Description

Semiconductor product packaging device TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of semiconductor product packaging, in particular to a semiconductor product packaging device. BACKGROUND

[0002] Semiconductor product packaging needs to go through preheating, sintering and cooling three processes. In the sintering process, the chip on the semiconductor product is pressed by the pressure head of the pressing mechanism. In general, a layer of film is needed to be interposed between the pressing device and the semiconductor product to prevent damage to the chip. New film is used for each hot pressing. In addition, the oxygen content in the sintering environment is strictly limited to reduce the oxygen content as much as possible to avoid oxidation.

[0003] In the patent with the patent name of chip packaging system and the application number of CN202311727181.3, in order to interpose new film between the pressure head and the semiconductor product during each sintering, a film interposing device and a film removing device are provided. The working process of the film interposing device is that the film discharge unit discharges the strip film, the film cutting unit cuts the strip film to form the film material, the holding unit adsorbs the film material, and then the film carrying unit drives the holding unit and the film material adsorbed by the holding unit to move to realize film interposition. After hot pressing, the film material is removed by the film removing device. The working process of the film removing device is that the cover plate on the tool placed on the film removing table is removed in advance, the film removing unit is driven by the film removing moving unit to move downward, the sealing seat presses the film material on the bottom plate to form a sealed cavity again, then gas is filled into the sealed cavity, the film material in the separation cavity moves upward and bulges, and the film material is pressed by the pressing rod at the position opposite to the limiting area of the chip to prevent the chip and the film material from moving upward together, so as to realize the separation of the film material and the chip.

[0004] Therefore, in the patent with the patent name of chip packaging system, the structure of the film interposing device and the film removing device which continuously interpose new film between the pressure head and the semiconductor product is very complex, and the process is very complicated, resulting in a complex and large structure of the whole chip packaging system and low production efficiency.

The film unwinding end and the film winding end are located on both sides of the pressing device and move up and down synchronously with the pressing device. The film unwound by the film unwinding end enters the film winding end after passing through the lower surface of the pressing device.

[0006] In the patent of the online hot-pressing equipment with vacuum function, although the continuous supply of the film can be realized and the structure is simplified to a certain extent, there are still many problems: the winding end and the unwinding end are lifted synchronously with the pressing device, share a lifting power mechanism, and the load of the lifting power mechanism is increased; the winding end and the unwinding end are lifted in the sintering cavity, the space of the sintering cavity must be increased, and the volume of the entire packaging equipment is also increased; the unused film roll on the winding end is deformed and has low strength due to being in the high temperature of the sintering cavity for a long time; and the winding end and the unwinding end are inconvenient to change the roll.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0052] In order to make the content of the present application more easily understood, the present application will be further described in detail below according to specific embodiments and in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0053] Embodiment one

[0054] As shown in FIGS. 1-12, a semiconductor product packaging device comprises:

[0056] Carrying mechanism 6 for driving tooling 10 to transfer between chambers;

[0057] Frame structure 7, comprising outer fixed frame 71, flexible connecting ring 72 and inner lifting frame 73 connected in sequence from outside to inside, and lifting driving mechanism 74 connected with inner lifting frame 73 to drive inner lifting frame 73 to lift, flexible connecting ring 72 is used to seal the gap between outer fixed frame 71 and inner lifting frame 73, and inner lifting frame 73 surrounds the outer periphery of the top opening of sintering chamber 3;

[0058] The hot-pressing sintering film coating mechanism 8 comprises a film unwinding assembly 81 and a film winding assembly 82. The film 83 unwound by the film unwinding assembly 81 is wound by the film winding assembly 82 after passing through the inner lifting frame 73.

[0059] The pressure joint mechanism 9 is used to press the film 83 tightly against the semiconductor product after the inner lifting frame 73 drives the film 83 to move downward to the preset position.

