Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、横振動方式の超音波ホーンを使用し、例えば、集積回路のベアチップのバンプを直接プリント基板のランド部に超音波で接合する超音波接合装置に関し、特に、超音波ホーンの保持構造を改良した超音波接合装置に関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来の超音波接合装置は、図6および図7に示すように、超音波の予め定めた少なくとも周波数の1波長の長さを有し、この周波数における共振時に、少なくとも両端および中央に、長手方向へ3つの最大振動振幅点を有する超音波ホーン50と、この超音波ホーン50の中央の最大振動振幅点に超音波ホーンの外側に突出し被接合部材W1、W2と係合する係合用チップ51と、超音波ホーン50の両端の最大振動振幅点に同軸上に連結され、超音波の周波数の半波調の長さを有し、その両端に最大振動振幅点を、外部中央にノーダルポイント(波長の振動振幅のゼロ点)Pn、Pnを有するブースタ52、53と、これらブースタ52、53の一方に同軸上に連結された超音波振動子54と、各ブースタ52、53における外部ノーダルポイントPn、Pnを機械的なクランプ手段でクランプした支持部材55R、55Lと、これらの支持部材55R、55Lと被接合部材W1、W2を載置した受台56とを相対的に移動せしめて被接合部材W1、W2に係合用チップ51を加圧せしめる加圧手段とを備えている。
【0003】
支持部材55R、55Lには段付穴57R、57Lが形成されていると共に、この段付穴57R、57Lの大径部の内周面には雌ねじ58、58が形成されている。そして、支持部材52、53の段付穴57R、57Lにブースタ52、53を挿入し、外周面に雄ねじ59、59が形成された締付部材60R、60Lを螺合して締付けることにより、ブースタ52、53の凸部52F、53Fが支持部材55R、55Lに強固にクランプされている。
【0004】
ここで、ブースタ52、53が支持された支持部材55R、55Lを加圧手段で振動方向と直交した方向へ移動させて超音波ホーン50に配設された係合用チップ51を被接合部材W1、W2に接触させると共に、加圧しながら加振して超音波接合が行なわれる。この時、超音波ホーン50を挟持する各ブースタ52、53は、ノーダルポイントPn、Pnで支持部材55R、55Lに機械的に強固に連結されているから、接合時に被接合部材W1、W2と超音波ホーン50の付着が抑制される。したがって、超音波ホーン50の寿命が伸び、超音波のエネルギーロスが低減される(例えば、特許文献1参照。)。

【0006】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかしながら、こうした従来の超音波接合装置では、予め定めた超音波の周波数における1波長の長さを有する超音波ホーン50を、超音波の周波数の半波調の長さを有する一対のブースタ52、53で挟持し、これら各ブースタ52、53におけるノーダルポイントPn、Pnで支持部材55R、55Lに対して機械的に連結しているから、超音波振動子54で加振する振動体(超音波ホーン50とブースタ52、53)は、予め定めた超音波の周波数の少なくとも2波長の長さとなる。これでは振動体の重量が嵩み、ひいてはこの振動体を含む可動体の重量が嵩んで位置決め精度が低下すると共に、位置決め制御に時間がかかり、接合するための作業時間を短縮してチップ部品を低コスト化するには限界があった。
【0007】
本発明は、このような事情に鑑みてなされたもので、超音波振動を利用した半導体部品等の超音波接合装置において、超音波ホーンを含む振動体の重量を低減し、位置決め精度を向上させると共に、位置決め制御を容易にして接合作業時間を抑制した超音波接合装置を提供することを目的としている。
【0008】
【課題を解決するための手段】
係る目的を達成すべく、本発明のうち請求項1に記載の発明は、横振動方式の超音波ホーンを利用して電子部品に水平方向に超音波振動を付与することで溶融接合し実装する超音波接合装置において、超音波の周波数の1波長分の長さに予め設定され、その両端部および長手方向中央部に最大振動振幅点を有する超音波ホーンと、この超音波ホーンの長手方向中央の最大振動振幅点に設けられた接合作用部と、前記超音波ホーンの一端部に同軸上に連結され、当該超音波ホーンを横振動させる超音波振動子と、前記超音波ホーンの2つのノーダルポイントを固定ボルトを介して着脱自在に固定した支持部材と、前記超音波ホーンを加圧する加圧手段と、を備えている。
【0009】
このように、例えば、チップ部品等の電子部品のバンプに相手部品となる回路基板側のランド部に対して水平方向の超音波振動を付与することで溶融接合し実装する超音波接合において、超音波ホーンの長手方向中央の最大振動振幅点を加圧すると共に、超音波ホーンの2つのノーダルポイントを、固定ボルトを介して支持部材に着脱自在に固定したので、従来のような半波長分の長さをもつ一対のブースタは不要となり、超音波振動子で加振する振動体は、実質的に1波長分の長さの超音波ホーンのみとなり、振動体の重量が格段に低減されるので、超音波のエネルギーロスを抑制することができる。さらに、従来、チップ部品が回路基板に衝突してダメージを与えないように、超音波ホーンを下降させて両者が接触する寸前で、下降速度を減速させる必要があったが、超音波ホーンを含む振動体の重量が低減されたことにより、こうした位置決め制御が容易となり接合作業時間を短縮することができる。
【0010】
