Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a solder transfer method and device for mounting solder particles on a substrate.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Soldering is performed with electronic elements such as LSI.
This is an indispensable technique for connection with the board on which this is mounted. Among these, particularly, the ball grid array (BGA) system is
In recent years, particular attention has been paid to the fact that it can be applied to high density electronic devices.

The outline of the soldering process in the BGA method will be described below.

First, flux is applied to the pad. The application of the flux is performed by dropping a small droplet of the flux or by applying a printing technique. In some cases, the flux is directly applied to the heads of the connection terminals on the package of the LSI or the like without providing a special pad.

After applying the flux, granular solder (hereinafter referred to as "solder ball") is mounted thereon. The solder balls are mounted by using a dedicated jig for aligning the solder balls according to the pad arrangement pattern. The jig has holes arranged in the same pattern as the pads. The diameter of the hole is set to be slightly larger than the diameter of the solder ball. Further, the bottom surface of the hole is provided with a fine hole connected to the suction device.

First, the jig has a holed surface facing upward. Then, the solder balls are put into the holes and aligned.
When the suction device is operated here, the air inside the hole is sucked through the pores, and the solder balls are sucked to the bottom surface of the hole by the same principle as the cleaner. In this state, the solder balls will not come out of the holes even if the direction of the jig is changed. Therefore, as it is, face the surface of the jig with the holes downwards and face the surface of the board on which the pads are provided (hereinafter referred to as "pad surface") (the board has the pad surface facing up in advance). . Then, positioning is performed so that each hole and the corresponding pad face each other, and then suction is stopped and the jig is vibrated. Then, the solder ball falls by gravity and is placed on the pad.
The solder balls do not roll because they are captured (attached) by the flux applied to the pads. If heated as it is, the flux melts and encloses the solder ball. As a result, the solder ball is temporarily fixed to the pad.

After that, the connection partner is connected in the same manner as the normal reflow soldering.

Such a technique is disclosed in, for example, Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 58-58.
It is disclosed in Japanese Patent No. 118131.

[0009]

However, since each solder ball has a very light mass of several mmg or less,
Even if the jig was vibrated, the solder balls sometimes did not separate from the jig (see FIG. 14). In particular, when the jig or the like is charged with static electricity, or when water or the like is present, such a possibility is strong.

Further, the solder ball may be displaced during (or when) dropping onto the pad. In principle, such a problem can be solved by pressing the solder ball against the pad while leaving the solder ball in the hole. However, this method has a problem that flux adheres to the jig.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a highly reliable solder ball transfer method and apparatus.

It is an object of the present invention to provide a solder ball transfer method and device which can ensure that the solder ball is disengaged from the jig and that can be accurately placed at a predetermined position.

[0013]

The present invention has been made in order to achieve the above object, and in one aspect thereof, in a solder transfer apparatus for transferring solder particles to a target position, the solder transfer apparatus corresponding to the above target position is provided. An alignment plate provided with an alignment hole into which the solder particles that are separately provided can be fitted, and a protrusion that is disposed in the alignment hole and is configured to be able to change the position in the depth direction of the alignment hole. There is provided a solder transfer device comprising: a member; and a protruding member driving unit that changes a position of the protruding member in the depth direction of the alignment hole.

It is preferable that the aligning hole has a holding means for holding the solder particles in a detachable state.

It is preferable to include a suction means for sucking air, and a suction path for connecting the alignment hole and the suction means.

It is preferable that the tip of the protruding member further has a holding means for holding the solder particles in a detachable state.

A suction passage for sucking air, a suction passage for communicating with the suction means, and a communication passage for communicating the tip end surface of the projecting member with each other.
It is preferable to have

It is preferable that the projecting member is formed in a pipe shape having an opening at its tip surface, and further has suction means for sucking air through the opening.

As a second aspect of the present invention, in the method of operating the solder transfer apparatus, the solder particles are put in the alignment holes with the protruding member lowered in advance, and the alignment holes and the target position are set. In a state where they are opposed to each other, a driving method of the solder transfer device is provided, characterized in that the driving means actuates the projecting member toward the outside.

As a third aspect of the present invention, in the method of operating the solder transfer apparatus, the solder particles are put into the alignment holes with the protruding member lowered in advance, and the suction means blows air through the communication passage. It is preferable to include a step of sucking the suction member, causing the protruding member driving unit to actuate the protruding member toward the outside, and then stopping the suction by the suction unit.

