Abstract
With a pick-up tool with a suction organ made of elastically deformable material, a surface for picking the semiconductor chip is formed convex. On placing the semiconductor chip onto an already mounted semiconductor chip the centre of the semiconductor chip impacts first. The convex surface is increasingly deformed as a result of the pressure build-up until it and the picked semiconductor chip are flat. The pressure builds up from the centre of the suction organ outwards. In doing so, the semiconductor chip is rolled onto the lower semiconductor chip, whereby the air can continuously escape.
Claims9
A pick-up tool for mounting semiconductor chips, comprising
- a shaft, and
- a suction organ coupled to the shaft, the suction organ being made of elastically deformable material and comprising a surface for picking a semiconductor chip, said surface being formed convex.
A method for mounting a second semiconductor chip onto a first semiconductor chip, whereby a back of the second semiconductor chip is coated with an adhesive film, comprising the steps of:
- deforming the second semiconductor chip into a convex shape;
- placing the second semiconductor chip onto the first semiconductor chip;
- and
- returning the second semiconductor chip to its normal shape during the final phase of placement.