[0060] The working process of the whole semiconductor product packaging equipment is as follows. The tooling 10 carrying the semiconductor product enters the front sealing transfer chamber 1 from the equipment entrance under the action of the conveying mechanism 6, and then passes through the front sealing transfer chamber 1 to the preheating chamber 2. After preheating in the preheating chamber 2, the tooling 10 reaches the sintering chamber 3 under the action of the conveying mechanism 6. The lifting drive mechanism 74 first drives the inner lifting frame 73 to drive the film 83 to move downward to the preset position. The pressure joint mechanism 9 then presses the film 83 tightly on the chip of the semiconductor product through the pressure head. After hot-pressing sintering, the pressure joint mechanism 9 and the inner lifting frame 73 are reset, the film winding assembly 82 winds the used film 83, and the conveying mechanism 6 conveys the tooling 10 to the cooling chamber 3. After cooling is completed in the cooling chamber 3, the tooling 10 is conveyed out of the equipment from the rear sealing transfer chamber 5.

[0061] Specifically, the front sealing transfer chamber 1 at the first stage and the rear sealing transfer chamber 5 at the last stage are used to reduce the amount of external air entering the sintering chamber 3 as much as possible from the entrance and exit of the equipment. The hot-pressing sintering film coating mechanism 8 is used to realize the connection and film feeding. The whole frame structure 7 is used to ensure the sealing of the sintering chamber 3 even if the film roll is outside, so as to ensure the low-oxygen environment of the sintering chamber 3 and conveniently supply high-quality film 83 to the sintering chamber 3. The equipment structure is simplified, and the sintering quality and efficiency are improved.

[0062] The flexible connecting ring 72 can be a silica gel sealing cover, which can seal the gap between the outer fixed frame 71 and the inner lifting frame 73 and will not interfere with the lifting of the inner lifting frame 73.

[0063] Embodiment Two

[0064] Based on the embodiment one, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the outer fixed frame 71 and the inner lifting frame 73 are at least two layers stacked in an up-down manner. The outer ring part of the flexible connecting ring 72 is pressure jointed between two layers of the outer fixed frame 71, and the inner ring part is pressure jointed between two layers of the inner lifting frame 73.

[0065] In this way, the connection between the flexible connecting ring 72 and the outer fixed frame 71 and the inner lifting frame 73 is facilitated. Bonding, welding or other connection methods can also be used or added.

[0066] Embodiment Three

[0067] On the basis of embodiment two, as shown in FIGS. 3, 4, the outermost edge of the outer ring portion and the innermost edge of the inner ring portion are thickened portions 721, and the gap between two layers of the outer fixed frame 71 and the inner lifting frame 73 has a widened portion 701, and the thickened portion 721 is sealed and extruded between the corresponding widened portion 701.

[0068] Specifically, through the cooperation of the thickened portion 721 and the widened portion 701, the sealing and the firmness of the connection between the outer ring portion and the outer fixed frame 71 and between the inner ring portion and the inner lifting frame 73 can be improved, and the entry of external gas into the sintering chamber 3 from the connection can be prevented.

[0069] Embodiment four

[0070] On the basis of embodiment two or embodiment three, as shown in FIGS. 3, 4, the inner lifting frame 73 is a three-layer structure arranged in layers, which is an upper layer 731, an intermediate layer 732 and a lower layer 733 in turn, the inner ring portion is crimped between the intermediate layer 732 and the lower layer 733, the film 83 passes through the gap between the upper layer 731 and the intermediate layer 732, and the two side edges of the film 83 outwardly exceed the inner side of the intermediate layer 732 and the lower layer 733, and do not reach the outer side of the intermediate layer 732 and the lower layer 733.

[0071] Specifically, the three-layer structure of the inner lifting frame 733 facilitates assembly and can facilitate cooperation between the film 83 and the flexible connecting ring 72.

[0072] It should be noted that the three-layer structure of the inner lifting frame 73 can be connected as a whole by bolt connection or bonding, welding. When connected by bolts, the bolts can be arranged at the four corner portions of the inner lifting frame 73, outwardly exceeding the film 83 and avoiding the flexible connecting ring 72, so as not to interfere with the passage of the film 83 from the gap between the upper layer 731 and the intermediate layer 732, and also not to affect the sealing connection between the inner ring portion and the inner lifting frame 73.

[0073] Embodiment five

[0074] On the basis of embodiment four, as shown in FIGS. 3, 4, the structure formed by the upper layer 731 and the intermediate layer 732 is provided with a gas-proof structure at the front half of the front end and the rear half of the rear end, respectively, the gas-proof structure includes a protruding rib 7311 arranged on one of the upper layer 731 and the intermediate layer 732 and a groove 7321 arranged on the other, and the film 83 passes through the gap between the protruding rib 7311 and the groove 7321.

