Patent number: 7896223Abstract: Solder bumps formed on an electrode portion of a semiconductor chip are recently miniaturized, and when printing by using solder balls, the solder balls are also miniaturized. Therefore, it is required to print solder balls for printing with accuracy. Instead of a conventional squeegee, a solder ball loading member including a plurality of semi-spiral wire rods is provided at a print head portion for printing solder balls, and by pressing the solder ball loading member to a mask surface with a predetermined pressing force, turning forces of the solder balls are added by spaces formed by the wire rods. Accordingly, the solder balls are moderately dispersed, and are squeezed into an opening portion of the mask.Type: GrantFiled: August 19, 2009Date of Patent: March 1, 2011Assignee: Hitachi Plant Technologies, Ltd.Inventors: Makoto Honma, Noriaki Mukai, Shinichiro Kawabe, Akio Igarashi, Naoaki Hashimoto

Patent number: 5369493Abstract: An apparatus for transporting an electronic component includes a head for holding the component when the component is picked up from a suitable storage device. The head is movable relative to a base with an imaging apparatus being fixed to the head and allowing position of the component relative to the head to be determined while the component is being transported. A movable optical component is provided on the head which, in one position, contributes to defining an optical path between the component and the imaging apparatus, and in another position, is withdrawn. A further imaging apparatus may be provided, on the base or on the head with the further imaging apparatus detecting the position of large components, if the first imaging apparatus has a narrow filed of view for small components. Alternatively, when the further imaging apparatus is on the head, the imaging apparatus may detect the position to which the component is to be transported.Type: GrantFiled: March 19, 1991Date of Patent: November 29, 1994Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Masamichi Tomita, Kazuo Honma, Shigemi Igarashi, Tadaaki Ishikawa, Ryu Takizawa, Sotozi Hiramoto, Makoto Honma, Seiji Hata, Mitsuo Nakamura

Patent number: 5208463Abstract: Method and apparatus for detecting vertical and horizontal deformations of leads of a semiconductor device by illuminating the leads with a planar light beam and determining relative positions of the planar light beam on the leads on the basis of distribution of light rays reflected from the leads. Different lead deformations can be detected with one and the same mechanism within a short time. By applying the invention to a semiconductor device mounting apparatus, a single detector can be employed in common both for the detection of the semiconductor device position and the detection of reflections of the planar beam.Type: GrantFiled: August 5, 1991Date of Patent: May 4, 1993Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Makoto Honma, Sotozi Hiramoto, Seiji Hata, Masamichi Tomita, Akira Ishibashi

Patent number: 4191851Abstract: An FM noise suppressor comprising a detector circuit which detects noise pulses included in a detected stereo composite signal, a gate circuit which is enabled or disabled by an output from the detector circuit, and a reproducing circuit which receives the stereo composite signal without intervention of the gate circuit and which reproduces a subcarrier signal for FM stereo signal demodulation in synchronism with a pilot signal included in the received stereo composite signal. A decoder demodulates stereo signals on the basis of an output signal of the gate circuit and the output signal of the reproducing circuit.Type: GrantFiled: March 28, 1978Date of Patent: March 4, 1980Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Makoto Honma, Takao Inoue
