[0019] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings and reference numerals.

FIG. 6 is a thermal expansion coefficient graph of the first material and the second material of the die bonding method for preventing warping of a die according to the present invention. The present invention provides a die bonding method for preventing warping of a die including the following steps.
[0021] In step S10, as shown in FIGS. 1, 2 and 6, the substrate 10 is placed on the heating tray 20, the die 30 is placed on the substrate 10, there are a plurality of solder balls 40 between the wiring layer 31 of the die 30 and the substrate 10, the die bonding device 50 contacts the glass carrier plate 32 of the die 30, both the die bonding device 50 and the glass carrier plate 32 can transmit light, and at room temperature, the length L1 of the substrate 10 is equal to the length L2 of the glass carrier plate 32.
[0022] In step S20, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the heating tray 20 heats the substrate 10, and the substrate 10 transfers its heat to the plurality of solder balls 40 Transmit , and the heating temperature of the heating tray 20 is lower than the melting point of the plurality of solder balls 40; as shown in FIGS. 1 and 3, the die bonding device 50 pressurizes and heats the glass carrier plate 32, and the glass carrier plate 32 transfers heat to the plurality of solder balls 40 through the wiring layer 31 Transmit , and the heating temperature of the die bonding device 50 is lower than the melting point of the plurality of solder balls 40; and, as shown in FIGS. 1, 3 and 6, one of the substrate 10 and the glass carrier plate 32 is made of a first material, the other of the substrate 10 and the glass carrier plate 32 is made of a second material, the thermal expansion coefficient of the first material is smaller than the thermal expansion coefficient of the second material, and the temperature T1 of the first material is higher than the temperature of the second material T2, so that the length L1A of the substrate 10 and the length L2A of the glass carrier plate 32 are maintained equal during heating.
[0023] In step S30, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 4, the light projected from the light source 60 passes through the die bonding device 50 and the glass carrier plate 32 to heat the wiring layer 31, and the wiring layer 31 transfers its heat to the plurality of solder balls 40 Transmit Since the heating temperature of the light source 60 exceeds the melting point of the plurality of solder balls 40, the plurality of solder balls 40 melt into liquid solder and penetrate onto the substrate 10.
[0024] In step S40, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 5, By stopping the heating of the wiring layer 31 by the projection of light from the light source 60, After the liquid solder hardens, the wiring layer 31 is completely fixed to the substrate 10, and By controlling the temperatures of the substrate 10 and the glass carrier plate 32 according to the difference in the coefficients of thermal expansion, the length L1 of the substrate 10 and the length L2 of the glass carrier plate 32 are maintained equal during the process of cooling down to room temperature.
[0025] Thus, in the present invention, in the process of preheating the solder balls 40, by controlling the temperatures of the first material and the second material according to the difference in the coefficient of thermal expansion, the substrate 10 and the glass carrier plate 32 can have their lengths always maintained equal under different temperature change conditions, regardless of whether it is heating up or cooling down. Therefore, warping of the die 30 and residual internal stress can be avoided.
[0026] In the first embodiment, the heating temperature of the die bonding apparatus 50 is between 140°C and 270°C, and the heating temperature of the heating tray 20 is between 140°C and 270°C. More specifically, the melting point of the solder ball 40 varies depending on its content. Since the melting point of the solder ball 40 with the content used during die bonding usually exceeds 270°C, the heating temperatures of the die bonding apparatus 50 and the heating tray 20 need to be below 270°C, thereby avoiding the melting of the solder ball 40 into liquid solder. If the heating temperature is less than 140°C, the preheating temperature of the solder ball 40 becomes too low, and the heating time of the light source 60 for melting the solder ball 40 into liquid solder becomes longer, reducing the welding efficiency. Therefore, the method according to the present invention can sufficiently ensure the preheating temperature of the solder ball 40 by controlling the heating temperature between 140°C and 270°C, or can prevent the solder ball 40 from melting into liquid solder and improve the welding efficiency.
[0027] In the first embodiment, the size of the die bonding apparatus 50 is larger than the size of the die 30. Therefore, the die bonding apparatus 50 can pressurize and heat the die 30 at a uniform pressure and temperature, preventing warping of the die 30.
[0028] Preferably, in step S30, the light source 60 includes a quartz lamp 61, and further includes that the infrared rays projected from the quartz lamp 61 pass through the die bonding apparatus 50 and the glass carrier plate 32 to heat the wiring layer 31.
[0029] FIG. 7 is a schematic diagram of step S30 of the second embodiment of the die bonding method for preventing warping of the die according to the present invention. As shown in FIG. 7, the difference between the second embodiment and the first embodiment is that in step S30, the light source 60A further includes a reflection cover 62, and the quartz lamp 61 is installed in the reflection cover 62 to project infrared rays to the opening of the reflection cover 62.
[0030] FIG. 8 is a schematic diagram of step S30 of a third embodiment of a die bonding method for preventing warping of a die according to the present invention. As shown in FIG. 8, the difference between the third embodiment and the first embodiment is that in step S30, the light source 60B further includes a convex lens 63, the convex lens 63 is disposed between the quartz lamp 61 and the die bonding apparatus 50, and the quartz lamp 61 projects infrared rays onto the convex lens 63, and the convex lens 63 converges the infrared rays.
[0031] FIG. 9 is a schematic diagram of step S30 of a fourth embodiment of a die bonding method for preventing warping of a die according to the present invention. As shown in FIG. 9, the difference between the fourth embodiment and the first embodiment is that in step S30, the light source 60C is a laser module 64, and the laser beam projected from the laser module 64 passes through the die bonding apparatus 50 and the glass carrier plate 32 to heat the wiring layer 31.