また、本発明のうち請求項2に記載の発明は、横振動方式の超音波ホーンを利用して電子部品に水平方向の超音波振動を付与することで溶融接合し実装する超音波接合装置において、超音波の周波数の1波長分の長さに予め設定され、その両端部および長手方向中央部に最大振動振幅点を有する超音波ホーンと、この超音波ホーンの長手方向中央の最大振動振幅点に設けられた接合作用部と、この接合作用部と相対する上面に固着された摺動部と、前記超音波ホーンの一端部に同軸上に連結され、当該超音波ホーンを横振動させる超音波振動子と、前記超音波ホーンの2つのノーダルポイントを固定ボルトを介して着脱自在に固定した支持部材とを備え、前記摺動部を摩擦係数の小さい部材で構成し、前記超音波ホーンの加圧受け部とした。
【0011】
このように、前記摺動部を摩擦係数の小さい部材で構成し、前記超音波ホーンの加圧受け部とすることにより、接合性を高め、効果的に接合作業を行うことができる。
【0012】
好ましくは、請求項3に記載の発明のように、前記加圧手段は、静圧軸受を介してガイドバーで軸方向移動自在に案内されたZステージと、このZステージを進退自在に位置決めするZスライドとを備え、このZスライドにモータを装着し、このモータの回転をボールねじによって前記Zステージを直線運動に変換するようにすれば、Zステージのスティックスリップを可及的に抑制することができ、超音波ホーンのZ軸制御精度が向上すると共に、ボールねじの直線運動をスムーズに行うことができ、位置決め精度を格段に向上させることができる。
【0013】
また、請求項4に記載の発明は、前記超音波ホーンの長手方向中央部の最大振動振幅点で、その上面に突出した摺動部を設けると共に、前記Zステージの下端部にドグを突設し、このドグに対峙する圧力検出器を介して前記摺動部を加圧したので、加圧力の精度を向上させると共に、接合強度を低下させることなく安定した超音波接合を行うことができ、接合部の品質向上を図ることができる。
【0014】
また、請求項5に記載の発明は、前記支持部材は、静圧軸受を介して前記ガイドバーで軸方向移動自在に案内されているので、超音波ホーンを傾き等なく、安定して精度良く支持することができ、加圧力の精度を向上させる。
【0015】
好ましくは、請求項6に記載の発明のように、前記支持部材が前記Zステージに対してばねで吊下げられていれば、支持部材等の重量が超音波ホーンにかかることはなく、超音波ホーンを含む振動体の重量をさらに低減することができるので、位置決め制御が容易となり接合作業時間を短縮することができる。
【0016】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明の実施形態を図面に基いて詳細に説明する。図1は、本発明に係る超音波接合装置の実施形態を示す概略図である。本実施形態では、プリント基板15にベアチップ(半導体チップ)14を実装するフリップチップボンダーを例として説明する。このフリップチップボンダー1は、基台上に配設されたY1スライド2、このY1スライド2に載置されたX1スライド3、このX1スライド3に設けられた基板ステージ4、Y2スライド5とX2スライド6とで支持されたベアチップ用カメラ7、Y3スライド8で支持されたボンディングコレット9、X3スライド10、Zスライド11で支持された超音波ホーン12、ベアチップ位置決めステージ13、および図示しないトレーステージと制御用コンピュータを備えている。トレーステージは上下動自在に配設され、ベアチップ14がその電極形成面を上に向けて多数収容されている。
【0017】
Y1スライド2、X1スライド3は、2つのACサーボモータの回転をボールねじ機構(図示せず)で直線方向に変換し、水平面内で直交する2方向に移動可能である。X1スライド3上には基板ステージ4が設けられ、図示しない移載手段によりプリント基板15が1枚ずつ移載される。移載されたプリント基板15は、基板ステージ4上で反りや歪みが矯正され、図示しないヒータにて予加熱される。
【0018】
ベアチップ用カメラ7は、例えばCCDカメラ等の上下2視野小型カメラからなり、基板ステージ4の上方で進退自在に配設されている。ベアチップ14をプリント基板15の手前でベアチップ位置決めステージ13に表裏を反転させて降ろし、Y3スライド8とX3スライド10で位置決めした後に、Y3スライド8に設けられたボンディングコレット9でベアチップ14を保持してプリント基板15上に載置する。このボンディングコレット9は、ベアチップ14をエアで吸着保持する吸着ノズル9aを有し、ベアチップ14の形状やサイズに応じて適宜交換自在となっている。Y2スライド5、X2スライド6、Y3スライド8、X3スライド10は、それぞれ2つのACサーボモータの回転をボールねじ機構(図示せず)で直線方向に変換し、水平面内で直交する2方向に移動可能である。
【0019】
基板ステージ4上に位置決めされたプリント基板15と、このプリント基板15に位置決めされたベアチップ14の上方に超音波ホーン12がZスライド11に支持されて下降し、所定の位置で停止する。この超音波ホーン12の先端部に、ヘッド回転中心と同軸芯になるようにバキューム孔(図示せず)を形成し、ベアチップ14を吸着保持する。バキューム孔はここで、キーボード、CRTを備えた制御用コンピュータは、このCRTの表示画面を見ながらキーボードから入力されるベアチップ14の種類等の情報パラメータと、その制御用コンピュータに内蔵されたプログラムにしたがって、フリップチップボンダー1の各部の動作を制御する。また、ベアチップ用カメラ7の撮影画像を画像処理し、その結果からボンディングコレット9で移送中のベアチップ14とプリント基板15との相対位置を確認する。
【0020】
