Abstract:
A semiconductor device (1) comprising electrodes formed on a semiconductor chip (2) and bumps (3) which consist of a low melting point metal ball spherically formed and having a given size and which are adhesive bonded to the electrodes (5). The electrodes (5) are formed from an electrode material of Cu or a Cu alloy, Al or an Al alloy, or Au or a Au alloy. When the electrode material is composed of Al or an Al alloy, the electrodes contain, on the electrode material layer of Al or an Al alloy, at least one layer (6) composed of a metal or metal alloy (preferably a metal selected from Ti, W, Ni, Cr, Au, Pd, Cu, Pt, Ag, Sn or Pb, or an alloy of these metals) having a melting point higher than the electrode material. The low melting point metal balls (3) are adhesive bonded to the electrodes (5) preferably with a flux. The low melting point metal balls (3) adhesive bonded to the respective electrodes (3) may also be reflowed to form semispherical bumps (10) before use.
Abstract:
A method and device for supplying flux by which flux (6) can be supplied appropriately to an electrode section (2) of electronic parts (1) containing a semiconductor chip and a printed circuit board. The device is provided with a discharge nozzle (10) having a means which discharges the flux (6) in drops and the flux (6) is discharged in drops from the nozzle (10) and adhered to the electrode section (2) by a required amount. The discharge nozzle (10) of another device of this invention is provided with a continuously exciting means (23) which discharges the flux (6) in a continuous jet while the means (23) excites part of the flux (6), a splitting means (21) which splits the discharged continuous jet into a uniform particle train, and an electrifying means (22) which controls the direction of the jet by electrifying the uniform particle train so as to adhere the flux (6) to the electrode section (2) by a required amount.
Abstract:
A ball arranging substrate is provided with a substrate having a main surface and a plurality of arranging holes for holding fine conductive balls by suction formed on the main surface at the positions corresponding to the electrodes of a semiconductor element, circuit board, etc. At the time of optically discriminating the normal/abnormal condition of the arranging state of the fine conductive balls from the light reflected from the ball arranging surface of the substrate on which the balls are held by suction by irradiating the ball arranging surface with light, the wavelength of the irradiating light is set within the range of 300-900 nm and, at the same time, the reflectance of the ball arranging surface to the light is set at
Abstract:
A carrier for deposition of microorganisms, comprising a web W1 comprising a first fiber of a polyolefin resin and a second fiber of a polyolefin resin having a melting temperature below that of the first fiber, and a nonwoven fabric f1 as a base layer, wherein the web W1 is adhered to the nonwoven fabric f1 by means of needle punching and the first fiber and the second fiber are mutually bound by taking advantage of melting of the second fiber with the first fiber bound to the nonwoven fabric f1. According to this carrier, the separation of the first fiber contributing to the deposition of microorganisms can be prevented, and at the same time gathering of the web by means of needle punching can be prevented with the aid of the nonwoven fabric f1, eliminating a variation in weight.
Abstract:
Specific portions to be plated are easily selected and the plating material quantity is arbitrarily controlled with a high precision. After minute metal balls (24) are arranged in a via-hole part (22) of a TAB tape (21) and bonded or joined to it, the minute metal balls (24) are melted to coat a copper wiring (23) which is exposed from the via-hole part of the TAB tape (21) with different type of metal selectively. With this constitution, the specific portions of an electronic component board can be partially plated easily with a high precision.
Abstract:
A method and device for forming bumps composed of very small metallic balls on electrodes of semiconductor chips, printed board, etc. A first invention is such that a vacuum chamber for vacuum clamping is divided into a plurality of divisions and the clamping/releasing are controlled for each division so as to prevent balls from being clamped to an array board in aggregates. Partition walls are provided in the vacuum chamber. A second invention is such that cut-off sections are provided in an edge portion of the array board so as to prevent bumps already formed from being pressed against the board again. A third invention is such that a bump forming device which hold only one ball is disclosed. A forth invention is such that bumps are formed at once on two or more diced semiconductor chips. A fifth invention is such that an optimum amount range of very small metallic balls are accurately supplied to a container. A sixth invention is such that two or more balls excessively arranged on one suction hole of the array board are reliably detected.
