  • Patent number: 6705505
    Abstract: A soldering system which reduces the numbers of steps for paste supply and soldering onto a printed circuit board. A printed circuit board has through holes through which a lead of each provided part is to be inserted. A printing mask is matched with the through holes and a paste receiving plate having holes to which solder paste is supplied corresponding to the through holes is disposed. A printing roller is swept by forcibly rotating it to fill with solder paste, then a printing squeegee follows the printing roller to further fill through holes. Parts are loaded on the through holes and reflowing is carried out on the printed circuit board and paste receiving plate, so that the parts are soldered to the printed circuit board.

  • Patent number: 6423405
    Abstract: There is disclosed a surface reformation method of a high polymer material such that by irradiating and excimer-laser beam to only a predetermined area in which electronic parts and the like are temporarily immobilized by a liquid on a substrate which has a high polymer layer on the surface, wettability of the liquid for temporary immobilization only with respect to the predetermined area is improved. After the electronic parts are temporarily immobilized on the substrate by using the method, the electronic parts can be soldered with preferable durability by a fluxess reflow soldering.

  • Patent number: 6406357
    Abstract: A surface of a wafer (semiconductor substrate) is subjected to grinding by rotating it and bringing it into contact with a rotating grinding wheel. The grinding wheel is rotated in a first direction at a rotating speed N1. The wafer is rotated in a second direction which is opposite to the first direction at a rotating speed N2, wherein a value of N2/N1 is in the range of 0.006 to 0.025. The wafer is then carried from the grinding process to a dicing process while being maintained in a horizontal position by using a wafer handling jig to prevent the breakage of the wafer. A flash etching process may also be used at the end of the grinding process.

  • Patent number: 6340109
    Abstract: A work having a number of solder bumps on a substrate is mounted on a work positioning mechanism, and scanned by an optical micro head to measure errors of a mount posture of the work. Each stage is controlled to correct the errors, and thereafter, the apex positions of the bumps are scanned and measured. The measurement results are collected by a personal computer, and the measurement results together with control data of each axis are sent to a main personal computer and displayed on its screen. An error of an apex position of each bump from a regression plane is calculated, and if the error is smaller than a reference value, the work is judged to be good.

  • Patent number: 6137687
    Abstract: In a method for manufacturing a printed circuit board, this printed circuit board can be manufactured by executing a simple manufacturing step within a short time period at in low cost without requiring a complex manufacturing process. A conductive material is pattern-printed on a base board and the printed conductive material is hardened to form a first conductor layer. Subsequently, an insulating material is pattern-printed on the first conductor layer, and the printed insulating material is hardened to thereby form a first insulating layer. A manufacturing step similar to the above-described step is repeatedly performed to thereby form a second conductor layer, a second insulating layer, and a third conductor layer. Furthermore, a manufacturing step similar to the above-explained step is repeatedly performed, so that a printed circuit board having a multi-conductor layer can be manufactured.

  • Patent number: 6069701
    Abstract: A method and an apparatus for measuring the height of an apex of an object with high accuracy without influence of the surface state of the object are disclosed. Correlation coefficients of respective positions of a waveform formed from digital data indicative of the height of the object detected by a head portion of a detector and a previously prepared standard waveform are calculated while moving the waveforms in the vertical and horizontal directions and the height of an apex position of the standard waveform at a position having a largest correlation coefficient from the calculated result is decided as the height of the apex of the object. Accordingly, the height of the apex can be decided from the whole detected waveforms without influence of local abnormality of the reflected light quantity waveform due to minute ruggedness or discoloration of the surface of the object.