図2は、本発明に係るフリップチップボンダー1におけるZスライドの実施形態を示す一部を断面した正面図である。このZスライド11は、ACサーボモータ16と、このモータ16のモータ軸16aにカップリング17を介して連結されたボールねじ軸18aと、このボールねじ軸18aに外嵌されたナット18bと、ナット18bを固着するZステージ19とを備えている。ボールねじ軸18aの外周面およびナット18bの内周面には螺旋状のねじ溝(図示せず)が形成され、これらねじ溝で形成されるボール転走路に多数のボール(図示せず)を転動自在に収容した、所謂ボールねじ18を構成している。このボールねじ18によってモータ16の回転をZ軸方向の直線運動に変換している。
【0021】
ボールねじ軸18aは、ハウジング20に対して転がり軸受21を介して回転自在に、かつ軸方向移動不可に支承されている。一方、ナット18bはZステージ19に固着され、回転不可に、かつ軸方向移動自在に配設されている。
【0022】
Zステージ19は後述する静圧軸受24を介して一対のガイドバー25に対して軸方向移動自在に支持されている。このZステージ19の下端部には、支持部材26が配設されている。この支持部材26は、静圧軸受24を介して一対のガイドバー25に対して軸方向移動自在に支持されている。これにより、超音波ホーン12を傾き等なく、安定して精度良く支持することができ、加圧力の精度を向上させることができる。
【0023】
超音波ホーン12はこの支持部材26に脱着可能に装着され、支持部材26は、一対のコイルばね27によりZステージ19に吊下げられている。したがって、支持部材26の自重はキャンセルされ、超音波振動子32で加振する振動体は、実質的に超音波ホーン12のみとなり、振動体の重量が格段に低減される。
【0024】
Zステージ19の下端部にはドグ28が突設され、このドグ28に対峙してロードセル29が配設されている。このロードセル29によって、超音波ホーン12の加圧力を検出することができる。そして、このロードセル29の出力信号に基き荷重制御が行なわれる。
【0025】
超音波ホーン12は矩形断面に形成され、その両端部および長手方向中央部に最大振動振幅点を有し、両端から略1/4の内部の点にノーダルポイントPnを有すると共に、超音波の周波数の1波長分の長さに予め設定されている(図4参照)。また、超音波ホーン12は、その中央部の最大振動振幅点で、上面に突出した摺動部12a、下面に突出した接合作用部12bを有している。そして、前述したドグ28に対峙する圧力検出器29を介して摺動部12a、すなわち超音波ホーン12の長手方向中央部を加圧する。これにより、加圧力の精度を向上させると共に、接合強度を低下させることなく安定した超音波接合を行うことができ、接合部の品質向上を図ることができる。なお、摺動部12aおよび接合作用部12bの少なくとも表面は、超硬合金や超硬材をバインダとするダイヤ合金等の耐摩耗性に富み、摩擦係数の小さい材質で形成されている。これにより、耐久性を向上させると共に、接合性を向上させてことができる。また、接合作用部12bにはベアチップ14を吸着するための吸引孔(図示せず)が形成されている。
【0026】
超音波ホーン12は一対の固定ボルト30を介して支持部材26に締結されているが、図3に示すように、その固定部はノーダルポイントPnに設定されている。この超音波ホーン12の内部のノーダルポイントPn位置には上下方向に固定ボルト30の外径より大径に挿入孔31形成されている。この挿入孔31の中央、すなわち、超音波ホーン12の断面中央のノーダルポイントPnには雌ねじ31aが形成され、この雌ねじ31に固定ボルト30を螺合することにより、超音波ホーン12は着脱可能に支持部材26に締結することができる。なお、雌ねじ31に変え、内部のノーダルポイントPnに固定ボルト30を嵌挿し、固定ナット(図示せず)で締結しても良い。ここで、超音波ホーン12の材質としては、アルミ合金、黄銅、ステンレス鋼、チタン合金等を例示することができる。
【0027】
超音波ホーン12の一端部には同軸上に超音波振動子32が連結されている。この超音波振動子32は、図示しない超音波発生器より電力が供給され、所定の周波数からなる縦波の超音波を発生して出力する電気エネルギーを機械エネルギーに変換する圧電素子あるいは磁歪素子等のようなエネルギー変換器である。前述したように、超音波ホーン12のノーダルポイントPnを固定ボルト30を介して支持部材26に固定し、超音波ホーン12の接合作用部12bにベアチップ14を吸着した状態で、超音波ホーン12の長手方向に超音波振動を付与すると共に、モータ16を駆動させてボールねじ18を介してZステージ19を下降させて超音波ホーン12を下方に移動させる。すると、受台33上に載置されたプリント基板15とベアチップ14とが接触し、両者が加圧される。このように、プリント基板15とベアチップ14を加圧させながら超音波振動を付与することにより、接触面の酸化膜が排除されて活性化した金属面が露出し、摩擦による境界部での局部温度上昇が加わって、活性原子間の距離が近付き金属接合が行なわれる。
【0028】
図5は静圧軸受24の実施形態を示す断面斜視図である。この静圧軸受24は、多孔質燒結合金からなる軸受部36と、この軸受部36に外嵌されたバックメタル37とから構成されている。このバックメタル37の内周面には、環状の吸気溝37aが形成され、この吸気溝37aを連通する吸気室37bを通して吸気口37cに開口している。吸気口37cは図示しない吸気管を介してエア供給源に連通している。
【0029】
