Description

Mounting Equipment

[0001] The present invention relates to a mounting apparatus.

[0002] Flip-chip bonding is a widely known method for mounting semiconductor chips to substrates. In this method, a semiconductor chip is picked up from a semiconductor wafer, flipped over, and the surface opposite the connection terminals of the semiconductor chip is placed over a bonding tool for suction. The bonding tool then thermally welds the connection terminals of the semiconductor chip to the electrode pads of the substrate, thereby mounting the semiconductor chip to the substrate.

[0004] For example, when supplying multiple semiconductor chips from multiple semiconductor wafers and mounting them on a single substrate, there are two ways to do it: one is to prepare a mounting device for each semiconductor wafer and move the substrate between the mounting devices, and the other is to replace the semiconductor wafer during mounting. In the former case, mounting defects may occur due to misalignment between the substrate and the semiconductor chip. In the latter case, because it takes time to replace the semiconductor wafer, the solder flux may dry out during mounting, causing mounting defects.

[0005] The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and has as its object to provide a mounting apparatus capable of efficiently mounting a plurality of electronic components.

[0006] A mounting device according to one aspect of the present invention includes a plurality of supply modules that supply electronic components, a mounting module that mounts the electronic components on a substrate, and a transport mechanism that has at least one transport unit configured to transport the electronic components from each of the plurality of supply modules to the mounting module, and that extends across the plurality of supply modules and mounting modules in a first direction in a planar view.

[0007] According to the present invention, it is possible to provide a mounting apparatus that can efficiently mount a plurality of electronic components.

[0008] It is a top view showing the mounting apparatus according to the present embodiment, a side view showing the mounting apparatus according to the present embodiment, and a front view showing the mounting apparatus according to the present embodiment.

[0009] The following describes embodiments of the present invention. In the following description of the drawings, the same or similar components are denoted by the same or similar reference numerals. The drawings are illustrative, and the dimensions and shapes of each part are schematic. The technical scope of the present invention should not be interpreted as being limited to the embodiments.

[0010] The mounting apparatus 1 is a flip-chip bonder that mounts semiconductor dies 14A and 14B on a circuit board 41. The semiconductor dies 14A and 14B are an example of electronic components, such as semiconductor chips having integrated circuits.

The substrate may be, for example, a lead frame, a ceramic substrate, a semiconductor substrate, or an electronic component. The electronic components may be directly mounted on the substrate, or may be indirectly mounted on the substrate by being mounted on another electronic component mounted on the substrate.

[0012] The mounting apparatus 1 includes a mounting module 101, multiple supply modules 102A and 102B, and a transport mechanism 120. The mounting module 101, supply module 102A, and supply module 102B are aligned in this order in the X-axis direction. Supply module 102A is adjacent to the mounting module 101 on the negative side of the X-axis, and supply module 102B is adjacent to the mounting module 101 on the negative side of the X-axis, with supply module 102A being located between the mounting module 101 and supply module 102B. Supply module 102A is connected to mounting module 101, and supply module 102B is connected to supply module 102A.

[0013] The mounting module 101 transports the semiconductor dies 14A and 14B in the Y-axis direction and mounts the semiconductor dies 14A and 14B on the circuit board 41. The mounting module 101 is provided with a stand 11.

[0014] As shown in FIG. 1 , a mounting stage 40 is provided on the upper surface of the mount 11. The mounting stage 40 adsorbs a circuit board 41 on which the semiconductor dies 14A and 14B are to be mounted, and heats the circuit board 41 using a built-in heater. A transport rail 42 is connected to the mounting stage 40. The transport rail 42 supplies the circuit board 41 from a board supply module (not shown) to the mounting stage 40, and also supplies the circuit board 41 on which the semiconductor dies 14A and 14B are mounted to a product recovery module (not shown). The transport rail 42 is configured by connecting rails provided in the mounting module 101 and the supply modules 102A and 102B, and extends in the X-axis direction across the mounting module 101 and the supply modules 102A and 102B.

[0015] 1, a pair of guide rails 43 extending in the X-axis direction are provided on the top surface of the base 11. Sliders 44A and 44B are attached to the pair of guide rails 43. The sliders 44A and 44B are configured to be movable in the X-axis direction by a drive motor (not shown).

