Abstract
The present invention discloses a solder ball supply device for supplying a solder ball to the upper portion of the ball mask for the ball bumping process. Solder ball supply apparatus according to the present invention, the bottom surface is open cylindrical housing; A rotating shaft coupled to the center of the housing; A pressing member fixed to the inside of the housing to evenly distribute the solder balls on the ball mask and to lightly press the solder balls located on the ball mask into the ball holes of the ball mask; An air curtain portion that sprays gas at a predetermined angle to the center portion of the housing to prevent the solder ball from escaping out of the housing; Rotating driving means for rotating the rotating shaft and the housing and the pressing member and a driving means for moving it to the left and right up and down.
According to the present invention, the solder ball injected into the upper portion of the mask is not only distributed evenly by the pressing member, but also pushed into the pressing member or slightly pressed into the mask hole. In addition, since the solder ball is continuously maintained in the ball holding area in the center of the housing by the gas injected from the outside, it is possible to proceed with the ball bumping process more efficiently by using a smaller amount of solder balls than in the prior art.
Description
The present invention relates to a solder ball supply device used in ball bumping equipment for attaching solder balls to wafers or similar materials. Specifically, the present invention relates to a solder ball supply device using an air curtain to prevent solder balls from escaping to the outside of the housing, The present invention relates to a solder ball supply device capable of more effectively injecting solder balls into a mask hole by gently pressing a solder ball on an upper surface of a ball mask using a pressing member.
Generally, in order to manufacture a semiconductor package, a predetermined thin film is first deposited on a wafer, and the deposited thin film is subjected to photolithography and etching to form a circuit pattern.
In addition, a packaging process in which the circuit pattern-formed wafer is sawed again into individual dies (or chips), is attached to the PCB substrate, and molded.
Thus, conventionally, it has been common to divide the wafer into individual dies and then proceed with the packaging process for each die. However, recently, as ball bumping technology becomes more sophisticated, a wafer bumping method of attaching a plurality of solder balls to the front surface of a wafer at a time by using a mask before cutting the wafer has been widely used.
The conventional wafer bumping method of the related art proceeds in the following order.
First, as shown in FIG. 1A, the flux mask 20 is positioned above the wafer W while the wafer W is placed on the chuck 10. Subsequently, when the flux F is squeezed from the upper portion of the flux mask 20 to the
Subsequently, the
By the way, the process of removing the residual solder ball while pouring the solder ball (B) on the top of the
Accordingly, a lot of automated solder ball supplies have recently been introduced.
As an example, Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 2010-177230 introduces a so-called cyclone-type solder ball supply device in which a circular air blowing device is installed around a hopper. This method has the advantage that a smaller number of balls can be used than the conventional ones because the solder balls are not dispersed around the substrate. However, when the ball is operated while moving on the substrate, the solder balls entering the mask hole due to the strong wind pressure of the air ejecting device are pulled out again. There is a risk of coming out. In addition, the impact and the amount of impact of the solder ball is increased by the strong wind pressure may damage the solder ball may cause product defects.
As another example, Korean Patent No. 10-1116937 introduces a solder ball printing apparatus in which a wire rod having a line spacing smaller than the diameter of the solder ball is installed under the solder ball supply unit.
According to the registered patent, since the vibration must be generated after supplying the solder ball on the upper portion of the wire rod, the exciter (vibration device) must be installed. However, the exciter not only accelerates the deterioration of the device when used for a long time, but also increases the product cost. In addition, since the vibration is applied while the lower end of the wire is in contact with the mask surface, the service life of the wire is shortened due to contact friction.
In addition, the solder ball supplied to the top is uniformly distributed so that the line spacing must be constant to pass through the wire rod, but the thin diameter wire is hard to maintain a constant spacing because there is little rigidity. Therefore, the solder ball is not uniformly distributed on the mask, there is a problem that the solder ball is not stably injected into the mask hole.
An object of the present invention is to provide a solder ball supply device which can more stably input the solder ball in the mask hole in the ball bumping process. In addition, an object of the present invention is to provide a solder ball supply apparatus that can reduce the cost and increase the productivity by reducing the amount and loss of solder balls and the time that the solder ball is put into the mask hole.
In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is a solder ball supply device for performing a ball bumping process while supplying a solder ball to the upper portion of the ball mask, the bottom surface of the cylindrical housing; A rotating shaft coupled to the center of the housing; A pressing member fixed to the inside of the housing to evenly distribute the solder balls on the ball mask and to lightly press the solder balls located on the ball mask into the ball holes of the ball mask; An air curtain portion that sprays gas at a predetermined angle to the center portion of the housing to prevent the solder ball from escaping out of the housing; It provides a solder ball supply device comprising a rotary drive means for rotating the housing and the pressing member by rotating the rotary shaft and a drive means for moving the left and right up and down.
The pressing member of the solder ball supply apparatus according to the present invention may be fixed to the center of the ceiling of the housing by a fixing member.
In addition, the pressing member of the solder ball supply apparatus according to the present invention may be characterized in that the shape seen from the bottom surface is straight or cross-shaped, the shape of the side cross-section is circular, arc or straight.
In addition, the air curtain portion of the solder ball supply apparatus according to the present invention, the first flow path formed on the ceiling of the housing; A second passage formed on the sidewall of the housing and communicating with the first passage; An injection nozzle part inclined inwardly at a lower end of the side wall of the housing and communicating with the second flow path; It may be characterized in that it comprises a gas supply means for supplying gas to the first passage.
In addition, in the solder ball supply apparatus according to the present invention, a gas flow guide is formed to protrude inwards on an inner wall of the housing, and the gas flow guide may include an inclined surface that is lowered toward the outside.
In addition, the solder ball supply apparatus according to the present invention may be characterized in that the gas outlet is formed on the side wall and ceiling of the housing, respectively.
According to the present invention, the solder ball injected into the upper portion of the mask is not only distributed evenly by the pressing member, but also pushed into the pressing member or slightly pressed into the mask hole.
In addition, since the solder ball is continuously maintained in the ball holding area at the center of the housing by the gas injected from the outside of the housing, it is possible to proceed with a more efficient ball bumping process using a smaller amount of solder balls than in the prior art.