軸受部36は、銅系の燒結金属と黒鉛等の固体潤滑材およびこれらを結合させるバインダーからなり、所定の圧力で金型内で成形し、その後熱処理されている。粉体の粒子サイズや成形圧力によって所望のサイズの気孔を形成することができ、さらに軸受面となる内周面を適宜目つぶし加工により所望の多孔質絞りを形成して高剛性な軸受を構成することができる。この多孔質燒結合金からなる軸受部36は、摩擦係数が極めて小さく、スティックスリップを可及的に抑制することができる。また、潤滑油が不要で、使用環境をクリーンに維持できると共に、メンテナンスフリーが実現できる特徴を有している。
【0030】
静圧軸受24とガイドバー25とのラジアルすきまは、5〜15μmの範囲に規制し、流量を調整することにより、適宜所望の軸受剛性と負荷容量を設定することができる。通常軸受剛性は軸受のラジアルすきまに反比例するため、可能な限り小さく設定することで高精度なスライダーが得られるが、一対のガイドバー25の平行度や直角度および真円度を考慮し、本実施形態では7〜12μmの範囲に設定している。
【0031】
本実施形態では、静圧軸受の中で最も負荷容量を高くできる多孔質燒結合金からなる静圧軸受24を例示したが、これに限らず、オリフィス絞りや表面絞り、あるいは自成絞り形式の静圧軸受であっても良い。また、ここではガイドバー25は断面円形のバー材を使用したが、断面矩形の角材を使用しても良い。本出願人が実施した試験では、多孔質の燒結合金からなる静圧軸受24をZスライド11の案内機構として使用すると、超音波ホーン12のZ軸制御精度が格段に向上し、1.0〜1.2μmの分解能が得られ、ベアチップ14の装着精度±5μm以下を達成することができた。また、加圧力を5〜100Nの範囲で、±0.5N以下の加圧精度を達成することができた。したがって、従来に比べ接合強度が向上し、シェア強度は単位バンプ当たり0.5N以上を達成することができ、接合における不良率を格段に抑制することができた。
【0032】
本実施形態では、超音波ホーン12の振動振幅のないノーダルポイントPnを固定ボルト30を介して支持部材26に固定すると共に、長手方向中央部の最大振動振幅点を加圧するようにしたので、従来のような半波長分の長さをもつ一対のブースタは不要となり、超音波振動子32で加振する振動体は、実質的に1波長分の長さの超音波ホーン12のみとなり、振動体の重量が格段に低減されるので、超音波のエネルギーロスを抑制することができる。さらに、従来、ベアチップ14がプリント基板15に衝突してダメージを与えないように、超音波ホーン12を下降させて両者14、15が接触する寸前で、下降速度を減速させる必要があったが、超音波ホーン12を含む振動体の重量が低減されたことにより、こうした位置決め制御が容易となり接合作業時間を短縮することができる。超音波接合における作業時間の短縮は、チップ部品の低コスト化に大きく貢献するため、量産における効果は多大なるものがある。
【0033】
また、本実施形態では、フリップチップボンダーについて説明したが、本発明に係る超音波接合装置はこれに限らず、例えばギャングボンダーやその他端子接合等半導体部品一般の超音波接合装置に適用できることは言うまでもない。
【0034】
以上、本発明の実施の形態について説明を行ったが、本発明はこうした実施の形態に何等限定されるものではなく、あくまで例示であって、本発明の要旨を逸脱しない範囲内において、さらに種々なる形態で実施し得ることは勿論のことであり、本発明の範囲は、特許請求の範囲の記載によって示され、さらに特許請求の範囲に記載の均等の意味、および範囲内のすべての変更を含む。
【0035】
【発明の効果】
以上詳述したように、本発明に係る超音波接合装置は、横振動方式の超音波ホーンを利用して電子部品に水平方向の超音波振動を付与することで溶融接合し実装する超音波接合装置において、超音波の周波数の1波長分の長さに予め設定され、その両端部および長手方向中央部に最大振動振幅点を有する超音波ホーンと、この超音波ホーンの長手方向中央の最大振動振幅点に設けられた接合作用部と、前記超音波ホーンの一端部に同軸上に連結され、当該超音波ホーンを横振動させる超音波振動子と、前記超音波ホーンの2つのノーダルポイントを固定ボルトを介して着脱自在に固定した支持部材と、前記超音波ホーンを加圧する加圧手段とを備えているので、従来のような半波長分の長さをもつ一対のブースタは不要となり、超音波振動子で加振する振動体は、実質的に1波長分の長さの超音波ホーンのみとなり、振動体の重量が格段に低減されるので、超音波のエネルギーロスを抑制することができる。さらに、従来、チップ部品が回路基板に衝突してダメージを与えないように、超音波ホーンを下降させて両者が接触する寸前で、下降速度を減速させる必要があったが、超音波ホーンを含む振動体の重量が低減されたことにより、こうした位置決め制御が容易となり接合作業時間を短縮することができる。

The present invention relates to an ultrasonic bonding apparatus that uses an ultrasonic horn of a lateral vibration type and, for example, ultrasonically bonds a bump of a bare chip of an integrated circuit directly to a land portion of a printed circuit board, and particularly, a holding structure of the ultrasonic horn. The present invention relates to an ultrasonic bonding apparatus improved from the above.
