1. Definition
Semiconductor reflow soldering is a process technology that forms electrical connections on semiconductor chips. It melts and flows solder under heating conditions so that the pins on the chip are connected to the plates on the PCB. It can be used to package, assemble and connect semiconductor chips, surface mount components, etc.
2. Principle
The principle of reflow soldering is mainly based on factors such as heat distribution, temperature control and solder properties. During the reflow process, solder is first placed between the chip and the PCB, and then the entire structure is heated in the oven. The temperature controller of the oven will adjust the temperature according to the preset temperature profiler to ensure temperature stability and uniformity throughout the process.
When solder is exposed to enough heat, it is melted and flows, filling the gaps between the chip pins and the PCB. After cooling, the solder solidifies and forms a reliable electrical connection. In order to ensure the quality of the connection, the properties of the solder are also very important. It needs to have appropriate melting point, wettability, fluidity and other characteristics.
3. Equipment
Semiconductor reflow soldering equipment is the core part of the reflow soldering process. Its purpose is to form a reliable electrical connection between the chip and the PCB by heating and melting the solder. Its main processes are:
a. Reflow the solder paste printed on the bump metal surface into a ball shape to complete the solder ball and PCB soldering;
b. After the chip is mounted on the integrated PCB, the chip and PCB are connected together to realize chip packaging and integrated PCB manufacturing.
During this process, you need to pay attention to the following points:
a. Control the temperature and heating time of the heating zone to prevent thermal damage and solder oxidation.
b. Control the shape and size of solder joints to meet mechanical and electrical performance requirements.
c. Minimize the thermal shock to components and prevent component damaged.
d. Control production rhythm and output to improve production efficiency.
e. Ensure the cleanliness of the production environment and avoid the impact of dust and pollutants on soldering quality.
