Abstract:
The method and the device serve for soldering of workpieces, namely of pc boards and substrates, which are equipped with chip component parts and/or microelements and/or assemblies comprised thereof. Such boards are passed through a main solder bath or at least one main solder wave, and the workpiece is contacted with the surface of the wave. The solder wave has an imaginary break edge 2, i.e., a break edge at which the solder loses the contact with the workpiece in connection with an unwettable workpiece. The imaginary break edge 2 of the soldering device 1 extends not in a straight line and, viewed in the direction of conveyance 3, has at least one diminution 4, i.e., two edge parts ending in a point, i.e., the edges form a triangle.
Abstract:
An apparatus for automatically removing electronic components mounted on printed circuit boards has a lighting device for illuminating the printed circuit boards, an optical sensor, an image processing systems and various devices for removing the electronic components therefrom. The image processing system recognizes the coordinates of the contours and, preferably, also the types of components from the output signals supplied by the optical sensor and controls the device for removing the electronic components. Alternatively, the contours of the electronic components are recognized by infrared radiation. Additionally, a process is disclosed for removing the electronic components from printed circuit boards using the disclosed apparatus.
Abstract:
A method of applying bonding agents, such as solder pastes and conductive adhesives, to pad sites in the manufacture of electronic circuits uses a paste injection head. A permanent mask with cavity openings is applied around conductive pads on a carrier. The conductive pads correspond to chip attachment sites. The injection head is brought into contact with a surface of the mask, and pressure is applied to a bonding agent in the injection head. The injection head is then moved over the surface of the mask, filling cavity openings with the bonding agent. The injection head is then removed from the surface of the mask. If a solder paste is used, infrared radiation is applied to filled cavity openings to evaporate a paste flux and reflow solder to form solder balls within the cavity openings projecting above the mask. If a conductive adhesive is used, a stencil is applied to the surface of the mask prior to contacting the mask with said injection head. When the cavity openings are filled, stencil is removed from the mask and the conductive adhesive filling the cavity openings is dried.

The flux is applied at an application station, dried at a drying station and soldered at a soldering station.
Abstract:
Oxide films, and residues of organic matters, carbons, if any, are removed from a metal surface simply without using complicated steps and without giving adverse effects on electronic parts or electronic devices by irradiating the metal surface with a laser beam of lower energy level than energy capable of changing the metal surface structure, thereby cleaning the metal surface.
Abstract:
A method is provided for wire bonding an aluminum wire to a surface of a lead of an electronics package. The method entails a nickel plating process and an ultrasonic bonding process which together cooperate to form a reliable and highly repeatable joint between the wire and the lead member. The ultrasonic bonding process is specifically tailored to the nickel plating produced by the plating process, so as to significantly enhance the bond strength of the resulting ultrasonic bond joint. The plating process is devised to produce a nickel plating which is thicker than that generally practiced, and whose surface is characterized as having a relatively smooth microfinish which unexpectedly serves to enhance the bond strength of the ultrasonic bond joint.
Abstract:
A wire bonding apparatus and method which enable fully automatic wire bonding between a connecting electrode on a circuit board and an external lead terminal while saving space to prevent enlargement of the package size. The wire bonding method has the steps of welding one end of a ribbon shaped flat copper wire to the terminal (external lead terminal); welding the other end of the copper wire to the pad (connecting electrode) which is disposed at a level below the level of the terminal, while turning the intermediate portion of the copper wire on and around the cylindrical portion of the forming member which is disposed at a level above the terminal within the horizontal span between the pad and the terminal; and depressing the bent portion of the copper wire which has been bent by being turned around the cylindrical portion of the forming member down to a level below the level of the terminal so that the copper wire, within the vertical span between the pad and the terminal, is bent to form the first acute bend and then bent back to form the second acute bend and then extended to the pad.
Abstract:
The copper or its alloys can be bonded to each other or can be bonded to noble metals or to other metals whose surface is covered with a noble metal thin film in an oxidative atmosphere. The surface of the copper or its alloys to be bonded should be covered with the layer of a noble metal thin film or a metal oxide remover or a conductive paste mainly consisting of a copper or copper alloy particles and the metal oxide remover. This method can be applied to a metallurgical industry and also to an electronics industry. This method is especially suitable for the production of a multilayered printed wiring board.
Abstract:
A method for bonding a solder wire is provided wherein a lower ball end of a material solder wire is first bonded to a first bonding portion of a workpiece. Then, the material solder wire is thermally cut to provide a solder wire segment held bonded to the first bonding portion and having an upper ball end. Finally, the upper ball end is bonded to a second bonding portion of the workpiece. All of the wire bonding process steps are performed in an oxygen-free atmosphere to prevent oxidation of the solder wire.
