By driving a roller 3442 of the pressing assembly 344, the roller 3442 indirectly comes into contact with and presses a front end of the adhesion component A via the carrier tape A3. The adhesion component A is brought into contact with a bonding start point of a bonding area B21 of a base component B, and the bending component 3443 and the roller 3442 are moved together, thereby the roller 3442 presses the carrier tape A3 while rotating on the carrier tape A3, to paste the adhesion component A onto a bonding area B21 of the base component B. During the rotation of the roller 3442, the bending component 3443 indirectly scrubs off the adhesion component A from the carrier tape A3 via the carrier tape A3.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 12

Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a joining method, a joining module, a joining device, and a joining installation, and more particularly to a joining method, a joining module, a joining device, and a joining installation for attaching an adhesive component to a base component in an automated manufacturing process. [Background technology]

[0002] Patent Document 1 (Taiwan Patent No. I767611) discloses a conventional bonding method and bonding equipment. The conventional bonding method is for attaching an adhesive thermal pad to a base component in an automated manufacturing process, and the conventional bonding equipment is for carrying out the conventional bonding method. A conventional IC packaging process involves applying adhesive to a substrate, attaching a die to the substrate, attaching a thermal pad to the substrate so as to cover the die and the substrate, and then covering the thermal pad with a heat sink. Specifically, a cover film is provided on each side of the thermal pad. Using the bonding equipment, the cover film on one side is peeled off and attached to the substrate, and then the cover film on the other side is peeled off. The bonding equipment includes a deflection correction mechanism having a four-link structure operable to deflect a driven component provided with a horizontally extending slide rail; a reel mechanism slidably disposed on the slide rail and having an upright seat supporting the reel; and an application component having an application tip. The carrier tape having the thermal pad is wound around a reel mechanism and an application part so as to be transportable, and is divided into an input part and an output part by the application part. As the upright seat moves horizontally along the slide rail toward the input part of the carrier tape and the carrier tape is transported by the reel mechanism, the thermal pad is peeled off from the carrier tape by the application part and simultaneously applied to the base part.

[0003] In a conventional thermal pad bonding device and equipment disclosed in Patent Document 2 (Taiwan Utility Model No. M633357), a round-shaft-shaped application head is arranged in the carrier tape supply path to separate the carrier tape into an input side and an output side. The application head swings around the axis of the reel shaft to an operating position, peeling the thermal pad from the carrier tape and applying it to a base component.

[0004] The application tip of the application part in Patent Document 1 and the round-shaft application head in Patent Document 2 apply the thermal pad to the base part at the same time as peeling the thermal pad from the carrier tape. As the bonding conditions for the surface of base parts become more diverse due to differences in product functions, the application tip in Patent Document 1 or the application head in Patent Document 2 may not be applicable to the bonding process of some base parts. Therefore, there is a demand for the development of a bonding method, bonding module, bonding device, and bonding equipment that can accommodate a variety of base parts.

The deflection correction mechanism 313 is interposed between the tape reel 3121 and the second reel 3123, so that when the upright base 311 deflects, the left and right deflections of the upright base 311 are made substantially equal, thereby keeping the torque driver 325 in a balanced state. The upright base 321 and the upright pivot 3133 of the first mounting module 31 are disposed on both sides of the upright base 311, respectively. The protruding seat 324 extends through the first opening 3134, and the upright pivot 3133 is disposed within the protruding seat 324.

[0023] The threaded nut seat 333 is located on the other side of the upright plate 331 opposite the second transport mechanism 332, and drives the movement of the second loading module 33 by threading with the threaded bolt 3142 of the first loading module 31. The second conveying mechanism 332 includes a pinwheel 3322 driven by a motor driver 3321 to transport the carrier tape A3 along the tape winding route, an abutment roller 3324 arranged on the opposite side of the pinwheel 3322 to clamp the carrier tape A3 in cooperation with the pinwheel 3322 driven by a cylinder driver 3323, an input rotating pin assembly 3325 arranged on one side of the pinwheel 3322 and including a plurality of rotating shafts, an output rotating pin assembly 3326 arranged on the other side of the pinwheel 3322 and including a plurality of rotating shafts, a first coupling bracket 3327 arranged on the opposite side of the upright plate 331 and attached to one end of the rotating shaft of the input rotating pin assembly 3325, and a second coupling bracket 3328 arranged on the opposite side of the upright plate 331 and attached to one end of the rotating shaft and pinwheel of the output rotating pin assembly 3326.

