and 5: when the oxide layer on the surface of the indium column is completely reduced and the indium column is melted into liquid indium balls, slowly cooling, stopping cooling to a preset temperature range, and keeping for a preset time in a vacuum environment to solidify the indium balls into solid state;
step 6: and pressing the upper indium columns and the lower indium columns at a preset pressure to complete pressing.
In a specific embodiment, vacuum interconnection equipment is needed, at present, a mainstream pressing method based on the vacuum interconnection equipment is cold-press welding, and a reflow soldering process technology is still not mature due to a plurality of influencing factors and complicated steps. In the embodiment, the reflow soldering process and the cold soldering process are combined, so that the reflow soldering and laminating effect is basically achieved, the process difficulty and the complexity of steps are greatly reduced, and the method is a simple, high-reliability and high-yield new process method. The detailed process steps are as follows:
the first step is as follows: taking out the target device, wherein the target device is a chip, and performing microscopic examination by using a body type microscope, wherein the body type microscope is an analytical instrument used in the field of biology. If dirt is found, cleaning with a cotton swab and a blade under a body microscope; the stereomicroscope is required to be magnified to 200 times, the cotton swab is a dust-free cotton swab, the blade must be wiped by dipping alcohol through dust-free cloth before being cleaned, and the step can ensure that the surface of the device has no dirt which can affect the backward welding precision and no excess which can affect the pressing process.
The second step is that: after the surface of the target device is cleaned, mounting the target device to a position corresponding to equipment; similarly, in order to ensure the surface cleanliness of the device, the transition vacuum chuck, the chuck clamping groove and the mechanical arm of the equipment are required to be thoroughly cleaned by dipping alcohol and nitrogen before being mounted.
The third step: and an operation device for moving the base to which the circuit is attached, the robot arm to which the target device is attached, and the optical microscope for alignment to a specified position.
The fourth step: the cross cursor sent by the optical microscope is used for leveling and aligning the target device and the circuit, so that the indium column surfaces of the circuit and the target device are adjusted to be parallel, and the subsequent pressing quality is ensured.
The fifth step: the imaging of the upper microscope and the lower microscope on the operation screen is utilized to carry out high-precision horizontal alignment on the indium columns of the target device and the circuit, so that the dislocation of the indium columns in the pressing process is avoided.
And a sixth step: and slowly moving the mechanical arm down to a preset height, slowly extending out the vacuum cover in the mechanical arm, perfectly connecting the vacuum cover with the vacuum cover extending out of the base to form a closed cavity, opening a vacuum switch, exhausting for 3-5 min, and providing a vacuum working environment for the device.
The seventh step: and heating a target device in the closed processing chamber to 160-200 ℃, introducing mixed gas of nitrogen and formic acid for 3-5 min, wherein the heating process is slow, and the flow rate of the mixed gas of nitrogen and formic acid is slow, so as to reduce the oxidized dielectric layer on the surface of the indium column and melt the indium column into bright indium balls.
Eighth step: and closing a pipeline for introducing nitrogen and formic acid, slowly cooling the device to 130-150 ℃, and keeping for 20-30 min, so as to cool the indium balls and solidify the indium balls into a solid state.
The ninth step: slowly moving the mechanical arm downwards, operating equipment, carrying out a pressing procedure, and pressing with the pressure of 0.1-1 kg; at the moment, the temperature of the device is 130-150 ℃, and the temperature is very close to the melting point of metal indium, so that the indium balls are in a solid state but in a very soft state, and only need to be pressed by small pressure.
It should be noted that, as shown in fig. 2, the temperature curve of the whole pressing process changes cold pressing at normal temperature or reflow soldering with indium column melting point above 156 ℃ in the prior art, and 130-150 ℃ is used as the temperature of the target device and the ambient temperature of the pressing, so that a process softer than cold welding and better welding effect can be achieved without facing a complicated process of pressing liquid metal.
In addition, as shown in fig. 3, the pressure curve of the whole pressing process overcomes the defects that in the prior art, the pressing temperature of the cold-press welding process is low, although the metal indium is soft in texture, the preset hardness still exists, so that the required pressure during cold-press welding is large, generally between 30 kg and 80kg, under such large pressure, the indium columns are easily uncontrollably and greatly deformed to cause dislocation between the upper indium column and the lower indium column, even adjacent indium columns are contacted, so that the technical problem of short circuit of corresponding pixels is caused. In the embodiment, the indium columns are pressed at the temperature of 130-150 ℃ by using the pressure of 0.1-1 kg, so that a very good pressing effect is obtained, abnormal phenomena such as dislocation and huge deformation do not occur between the indium columns, the chip and the circuit are firmly bonded, and the chip and the circuit have mechanical reliability.
In summary, the embodiments of the present invention provide a device flip-chip bonding method, in which a target device is mounted on a mechanical arm of an apparatus; horizontally aligning the target device with the circuit on the base by the upper indium column array and the lower indium column array; moving the vacuum cover downwards to form a closed processing chamber; heating the device in the closed processing chamber to a preset temperature, introducing mixed gas of nitrogen and formic acid to reach a preset time, and reducing an oxide layer on the surface of the indium column; and when the oxide layer on the surface of the indium column is completely reduced and the indium column is melted into liquid indium balls, slowly cooling, stopping cooling to a preset temperature range, keeping for a preset time in a vacuum environment to solidify the indium balls into solid, and pressing the upper and lower indium columns at a preset pressure to complete pressing.