As a fourth aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method of transferring solder particles to a flux-coated pad,
A solder transfer method is provided, which comprises a step of pressing the solder particles against the flux-coated surface to temporarily fix the flux-coated surface.

[0022]

Operation: With the projecting member lowered in advance, solder particles are put into the alignment holes.

After that, the alignment holes (that is, the solder particles) of the alignment plate are made to face the target position (for example, the pad of the substrate). In this case, when the alignment plate is to be directed downward, the holding means holds the solder particles so that the solder balls do not drop by gravity during the process. For example, the solder particles are sucked and sucked by sucking air through the communication passage (or the suction furnace) by the suction means. The means for making the target position and the alignment hole of the alignment plate face each other does not necessarily have to be provided in the solder transfer device itself. A transfer device or the like that transfers the substrate to the transfer device may be provided.

If the alignment plate is oriented downward,
After the alignment hole (that is, the solder particles) and the target position are opposed to each other, if the holding by the holding means is released, the solder particles fall by gravity. In this case, by operating the projecting member outward by the projecting member driving means, the solder particles are reliably separated from the alignment plate. Alternatively, when the holding means that holds the solder particles at the tip of the projecting member is used, the projecting member is operated toward the outside without releasing the holding, and the solder particles are used for the purpose. Press in position. And
After that, the holding by the holding means is released. At the destination position,
If a flux or the like is applied in advance, the solder particles are captured and temporarily fixed by this flux.

If the aligning plate is not turned downward in the middle, the same operation can be performed without holding by the holding means. In this case, the solder particles reach the target position by being pushed up by the projecting member.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS A solder ball transfer device which is an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[Embodiment 1] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the transfer apparatus of this embodiment has an alignment jig 1 and a substrate pedestal 2.
, A reversing mechanism 3, a supply mechanism 4, and a controller 5 (not shown).

The supply mechanism 4 is a mechanism portion for supplying solder balls to the alignment jig 1. This supply mechanism 4
Is configured to include a feeding hopper 40, a conveying pipe 41, a suction hole 42, a hopper 43, a drive actuator (cylinder) 44, an L bracket 45, and the like. Since the mechanical portion is not a feature of the present invention, detailed description thereof will be omitted. As the supply and supply mechanism, for example, "a fine particle mounting method and device" described in JP-A-3-225832 can be used.

The alignment jig 1 arranges the solder balls supplied from the supply mechanism 4 in correspondence with the pads b on the substrate p, and transfers the solder balls to the pads b while maintaining the arranged state. It is a thing. The present embodiment is characterized by the alignment jig 1 and its drive mechanism. Therefore, these will be described later in detail with reference to FIG.

The substrate pedestal 2 is a pedestal on which a substrate p to which the solder balls are to be transferred is placed. The substrate pedestal 2 is configured to move up and down according to the guide 21 by a cylinder 23 driven by air, and its height position can be adjusted. In addition, the cylinder 2 guides 2
It is configured so that it can be moved in accordance with No. 2 and the position in the left-right direction in FIG. The substrate pedestal 2 is provided with a suction mechanism so that by sucking the substrate p, the substrate p can be securely held without displacement.

The reversing mechanism 3 is for changing the orientation of the aligning jig 6 when the solder balls are mounted on the aligning jig 1 and when the solder balls are transferred to the substrate p.
An enlarged view of the reversing mechanism 3 is shown in FIG. This reversing mechanism 3
Includes a reversing arm 30, a bearing 32, a rotor reactor 33 (see FIG. 2), a coupling 34, and stoppers 35 and 36.

The reversing arm 30 is supported by a bearing 32 on a shaft 31 provided substantially at the center thereof. The drive force generated by the rotary actuator 33 causes the shaft 31 to rotate about the shaft 31 so that the shaft can be reversed right and left. In FIG. 3, the state in which the reversing arm 30 is tilted to the left is drawn by a solid line, while the state in which it is tilted to the right is drawn by a dashed line. The stoppers 35 and 36 are the reversing arm 3
It is a member for determining the position (angle) of 0. By pressing the reversing arm 30 against the stopper 35 or the stopper 36, the reversing arm 30 can be kept horizontal when the reversing arm 30 is tilted right or left. As a result, this leads to leveling the surface of the alignment jig 1 on the side facing the substrate p. A recess 37 is formed on the upper surface of the left end portion of the reversing arm 30 in the state of being positioned on the left side in FIG. 3 (shown by the solid line in FIG. 3). The above-described alignment jig 1 and its drive mechanism are installed in and around the recess 37. Since the detailed structure of the recess 37 is related to the driving mechanism of the alignment jig 1 and the like, it will be separately described together with the details of the alignment jig 1.

