  • Publication number: 20050067395
    Abstract: A solder bonding method and a solder bonding device are provided, in which solder is melted, and heating of electrode portions is performed by irradiating laser light to an inner side of a region where electrodes portions are provided, making the temperature difference between the electrode portions and the melted solder smaller to improve the wettability of the solder and increase bonding reliability. The solder bonding method and the solder bonding device perform bonding of the electrode portions that are formed on an object to be bonded by melting the solder. After supplying the solder onto the electrode portions before melting, a laser is irradiated to the solder and to the electrode portions in the periphery of the solder. The solder melts, and the electrode portions are heated. The wettability of the solder with respect to the electrode portions thus improves, and the reliability of an electrical connection between the electrode portions can be increased.

  • Publication number: 20050051521
    Abstract: Provided are a solder ball bonding method and a solder ball bonding device for performing bonding of a plurality of electrode portions formed on objects to be bonded by melting solder balls. The solder balls are suctioned by using a plurality of suction nozzles that follow the electrode portions of the objects to be bonded, and conveyed onto the electrode portions. A laser irradiation portion that is positioned above the suction nozzles is then moved in a direction along which the suction nozzles are arranged, while the solder balls are irradiated with laser light passing through suction openings of the suction nozzles by using the laser irradiation portion. Accordingly, it is possible to melt the plurality of solder balls on the electrode portions by using only a single laser irradiation portion.

  • Publication number: 20050045701
    Abstract: After introducing a solder ball from a hopper into a receiving hole of a ball separator, the ball separator is slid between blocks, and the solder ball is sent out to a portion outside of the blocks. By suctioning the solder ball from within a projected region on a lower block which is situated inside of the receiving hole at a time when the solder ball is taken into the receiving hole and surrounds a rolling trajectory of the solder ball that has been taken into the receiving hole, the solder ball is forcibly introduced into the receiving hole.

  • Publication number: 20050003317
    Abstract: The present invention provides a quartz glass single hole nozzle for feeding fluid capable of performing high-precision control of a flow rate, a burner for heat processing equipped with the quartz glass single hole nozzle, a quartz glass multihole burner head for feeding fluid preferably used in flame processing or the like, and a quartz glass burner for heat processing equipped with the multihole burner. By using the nozzle, even if a distal end portion of the quartz glass burner, namely the nozzle is broken by contact with a workpiece or the like, it is enough to only replace the broken nozzle with a new one without a necessity for replacing the entire expensive quartz glass burner. When applying the nozzle to a metal burner, there can be given usefulness of the quartz glass such as heat resistance and contamination resistance or the like.

  • Publication number: 20040183876
    Abstract: In a maintenance method of an inkjet printer comprising an air discharge device which discharges air accumulated in ink supply paths with pressurized air and an ink vacuum device which vacuums ink from an inkjet head, the pressurized air is in a high pressure mode when the air discharge device is used. The pressurized air is in a low pressure mode when the ink vacuum device is used. The driving time and the rotational speed of a drive motor which drives an air pump are controlled according to the capability and the ambient temperature of the air pump which generates the pressurized air.