[0075] In this way, the contact area between the film and the inner lifting frame 73 can be increased, the passage path can be prolonged, and the passage path has a certain tortuosity, which can reduce the amount of air entering the sintering chamber 3 along with the film 83 from the gap between the upper layer 731 and the intermediate layer 732 as much as possible.

[0076] Embodiment Six

[0077] On the basis of any one of Embodiment One to Embodiment Five, as shown in FIG. 2, FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, the semiconductor product packaging device further comprises a pressure plate 110 connected to the inner lifting frame 73 through a plurality of elastic connecting structures 120 and located below the inner lifting frame 73, the pressure plate 110 has a pressure frame 1101 corresponding to each hole of the tool 10, and the pressure frame 1101 is used to press the non-chip part of the edge of the semiconductor product; wherein,

[0078] In the process of descending the inner lifting frame 73, the pressure plate 110 is first driven to descend by the elastic connecting structure 120, so that the pressure frame 1101 is pressed tightly against the non-chip part of the edge of the semiconductor product, and then the elastic connecting structure 120 is compressed and continues to descend to make the film 83 tightly adhere to the pressure plate 110.

[0079] Specifically, before the pressing head of the pressure mechanism 9 presses the chip on the semiconductor product, the non-chip part of the edge of the semiconductor product is pressed by the pressure plate 110, which can achieve the purpose of positioning the semiconductor product and prevent the semiconductor product from shifting during the process of pressing the chip of the semiconductor product by the pressing head. In addition, the pressure plate 110 also isolates the film 83 from the semiconductor product, leaving a gap between them with the same thickness as the pressure plate 110, avoiding the occurrence of bubbles, wrinkles and other situations caused by the large-area adhesion of the film 83 on the semiconductor product.

[0080] Among them, the elastic connecting structure 120 can play a buffering role in the process of pressing the semiconductor product by the pressure plate 110, avoiding the non-chip part of the edge of the semiconductor product from being damaged. The structure of the elastic connecting structure 120 can be composed of a connecting column, a blocking part and a spring. The upper end of the connecting column is fixedly connected with the inner lifting frame 73, the lower end is slidably connected through the hole on the bending part of the side of the pressure plate 110, the spring is sleeved on the connecting column, the upper end is in abutment with the inner lifting frame 73, and the lower end is in abutment with the bending part of the side of the pressure plate 110. The blocking part is connected to the bottom end of the connecting column, which is used to prevent the pressure plate 110 from being separated from the lower end of the connecting column, and to lift the pressure plate 110 together in the process of lifting the inner lifting frame 73.

[0081] Embodiment Seven

[0082] On the basis of any one of Embodiment One to Embodiment Six, as shown in FIG. 2, FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, the bottom of each hole of the tool 10 is hollow, and the tool support plate 31 of the sintering chamber 3 has a protruding part 311 corresponding to each hole of the tool 10. When the tool 10 is transferred to the tool support plate 31 by the handling mechanism 6, the protruding part 311 lifts the semiconductor product on the tool 10 from the bottom hollow part.

[0083] Specifically, the semiconductor product is held up by the protrusion 311, and is supported by the protrusion 311 during the process that the pressing head of the pressing mechanism 9 hot-presses the chip of the semiconductor product. Thus, even if the tool 10 is deformed or the like, the hot-press sintering of the semiconductor product is not affected, and the semiconductor product is not dependent on the tool 10.

[0084] Embodiment Eight

[0085] On the basis of any one of Embodiments One to Seven, as shown in Figs. 5 and 6, the front sealing transfer chamber 1 and the rear sealing transfer chamber 5 respectively comprise:

[0088] An air extraction box 14 is arranged below the cavity bottom of the transfer cavity 12, the air extraction box 14 forms an air extraction cavity 15 which is separated from the transfer cavity 12 and is located below the first transfer port 121, the top of one end of the air extraction cavity 15 is blocked, the top of the other end is provided with an air flow port 141 which is in communication with the air extraction cavity 15, the air flow port 141 is located at the end of the first transfer port 121 of the transfer cavity 12, and is located at the cavity bottom of the transfer cavity 12, the one end of the top of the air extraction cavity 15 is provided with an air extraction port 142 for connecting with an air extraction device;

[0090] The front seal transfer chamber 1 and the rear seal transfer chamber 5 in the embodiment are blocked by the shutter mechanism 13 when the first transfer port 121 and the second transfer port 122 do not need to transfer products, so as to prevent outside air from flowing through. It should be noted that the shutter mechanism 13 of the first transfer port 121 and the second transfer port 122 cannot be opened at the same time, so as to minimize the outside air entering other chambers through the front seal transfer chamber 1 or the rear seal transfer chamber 5.