The control section 5 controls the operations of the above-mentioned sections in cooperation with each other. A part of the control configuration by the control unit 5 is shown in FIG. In this embodiment, the control unit is composed of the microprocessor 50, memories 51 and 52, and programs and data stored in the memories. The control unit 5 includes a cylinder 17, a suction pump 19, a cylinder 23, a cylinder 24, and a rotary actuator 3.
3, the supply mechanism 4 is also controllable. A driving instruction or the like from the administrator is given to the control unit 5 through the operation key 54. The control unit 5 operates each of the above units according to this instruction or according to a program stored in the memories 51 and 52.

The alignment jig 1 (particularly the protruding pin 13) and its driving mechanism will be described in detail with reference to FIG.

As described above, the aligning jig 1 is installed in the recess 37 provided at one end of the reversing arm 30 and the periphery thereof. The alignment jig 1 includes an alignment plate 10 having bottomed alignment holes 11 for aligning the solder balls (see FIG. 6) and a projecting pin for securely separating the solder balls from the alignment plate 10. 13 are provided.

The alignment holes 11 of the alignment plate 10 are provided in a pattern and intervals corresponding to the pads b. In FIG. 6, they are provided in a 3 × 4 grid pattern. This alignment hole 11
The diameter of the solder ball is slightly larger than the diameter of the solder ball. In this example, the solder ball diameter:
0.76 mm, the diameter of the alignment hole 11 is 00.8 mm, and the depth of the alignment hole 11 is 0.5 mm. The bottom surface of the alignment hole 11 is provided with a hole 372 (see FIG. 5) described later and a hole 12 that is connected to the suction pump 19 through a tube. By sucking the air in the alignment holes 11 with the suction pump 19, the solder balls can be suction-held on the bottom surface of the alignment holes 11. The alignment plate 10 is attached to the opening of the recess 37 as if it were a lid (see FIG. 5). The joint between the two has an airtight structure, and air does not flow into the recess 37 through the clearance of the joint.

The projecting pin 13 is provided with a hole 1 in a retractable state.
It is installed in 2. By operating the protrusion pin 13, the solder ball can be reliably separated from the alignment hole 11. The protruding pin 13 is provided on the alignment plate 10
It is attached to the pin holding plate 15 arranged on the back side (upper side in FIG. 5) of, as if it were a sword. As a matter of course, the array pattern and the interval are in accordance with the array pattern of the alignment holes 11 and the like. Pin holding plate 15
The outer peripheral contour of is matched with that of the inner peripheral wall surface 370 of the recess 37. Further, an O-ring 16 is attached to the outer peripheral portion of the pin holding plate 15. Therefore, the pin holding plate 15 and the inner peripheral wall surface 370 are kept airtight so that air does not flow through the gap between them.
At the same time, it does not hinder the vertical movement of the pin holding plate 15 described later.

A cylinder 17 is installed further behind the pin holding plate 15 (upper side in FIG. 5) and the pin holding plate 1
5 is connected to its drive shaft 18. The cylinder 17 itself is not installed in the recess 37 but on the back surface side of the reversing arm 30. At the bottom of the recess 37, the reversing arm 30
A hole 374 penetrating to the back surface side of the drive shaft 18 is formed, and the drive shaft 18 is passed through this hole 374. Pin holding plate 1
5 is configured to be movable in the vertical direction (indicated by a white arrow in the figure) in FIG. 5 by the force from the cylinder 17. The projecting pin 13 comes in and out from the bottom surface of the hole 11 as the pin holding plate 15 moves. A sufficient gap is left between the hole 374 and the drive shaft 18, and the air existing in the space between the bottom surface of the recess 37 and the pin holding plate 15 can freely flow in and out through the gap. it can. Therefore, the air existing in this portion does not hinder the movement of the pin holding plate 15.

A hole 372 is provided near the opening of the inner peripheral surface 370 of the recess 37. And the hole 372
Is connected to the pump 19 by a tube (not shown). As a result, the [Pump 19-Cube-
-Hole 372 --- A region between the alignment plate 10 and the pin holding plate 15 of the concave portion 37 --- Hole 12--Alignment hole 10], which is a communication structure for air suction. Hole 12
Between the and the projecting pin 13, a sufficient gap is left to perform the suction. This communication structure is established regardless of the position of the pin holding plate 15. However, if the pin holding plate 15 (that is, the protruding pin 13) is a predetermined amount or more,
In the case of protruding, the communication structure may be blocked. As described above, the pin holding plate 15
An O-ring 16 is arranged on the outer periphery of the airtight so as to be in an airtight state. Therefore, the air flowing into the recess 37 through the hole 374 does not hinder the suction by the pump 19.