[0016] A gantry frame 45A is attached to the slider 44A, and a gantry frame 45B is attached to the slider 44B. The gantry frames 45A and 45B are gate-shaped frames extending in the Y-axis direction, with the legs of the gantry frame 45A fixed to the slider 44A and the legs of the gantry frame 45B fixed to the slider 44B. The gantry frame 45A is configured to be movable in the X-axis direction as the slider 44A moves along the guide rails 43. Similarly, the gantry frame 45B is configured to be movable in the X-axis direction as the slider 44B moves along the guide rails 43.

[0017] A mounting head 46A is attached to the gantry frame 45A, and a mounting head 46B is attached to the gantry frame 45B. The mounting head 46A has a mounting nozzle 47A, and the mounting head 46B has a mounting nozzle 47B. The mounting heads 46A and 46B are configured to be movable in the Y-axis direction by a drive motor (not shown). The mounting head 46A sucks and transports the semiconductor die 14A received from the transport mechanism 120 to mount it on the circuit board 41. The mounting head 46B sucks and transports the semiconductor die 14B received from the transport mechanism 120 to mount it on the circuit board 41. The mounting heads 46A and 46B are configured to be movable independently of each other.

[0018] The mounting head 46A is configured to be able to suck and transport both the semiconductor dies 14A and 14B, and the mounting head 46B is similarly configured to be able to suck and transport both the semiconductor dies 14A and 14B. Therefore, the combinations of the mounting heads 46A and 46B with the semiconductor dies 14A and 14B are not limited to those described above. The mounting head 46A may mount the semiconductor die 14B on the circuit board 41, or may mount both the semiconductor dies 14A and 14B on the circuit board 41. Similarly, the mounting head 46B may mount the semiconductor die 14A on the circuit board 41, or may mount both the semiconductor dies 14A and 14B on the circuit board 41.

[0019] As shown in FIG. 2 , the mounting nozzle 47A includes, for example, a motor 50, a base 51, a ball screw 52, ​​a pulse heater 53, and a mounting tool 54. The motor 50 is fixed to the mounting head 46A. The base 51 is attached to the mounting head 46A so as to be movable in the Z direction. The ball screw 52 rotates based on the driving force from the motor 50, thereby moving the base 51 in the Z direction. The pulse heater 53 is attached to the base 51, and a mounting tool 54 is attached below the pulse heater 53. The mounting tool 54 is configured to be able to adsorb the semiconductor chip 14 onto its tip surface. When the base 51 is moved in the Z direction by the motor 50, the mounting tool 54 moves in the Z-axis direction together with the base 51. Although not shown, the mounting nozzle 47B also includes a motor, a base, a ball screw, a pulse heater, and a mounting tool, similar to the mounting nozzle 47A.

[0020] Supply module 102A supplies semiconductor dies 14A, and supply module 102B supplies semiconductor dies 14B. Supply module 102A is provided with wafer holder 12A, and supply module 102B is provided with wafer holder 12B. Wafer holder 12A is annular and holds diced semiconductor wafer 13A. Wafer holder 12B similarly holds diced semiconductor wafer 13B. Wafer holders 12A and 12B are moved in the Y-axis direction by a drive motor (not shown). Wafer holders 12A and 12B are configured not to move in the X-axis direction. Semiconductor dies 14A are an example of a first electronic component, and semiconductor dies 14B are an example of a second electronic component. Supply module 102A is an example of a first supply module that supplies the first electronic component, and supply module 102B is an example of a second supply module that supplies the second electronic component. The semiconductor die 14A, which is the first electronic component, and the semiconductor die 14B, which is the second electronic component, are, for example, different types from each other, but may be the same type.

[0021] A push-up unit 15 is provided below the wafer holders 12A and 12B. As shown in Fig. 3, the push-up unit 15 is configured to be movable between the supply module 102A and the supply module 102B, and pushes up the semiconductor die 14A from the diced semiconductor wafer 13A and pushes up the semiconductor die 14B from the diced semiconductor wafer 13B.

[0022] Alternatively, a first push-up unit for pushing up the semiconductor die 14A from the semiconductor wafer 13A and a second push-up unit for pushing up the semiconductor die 14B from the semiconductor wafer 13B may be provided separately. In this case, the first push-up unit may be provided in the supply module 102A and configured not to be movable to the supply module 102B, and the second push-up unit may be provided in the supply module 102B and configured not to be movable to the supply module 102A.

