Patent number: 7401393Abstract: The present invention provides a method for removing solder adhering to an LSI. In this method, a plate-shaped first member for causing molten solder to adhere thereto is mounted on top of a heater. An LSI is placed on top of the first member with the surface on which solder is attached facing downward. A second member for adding a load to the LSI is placed on top of the LSI. The heater is heated up to heat the first member and the LSI, and to melt the solder. The molten solder is transferred to the first member. A suction mechanism is positioned at a location a predetermined distance away from the top surface of the second member. The second member and the LSI are attracted by the suction mechanism, and the LSI is pulled away from the first member. The solder is thereby removed from the LSI.Type: GrantFiled: May 17, 2004Date of Patent: July 22, 2008Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Motoko Kimura, Takeshi Miitsu, Takeshi Takahashi, Kaoru Katayama, Shiro Yamashita

Patent number: 6435401Abstract: A solder-removing apparatus includes a heating portion for heating the object having the solder adhered thereto, a measuring portion for measuring the distance from the measuring portion to the object, a solder-drawing portion for drawing the molten solder on the object by suction, an X-Y moving portion for moving the object in an X-direction or a Y-direction, a Z moving portion for moving the object relative to the solder-drawing portion in a Z-direction, and a control portion for controlling the X-Y moving portion and the Z moving portion. During the time when the molten solder on the object is drawn by the solder-drawing portion, the control portion causes the X-Y moving portion to move the object, and also causes the Z moving portion to move the object relative to the solder-drawing portion in accordance with the distance, measured by the measuring portion, so that the distance between the solder-drawing portion and the object can be kept constant.Type: GrantFiled: July 18, 2000Date of Patent: August 20, 2002Assignee: Hitachi, Ltd.Inventors: Takeshi Miitsu, Kaoru Katayama, Yasuhiro Yamamoto