[0091] When the first transfer port 121 is opened for semiconductor product transfer, outside air enters the transfer chamber 12 through the first transfer port 121. At this time, the air curtain 13 is designed to prevent air from spreading from the first transfer port 121 to the second transfer port 122. The air curtains 13 spaced apart in the direction from the first transfer port 121 to the second transfer port 122 form multiple barriers to air flow, prolong the path of air spreading from the first transfer port 121 to the second transfer port 122, and can make most of the air entering the first transfer port 121 be limited in the vicinity of the first transfer port 121, especially prevent air from spreading to the area where the second transfer port 122 is located;

[0092] The air extraction chamber 15 is arranged below the first transfer port 121 to provide a larger accumulation space for air near the first transfer port 121, so that oxygen accumulates in the air extraction chamber 15 and helps to extract more gas in a short time. Once the oxygen enters the air extraction chamber 15 from the air flow port 141, it will flow to the air extraction port 142. The top of the air extraction chamber 15 at the end of the air extraction port 142 is blocked, which can prevent oxygen from returning to the transfer chamber 12 upward, thereby enhancing the control effect of oxygen;

[0093] The air flow port 142 is located at the end of the first transfer port 121 of the air extraction chamber 15, and the air flow port 142 is close to the bottom of the transfer chamber 12. When air is extracted, a negative pressure is formed at the air flow port 142, so as to guide the gas at the bottom of the air extraction chamber 15 to flow to the air flow port 142 and then be discharged from the air extraction chamber 15. This design helps to remove oxygen and other impurities at the bottom of the transfer chamber 12, and effectively controls the oxygen content in the cabinet 11.

[0094] The first blowing pipe 16 and the second blowing pipe 17 are arranged close to the first transfer port 121 and the second transfer port 122 respectively, so that the protective gas blown can directly act on the two key areas. The nitrogen gas blown by the first blowing pipe 16 can form an air flow barrier to prevent external oxygen from entering the transfer cavity 12 through the first transfer port 121, especially when the first transfer port 121 is opened for semiconductor product transfer. The first blowing pipe 16 can quickly blow away the air that may enter, ensuring that the oxygen content in the transfer cavity 12 remains stable. In addition, the first blowing pipe 16 is arranged at the first transfer port 121, so that the tooling 10 carrying the semiconductor product first passes through the nitrogen gas blown by the first blowing pipe 16 for flushing, and then is conveyed backward. In this way, the air carried in the internal gap of the tooling 10 can be blown away, further improving the oxygen content control effect in the transfer cavity 12.

[0095] The second blowing pipe 17 can blow nitrogen gas from the end of the transfer cavity 12 close to the second transfer port 122 to help further displace the oxygen in the transfer cavity 12, so as to ensure that the oxygen content at the end of the second transfer port 122 is effectively controlled, and improve the use efficiency of nitrogen gas.

[0096] In addition, the entire transfer cavity 12 is in a micro-positive pressure environment, thereby reducing the amount of air entering it.

[0097] Embodiment Nine

[0098] On the basis of any one of the embodiments one to eight, as shown in FIG. 7, the unwinding assembly 81 includes an unwinding end 811, an unwinding sliding roller 812, and at least one unwinding guide roller 813.

[0099] The winding assembly 82 includes a winding end 821, a winding sliding roller 822, and at least one winding guide roller 823; wherein,

[0100] The film 83 unwound by the unwinding end 811 is wound by the winding end 821 after passing through the unwinding sliding roller 812, the unwinding guide roller 813, the winding guide roller 823, and the winding sliding roller 822 in sequence. A part of the film 83 between the unwinding assembly 81 and the winding assembly 82 is sealed through the inner lifting frame 73 as an effective area.