The "projecting member" referred to in the claims corresponds to the projecting pin 13 in this embodiment. The "projection member driving means" means the cylinder 1
7, a control unit 5 and the like. The “holding means” is configured to include the pump 19 and the like. The “suction means” corresponds to the pump 19. “Suction path” means the alignment hole 10 from the pump 19 described above.
It corresponds to the communication structure for air suction. The "solder grain" corresponds to a solder ball.

Next, the transfer operation of the solder balls will be described.

A board p sent by a component carrying mechanism (not shown) is set on the board cradle 2. Here, the substrate p is as shown in FIG. 7, and although not shown, it is assumed that the surface of the pad b is previously coated with flux with a thickness of about 0.15 mm. A semiconductor chip is mounted on the substrate p and sealed with a resin mold m. As a matter of course, as the alignment jig 1, a jig corresponding to this substrate p is used.

Immediately before and after the board is set, in the aligning jig 1, a solder ball is fed from the supply mechanism 4 into the aligning hole 11 (see FIG. 8). Further, the pump 19 is operated and suction is performed from the hole 12.
Then, based on the same principle as that of the vacuum cleaner, the solder balls are in a state of being attracted to the bottom surface of the hole 11. At this time, the projecting pin 13 is formed in the hole 1 so as not to hinder the adsorption.
Keep it closer than the bottom of 1.

When both of them (alignment jig 1, substrate p) are ready, the reversing mechanism 3 starts to operate. That is, the reversing arm 30 rotates clockwise about the shaft 31 by 180 degrees.
° rotate. Then, the alignment hole 11 (that is, the solder ball x) of the alignment jig 1 comes into a state of being close to and facing the pad b corresponding to the alignment hole 11. The solder ball x in this state is drawn by a solid line in FIG. As described above, the reverse arm 30 is kept horizontal by being pressed against the stopper 35. That is, the alignment jig 1 and the substrate pedestal 2 are reliably kept in parallel. The centers of the alignment holes 11 of the alignment jig 1 and the corresponding centers of the pads b are aligned with each other. However, in this state, in order to prevent the alignment jig 1 and the solder ball x from coming into contact with the flux f, the board pedestal 2 is slightly lowered in its height position.

In this state, this time, the cylinder 17 projects the protrusion pin 13 to move the solder ball x into the alignment hole 1.
Separate from 1. The operation at this time will be described below.

First, the projecting pin 13 is projected outward (downward) from the bottom surface of the alignment hole 11 (see FIG. 10). Then, the solder ball x is mechanically extruded,
It drops on the pad b away from the bottom surface of the alignment hole 11 of the alignment jig 1 (in FIG. 9, the solder ball x dropped away from the alignment jig 1 is drawn by a dashed line). Further, when the protruding pin 13 is extended, the protruding pin 13 presses the solder ball x against the pad b. Then, the solder ball x is in a state where a part thereof is embedded in the flux f,
Securely fixed (temporary fixing). In FIG. 9, the protruding pins 13 and the solder balls x temporarily fixed at this time are drawn by dotted lines. In this case, the solder ball x is separated from the bottom surface of the alignment hole 11, but the upper portion thereof is still in the alignment hole 1.
Located within 1. Therefore, the position of the solder ball x is hardly displaced during this pressing.

When the amount of flux applied to the pad b is small, or when static electricity is strong, the solder ball x may not be removed. Therefore, subsequently, the protruding pin 13 is retracted from the bottom surface of the alignment hole 11. Then, the solder ball x is caught on the bottom surface (edge of the hole 12) of the alignment hole 11 of the alignment jig 1 and projects, and then falls off from the pin 13. It is also conceivable that the solder balls adhere to the edges of the holes 12. However, in reality, the hole 1
Such a situation is rare because the contact area with the edge portion of 2 is small.

By operating the projecting pin 13 in this procedure, the solder ball x is moved to the pad b of the substrate p.
It can be reliably transferred onto the top (see FIG. 11).

After that, if the substrate p is heated in a reflow furnace, the flux is melted and wet, and the solder ball x is entrapped and the solder ball x is fixed to the pad b of the substrate p.

