The following describes a transfer method using the transfer apparatus provided by the embodiments of the present invention. Fig. 10 is a schematic flow chart of a transfer method according to an embodiment of the present invention, and fig. 11 is a schematic diagram of a transfer method according to an embodiment of the present invention in each step. Referring to fig. 10 and 11, the transfer method includes the steps of:
s110, providing the target substrate 300.
The target substrate 300 may also be referred to as a target carrier plate, i.e., the transfer target position of the chip 110 is a position on the target substrate 300.
S120, providing a transfer substrate 100, and aligning the transfer substrate 100 with a target substrate 300; the transfer substrate 100 is provided with optical excitation components 130 arranged in an array, and a side of the optical excitation components 130 away from the transfer substrate 100 is provided with the chips 110 to be transferred.
The transfer substrate 100 may also be referred to as a transition carrier or a temporary carrier, and is used for pre-arranging the chips 110 according to the sizes of the chips to be transferred. In general, the position and orientation of the chips 110 placed on the transfer substrate 100 may be imprecise, or even disorganized. In other embodiments, the chips 110 on the transfer substrate 100 are regularly aligned, and the number and positions of the chips 110 to be transferred may be pre-stored.
The light excitation part 130 is a part that is excited by specific light to generate a physical and/or chemical change. Illustratively, the optical excitation component 130 changes from a solid state or a liquid state to a gas state under the action of light, so as to generate gas expansion, and the chip 110 is transferred (knocked) from the transfer substrate 100 to the target substrate 300, and the host material of the optical excitation component 130 may include materials such as ether or an oxidant; the specific illumination includes at least one of laser, visible light or non-visible light (e.g., UV light), and correspondingly, the light source device 800 includes at least one of a laser generator, a visible light generator or a non-visible generator.
Alternatively, the array substrate 200 and the target substrate 300 are driven to synchronously displace and remain relatively stationary, so that the transfer substrate 100 and the target substrate 300 are aligned during the displacement. For example, dynamic piece beating is performed by calculating the motion advance, thereby being beneficial to further improving the transfer precision. Alternatively, both the driving array substrate 200 and the target substrate 300 are stationary, and both are kept absolutely stationary.
S130, providing the light source device 800 and the light source control device 600, and placing the light source control device 600 on the light path generated by the light source device 800.
The light source device 800 and the light source control device 600 cooperate to control the light signal, so as to activate the corresponding light-activated component 130. Alternatively, the light source device 800 may be a backlight panel, and the light source control device 600 may be a liquid crystal on silicon panel to implement row/column scanning or surface scanning, thereby improving the efficiency of mass transfer. Alternatively, the light source device 800 may include a first light source generating a light source beam and a beam expanding module, and the light source control device 600 may be a digital micromirror to implement row/column scanning or surface scanning, thereby improving the efficiency of mass transfer. Alternatively, the light source device 800 may comprise a second light source generating a light source beam and the light source control device 600 may be a deflector to enable row/column scanning.
S140, controlling the light source control device 600 to irradiate the light generated by the light source device 800 onto the corresponding optical excitation member 130, so as to transfer at least a part of the chips 110 on the transfer substrate 100 onto the target substrate 300.
There are multiple scanning ways for the light generated by the light source device 800 to the light excitation component 130, and optionally, the light source device 800 is controlled to generate a surface light source; the driving light source control device 600 performs surface scanning on the chip 110 satisfying the transfer accuracy. Or, alternatively, controlling the light source device 800 to generate a light source beam; the driving light source control device 600 performs single-point scanning on the chip 110 satisfying the transfer accuracy.
At least partially means a part or all of the chips 110 transferred, and if all of the chips 110 transferred satisfy the transfer accuracy, the number of chips transferred to the target substrate 300 is the total number; if only a part of the chips 110 transferred satisfies the transfer accuracy, the number of chips transferred to the target substrate 300 is a partial number. Alternatively, a method of determining whether the chip position on the transfer substrate 100 satisfies the transfer requirement is: comparing (for example, subtracting) the chip position on the transfer substrate 100 with a preset position or the chip solder foot position on the target substrate 300, determining whether the two positions are completely overlapped or partially overlapped, and if so, meeting the transfer requirement; if the minimum overlapping area is partially overlapped, the minimum overlapping area is compared with a set threshold value, and whether the threshold value requirement is met or not is determined.