[0002]
[Prior art]
As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, a conventional ultrasonic bonding apparatus has a length of at least one wavelength of a predetermined frequency of an ultrasonic wave. An ultrasonic horn 50 having three maximum vibration amplitude points, an engagement tip 51 projecting out of the ultrasonic horn at the center maximum vibration amplitude point of the ultrasonic horn 50 and engaging with the joined members W1 and W2; , Are connected coaxially to the maximum vibration amplitude points at both ends of the ultrasonic horn 50, have a half-wave length of the ultrasonic frequency, and have the maximum vibration amplitude points at both ends and the nodal point ( Boosters 52 and 53 having zero points of vibration amplitudes of wavelengths) Pn and Pn, an ultrasonic transducer 54 coaxially connected to one of these boosters 52 and 53, and an external nodal in each of the boosters 52 and 53. The supporting members 55R and 55L, in which the points Pn and Pn are clamped by mechanical clamping means, and the support 56 on which the supporting members 55R and 55L and the members W1 and W2 are placed are relatively moved to be covered. Pressurizing means for pressing the engaging tip 51 to the joining members W1 and W2 is provided.
[0003]
Stepped holes 57R and 57L are formed in the support members 55R and 55L, and female screws 58 and 58 are formed on the inner peripheral surfaces of the large diameter portions of the stepped holes 57R and 57L. Then, the boosters 52 and 53 are inserted into the stepped holes 57R and 57L of the support members 52 and 53, and the tightening members 60R and 60L having the external threads 59 and 59 formed on the outer peripheral surface thereof are screwed and tightened, thereby increasing the booster. The projections 52F, 53F of the 52, 53 are firmly clamped to the support members 55R, 55L.
[0004]
Here, the support members 55R, 55L on which the boosters 52, 53 are supported are moved by a pressing means in a direction orthogonal to the vibration direction, and the engaging tips 51 provided on the ultrasonic horn 50 are connected to the members W1, While being brought into contact with W2, ultrasonic bonding is performed by applying vibration while applying pressure. At this time, the boosters 52 and 53 that sandwich the ultrasonic horn 50 are mechanically and strongly connected to the supporting members 55R and 55L at the nodal points Pn and Pn.

Japanese Patent No. 2583398 (pages 3, 4 and 2, 3)
[0006]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in such a conventional ultrasonic bonding apparatus, an ultrasonic horn 50 having a length of one wavelength at a predetermined ultrasonic frequency is replaced with a pair of boosters 52 having a half-wave length of the ultrasonic frequency. 53, and are mechanically connected to the support members 55R, 55L at the nodal points Pn, Pn of the boosters 52, 53, so that the vibrating body (ultrasonic The horn 50 and the boosters 52 and 53) have a length of at least two wavelengths of a predetermined ultrasonic frequency. In this case, the weight of the vibrating body increases, and the weight of the movable body including the vibrating body also increases, thereby lowering the positioning accuracy. There were limits to cost reduction.
[0007]
The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and in an ultrasonic bonding apparatus for a semiconductor component or the like using ultrasonic vibration, the weight of a vibrating body including an ultrasonic horn is reduced, and positioning accuracy is improved. It is another object of the present invention to provide an ultrasonic bonding apparatus that facilitates positioning control and suppresses a bonding operation time.
[0008]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to achieve the above object, the invention according to claim 1 of the present invention mounts and fuses by applying ultrasonic vibration in a horizontal direction to an electronic component using a lateral vibration type ultrasonic horn. In the ultrasonic bonding apparatus, an ultrasonic horn which is set in advance to a length corresponding to one wavelength of the ultrasonic frequency, and has a maximum vibration amplitude point at both ends and a longitudinal center thereof, and a longitudinal center of the ultrasonic horn. A joint acting portion provided at the maximum vibration amplitude point of the ultrasonic horn, an ultrasonic vibrator connected coaxially to one end of the ultrasonic horn, and configured to laterally vibrate the ultrasonic horn; A support member having a dull point detachably fixed via fixing bolts, and a pressurizing means for pressurizing the ultrasonic horn are provided.
