  • Patent number: 10748800
    Abstract: A chip bonding device is disclosed, including a first motion stage (110), a second motion stage (200), a chip pickup element (160), a transfer carrier (170), a chip adjustment system (1000), a bonding stage (420) and a control system (500). A chip bonding method is also disclosed, in which a set of chips are temporarily retained on the transfer carrier (170) and their positions on the transfer carrier (170) are accurately adjusted by using the chip adjustment system (1000), followed by bonding the chips on the transfer carrier (170) simultaneously onto the substrate (430). With this batch bonding approach, flip-chips can be bonded with greatly enhanced efficiency. Moreover, picking up and bonding chips in batches can balance times for chip picking up, fine chip position tuning and chip bonding, thereby ensuring high bonding accuracy while increasing the throughput.

  • Patent number: 10656507
    Abstract: A measurement device and method for focusing and leveling are disclosed. The device includes a measuring optical path and a first monitoring optical path. Measuring light in the measuring optical path interacts with a wafer and is then incident on a measuring detector to form thereon a measuring mark. First monitoring light in the first monitoring optical path is incident on a measuring detector to form thereon a first monitoring mark. An error in a measurement result of the wafer that arises from a drift of the measuring detector can be eliminated by compensating for a vertical deviation of the wafer obtained by subtracting a drift of the first monitoring mark from a displacement of the measuring mark. In this way, measurement accuracy and stability can be improved by monitoring and correcting the drift of the measuring detector.
