Description

SPECIFICATION Systems for bonding pellets, for example semiconductor chips, to supports The present invention relates to systems for bonding pellets, for example semiconductor chips, to supports.
The present invention is particularly concerned with the positioning of pellets or small chips, in systems for bonding the pellets to supports, for example the positioning of semiconductor chips for bonding to supports such as lead frames, ceramic packages or stems.
A A semiconductor manufacturing process generally includes a step for mounting and settling a semiconductor element chip (a pellet) such as an IC chip onto a support such as lead frame, a ceramic package or a stem. In that step, it is important that the pellet is accurately mounted at a specified position on the support. Mounting accuracy has a significant effect on the efficiency of a succeeding wire bonding process.
A A conventional automatic pellet bonding system has employed a pellet positioning method such that an intermediate stage is provided between a pellet supply portion and a bonding portion. A pellet is firstly picked up, by a vacuum chuck, from a tray in which a plurality of pellets (semiconductor chips) are arranged. The pellet is then placed on a top surface of the intermediate stage. At this point, the pellet is accurately positioned and oriented at a specified location on the intermediate stage by mechanical means comprising a pair of pawls which push on opposite side edges of the pellet. Finally, the positioned pellet is caught by a die collet which accurately travels to and returns from the specified location on the intermediate stage and a predetermined location on a bonding portion.
Although such a bonding system has been used in practice, the problem of severe damage was acknowledged to occur with this system because the mechanical means comprising a pair of pawls would often break pellets.
In addition, it was desired to handle a variety of sizes of pellets. For this purpose an adjustment of the stroke of the pawls was necessary in order to adapt the system to the different sized pellets, which necessitated troublesome adjustment and caused decreased production yield.
On the other hand, a system has been proposed for orientating a pellet by using an adjustable rotation mechanism attached to the intermediate stage, without using mechanical pawls. In that proposed system, the position of the pellet in X and Y directions has to be adjusted prior to pick up of the pellet by the vacuum chuck. The above system is described in Japanese Patent Publication No.
44-27536.
Another system has been proposed in Japanese Patent Publication No. 49-22588. In this system, an intermediate stage is not used and the pellet is firstly picked up by a die collet. Information concerning the location of the pellet is detected by means of a TV camera and the detected information is applied to a processing unit. Control signals from the processing unit are then applied to means for adjusting X and Y locations of the pellet and rotational pellet position, which means are installed on supporting means of the bonding stage.
However, these proposed systems without mechanical pawls have not been considered to be a reliable, and have not been considered to offer high speed production systems because it proved in one system almost impossible to pick up a pellet with a vacuum chuck without changing the X and Y locations of the pellet and in the other system the installation of means for adjusting X and Y locations and rotational position on the bonding apparatus caused an increase of inertia of the bonding apparatus, which is usually provided with a means for heating the bonding apparatus, thereby increasing mechanical mass in total.
According to the present invention there is provided a system for bonding pellets to supports, comprising:~ a pellet supply stage, providing a supply of pellets to be bonded to supports; a pellet bonding stage, for bonding pellets to supports; an intermediate stage, between the supply and bonding stages, having a table movable in an X-Y plane; means for carrying a pellet from the supply stage to the intermediate stage and placing the pellet on the table; and control means, for controlling the X and Y direction positions and the X-Y plane orientation of the table, to bring a pellet on the table to a desired disposition.
An embodiment of the present invention can provide for positioning of a chip or pellet for bonding to a support without any substantial risk of damage to the pellet.
An embodiment of the present invention can provide for realization of a high speed pellet bonding system capable of adjusting X and Y directions and rotational orientation of a pellet at a centralized stage with lesser mechanical inertia.
An embodiment of the present invention can provide a reliable pellet bonding system capable of accurately locating a pellet at a predetermined disposition.
Reference will now be made, by way of example, to the accompanying drawings, in which: Figure 1A is a schematic, partially crosssectional illustration of an arrangement used in a conventional pellet bonding system; Figure 1B is a schematic plan view of an intermediate stage of the arrangement of Fig.
1A; Figure 2 is a schematic, partially crosssectional illustration of an arrangement used in a pellet bonding system according to the present invention; Figures SA and 3B schematically illustrate relationships between TV scanning areas and chip patterns in a pellet bonding system according to the present invention; and Figures 4A and AB schematically illustrate image signal waveforms obtained by a TV camera in a pellet bonding system according to the present invention.
It is believed to be desirable to describe a conventional pellet bonding system before giving a detailed description of an embodiment of the present invention.
