DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a resin curing method and a resin curing device for sealing an element of a transport tape with a resin and heating and curing the sealed resin.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art A conventional method of heating and curing a sealed resin is to directly heat and cure the resin sealed in a transport tape using far-infrared rays as a heating element, or to blow the resin with warm air. The resin was cured by directly heating and curing the resin.

[0003]

However, in the conventional method, the resin is directly heated by far infrared rays or hot air.
Deterioration of the resin called "burn" has occurred on the surface of the resin, and shape deformation of the resin has frequently occurred. In particular, there is a problem that the resin surface is hardened quickly due to direct heating, and when the solvent trapped by the hardened film on the surface evaporates, the hardened film is pushed up, causing a quality defect called "bloating". Was. In addition, since the peripheral portion of the resin is quickly cured by heating, the resin in the peripheral portion cannot go around to the surface of the transport tape, and has a problem that adhesion to the transport tape is poor and peels off.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made to solve the problems in the conventional method, and a resin curing method and a resin curing method capable of improving the adhesion between a resin and a transport tape and reducing the risk of peeling of the resin.
