The invention provides a method and apparatus for aligning a substrate. The apparatus comprises a ball pick head for picking up a plurality of solder balls in a ball pick-up process and depositing them onto the substrate, and a vision system adapted to view and obtain positional information of the substrate. Furthermore, a carrier is provided to which the vision system is mountable, such that operation of the vision system is decoupled from movement of the ball pick head. Drivers responsive to said positional information viewed by the vision system are operative to align at least the substrate and the ball pick head for depositing solder balls onto the substrate.

A method for testing soldering quality is provided for determining the solder quality of pins, leads, a connector or an electronic component mounted on a circuit board. A soldering contact, soldered to the circuit board, is enclosed by melted solder during soldering and generate a different color from that before soldering. The color difference allows the soldering quality of the soldering contact to be determined by visual inspection and prevents inferior products from entering subsequent fabrication processes, thereby improving the soldering reliability.

A welding apparatus includes a workpiece housing having a window therethrough and having a welding access therethrough for a welder to an interior of the workpiece housing. The workpiece housing is metallic with a heat insulation on an internal surface thereof. A lamp heat source is directed through the window and at the workpiece in the interior of the workpiece housing. A gas source delivers a controllable flow of a shielding gas to the interior of the workpiece housing. A temperature sensor senses a temperature of the workpiece within the interior of the workpiece housing. A feedback controller controls the power to the lamp heat source responsive to the temperature of the workpiece. To perform welding, the workpiece is placed into the interior of the workpiece housing so as to have its temperature sensed by the temperature sensor, and the gas source is operated to envelope the workpiece in the shielding gas. The workpiece is heated by powering the lamp heat source responsive to a setpoint input and to the temperature of the workpiece. The workpiece is welded using a welder operating through the welding access.

The ball attach step of grid array (BGA) devices requires precise control of the ball shape and height. All balls must have identical height within tight tolerances, to assure proper soldering to the PC board. Solution: A mechanism is proposed, involving a CCD camera, image processing system, and a specific optical setup to inspect the balls in a complete three-dimensional view to the camera. This-involves a dedicated micro-mirror module and an illumination arrangement. The ball XY position is measured in direct view, and the ball height is measured in the image from the micro mirrors. The camera can be either a standard video device, a very high resolution array camera, or even a line scan camera.

The present invention provides a high-precision method for evaluating creep damage of high tension heat resistant steel used in high temperature exposing apparatuses comprising comparing particle size behavior varying with creep damage progress of crystal grains having a crystal orientation difference of about 2 degrees or more, preferably 3 degrees or more at an evaluated part on the basis of a working curve or a working map prepared in advance by looking for the relation of grain sizes to creep damage extents, and also provides a high-precision apparatus for evaluating creep damage of high tension heat resistant steel used in high temperature exposing apparatuses comprising a measuring means for measuring particle size variation behavior of crystal grains or sub grains having a crystal orientation difference of about 2 degrees or more with regard to a specimen at the evaluated part of high tension heat resistant steel and a working curve or a working map prepared in advance by looking for the relation of the grain sizes with respect to the creep damage extents (including creep damage rates) at every level of loaded stress wherein a creep damage extent is evaluated by comparing the grain size variation behavior measured by the measuring means with a working curve or a working map selected on the basis of a loaded stress.

To offer a semiconductor light-emitting device capable of preventing a short circuit failure caused by adhesion of the solder, change of a beam shape, and decrease of a beam output. A semiconductor laser device 1 is manufactured by overlaying a laser tip having a p-side electrode and a n-side electrode in a crystalline substrate and a mounting plate having a first solder film and a second solder film in a supporting body. The laser tip has a level difference A such that the p-side electrode is projected beyond the n-side electrode. The mounting plate has a level difference B such that the first solder film is projected beyond the second solder film. The level difference B of the mounting plate is determined as higher than the level difference A of the laser tip. Therefore, when the mounting plate is overlaid to the laser tip, first, the n-side electrode contacts with the second solder film, and then, the p-side electrode contacts the first solder film. Accordingly, even if the solder is squeezed out in the vicinity of the n-side electrode, the solder is hardly squeezed out in the vicinity of the p-side electrode. The pn junction part is generally positioned in the vicinity of the p-side electrode, which controls the solder to adhesion to the pn junction part.

The present invention (FIG. 1) relates to a new method for brazing a connecting piece of electrically conducting material, for example of metal, to a metal surface by means of a new type of temperature-controlled brazing whereby for certain types of material, for example steel, a martensite-free brazing is obtained, i.e. a brazing without deleterious structural changes (martensite formation). A brazing is obtained that is completely free of martensite underneath the brazed joint in for example railway track and/or pipework. The invention also relates to an arrangement for carrying out the said method.

A method for designing a weld fixture. The method includes modeling a set of distortions produced by applied mechanical forces on a material to be welded, modeling a set of distortions produced by applied thermal forces on the material to be welded, determining a set of reaction forces at a series of locations on a simulated weld fixture as a function of the modeled distortions, and designing a weld fixture as a function of the set of reaction forces.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for protecting the stored information on an integrated circuit from being compromised through reverse engineering. To do so, the method and apparatus splits the functionality of an integrated circuit into two separate integrated circuits, which are then connected in an interlocking manner. A detection circuit monitors the interconnection of the two separate integrated circuits. Upon detection of a break in the interconnection of the two circuits, the detection circuit destroys the data stored in the two separate integrated circuits. The two integrated circuits are connected in a flip-chip fashion, thereby preventing access to the underlying conduction paths and charge storage sites which are normally used in reverse engineering an integrated circuit.
