Description of the Invention (1) Field of the Invention The present invention relates to electrical connection using solder bumps. In particular, the present invention relates to a method for generating solder bumps in the semiconductor industry for electrical connection. 〇 A7 B7 BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION The importance of ball grid array (BGA) packaged integrated circuit (1C) devices in the production process of 1C devices is increasing. In the BGA packaging process, the conventional method is to use a bead to solder on the base material of the 1C package Zhao. Various methods have been described for bonding packages and solder joints using solder joints. U.S. Patent No. 4,878,611 describes solder joint assembly technology in which beads having a defined size are reflowed to form a solder joint having a desired joint shape. U.S. Patent No. 5,722,160 describes a packaging method for forming solder bumps through vias. In both methods, it is necessary to form a ball on at least one surface to be joined. The solder ball is described to flow through the material and then flow on the corresponding pad. The conventional method of using solder beads to form solder bumps has certain disadvantages. In addition to the high investment cost of complex picking and placement technology, the cost of the beads itself is also high. ”In addition, a large number of beads need to be familiar with the vacuum picking and placement system to function properly. Bead on the machine. As a result, the waste is extremely high for the production of small-volume assembly shells of many different types of packages, and because the beads are easily contaminated, they become non-conductive and cannot be reused. In addition, the small size of the bead itself makes it difficult to handle. Even a small amount of air movement or substrate movement may affect the preparation position of the bead before flowing on the substrate again, resulting in poor yield. All these factors have contributed to the high cost of producing devices with solder bumps such as BGA. The paper size is described in Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 (210X297 male thin). &Quot; 装 — / | \ CPlease read first Note on the back ¾ Please fill in this page again}, τ Jing spear's sample clip Λ only.

Description of the invention (2) Purpose of the invention H Θ < Purpose To provide a method for producing solder bumps from solder I * Another object of the present invention is to provide a method for producing a plurality of solder bumps on a substrate with a uniform predetermined height. This month has another purpose-to produce solder bumps at low cost. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The invention provides a method for producing solder bumps from solder. According to one aspect of the present invention, the solder t is heated by a laser beam for reflow. If supplied for the semiconductor Η 18 or package, the solder f preferably takes into account the defined volume on each 1/0 ,, and the resulting bumps have a uniform height. According to another aspect of the present invention, the cream application and reflow steps can be performed in the same system, thereby eliminating the step of transferring the substrate from one station to another. In the preferred embodiment, a template is provided to assist in the application of a solder axe with a defined volume and height. The laser beam is then directly irradiated next to the solder ', preferably an unmoved template. According to another aspect of the present invention, an extra stencil is placed on top and the protective template is not exposed to the laser beam. Using this method can eliminate solder beads and reflow ovens, and the associated steps of transferring substrates to the oven from the pick and place system, thereby reducing costs. Brief description of the formula Figure 1.4 is a schematic illustration of an imaginary example of the present invention; Figure 1B is a longitudinal sectional view of the time when the squeegee sweeps the plant across the base village; Figure 2 is another view of the present invention Figure 3 is a schematic illustration of a specific example; Figure 3 is a flow chart showing the steps of the specific method shown in Figure 1. The paper standards are quickly used in China National Standard (CNS) A4 specifications (210X297 meters) A7 B7 Good " —Ministry Central " Zhun Er hT Consumer Cooperation Private Printing 51 Invention Description (3) Figure 4 is a flowchart showing the method according to the example shown in Figure 2-each step is issued "explain the conventional solder Paste application methods such as surface bonding generally involve the use of stencils. For example, solder paste can be applied to the surface of a substrate such as a printed circuit board using a stencil. Then the 1C package is placed on the board and the leads are on the solder paste, and the overall assembly is reflowed The packaging body is bonded to the board. Possible template technology can also be used to produce solder bumps. Solder paste is applied to the substrate β using a he plate, and then the template is removed and the substrate is transferred to a reflow container. But the aforementioned conventional PCB type The board method is not suitable for the direct production of solder bumps such as 〇Α Package / This method cannot reliably produce bumps with uniform height. This is an important requirement for BGA packages because the removal of the stencil before the reflow step inevitably causes some solder paste to adhere to the stencil. , Resulting in a change in the actual amount of reflowed solder paste. As a result, the height of the bumps has changed, which is unacceptable for many types of packaging. In another variation, the template remains on the substrate after the solder paste is applied. The material is used to perform the oven reflow step inside the template. However, this technology will lead to the need for numerous templates because the assembly line of the oven reflow step from the paste application step is quite long. In addition, different sealing bodies require different templates. The method further increases the cost of the tool. The present invention solves the aforementioned problem by providing a method for reflowing solder paste using laser technology. 9 The technology is simple and cost-effective, and can eliminate the oven used for the conventional reflow method. Uniform bump array requires the application of solder paste with a properly defined volume. The volume of this solder paste must be uniformly high when reflow is complete. Degree solder bumps.

The laser head combines the solder axe application or printing steps together into a system, so laser reflow occurs just after the solder paste application step without the need for a transfer step. After the solder paste printing step, the substrate is held at the printing position for laser reflow. In this way, only a small number of modification plates are required for each type of package of each laser head. The laser beam can be obtained by the conventional laser head such as Qin : Contains B_ming_Shi Meishi (Nd: YAG) laser. If a single head is used, the reflow can be sequentially from one template hole to another. If multiple heads are used, the reflow can be advanced by a row of holes. To another row of holes. Useful applications of the present invention include the production of bumps on B (3A packages and wafers. These applications are designed to place solder paste on a 1/0 pad of a substrate and form bumps for electrical connection. For the purpose of this description, substrates and substrates including semiconductor packages such as ceramics, bismaleimide trihydrazide (BT) tapes also include M® surfaces.

Description of the invention (5): 1. Chenglong block, preferably without first removing the type board. Then part of the spherical bumps are allowed to cool and then the template is removed. This prevents the defined volume of solder paste from being disturbed before reflow and eliminates the problem of sticking the solder axe to the template. A good material for the template is stainless steel or any other material that can withstand the heat of the reflow process and does not easily adhere to the solder paste during the reflow process, such as a chromium oxide coating. This allows the mold to easily leave after reflow, because the metal such as stainless steel and chromium oxide is not easy to form an intermetallic bond with the solder paste. The thickness of the pattern plate is preferably thicker than that used in the typical surface bonding technology (s τ), because the paste volume used by SMT only assists the welding of the device to the plate and does not represent the formation of bumps. The thickness of the stencil of the present invention is proportional to the expected size of the bump after reflow, and can be determined by those skilled in the art without undue experimentation. For example, for 0.2 micron diameter bumps, a 02-〇3 mm template can be used, with a preferred range of 0.2-0.25 mm. The solder paste contains water-based flux or no cleaning flux is required. If a water-based melt is used, a conventional washing step can be used after the reflow step. Fig. 2 shows another specific example of the present invention. This specific example is similar to FIG. 1 except that a stencil 32 is added with a drilled hole 34 corresponding to the pattern hole. The use of the plate is to prevent the surface of the template from contacting the laser beam, because there may be residual welding science above it. This prevents the reflow of the residual solder paste from the surface of the template, which can extend the life of the template. Figures 3 and 4 show the preferred steps for these two specific examples. The use of a template for the reflow process also has the advantage of preventing bridging between the bumps, especially when the distance between the cushions is small. The presence of the pattern prevents the melt from flowing away from the pad and forms a generally spherical bump in the pattern hole.
