-and-place unit at the drop position 223 to drop the chip on the substrate 900.
[0200] Step four: adjust the positions of the two pick-and-place units by using the component seat 209.
[0201] Step five: determine whether the substrate 900 is assembled, if yes, continue to step six, if not, return to step two.
[0202] Step six: use the carrying mechanism to carry the substrate 900 from the substrate loading platform 400 to the in-out line body 600, and use the in-out line body 600 to convey the substrate 900 out of the die bonder; use the sub-mother ring loading and unloading assembly 800 to carry the sub-mother ring 520 from the chip loading mechanism 500 to the sub-mother ring magazine 807.
[0203] The die bonding method forms a standard and orderly die bonding process through the explicit steps, from the loading of the substrate 900 and the sub-mother ring 520, the position adjustment, the picking and dropping of the chip, the position adjustment of the pick-and-place unit, to the determination of whether the assembly is completed and the final loading and unloading, which is easy to realize automatic control, ensures that the chip can be accurately assembled on the substrate 900, and guarantees the efficient and accurate performance of the die bonding process. Dynamic adjustment of the positions of the sub-mother ring 520 and the substrate 900 can timely adjust the pick position 222 and the drop position 223, avoid the situation that the chip transfer mechanism 200 stops and waits, and realize uninterrupted continuous operation, which helps to improve the working efficiency of the die bonder. The empty tray is automatically recycled, and the substrate 900 is automatically recycled and synchronized with the production rhythm, which improves the overall efficiency of the production line. Through multiple position adjustments and assembly completion determinations, it is ensured that the chip is assembled on the substrate 900, avoiding missed or misassembled, improving the yield and assembly efficiency of the product.