[0024] 5 and 8, the joining module 34 is disposed on the upright plate 331 and moves in the Z-axis direction and the X-axis direction together with the upright plate 331. The joining module 34 includes a module seat 341, a first pressing mechanism 342, and a second pressing mechanism 343. The first pressing mechanism 342 and the second pressing mechanism 343 are disposed on the module seat 341. The carrier tape A3 is transported through the first pressing mechanism 342 and divided into an input section A34 and an output section A35. Specifically, the module seat 341 includes an input end guide component 3411 disposed on the input section A34 side, an output side guide component 3412 disposed on the output section A35 side, a detection element 3413 disposed near the tape winding route of the input section A34 of the carrier tape A3, and a first ionizer 3414 disposed near the tape winding route of the output section A35 of the carrier tape A3. The second pressing mechanism 343 is arranged on the tape winding route side of the carrier tape A3 of the module base 341, and includes a pressing part 3432 in the form of a roller that is driven by a separate driver 3431 (e.g., a slide cylinder) and is movable about an axis inclined with respect to the vertical direction, and a second ionizer 3433 arranged on the side of the pressing part 3432 opposite the first pressing mechanism 342. Specifically, the input side guide part 3411 and the output side guide part 3412 are each shaped like a round bar, and have one end that is arranged in the module base 341 and the other end that is arranged in the first connecting part 3415. The module base 341 is spaced apart from the first connecting part 3415 in the Y-axis direction. The first connecting part 3415 is fixedly connected to the first coupling bracket 3327 and the positioning seat 3416 protruding from the module seat 341 in the Y-axis direction, and is fixedly connected to the second coupling bracket 3328 via the second connecting part 3417, so that the module seat 341 and the first connecting part 3415 can firmly support both sides of the carrier tape A3 passing through the input side guide part 3411 and the output side guide part 3412 so as to keep them horizontal.

[0025] The first pressing mechanism 342 includes a Z-axis driver 3421, such as a pneumatic cylinder, a movable stage 3422 that is driven by the Z-axis driver 3421 to move in the Z-axis direction, and a pressing assembly 344 that is disposed below the movable stage 3422 and moves together with the movable stage 3422. The Z-axis driver 3421 has an upper end that is fixedly disposed on a suspended part 3418 extending from the positioning seat 3416, and a lower end that connects to the movable stage 3422 and presses the movable stage 3422. The piston rod 3423 is disposed between the suspended part 3418 and the movable stage 3422 and is driven by the Z-axis driver 3421 to move the movable stage 3422 in the Z-axis direction. The guide hood 3424 is disposed below the movable stage 3422. The guide hood 3424 is spaced from the carrier tape A3 and has an inclined guide surface 3425 that guides the tape winding route of the carrier tape A3.

[0026] 9 and 10 , the pressing assembly 344 includes a mounting seat 3441 fixedly disposed on the movable stage 3422, a roller 3442 pivotally attached to the mounting seat 3441 at both ends, and a bending part 3443 pivotally attached to the mounting seat 3441 at both ends, coaxial with the roller 3442, and swingable relative to the mounting seat 3441. The mounting seat 3441 extends in the Y-axis direction and has two pivot portions 3444 at both ends to which the roller 3442 is pivotally attached at both ends. The bending part 3443 has two pivot arms 3446, which are positioned respectively with the pivot portions 3444 and define a mounting space 3447 therebetween for accommodating the roller 3442. Therefore, the bending part 3443 and the roller 3442 are pivotally attached to the pivot portions 3444 coaxially with each other. The bending part 3443 further has a bending tip 34431 located opposite the pivot arm 3446 and tapered at an angle of less than 90 degrees. The pressing assembly 344 further includes two fine adjustment parts 3445 fixedly disposed on either end of the bending part 3443 and moving together with the either end of the bending part 3443, two biasing parts 3448 (e.g., coil springs) connected between the fine adjustment parts 3445 and the pivot part 3444 and providing torque to rotate the bending part 3443 downward in a counterclockwise direction relative to the pivot part 3444, and two threaded parts 3449 (e.g., threaded bolts) extending through two through holes 3450 in the pivot part 3444, respectively, and threadably engaging with the fine adjustment parts 3445 to set the angular displacement of the bending part 3443.

[0027] 2 and 5, during operation, the tape assembly A33 is wound onto the tape reel 3121, and by operation of the pinwheel 3322, the carrier tape A3 passes through the first guide reel 3124, and the cover tape A4 is peeled off from the carrier tape A3 and wound onto the first reel 3122. The carrier tape A3 is supplied with the adhesive part A facing downward, passes through the rotary shaft of the input rotary pin assembly 3325 and the input end guide part 3411, is detected by the detection element 3413, passes through the pressing assembly 344 and the bending part 3443, is bent and stretched upward by the bending tip 34431 between the pressing assembly 344 and the pressing part 3432 of the second pressing mechanism 343, passes through the output side guide part 3412, passes through the pinwheel 3322 while being abutted against the abutment roller 3324, and is wound onto the second reel 3123. During the carrier tape supply process, the first ionizer 3414 removes static electricity from the carrier tape A3. Through the first pressing mechanism 342, the carrier tape A3 is separated by the bending part 3443 into an input part A34 on the input side guide part 3411 side and an output part A35 on the output side guide part 12 side.

[0028] 3, by the X-axis movement of the joining device 3 along the slide rail 23 of the beam 21 of the moving mechanism 2 and the Z-axis movement of the drive module 32, the joining module 34 of the joining device 3 is quickly moved and aligned with the conveying device 1 so that the load measuring device 4 can measure its load and force. The Z-axis detector 51 of the alignment detection unit 5 detects the alignment of the joining module 34 with the conveying route.