[0101] The unwinding sliding roller 812 and the winding sliding roller 822 are respectively located above the film 83 and are configured to be able to slide up and down. In the case that the effective area does not move down to the preset position, the unwinding sliding roller 812 and the winding sliding roller 822 have an upper sliding space.

[0102] Specifically, the embodiment provides the film tension for the unwinding assembly 81 by the gravity of the unwinding sliding roller 812 and provides the film tension for the winding assembly 82 by the winding sliding roller 822. During the process that the pressing mechanism 9 of the hot-pressing sintering station presses the effective area to move downwards, the unwinding sliding roller 812 and the winding sliding roller 822 slide upwards, the film 83 between the unwinding assembly 81 and the winding assembly 82 is lengthened, the effective area can move downwards with the inner lifting frame 73 under the pressing of the lifting driving mechanism 73, reaches the preset position, and then is tightly attached to the chip of the semiconductor product under the pressing of the pressing head of the pressing mechanism 9, thereby protecting the chip. The embodiment can make the effective area move downwards by the upward sliding of the unwinding sliding roller 812 and the winding sliding roller 822 while keeping the height of the unwinding end 811 and the winding end 821 unchanged. The embodiment does not need to place the unwinding end 811 and the winding end 821 in the sintering chamber 3, or even does not need to place the unwinding assembly 81 and the winding assembly 82 in the sintering chamber 3, thereby reducing the space of the sintering chamber 3. In addition, the unused film 83 does not need to be in the high-temperature environment of the sintering chamber 3 for a long time, thereby avoiding the deformation and damage of the film 83. After the film 83 at the unwinding end 811 is used up, the film can be conveniently replaced.

[0103] As shown in FIG. 7, the hot-pressing sintering film coating mechanism further includes two mounting frames, the two mounting frames are respectively provided with sliding rails extending in the up-down direction, the roller seats of the unwinding sliding roller 812 and the winding sliding roller 822 are slidingly installed on the sliding rails of the corresponding mounting frames, the unwinding guide roller 813 is rotationally supported on the mounting frame where the unwinding sliding roller 812 is located, and the winding guide roller 823 is rotationally supported on the mounting frame where the winding sliding roller 822 is located. Of course, the two mounting frames can also be connected as an integral structure.

[0104] As shown in FIG. 7, the hot-pressing sintering film coating mechanism further includes:

[0105] A position detection device for detecting the position of the unwinding sliding roller 812;

[0106] A winding length detection device 84 for detecting the winding length of the winding end 821;

[0107] A control device connected with the displacement detection device, the winding length detection device 84, the unwinding end 811 and the winding end 821 respectively, for:

[0108] The controller controls the winding end 821 to start winding first, and during the winding process of the winding end 821, the film 83 first drives the winding sliding roller 822 to slide upwards, and then drives the unwinding sliding roller 812 to slide upwards. When the unwinding sliding roller 812 slides to a first preset position, the controller controls the unwinding end 811 to start unwinding. When the winding length reaches a preset length, the controller controls the winding end 821 to stop winding, and the unwinding sliding roller 812 slides downwards. When the unwinding sliding roller 812 slides to a second preset position, the controller controls the unwinding end 811 to stop unwinding.

[0109] Specifically, in this way, the length of the film 83 between the unwinding end 811 and the winding end 821 can be ensured to be equal each time the material is fed, and after the unwinding end 811 stops unwinding each time, the unwinding sliding roller 812 is at the same position, which is beneficial to the long-term stable work of the entire film mechanism and even the hot-pressing sintering station.

[0110] The controller is also used to control the unwinding speed of the unwinding end 811 according to the position of the unwinding sliding roller 812 during the winding process of the winding end 821 and the unwinding process of the unwinding end 811. Specifically, the preset stroke interval of the unwinding sliding roller 812 is divided into at least two continuous position intervals. In the same position interval, the same unwinding speed is executed, and in different position intervals, the higher the position, the faster the unwinding speed.

[0111] In this way, the unwinding sliding roller 812 can be well ensured to slide within a certain range, and the relative consistency of the unwinding speed and the winding speed can also be ensured.

