[0104] The ball mounting steel mesh suction plate 302 is hollow inside, and the upper surface of the ball mounting steel mesh suction plate 302 has a plurality of suction holes for adsorbing the steel mesh. When the ball mounting steel mesh suction plate air port 3021 is vacuumized, the ball mounting steel mesh suction plate 302 adsorbs the steel mesh through the suction holes on the upper surface.

[0105] According to the embodiment of the present application, the wafer chuck air port 3044 is mounted on the second mounting plate 305, and is used to vacuumize the inside of the wafer chuck 304. Specifically, the wafer chuck air port 3044 is mounted on the lower surface of the second mounting plate 305, as shown in FIG. 10. In this embodiment, three wafer chuck air ports 3044 are mounted on the lower surface of the second mounting plate 305, as shown in FIG. 10.

The energized degaussing electromagnet 311 passes through the third opening K3 of the second mounting plate 305 to adsorb the wafer chuck 304, the suction nozzle 309 passes through the third opening K3 of the second mounting plate 305 and the suction nozzle hole 3042 of the wafer chuck 304, and extends to the upper surface of the wafer chuck 304, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 12.

[0110] The working process of the wafer fixing platform for wafer ball mounting includes the following steps:

[0111] Step S1, the suction nozzle 309 adsorbs the wafer J.

[0112] The wafer interface gripper transports the wafer J to above the suction nozzle 309, the suction nozzle 309 draws vacuum through the suction nozzle air port 3091, and the suction nozzle 309 adsorbs the wafer J, as shown in FIG. 12.

[0113] Step S2, the wafer chuck 304 adsorbs the wafer J.

[0114] The energized degaussing electromagnet 311 is energized to eliminate the adsorption of the wafer chuck 304 by the energized degaussing electromagnet 311.

[0115] The second lifting motor 316 is started to drive the second lifting mechanism 315 to drive the second mounting plate 305 and the wafer chuck 304 to move upward along the Z direction to the position where the upper surface of the wafer chuck 304 is flush with the suction nozzle 309. The wafer chuck 304 draws vacuum through the wafer chuck air port 3044, the suction nozzle 309 breaks vacuum, and the wafer chuck 304 adsorbs the wafer J, as shown in FIG. 13.

[0116] The Y-direction linear motor module 2 and the X-direction linear motor module 1 drive the Z-direction lifting and rotating mechanism 3 to move to a working position below the steel mesh G, as shown in FIG. 13.

[0117] In an embodiment, if the wafer J needs to be adjusted in position, the rotary drive motor 318 is started to drive the rotary connecting piece 319 to drive the second bottom plate 306 to rotate around the Z direction relative to the first bottom plate 301, so that the second lifting mechanism 315, the suction nozzle base 308, the energized degaussing electromagnet 311, the suction nozzle 309, the second mounting plate 305 and the wafer chuck 304 on the second bottom plate 306 rotate as a whole around the Z direction, and the position of the wafer chuck 304 is adjusted, so that the position of the wafer J adsorbed by the wafer chuck 304 is adjusted.

[0118] Step S3, the ball mounting steel wire mesh suction plate 302 adsorbs the steel mesh G.

[0119] The first lifting motor 313 is started to drive the first lifting mechanism 312 to drive the first mounting plate 303 and the ball mounting steel wire mesh suction plate 302 to move upward along the Z direction until the upper surface of the ball mounting steel wire mesh suction plate 302 is attached to the lower surface of the steel mesh G. The ball mounting steel wire mesh suction plate 302 is vacuumized through the ball mounting steel wire mesh suction plate air port 3021, and the ball mounting steel wire mesh suction plate 302 adsorbs the steel mesh G, as shown in FIG. 14.

[0120] In step S4, the wafer J is attached to the steel mesh G, and the ball mounting is performed on the wafer J.

