2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, as semiconductors have become highly integrated and highly functional, the leads of integrated circuits tend to have a large number of pins and a narrow pitch. This also applies to wire bonding for connecting the integrated circuit chip and the inner lead of the lead frame, and the number of pins, pitches, and wires are increasing. Further, the loop height of the bonding wire tends to be low in order to reduce the height of the integrated circuit package. For this reason, it is necessary to manage the loop shape of the bonding wire more strictly in order to prevent disconnection and short circuit of the bonding wire in the molding process after bonding, and an automatic visual inspection device for inspecting the loop shape of the bonding wire is strongly desired. It is rare.

It is a block diagram which shows the conventional bonding wire inspection apparatus shown by the 4th publication. Referring to FIG. 6, the illuminating device 18 includes a ring-shaped light projecting unit, and projects the illuminating light to the rising portion of the bonding wire 19 as the inspection object from the entire circumferential direction. The imaging device 20 includes a lens 21 and a CC

FIG. 7 shows an image picked up by the image pickup device 20. Referring to FIG. 7 together with FIG. 6, since the illumination light is projected from the entire circumferential direction to the rising portion 23 of the bonding wire 19, this portion shines extremely strongly and the imaging device 20 is lit in this portion. Since the focus is adjusted, the image of the rising portion 23 can be obtained. Since only the rising portion 23 of the bonding wire 19 can be obtained as a bright image in this way, the length of the rising portion 23 can be calculated from the image data obtained by the imaging device 20.

This conventional bonding wire inspection apparatus observes the height of the rising portion of the bonding wire by illuminating it brightly. Therefore, when the highest point of the bonding wire is in the middle of the wire loop, the highest point is obtained. The wire height cannot be measured. In addition, since it is necessary to observe the bonding wire from diagonally above in order to avoid the bonding wire in front of the bonding wire to be actually inspected, if the rising portion of the bonding wire is oblique, there is an error in measuring the rising height.

Mask 10 for shielding the lower half of the lens 7
Means that the illumination light passing through the lower side of the lead frame 3 is reflected by the lens 7
Prevent it from getting into noise. In this embodiment, the bonding wire 1 stretched over the lead frame 3 is used.
Therefore, the light passing under the lead frame 3 is unnecessary, and this light becomes noise in the image formation of the bonding wire 1. Since the image of the bonding wire 1 can be projected only by the upper half of the lens 7, by shielding the lower half of the lens 7 with the mask 10, a good image of the bonding wire 1 with less noise can be obtained.

As described above, according to the present invention,
Since the optical axis of the image forming means for observing the bonding wire is parallel to the lead frame, the wire height at the highest point can be accurately measured regardless of the highest point position of the bonding wire. Further, by shielding a part of the image forming means by the shielding means so that the light unrelated to the image formation of the bonding wire as the inspection object does not enter the image forming means, the image of the good bonding wire with less noise is formed. Therefore, the inspection accuracy is improved.
