First, in FIG. 4A, a wire 2 made of metal such as gold held in a capillary 201 is used.
A ball 203 is formed at the tip of 02 by a discharge action, and the capillary 201 is moved in the direction of arrow A to press and join the ball 203 to the electrode 205 of the chip 204. For this joining, there are thermocompression bonding or a method of applying ultrasonic vibration in the direction of arrow A to this. Where 2
06 is generally called a passivation film, and is an insulating protective film formed around the electrode 205.

さらに図4(b)で示すように、ワイヤ202と共にキャピラリ201を矢印ウの方向

Further, as shown in FIG. 4B, the capillary 202 is moved in the direction of the arrow C together with the wire 202 to tear the wire 202 and form a bump 207 on the electrode 205. The bump 207 formed in this way has a bowl shape composed of a pedestal portion 207A and a protruding portion 207B. This is called a hook-shaped bump.

次にこのようにして鋲状バンプ207が形成されたチップ204の背面を、図5で示す

Next, the back surface of the chip 204 on which the bowl-shaped bumps 207 are thus formed is sucked and held by the bonding tool 101 as shown in FIG. 5 and moved in the direction of the circuit board 251 (direction of arrow D). As a result, as shown in FIG. 5A, the tip of the protruding portion 207B of the bowl-shaped bump 207 contacts the electrode 252 formed on the circuit board 251 and is slightly crushed. Due to this crushing margin, even if there are variations in the height of the plurality of bowl-shaped bumps 207, the tips of all the bowl-shaped bumps 207 formed on the chip 204 can be brought into contact with the corresponding electrodes 252. .

Furthermore, after heating a joining part to predetermined temperature, as shown in FIG.5 (b), the joining tool 10 is shown.
1 is pressed in the direction of arrow D, the bowl-shaped bump 207 is greatly deformed and crushed.
7 and the electrode 252 are joined. At this time, ultrasonic vibrations may be generated in a direction substantially parallel to the main surface of the circuit board 251 (in the direction of the arrow O). Here, the leveling operation is performed immediately before joining, but the bump tip may be pressed against a separately provided leveling flat plate in the previous step.

Next, another method of forming bumps on the chip and performing face-down bonding to the circuit board is shown in FIG.
And it demonstrates based on FIG. First, as shown in FIG.
5 is formed on the surface where 5 is present, and the upper space 21 of the electrode 205 is further formed.
The masking layer 209 is formed to a predetermined thickness while avoiding zero.

Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 6B, electroplating is performed using the metal film 208 for plating electrode as a common electrode to form a metal layer 211 on the electrode 205. Further, as shown in FIG. 6C, the masking layer 209 and unnecessary plating electrode metal film 208 around the bump are removed to form a prismatic or cylindrical bump by the metal layer 211. This is called a plating bump.

次にこのようにしてめっきバンプ211が形成されたチップ204の背面を、図7(a

As described above, in addition to the method using bumps made of an alloy mainly composed of gold, C4 (Controlled collapse chip c) using bumps made of solder is used.
There is a flip chip mounting method such as “connection”. In any case, as shown in FIG. 8, a method of filling the gap between the chip 204 and the circuit board 251 with the insulating resin 261 is widely used. When the insulating resin 261 is cured, the chip 204 and the circuit board 25 are cured.
It has the effect of dispersing the stress caused by the difference in thermal expansion coefficient from 1 and preventing the stress from concentrating on the bumps and their joints. In addition, by eliminating the space around the bumps after bonding, air containing oxygen And prevents moisture from entering.

As shown in FIG. 9, a method of filling the insulating resin from the dispensing needle 262 close to the periphery of the chip 204 after mounting the chip 204 by using a capillary phenomenon has been widely used. However, as the mounting density has increased in recent years, the number of bumps per unit area has increased and the distance between the lower surface of the chip and the circuit board has become smaller. It has come to take time. As shown in FIG.
There is a method of supplying an insulating resin to the mounting position of the circuit board in advance before mounting, but it has been difficult to prevent the insulating resin from protruding from a predetermined range.

Therefore, in recent years, methods such as Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2 have been devised. The method of patent document 1 is a method as shown in FIG. First, as shown in FIG. 11A, the insulating resin 261 is supplied onto the flat plate 263, and the chip 204 is held by the bonding tool 101 with the bowl-shaped bump 207 facing downward. Then, as shown in FIG. 11B, the joining tool 101 is lowered and pressed to level the bowl-shaped bump 207. Next, when the joining tool 101 is raised as shown in FIG. 11C, the insulating resin 261 is transferred in addition to the leveling, and then the mounting process is started.

Patent Document 2 is a method as shown in FIG. First, as shown in FIG.
Insulating resin 261 is supplied to the upper surface of chip 204 with 5 facing upward. Then, as shown in FIG. 12B, a metal wire having a ball formed at the tip is pressed from above the insulating resin 261 and bonded to form the bowl-shaped bump 207. Thereafter, the chip 204 is inverted and mounted.

However, in the method of Patent Document 1 shown in FIG. 11, since the insulating resin 261 covers the electrodes and bumps of the chip 204 at the stage of mounting alignment, the electrodes are optically imaged and aligned. Is inconvenient. Therefore, after alignment, the tool is moved to transfer the insulating resin, and the mounting position is moved back to the aligned mounting position. Is inevitable.

It is necessary to bond the bumps so as not to touch 1, and even if it is realized, when optical imaging as described above is performed, the tip of the bumps must be determined as the position reference. Bump shape distortion and positional error are positioning error factors for mounting.
Further, since the insulating resin 261 is supplied to the chip 101, bumps are formed, and further inverted and aligned, and then mounted, it takes a long time until the insulating resin 261 is cured. Ingenuity is required to maintain physical properties (viscosity, etc.).
