In FIG. 10, a compressed air supply source 6001 from a compressor or the like, a commercially available air filter 6002 for removing dust or the like from the compressed air, a pressure control 6003 capable of arbitrarily changing the pressure of the compressed air, and a pressure Is supplied to the head unit 500 and the supply unit 530 from the solenoid valve 6004 for supplying or stopping the compressed air when necessary.

As described above, the head section 500 and the supply section 5
The supply of the compressed air to 30 can be obtained when a predetermined constant pressure is required (by a command from a control (not shown)).

The operation of the above-described solder ball supply unit 50 is mainly described by using (t) (a) to (f) of FIGS.
FIG. 11 (a) to FIG. 12 (a) to FIG. 11 (a) to FIG.
Each of the steps shown in (g) will be described below in the order of steps.

In the first step, as shown in FIGS. 13 (t) and 13 (a), the head section 380 attracts the glass jig 4 and is sent to the solder ball supply section 50. The horizontal drive unit 580 is retracted to a position where it does not interfere with the head 380. In addition, the ball push-up 5306 is raised, and the tip is put in the hopper (B) 5507. On the other hand, at this time, the solder balls 3
1 (u) (as shown in (a)) from the stocker 5501 containing a large number of stockers 5501, the supply amount required at one time. In this case, the supply amount required at one time was an appropriate amount of 2 to 2.5 times the amount required for the solder balls to enter all the holes of the glass jig 4.

In the second step, as shown in FIGS. 13 (t) and 13 (a), each part is advanced by the horizontal drive 580, and the transfer head 500 is moved to the position of the glass jig 4 adsorbed by the head 380. Moving directly above, the transfer head 500
Is lowered, and the hopper (A) 50 of the head unit 530 is lowered.
01 is detached from the mounting base 5004 and the compression spring 5
003 only. Therefore, the lower surface of the hopper (A) 5001 is in close contact with the upper surface of the glass jig 4 and is pressed. In the above state, the compressed air (a) is supplied from the hose (D) 5510 to the hopper (B) 5507 of the supply unit 530,
The transfer head 50 through a hose (E) 5018
0 (FIG. 11 (u) (i) to (u)). The compressed air (a) at this time may be the minimum pressure (in the present invention, a pressure of 0.1 to 0.4 kgf / cm ² ) at which the solder ball is sent, and the flow of the compressed air (a) is FIG.
(U) As shown in (a) in (u), a groove 500 formed as a flow path below the hopper (A) 5001.
2 (four directions) so that the solder balls 3
It does not flow toward the hose (C) 5019 and the hose (B) 5021. When all the solder balls which are supplied at one time are sent, the hose (E) 5510
Compressed air (a) is stopped.

The third step is the same as the second step except that the ball lifting shaft 5306 is lowered as shown in FIGS. 13 (t) and 13 (c). In this state, compressed air (b) is supplied from the hose (B) 5021 to the hopper (A).
Send it to 5001. At this time, the pressure of the air is such that the solder balls 3 are lifted from the glass jig 4 in the hopper (A) 5001, and the solder balls interfere with each other and fall on the side wall of the hopper (A) 5001. That is, the solder balls are disturbed in the hopper (A) 5001 and are successively put into the holes 5 a of the glass jig 4. (FIG. 12
(U) (O)). Since the disturbance of the solder ball 3 is performed at substantially the same flow rate as the compressed air, the solder ball 3 is repeatedly and repeatedly sent to the hole of the glass jig 4 in a short time. Therefore, the mounting success rate of the solder ball 3 is extremely high. The supply and stop of the compressed air are repeated to change the disturbed state of the solder ball 3 and to insert the solder ball 3 into the hole 5 a of the jig 4, the solder ball 3 is disturbed as described above. It is better to make a one-stop condition and to attach it than to continue to attach (Fig. 12 (u)
(O) and FIG. 14 (t) (f)), it was found that the mounting completion time was short. When this operation was repeated, the mounting for a shorter time was completed.

At this time, since the compressed air escapes from the groove 5002 formed in the hopper (A) 5001, the solder ball does not flow from another hose. Even if it flows, it is very small. As described above, the solder balls enter all the holes of the glass jig 4 and are sucked by the suction unit of the head unit 380 described above. The surplus is left on the surface of the glass jig 4.

In the fourth step, as in the third step, FIG.
(T) State (d). On the other hand, the solder balls 3
When all the holes are put into the holes of the glass jig 4 in the process, the compressed air (b) from the hose (B) 5021 is stopped.
(At this time, the compressed air (a) from the hose (E) is also stopped). Next, as shown in FIG. 12 (u) (g), suction is performed from the hose (F) 5126 connected to the suction means (into the container 5100), and at the same time, compressed air (b) is discharged from the hose (B) 5021. Send. Thereby, compressed air (b)
Flows through the container 5100 after flowing through the hose (C) 5019, and flows from the hose (F) 5126 to the suction means. Therefore, the solder balls 3 are sent along the flow of the compressed air (b) and sent to the container 5100. Therefore, all the surplus solder balls 3 on the glass jig 4 are collected in the container 5100. In the above, the compressed air (b) may be changed to the working pressure in the third step described above, or may be supplied by providing another compressed air circuit. In any case, the object is achieved by determining the exhaust flow rate of the suction means so that the above-described flow of the compressed air (b) flows in the above-described circuit. As described above, when all the solder balls 3 are collected, the compressed air (b) is stopped.