[0009]
In this way, for example, in ultrasonic bonding, which is melt-bonded and mounted by applying horizontal ultrasonic vibration to a land portion on the circuit board side as a mating component on a bump of an electronic component such as a chip component, The maximum vibration amplitude point at the center in the longitudinal direction of the ultrasonic horn is pressurized, and the two nodal points of the ultrasonic horn are detachably fixed to the support member via fixing bolts, so that the half-wavelength of the conventional horn is used. A pair of boosters having a length is not required, and the vibrator to be excited by the ultrasonic vibrator is substantially only an ultrasonic horn having a length of one wavelength, so that the weight of the vibrator is significantly reduced. In addition, energy loss of ultrasonic waves can be suppressed. Furthermore, in order to prevent the chip components from hitting the circuit board and causing damage, it was necessary to lower the ultrasonic horn and reduce the descending speed just before the two contacted with each other. Since the weight of the vibrating body is reduced, such positioning control is facilitated, and the joining operation time can be reduced.
[0010]
The invention according to claim 2 of the present invention is directed to an ultrasonic bonding apparatus for melting and mounting by applying a horizontal ultrasonic vibration to an electronic component using a horizontal vibration type ultrasonic horn. An ultrasonic horn which is preset at a length corresponding to one wavelength of the ultrasonic frequency and has a maximum vibration amplitude point at both ends and a center in the longitudinal direction; and a maximum vibration amplitude point at the center in the longitudinal direction of the ultrasonic horn. And a sliding portion fixed to the upper surface opposite to the joining action portion, and an ultrasonic wave which is coaxially connected to one end of the ultrasonic horn and laterally vibrates the ultrasonic horn. A vibrator, and a support member having two nodal points of the ultrasonic horn detachably fixed via fixing bolts, wherein the sliding portion is formed of a member having a small coefficient of friction; A pressure receiving portion was provided.
[0011]
As described above, by forming the sliding portion with a member having a small coefficient of friction and using the pressure receiving portion of the ultrasonic horn, the joining property can be improved and the joining operation can be performed effectively.
[0012]
Preferably, as in the invention according to claim 3, the pressurizing means positions a Z stage guided by a guide bar via a static pressure bearing so as to be movable in the axial direction, and positions the Z stage so as to be able to move forward and backward. If a Z-slide is provided and a motor is mounted on the Z-slide, and the rotation of the motor is converted into a linear motion by a ball screw, stick-slip of the Z-stage can be suppressed as much as possible. As a result, the Z-axis control accuracy of the ultrasonic horn is improved, the linear motion of the ball screw can be smoothly performed, and the positioning accuracy can be significantly improved.
[0013]
According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, at the maximum vibration amplitude point at the longitudinal center of the ultrasonic horn, a protruding sliding portion is provided on the upper surface thereof, and a dog is provided at the lower end of the Z stage. Then, since the sliding portion is pressurized through the pressure detector facing the dog, it is possible to improve the accuracy of the pressing force and perform stable ultrasonic bonding without lowering the bonding strength. The quality of the joint can be improved.
[0014]
According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, since the supporting member is guided by the guide bar via the hydrostatic bearing so as to be freely movable in the axial direction, the ultrasonic horn is not stably tilted and accurately. It can be supported, improving the accuracy of the pressing force.
[0015]
Preferably, as in the invention according to claim 6, if the support member is suspended from the Z stage by a spring, the weight of the support member and the like does not apply to the ultrasonic horn, and Since the weight of the vibrating body including the horn can be further reduced, the positioning control is facilitated, and the joining operation time can be reduced.
[0016]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing an embodiment of an ultrasonic bonding apparatus according to the present invention. In the present embodiment, a flip chip bonder in which a bare chip (semiconductor chip) 14 is mounted on a printed board 15 will be described as an example. The flip chip bonder 1 includes a Y1 slide 2 provided on a base, an X1 slide 3 mounted on the Y1 slide 2, a substrate stage 4 provided on the X1 slide 3, a Y2 slide 5, and an X2 slide. 6, a bare-chip camera 7 supported by the Y6 slide 8, a bonding collet 9 supported by the Y3 slide 8, an ultrasonic horn 12 supported by the X3 slide 10, and the Z slide 11, a bare chip positioning stage 13, and a tray stage (not shown). Computer. The tray stage is vertically movable and accommodates a large number of bare chips 14 with their electrode forming surfaces facing upward.
[0017]
The Y1 slide 2 and the X1 slide 3 convert the rotations of the two AC servomotors into linear directions by a ball screw mechanism (not shown), and can move in two orthogonal directions in a horizontal plane. A substrate stage 4 is provided on the X1 slide 3, and the printed circuit boards 15 are transferred one by one by a transfer means (not shown). The transferred printed circuit board 15 is corrected for warpage and distortion on the substrate stage 4 and is preheated by a heater (not shown).
[0018]
The bare chip camera 7 is composed of a small camera having two fields of view, such as a CCD camera, and is disposed above and below the substrate stage 4 so as to be able to move forward and backward. The bare chip 14 is turned upside down on the bare chip positioning stage 13 in front of the printed circuit board 15, and is positioned by the Y3 slide 8 and the X3 slide 10. It is placed on the printed circuit board 15. The bonding collet 9 has a suction nozzle 9a for sucking and holding the bare chip 14 by air, and can be replaced as appropriate according to the shape and size of the bare chip 14. Each of the Y2 slide 5, the X2 slide 6, the Y3 slide 8, and the X3 slide 10 converts the rotation of two AC servomotors into a linear direction by a ball screw mechanism (not shown), and moves in two directions orthogonal to each other in a horizontal plane. It is possible.