[0121] The second lifting motor 316 is started to drive the second lifting mechanism 315 to drive the second mounting plate 305 and the wafer suction disc 304 to move upward along the Z direction until the upper surface of the wafer J adsorbed by the wafer suction disc 304 is attached to the lower surface of the steel mesh G, as shown in FIG. 15. At this time, the plurality of magnet blocks 3041 between the wafer suction disc 304 and the second mounting plate 305 adsorb the steel mesh G, so that the wafer J is more flatly attached to the steel mesh G.

[0122] After the upper surface of the wafer J is attached to the lower surface of the steel mesh G, the solder balls (such as tin balls, copper balls, etc.) are implanted into the upper surface of the wafer J through the apertures of the steel mesh G to perform a ball mounting process on the wafer J.

[0123] In step S5, the next ball mounting is performed.

[0124] The ball mounting steel wire mesh suction plate 302 is broken vacuum, the first lifting motor 313 is started to drive the first lifting mechanism 312 to drive the first mounting plate 303 and the ball mounting steel wire mesh suction plate 302 to move downward along the Z direction; at the same time, the second lifting motor 316 is started to drive the second lifting mechanism 315 to drive the second mounting plate 305 and the wafer suction disc 304 to move downward along the Z direction until the upper surface of the wafer suction disc 304 is flush with the suction nozzle 309, as shown in FIG. 16.

[0125] Then, the Y-direction linear motor module 2 and the X-direction linear motor module 1 drive the Z-direction lifting and rotating mechanism 3 to move to the next station below the steel mesh G.

[0126] The first lifting motor 313 is started to drive the first lifting mechanism 312 to drive the first mounting plate 303 and the ball mounting steel wire mesh suction plate 302 to move upward along the Z direction; at the same time, the second lifting motor 316 is started to drive the second lifting mechanism 315 to drive the second mounting plate 305 and the wafer suction disc 304 to move upward along the Z direction until the upper surface of the wafer J adsorbed by the wafer suction disc 304 is attached to the lower surface of the steel mesh G.

[0127] The ball mounting steel wire mesh suction plate 302 is vacuumized through the ball mounting steel wire mesh suction plate air port 3021, and the ball mounting steel wire mesh suction plate 302 adsorbs the steel mesh G. At this time, the wafer suction plate 304 and the ball mounting steel wire mesh suction plate 302 return to the working state shown in FIG. 15, and the plurality of magnet blocks 3041 between the wafer suction plate 304 and the second mounting plate 305 adsorb the steel mesh G, so that the wafer J is more flatly attached to the steel mesh G.

[0128] After the upper surface of the wafer J is attached to the lower surface of the steel mesh G, the solder balls (such as tin balls, copper balls, etc.) are implanted on the upper surface of the wafer J through the apertures of the steel mesh G to perform a ball mounting process on the wafer J.

[0129] The step S5 is repeated until the ball mounting on the wafer is completed for all stations.

[0130] Step S6, reset.

[0131] After the ball mounting on the wafer is completed for the last station, the ball mounting steel wire mesh suction plate 302 is broken, the first lifting motor 313 is started, the first lifting mechanism 312 drives the first mounting plate 303 and the ball mounting steel wire mesh suction plate 302 to move downward along the Z direction to the initial position.

[0132] At the same time, the second lifting motor 316 is started, the second lifting mechanism 315 drives the second mounting plate 305 and the wafer suction plate 304 to move downward along the Z direction to the initial position, the wafer suction plate 304 is broken, and the suction nozzle 309 is vacuumized through the suction nozzle air port 3091. The suction nozzle 309 adsorbs the wafer J.

[0133] Then, the second lifting motor 316 continues to drive the second lifting mechanism 315 to drive the second mounting plate 305 and the wafer suction plate 304 to move downward along the Z direction to the initial position, and the energized degaussing electromagnet 311 is powered off. The energized degaussing electromagnet 311 adsorbs the wafer suction plate 304.

[0134] Finally, after the wafer interface gripper positions the wafer J, the suction nozzle 309 is broken, and the wafer interface gripper takes away the wafer J after the ball mounting.