In the conventional system of Fig. 1A, a pellet 1 from among a large number of those prepared and available in a tray 2 in a pellet supply stage or area I is attracted and lifted by a vacuum chuck 7 and carried to an intermediate table 3 provided in an intermediate stage or area II. Then, a pellet 1 in the intermediate stage II is accurately positioned and orientated in a specified location by means of a pair of pawls 4, 4'. Then, a collet 8 which accurately travels between the specified location on said intermediate table 3 and a specified location on a bonding table 5 in a bonding stage or area Ill attracts and lifts the pellet 1 positioned on said intermediate table 3 and carries it onto support 6, which is, for example, a lead frame mounted on the bonding table 5, for the purpose of bonding the pellet 1 to the lead frame 6.
The provision of the intermediate stage II between the pellet supply stage I and bonding stage Ill and positioning of the pellet in the intermediate stage II as explained above has the merit of simplifying the structure of the pellet bonding system as compared with a system wherein positioning is carried out at the pellet supply stage I or at the bonding stage III.
However, in the positioning of a pellet by means of pawls 4, 4' the pellet 1 is positioned at a specified location by being pinched by the-pair of pawls 4, 4' each of which has an end shape opening as indicated in Fig. 1 B and therefore such pawls 4, 4' may cause damage around the pellet 1 when they pinch it.
An embodiment of the present invention will now be explained.
As in the conventional system described above, one pellet 1 from amongst a large number in a tray 2 in a pellet supply stage I as shown in Fig. 2 is attracted by a vacuum chuck 7 and then carried onto an intermediate table 3 provided in an intermediate stage II, as shown in Fig. 2.
At the intermediate stage II, a TV camera 9 is mounted just above an intermediate table 3, and this TV camera 9 picks up an image of pellet 1 which has been carried by said vacuum chuck 7 and placed on the intermediate table 3 and converts the image to a time series video signal for sending to a binary controller 10. The video signal is converted to binary signals of values "0" and ''1'' in the binary controller 10 and then transferred to a central processing unit (CPU) 11, for example an 8-bit microcomputer.
In a memory 12 the CPU 11 previously stores map data relating to a reference position for a pellet in the intermediate area.
The CPU 11 compares the signal sent from the binary controller 10 with the reference position, calculates a difference between the detected position of pellet 1 on the intermediate table 3 and the reference position, and transmits a signal corresponding to such difference to driving units 14, 15, 16 provided at the stage 13 which supports said interme diatetable 3. The driving units 14, 15, 16 of the intermediate table 3 may comprise pulse motors for example, which give displacements of the intermediate table 3 in X, Y and 8 direction (S directions are rotational directions) respectively.
The driving units 14, 1 5, 1 6 for the intermediate table 3, using pulse motors, accurately set the pellet 1 to the reference position by displacing the stage 13 in the X, Y and 8 directions in accordance with a signal generated from said CPU 11.
A preferred method of positioning a pellet to a reference position according to this invention is specifically explained as follows.
As an initial step, to establish a reference position, a first pellet is placed on the intermediate table 3 by hand in the desired reference position for succeeding pellets of the same type which are to be handled automatically.
Such placement of a pellet by hand can be effected with an error of less than about 0.1 (mm), which will not cause any problems in a subsequent bonding process using the collet 8.
The TV camera 9 picks up the image of the first pellet illuminated by a light source 9'.
More specifically, the TV camera 9 has a rectangular projection area, S, that is a data sampling area, as shown in Fig. 3A and successively shoots images of areas I and II in which opposing two corners N1 and N2 of the first pellet are located respectively. The projection area S is scanned in 256 scanning lines in the X direction in the TV camera 9. The output signal or video signal of the TV camera has waveforms as shown in Figs. 4A and 4B.
Fig. 4A shows a waveform which is obtained in case in which a scanning line does not run across the pellet 1 and Fig. 4B corresponds to a case in which a scanning line does cross the pellet 1.
A low level part 1 a which appears in the initial portion of each wave form is a syn chronizing signal component and the high level part 1 b is the image signal component.
As shown in Figs. 4A and 4B, the generally high level image signal part is of a relatively lower level when a scanning spot scanning a line is not on the pellet and a relatively higher level when the scanning spot is on the pellet.
The image signal is supplied to the binary controller 10 and converted to binary signals indicating "high" or "low" by comparison of the level thereof with a reference voltage 1 s.
The comparison of the image signal level and the reference voltage 1 s may be effected in the binary controller 10 by means of a slicing circuit which is well known in the art. The reference voltage is set at 1.0 (volt) for example. An image signal level below the reference voltage is converted to, for example, zero (volt) and an image signal level above the reference voltage is converted to 5.0 (volt), by an amplifier.
The comparison output signal of the binary controller 10 is supplied to CPU 11. A high (5 volt) level of this output signal represents 1"; a low level (zero volt) represents "0" in the CPU 11. In this CPU 11, the output signal of the binary controller 10 is sampled or divided into 256 binary signals per one scanning line with a constant time interval between samples or divisions thereby to produce a series of 256 bit signals corresponding to one scanning line. Thus, 256 x 256 bit signals are obtained which represent the area I and all of these signals are transferred to and stored in memory 12. The same procedures are followed in respect of area II after the intermediate table has been moved in X and Y directions by predetermined distances by the pulse motors 14 and 15 which are controlled by the CPU 11.By means of the above procedures, reference position data is obtained and stored in the memory 12. At this stage, reference co-ordinates for the corners N, and N2 are calculated by the CPU 11 on the basis of the position data stored in the memory 12. The thus obtained co-ordinate data (X1, Y,) and (X2, Y2) is again transferred to and stored in the memory 12 and preparation operations are completed.