[0019]
The ultrasonic horn 12 is supported by the Z slide 11 and descends above the printed board 15 positioned on the board stage 4 and the bare chip 14 positioned on the printed board 15, and stops at a predetermined position. A vacuum hole (not shown) is formed at the tip of the ultrasonic horn 12 so as to be coaxial with the center of rotation of the head, and the bare chip 14 is held by suction. The vacuum hole is used for controlling the computer equipped with the keyboard and the CRT. The information parameter such as the type of the bare chip 14 input from the keyboard while watching the display screen of the CRT and the program built in the computer for controlling the CRT. Therefore, the operation of each part of the flip chip bonder 1 is controlled. In addition, the image captured by the bare chip camera 7 is subjected to image processing, and the relative position between the bare chip 14 and the printed board 15 being transferred by the bonding collet 9 is confirmed from the result.
[0020]
FIG. 2 is a partially sectional front view showing an embodiment of the Z slide in the flip chip bonder 1 according to the present invention. The Z slide 11 includes an AC servomotor 16, a ball screw shaft 18a connected to a motor shaft 16a of the motor 16 via a coupling 17, a nut 18b externally fitted to the ball screw shaft 18a, and a nut 18b. And a Z stage 19 to which 18b is fixed. Helical screw grooves (not shown) are formed on the outer peripheral surface of the ball screw shaft 18a and the inner peripheral surface of the nut 18b, and a number of balls (not shown) are formed on the ball rolling path formed by these screw grooves. A so-called ball screw 18 which is accommodated so as to freely roll is configured. The rotation of the motor 16 is converted into a linear motion in the Z-axis direction by the ball screw 18.
[0021]
The ball screw shaft 18a is rotatably supported on the housing 20 via a rolling bearing 21 and cannot move in the axial direction. On the other hand, the nut 18b is fixed to the Z stage 19, and is arranged so as not to rotate and move freely in the axial direction.
[0022]
The Z stage 19 is supported by a pair of guide bars 25 via a static pressure bearing 24 described later so as to be movable in the axial direction. A support member 26 is provided at a lower end of the Z stage 19. The support member 26 is supported via a hydrostatic bearing 24 so as to be axially movable with respect to a pair of guide bars 25. Thereby, the ultrasonic horn 12 can be stably and accurately supported without inclination or the like, and the accuracy of the pressing force can be improved.
[0023]
The ultrasonic horn 12 is detachably attached to the support member 26, and the support member 26 is suspended from the Z stage 19 by a pair of coil springs 27. Therefore, the own weight of the support member 26 is canceled, and the vibrating body to be vibrated by the ultrasonic vibrator 32 is substantially only the ultrasonic horn 12, and the weight of the vibrating body is remarkably reduced.
[0024]
A dog 28 protrudes from the lower end of the Z stage 19, and a load cell 29 is provided to face the dog 28. The pressure of the ultrasonic horn 12 can be detected by the load cell 29. Then, load control is performed based on the output signal of the load cell 29.
[0025]
The ultrasonic horn 12 is formed in a rectangular cross section, has a maximum vibration amplitude point at both ends and a central part in the longitudinal direction, has a nodal point Pn at an inner point approximately 4 from both ends, and has an ultrasonic horn. The length is set in advance to one wavelength of the frequency (see FIG. 4). Further, the ultrasonic horn 12 has a sliding portion 12a protruding from the upper surface and a joining portion 12b protruding from the lower surface at the maximum vibration amplitude point at the center. Then, the sliding portion 12 a, that is, the central portion in the longitudinal direction of the ultrasonic horn 12 is pressed via the pressure detector 29 facing the dog 28. Thereby, while improving the accuracy of the pressing force, stable ultrasonic bonding can be performed without lowering the bonding strength, and the quality of the bonded portion can be improved. At least the surfaces of the sliding portion 12a and the joining action portion 12b are formed of a material having a high wear resistance and a small friction coefficient, such as a cemented carbide or a diamond alloy using a cemented carbide as a binder. Thereby, while improving durability, joining property can be improved. In addition, a suction hole (not shown) for sucking the bare chip 14 is formed in the joint action portion 12b.
[0026]
The ultrasonic horn 12 is fastened to the support member 26 via a pair of fixing bolts 30. As shown in FIG. 3, the fixing portion is set at the nodal point Pn. At the position of the nodal point Pn inside the ultrasonic horn 12, an insertion hole 31 having a diameter larger than the outer diameter of the fixing bolt 30 is formed in the vertical direction. A female screw 31a is formed at the center of the insertion hole 31, that is, at the nodal point Pn in the center of the cross section of the ultrasonic horn 12, and the ultrasonic horn 12 is detachable by screwing the fixing bolt 30 to the female screw 31. Can be fastened to the support member 26. Instead of the female screw 31, a fixing bolt 30 may be inserted into the nodal point Pn inside and fastened with a fixing nut (not shown). Here, examples of the material of the ultrasonic horn 12 include an aluminum alloy, brass, stainless steel, and a titanium alloy.
