Soldering device and method with low bubble generation rate for semiconductor packaging
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of semiconductor packaging, in particular to a soldering device and a soldering method with low bubble generation rate for semiconductor packaging.
Background
In packaging a semiconductor device, solder joints are formed by heating solder paste to melt, connecting a solder element to a substrate, and cooling. Then, in the semiconductor packaging process of SMT surface mounting or solder paste technology, more cavities are formed in the welding spots, and the performance of the welding spots is greatly affected.
The bubble is generated because the solder paste is a paste formed by stirring the soldering flux and the solder alloy powder, the soldering flux is prepared by blending an active agent, a solvent, rosin and the like, vaporization temperature points of various components of the soldering flux are different, the soldering flux is vaporized in the heating process, part of the soldering flux overflows from gaps of alloy particles after being gasified before the solder paste is liquefied, when the solder paste is heated to a melting point temperature, surface tension is generated after the surface of the solder paste is liquefied, and part of small bubbles cannot destroy the surface tension due to insufficient pressure, so that the small bubbles are sealed inside a welding spot, and a cavity is formed.
At present, a ① vacuum bubble removal method is generally adopted for reducing bubbles generated in the melting process of the solder paste, wherein the pressure difference between the internal bubbles and the outside is enlarged in a vacuumizing mode in the melting process of the solder paste, so that the bubbles break the surface tension and overflow welding spots to reduce the cavity rate, ② gas phase reflow soldering is carried out, namely a vapor reflow (soldering) area with good heat transfer performance and no oxygen is formed by heating gas phase liquid, so that the gas in the welding spots is fully volatilized in the reflow process, and ③ no soldering flux is added. The vacuum bubble removal method can lengthen the production takt by about 3 times, and the bonding pad with the pin smaller than 0.4p ith is easy to be connected with tin for short circuit, and other two modes have the defects of low production efficiency and high production cost.
