Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To detect nonadhesion of a ball in a short time, by applying voltage to a wire in a period until cutting a wire from the root of the ball after connecting the ball to a semiconductor chip, and detecting the change of voltage during the period by the existence of nonadhesion of the ball, and judging the existence of ball nonadhesion. SOLUTION: A control circuit 25 inputs a positive or negative threshold which shows the voltage level for judging the nonadhesion into a threshold signal generating circuit 26, and the threshold signal generating circuit 26 inputs a positive or negative threshold signal into a comparison circuit 24. The comparison circuit 24 outputs a set signal S in case that the value of a displacement signal gets over the positive or negative threshold, and when this set signal S is inputted into a self holding circuit 27, the self holding circuit 27 holds a nonadhesion judgment signal Q in ON condition, and this nonadhesion judgment signal Q is inputted into the control circuit 25, and the control circuit 25 outputs an abnormality detection signal U into a bonder. Hereby, this device can detect ball nonadhesion in bump bonding in a short time.

2. Description of the Related Art In general, a bump bonding method is shown in FIG.
This is performed by the steps shown in FIG. First, with the clamper 1 closed, a ball 3 a is formed at the tip of the wire 3 inserted through the capillary 2 by discharging from the discharge electrode 4.
Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 4A, when the clamper 1 is opened, the wire 3 is pulled upward by an appropriate force by a back tension mechanism (not shown). Next, as shown in FIG. 4B, the capillary 2 descends and presses the ball 3a against the surface of the pad electrode 6 of the semiconductor chip 5. Thereafter, the ball 3 a is pressed by the capillary 2 while applying ultrasonic waves by an ultrasonic horn (not shown) holding the capillary 2, deformed and connected to the pad electrode 6.

Next, as shown in FIG. 4 (c), both the capillary 2 and the clamper 1 rise, and the clamper 1 closes while paying out a wire 3 (tail) for forming the next ball 3a. Further, both the capillary 2 and the clamper 1 rise, and as shown in FIG.
It is cut from the base of a. Thereby, the bump 7 is formed. Incidentally, as this kind of bump bonding method, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. Sho 54-2662,

In the case of bump bonding, wire 3
A material softer than a gold wire, such as a solder, is used as the material of the metal. The solder material of the wire 3 is hardly compatible with the material of the surface of the pad electrode 6 of the semiconductor chip 5 (poor bonding).
5 (a) is more likely to occur than the phenomenon of FIG. 5 (b). 5 (a) and 5 (b), the tail 3b is not formed as shown in FIG. 4 (d).
According to the method disclosed in JP-A-35065, it can be detected when the ball 3a shown in FIG. 4A is formed. However, in the bump bonding, the phenomenon of FIG. 5A is more likely to occur than the phenomenon of FIG. 5B as described above. The phenomenon shown in FIG. 5A cannot be immediately detected by the above-described method. Conventionally, there is no method and apparatus for detecting non-bonding of bumps in bump bonding.

The terminal 13 is connected to the common contact C of the switch SW1, and the normally closed contact NC of the switch SW1 is grounded. The normally open contact NO of the switch SW1 is the detector 1
4 and one end of the resistor 15, and the other end of the resistor 15 is selectively connected to two power supplies 16 and 17 by a switch SW <b> 2. The reason why the two power supplies 16 and 17 are provided is that the semiconductor chip 5 has a different polarity (polarity depending on whether the semiconductor chip 5 is forward or backward) because of the diode characteristics between the pad electrode 6 of the semiconductor chip 5 and the ground. ,
The polarity is reversed by the switch SW2 to correspond.

And a resistor (protective resistor) for limiting the amount of current Id flowing into the semiconductor chip 5 in combination with the above. The voltage input to the detector 14 is Vd, and the threshold voltage of the positive voltage and the negative voltage of Vd is Vt.

However, in the bump bonding shown in FIG. 4, the wire 3 is cut from the base of the ball 3a immediately after the ball 3a is connected to the pad electrode 6, that is, there is no looping time. (C)

On the other hand, since the stray capacitance component Cd (see FIG. 1) exists in the circuit connected to the input of the detector 14 shown in FIG. 6, the detection current Id flows even when the non-attachment occurs. At this time, the current amount of the detection current Id gradually becomes zero while the current continues to flow for a certain period of time while charging the stray capacitance component Cd. Conventionally, non-delivery detection cannot be determined unless it is after that. Therefore, in the case of bump bonding, the time limit is severe because there is no wire feeding time unlike wire bonding.
