Mixing apparatus for mixing bonding adhesive at die bonder before dispense

摘要

A moveable dispenser assembly including is shown. The dispenser includes a reservoir having bonding adhesive therein including particles and a liquid carrier. The dispenser is moved to provide agitation to the dispenser for mixing the bonding adhesive into a homogeneous mixture of particles and the liquid carrier. An opening at an end of said dispenser dispenses the bonding adhesive onto a bonding location on the workpiece without removing the dispenser from the die attach apparatus. A one controller for sends a control signal that triggers moving of said moveable dispenser assembly for mixing said bonding adhesive before dispensing said volume of bonding adhesive onto said surface of said workpiece. The controller includes logic to control of movements such as oscillations to keep the bonding adhesive well mixed based on a comparing a parameter to be in a predetermined limit or range.

1. A die bonding apparatus, comprising:
an oscillating moveable dispenser assembly including at least one dispenser having a reservoir for holding a bonding adhesive comprising particles and a fluid carrier, said dispenser for dispensing a volume of said bonding adhesive onto a surface of a workpiece in said bonding location; an opening at an end of said dispenser for dispensing said bonding adhesive to said surface of said workpiece for attaching an integrated circuit (IC) die, and at least one controller for sending a control signal that triggers moving of said moveable dispenser assembly for mixing said bonding adhesive before dispensing said volume of bonding adhesive onto said surface of said workpiece, said controller including logic to periodically control of oscillating movements to keep the bonding adhesive well mixed based on a comparing a parameter to be in a predetermined limit or range, said logic for instructing said at least one controller to:
compare a parameter to a predetermined limit or range;periodically oscillate said dispenser to provide mechanical agitation to said dispenser for mixing keeping said bonding adhesive in a homogeneous mixture of said particles and said liquid carrier if said parameter is outside said predetermined limit or range.