[0112] Embodiment Ten

[0113] Based on any one of the embodiments one to nine, as shown in FIG. 8, the conveying mechanism 6 comprises:

[0114] The conveying rod 61 is used to transfer the tooling 10. One of the tooling 10 and the conveying rod 61 is provided with a positioning pin 611, and the other is provided with a positioning groove 101.

[0115] The X-axis moving unit 62 is arranged on the rack 130 and has an output end moving along the X-axis direction.

[0116] The first decoupling structure 63 is movably connected to the output end of the X-axis moving unit 62 along the Z-axis direction, and enables the output end of the X-axis moving unit 62 to drive the first decoupling structure 63 and the conveying rod 61 to move along the X-axis direction.

[0117] The Z-axis moving unit 64 is arranged on the rack 130 and has an output end moving along the Z-axis direction.

[0118] The second decoupling structure 655 movably connects the carrying rod 61 along the X-axis direction to the output end of the Z-axis moving unit 64, and enables the output end of the Z-axis moving unit 64 to drive the second decoupling structure 655 and the carrying rod 61 to ascend and descend along the Z-axis direction;

[0119] The Z-axis moving unit 64 drives the carrying rod 61 to ascend, so that the positioning pin 611 is inserted into the positioning groove 101, and when the carrying rod 61 holds the bottom of the tooling 10, the X-axis moving unit 62 drives the tooling 10 to move along the X-axis direction through the carrying rod 61.

[0120] For the convenience of description, in the embodiment, the X-axis direction can be the left-right direction, the Y-axis direction can be the front-rear direction, and the Z-axis direction can be the up-down direction.

[0121] The carrying mechanism 6 movably installs the carrying rod 61 along the up-down direction to the output end of the X-axis moving unit 62 through the first decoupling structure 63, so that when the output end of the Z-axis moving unit 64 drives the second decoupling structure 65 and the carrying rod 61 to move up and down, the displacement of the up-down movement is not transmitted to the X-axis moving unit 62, thereby reducing the load of the Z-axis moving unit 64. The carrying rod 61 is movably installed along the X-axis direction to the output end of the Z-axis moving unit 64 through the second decoupling structure 65, so that when the output end of the X-axis moving unit 62 drives the first decoupling structure 63 and the carrying rod 61 to move along the X-axis direction, the displacement along the X-axis direction is not transmitted to the Z-axis moving unit 64, thereby reducing the load of the X-axis moving unit 62. The displacement of the lifting rod 63 along the X-axis direction and the Z-axis direction can be independent of each other, the displacement of the X-axis moving unit 62 and the Z-axis moving unit 64 can be individually transmitted to the carrying rod 61, thereby avoiding cumulative errors, improving the precision of the tooling 10 transfer, and meeting the requirements of the automatic production of the semiconductor packaging;

[0122] The layout of the X-axis moving unit 62 and the Z-axis moving unit 64 of the carrying mechanism 6 is also more flexible, and can be arranged separately, so as to fully utilize the space of the semiconductor product packaging equipment. The two are connected together through the carrying rod 61, and the carrying rod 61 can automatically position the tooling 10 on the carrying rod 61 through the process of upward displacement, that is, the positioning pin 611 is automatically inserted into the positioning groove 101. At this time, the tooling 10 cannot be displaced along the X-axis direction relative to the carrying rod 61, so as to realize the synchronous movement of the tooling 10 along the X-axis direction with the carrying rod 61, thereby achieving the purpose of transfer. Therefore, the clamping mechanism for clamping the tooling 10 can be omitted, thereby having the advantages of simplified structure and reduced space requirement.

[0124] As shown in FIG. 10 and FIG. 11, the second decoupling structure 65 comprises a second decoupling seat 651, a slide 6511 is formed in the second decoupling seat 651, the carrying rod 61 is slidingly installed in the slide 6511 in the X-axis direction, the second decoupling seat 651 is fixedly connected with the output end of the Z-axis moving unit 64, and the carrying rod 61 passes through the slide 6511 of the second decoupling seat 651, which means that the carrying rod 61 is limited in the Z-axis direction and the Y-axis direction, the carrying rod 61 is connected to the output end of the Z-axis moving unit 64 in a mode that can only move left and right, and the Z-axis moving unit 64 can drive the carrying rod 61 to move up and down in the Z-axis direction.