[0023] The supply modules 102A and 102B are provided with a pickup camera 16. As shown in Fig. 3, the pickup camera 16 is configured to be movable between the supply modules 102A and 102B, and captures an image of the semiconductor die 14A in the semiconductor wafer 13A for position recognition, and also captures an image of the semiconductor die 14B in the semiconductor wafer 13B for position recognition.

[0024] Alternatively, a first pickup camera that captures an image of semiconductor die 14A in semiconductor wafer 13A and a second pickup camera that captures an image of semiconductor die 14B in semiconductor wafer 13B may be provided separately. In this case, the first pickup camera may be provided in supply module 102A and configured not to be able to move to supply module 102B, and the second pickup camera may be provided in supply module 102B and configured not to be able to move to supply module 102A.

[0025] The transfer mechanism 120 is configured to extend in the X-axis direction across the mounting module 101 and the supply modules 102A and 102B. The transfer mechanism 120 includes two transfer units 20A and 20B. The transfer unit 20A is configured to transfer the semiconductor dies 14A and 14B from the supply modules 102A and 102B to the mounting module 101. The transfer unit 20B is configured to transfer the semiconductor dies 14A and 14B from the supply modules 102A and 102B to the mounting module 101. For example, the transfer unit 20A picks up the semiconductor die 14A from the wafer holder 12A, inverts the picked-up semiconductor die 14A, and delivers the inverted semiconductor die 14A to the mounting head 46A. The transfer unit 20B picks up the semiconductor die 14B from the wafer holder 12B, inverts the picked-up semiconductor die 14B, and delivers the inverted semiconductor die 14B to the mounting head 46B.

[0026] As shown in FIG. 2, the transport unit 20A includes, for example, a guide rail 21A, a slider 22A, a carriage 23A, a rotary shaft 24A, and a transport head 25A.

[0027] The guide rail 21A is fixed to a recess 11A formed on the top surface of the frame 11. The recess 11A has a long groove shape extending in the X direction. The guide rail 21A is configured by connecting rails provided on the mounting module 101 and the supply modules 102A and 102B, and extends in the X-axis direction across the mounting module 101 and the supply modules 102A and 102B. A slider 22A is attached to the guide rail 21A. The slider 22A is configured to be movable in the X-axis direction by a drive motor (not shown). A carriage 23A is attached to the slider 22A. The carriage 23A is configured to be movable in the X-axis direction by the slider 22A moving along the guide rail 21A. A rotation shaft 24A is attached to the carriage 23A. An attachment arm of the rotation shaft 24A extends in a direction obliquely intersecting the center line of the rotation shaft 24A. A transport head 25A is attached to the tip of the mounting arm of the rotary shaft 24A. A stepping motor (not shown) rotates the rotary shaft 24A, causing the transport head 25A to rotate in an inverted direction.

[0028] The transfer head 25A transfers, for example, a semiconductor die 14A from the supply module 102A to the mounting module 101. The transfer head 25A includes a base 27A and a pickup nozzle 28A. The base 27A is plate-shaped and is fixed to the tip of the mounting arm of the rotation shaft 24A. The pickup nozzle 28A is fixed to the base 27A. The pickup nozzle 28A includes, for example, a casing 29A, a suction head 30A, and an electromagnetic coil 31A. The casing 29A is annular and houses the electromagnetic coil 31A in its annular portion. A through-hole extending in the longitudinal direction of the casing 29A is formed in the center of the casing 29A. The suction head 30A is configured to be able to suction the semiconductor die 14A onto its tip surface. The suction head 30A is housed in the through-hole of the casing 29A. The suction head 30A is configured to move through the through-hole of the casing 29A by energizing the electromagnetic coil 31A, and the amount of feed from the end face of the casing 29A can be adjusted.

[0029] Similar to transport unit 20A, transport unit 20B includes a guide rail 21B, a slider 22B, a carriage 23B, a rotation shaft 24B, and a transport head 25B. Guide rail 21B is provided parallel to guide rail 21A. Guide rail 21B is fixed to a portion of recess 11A facing guide rail 21A. Transport head 25A and transport head 25B are configured to be able to move independently of each other and can pass each other.

