  • Publication number: 20230120615
    Abstract: A semiconductor manufacturing apparatus includes a thrust-up unit having a plurality of blocks in contact with a dicing tape, a head having a collet absorbing the die and capable of being moved up and down, and a control section controlling the operation of the thrust-up unit and the head. The thrust-up unit can operate each of the plurality of blocks independently. The control section configures the thrust-up sequences of the plurality of blocks in a plurality of steps, and controls the operation of the plurality of blocks on the basis of a time chart recipe capable of setting the height and the speed of the plurality of blocks for each block and in each step.

  • Publication number: 20130299098
    Abstract: In a chip pick-up process after dicing in an assembly process during manufacture of a semiconductor integrated circuit device it is an important subject to diminish a pick-up defect caused by the reduction in thickness of each chip which is proceeding in quick tempo. Particularly, bending of the chip peripheral portion caused by a peeling operation is very likely to induce cracking and chipping of the chip. In the present invention, to solve these problems, in case of peeling a chip from a dicing tape (adhesive tape) or the like while vacuum-chucking the chip by a chucking collet, the flow rate of a vacuum chucking system in the chucking collet is monitored to check a bent state of the chip before complete separation of the first chip from the adhesive tape.
