Description

用于导线键合机的自动线尾调节系统
技术领域
本发明涉及导线键合机,更具体地涉及导线键合机的导线馈送系统。
背景技术
在半导体装配和封装过程中,导线键合机被用来在半导体芯片上的电性接触盘(contact pads)和衬底之间,或者在不同半导体芯片的电性接触盘之间形成电性导线连接。导线从包含有键合导线的线圈(wire spool)处被馈送至键合工具,如尖管(capillary),以在该键合工具处完成导线键合。最广泛使用的导线材料为金、铜或铝。电性接触盘可能包括位于半导体芯片上的和位于互连衬底上的喷涂有金属的键合区域。
用于将导线键合或者焊接至连接盘的通用方法是通过组合热能、压力和/或超声波能量。它是一个固态的焊接方法,其中两种金属材料(导线和连接盘表面)进入了密切接触。一旦这些表面进入了密切接触,那么电子共享或者原子的相互扩散将会发生,而导致导线键合形成。键合力能够导致材料形变、污染层的破裂和表面粗糙度的平滑,这可能通过应用超声波能量而得以强化。热量能够加速原子之间的相互扩散,从而形成导线键合。
一种类型的导线键合形成是使用球形导线键合(ball wire bond:球焊)。该方法包括在一段由尖管所固定的导线上熔融球形的导线材料,其被降低并焊接到第一键合位置。其后,尖管拉出一段线弧(loop),然后使用通常为月牙形的键合,通常谓之为锲形导线键合(wedge wire bond:锲焊)将导线连接到第二键合位置。再后,另一个焊球被再次形成以进行后续的第一球形导线键合。目前,金或铜球键合是最为广泛使用的键合方法。其优点是:一旦球形导线键合被形成在器件的连接盘上,那么导线在其上没有应力的情形下可以在任一方向上移动,这一点非常有助于自动导线键合。
在球形键合操作过程中,第二键合是在第二键合位置以锲形导线键合的形成出现。在锲形形成以后,当导线仍然连接在锲形导线键合时,键合头将会向上移动,以致于在尖管和锲形导线键合块之间一段导线被送出(paid out)。键合头将会提升至线尾高度位置,在那里当键合头移动至电子火焰熄灭 (Electronic Flame-Off:EFO)水平面时导线键合装置的导线夹具将会闭合。在导线夹具闭合时的进一步向上移动过程中,导线将会在锲形导线键合位置处断开,藉此形成自由地伸展在尖管之外的线尾(wire tail)。EFO设备将会产生火花以将线尾熔融而产生熔融的焊球,其被用于形成下一个球形导线键合。
线尾必须具有足够的长度,以便为下一次球形键合形成合适的熔融的焊球。然而,由于各种原因,线尾可能太短或者缺少。例如,如果用于锲形形成的键合参数不是良好地优化,或者被键合的材料被污染了,那么导线可能较早地从锲形导线键合处断开。然后导线可能不期望地从导线路径或者尖管自身上突然飞出。如果存在较短的线尾或者根本上不存在线尾,那么熔融的焊球不可能被恰当地形成以完成下一个球形键合。如果该装置检测到合适的线尾没有被形成,表明了一个操作错误,那么机器将会停止,并且由人工操作员手动干预通常被需要以致于通过尖管重新进给键合导线。所以,在线尾形成中这种错误导致了不必要的机器停车时间,并降低了生产率。
发明内容
所以,本发明的目的在于寻求提供一种在导线键合操作过程中防止延伸自尖管的线尾不足和/或使其恢复的方法,以便于减少人工干预的操作并提高导线键合装置的生产率。
本发明相关联的目的在于寻求提供一种测量延伸自尖管的线尾的方法,以保证该线尾具有合适的长度而有助于实施后续的导线键合操作。
因此,本发明提供一种用于形成导线互连的导线键合方法,其包括锲形导线键合,该方法包含有以下步骤:使用尖管以形成锲形导线键合;使用设置在导线夹具和尖管上方的导线固定设备以在导线夹具打开和没有夹持在导线上的同时锁固该导线;在远离锲形导线键合和朝向导线固定设备的方向上相对于导线提升导线夹具和尖管,以便于自该尖管送出一段导线;在尖管的预定高度处,闭合导线夹具以夹持在导线上;其后移动尖管和导线夹具更进一步远离锲形导线键合,而引起导线自该锲形导线键合处断开,以致于形成从尖管延伸的、具有期望长度的线尾。

具体实施方式
图1所示为本发明较佳实施例所述的导线键合装置10的立体示意图。诸如金线或铜线之类的键合导线12从线圈(图中未示)处被馈送进入气动设备14,该气动设备14被操作来施加向上的或者向下的垂直真空吸附力,以促使键合导线12在这些方向上移动。导线固定设备16,其可以是导线夹具的形式,设置在该气动设备14的下方并被操作来锁固键合导线12和控制键合导线12沿着导线进给路径的移动。导线固定设备16也可以包括螺线管激励机构、气动机构或者可以实现在导线键合期间提供固定力以将导线固定定位的功能的任何其他机构。