[0030] The transfer head 25B transfers, for example, a semiconductor die 14B from the supply module 102B to the mounting module 101. Similar to the transfer head 25A, the transfer head 25B includes a base 27B and a pickup nozzle 28B, which includes a casing 29B, a suction head 30B, and an electromagnetic coil 31B.

[0031] The transfer head 25A is configured to be able to adsorb and transport both the semiconductor dies 14A and 14B, and the transfer head 25B is similarly configured to be able to adsorb and transport both the semiconductor dies 14A and 14B. Therefore, the combination of the multiple transfer heads 25A and 25B with the multiple semiconductor dies 14A and 14B is not limited to the above. The transfer head 25A may transport the semiconductor die 14B, or may transport both the semiconductor dies 14A and 14B. Similarly, the transfer head 25B may transport the semiconductor die 14A, or may transport both the semiconductor dies 14A and 14B. Furthermore, the mounting device may be provided with only one transfer head, and this single transfer head may transport both the semiconductor dies 14A and 14B.

[0032] Next, the operation from supplying the semiconductor die 14A to mounting will be described.

[0033] First, pickup camera 16 captures an image of semiconductor die 14A on semiconductor wafer 13A to confirm the position of semiconductor die 14A. Push-up unit 15 pushes up semiconductor die 14A from semiconductor wafer 13A held by wafer holder 12A. Transfer head 25A picks up semiconductor die 14A, and transfers it from wafer holder 12A of supply module 102A to transfer unit 20A of transfer mechanism 120. Transfer unit 20A transfers the adsorbed semiconductor die 14A from supply module 102A to mounting module 101.

[0034] The semiconductor die 14A transported to the mounting module 101 is inverted together with the transport head 25A by the rotating shaft 24A. The mounting head 46A moves above the inverted semiconductor die 14A, and the motor 50 of the mounting nozzle 47A rotates the ball screw 52, ​​causing the base unit 51, pulse heater 53, and mounting tool 54 to descend. The mounting tool 54, which has descended to the position of the semiconductor die 14A, picks up the inverted semiconductor die 14A. This transfers the semiconductor die 14A from the transport head 25A to the mounting head 46A. The mounting tool 54, which has picked up the semiconductor die 14A, is raised by the ball screw 52, ​​which is rotated by the driving force of the motor 50, and is transported by the mounting head 46A along the gantry frame 45A to above the mounting stage 40. Here, the motor 50 of the mounting nozzle 47A rotates the ball screw 52, ​​causing the base part 51, pulse heater 53, and mounting tool 54 to descend, and the semiconductor die 14A is pressed against the circuit board 41. At this time, the semiconductor die 14A is heated by the pulse heater 53 and is mounted on the circuit board 41. The mounting tool 54 releases the suction of the semiconductor die 14A, and after releasing the semiconductor die 14A mounted on the circuit board 41, the mounting tool 54 rises due to the ball screw 52 rotating with the driving force of the motor 50, and moves above the semiconductor die 14A that has been sucked onto the inverted transfer head 25A to receive the next semiconductor die 14A.

[0035] While the transport head 25A is transporting the semiconductor die 14A, the pickup camera 16 and the push-up unit 15 move from the supply module 102A to the supply module 102B. Then, in the supply module 102B, as in the supply module 102A, the semiconductor die 14B is transferred from the wafer holder 12B of the supply module 102B to the transport unit 20B of the transport mechanism 120. The transport unit 20B then transports the adsorbed semiconductor die 14B from the supply module 102B to the mounting module 101. The transported semiconductor die 14B is then transferred from the transport head 25B to the mounting head 46B, which then mounts the semiconductor die 14B on the circuit board 41. In this manner, the semiconductor die 14A and the semiconductor die 14B are mounted on the circuit board 41 alternately or simultaneously.

[0036] As described above, in the mounting device 1 of this embodiment, the mounting module 101, the supply module 102A, and the supply module 102B are arranged in this order in the X-axis direction, and the transport mechanism 120 has a plurality of transport units 20A, 20B configured to be able to transport a plurality of semiconductor dies 14A, 14B from each of the plurality of supply modules 102A, 102B, and is configured to extend in the X-axis direction across the mounting module 101 and the plurality of supply modules 102A, 102B.

