Abstract

PURPOSE:To attain wire bonding at ultra-high speed while realizing bonding having high reliability by successively detecting the height of interfaces on bonding and controlling the operation of a head. CONSTITUTION:When a capillary is landed at the interface of a pad and an underside detector 1 is operated, the content of a register 4 is updated to the current height of the pad, and sequence is started according to a variable position using the latest landing height as a reference in subsequent sequence. When a bonding tool leads out a wire and reaches the maximum of starting, the underside-position register 4 is changed over to a register on the load side, and preceding held lead height is employed as a reference. Sequence is started, and the bonding tool is lowered toward a second interface (a lead). When the capillary is landed to the lead, the content of the underside-position register 4 is updated to lead-landing height. Subsequent sequence is started using the latest lead landing height as the reference.

In a conventional method for controlling the head of a wire bonding apparatus, the height of the bonding point is taught and stored in advance, and adjustments during actual bonding are made by manually changing the data. However, during actual bonding, due to factors such as uneven base height of the chip transfer device, variations in lead pressure, and chip inclination, the bonding point height during teaching and actual bonding does not always match. There were variations in the height of each junction point. In contrast, with conventional methods, it is not possible to correct the height in real time during actual bonding, resulting in deformation of the loop shape, instability of the ball diameter, and unreliability of the bonding state due to pressure fluctuations. was causing a decline. Also, since the height of the joining point had to be taught and memorized in advance,
The drawback was that productivity did not improve.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a wire bonding apparatus for carrying out a head control method showing one embodiment of the present invention.
In the figure, 1 is a bottom detector that detects the grounding of the junction point;
2 is a position detector such as an encoder that detects the upper and lower chambers of the bonding arm, and 3 is a position detector that counts the detection signal of the position detector (
A current value counter 4 holds the current height of the bonding arm by measuring the current height of the bonding arm. Reference numeral 4 designates a lower surface position register that holds the current count value of the current value counter 3 based on the output signal from the lower surface detector 1. Here, the lower surface position register 4 is composed of two registers that hold the lower surface position data of the pad and the lower surface position data of the lead, and switches between the two registers according to the grounding of the pad and the lead. A subtracter 5 subtracts the value of the lower surface position register 4 from the current value counter 3, and the resulting value indicates the relative displacement amount of the bonding arm from the detected lower surface position reference. A comparator 6 compares and determines whether the bonding arm has reached the target position of the operation switching point. Here, the output of the comparator 6 is input to the sequence control section 8 and serves as a trigger for operating the sequence. As a result, the series of bonding steps shown in FIG. 2 are sequentially executed according to the instructions from the sequence control section 8 (

Reference numeral 7 indicates a target value buffer for storing operation switching point positions from the sequence control unit, and reference numeral 9 indicates operation start and stop information from the sequence control unit 8 to the mechanical drive unit 10 and the speed control unit 11 that controls the vertical movement of the bonding head. This is an output sofa that stores control data that instructs switching of the bottom position register. The mechanical drive section 10 controls the current of a solenoid and a near motor for opening and closing a clamper and the like. The speed control unit 11 controls the drive motor 12 by causing the head to move up and down in a predetermined manner, generating a speed profile for lowering to the junction point and wire looping.

Next, the operation of this embodiment will be explained. A sequence program for wire bonding is stored in advance in the sequence control unit 8, and data for the first step is held in the target buffer 7 and the output buffer sofa 9. The mechanical driver section 10 operates according to the contents of this data, and the mechanism of the bonding tool is maintained in a desired state. At the same time, the speed control unit 11 is activated, and the first joint point (pad)
The bonding tool descends towards the At this time,
In the lower surface position register 4, the pad side register is selected and a sequence is started according to the amount of displacement based on the previously held height of the adjacent pad, and the bonding tool is controlled. Next, when the capillary lands on the pad junction and the bottom detector 1 is activated, the contents of the register are updated to the current height of the pad, and the subsequent sequence is sequenced according to the amount of displacement based on the latest landing height. is started. Therefore, in loop formation after the first bonding point bonding, it is possible to always draw out a certain amount of wire.

Then, the sequence is started and the bonding tool is lowered toward the second bonding point (lead). When the capillary lands on the lead, the contents of the lower surface position register 4 are updated to the lead landing height. The subsequent sequence is started based on the latest lead landing height. Therefore, the tail length extension after the second bonding point can always be maintained at a desired value, and a stable ball can be formed. After the ball is formed, the sequence control section 8 returns to the desired step and repeats the same sequence.

Furthermore, since the bonding head can be controlled in real time to adapt to the height of the bonding point that changes during actual bonding, it is possible to always optimize the wire loop shape and bonding conditions to shorten the soft landing time. Therefore, reliability and productivity of wire bonding can be greatly improved, and as a result, product reliability and yield of semiconductor devices can be improved.

As explained above, the present invention includes a means for sequentially detecting the landing of the bonding tool on the bonding point of the electrode and the lead during bonding, and reading the position of the bonding tool at that time, and the vertical movement of the bonding tool during wire bonding. Since the operation of the mechanism attached to the head is controlled in real time based on the bottom surface position, stable bonding can be performed even if the height of each bonding point varies due to factors such as chip inclination. Can be done.

In addition, since the vertical movement of the bonding tool and the movement of the mechanism attached to the head are controlled in real time, it is possible to prevent loop shape deformation, instability of the ball diameter, and fluctuations in the bonding state due to fluctuations in pressure force, unlike conventional methods. Does not cause sexual decline. Furthermore, since there is no need to teach and memorize the height of the joining point in advance, productivity can be improved.
