  • Patent number: 9894714
    Abstract: An electrical heating device electrically heats a material to be heated by supplying an electric current flowing between a plurality of electrodes. The electrical heating device includes a temperature detection device which detects temperature information of a plurality of areas of the material to be heated, a supplemental heating device which heats each of the plurality of areas of the material to be heated, and a controller for controlling heating of the material to be heated. During the electrical heating, the controller controls, based on the temperature of each of the plurality of areas of the material to be heated detected by the temperature detection device, the supplemental heating device so that the supplemental heating device heats at least one area or all of areas having a temperature lower than the temperature of an area having a highest temperature among the plurality of areas.

    Abstract: A solder ball bonding (SBB) tool includes a rotatable feed plate for transporting solder balls from a translatable solder ball reservoir to a nozzle unit, which is a position at which a laser light source can irradiate and thus melt the solder balls. The SBB tool includes a gap between the reservoir and the feed plate positioned over the reservoir, and a feed mechanism coupled with the reservoir, where the feed mechanism is driven by a pressurized gas to translate the reservoir upward across at least a portion of the gap in preparation for movement of a solder ball to the feed plate and downward in preparation for rotation of the feed plate after a solder ball is moved to the feed plate. The gap may have a maximum size that exceeds a nominal size of the solder balls contained in the reservoir.
