[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to an electronic component bonding tool and a bonding apparatus for bonding an electronic component to a surface to be bonded such as a substrate.
[0002]
[Prior art]
As a method for bonding an electronic component such as a flip chip to a surface to be bonded such as a substrate, a method using ultrasonic pressure welding is known. In this method, ultrasonic vibration is applied while pressing a bump of an electronic component against a substrate, and bonding surfaces are rubbed against each other for bonding. As a bonding tool for pressing electronic components used in this method, a crimping surface is formed on the center of a cylindrical horn to press and crimp an electronic component, and an ultrasonic transducer is attached to the end of the horn It has been known. At the time of bonding, it is necessary to press the electronic component against the surface to be bonded with an appropriate bonding load, so this pressing load acts on the horn. At this time, in order to perform good bonding, the electronic component must be held in an appropriate posture. Therefore, the horn is required to have an appropriate rigidity against this load.
[0003]
In addition, the ultrasonic vibration generated by the ultrasonic transducer is transmitted along the longitudinal direction of the horn, but when the cross-sectional area of the horn is changed in the longitudinal direction, the transmitted amplitude is the cross-sectional area. There is a characteristic that it depends. Therefore, in order to efficiently use the vibration, it is necessary to appropriately set the shape of the horn.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, since conventional bonding tools for crimping electronic components are manufactured by turning, the horn must be based on a cylindrical shape. If the dimensions of the horn are set so as to ensure the above-mentioned proper rigidity based on such a cylindrical shape, the horn cross-sectional area inevitably increases and the amplitude of vibration transmitted to the electronic component decreases. As a result, the use efficiency of vibration was reduced. In addition, if the use efficiency of vibration is to be improved based on the cross-sectional area of the horn set in this way, the cross-sectional area on the ultrasonic transducer side of the horn must be further increased, and the horn has a large size. There was a problem of becoming. As described above, the conventional bonding tool for electronic parts has a problem that it is difficult to realize a bonding tool that satisfies the requirement of vibration use efficiency and is compact and can secure the required bending rigidity.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a compact electronic component bonding tool and bonding apparatus having excellent vibration utilization efficiency while ensuring necessary bending rigidity.

[0014]
A holder 12 is coupled to the lower end of the main body 11 of the bonding head 10. A block 13 as an elevating member is attached to the holder 12, and a bonding tool 14 is fixed to the block 13. Hereinafter, the block 13 and the bonding tool 14 will be described with reference to FIGS.
[0015]
As shown in FIG. 2, the horn 15 of the bonding tool 14 is an elongated rod-like body, and a mounting seat 15 a is provided integrally with the horn 15 on the side surface of the horn 15. The mounting seats 15a are arranged symmetrically with respect to the longitudinal direction of the horn at four locations that are equidistant from the center of the horn 15. The bonding tool 14 is fixed by bringing the upper plane of the mounting seat 15 a into contact with the mounting plane of the lower surface of the block 13, and the mounting seat 15 a is a fixing portion for fixing the horn 15.
[0016]
A holding portion 15e that protrudes downward and holds the electronic component 30 by vacuum suction is provided on the lower surface of the center portion of the bonding tool 14, and the lower surface of the holding portion 15e serves as a pressing surface 15f for pressing the electronic component. . Further, one end of a vacuum suction inner hole 16 provided in the horn 15 is opened on the crimping surface 15f to form an adsorption hole 16a. The other end of the inner hole 16 opens to the position of the mounting seat 15a on the upper surface of the horn 15 to form a suction hole 16b. A pipe portion 18 is provided on the protrusion 13 a provided on the side surface of the block 13 so as to protrude downward. As shown in FIG. 4, the suction pad 19 attached to the lower end portion of the pipe portion 18 is connected to the horn 15. It is in contact with the position of the suction hole 16b on the upper surface. Accordingly, the suction device 21 is driven to suck air from the tube 20 connected to the protrusion 13a and communicated with the pipe portion 18 through the inner hole 13b of the protrusion 13a, thereby opening the pressure contact surface 15f via the inner hole 16. The suction holes 16a (FIGS. 3A and 3B) can be vacuum-sucked, and the electronic component 30 can be vacuum-sucked and held on the crimping surface 15f.