[0037] This reduces the likelihood of misalignment of the semiconductor dies relative to the circuit board compared to a system that mounts multiple semiconductor dies supplied from multiple semiconductor wafers onto a single circuit board by preparing a mounting device for each semiconductor wafer and moving a single circuit board between the mounting devices. This reduces the occurrence of mounting defects due to misalignment. Furthermore, compared to a system that mounts multiple semiconductor dies supplied from multiple semiconductor wafers onto a single circuit board by replacing the semiconductor wafer during mounting using a single mounting device, this system reduces the mounting time, thereby preventing the drying of flux in the solder that joins the circuit board and the semiconductor dies. This reduces the occurrence of mounting defects due to drying of flux. Therefore, a mounting device 1 can be provided that can efficiently mount multiple semiconductor dies 14A, 14B onto a single circuit board 41.

[0038] In addition, in this embodiment, the mounting apparatus 1 has a supply module 102A that supplies the semiconductor die 14A and a supply module 102B that supplies the semiconductor die 14B, and the semiconductor die 14A and the semiconductor die 14B are of different types.

[0039] This allows two types of semiconductor dies 14A and 14B to be mounted efficiently on one circuit board 41.

[0040] In this embodiment, the wafer holder 12A of the supply module 102A and the wafer holder 12B of the supply module 102B are configured to be movable in the Y-axis direction. The Y-axis direction, which is the direction of movement of each of the multiple wafer holders 12A and 12B, intersects with, for example, is perpendicular to, the X-axis direction, which is the direction of movement of each of the multiple transport units 20A and 20B.

[0041] With this, even if each of the plurality of wafer holders 12A, 12B does not move in the X-axis direction, the plurality of transport units 20A, 20B can pick up the semiconductor die 14A from the entire area of ​​the semiconductor wafer 13A and can pick up the semiconductor die 14B from the entire area of ​​the semiconductor wafer 13B. Therefore, compared to a case where the wafer holders are configured to be movable in the X-axis direction as well, the mounting device 1 can be made smaller.

[0042] In this embodiment, the mounting module 101 also has a plurality of mounting heads 46A, 46B that receive the semiconductor dies 14A, 14B from the plurality of transport units 20A, 20B and mount them on the circuit board 41. The plurality of mounting heads 46A, 46B are configured to be movable independently of each other.

[0043] This allows the efficiency of mounting the multiple semiconductor dies 14A and 14B in the mounting module 101 to be improved.

[0044] In this embodiment, the mounting apparatus 1 further includes a push-up unit 15. The push-up unit 15 is configured to be movable between the plurality of supply modules 102A and 102B, and pushes up the semiconductor die 14A from the semiconductor wafer 13A and delivers it to the transport unit 20A, and pushes up the semiconductor die 14B from the semiconductor wafer 13B and delivers it to the transport unit 20B.

[0045] According to this aspect, two supply modules 102A and 102B can share one push-up unit 15, which simplifies the configuration of the mounting device 1 compared to when each supply module has its own push-up unit, thereby reducing the manufacturing and maintenance costs of the mounting device 1.

[0046] In this embodiment, the mounting apparatus 1 further includes a pickup camera 16. The pickup camera 16 is configured to be movable between the plurality of supply modules 102A and 102B, and recognizes the position of the semiconductor die 4A in the supply module 102A and the position of the semiconductor die 14B in the supply module 102B.

[0047] According to this aspect, one pickup camera 16 can be shared by two supply modules 102A and 102B, which simplifies the configuration of the mounting device 1 compared to when each supply module has its own pickup camera, thereby reducing the manufacturing and maintenance costs of the mounting device 1.

[0048] In this embodiment, the mounting apparatus 1 includes two supply modules 102A and 102B, but a mounting apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention may include three or more supply modules. To increase the variety of semiconductor dies to be mounted on the circuit board 41 from the mounting apparatus 1, an additional supply module can be connected to the side of supply module 102B opposite to the supply module 102A side, and the transport mechanism 120 can be extended to cover the additional supply module. This makes it easy to add more types of semiconductor dies to be mounted, and prevents the size of the mounting apparatus from increasing when the number of types of semiconductor dies to be mounted is increased.
