Abstract:
In this invention, a designed value of a lead width is previously input and a bonding load suitable for the designed lead width is previously input before the step of continuously bonding a TAB tape on a semiconductor chip is effected. Next, the TAB tape and chip are carried to preset positions, and after recognition of the positions of the tape and chip and the alignment of the tape and chip by use of a CCD camera are completed, the inner lead width is actually measured by use of the CCD camera. The measured lead width is compared with the designed lead width, and when a difference therebetween exceeds a preset reference value, the bonding load is changed to a bonding load suitable for the measured lead width of the lead to be actually bonded based on the ratio of the measured lead width to the designed lead width and then the bonding operation is effected by the suitable bonding load.

Abstract:
An automatic soldering apparatus for soldering a printed circuit board having a plurality of electronic parts mounted thereon to be soldered while it is transported through a heating chamber having an inert gas fill therein is provided. The apparatus has a first station provided with a first opening for receiving the printed circuit board into the heating chamber and a second station provided with a second opening for removing the soldered printed circuit board from the heating chamber. Further, the apparatus has a supply of an inert gas and nozzles provided in the first and second stations. The inert gas is jetted through the nozzles toward the first and second openings, when required, so as to prevent outside air from flowing into the heating chamber.
Abstract:
A laser beam is directed toward a rotating metallic tube having a fin helically wound about and welded to its surface by a high frequency welding process. The laser beam generates heat in the tube to supplement the heat induced by resistance to electrical current flow to create a proper temperature in the tube for forge welding of the fin and tube.
Abstract:
A soldering process and apparatus for soldering difficult to reach junctions. Small containers, just large enough to accommodate the junctions are filled to overflowing from a pot of liquid solder. Once filled the flow of solder is terminated and the junction dipped into the container. The meniscus on the liquid solder in the container establishes a consistent level enabling a mechanized process to dip the junctions the same depth each time. Between dips the container is refilled. The size of the container limits the exposure of other adjacent devices to the heat of the solder and also provides a limited quantity of solder to the junction thus providing a consistent soldered connection.
Abstract:
A solder paste composition containing (a) 4-96% by weight finely divided particles of eutectic or pseudo-eutectic metal alloy or mixtures; (b) 96-4% by weight finely divided particles of a metal additive consisting of pure metal, mixtures or alloys thereof having a melting point of at least 30.degree. C. greater than the metal alloy in (a); and (c) an organic medium. The paste is particularly useful for surface mounting metallized components to metallized substrates in microelectronic packaging.
Abstract:
A method is provided for soldering using tin-containing solder to substrate surfaces that are gold plated wherein a selected portion of the gold plated surface is treated by impacting with a high velocity stream of fine nickel containing abrasive particles to remove all the gold from the treated surface and then effecting joining to the treated surface by conventional soldering techniques.