[0027]
An ultrasonic vibrator 32 is coaxially connected to one end of the ultrasonic horn 12. The ultrasonic vibrator 32 is supplied with electric power from an ultrasonic generator (not shown), generates a longitudinal ultrasonic wave having a predetermined frequency, and converts electric energy to be output to mechanical energy, such as a piezoelectric element or a magnetostrictive element. Energy converter. As described above, the nodal point Pn of the ultrasonic horn 12 is fixed to the support member 26 via the fixing bolt 30, and the ultrasonic horn 12 is The ultrasonic horn 12 is moved downward by driving the motor 16 to lower the Z stage 19 via the ball screw 18 while applying ultrasonic vibration in the longitudinal direction of the ultrasonic horn 12. Then, the printed circuit board 15 placed on the receiving table 33 and the bare chip 14 come into contact with each other, and both are pressed. In this way, by applying ultrasonic vibration while pressurizing the printed board 15 and the bare chip 14, the oxide film on the contact surface is removed, the activated metal surface is exposed, and the local temperature at the boundary due to friction is increased. With the increase, the distance between the active atoms is reduced and metal bonding is performed.
[0028]
FIG. 5 is a sectional perspective view showing an embodiment of the hydrostatic bearing 24. The hydrostatic bearing 24 includes a bearing portion 36 made of a porous sintered metal and a back metal 37 externally fitted to the bearing portion 36. An annular intake groove 37a is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the back metal 37, and opens to an intake port 37c through an intake chamber 37b communicating with the intake groove 37a. The intake port 37c communicates with an air supply source via an intake pipe (not shown).
[0029]
The bearing portion 36 is made of a copper-based sintered metal, a solid lubricant such as graphite, and a binder for binding the same, and is formed in a mold at a predetermined pressure, and then heat-treated. Pores of a desired size can be formed by the particle size and molding pressure of the powder, and the inner peripheral surface serving as a bearing surface is appropriately closed to form a desired porous restriction to form a highly rigid bearing. be able to. The bearing portion 36 made of the porous sintered metal has an extremely small coefficient of friction and can suppress stick-slip as much as possible. Further, the lubricating oil is unnecessary, and the use environment can be maintained cleanly, and the maintenance-free operation can be realized.
[0030]
By regulating the radial clearance between the hydrostatic bearing 24 and the guide bar 25 within the range of 5 to 15 μm and adjusting the flow rate, desired bearing rigidity and load capacity can be appropriately set. Normally, bearing stiffness is inversely proportional to the radial clearance of the bearing, so a high-precision slider can be obtained by setting it as small as possible.However, taking into account the parallelism, squareness and roundness of the pair of guide bars 25, In the embodiment, it is set in the range of 7 to 12 μm.
[0031]
In the present embodiment, the static pressure bearing 24 made of porous sintered metal capable of increasing the load capacity among the static pressure bearings is exemplified. However, the present invention is not limited to this. It may be a pressure bearing. Although the guide bar 25 is made of a bar having a circular cross section, a rectangular bar having a rectangular cross section may be used here. In a test conducted by the present applicant, when the hydrostatic bearing 24 made of porous sintered metal was used as a guide mechanism for the Z slide 11, the Z-axis control accuracy of the ultrasonic horn 12 was remarkably improved. A resolution of 1.2 μm was obtained, and a mounting accuracy of the bare chip 14 of ± 5 μm or less could be achieved. Further, when the pressing force was in the range of 5 to 100 N, it was possible to achieve a pressing accuracy of ± 0.5 N or less. Therefore, the joining strength was improved as compared with the conventional case, and the shear strength was able to achieve 0.5 N or more per unit bump, and the defective rate in joining could be remarkably suppressed.
[0032]
In the present embodiment, the nodal point Pn of the ultrasonic horn 12 having no vibration amplitude is fixed to the support member 26 via the fixing bolt 30, and the maximum vibration amplitude point at the center in the longitudinal direction is pressurized. A pair of boosters having a length corresponding to a half wavelength as in the related art becomes unnecessary, and the vibrating body to be excited by the ultrasonic vibrator 32 is substantially only the ultrasonic horn 12 having a length corresponding to one wavelength. Since the weight of the body is remarkably reduced, energy loss of ultrasonic waves can be suppressed. Furthermore, conventionally, it was necessary to lower the ultrasonic horn 12 and reduce the descent speed just before the two 14 and 15 were in contact with each other so that the bare chip 14 did not collide with and damage the printed board 15. Since the weight of the vibrating body including the ultrasonic horn 12 is reduced, such positioning control is facilitated and the joining operation time can be reduced. Shortening the working time in ultrasonic bonding greatly contributes to lowering the cost of chip components, and thus has a great effect in mass production.
[0033]
In the present embodiment, the flip chip bonder has been described. However, the ultrasonic bonding apparatus according to the present invention is not limited to this, and it is needless to say that the ultrasonic bonding apparatus can be applied to general ultrasonic bonding apparatuses such as gang bonders and other terminal bonding. No.

However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments at all, but is merely an example, and may be variously modified without departing from the gist of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is, of course, indicated by the appended claims, and further includes the equivalent meanings described in the appended claims and all modifications within the scope.