As described above, in this embodiment, all the solder balls x can be separated from the alignment holes 11 of the alignment jig 1.

However, the distance between the alignment jig 1 and the substrate p is not always always sufficiently close. In some cases, it may be necessary to keep the distance between the two wide to some extent. For example, there are cases where a large amount of flux is used, and the spacing must be set wider in order to prevent the adhesion of the flux. In such a case, the distance by which the solder ball is naturally dropped becomes large, and there is a high possibility that misalignment will occur on the way. After all, it is conceivable that the solder ball x cannot be landed on the center point of the pad b. Therefore,
An example in which such a problem is also solved will be described as a second embodiment.

[Embodiment 2] In this embodiment, the protruding pin 1 is used.
Further, a hole 14 is provided in the 3 ', and the hole 14
It is characterized by allowing suction through.

As shown in FIG. 12, the hole 14 is constructed so that it can be sucked by the pump 19 through a communication structure composed of a space 150 provided inside the pin holding plate 15 ', a suction hole 152 and the like. As a result, in this embodiment, the solder ball x can be adsorbed and held at the tip of the protruding pin 13 '(the opening of the hole 14).

The term "communication passage" as used in the claims refers to the hole 1 from the opening at the tip of the protruding pin 13 '.
4, the space 150, the suction hole 152, the tube, and the pump 19, which corresponds to a communication structure portion for sucking air. In this embodiment, the holes 3 in the first embodiment are
72, a region of the recess 37 between the alignment plate 10 and the pin holding plate 15, a communication structure including the holes 12 and the like (see FIG. 3) are not provided.

The operation of the protruding pin 13 'will be described.

The aligning plate 10 was manufactured in the same procedure as in the first embodiment.
The solder balls x are aligned in the holes 11 of the. Then, the pump is operated to start suction from the hole 14. Then, the solder ball x is adsorbed to the tip opening of the protruding pin 13 '. In this case, as long as the clearance between the projecting pin 137 and the hole 12 maintains a sufficient airtightness that does not impede the suction effect, the projecting pin 13 is located at any height position. I do not care. However, when the structure is such that the outside air can flow into the hole 11 from the clearance to the extent that the suction effect is hindered, the protruding pin 1
The tip of 3 is located at substantially the same height as the bottom surface of the recess 37, or
Keep it protruding from the bottom. With this arrangement, the tip end opening of the projecting pin 13 directly contacts the solder ball and is not affected by the inflow of outside air from the clearance.

In this way, after the solder balls are attracted to the projecting pins 13 ', the reversing mechanism 3 causes the alignment jig 1 to face the substrate p. Then, the projecting pin 13 'is projected while keeping the suction state of the solder ball (see FIG. 13). Then, the solder ball x has a hole 1
Although it comes out from inside 1, it does not fall naturally on the pad b as it is because it is adsorbed by the protruding pin 137.

When the projecting pin 13 'is further projected as it is, the solder ball x is pushed into the flux f of the pad b (see FIG. 14). As a result, the substrate p
Even if the distance between the solder ball x and the alignment jig 1 is large, the solder ball x is tentatively and accurately fixed on the pad b.

After that, if heating is performed in a reflow furnace or the like as in Example 1, the flux melts and the solder balls are fixed.

In the second embodiment described above, the solder balls can be transferred more reliably.

In Examples 1 and 2 above, the alignment jig 1 was inverted so as to overlap the substrate p. However, it is also conceivable to invert the substrate p so that it faces downwards. In this case, the suction mechanism for sucking the solder balls can be omitted.

In the first and second embodiments, the pad b of the substrate p is
The transfer device was provided with means (for example, the reversing device 3 or the like) for making the and the alignment holes 10 of the alignment jig 1 face each other. However, the means for causing the two to face each other does not necessarily have to be included in the solder transfer device itself. An apparatus or the like for transferring the substrate may be provided. Alternatively, even if they do not have a dedicated means for making them face each other, as a result, it suffices if they face each other.

In the second embodiment, the protruding pin 13 'has a pipe shape. However, the specific structure is not limited to this as long as the solder ball can be held in a detachable state at the tip of the protruding pin 13 ′. For example, the pin 1 protruding from the pump 19
You may arrange | position the tube etc. which were connected even to the tip position of 3 '.

[0064]

As described above, according to the present invention, it is possible to reliably transfer solder balls even if they are attached by static electricity or moisture. Further, in a mode in which the solder ball is pressed against the pad to which the flux is applied,
The solder balls can be placed (attached) in a more precise position.