导线夹具18设置在导线固定设备16的下方,以当键合导线12的相对移动将被限制或者被馈送的键合导线的移动将被控制时夹持在该键合导线12上。导线固定设备16与导线夹具18单独地被操作。然后在导线夹具18的下方,该键合导线12通过尖管20。尖管20通常设置在换能器角体22的一端。导线键合在尖管20的底端端部进行。通常,球形导线键合和锲形导线键合可以通过该尖管20形成。
电子火焰熄灭(“EFO”)打火棒24相邻于尖管20的底端设置,以提供电火花将键合导线12的线尾端部熔融,而实现导线键合的目的。键合导线12的线尾端部也称之为线尾。熔融的键合导线12是以焊球的形式存在,然后该焊球通过尖管20被键合在电子器件26上,以产生导线互连的第一键合。该第一键合较合适地为球形导线键合。其后,尖管20延伸通过键合导线12以形成自第一键合延伸的线弧。然后,使用尖管20在第二键合位置形成第二键合,其以锲形导线键合的形式存在,以在第一键合位置和第二键合位置之间完成导线互连。
图2所示为表明一段键合导线12如何可能被控制以减少出现短线尾可能性的示意图。在第二键合位置,在产生锲形导线键合时,尖管20与电子器件26相接触。在这个时刻,导线固定设备16闭合以锁固键合导线12,并且导线夹具18打开以便于其不再夹持于键合导线12上。在锲形导线键合已经产生之后,尖管20被提升,并连同导线夹具18相对于键合导线12在沿着背离锲形导线键合和朝向导线固定设备16的方向向上移动,以在导线仍然连接于锲形导线键合块时距离锲形导线键合块送出一段导线。这个动作延长了一段足够长度的键合导线12以产生线尾。
当尖管20和导线夹具18正向上移动以从尖管20处送出导线时,导线固定设备16应该夹持在键合导线12上以锁固该键合导线12并控制其位置,以便于在键合导线12过早地从锲形键合块处断开的情形下,键合导线12不会偏离导线进给路径。键合导线位置的所述控制会减少键合导线12偏离导线进给路径的可能性,并避免不必要的机器停车。
在尖管20已经提升到一个预定高度和足够的线尾长度被形成之后,导线夹具18闭合在键合导线12上而导线固定设备16现在能够被打开。一旦尖管20和导线夹具18进一步向上移动离开锲形导线键合,那么具有期望长度的线尾从电子器件26上的锲形导线键合处断开。现在,延伸自尖管20的、具有期望长度的线尾准备被EFO设备24熔融,以形成焊球而便于产生下一个球形导线键合。
图3所示为图1导线键合装置10的侧视图,其表示了根据本发明较佳实施例所述的线尾长度测量系统。当短线尾被发现时,线尾长度测量是非常有用的,导线键合装置10需要自动地确定键合导线12送出多少,以便于获得足够长度的线尾,而在没有操作员干预的情形下继续进行导线键合操作。
接触检测设备28和导线键合装置10联合使用以检测线尾的长度。当可能较短的线尾或缺失的线尾被系统发现时,通常在导线键合装置10检测到键合导线12已经较早地从第二或锲形键合处断开时,保留的线尾的长度应该得以被确定。为此,接触检测设备28的一个电极电性连接至键合导线12,而接触检测设备28的另一个电极电性连接至电子器件26或某个其他电性导电表面。可供选择地,任何其他合适的电气传感器可以分别电性连接至键合导线12和电性导电表面,以检测键合导线12和电性导电表面之间的接触。这些连接形成了一个电路回路。当键合导线12不与电子器件26或某个其他电性导电表面接触时,所述的电路回路是断开的,而当键合导线12与它们相接触时,所述的电路回路是闭合的。
在这个位置,键合导线12的线尾局部的一部分可以自尖管20的端部自由地悬浮,以便于接触检测设备28的电路回路是断开的。然后,固定有键合导线12的尖管20设置在预定的高度处,并在尖管20的垂直位置或键合头的其他合适部分正被监控时朝向电子器件26逐渐降低。尖管20被降低一直到键合导线12首先接触电子器件26或其他电性导电表面,于是接触检测设备28的电路回路将会是闭合的。在这个位置,尖管20的垂直位置或键合头上的其他相对位置被标注。由于电子器件26或其他电性导电表面的高度是公知的,所以从尖管20的端部凸伸出的键合导线12的长度能够得以被确定。
