Die Bonder and Method of Position Recognition of Die
A die bonder comprises a storage unit which stores the image of the wafer taken by an imaging unit, a recognition pattern included the outline of a die formed on the wafer, and a recognition program, and a monitor-processing unit which gets the position on the wafer, of the die whose map data indicates normal, in the way that the die is matched with the recognition pattern by executing the recognition program, and that the center position of the die is gotten. Thus, the die bonder can recognize the position of the die without regard to the condition of dies on the wafer.
1 . A die bonder comprising:
a imaging unit which takes an image of a wafer;
a storage unit which stores the image of the wafer taken by the imaging unit, a recognition pattern included the outline of a die formed on the wafer, and a recognition program;
an interface unit which received map data indicated that the die is normal or abnormal;
a monitor-processing unit which gets the position on the wafer of the die whose map data indicates normal, in the way that the die on the wafer is matched with the recognition pattern by executing the recognition program, and the center position of the die is gotten.
2 . The die bonder according to claim 1 ,
wherein the recognition pattern is only one kind for the die of one design specification, and is used in order to get the center position of the die without regard to whether map data corresponded to the die is normal or abnormal.
3 . the die bonder according to claim 1 ,
wherein the center position of the die is gotten by dicing grooves formed on the wafer, when the recognition patters and a pattern of the die are not comparable.
4 . A method of position recognition of a die comprising the steps of:
storing to a storage unit, the image of the wafer taken by an imaging unit;
generating, by a monitor-processing unit, one kind of recognition pattern of the die included the outline of the die on the wafer, by means of executing a recognition program;
recognizing, by a monitor-processing unit, the center position of the die on the wafer, by means of executing a recognition program, in the way that the die is matched with the recognition pattern; and
getting, by a monitor-processing unit, the center position of the die for inspection on the wafer on the basis of the dicing groove of the die, by means of executing a recognition program, when the die is matched with the recognition pattern, and the pattern of the die and the recognition pattern are not comparable.