[0029] 7 and 11, the carrier tape A3 is fed intermittently, and in each movement, it moves only a distance corresponding to one adhesive component A. Specifically, when the carrier tape A3 is supplied with the adhesive component A facing downward and passes the detection element 3413 and the adhesive component A is detected by the detection element 3413, in the next movement, the adhesive component A is moved together with the carrier tape A3 so that the front end of the adhesive component A is aligned with the roller 3442 of the pressing assembly 344. At the same time, the bending component 3443 is urged by the action of the urging component 3448, and the threaded component 3449 is screwed into the through hole 3450, so that the bending tip 34431 is tilted downward, and one end of the bending component 3443 close to the roller 3442 is separated from the roller 3442 of the bending component, and the other end with the bending tip 34431 is higher.

[0030] 7 and 12, in this embodiment, the base component B has a substrate B1 on which a die B2 is mounted. An electronic component B11, such as a power receiving component or circuit, is mounted adjacent to the die B2 on the substrate B1, and the electronic component B11 protrudes beyond the bonding area B21 of the die B2. During operation of the bonding module 34, the Z-axis driver 3421 (see FIG. 8) operates to drive the movable stage 3422 and the roller 3442 of the pressing assembly 344 to move downward. The roller 3442 indirectly contacts and presses the front end of the bonded component A via the carrier tape A3, bringing the bonded component A into contact with the bonding starting point of the bonding area B21 of the base component B. At the same time, the bending tip 34431 is rotated clockwise around the axis of rotation defined by the two pivot arms 3446 by the protruding electronic element B11, the biasing element 3448 is compressed by the fine adjustment element 3445, the bending tip 34431 rotates upward to avoid the electronic element B11, and since the electronic element B11 is located below the bending tip 34431 and spaced apart from the bending tip 34431 by the carrier tape A3, it does not interfere with the rotation and pressing of the roller 3442 when adhering the adhesive component A to the base component B.

[0031] 7 and 13, after the leading edge of the adhesive component A contacts and is attached to the adhesive starting point on the front end side of the adhesive area B21 of the base component B, the adhesive module 34 is driven by the X-axis driver 3143 to move horizontally in the X-axis direction toward the input portion A34 of the carrier tape A3, and the roller 3442 of the pressing assembly 344 presses the carrier tape A3 while rotating on the carrier tape A3, and adhesively attaches the adhesive component A to the adhesive area B21 of the base component B until the trailing edge of the adhesive component A contacts and is attached to the rear end side of the adhesive area B21 of the base component B. This forces out any air bubbles during the adhesive component A bonding process. As the roller 3442 rotates, the carrier tape A3 is continuously transported toward the output section A35 and bent by the bending tip 34431. The bending part 3443 moves in the X-axis direction along with the roller 3442, passing through the electronic component B11. Then, due to the action of the biasing part 3448, the bending tip 34431 tilts downward, indirectly connecting and pressing the joining start point on the front end side of the joining area B21. Simultaneously with the rotation of the roller 3442, the bending tip 34431 indirectly scrapes the bonded component A from the carrier tape A3 through the carrier tape A3 until it reaches the joining end point on the rear end side of the joining area B21 of the base component B, firmly and flatly attaching the bonded component A to the joining area B21 of the base component B. As the roller 3442 rotates, the pressing part 3432 of the second pressing mechanism 343 also moves in the X-axis direction along with the roller 3442. When the bent tip 34431 scrapes off the adhesive part A, the pressing part 3432 is driven to incline toward the bent tip 34431, and after passing the electronic element B11, it reaches the joining start point of the joining area B21 of the base part B.

[0032] 7 and 14, when the bending tip 34431 of the bending part 3443 indirectly contacts and presses against the joining start point of the joining area B21 of the base part B, a part of the bonded part A is attached to the base part B, and the length of the part of the bonded part A is the distance between the point of contact between the roller 3442 and the carrier tape A3 and the bending tip 34431. Furthermore, as the bending tip 34431 moves in the X-axis direction toward the input part A34 of the carrier tape A3, a part of the carrier tape A3 is transported toward the output part A35, bent by the bending tip 34431, and becomes the output part A35, and the part of the carrier tape A3 is peeled off from the bonded part A attached to the joining area B21 of the base part B. As the pressing part 3432 moves in the X-axis direction together with the roller 3442 and the bending tip 34431 of the bending part 3443, the pressing part 3432 rotates on the upper surface of the adhesive part A and directly presses the upper surface until it reaches the joining end point of the joining area B21 of the base part B, thereby firmly attaching the adhesive part A to the joining area B21 of the base part B.

[0033] In another embodiment, the bonding process is performed using the bending part 3443 and roller 3442 of the first pressing mechanism 342, thereby firmly bonding the bonded part A to the bonding area B21 of the base part B without generating air bubbles. Therefore, the pressing part 3432 of the second pressing mechanism 343 may be omitted. The pressing part 3432 can more stably and firmly bond the bonded part A to the bonding area B21 of the base part B. Furthermore, when scraping off the bonded part A, the bending tip 34431 may be placed horizontally rather than tilted downward. Furthermore, when the electronic element B11 protruding from the bonding area B21 is omitted, the bending part 3443 may be fixedly disposed on the mounting seat 3441.
