DEVICE AND METHOD FOR APPLYING ADHESIVE MATERIAL ONTO PLANAR COMPONENTS AND THE USE THEREOF

摘要

The invention relates to a device and a method for applying adhesive material onto planar components such as substrates, semiconductor chips or the like. The invention is characterised in that a sieve element (3) is arranged in the area of the adhesive bed surface. The openings of said sieve element (3) allow the adhesive material to pass through. The adhesive bed (2) and the sieve element are configured or co-operate in such a way that only a limited amount of adhesive passes the sieve element before, during or after the component is placed in order to moisten the supporting surface thereof. The invention also relates to methods for applying adhesive material onto planar components. When a component is placed, the sieve element is dug into the adhesive bed in such a way that the adhesive material is transported through the openings of the sieve element (3) and that the supporting surface (7) of the placed component is moistened or that the sieve element is arranged in the adhesive bed in such a way that adhesive material is transported onto the surface of the sieve element. Said adhesive material moistens the supporting surfaces of the components which are situated on the surface of the sieve element (3) or are to be placed onto said sieve element (3).