When actual bonding processes are being conducted, automatic positioning of pellets on the intermediate table 3 is carried out in the following manner. A pellet is transferred from the tray 2 onto the intermediate table 3 by the vacuum chuck 7. Position data relating to the position of the pellet is produced in the same manner as mentioned above for the reference" pellet by the TV camera 9, binary controller 10 and the CPU 11.
Assuming here that the pellet 1 n to be handled automatically is positioned as shown in Fig. 3B so that one of opposing N3, N4 corners has co-ordinates (X3, Y3) and the other of those corners has co-ordinates (X4, Y4), these co-ordinates are obtained at this stage by the CPU on the basis of the abovementioned position data stored in the memory 12.
Thereafter, the differences between the coordinates (X1, Y,) and (X3, Y3) and between coordinates (X2, Y2) and (X4, Y4) are calculated, and thus the displacements of the corners N3 and N4 in relation to reference positions therefor are obtained. The angular displacement of the pellet 1 n is then obtained through a calculation of a tangent based on the difference between the displacements of the corners N3 and N4. The CPU 11 provides to the pulse motor 16 electric pulses corresponding to the angular displacement to rotate the intermediate table 3 which is driven by the pulse motor through a belt 17 (Fig. 2).
After angular displacement has been corrected as explained above, pellet position data is again produced in the same manner as mentioned above. And co-ordinates of one of the two opposing corners N3, N4 are similarly obtained.
These co-ordinates are compared with those of the corresponding corner of the reference pellet thereby to calculate displacements of the pellet in X and Y directions. The CPU 11 provides electric pulses corresponding to the displacements along X and Y directions to the pulse motors 14 and 15 respectively. The intermediate stage is driven along X and Y directions by the pulse motors 14 and 15 to correct the displacement, and thus the positioning of the pellet is completed.
In such an embodiment of this invention, damage to the pellet is not caused since operations including detection and correction of position of pellet 1 placed on the intermediate table 3 are performed by means of noncontact processes.
The pellet 1 n accurately positioned in the intermediate area II as explained above is carried to the bonding area Ill by the collet 8 and then bonded onto a support 6. The mechanism used may be the same as the conventional system described above. In other words, a pellet 1 n is attracted and lifted by the collet 8 mounted to the bonding head, the collect travels to and from the reference position on intermediate stage 3 and a specified position on the bonding table 5 provided in the bonding area Ill. The pellet is carried onto a support 6 such as lead frame which is accurately positioned on said bonding table 5.
Bonding to said lead frame is thus carried out.
As explained above, a pellet bonding system embodying this invention provides noncontact detection and correction of pellet position. Therefore, positioning can be effected accurately without damage to pellets and moreover the reference position and the dimensions of pellets to be handled can be changed accurately and quickly by means of the reference position setter, thus providing for easy change of type of pellet to be bonded and increasing the flexibility of a pellet bond ing system.
This invention is not limited only to the embodiment described above but can also be employed in a variety of modified forms. For example, any known optical means such as photo-sensor can be used in place of a TV camera for detection of pellet position.
In addition, a magnetic tape or floppy disc can be used in place of memory 12 for setting the reference position for pellets. Moreover, it is also possible to observe the reference position and detecting position of pellets by providing a monitor TV, which is not used in above embodiment.
Moreover, instead of having a plurality of pellets, for example semiconductor chips, aligned in a matrix configuration in a teay 2, it is possible to place semiconductor chips on a flexible plastic film.
In such a case, a scribed semiconductor wafer is initially bonded to the flexible plastic film. Then the wafer is cracked and the flexible plastic film is enlarged or distended thereby dividing the wafer into a plurality of chips arrayed on the film. The film with chips may be used in place of the tray 2 carrying the chips.
Moreover#, the abovementioned embodiment requires or assumes that there is an accurately positioned lead frame providing the support 6.
If the lead frame is not accurately positioned, the positional variation from an ideal position (corresponding to the reference position on the intermediate stage) can be allowed for by providing means for detecting the position of the lead frame and feedback means connected to the stage 1 3 through the CPU 11 (to adjust the position of the pellet on the intermediate stage to take into account the true position of the lead frame).
iln a system for bonding a semiconductor chip on a supporting means, comprised of a chip supplying portion, an intermediate table and a chip bonding portion, a centralized control means is provided for adjusting X and Y directions and rotational orientation of the chip with respect to predetermined location of the chip to be bonded at the chip bonding portion.
