Apparatus for aligning and soldering multiple electrode pedestals to the solderable ohmic contacts of semiconductor components

摘要

An apparatus for aligning and soldering electrode pedestals to the solderable ohmic contacts of individual semiconductor components formed by an undivided silicon wafer. The apparatus includes a soldering assembly for receiving the undivided silicon wafer and for temporarily retaining the electrode pedestals in alignment on the silicon wafer during the soldering of the pedestals to the ohmic contacts; a pedestal mask which is placed over the undivided silicon wafer and which aligns individual pedestals over the ohmic contacts of the silicon wafer; and a shaker apparatus coupled to said soldering base plate for distributing the electrode pedestals to each of the ohmic contacts.