一旦确定了凸伸的键合导线12的长度,那么系统能够计算键合导线需要被送出(或缩回)的附加长度,以便于获得期望的线尾长度而在没有操作员干预的情形下继续进一步的键合操作。在期望的线尾长度已经获得之后,或者如果线尾长度是在预定的范围以内,源自EFO设备24的火花将线尾的端部熔融,以产生熔融的焊球而便于进行后续的导线键合。
在某些实例中,尽管导线夹具18相对于键合导线12操控移动,但键合导线12可能被阻滞粘附于尖管20以致于其不能被进一步送出。图4所示为图1导线键合装置的侧视图,其表示了释放一段粘附在尖管20上,通常是在尖管20的端部的导线的第一方法。在这个第一方法中,尖管20的端部相邻于EFO设备24移动。在键合导线12上,一个或多个火花30然后从EFO设备24处产生,以便于熔融粘附在尖管20的端部的键合导线12的局部。在键合导线12熔融之后,其不再粘附并可以自尖管20处离开,以致于键合导线12可以被送出,而导线键合操作可以继续。
图5所示为释放一段粘附在尖管20上的导线的第二方法的示意图。在这个方法中,以球形导线键合块形式存在的凸点(bump ball)32已经通过将其预键合在名义区域或表面上而被预形成,其可能被设置在电子器件26或某个其他表面的不被使用的局部上。如果可以确定键合导线12是粘附于尖管20的端部,那么尖管20朝向凸点32带动键合导线12,并且尖管20设置在凸点32的顶部。然后,尖管20设法键合和将粘附的键合导线12安装在凸点32上,如通过超声波振动使用刷洗动作(scrubbing action)的方式,以致于粘附的导线自尖管20处分离。
当键合导线12的端部仍然粘着于凸点32上时,在导线夹具18打开以生成一个新的线尾的同时,尖管20被提升。一旦足够长度的线尾被获得时,导线夹具18被闭合。一旦尖管20和导线夹具18进一步被提升,线尾从凸点32处断开,而一个新的具有期望长度的线尾将会可用于进一步的键合操作。
图6所示为将键合导线12送出至合适的线尾长度以便于后续的导线键合操作的示意图。一旦线尾的长度已经确定,导线键合装置10将会知道键合导线12需要被送出的数量以便于实现所期望的长度。为了送出键合导线12,在导线固定设备16打开和键合导线12从被导线固定设备16锁固中释放的同时,导线夹具18将会首先夹持在键合导线12上。导线夹具18然后将会沿着背离导线固定设备16和朝向尖管20的方向向下拉引键合导线12以便于更多的键合导线12自线圈处被馈送。其后,导线固定设备16在键合导线12上闭合以防止键合导线12移动,而导线夹具18打开。导线夹具18然后将会朝向导线固定设备16向上移动以准备下一次的拉引动作。在导线夹具18相对于键合导线12已经被提升之后,其再次在键合导线12上闭合,然后导线固定设备16打开以将键合导线12从被锁固中释放。导线夹具18再次背离导线固定设备16和朝向尖管20向下拉引键合导线12直到达到正确的线尾长度。如果没有达到,可以再次重复循环以送出更多的键合导线12。
图7所示为在正确的线尾长度不能被合适地送出的情形下,一个新的线尾如何可能被产生的示意图。在调节线尾长度的多次努力已经完成之后,正确的线尾长度可能仍然没有实现,或者线尾的形状可能由于产生来将粘附的键合导线12自尖管20处分离的火花30而变形。如果如此,那么可能有必要移离有缺陷的线尾并且形成新的线尾以保证键合操作的平滑延续。在这种情形下,可能产生名义上的键合。
首先将尖管20移动至名义区域,其可能位于电子器件26或某个其他表面的未被使用的局部。EFO设备24产生火花以熔融线尾和形成熔融的焊球。然后,第一、球形导线键合产生于该名义区域。其后,尖管20向上移动,并朝向第二键合位置延伸键合导线12以产生第二、锲形导线键合。在该过程中,线弧34被形成。在线弧34被形成之后,键合导线12从锲形键合处断开,并形成一个新的自尖管20处延伸的具有期望长度的线尾。然后,导线键合操作能够更为流畅地继续。
可供选择地,代替形成线弧34,凸点32可以被形成,并且在键合导线12已经从凸点32处延伸之后,键合导线12能够立即自凸点32处断开,以形成一个新的自尖管20处延伸的具有期望长度的线尾,如图5所示。以这种方式,能够节约键合时间,或者有时,使得分离粘着的导线更为容易。但是,在这种情形下,凸点必须键合得足够坚固,以致于当键合导线12正被拉引以从球形导线键合块处断开时,它不会自名义区域移动。
此处描述的本发明在所具体描述的内容基础上很容易产生变化、修正和/或补充,可以理解的是所有这些变化、修正和/或补充都包括在本发明的上述描述的精神和范围内。
