Abstract

An electronic component mounting apparatus is capable of significantly reducing a warpage amount of an electronic component warped in a case of thermocompression bonding using a conductive adhesive agent having conductive particles and a low minimum melt viscosity where a thin electronic component having a thickness smaller than or equal to 200 μm is mounted on a wiring board. In the mounting apparatus, an anisotropic conductive adhesive film having the minimum melt viscosity lower than or equal to 1.0×10 3 Pa·s is placed on a wiring board placed on a base, and an IC chip having a thickness smaller than or equal to 200 μm is placed on the anisotropic conductive adhesive film. In the mounting apparatus, the IC chip is pressurized by a thermocompression bonding head having a compression bonding portion made of elastomer having a rubber hardness lower than or equal to 60, so that the IC chip is bonded onto the wiring board by thermocompression.

Claims (8)

1. A method for mounting an electronic component onto a wiring board by thermocompression bonding, the method comprising:

placing a conductive adhesive agent having a minimum melt viscosity lower than or equal to 1.0×10 3 Pa·s on the wiring board placed on a base and placing the electronic component having a thickness smaller than or equal to 200 μm on the conductive adhesive agent, as a first step; and

pressurizing the electronic component using a thermocompression bonding head having a compression bonding portion made of elastomer having a rubber hardness lower than or equal to 60 to perform the thermocompression bonding of the electronic component onto the wiring board, as a second step.

2. The method for mounting the electronic component according to claim 1 , wherein the second step allows the thermocompression bonding head to pressurize a top surface region of the electronic component with respect to the wiring board with a prescribed pressure and a side surface region of the electronic component with a pressure being smaller than that applied with respect to the top surface region.

3. The method for mounting the electronic component according to claim 2 , wherein the compression bonding portion is formed in such a manner that an area of a compression bonding surface is larger than that of the top surface of the electronic component and a thickness thereof is greater than or equal to that of the electronic component.

4. The method for mounting the electronic component according to claim 1 , wherein the second step allows a side close to the electronic component to be heated at a prescribed temperature and a side close to the wiring board to be heated at a temperature being higher than the prescribed temperature.

5. The method for mounting the electronic component according to claim 1 , wherein the second step allows the thermocompression bonding head to pressurize the electronic component with a pressure being greater than or equal to 5 kgf and smaller than or equal to 15 kgf per the electronic component.

6. The method for mounting the electronic component according to claim 1 , wherein the conductive adhesive agent is an anisotropic conductive adhesive film including conductive particles dispersed in binding resin.