Fig. 11 exemplarily shows that all chips 110 satisfy the transfer accuracy, and all chips 110 are transferred onto the target substrate 300. In another embodiment, only some of the chips 110 on the transfer substrate 100 may be configured to satisfy the transfer accuracy, and the corresponding photo-excitation members 130 may be configured to transfer the chips 110 satisfying the transfer accuracy, thereby completing the first piece-making operation. Then, the transfer substrate 100 is aligned again with the target substrate 300 so that at least a part of the remaining chips 110 can satisfy the alignment accuracy. And so on until all of the remaining chips 110 are transferred.
As can be seen from the above steps, the embodiment of the present invention excites the corresponding light excitation member 130 on the transfer substrate 100 by using the light source device 800 and the light source control device 600 to perform the component beating action, so that the corresponding chip 110 is separated from the transfer substrate 100. In this way, only the chips 110 that satisfy the transfer accuracy can be transferred in one transfer process, and the other chips 110 that do not satisfy the transfer accuracy can be transferred by performing the alignment again. Compared with the prior art of transferring in batches, the embodiment of the utility model provides a chip 110's the accurate control and the transfer of treating the transfer has been realized to improved and transferred the precision and transferred the yield.
In each of the above embodiments, optionally, the transferring method further includes the following steps:
first, the positions of the transfer substrate 100 and the target substrate 300 are measured by an optical measuring device to obtain transfer information.
The optical measurement device 400 may be, for example, an automatic optical inspection device (AOI) or an X-Ray (X Ray) measurement device. The measured information of the transfer substrate 100 may be, for example, a position of the chip 110 on the transfer substrate 100, a shape of the chip 110 on the transfer substrate 100, a crack of the chip 110 on the transfer substrate 100, an orientation of the chip 110 on the transfer substrate 100, a position of an alignment mark on the transfer substrate 100, a shape of an alignment mark on the transfer substrate 100, an orientation of an alignment mark on the transfer substrate 100, a position of the chip 110 on the transfer substrate 100, a shape of the chip 110 on the transfer substrate 100, a crack of the chip 110 on the transfer substrate 100, or an orientation of the chip 110 on the transfer substrate 100. The measured position information of the target substrate 300 may be, for example, a position of an alignment mark on the target substrate 300, a shape of an alignment mark on the target substrate 300, a direction of an alignment mark on the target substrate 300, a position of a pad on the target substrate 300, a shape of a pad on the target substrate 300, or a direction of a pad on the target substrate 300. Therefore, the alignment mark detected by the optical measurement apparatus 400 can be a alignment point or an alignment point array. The information detected by the optical measurement apparatus 400 can be used to perform alignment and also can be used to determine whether the chip 110 meets the alignment requirement.
Then, the data processing device processes according to the transfer information, determines whether the position of the chip 110 on the transfer substrate 100 meets the transfer accuracy, and obtains quantity information and position information; the light source control device 600 adjusts the path of the light generated by the light source device 800 according to the number information and the position information.
The data processing device 500 may be, for example, a chip 110 having a data processing function, such as a microprocessor, a single chip microcomputer, or a Digital Signal Processor (DSP). Specifically, the data processing device 500 can process and calculate positional information such as the position of the chip 110 on the transfer substrate 100, the position of the alignment mark on the transfer substrate 100, the shape of the alignment mark on the transfer substrate 100, or the direction of the alignment mark on the transfer substrate 100, and can obtain the position of the transfer substrate 100 and the position of each chip 110 on the transfer substrate 100. And, the data processing apparatus 500 can process and calculate the position of the alignment mark on the target substrate 300, the shape of the alignment mark on the target substrate 300, the direction of the alignment mark on the target substrate 300, the position of the pad on the target substrate 300, the shape of the pad on the target substrate 300, or the direction of the pad on the target substrate 300, and the like, and can obtain the position of the target substrate 300 and the position where each chip 110 on the target substrate 300 needs to be accurately placed. The data processing device 500 can process and calculate the shape of the chips 110 on the transfer substrate 100, cracks in the chips 110 on the transfer substrate 100, and the like, thereby obtaining the number and positions of defective chips 110. The data processing apparatus 500 combines the above information to determine whether the transfer substrate 100 and the target substrate 300 are aligned, and whether each chip 110 satisfies the transfer accuracy, thereby determining the number and position of the chips 110 to be transferred on the transfer substrate 100, and further controlling the light source control apparatus 600 such that the light emitted from the light source apparatus 800 is transmitted to the corresponding light excitation member 130.
