The invention relates to a device (10) for the separate application of solder material deposits (11), in particular solder balls, comprising a conveying device (19) for separately conveying the solder material deposits from a solder material reservoir (12) toward an application device (33), the conveying device having transport holders that are formed as passage holes and that can each be moved from a receiving position, in which a solder material deposit is received from the solder material reservoir, into a transfer position P2, in which the solder material deposit is exposed to a pressure gas, and from which the solder material deposit is transferred to an application opening of an application nozzle (36) of the application device into an application position P3, wherein a detector device (69) is provided that serves to trigger a treatment of the solder material deposit arranged in the application position P3 with laser radiation emitted by a laser device, wherein the detector device has a reflection sensor (70) that detects reflection radiation (72) that is reflected by the solder material deposit arranged in the application position P3.

A laser soldering device includes a laser source, a lens group, a temperature sensor, and a feedback controller. The laser source emits a laser beam, which is power-adjustable, according to a control signal. The temperature sensor receives infrared rays radiated when the laser beam is irradiated to the soldering point to detect the temperature of the soldering point, and correspondingly outputs a sensing signal according to the detected temperature. When the detected temperature falls into a first temperature range based on a target temperature, the feedback controller executes a PID algorithm to calculate a predicted error value according to an error value between the detected temperature and the target temperature. The feedback controller controls the laser source according to the predicted error value, and adjusts the power of the laser beam accordingly, so that the detected temperature can be substantially equal to the target temperature.

A method and a device for establishing a wire connection between a first contact surface and at least one further contact surface. A contact end of a wire is positioned in a contact position relative to the first contact surface with a wire guiding tool. Subsequently, a mechanical, electrically conductive connection is established between the first contact surface and the contact end with a first solder material connection, and subsequently the wire guiding tool is moved to the further contact surface thus forming a wire section and establishing a further mechanical, electrically conductive connection between the wire section end and the further contact surface with a further solder material connection.

Provided is a welding method that can enhance joining quality between an upper plate and a lower plate. One aspect of the present disclosure is a joining method including joining the upper plate to the lower plate that is overlapped with the upper plate by applying energy to a top surface of the upper plate to thereby melt the upper plate and the lower plate together. A joining path designed to apply the energy to the top surface of the upper plate crosses an axis along a joining-travel direction and includes a turn-point. An amount of the energy includes a first energy applied in the vicinity of the turn-point and a second energy amount applied in an area other than the vicinity of the turn-point. The first energy amount is smaller than the second energy amount.

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.

Embodiments of the present disclosure include method for sequentially mounting multiple semiconductor devices onto a substrate having a composite metal structure on both the semiconductor devices and the substrate for improved process tolerance and reduced device distances without thermal interference. The mounting process causes “selective” intermixing between the metal layers on the devices and the substrate and increases the melting point of the resulting alloy materials.