In the fifth step, as shown in FIGS. 14 (t) and (e), the transfer head section 500 is lifted up and retracted by the horizontal drive section 580 to a position where it does not interfere with the head section 380. At this time, the solder ball 3 that has entered the hole of the glass jig 4 is adsorbed by the glass jig 4, and the solder ball 3 that has entered the stocker 5501 is vibrated by a vibrator 5302, and
01 is almost flat.

In the sixth step, the mechanical operation is the same as in the fifth step, as shown in FIGS.
In the glass jig 4 holding the solder ball 3, the camera 59 checks whether the solder ball 3 of the glass jig 4 is mounted in all the holes to be inserted.
At 00, if there is not any one, the operation is repeated from the first step by a command not shown. In the present invention, the repetition is performed only once because the mounting success rate is high, and other causes (dust in the glass jig).
As a treatment.

As described above, the solder ball supply unit 50
When a large amount of solder balls are put in the stocker 5501, the solder balls are divided into a necessary amount at one time, and the solder balls are sent by compressed air to a glass jig where the solder balls are put, and the solder balls are compressed air (a). And can be mounted in all holes of the glass jig in a short time. The solder balls 3 remaining in the holes of the glass jig 4 are recovered by compressed air (b) and suction means and used again. If even one solder ball does not enter the hole 5 (a) of the glass jig, it is detected and compensated for. The above series of operations are all automatically performed by the control for control.

The above-described solder ball supply method can be achieved by the following method.

(1) The above-mentioned solder ball supply section 53
10 (a), the dry air unit 7002 is attached between the compressed air supply source 6001 and the air filter 6002 as shown in FIG. 10 (b). Circuit is the same). Thereby, since the moisture of the solder ball is removed, the reliability of the joining can be improved. Also, FIG.
As shown in FIG. 10C, the same applies to a method in which a heater 7004 is placed after the dry air unit 7002 in FIG.

(2) Next, FIGS. 10 (a), (b),
In (c), by inserting the static electricity removing device 7003 after the pressure control 6003, it is possible to prevent the static electricity from being applied to the solder balls 3 and prevent the solder balls 3 from adhering to various parts.

(3) In addition, the above-described dry air means, heater means, and static electricity removing means are not limited to the above-mentioned parts, but may be any place where the purpose of each means can be achieved, and the combination of each means is also the same. Clearly there is.

(4) Next, in order to shorten the melting time of the solder balls, the above-mentioned heater is used not only as a drying means but also as a heating means to raise the temperature to a constant temperature. Or a method of shortening the melting time of solder balls by placing solder balls previously heated in a stocker.

(5) The above-mentioned compressed air supply source 6001 uses an inert gas such as N 2 gas instead of compressed air (otherwise the same) to prevent oxidation of the solder balls. The method used in (4).

(6) The head section 380 has been described with respect to the method of mounting the solder ball from above the hole with the glass jig 4 with the hole into which the solder ball enters, facing upward. As shown in FIG. 15, the head section 380 is inverted by 180 degrees, that is, the glass jig 4
Can be attached to the glass jig from below by adsorbing the solder ball on the lower surface of the head section 380 and pointing the hole for the solder ball downward. An example is shown below.

The method is based on the transfer head 5 described above.
FIGS. 3A and 3B are cross-sectional views taken along the line BB in FIG.
FIG. 3B, which is a bottom view of FIG. 3A, and FIG.
4 (b) and the top view of FIG. 4 (b) have the same configuration as that shown in FIG. 4 (a), and the operation is almost the same, with the following differences.

830 is rotated 180 degrees, and the head unit 380 is positioned and fixed.

(B) The entrance where the solder ball from the supply section 530 enters the hopper (B) 5001 is close to the glass jig 4 as shown in FIG. To do).

(C) The inlets of the compressed air for agitation and recovery are opposite. In other words, the inlet of the compressed air for agitation is conventional b is for agitation and (d) is for recovery. However, the inlet of the hopper (B) 5001 for the compressed air for disturbance (shown by d) is connected to the mesh 5001b as shown in FIG. 1 (Z) so that the solder balls 3 do not enter the hose (C) 5019. Are fixed with a ring 5001a.

(2) The inlet of the compressed air (indicated by (b)) used for collecting the solder balls is located at a position facing the joint (B) 5021 for the collection (indicated by (c)). Therefore, when collecting solder balls,
A predetermined liquid is sent from (b) and simultaneously collected in the collection container 5100 from (c).

(E) The compressed air (d) for agitation has a pressure at which the solder ball sufficiently collides with the glass jig 4 from the hose (c) 5019.

As described above, the solder ball (necessary amount at one time) sent from the supply section 530 is blown up to the glass jig by the disturbing air (d), and is blown to the glass jig. This is a method of adsorbing solder balls and mounting them in all holes. Means for sending solder balls in others,
The collecting means and the recognizing means are exactly the same as the methods described so far.