[0017]
A vibrator 17 is attached to the side end surface of the horn 15. By driving the vibrator 17, longitudinal vibration is applied to the horn 15, and the holding portion 15e vibrates in the horizontal direction. As shown in FIG. 3B, the shape of the horn 15 is such that the width is sequentially reduced from the both end portions 15b to the central portion 15d through the tapered portion 15c. That is, the vertical cross section in the longitudinal direction of the horn 1 has a shape having a wider cross-sectional area on the vibrator 17 side than on the crimping surface 15f side. As a result, the amplitude of the ultrasonic vibration is amplified in the path transmitted from the vibrator 17 to the holding unit 15e, and vibration greater than the amplitude oscillated by the vibrator 17 is transmitted to the holding unit 15e, thereby improving the vibration use efficiency. be able to.
[0018]
Further, as shown in FIG. 4A, the cross-sectional shape of the horn 15 in the direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction is that of the taper portion 15c (see cross section A) and the central portion 15c (see cross section B) on the crimping surface 15f side. In any case, the height dimension H is a rectangle larger than the width dimensions B1 and B2, that is, has a cross-sectional shape in which the bending rigidity is maximized in the direction in which the pressing surface 15f is pressed against the substrate 32. By making the cross section of the horn 15 into such a shape, the bending rigidity of the horn 15 can be maximized in the bonding load direction while keeping the size of the bonding tool 14 as compact as possible. Good bonding can be performed while minimizing the bending. In addition to the rectangle, the shape that can obtain such an effect is an ellipse whose major axis is the vertical direction as shown in FIG. 4B, or the vertical direction as shown in FIG. 4C. An elongated polygon can also be used.
[0019]
Next, a mode of vibration excited on the horn 15 by the vibrator 17 will be described. As shown in FIG. 3A, the standing wave of vibration excited by the horn 15 is determined by the position of the mounting surface of the vibrator 17 and the position of the pressure bonding surface 15f of the holding portion 15e located at the center of the horn 15. The position of the mounting seat 15a and the suction hole 16b as fixing portions for fixing the horn 15 to the block 13 is a node of a standing wave. That is, such a standing wave can be generated in the horn 15 by appropriately setting the shape and mass distribution of each part of the horn 15.
[0020]
Accordingly, the mounting seat 15a, which is a fixed portion, is located at a node of the standing wave that is equidistant from the crimping surface 15f, which is a position corresponding to the antinode of the standing wave of the horn 15, in the direction of both ends of the horn 15. It is provided integrally with the horn 15 at a corresponding position. As a result, the displacement due to the longitudinal vibration of the horn 15 is minimized at the position of the mounting seat 15a to which the bonding tool 14 is fixed, and a maximum amplitude is obtained at the position of the holding portion 15e that holds the electronic component 30. It can be most effectively used for bonding the electronic component 30.
[0021]
The electronic component bonding apparatus is configured as described above, and the operation will be described next. In FIG. 1, the electronic component 30 is vacuum-sucked and held on the crimping surface 15 e of the bonding tool 14 and is positioned above the substrate 32. Therefore, the lens barrel 44 is moved forward to acquire images of the electronic component 30 and the substrate 32 with the camera 42, and image data is sent to the recognition unit 53. The main control unit 50 detects a relative positional shift between the electronic component 30 and the substrate 32 from the image data, drives the table 35 according to the detection result, and performs the position correction by moving the substrate 32 horizontally.
[0022]
Next, the Z-axis motor 6 is driven to lower the bonding head 10 and press the bumps of the electronic component 30 against the substrate 32. At this time, the substrate 32 is heated by a heating means (not shown). In the pressed state, the vibrator 17 is driven to apply vibration to the electronic component 30. As a result, the pressing surface between the bump 31 and the electrode of the substrate 32 is rubbed by vibration, and the bump 31 is bonded to the electrode of the substrate 32.
[0023]
At this time, as described above, the cross-sectional shape of the horn 15 is such that the amplitude of the ultrasonic vibration transmitted from the vibrator 17 is amplified, and efficient bonding with excellent vibration use efficiency is performed. In addition, the bonding tool 14 can be made compact, and the bending of the horn 15 during bonding can be minimized, which is favorable because the bending rigidity in the crimping direction is maximized. Bonding can be performed.
[0024]
【The invention's effect】
According to the present invention, since the vertical cross section in the longitudinal direction of the horn of the bonding tool is rectangular, the amplitude of the vibrator can be amplified during bonding, and bonding with excellent vibration utilization efficiency can be performed. The tool 14 can be made compact, and good bonding can be performed while suppressing the bending of the horn due to the bonding load.
