[0034] Example

[0035] One embodiment of this application provides a high-precision eutectic bonding device for semiconductors, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the equipment includes a feeding assembly 1, a eutectic heating assembly 2, a placement head assembly 3, a calibration assembly 4, a three-axis translation assembly 5, and a nozzle changing assembly 6.

[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, the feeding assembly 1 includes a feeding platform on which semiconductor materials are placed. The feeding platform is set on the base 7. The feeding platform includes a first feeding platform 11 and a second feeding platform 12. Multiple material boxes 13 are evenly placed on the first feeding platform 11 and the second feeding platform 12 respectively to realize the feeding of various products. The semiconductor materials include substrates, solder pads and chips. The substrates, solder pads and chips are all placed in the material boxes 13.

[0037] like Figure 1As shown, the eutectic heating assembly 2 includes a eutectic heating stage 21, which is used for eutectic mounting of semiconductor materials. The eutectic heating stage 21 is mounted on the base 7. The first material stage 11 is located on one side of the eutectic heating stage 21, and the second material stage 12 is located on the other side of the eutectic heating stage 21. The first material stage 11 and the second material stage 12 are symmetrically arranged along the eutectic heating stage 21.

[0038] like Figure 1 As shown, it also includes a bottom vision system 22, which is located below the eutectic heating stage 21. The bottom vision system 22 is used to detect the placement position of the substrate, solder pads and chips on the eutectic heating stage 21, so as to ensure that the substrate, solder pads and chips are in the specified position during heating and soldering, thereby improving the placement accuracy and ensuring product quality.

[0039] like Figure 2 As shown, the placement head assembly 3 includes a ZR placement head 31, a height sensor 32, and a head vision system 33. The ZR placement head 31 is used for transferring semiconductor materials between the material table and the heating stage. The substrate, solder pads, and chips can be sequentially picked up and transferred via the suction nozzle 62 on the ZR placement head 31. The height sensor 32 is used to measure the height between the ZR placement head 31 and the material table and eutectic heating stage 21. Using a flexible placement head assembly composed of a high-precision ZR axis, a vision system, and a height sensor 32, high-precision force control and high-precision placement are achieved. Ultimately, placement parameters of 30-300g ± 3g and ± 3μm can be achieved.

[0040] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the calibration component 4 includes an origin calibration sensor 41 and a force control sensor 42. The origin calibration sensor 41 works in conjunction with the head vision system 33 to detect the translational state of the ZR placement head 31, improving the accuracy of the ZR placement head 31's translation and ensuring that the ZR placement head 31 places the semiconductor material at the designated position on the eutectic heating stage 21. The force control sensor 42 contacts the ZR placement head 31 to measure the downward pressure of the ZR placement head 31. When the ZR placement head 31 descends and contacts the force control sensor 42, the force control sensor 42 can accurately detect the downward pressure of the ZR placement head 31. If the downward pressure is too low or too high, the equipment system can adjust it to ensure that the ZR placement head 31 picks up or puts down the semiconductor material with the specified downward pressure, avoiding damage to the semiconductor material due to excessive downward pressure or failure to pick up the semiconductor material due to insufficient downward pressure.

[0041] like Figure 4As shown, the nozzle replacement assembly 6 is used to replace the nozzles 62 on the ZR placement head 31. It includes a fixture plate 61 on which several nozzles 62 are placed. A cover plate 63 is provided above the fixture plate 61, with through holes 65 on it. The ZR placement head 31 can pass through the through holes 65 to replace the nozzles 62. A lifting cylinder 64 is provided at the bottom of the fixture plate 61, with its actuating end connected to the fixture plate 61, driving the fixture plate 61 to rise and fall. Since the nozzles 62 have a limited lifespan, and different products require different models of nozzles 62, the ZR placement head 31 needs to be replaced in some cases. The nozzle replacement assembly 6 enables automatic nozzle replacement of the ZR placement head 31, further improving the automation level of the equipment and ensuring work efficiency.

[0042] like Figure 1 As shown, the placement head assembly 3 is mounted on the three-axis translation assembly 5. The three-axis translation assembly 5 drives the placement head assembly 3 to translate in the X, Y and Z directions. The three-axis translation assembly 5 includes a marble gantry three-axis linear motor platform, which adopts a combination of linear motor and grating ruler, and uses a marble base 7 to maximize the accuracy of the equipment.

[0043] The above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concept and features of this application, and are intended to enable those skilled in the art to understand the content of this application and implement it accordingly. They should not be used to limit the scope of protection of this application. All equivalent changes or modifications made in accordance with the spirit and essence of this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application.
